description: Atypus flexus sp. nov. (Figs 10–15) Type material. Holotype male, CHINA: Guangxi Province, Nanning City, 22°48’N, 108°18’E, Gaofeng Forestry Centre, 1 July 1985, Y. Q. Zhang leg. (MHBU). Diagnosis. Males differ from those of other species by the shorter conductor of the bulb with its upper distal corner strongly folded downwards. The species is similar to A. largosaccatus sp. nov. in that the first pair of sternal sigilla are remote from the anterior margin of the sternum, but it differs in the first pair of sigilla being smaller than the second pair (Fig. 12), and in the strongly folded upper distal corner of the conductor of its palpal bulb (Fig. 14). Etymology. The specific name is taken from the Latin participle or noun “flexus” (= being bent or a bend) and refers to the strongly curved upper distal corner of male conductor. Description. Male (holotype). Total length (including chelicerae) 12.42. Carapace 4.14 long, 4.05 wide; abdomen 4.59 long, 2.88 wide.

description: The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is a pair-conversion telescope designed to detect photons with energies from 20 MeV to > 300 GeV. The pre-launch response functions of the LAT were determined through extensive Monte Carlo simulations and beam tests. The point-spread function (PSF) characterizing the angular distribution of reconstructed photons as a function of energy and geometry in the detector is determined here from two years of on-orbit data by examining the distributions of γrays from pulsars and active galactic nuclei (AGN). Above 3 GeV, the PSF is found to be broader than the pre-launch PSF. We checked for dependence of the PSF on the class of γ-ray source and observation epoch and found none. We also investigated several possible spatial models for pair-halo emission around BL Lac AGN. We found no evidence for a component with spatial extension larger than the PSF and set upper limits on the amplitude of halo emission in stacked images of low and high redshift BL Lac AGN and the TeV blazars 1ES0229+200 and 1ES0347-121.

description: We introduce the concept of a bosonic spin liquid condensate (SLC), where spinful bosons in a lattice form a zero-temperature spin disordered charge condensate that preserves the spin rotation symmetry, but breaks the U(1) symmetry due to a spinless order parameter with charge one. It has an energy gap to all the spin excitations. We show that such SLC states can be realized in a system of spin $S\ge 2$ bosons. In particular, we analyze the SLC phase diagram in the spin 2 case using a mean-field variational wave function method. We show there is a direct analogy between the SLC and the resonating-valence-bond (RVB) state.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to uncover how knowledge is exchanged and disseminated in the educational administration research literature through the journal citation network. Research Methods: Drawing upon social network theory and citation network studies in other disciplines, we constructed an educational administration journal citation network by extracting all 157,372 citations from 5,359 journal articles in 30 educational administration journals from 2009 to 2013. We then performed social network analysis to visualize the network structure by journal clusters, and quantified journal prominence and interdisciplinarity by calculating Freeman indegree and betweenness, respectively. In addition to journal-to-journal citations, we examined the sources of non-journal citations by citation counts. Findings: The results of journal prominence, interdisciplinarity, and eight journal clusters in the citation network indicate that educational administration, as a porous field, intimately interacts with the sub-fields of education (e.g., urban education and teacher education), other disciplines (e.g., economics, human resources, sociology, and psychology), and the research internationally. In addition to journals as the knowledge source (45.29%), we also found books (31.08%) and reports (14.98%) are important citation sources in the educational administration research literature. The most cited books and reports shed light on the knowledge base in the theory, research, and practice of educational administration. Originality/value: The results of this by far the largest-scale study of educational administration journals present abundant evidence that educational administration is a porous field. This study also presents social network analysis as an alternative method to evaluate journal influence in the educational administration field.

description: Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and results in progressive memory loss, cognitive impairment, and general disability. Analyzing the disease course of AD is critical to implementing personalized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that can manage disease progression. Longitudinal data for AD patients can be extracted from electronic health records (EHR), consisting of varying numbers of visits and non-uniform time intervals between visits. These aspects of EHR-derived data can result in the failure of traditional time series and machine learning methods when trying to predict AD progression. As an alternative, we explored the use of a simplified form of recurrent neural networks (RNN), MinimalRNN, to predict the progression of AD markers and disease stage up to 6 years into the future by leveraging temporal and clinical patterns extracted from the EHR.  Specifically, outpatient EHR data from June 1st 2013 through May 31st 2018 were extracted from the EHR of Barnes-Jewish Hospital, a large tertiary-referral academic medical center in St. Louis, MO. Longitudinal data from 1193 patients encompassing 3676 visits where one or more neurobehavioral status exam scores were selected for further analyses. To impute missing data, we explored two techniques: a ‘linear filling’ strategy which performs a linear interpolation between the previous and next observed timepoints using available data during preprocessing, and an integrative ‘model filling’ strategy which utilizes the predictions from the MinimalRNN model itself to fill in missing data during training and testing. Our analyses demonstrated that with simplified update equations and fewer parameters, MinimalRNN performs similarly to baseline long short-term memory networks (LSTM) but has ~1.6X faster training time. For both MinimalRNN and LSTM, model filling yielded better results than linear filling. Future analyses will include model hyperparameter optimization, incorporating more clinical features, and interpreting the importance of each clinical feature and model component.

description: We present the first experimental realization of a flexible multidimensional quantum channel where the Hilbert space dimensionality can be controlled electronically. Using electro-optical modulators (EOM) and narrow-band optical filters, quantum information is encoded and decoded in the temporal degrees of freedom of photons from a long-coherence-time single-photon source. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of a generic scheme for encoding and transmitting multidimensional quantum information over the existing fiber-optical telecommunications infrastructure.

description: Objectives  In 2015 and 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued guidelines on HIV testing services (HTS) highlighting recommendations for a strategic mix of differentiated HTS approaches. The Policy review examines the uptake of differentiated HIV Testing service (HTS) approaches recommendations. Methods  Data were extracted from all available national policies published between January 2015 and June 2019 and stored in WHO's national policy repository. WHO recommended as HTS approaches facility-based testing, community-based testing, HIV self-testing and provider-assisted referral (or assisted partner notification); in terms of testing components: pre-test information, lay provider testing and rapid testing. Descriptive analyses were conducted to examine availability of policies and adherence to WHO-differentiated HTS recommendations. Results Of 194 countries worldwide, 65 published policies were identified in the review period. 24 were from the African region (51% of African countries, 24/47), six from the Eastern Mediterranean region (29%, 6/21), 21 from the European region (40%, 21/53), five from the American region (14%, 5/35), four from the South East Asia region (36%, 4/11) and five from the Western Pacific Region (19%, 5/27). Only five countries were compliant with recommendations and 63 included at least one. 85% (n=55) included facility-based testing for pregnant women, 75% (n=49) facility-based testing for key populations, 74% (n=48) community-based testing for key populations, 38% (n=25) HIV self-testing, 25% (n=16) provider-assisted referral, 69% (n=45) rapid testing, 57% (n=37) post-test counselling, 45% (n=29) lay provider testing and 29% (n=19) pre-test information. The highest uptake of WHO recommendations was seen in countries from the African and Eastern Mediterranean region. Conclusions There was substantial variability in the uptake of WHO HTS recommendations, ranging from 25% to 85%. Uptake was above 50% for facility-based testing for pregnant women and key populations, community-based testing, rapid diagnostic testing and post-test counselling; uptake was between 25% and 45% for all the other recommendations.

description: We calculate the bispectrum of primordial curvature perturbations, ζ, generated during "open inflation." Inflation occurs inside a bubble nucleated via quantum tunneling from the background false vacuum state. Our universe lives inside the bubble, which can be described as a Friedman-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe with negative spatial curvature, undergoing slow-roll inflation. We pay special attention to the issue of an initial state for quantum fluctuations. A "vacuum state" defined by a positive-frequency mode in de Sitter space charted by open coordinates is different from the Euclidean vacuum (which is equivalent to the so-called "Bunch-Davies vacuum"). Quantum tunneling then modifies the initial state away from the original Euclidean vacuum. While most of the previous study on modifications of the initial quantum state introduces, by hand, an initial time at which the quantum state is modified as well as the form of the modification, an effective initial time naturally emerges and the form is fixed by quantum tunneling in open inflation models. Therefore, open inflation enables a self-consistent computation of the effect of a modified initial state on the bispectrum. We find a term which goes as \propto 1/k_1^2k_3^4 in the so-called squeezed configurations, k_3\ll k_1\approx k_2, in agreement with the previous study. The bispectrum in the exact folded limit, e.g., k_1=k_2+k_3, is also enhanced and remains finite. However, these terms are exponentially suppressed when the wavelength of ζis smaller than the curvature radius of the universe. The leading-order bispectrum is equal to the usual one from single-field slow-roll inflation; the terms specific for open inflation arise only in the sub-leading order when the wavelength of ζis smaller than the curvature radius.

description: We construct a simple phenomenological model for the evolving galaxy population by incorporating pre-defined baryonic prescriptions into a dark matter hierarchical merger tree. Specifically the model is based on the simple gas-regulator model introduced by Lilly et al. 2013 coupled with the empirical quenching rules of Peng et al. 2010/12. The simplest model already does quite well in reproducing, without re-adjusting the input parameters, many observables including the Main Sequence sSFR-mass relation, the faint end slope of the galaxy mass function and the shape of the star-forming and passive mass functions. Compared with observations and/or the recent phenomenological model of Behroozi et al. 2013 based on epoch-dependent abundance-matching, our model also qualitatively reproduces the evolution of the Main Sequence sSFR(z) and SFRD(z) star formation rate density relations, the $M_s - M_h$ stellar-to-halo mass relation and also the $SFR - M_h$ relation. Quantitatively the evolution of sSFR(z) and SFRD(z) is not steep enough, the $M_s - M_h$ relation is not quite peaked enough and, surprisingly, the ratio of quenched to star-forming galaxies around M* is not quite high enough. We show that these deficiencies can simultaneously be solved by ad hoc allowing galaxies to re-ingest some of the gas previously expelled in winds, provided that this is done in a mass-dependent and epoch-dependent way. These allow the model galaxies to reduce an inherent tendency to saturate their star-formation efficiency. This emphasizes how efficient galaxies around M* are in converting baryons into stars and highlights the fact that quenching occurs just at the point when galaxies are rapidly approaching the maximum possible efficiency of converting baryons into stars.

description: An archived version of the analysis repository for the Data availability section of the article "Secondary structure of the human mitochondrial genome affects formation of deletions" by Shamanskiy et al., 2023 BMC Biology.

 Background Ageing in postmitotic tissues is associated with clonal expansion of somatic mitochondrial deletions, the origin of which is not well understood. Such deletions are often flanked by direct nucleotide repeats, but this alone does not fully explain their distribution. Here, we hypothesized that the close proximity of direct repeats on single-stranded mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) might play a role in the formation of deletions. Results By analyzing human mtDNA deletions in the major arc of mtDNA, which is single-stranded during replication and is characterized by a high number of deletions, we found a non-uniform distribution with a "hot spot" where one deletion breakpoint occurred within the region of 6-9kb and another within 13-16kb of the mtDNA. This distribution was not explained by the presence of direct repeats, suggesting that other factors, such as the spatial proximity of these two regions can be the cause. In silico analyses revealed that the single-stranded major arc may be organized as a large-scale hairpin-like loop with a center close to 11kb and contacting regions between 6-9 kb and 13-16 kb, which would explain the high deletion activity in this contact zone. The direct repeats located within the contact zone, such as the well-known common repeat with a first arm at 8470-8482 bp (base pair) and a second arm at 13447-13459 bp, are three times more likely to cause deletions compared to direct repeats located outside of the contact zone. A comparison of age- and disease-associated deletions demonstrated that the contact zone plays a crucial role in explaining the age-associated deletions, emphasizing its importance in the rate of healthy ageing. Conclusions Overall, we provide topological insights into the mechanism of age-associated deletion formation in human mtDNA, which could be used to predict somatic deletion burden and maximum lifespan in different human haplogroups and mammalian species.

description: The Quantum Satisfiability problem (QSAT) is the generalization of the canonical NP-complete problem - Boolean Satisfiability. (k,s)-QSAT is the following variant of the problem: given a set of projectors of rank 1, acting non-trivially on k qubits out of n qubits, such that each qubit appears in at most s projectors, decide whether there exists a quantum state in the null space of all the projectors. Let f*(k) be the maximal integer s such that every (k,s)-QSAT instance is satisfiable. Deciding (k,f*(k))-QSAT is computationally easy: by definition the answer is "satisfiable". But, by relaxing the conditions slightly, we show that (k,f*(k)+2)-QSAT is QMA_1-hard, for k >=15. This is a quantum analogue of a classical result by Kratochvíl et al. [KST93]. We use the term "an almost sudden jump" to stress that the complexity of (k,f*(k)+1)-QSAT is open, where the jump in the classical complexity is known to be sudden. We present an implication of this finding to the quantum PCP conjecture, arguably one of the most important open problems in the field of Hamiltonian complexity. Our implications impose constraints on one possible way to refute the quantum PCP.

description: Ultra-thin tri-color (tri-layer) titanate superlattices ([3u.c. LaTiO3/2u.c. SrTiO3/3u.c. YTiO3], u.c. = unit cells) were grown in a layer-by-layer way on single crystal TbScO3 (110) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. High sample quality and electronic structure were characterized by the combination of in-situ photoelectron and ex-situ structure and surface morphology probes. Temperature-dependent sheet resistance indicates the presence of metallic interfaces in both [3u.c. LaTiO3/2u.c. SrTiO3] bi-layers and all the tri-color structures, whereas a [3u.c. YTiO3/2u.c. SrTiO3] bi-layer shows insulating behavior. Considering that in the bulk YTiO3 is ferromagnetic below 30 K, the tri-color titanate superlattices provide an opportunity to induce tunable spin- polarization into the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with Mott carriers.

The Place of Agencies in Government: Separa­tion of Powers and the Fourth Branch

description: In the pages following I argue that, for any consideration of the structure given law-administration below the very apex of the governmental structure, the rigid separation-of-powers compartmentalization of governmental functions should be abandoned in favor of analysis in terms of separation of functions and checks and balances. Almost fifty years of experience has accustomed lawyers and judges to accepting the independent regulatory com- missions, in the metaphor, as a "headless 'fourth branch"' of government. Although the resulting theoretical confusion has certainly been noticed,' we accept the idea of potent actors in government joining judicial, legislative and executive functions, yet falling outside the constitutionally described schemata of three named branches embracing among them the entire allocated authority of government. What would be the consequences of so viewing all government regulators? I believe such a shift in view would carry with it significant analytical advantages by directing our focus away from the truly insignificant structural and procedural differences between the "independent regulatory commissions" and other agencies to the relationships existing between each such agency and the three named branches. Each such agency is to some extent "independent" of each of the named branches and to some extent in relationship with each. The continued achievement of the intended balance and interaction among the three named actors at the top of government, with each continuing to have effective responsibility for its unique core function, depends on the existence of relationships between each of these actors and each agency within which that function can find voice. A shorthand way of putting the argument is that we should stop pretending that all our government (as distinct from its highest levels) can be allocated into three neat parts. The theory of separation-of-powers breaks down when attempting to locate administrative and regulatory agencies within one of the three branches; its vitality, rather, lies in the formulation and specification of the controls that Congress, the Supreme Court and the President may exercise over administration and regulation.

description: In this paper we consider ball packings in $4$-dimensional hyperbolic space. We show that it is possible to exceed the conjectured $4$-dimensional realizable packing density upper bound due to L. Fejes Tóth (Regular Figures, 1964). We give seven examples of horoball packing configurations that yield higher densities of $0.71644896\dots$, where horoballs are centered at ideal vertices of certain Coxeter simplices, and are invariant under the actions of their respective Coxeter groups.

description: Scientific progress often depends on the ability of the scientific community to build on the works of others. Such works include scientific data, published reports of findings, and other research-related information and artifacts that are produced as part of the scientific process. Providing capabilities for accessing and using such scientific works enables the reproducibility of published methods and results to identify opportunities for improvement. Access and use of science products also enables others to build on previous work. In an increasingly digital world, the science community accesses and uses relevant scientific resources that have been obtained from digital repositories, data centers, and archives, as well as from traditional sources such as publishers of journal articles. Digital repositories need to establish capabilities, which provide access to and enable the use of digital resources. These resources are needed by the science community to improve and build o! n the efforts of others. Digital repositories that provide free and unrestricted access to scientific data and research-related information can reduce the barriers to science. By reducing these barriers they will be able to offer opportunities for members of the scientific community to pursue research questions and challenges that were previously unapproachable. These may include opportunities for researchers to gather data from other domains and support interdisciplinary research. Opportunities to use the data products and services offered by digital repositories also can contribute to the development of the scientific community and to the emergence of new areas of study.

Year: 2025

description: In this article, a new family of lifetime distributions is introduced to help researchers model different types of data sets. Furthermore, the maximum likelihood method was used in estimating the model's parameters. Some structural properties of the distribution have been derived and studied. These are density function, distribution function, and reliability function, hazard rate function, moments, moment generating function, entropies, order statistics, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves. Simulation method was used to investigate the behaviors of the parameters of the proposed distribution; the results showed that the mean square error and standard error for the chosen parameter values decrease as the sample size increases. The proposed distribution was tested on real-life data, the results showed that the ET-exponential distribution performed better than other well-known distributions in modeling data. The results also showed that the distribution can be used as an alternative model in modeling lifetime processes.

Statistical Inferences to the Parameter and Reliability Characteristics of Gamma-mixed Rayleigh Distribution under Progressively Censored Data with Application

Publisher: name: REVSTAT-Statistical Journal
Year: 2025

description: The purpose of the present paper is two-fold. First, we consider the estimation of the unknown model parameters and the reliability characteristics of a gamma-mixed Rayleigh distribution when a progressively type-II censored sample (PT-IICS) is available. The sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of the maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) is obtained. We compute MLEs using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. Asymptotic confidence intervals are constructed. For comparison purposes, confidence intervals using bootstrap-p and bootstrap-t methods are also constructed. Bayes estimates are derived with respect to the squared error, LINEX, and the entropy loss functions. Two approximation techniques (Lindley and importance sampling) are used for the computation of the Bayes estimates. Further, the highest posterior density (HPD) credible intervals are derived using the importance sampling method. Second, we consider the problem of Bayesian prediction. Prediction estimates and the associated prediction equal-tail intervals under one-sample and two-sample frameworks are obtained. A simulation study is conducted the comparison the methods of estimation and prediction. Finally, a real dataset is considered and analyzed for the purpose of illustration.

description: From thermodynamics point of view, in this era of aiming at energy conservation and sustainability, we need to develop more accurate ways to design thermal power, cooling and heat pump cycles. It has been the general practice in thermodynamic analysis of cycles to use the Carnot efficiency and Carnot coefficient of performance which are the highest upper bound to efficiency and COP of cycles. In the present report through the application of the second law of thermodynamics for irreversible processes, which results in the general inequality relation for the entropy production, we have introduce new upper- and lower-bounds to the efficiency of thermal power cycles and COP of cooling and heat pump cycles. The resulting upper- and lower-bounds are closer to the actual efficiency and COP of cycles. That allows us a more precise design of cycles and the choice of cycles working fluids.

description: I will pursue the act of re-centering rape as a specific and rampantly pervasive tool of enforcing power within the Jim Crow South in the U.S. and in India under colonial rule. I will make the argument that once rape is recognized as more than a mere bi-product of society, but instead as a central apparatus for subjugation, freedom movements must then focus on anti- rape rhetoric in order to achieve societal ‘wellness’. Historic freedom movements, which we are taught to be grateful for, ignored the centrality of rape and engaged the pursuit of freedom as a competition in masculinity. I will argue that this has enabled rape to persist through to our contemporary existence, rendering the most marginalized women the most vulnerable, and ultimately inhibiting true liberation for the formerly colonized or subjugated group.
Biological agency: a concept without a research program.

description: This paper evaluates recent work purporting to show that the "agency" of organisms is an important phenomenon for evolutionary biology to study. Biological agency is understood as the capacity for goal-directed, self-determining activity-a capacity that is present in all organisms irrespective of their complexity and whether or not they have a nervous system. Proponents of the "agency perspective" on biological systems have claimed that agency is not explainable by physiological or developmental mechanisms, or by adaptation via natural selection. We show that this idea is theoretically unsound and unsupported by current biology. There is no empirical evidence that the agency perspective has the potential to advance experimental research in the life sciences. Instead, the phenomena that the agency perspective purports to make sense of are better explained using the well-established idea that complex multiscale feedback mechanisms evolve through natural selection.
The bow-shock and high-speed jet in the faint, 40 arcmin diameter, outer halo of the evolved Helix planetary nebula (NGC 7293)

description: In previous, very deep, optical images of NGC 7293 both a feature that has the morphology of a bow-shock and one with that of a jet were discovered in the faint 40 arcmin diameter halo of the nebula. Spatially resolved longslit profiles of the Halpha and [N II] 6548, 6584 A nebular emission lines from both features have now been obtained. The bow-shaped feature has been found to have Halpha radial velocities close to the systemic heliocentric radial velocity, -27 km/s, of NGC 7293 and is faint in the [N II] 6548, 6584 A emission lines. Furthermore, the full width of these profiles matches the relative motion of NGC 7293 with its ambient interstellar medium consequently it is deduced that the feature is a real bow-shock caused by the motion of NGC 7293 as it ploughs through this medium. The proper motion of the central star also points towards this halo feature which substantiates this interpretation of its origin. Similarly [N II] 6584 A line profiles reveal that the jet-like filament is indeed a collimated outflow, as suggested by its morphology, at around 300 km/s with turbulent widths of around 50 km/s. It's low Halpha/[N II] 6548, 6584 A brightness ratio suggests collisional ionization as expected in a high-speed jet.
