description: Anion hydration is complicated by H-bond donation between neighboring water molecules in addition to H-bond donation to the anion. This situation can lead to competing structures for chemically simple clusters like (H$_2$O)$_n$Cl$^-$ and to anharmonic vibrational motions. Quasi-chemical theory builds from electronic structure treatment of isolated ion-water clusters, partitions the hydration free energy into inner-shell and outer-shell contributions, and provides a general statistical mechanical framework to study complications of anion hydration. The present study exploits dynamics calculations on isolated (H$_2$O)$_n$Cl$^-$ clusters to account for anharmonicity, utilizing ADMP (atom-centered basis sets and density-matrix propagation) tools. Comparing singly hydrated F$^-$ and Cl$^-$ clusters, classic OH-bond donation to the anion occurs for F$^-$, while Cl$^-$ clusters exhibit more flexible but dipole-dominated interactions between ligand and ion. The predicted Cl$^-$ -- F$^-$ hydration free energy difference agrees well with experiment, a significant theoretical step for addressing issues like Hofmeister ranking and selectivity in ion channels.

description: The aim of the paper is to analyze the impact of socio-economic and demographic variables on the demand for meat and fish for Tunisian consumers. This study is one of the first applications in Tunisia with respect to the demand for meat and fish that simultaneously covers two important aspects: the non-imposition of, a priori, a functional form and the use of cross-section data including demographic and socioeconomic variables. The main results show that meat and fish consumption patterns by age, level of income and level of education are relatively different as regards to the economic factors (food expenditure and price). The changes in demographic and economic characteristics are influencing the changes in meat and fish demand.

description: Topological photonics has emerged recently as a novel approach for realizing robust optical circuitry, and the study of nonlinear effects in topological photonics is expected to open the door for tunability of photonic structures with topological properties. Here, we study the topological edge states and topological gap solitons which reside in the same bandgaps described by the nonlinear Dirac model, in both one- and two-dimensions. We reveal strong nonlinear interaction between those dissimilar topological modes manifested in the excitation of the topological edge states by scattered gap solitons. Nonlinear tunability of localized states is explicated with exact analytical solutions for the two-component spinor wave function. Our studies are complemented by spatiotemporal numerical modeling of the wave transport in one- and two-dimensional topological systems.

description: The purpose of this paper is to make a quantitative analysis of the rural domestic solid wastes discharge volume, structure and Determinants. The data comes from one large field survey in 6 provinces in China, The results show that, in 2010, the discharge volume of rural domestic solid wastes was 236 million tons. Policy factors and socio-economic conditions significantly influence the discharge volume of rural domestic solid waste. The implementation of certain policies can significantly reduce the discharge volume. The relationship between discharge volume and income per capita shows an obvious inverted U-shaped curve.

description: Hysteresis in the pressure-saturation relation in unsaturated porous media, which is due to surface tension on the liquid-gas interface, exhibits strong degeneracy in the resulting mass balance equation. Solutions to such degenerate equations have been recently constructed by the method of convexification even if the permeability coefficient depends on the hysteretic saturation. The model is extended here to the case that the solid matrix material is viscoelastic and that the system is coupled with a gravity driven moisture flux. The existence of a solution is proved by compact anisotropic embedding involving Orlicz spaces with respect to the time variable.

Heavy-light current correlators at order $α_s^2$ in QCD and HQET

description: The non-diagonal correlators of vector and scalar currents are considered at three-loop order in QCD. The full mass dependence is computed in the case where one of the quarks is massless and the other one carries mass $M$. We exploit the decoupling relations between the full theory and the heavy quark effective theory (HQET) in order to obtain the logarithmic parts of the leading threshold terms. With the help of conformal mapping and Padé approximation numerical estimates for the non-logarithmic terms are extracted which in turn lead to a prediction of the correlator in HQET at order $α_s^2$. As applications of the vector and scalar correlator we consider the single-top-quark production via the process $q\bar{q}\to t\bar{b}$ and the decay rate of a charged Higgs boson into hadrons, respectively. In both cases the computed NLO corrections are shown to be numerically much less important than the leading ones. On the contrary, the NLO order QCD corrections to the HQET sum rule for the leptonic decay rate of a heavy-light meson proves to be comparable to the leading one.

The Roman mother

Year: 1985
Subjects: subject: Mothers Rome
subject: Families Rome

description: It is the contention of this work that the defining characteristic of the Roman mother was not tenderness but authority. It will be argued, further, that this authority derived in part from the mother's power of financial disposition and the general social freedom of the Roman matron which enabled her to command respect in her own right both outside and within the family. The characteristic features of motherhood, as defined by Roman moralists and tombstone inscriptions, are not easily distinguishable from those of fathers. Indeed, it is unlikely that mothers saw more of children than fathers in their early years within the upper class, where child-rearing in its initial stages was assigned to social inferiors. The reciprocal duties and obligations of the relationship between mother and child were determined by the fact of the maternal relation, not by the particular role played by a mother in the early stages of a child's life, and her authority lasted until her death. The great difference between the position of mother and father was that that of the father was supported by the institution of patria potestas. Although in practice fathers seldom employed the full range of powers legally available to them, the possibility existed. A mother's power did not have the same firm basis. Adult children were expected to be respectful and submissive to both parents, but there could be areas where a mother's interference might be resented, particularly by an adult son and if she were not sensitive to his reaction conflict could be serious. In general, though, relations between the generations appear to have been harmonious, with both sides observing the conventions. The mother's authoritative position eventually achieved some acknowledgement at law but was, in the last analysis, socially defined and therefore not to be equated with that of the paterfamilias.
Inclusive D* Production in Two-Photon Collisions at LEP

description: Inclusive D^{*+-} production in two-photon collisions is studied with the L3 detector at LEP, using 683 pb^{-1} of data collected at centre-of-mass energies from 183 to 208 GeV. Differential cross sections are determined as functions of the transverse momentum and pseudorapidity of the D^{*+-} mesons in the kinematic region 1 GeV < P_T < 12 GeV and |eta| < 1.4. The cross sections sigma(e^+e^- -> e^+e^-D^{*+-}X) in this kinematical region is measured and the sigma(e^+e^- -> e^+e^- cc{bar}X) cross section is derived. The measurements are compared with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations.
The Dialogues
Creators: name: Marston, Joshua
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

At its core, “The Dialogues” is a collection of memories about my past relationships with many people. Instead of traditional plot, something closer to argumentative logic drives the poems. I like this idea of argumentation because it’s more open-ended and makes the reflective moments take on a present-tense voice about the Yankee Candle-esque fragments of the past. I sometimes think of how the poems present memory and nostalgia as a four stage process: There’s the experience as it transpires, the attentional filter that determines what gets remembered, the later nostalgia, and the act of questioning or refusing to question nostalgia’s credibility. A little four act play of Nostalgia v.s. Why Feel Nostalgic? That’s the theory about the book’s tension at least, but the question’s never directly asked and I think rarely answered, serving only as a lead into speculation about what larger effect the collection delivers as a whole. While some of the poems stand alone as reflective and nostalgic moments, others get meaning mostly by proximity.
Collective modes in Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superconductors: The role of long-range Coulomb interaction and signatures in density response

description: We theoretically investigate collective excitations in the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) states of Pauli-limited superconducting films. When the long-range Coulomb interaction is absent, excitation spectra consist of two gapless and three gapped modes. The gapless modes are the Nambu-Goldstone modes associated with the spontaneous breaking of the ${\rm U}(1)$ symmetry and the translational symmetry. The gapped modes include the Higgs mode and the twofold degenerate modes that cause the oscillation of the domain width and grayness of FFLO nodal planes. We find that the long-range Coulomb interaction only gaps out the gapless phase mode through the Anderson-Higgs mechanism, while the other modes remain unaffected. Furthermore, the field evolution of the dispersion of the gapless elastic mode, the Nambu-Goldstone mode associated with the translational symmetry breaking, is associated with that of the bandwidth of the mid-gap Andreev bound states. We demonstrate that the signature of the elastic mode can be detected by measuring the density-density response function.

Resummed B -> X_u l nu Decay Distributions to Next-to-Leading Order

description: We perform factorization of the most general distribution in semileptonic B -> X_u decays and we resum the threshold logarithms to next-to-leading order. From this (triple-differential) distribution, any other distribution is obtained by integration. As an application of our method, we derive simple analytical expressions for a few distributions, resummed to leading approximation. It is shown that the shape function can be directly determined by measuring the distribution in m_X^2/E_X^2, not in m_X^2/m_B^2. We compute the resummed hadron energy spectrum, which has a ``Sudakov shoulder'', and we show how the distribution in the singular region is related to the shape function. We also present an improved formula for the photon spectrum in B->X_s gamma which includes soft-gluon resummation and non-leading operators in the effective hamiltonian. We explicitly show that the same non-perturbative function - namely the shape function - controls the non-perturbative effects in all the distributions in the semi-leptonic and in the rare decay.

We show that, as a general consequence, the eta-nucleus potential has a repulsive core at the nuclear center with an attractive part at the nuclear surface, if sufficient reduction of the mass difference of N and N* stems from the in-medium effects to N*. The (d,3He) spectra are evaluated for the formation of these bound states to investigate the experimental feasibility.

description: This paper studies the statistical nature of TV channels streaming variable bit rate distribution and allocation. The goal of the paper is to derive the best-fit rate distribution to describe TV streaming bandwidth allocation, which can reveal traffic demands of users. Our analysis uses multiplexers channel bandwidth allocation (PID) data of 13 TV live channels. We apply 17 continuous and 3 discrete distributions to determine the best-fit distribution function for each individual channel and for the whole set of channels. We found that the generalized extreme distribution fitting most of our channels most precisely according to the Bayesian information criterion. By the same criterion tlocationscale distribution matches best for the whole system. We use these results to propose parameters for streaming server queuing model. Results are useful for streaming servers scheduling policy design process targeting to improve limited infrastructural resources, traffic engineering through dynamic routing at CDN, SDN.
Against every human law : the terrorist threat to diplomacy

Subjects: subject: Terrorism
subject: Diplomacy

description: Over the past fifteen years, terrorism has become a subject for academic debate in much the same way that guerrilla warfare was popular with scholars in the 1950s and 1960s. A great many books and articles have been written on terrorism since the problem assumed renewed importance around 1968. Some of these studies have approached the subject from an historical perspective. Others have concentrated on the challenges posed to liberal states or have looked at the possible state sponsorship of terrorist groups. While most of these works mention the specific problem of terrorist attacks on diplomats and diplomatic facilities as part of their overall treatment of the subject, few examine it in any detail. Even those recent studies which concentrate on international terrorism tend to treat the terrorist threat to diplomats only in passing.

description: Human behaviours alter—and are altered by—climate. Might the impacts of warming on human behaviours amplify anthropogenic contributions to climate change? Here, we show that warmer temperatures substantially increase transportation use in the USA. To do so, we combine meteorological data with data on vehicle miles travelled (VMT) and public transit trips (PTT) between 2002 and 2018. Moving from freezing temperatures up to 30°C increases VMT by over 10% and amplifies use of public transit by nearly 15%. Temperatures beyond 30°C exert little influence on either outcome. We then examine climate model projections to highlight the possible transportation impacts of future climatic changes. We project that warming over the coming century may add over one trillion cumulative vehicle miles travelled and six billion PTT in the US alone, presenting the risk of a novel feedback loop in the human-environmental system.

description: The exact solution of a diffusion$-$reaction model for the trapping and annihilation of positrons in small extended spherical defects (clusters, voids, small precipitates) with competitive rate-limited trapping in vacancy-type point defects is presented. Closed-form expressions are obtained for the mean positron lifetime and for the intensities of the two positron lifetime components associated with trapping at defects. The exact solutions can be conveniently applied for the analysis of experimental data and allow an assessment in how far the usual approach, which takes diffusion limitation into account by means of effective diffusion-trapping rates, is appropriate. The model is further extended for application to larger precipitates where diffusion- and reaction limited trapping is not only considered for the trapping from the matrix into the precipitate$-$matrix interface but also for the trapping from inside the precipitates into the interfaces. This makes the model applicable to all type of composite structures where spherical objects are embedded in a matrix irrespective of their size and their number density.

erica monteiro’s collection, (evol)ution is love spelled backwards, is book of poetry created to give readers a glimpse into the personal politics of a woman of color coming into her own. The selected pieces are written as a journey through the writer’s heart. monteiro creates a mosaic through lyrical prose that is both tangible and illusive. Some of her pieces speak to current contemporary issues as in the poem “goodnight obama”, and others deal strictly with matters of love, as in “the last hurrah”. Each poem is flavored by its own unique brand of language reminiscent of twentieth century urban lyricism. monteiro’s “text speak” and new derivations on old words allow her to style shift between poetic lines, making for a creative blend of both academic and pedestrian imagery and symbolism. (evol)ution is love spelled backwards, is a mix of monteiro’s different voices, balanced to give her readers a unique perspective of her verses.

Our measured g2 approximately follows the twist-2 Wandzura-Wilczek calculation. The twist-3 reduced matrix elements d2p and d2n are less than two standard deviations from zero. The data are inconsistent with the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule if there is no pathological behavior as x->0. The Efremov-Leader-Teryaev integral is consistent with zero within our measured kinematic range. The absolute value of A2 is significantly smaller than the sqrt[R(1+A1)/2] limit.

description: We study neutrino oscillations and the level-crossing probability $P_{LZ}=\exp(-γ_n\F_nπ/2)$ in power-law like potential profiles $A(r)\propto r^n$. After showing that the resonance point coincides only for a linear profile with the point of maximal violation of adiabaticity, we point out that the ``adiabaticity'' parameter $γ_n$ can be calculated at an arbitrary point if the correction function $\F_n$ is rescaled appropriately. We present a new representation for the level-crossing probability, $P_{LZ}=\exp(-κ_n\G_n)$, which allows a simple numerical evaluation of $P_{LZ}$ in both the resonant and non-resonant cases and where $\G_n$ contains the full dependence of $P_{LZ}$ on the mixing angle $θ$. As an application we consider the case $n=-3$ important for oscillations of supernova neutrinos.

description: We present a graph-based semi-supervised learning (SSL) method for learning edge flows defined on a graph. Specifically, given flow measurements on a subset of edges, we want to predict the flows on the remaining edges. To this end, we develop a computational framework that imposes certain constraints on the overall flows, such as (approximate) flow conservation. These constraints render our approach different from classical graph-based SSL for vertex labels, which posits that tightly connected nodes share similar labels and leverages the graph structure accordingly to extrapolate from a few vertex labels to the unlabeled vertices. We derive bounds for our method's reconstruction error and demonstrate its strong performance on synthetic and real-world flow networks from transportation, physical infrastructure, and the Web. Furthermore, we provide two active learning algorithms for selecting informative edges on which to measure flow, which has applications for optimal sensor deployment. The first strategy selects edges to minimize the reconstruction error bound and works well on flows that are approximately divergence-free. The second approach clusters the graph and selects bottleneck edges that cross cluster-boundaries, which works well on flows with global trends.

Results show that many of the determinants highlighted in the theoretical literature, such as the country trade position, the potential gains from GMO adoption, and the consumer risk aversion, are important determinants of the restrictiveness in GMO regulations. As a key result there emerges a prominent role for the market of information, showing that the structure of domestic mass media (public vs. private) is an important driver of GMO standards.

description: Haploniscus Richardson, 1908
 Type species: Haploniscus bicuspis (Sars, 1877).
 Diagnosis. Haploniscidae with pereonites 5–7 and pleotelson showing different patterns of fusion, posterior pereonites never free. Third peduncular article usually (but not always) with a prominent dorsal spine. Pereonite 7 normal, not reduced. Pleotelson with posterolateral processes short or produced.
 Remarks. Lincoln (1985a, 1985b) treated several species of Chandraniscus (with free posterior pereonites) as species of Haploniscus. The latter genus is redefined in this study to accommodate only those species that have fused posterior pereonites. It is also important to point out that pereon fusion often exhibits sexual dimorphism, as originally discovered by Sars (1877). In the type species, Haploniscus bicuspis, females show fusion only between pereonite 7 and the pleotelson while in males all three posterior pereonites are fused with the pleotelson. Possibly males have a different locomotory adaptation for mating behaviour but this hypothesis can only be confirmed after observations on living specimens of this deep-sea species.

description: While quark-hadron duality is well-established experimentally, the current theoretical understanding of this important phenomenon is quite limited. To expose the essential features of the dynamics behind duality, we use a simple model in which the hadronic spectrum is dominated by narrow resonances made of valence quarks. We qualitatively reproduce the features of duality as seen in electron scattering data within our model. We show that in order to observe duality, it is essential to use the appropriate scaling variable and scaling function. In addition to its great intrinsic interest in connecting the quark-gluon and hadronic pictures, an understanding of quark-hadron duality could lead to important benefits in extending the applicability of scaling into previously inaccessible regions.

description: The observation of a superconducting phase, an intertwined insulating phase, and a continuous transition between the two at a commensurate filling of $ν=1$ in bilayers of twisted WSe$_2$ at $θ=3.65^0$ raises a number of intriguing questions about the origin of this phenomenology. Here we report the possibility of a displacement-field induced continuous transition between a superconductor and a quantum spin-liquid Mott insulator at $ν=1$, starting with a simplified three-orbital model of twisted WSe$_2$, including on-site, nearest-neighbor density-density interactions, and a chiral-exchange interaction, respectively. By employing parton mean-field theory, we discuss the nature of these correlated insulators, their expected evolution with the displacement-field, and their phenomenological properties.

description: This paper develops a general equilibrium framework to determine the optimal set of internalizing policies under multifunctionality and relates these policies to trade. When agriculture generates both amenity benefits and pollution, a welfare maximum can be achieved through a combination of a subsidy on agricultural land and a tax on polluting inputs, but the levels of these policies must be selected jointly. To illustrate this interaction, a set of stylized policy simulations of the aggregate U.S. agricultural sector is performed. The estimated optimal subsidy on farmland exceeds its social amenity value by approximately 50%. If opened to international trade, small economies have no incentive to distort environmental policies away from their internalizing levels, but large economies will manipulate domestic policies in order to exploit terms of trade. As a large agricultural exporter, the U.S. could manipulate its environmental policy set to increase world agricultural prices by an estimated 9% over a base case of no environmental policy.
Population growth and housing needs of urban areas in Peninsular Malaysia
Creators: name: Hashim, Ahmad Fuad
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1985

description: This study is concerned with the implications of population growth for housing needs in urban areas of Peninsular Malaysia from 1980 to 2010. The demographic trends and household structure of the main ethnic groups in the urban area are analysed as a basis for making projections of the urban population and the number of urban households. These projections, along with information on overcrowded, sub-standard, and dilapidated housing are then used for making estimates of housing needs. By the the year 2010, the urban population is projected to be between 12.7 million and 14.4 million. These projections imply that a total of between 1,938,700 and 2,121,700 new housing units will be required in that period. In the first decade of the period, an average of 43,800 to 44,800 new units need to be constructed annually, and this figure increases to an average of 88,100 to 101,200 new units annually in the last decade. Data on recent housing construction indicate that there may be annual shortfalls of 20,000 units between 1980 and 1990. Unless further measures are taken to meet the needs for housing, there will be subsequent increases in the housing shortage until at least 2010.

description: We re-examine the notion of consumer rationality in transition economies by modifying the conventional non-parametric tests of the axioms of revealed preference. To reflect the unique characteristics of transition economies, shortages are allowed in the state market, while not in the private market. Because of the way the modified tests are constructed, data for prices in both the state and private markets are needed, as are data on purchases from state markets. Through some convenient algebraic substitutions, the tests do not require data on actual quantities purchased in the private markets. This feature of the modified tests is especially important, given the near impossibility of gaining access to data on sales or purchases from private markets in transition economies. Using limited aggregate consumption data for four important food items in five cities of the former Soviet Union, we clearly demonstrate that conventional nonparametric tests can lead to an erroneous rejection of the rationality hypothesis of consumer behavior for economies in transition.
The Assembly of the Virgo Cluster, Traced by its Galaxy Halos

description: Kinematic studies have produced accurate measurements of the total dark matter mass and mean dark matter density within the optical extent of galaxies, for large samples of objects. Here we consider theoretical predictions for the latter quantity, $\barρ_{dm}$, measured within the isophotal radius $R_{23.5}$, for isolated halos with universal density profiles. Through a combination of empirical scaling relations, we show that $\barρ_{dm}$ is expected to depend weakly on halo mass and strongly on redshift. When galaxy halos fall into larger groups or clusters they become tidally stripped, reducing their total dark matter mass, but this process is expected to preserve central density until an object is close to disruption. We confirm this with collisonless simulations of cluster formation, finding that subhalos have values of $\barρ_{dm}$ close to the analytic predictions. This suggests that $\barρ_{dm}$ may be a useful indicator of infall redshift onto the cluster. We test this hypothesis with data from the SHIVir survey, which covers a reasonable fraction of the Virgo cluster. We find that galaxies with high $\barρ_{dm}$ do indeed trace the densest regions of the cluster, with a few notable exceptions. Samples selected by environment have higher densities at a significance of 3.5-4$σ$, while samples selected by density are more clustered at 3-3.5$σ$ significance. We conclude that halo density can be a powerful tracer of the assembly history of clusters and their member galaxies.

Tree of Knowledge

It is psychologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and philosophers who most often attempt the formal study of consciousness: it is writers who observe the impossibility of any such study. In the spirit of Joseph O'Neill, Muriel Spark, and J.K. Rowling, with reference to cross-disciplinary thinkers like Donella Meadows, Douglas Hofstadter, and Rudy Rucker, Tree of Knowledge concerns itself with the mystery of mystery and the knowledge of knowledge. This collection of short stories bespeaks the human observer's paradoxical situation in all its the diverse implications, including moral confusion, tragedy, and violence, but also comedy, beauty, and the possibility of transcendence.

In this manuscript, the speaker’s engagement with the father-lover-God figure forces a confrontation with larger existential questions. There is tension between the material and the non-material, between observation and intuition (what is knowledge?), and between seeking and being. The mind/thought walks the line between tangible and intangible, so thought—language, our definitions—is a central theme in Thorn. The mind can build its own reality, meaning it is either fragile or powerful. Everything to which we seem to have access is a construct and therefore everything is ultimately meaningless—now what?

description: Haploniscus kensleyi n. sp.
(figure 8)
 Diagnosis. Haploniscus with body broader posteriorly between pereonites 5 and 7. Cephalon with a median projection, about as long as the anterior two pereonites combined. Pereonite 7 in female fused with the shield-like pleotelson. Antenna 1 with flagellum of five articles.
 Material examined. Holotype: female, length 2.1 mm, maximum width 0.9 mm. USNM Cat No. 138673.
 Type locality. R / V Eastward Sta. 7786, site Alpha-B over the Carolina upper slope.
 Etymology. This new species is named in honour of isopodologist Dr Bryan Kensley of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC.
 Description of female. Body broader at pereonites 5 and 6, narrower anteriorly and posteriorly. Cephalon with rounded lateral and anterior margin, with a conspicuous median projection. Pereonites 1–3 subequal, pereonite 4 longer. Lateral suture well-developed between pereonites 4 and 5. Pereonite 5 the longest, and pereonite 6 the shortest of all pereonites. Pereonite 7 fused with pleotelson. Pleotelson shield-like, with posterolateral angles produced beyond the rounded apex.
Antenna 1 with peduncle of two articles, basal article globular and partly concealed by cephalon. Flagellum of antenna 1 composed of five articles. Mandible with a long, stout and truncated molar process; a row of three serrated and two long movable middle spines, incisor process narrow and trifid. Maxilliped with three coupling hooks on the endite and palp composed of five narrow articles, basal and terminal articles of similar width.
Depth is the minimum depth of occurrence; distribution is the general zoogeographic area of distribution.
*Eurybathyal species.
 Remarks. This new species is one of the few deep-sea species of the genus Haploniscus from the north-west Atlantic; other north-west Atlantic species include H. curvirostris Vanhoffen, 1914 (also known from the Antarctic and south Atlantic deep sea), Haploniscus retrospinis Richardson, 1908 from 713 m off New England and Haploniscus spinifer Hansen, 1916 collected during the Danish Ingolf expedition, from Davis Strait. This species is somewhat similar to H. curvirostris, with posterolateral angles of pleotelson projecting beyond the apex, and in having the basal article of antenna 1 concealed by the cephalon, as shown in figure 9B. However, the shape of the pleotelson, fused pereonite 7 thus forming a shield, and the enlarged fourth pereonite are features that clearly distinguish H. kensleyi from H. curvirostris.
