description: Anopheles (Anopheles) bancroftii Giles
subspecies bancroftii Giles, 1902 —original combination: Anopheles bancroftii. Distribution: Australia, Papua New Guinea, including the Admiralty Islands in the Bismarck Archipelago (Lee et al. 1987).
subspecies barbiventris Brug, 1938 —original combination: Anopheles bancrofti [sic] var. barbiventris (subspecific status by Harbach & Howard 2007). Distribution: Indonesia, Sulawesi (Lee et al. 1987).
Giles (1902) described Anopheles bancroftii, a widely distributed species in Australia (Lee et al. 1987), based on specimens from Burpengary, Queensland. Misidentification of An. pseudobarbirostris Ludlow, 1902 as An. bancroftii has resulted in erroneous listings of bancroftii in the Philippines, Sulawesi (Celebes) and Sri Lanka (Lee et al. 1987).
Subspecies barbiventris was described from specimens collected in Kalawara, Palou, Gumbasa, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia (Gazetteer: GoeNames; Kalawara; populated place; coordinates: -1.1808, 119.9385; D. Pecor pers. comm.). In the description, it was compared to An. bancrofti [sic] var. pseudobarbirostris (now a separate species), An. tessellatus Theobald, 1901a and An. vagus D̂nitz, 1902. Foote & Cook (1959) listed barbiventris as being from “Australasia”, which includes many countries, but it’s only known occurrence is in Sulawesi (Celebes). Harbach & Howard (2007) recognized barbiventris as a subspecies of An. bancroftii per Article 45.6.4 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and suggested that it was probably a distinct species. Reid (1962), commenting on the bancroftii group, noted discrepancies in existing descriptions: “ A. bancroftii var. barbiventris from Celebes seems to merit specific rank; in addition to the striking tufts of black and white scales on the abdominal sternites [sterna], the large leaflets on the phallosome [aedeagus] appear to be longer than those of bancroftii and pseudobarbirostris and have fine teeth [serration]; doubtless there are other differences.” Herein, in addition to evidence of allopatry, we agree with Reid (1962) and Harbach & Howard (2007) that barbiventris should be afforded species status: Anopheles (Anopheles) barbiventris Brug, 1938. Anopheles barbiventris is currently listed as a species in the Encyclopedia of Life.
Note. A species complex is suggested by a molecular and morphological study (Beebe et al. 2002; Beebe et al. 2013) demonstrating the probability of four bancroftii -related sibling species in northern Australia and Papua New Guinea.

Initial estimation of cost and capacity analysis for the representative energy grids as function of the decarbonised energy scenarios

description: Deploying low-carbon technologies (LCTs) in buildings, such as photovoltaic (PV) systems and heat pumps (HPs), is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Nevertheless, the integration of these LCTs strongly influences the stability of the electricity distribution grids, which thus often require to be reinforced.
 In this deliverable, we propose a methodology for the quantification of EU low-voltage (LV) grid reinforcement costs following LCT integration. This methodology uses urbanisation data to determine the share of dwellings in urban and rural areas in EU countries. It is also based on a model that evaluates the grid reinforcement cost as a function of the LCT integration scenario for representative
 rural and urban grids. This model is composed of three sub-models, namely the dwelling, grid and economic models. In addition to presenting each of the developed sub-models, we identified their key parameters. We also collected data from 24 open access grids (i.e. grids of which the specifications are freely accessible online) and 23 scientific articles and reports to determine the parameter values of the grid and economic models for EU countries.
 The dwelling model, based on occupant behaviour and building properties, produces realistic dwelling load and generation profiles depending on the integrated LCTs. The grid model, based on unbalanced power flow simulations, evaluates the influence of the dwellings’ load/generation profiles and of the reinforcement options on the grid stability. Using the data from open access grids and scientific articles and reports, we were able to define six sets of grid parameter values. These sets represent rural and urban grids of Belgium, Germany and the EU in general. The EU sets can be used for the remaining EU countries, for which sufficient data could not be retrieved. The economic model computes the lifecycle cost associated to a grid reinforcement option. It includes both investment and operating costs of the LV grid. The literature review was used to define one set of economic parameter values that is
 common to all EU countries.
 In the last part of the deliverable, we provide an example application that illustrates the methodology by computing the grid reinforcement costs from LCT integration in Belgium.

title: The dynamic stiffness of an air-spring
Creators: name: Pelz, Peter F.
name: Buttenbender, Johannes
Publisher: name: Katholieke Univ. Leuven, Dep. Werktuigkunde
Year: 2022

description: The measurement of the dynamic stiffness of an air spring identifies a behaviour which up until now is not fully understood. Depending on whether the compression is isothermal or adiabatic the dynamic stiffness differs by a factor of 1.4 for a perfect diatomic gas. The frequency band in which the stiffness increase takes place is determined by the heat conduction from the compressed air to the air-spring wall. Since the heat transport is diffusive, the change of stiffness happens to be in a surprisingly low frequency band, ranging between 0.001 Hz and 0.1 Hz for a typical vehicle air spring. To understand this dynamic behaviour in detail, i.e. to find the temperature distribution within the spring, the energy equation must be solved using the momentum and mass balance simultaneously. This is done in an analytic manner by considering only small disturbances from the initial pressure, temperature, and density, when the air is at rest. The results show that an oscillating temperature boundary layer is formed in which the heat conduction takes places. With increasing dimensionless frequency, i.e. Peclet number, the boundary-layer thickness decreases and the stiffness approaches its adiabatic value. In theory there is no need to use a heat transfer coefficient. Furthermore the theory serves as a way to determine the heat transfer coefficient. The dimensionless transfer coefficient, i.e. the Nusselt number, is useful when only the average temperature and pressure are of interest. This is usually the case when the air spring is considered as a connecting part between different masses in a dynamic system. It is found that the Nusselt number for the heat conduction inside the air spring is a constant ( 0.3≈Nu ).

description: Profound changes in gender roles have taken place over the past several decades in the United States. Women’s roles have changed most: women are marrying later in life and at lower rates, having fewer children, and working more outside of the household. “Career women” are the new normal and housewifery has gone out of fashion. At the same time, women have become less happy. We use the US General Social Surveys from 1972 to 2014 to explore these latest trends. We find that, until recently, women are happier to be housewives or to work part-time than full-time, especially, women who are older, married, with children, in middle or upper class, and living in suburbs or smaller places. The effect size of housewifery on subjective wellbeing (SWB) is mild to moderate, at about a fourth to a third of the effect of being unemployed. Therefore, we argue that one possible reason for the decline in average happiness for women was increased labor force participation. Yet, the happiness advantage of housewifery is declining among younger cohorts and career women may become happier than housewives in the future.

description: In this paper, we propose GreenSlot, a parallel batch job scheduler for a datacenter powered by a photovoltaic solar array and the electrical grid (as a backup). GreenSlot predicts the amount of solar energy that will be available in the near future, and schedules the workload to maximize the green energy consumption while meeting the jobs’ deadlines. If brown energy must be used to avoid deadline violations, the scheduler selects times when brown electricity is cheap. Our results for production scientific workloads demonstrate that GreenSlot can increase green energy consumption by up to 117% and decrease energy cost by up to 39%, compared to EASY backfilling. Based on these positive results, we conclude that green datacenters and green-energy-aware scheduling can have a significant role in building a more sustainable IT ecosystem.

And it depends on everyone’s efforts to keep the number of sick people as low as possible. The fewer sick people there are at any given time, the better our health system can care for us. Southern New Jersey’s health systems serve people of all ages from rural to urban areas. Effective response to the spread of COVID-19 is contingent on many factors within our counties (Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Ocean, Salem).

Representations and modeling in problems of program formation
Creators: name: Amarel, Saul
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1970

description: We are considering a class of problems of formation type where the goal is to construct by computer a program-in a given programming language - that satisfies an infinite number of conditions in -the form of given input-output correspondences. A variety of automatic design problems, as well as problems of theory construction in empirical sciences are of this general type. The main problem in the design of procedures for the solution of formation problems are: selection of an "appropriate" grammar for specifying -the language in which candidate solutions are to be represented; formulation of evaluation procedures for ordering candidate solutions; and formulating of control strategies for generating "intelligently" a sequence of candidate solutions which converges efficiently to the desired solution. The problems of representation, evaluation and control are closely coupled; However, dominant among them is the problem of representation. A promising approach to the choice of a grammar for the solution language is to find a model corresponding to the grammar where it is relatively easy to evaluate the relative merit of candidate solutions (in terms of their satisfying the given problem conditions) by analyzing their representations in the model. In our program formation problem we have found such a model in the form of a mathematical system which is a modified algebra of relations. The atomic elements of the system correspond to elementary commands in the given programming language and its operations correspond to program composites. The rich structure of relationships in the mathematical model provides a framework for reasoning about the choice of candidate solutions during, the problem solving process. In view of our work to date, it appears that representation systems with considerable algebraic structure are necessary for computer formation procedures of reasonable power.
title: Comparison of Measurements on Axial Fans and Performance Prediction Using Common Scale-Up Methods at Part- and Overload
Creators: name: Hess, Michael

Publisher: name: ASME
Year: 2022

description: There is a need to reliably predict the performance (efficiency and total pressure rise) of axial fans from model tests not only at the design point but also at part- and overload. The commonly used scale-up formulae give satisfactorily results only near the design point where inertia losses are small in comparison with frictional losses. At part- and overload the inertia losses are dominant and the scale-up formulae so far used fail. This is shown by applying several common scale-up methods in comparison to measured values of two axial model fans with a diameter of 1000 mm respectively 250 mm at different rotational speeds, hence Reynolds-numbers. In addition efficiency split-up for axial fans is shown and compared to former measurements on pumps.

subspecies guatemalensis de León, 1938 —original combination: Anopheles (Anopheles) chiriquiensis var. guatemalensis (subspecific status by Wilkerson 1990). Distribution: Guatemala (Wilkerson 1990).
subspecies parapunctipennis Martini, 1932 —original combination: Anopheles parapunctipennis. Distribution: Guatemala, Mexico (Wilkerson 1990).
The nominotypical subspecies belongs to the Pseudopunctipennis Group (Reid & Knight 1961). Most members of the group are large, high elevation species which share a number of distinctive morphological characters (see the treatment of An. pseudopunctipennis Theobald below). Wilkerson (1990) established that a synonym of An. parapunctipennis, i.e. Anopheles (Anopheles) chiriquiensis Komp, 1936, was a valid species. However, he left guatemalensis as a subspecies of parapunctipennis and stated that a single character in the female (but not the male) separated it from the nominotypical species: Vein R 1 dark at the subcostal pale spot, pale in parapunctipennis. The type locality of the nominotypical subspecies is San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas Mexico (coordinates: 16.73176, -92.64126) and the type locality of subspecies guatemalensis is Cumbre del Aire, Department of Totonicapán, Guatemala (coordinates: 15.11667, -91.56667). The two localities are only 213 km apart in the same mountain range (coordinates and distance: D. Pecor pers. comm.). Given there is insufficient morphological indication that these nominal forms are genetically distinct, and that the type localities are geographically close enough to assume sympatry, we hereby recognize guatemalensis as a synonymous name: guatemalensis de León, 1938, junior subjective synonym of Anopheles (Anopheles) parapunctipennis Martini, 1932. The nominal guatemalensis, which is listed as a species in the Encyclopedia of Life, must be removed from the list of valid species of Anopheles.

description: Background Cardiovascular death is a common outcome in population-based studies about new healthcare interventions or treatments, such as new prescription medications. Vital statistics registration systems are often the preferred source of information about cause-specific mortality because they capture verified information about the deceased, but they may not always be accessible for linkage with other sources of population-based data. We assessed the validity of an algorithm applied to administrative health records for identifying cardiovascular deaths in population-based data. Methods Administrative health records were from an existing multi-database cohort study about sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, a new class of antidiabetic medications. Data were from 2013 to 2018 for five Canadian provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec) and the United Kingdom (UK) Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). The cardiovascular mortality algorithm was based on in-hospital cardiovascular deaths identified from diagnosis codes and select out-of-hospital deaths. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values (PPV, NPV) were calculated for the cardiovascular mortality algorithm using vital statistics registrations as the reference standard. Overall and stratified estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed; the latter were produced by site, location of death, sex, and age. Results The cohort included 20,607 individuals (58.3% male; 77.2% ≥70 years). When compared to vital statistics registrations, the cardiovascular mortality algorithm had overall sensitivity of 64.8% (95% CI 63.6, 66.0); site-specific estimates ranged from 54.8 to 87.3%. Overall specificity was 74.9% (95% CI 74.1, 75.6) and overall PPV was 54.5% (95% CI 53.7, 55.3), while site-specific PPV ranged from 33.9 to 72.8%. The cardiovascular mortality algorithm had sensitivity of 57.1% (95% CI 55.4, 58.8) for in-hospital deaths and 72.3% (95% CI 70.8, 73.9) for out-of-hospital deaths; specificity was 88.8% (95% CI 88.1, 89.5) for in-hospital deaths and 58.5% (95% CI 57.3, 59.7) for out-of-hospital deaths. Conclusions A cardiovascular mortality algorithm applied to administrative health records had moderate validity when compared to vital statistics data. Substantial variation existed across study sites representing different geographic locations and two healthcare systems. These variations may reflect different diagnostic coding practices and healthcare utilization patterns.

description: We compute the Wassertein-1 (or Kolmogorov-Rubinstein) distance between a random walk in $R^d$ and the Brownian motion. The proof is based on a new estimate of the Lipschitz modulus of the solution of the Stein's equation. As an application, we can evaluate the rate of convergence towards the local time at 0 of the Brownian motion.
title: Modeling the Efficiency of External Gear Pumps Based on Similarity Considerations
Creators: name: Schänzle, Christian

description: Gear pumps are used in numerous different applications and industrial sectors. However, when selecting a suitable gear pump for a specified application, manufacturers are often confronted with a lack of comparable measurement data for the desired combination of operating conditions and pumping fluid. Consequently, an estimation of the volume flow rate and the power consumption of a pump under the operating conditions of the application is necessary. In this context, this paper discusses the application of similarity on external gear pumps and presents its validation by means of measured pump characteristics. Seven gear pumps of different displacement volume are measured at different operating conditions varying pressure, rotational speed and the viscosity of the pumping fluid. The validation results prove that similarity is useful to represent a pump’s characteristic over a wide operating range. The prediction of the volume flow rate and the power consumption at a changed viscosity show good accuracy. However, the scaling of the pump characteristic based on the displacement volume show contradictory results.

description: We present three versions of the Lax-Milgram theorem in the framework of Hilbert C*-modules, two for those over W*-algebras and one for those over C*-algebras of compact operators. It is remarkable that while the Riesz theorem is not valid for certain Hilbert C*-modules over C*-algebras of compact operators, our Lax-Milgram theorem turns out to be valid for all of them. We also give several examples to illustrate our results, in particular, we show that the main theorem is not true for Hilbert modules over arbitrary C*-algebras.

description: Anopheles pseudopunctipennis sensu stricto
The nominotypical species of the Pseudopunctipennis Complex was redescribed, illustrated (except for the egg) and a neotype designated using specimens from the type locality, Granada (Rueda et al. 2004). There are two publications of note that distinguish An. pseudopunctipennis sensu stricto from other members of the complex. Manguin et al. (1995), in an isoenzyme study, sampled across the entire range of An. pseudopunctipennis sensu lato, identified three groups/clusters: 1) Granada, 2) USA, Mexico and Guatemala, and 3) Argentina to Belize. They judged that the three groups represented a single species. We agree that their method did not provide the resolution needed to separate all of the species in this complex but we think their results clearly separate the populations at the type locality as a distinct species. In addition, crossing experiments between specimens from Mexico, the USA and Granada (Coetzee et al. 1999) produced non-viable offspring and extensive asynapsis of polytene chromosomes. Coetzee et al. treated their results as evidence of a species complex. We are confident that the results of these two studies, along with adequate distances for genetic isolation, are sufficient to distinguish An. pseudopunctipennis sensu stricto from all other taxa discussed below. The distribution of An. pseudopunctipennis sensu stricto is not clear. It was reported by van der Kuyp (1953) from Curaçao, Margarita [now Venezuelan territory] and Aruba. Shannon et al. (1927) wrote that Puerto España, Trinidad was probably the eastern-most limit of this species. There are extensive records for An. pseudopunctipennis in Venezuela (Gabaldon & Cova-Garcia 1946; Sutil O. 1980). We assume these are conspecific with the Granada population, but this has not been verified. The occurrence of An. pseudopunctipennis sensu stricto in adjoining Colombia should also be considered. Taking into account the evidence/inferences of the validity and distributions of other related species in the complex summarized below, we think the distribution of An. pseudopunctipennis sensu stricto should be changed from the currently listed countries that represent all the species in the complex, found in many publications, to that shown above.

description: We investigate the Schrödinger operators $H_\varepsilon=-Δ+W+V_\varepsilon$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with the short-range potentials $V_\varepsilon$ which are localized around a smooth closed curve $γ$. The operators $H_\varepsilon$ can be viewed as an approximation of the heuristic Hamiltonian $H=-Δ+W+a\partial_νδ_γ+bδ_γ$, where $δ_γ$ is Dirac's $δ$-function supported on $γ$ and $\partial_νδ_γ$ is its normal derivative on $γ$. Assuming that the operator $-Δ+W$ has only discrete spectrum, we analyze the asymptotic behaviour of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of $H_\varepsilon$. The transmission conditions on $γ$ for the eigenfunctions $u^+=αu^-$, $α\, \partial_νu^+-\partial_νu^-=βu^-$, which arise in the limit as $\varepsilon\to 0$, reveal a nontrivial connection between spectral properties of $H_\varepsilon$ and the geometry of $γ$.
