description: Bus transit plays a vital role in urban public transportation but often struggles to provide accurate and reliable departure times. This leads to delays, passenger dissatisfaction, and decreased ridership, particularly in transit-dependent areas. A major challenge lies in the discrepancy between actual and scheduled bus departure times, which disrupts timetables and impacts overall operational efficiency. To address these challenges, this paper presents a neural network-based approach for real-time bus departure time prediction tailored for smart IoT public transit applications. We leverage AI-driven models to enhance the accuracy of bus schedules by preprocessing data, engineering relevant features, and implementing a fully connected neural network that utilizes historical departure data to predict departure times at subsequent stops. In our case study analyzing bus data from Boston, we observed an average deviation of nearly 4 minutes from scheduled times. However, our model, evaluated across 151 bus routes, demonstrates a significant improvement, predicting departure time deviations with an accuracy of under 80 seconds. This advancement not only improves the reliability of bus transit schedules but also plays a crucial role in enabling smart bus systems and IoT applications within public transit networks. By providing more accurate real-time predictions, our approach can facilitate the integration of IoT devices, such as smart bus stops and passenger information systems, that rely on precise data for optimal performance.

description: We derive the non-linear semiclassical equation of motion for a general diffeomorphism-invariant theory of gravity by leveraging the thermodynamic properties of closed causal horizons. Our work employs two complementary approaches. The first approach utilizes perturbative quantum gravity applied to a Rindler horizon. The result is then mapped to a stretched light cone, which can be understood as a union of Rindler planes. Here, we adopt the semiclassical physical process formulation, encapsulated by $\langle Q\rangle = T δS_{gen}$ where the heat-flux $\langle Q\rangle$ is related to the expectation value of stress-energy tensor $T_{ab}$ and $S_{gen}$ is the generalized entropy. The second approach introduces a "higher curvature" Raychaudhuri equation, where the vanishing of the quantum expansion \(Θ\) pointwise as required by restricted quantum focusing establishes an equilibrium condition, \(δS_{\text{gen}} = 0\), at the null boundary of a causal diamond. While previous studies have only derived the linearized semiclassical equation of motion for higher curvature gravity, our work resolves this limitation by providing a fully non-linear formulation without invoking holography.

description: Long-period radio transients are a new class of astrophysical objects that exhibit periodic radio emission on timescales of tens of minutes. Their true nature remains unknown; possibilities include magnetic white dwarfs, binary systems, or long-period magnetars; the latter class is predicted to produce fast radio bursts (FRBs). Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, we conducted follow-up observations of the long-period radio transient GPM J1839-10. Here we report that the source exhibits a wide range of unusual emission properties, including polarization characteristics indicative of magnetospheric origin, linear-to-circular polarization conversion, and drifting substructures closely resembling those observed in repeating FRBs. These radio characteristics provide evidence in support of the long-period magnetar model and suggest a possible connection between long-period radio transients, magnetars, and FRBs.

(type = Tachyphonus ruficeps Strickland, 1844, currently Pyrrhocoma ruficeps), and Hemispingus superciliaris Cabanis, 1851 (type = Arremon superciliaris Lafresnaye, 1840), into Thlypopsis Cabanis, 1851 (type = Nemosia fulvescens Strickland, 1844, a junior synonym of Nemosia sordida d’Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837, currently Thlypopsis sordida) (Fig. 3). For H. superciliaris, the name becomes Thlypopsis superciliaris; see below for a new name for Pyrrhocoma.
Comments. Hemispingus superciliaris and the sole species of Pyrrhocoma are embedded within a strongly supported clade (PP = 1.0, ML bootstrap = 80) containing all six species of Thlypopsis. The type species of each of these three genera are contained within this clade. Therefore, maintaining all three names would require naming several additional new genera. Instead, we recommend merging all the species in this clade into a single genus. All three genera were proposed simultaneously in the same publication. Because most of the species in this clade belong to Thlypopsis, we act as first revisers in selecting Thlypopsis Cabanis, 1851, to take precedence over Pyrrhocoma Cabanis, 1851, and Hemispingus Cabanis, 1851, as the name of this genus. When Pyrrhocoma is merged with Thlypopsis, Pyrrhocoma ruficeps Strickland, 1844, becomes a junior homonym of Thlypopsis ruficeps d’Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837. Therefore, we introduce the following replacement name for Pyrrhocoma ruficeps when it is included in the genus Thlypopsis:

description: Video conferencing meetings are more effective when they are inclusive, but inclusion often hinges on meeting leaders' and/or co-facilitators' practices. AI systems can be designed to improve meeting inclusion at scale by moderating negative meeting behaviors and supporting meeting leaders. We explored this design space by conducting $9$ user-centered ideation sessions, instantiating design insights in a prototype ``virtual co-host'' system, and testing the system in a formative exploratory lab study ($n=68$ across $12$ groups, $18$ interviews). We found that ideation session participants wanted AI agents to ask questions before intervening, which we formalized as the ``Observe, Ask, Intervene'' (OAI) framework. Participants who used our prototype preferred OAI over fully autonomous intervention, but rationalized away the virtual co-host's critical feedback. From these findings, we derive guidelines for designing AI agents to influence behavior and mediate group work. We also contribute methodological and design guidelines specific to mitigating inequitable meeting participation.

description: This poster shows the principles, methods and design of an operational Dashboard for the assessment of ecotoxicological hazards of data-poor substances. By entering the CAS-number, the Dashboard operates via Artificial-Intelligence-derived hazard data, trained on a large database. The available data on CAS-numbers and the tested species are analysed integrally, to yield a large set of predicted toxicity endpoints. These serve their goal, in early-stage assessment of hazard of untested species*chemical pairs.

Type. Pyrrhocoma ruficeps Strickland, 1844
Included taxa. Monotypic; includes only Pyrrhocoma ruficeps. No subspecies of this species are recognized.
Etymology. The name is formed from the Greek πύῤῥος, “flame-colored” or “red,” as applied to hair, and the Greek κόΜη, “hair of the head,” in allusion to the male’s rufous head. The name is to be construed as a noun in apposition. We intend adoption of the former generic name as the new specific epithet to communicate past taxonomic connections.

Rhyacopsyche colei

description: Rhyacopsyche colei, new species
Fig. 10
This species is most similar to R. matthiasi, sharing a midlateral process along the posterior margin of segment IX and the presence of thick, plumose setae on the inferior appendage. However, the midlateral process is articulated in R. matthiasi. Additionally, R. colei lacks the prominent, flaring tergum X of R. matthiasi. The transverse bar connecting the lobes of segment IX, and the shorter, truncate inferior appendage distinguishes R. colei from all other species of Rhyacopsyche.
Adult (male: n=10, female: n=10). Forewing length 2.7–3.0, 2.9 mm (male), 2.9–3.2, 3.1 mm (female). Color of head dark brown, antennae light brown, legs medium brown, wings mottled medium and dark brown. Sternum VII with apicomesal point.
Male genitalia. Abdominal segment IX heavily setose, bearing several plumose setae, anterior margin slightly rounded; sternum IX, in lateral view, with posterior margin produced into small rounded process; posterior margin produced into small, truncate lobe; dorsolateral lobe of segment IX elongate, in dorsal view rounded, deeply divided, widely separated, with thin dorsal bar lying in the transverse plane, without peglike setae. Tergum X completely retracted inside segment IX. Intermediate appendage produced into small slender plate lying mesad of inferior appendage, in ventral view, plate broadly truncate, bearing light pointed setae. Inferior appendage elongate, in lateral view, apex truncate, ventral margin bearing several thick, plumose setae. Phallus base inflated, thin membranous sheath surrounding the middle of the phallus; central tubule with rounded apex; lateral process not evident.
Holotype male: VENEZUELA: Lara: Parque Nacional Dinira, Quebrada Buenos Aires, 09°36’24”N, 070°04’11”W, 1850 m, 18–19.vi.2001, Holzenthal, Blahnik, Paprocki & Cressa (UMSP 00074070) (UMSP).

description: Rhyacopsyche colombiana, new species
Fig. 11
Rhyacopsyche colombiana most closely resembles R. peruviana in the form of the dorsolateral lobe and the absence of peglike setae. They are distinguished by the fusion of the dorsolateral lobes of R. peruviana, the lobes only closely meeting in R. colombiana. The phallus of this species is unique among Rhyacopsyche in that the apical half surrounded by a few long filaments.
Adult (male: n=2). Forewing length 2.8–3.0, 2.9 mm. Color of head dark brown, antennae light brown, legs medium brown, wings mottled light and dark brown. Sternum VII with apicomesal point.
Male genitalia. Abdominal segment IX sparsely setose, anterior margin angulate; sternum IX, in lateral view, with posterior margin produced into small rounded process; posterior margin nearly straight; dorsolateral lobe of segment IX elongate, in dorsal view truncate, deeply divided, meeting dorsally, apex bearing several thin setae. Tergum X partially retracted inside segment IX, articulating with intermediate appendage. Intermediate appendage produced into small slender plate lying mesad of inferior appendage, in ventral view, plate with 2 small posterior points. Inferior appendage broad and elongate, heavily setose, apex bifid with ventral lobe bearing large peglike seta. Phallus linear, thin membranous sheath surrounding the middle of the phallus; central tubule with two opposing apical hooks, apex of lateral process lanceolate.
Holotype male: COLOMBIA: Valle Del Cauca: Municipio El Cerrito, Rio Cerrito 7.1 km E. Hacienda “El Paraiso”, 03°38’59”N, 076°09’10”W, 1950 m, 3.xii.1997, Muñoz-Quesada et al. (UMSP 000209393) (UMSP).

Castanozoster

description: 19. Castanozoster, new genus (Fig. 3)
Type species. Fringilla thoracica Nordmann, 1835 (currently Poospiza thoracica).
Included species. Monospecific; includes only Castanozoster thoracicus, currently recognized as Poospiza thoracica. Because the name Castanzoster is masculine in gender and Poospiza is feminine, the ending of the adjectival specific epithet changes.
Diagnosis. This genus is diagnosed by the specific characters of Fringilla thoracica Nordmann, 1835.
Etymology. The name is formed from the Greek καστανό (“chestnut,” both the nut and the color) and Greek ζωστήρ (“belt”), alluding to the bold chestnut band across the bird’s breast and down its flanks. Its gender is masculine.
Comments. Poospiza thoracica belongs to a clade of 14 other species representing six currently recognized genera in traditional classifications. Burns et al. (2014) did not find strong support for the placement of P. thoracica within this clade. Thus, unless a broad genus including all 14 of these species is recognized, a new generic name is needed for P. thoracica. Accordingly, we provide Castanozoster for this purpose.

description: The accelerating pace of developments in Artificial Intelligence~(AI) and the increasing role that technology plays in society necessitates substantial changes in the structure of the workforce. Besides scientists and engineers, there is a need for a very large workforce of competent AI technicians (i.e., maintainers, integrators) and users~(i.e., operators). As traditional 4-year and 2-year degree-based education cannot fill this quickly opening gap, alternative training methods have to be developed. We present the results of the first four years of the AI Technicians program which is a unique collaboration between the U.S. Army's Artificial Intelligence Integration Center (AI2C) and Carnegie Mellon University to design, implement and evaluate novel rapid occupational training methods to create a competitive AI workforce at the technicians level. Through this multi-year effort we have already trained 59 AI Technicians. A key observation is that ongoing frequent updates to the training are necessary as the adoption of AI in the U.S. Army and within the society at large is evolving rapidly. A tight collaboration among the stakeholders from the army and the university is essential for successful development and maintenance of the training for the evolving role. Our findings can be leveraged by large organizations that face the challenge of developing a competent AI workforce as well as educators and researchers engaged in solving the challenge.
