description: Cavernicolous populations of the spider wasp Ageniella evansi Townes, 1957 (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) nest deep within limestone caves at Colossal Cave Mountain Park near Tucson, Arizona, USA. These remarkable populations are the only truly cavernicolous pompilid wasps currently known. As many as 79 females were documented nesting simultaneously within Arkenstone Cave. The facts that the wasps do not nest near cave entrances but only deep within the interior of the caves, are philopatric to each occupied cave and have been present each year for decades confirm their cavernicolous behaviour as subtroglophiles. Studies conducted for over 30 years revealed many insights into the behaviour of these wasps in addition to their nesting deep within limestone caves, including: intraspecific and interspecific competition, plasticity in host selection, precision solar navigation, evidence that some form of communal nesting may be present and behaviour suggestive of rudimentary cognition in the species. This study demonstrates the importance of assessing all animals found in caves as potential ecological elements and not focusing solely on exotic troglobiotic species.

description: Philohydor lictor is a Neotropical tyrant flycatcher that belongs to a kiskadee-like mimetic system. This system encompasses seven genera with at least one species with strikingly similar plumage patterns, in which smaller species mimic larger species to deceive predators. The reproduction of P. lictor is poorly known, and misidentification of its nests and eggs with other species with similar plumage may be common, creating confusion between them. Here, we aim to summarise the knowledge about its reproductive biology and highlight the common pitfalls in gathering information on mimetic species in citizen science, literature, and museum databases. We assembled 106 reproductive records from between 1898 and 2023, of which 49 were from citizen science, 37 were from the literature, and 20 were from museum egg collections. Most reproductive records were from Panama (31.3%, N = 26) and Brazil (25.3%, N = 21). Egg-laying mainly occurred in the first half of the year and peaked when monthly total precipitation was between 150 and 300 mm (40%, N = 16). Nests were loose cups placed on vegetation near water and built with dry twigs, roots, and tendrils lined with fine twigs. Eggs from museum collections measured 20.9 × 16.1 mm (N = 23). Misidentified records comprised 21.7% (N = 23) of total breeding records and mainly occurred in <1935 museum egg collections. Misidentifications included records of domed nests, eggs larger than expected for the species’ body size, and records from outside the species’ range. These results stress that studies of reproductive biology of mimetic species based on citizen science, literature, and museum datasets are not straightforward, and data should be refined by validation procedures. These validations should include verification that records fall inside the species’ geographic range, include correct description of nests, and match egg size with adult body size.

Two-component self-gravitating isothermal slab models

description: We revisit the problem of the isothermal slab (in standard Cartesian coordinates, density distributions and mean gravitational potential are considered to be independent of $x$ and $y$ and to be a function of $z$, symmetric with respect to the $z = 0$ plane) in the context of the general issues related to the role of weak collisionality in inhomogeneous self-gravitating stellar systems. We thus consider the two-component case, that is a system of heavy and light stars with assigned mass ratio ($μ$) and assigned global relative abundance ($α$; the ratio of the total mass of the heavy and light stars). The system is imagined to start from an initial condition in which the two species are well mixed and have identical spatial and velocity distributions and to evolve into a final configuration in which collisions have generated equipartition and mass segregation. Initial and final distribution functions are assumed to be Maxwellian. Application of mass and energy conservation allows us to derive the properties of the final state from the assumed initial conditions. In general, the derivation of these properties requires a simple numerical integration of the Poisson equation. Curiously, the case in which the heavy stars are exactly twice as massive as the light stars ($μ= 2$) turns out to admit a relatively simple analytic solution. Although the general framework of this investigation is relatively straightforward, some non-trivial issues related to energy conservation and the possible use of a virial constraint are noted and clarified. The formulation and the results of this paper prepare the way to future studies in which the evolution induced by weak collisionality will be followed either by considering the action of standard collision operators or by means of dedicated numerical simulations.

description: The features of topological physics can manifest in a variety of physical systems in distinct ways. Periodically driven systems, with the advantage of high flexibility and controllability, provide a versatile platform to simulate many topological phenomena and may lead to novel phenomena that can not be observed in the absence of driving. Here we investigate the influence of realistic experimental noise on the realization of a two-level system under a two-frequency drive that induces topologically nontrivial band structure in the two-dimensional Floquet space. We propose a dynamical decoupling scheme that sustains the topological phase transition overcoming the influence of dephasing. Therefore, the proposal would facilitate the observation of topological frequency conversion in the solid state spin system, e.g. NV center in diamond.

description: Breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA) mutation carriers have an increased risk of breast cancer. Mitigation of this risk can be achieved via surveillance or prophylactic mastectomy with or without breast reconstruction. Those that choose surgery expect to reduce their chance of developing cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of patients developing breast cancer prior to surgery and to identify modifiable contributing factors within the patient journey. This is a historical cohort study of all BRCA mutation carriers identified through the British Columbia Cancer Hereditary Cancer Program between 2000 and 2012. Patients were divided into two groups: surveillance (S) and prophylactic mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction (PM/IBR). The incidence of cancer, time to PM/IBR and patient journeys were analyzed. A total of 333 women were identified. The time to surgery from mutation disclosure was a median of 31 (5.3, 75.7) months. During this period, 6% of patients developed breast cancer compared with a 14% incidence of breast cancer in patients choosing surveillance. The majority of time to surgery was attributed to the period between mutation disclosure and the decision to proceed with surgery. Strategies to facilitate decision-making as well as wait list prioritization and dedicated operative time should be targeted to this population to decrease the number of women developing an interval cancer prior to surgery.

Drag pedagogy : The playful practice of queer imagination in early childhood
Creators: name: Keenan, Harper
name: Mess, Lil Miss  Hot
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: In recent years, a programme for young children called Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) has risen to simultaneous popularity and controversy. This article, written collaboratively by an education scholar and a drag queen involved in organizing DQSH, contextualizes the programme within the landscape of gender in education as well as within the world of drag, and argues that Drag Queen Story Hour provides a generative extension of queer pedagogy into the world of early childhood education. Drawing on the work of José Esteban Muñoz, the authors discuss five interrelated elements of DQSH that offer early childhood educators a way into a sense of queer imagination: play as praxis, aesthetic transformation, strategic defiance, destigmatization of shame, and embodied kinship. Ultimately, the authors propose that “drag pedagogy” provides a performative approach to queer pedagogy that is not simply about LGBT lives, but living queerly.

description: We report, an experimental evidence of surface states (SS) driven magneto-transport in a Bi0.85Sb0.15 single crystal. Detailed high field (up to 12T) and low temperature (down to 2K) magneto-transport measurements are been carried out on the studied Bi0.85Sb0.15 single crystal. The phase, composition and Raman modes are studied through X-ray diffraction, Energy dispersive X-ray, and Raman spectroscopy. The obtained crystal shows non-saturating magnetoresistance (4250%) at 2K and 12T, along with the existence of weak-anti localization (WAL) effect at around zero magnetic field. Further, the Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka (HLN) analysis is performed to analyse the WAL effect. The prefactor and phase coherence length are deduced at various temperatures, which signified the presence of more than one conduction channel in the studied Bi0.85Sb0.15 single crystal. The effect of quantum scattering, bulk contribution from underneath the surface states and defects are been studied by adding various field dependent quadratic, linear and constant terms to the SS driven HLN equation. Various possible scattering mechanism are studied by analysing the temperature dependence of the phase coherence length. Angle dependent magneto-conductivity of the studied Bi0.85Sb0.15 single crystal clearly confirmed the surface states dominated transport in present crystal.

description: Compared to other language tasks, applying pre-trained language models (PLMs) for search ranking often requires more nuances and training signals. In this paper, we identify and study the two mismatches between pre-training and ranking fine-tuning: the training schema gap regarding the differences in training objectives and model architectures, and the task knowledge gap considering the discrepancy between the knowledge needed in ranking and that learned during pre-training. To mitigate these gaps, we propose Pre-trained, Prompt-learned and Pre-finetuned Neural Ranker (P^3 Ranker). P^3 Ranker leverages prompt-based learning to convert the ranking task into a pre-training like schema and uses pre-finetuning to initialize the model on intermediate supervised tasks. Experiments on MS MARCO and Robust04 show the superior performances of P^3 Ranker in few-shot ranking. Analyses reveal that P^3 Ranker is able to better accustom to the ranking task through prompt-based learning and retrieve necessary ranking-oriented knowledge gleaned in pre-finetuning, resulting in data-efficient PLM adaptation.

description: The incredible feats of athleticism demonstrated by humans are made possible in part by a vast repertoire of general-purpose motor skills, acquired through years of practice and experience. These skills not only enable humans to perform complex tasks, but also provide powerful priors for guiding their behaviors when learning new tasks. This is in stark contrast to what is common practice in physics-based character animation, where control policies are most typically trained from scratch for each task. In this work, we present a large-scale data-driven framework for learning versatile and reusable skill embeddings for physically simulated characters. Our approach combines techniques from adversarial imitation learning and unsupervised reinforcement learning to develop skill embeddings that produce life-like behaviors, while also providing an easy to control representation for use on new downstream tasks. Our models can be trained using large datasets of unstructured motion clips, without requiring any task-specific annotation or segmentation of the motion data. By leveraging a massively parallel GPU-based simulator, we are able to train skill embeddings using over a decade of simulated experiences, enabling our model to learn a rich and versatile repertoire of skills. We show that a single pre-trained model can be effectively applied to perform a diverse set of new tasks. Our system also allows users to specify tasks through simple reward functions, and the skill embedding then enables the character to automatically synthesize complex and naturalistic strategies in order to achieve the task objectives.

description: Crowdfunding provides project founders with a convenient way to reach online investors. However, it is challenging for founders to find the most potential investors and successfully raise money for their projects on crowdfunding platforms. A few machine learning based methods have been proposed to recommend investors' interest in a specific crowdfunding project, but they fail to provide project founders with explanations in detail for these recommendations, thereby leading to an erosion of trust in predicted investors. To help crowdfunding founders find truly interested investors, we conducted semi-structured interviews with four crowdfunding experts and presents inSearch, a visual analytic system. inSearch allows founders to search for investors interactively on crowdfunding platforms. It supports an effective overview of potential investors by leveraging a Graph Neural Network to model investor preferences. Besides, it enables interactive exploration and comparison of the temporal evolution of different investors' investment details.

description: We demonstrate that atomically thin nitrogen-based binary group-V wide band-gap indirect semiconductors (NX (X=As, Sb)) can show strong linear and nonlinear optical activities. Contrary to NAs, we find that the fundamental optical absorption in NSb is infact quite resilient towards the temperature variations between 0-450 K. Exciton in NSb is however found to be less strongly bound (1.40 eV) compared to the more tight case in NAs (1.63 eV), leading to a more delocalised Mott-Wannier type texture. The inhomogenous excitonic linewidths for both monolayers within these temperatures are found to be in the range of 100-400 meV. The largest nonlinear second harmonic optical coefficient (2$\omega$ resonances) in NAs and NSb monolayers are obtained to be $\sim$270 and 636 pm/V at 2.6 eV (477 nm) and 3.2 eV (387 nm) respectively. We also provided a detailed analysis of in-plane biaxial strain on these structures. We found that a tensile strain is energetically more favorable and does not influence the exciton binding energy in NAs. The nonlinear coefficient also significantly improves at the two most important 810 and 1560 nm wavelengths compared to the cases offered by the monolayer transitional metal dichalcogenides. Our analysis is based on a fully $ab$-$initio$ G$_0$W$_0$+Bethe-Salpeter excited state theory. The temperature-dependent linear absorption spectra are evaluated by including the electron-phonon self-energies, whereas the nonlinear spectra are treated using the modern theory of polarization within the same perturbative approach.
Surveillance-oriented trajectory-based anomaly detection: supervised vs unsupervised learning approaches
Creators: name: Ng, Lih Lin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Transforming human understanding in visual data to electronic vision systems has been one of the aims in the field of artificial intelligence. The advancements in the digital cameras and computational capabilities have triggered the global demand in automated video understanding and anomaly detection especially in surveillance videos. Nevertheless, activities recognition and anomaly detection especially in public scenes remained a huge challenge for researchers due to countless factors such as poor quality footage, illumination, shadows, occlusion, noise etc. The state-of-the-art on behaviour analysis has built a bunch of sophisticated techniques for trajectory analysis. This thesis presents two trajectory learning methods; supervised and unsupervised trajectory learning and analysis in object's motion pattern. Investigation on object's motion trajectory for event recognition and anomaly detection frameworks is carried out for a video surveillance camera in an outdoor car park environment. The main challenge for outdoor environment videos is the variation in illumination. For a better outdoor object tracking process, an adaptive GMM background modelling is implemented for object trajectory extraction. Subsequently, for a better understanding of mobility data, a hybrid spatiotemporal trajectory modelling is implemented to abstract object's mobility data into different level; spatial location, velocity and acceleration. However, different type of object will have different repetition of motion pattern. Therefore, type of the object is classified before the motion pattern clustering. A scene modeling is done before the event learning system to analyse the point of interest of the motion trajectory. For supervised activity learning method, the scene is decomposed into regions and the trajectory pattern for each activity is grouped and clustered. An offline trajectory learning method is done by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The experiment result shows the accurate event recognition and anomaly detection. However, substantial amount of labelled training dataset has to be collected and event learning cannot be performed adaptively. Therefore, the work is extended to a second approach, unsupervised trajectory learning method to solve the addressing problem. The scene modeling is performed by clustering the entry and exit points of the object trajectories by GMM. In order to achieve automation in clustering trajectory pattern, a K-mean clustering algorithm is used to cluster the entire trajectories training dataset. A HMM framework is implemented in the system to devise parametric activity models for each class of activity. This system can perform the activities learning adaptively and fully automation. The comparison for both approaches is demonstrated in detail in this thesis.

description: Wine fermentation processes are driven by complex microbial systems, which comprise eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms that participate in several biochemical interactions with the must and wine chemicals and modulate the organoleptic properties of wine. Among these, yeasts play a fundamental role, since they carry out the alcoholic fermentation (AF), converting sugars to ethanol and CO₂ together with a wide range of volatile organic compounds. The contribution of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the reference organism associated with AF, has been extensively studied. However, in the last decade, selected non-Saccharomyces strains received considerable commercial and oenological interest due to their specific pro-technological aptitudes and the positive influence on sensory quality. This review aims to highlight the inter-specific variability within the heterogeneous class of non-Saccharomyces in terms of synthesis and release of volatile organic compounds during controlled AF in wine. In particular, we reported findings on the presence of model non-Saccharomyces organisms, including Torulaspora delbrueckii, Hanseniaspora spp,Lachancea thermotolerans, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Pichia spp. and Candida zemplinina, in combination with S. cerevisiae. The evidence is discussed from both basic and applicative scientific perspective. In particular, the oenological significance in different kind of wines has been underlined.

description: Environmental governance and management are facing a multiplicity of challenges related to spatial scales and multiple levels of governance. Water management is a field particularly sensitive to issues of scale because the hydrological system with its different scalar levels from small catchments to large river basins plays such a prominent role. It thus exemplifies fundamental issues and dilemmas of scale in modern environmental management and governance. In this introductory article to an Environmental Management special feature on “Multilevel Water Governance: Coping with Problems of Scale,” we delineate our understanding of problems of scale and the dimensions of scalar politics that are central to water resource management. We provide an overview of the contributions to this special feature, concluding with a discussion of how scalar research can usefully challenge conventional wisdom on water resource management. We hope that this discussion of water governance stimulates a broader debate and inquiry relating to the scalar dimensions of environmental governance and management in general.

description: This paper explores the interrelationships between urban land use, resource consumption and utility service provision with a study of brownfield regeneration from an infrastructure perspective. Drawing on recent research into the spatial strategies of utility companies following liberalisation and privatisation the paper identifies disused industrial sites as “cold-spots” of infrastructure systems where energy and water consumption has recently collapsed. A case study of Berlin analyses first the challenges facing the city’s three major utilities as a result of shifting patterns of resource consumption and over-capacity in parts of their networks. The second part examines the responses of the three utilities to these challenges in the context of recent institutional changes to infrastructure provision, examining how the utilities are moving towards greater spatial differentiation in their network management and what interest they have in brownfield regeneration.

 Material. Holotype female " Euophrys vetusta C. L. Koch ZMB 1802 " " St. Thomas ". Institut für Systematische Zoologie, Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt Universität, Berlin. Drawn by J. Prószyński 21. XII. 1985.
 Remarks. Epigyne belongs apparently to Plexippus paykulli, the one drawn by Prószyński (1987: 25) is disfigured by convex median waxy plug sealing copulatory openings (compare Figs 6I with 5L). There is no any other Plexippus occurring on Western Hemisphere. Therefore:
 Euophrys vetusta C. L. Koch, 1846 = Plexippu paykulli (Audouin, 1826) - tentative synonym, pending further confirmation.

description: Surface temperature distribution is crucial for thermal property-based studies about irregular asteroids in our Solar System. While direct numerical simulations could model surface temperatures with high fidelity, they often take a significant amount of computational time, especially for problems where temperature distributions are required to be repeatedly calculated. To this end, deep operator neural network (DeepONet) provides a powerful tool due to its high computational efficiency and generalization ability. In this work, we applied DeepONet to the modelling of asteroid surface temperatures. Results show that the trained network is able to predict temperature with an accuracy of ~1% on average, while the computational cost is five orders of magnitude lower, hence enabling thermal property analysis in a multidimensional parameter space. As a preliminary application, we analyzed the orbital evolution of asteroids through direct N-body simulations embedded with instantaneous Yarkovsky effect inferred by DeepONet-based thermophysical modelling.Taking asteroids (3200) Phaethon and (89433) 2001 WM41 as examples, we show the efficacy and efficiency of our AI-based approach.

Fluorophore-Induced Plasmonic Current Generation from Copper Nanoparticle Films

name: Saha, Lahari

Publisher: name: ACS
Year: 2024

description: We describe the process of generating a fluorophore-induced plasmonic current (FIPC) from copper nanoparticle films. Previous work and the literature have shown that excited near-field fluorophores are able to plasmonically couple with metal nanoparticle films (MNFs), inducing surface plasmons in the films. These induced surface plasmons are then in turn able to generate a directly measurable electrical current across the film. These generated currents have been quantified and detected in noble metal films, such as those made from Ag and Au, but due to the cost of such films, there has been a push to use lower cost materials for FIPC. Previous work has detailed the use of gold, silver, and aluminum films for these purposes, and in this paper, we will subsequently examine the ability of thermally deposited copper films to generate FIPC when in close proximity to excited near-field fluorophores. We report the effects of copper film thickness, the effects of light polarization and solution conductance, and the effects of metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) emission on the generation of plasmonic current.
One year ozonesonde measurements at Kerguelen Island (49.2°S, 70.1°E): Influence of stratosphere-to-troposphere exchange and long-range transport of biomass burning plumes

description: We analyze a 1 year campaign of 17 ozonesondes launched in 2008–2009 at Kerguelen Island (49.2°S, 70.1°E), the first such soundings performed at this location. Tropospheric ozone presents a large variability in austral summer (December to February) and austral winter (June to September). The baseline tropospheric ozone is higher in winter (between 30 and 50 ppbv) than in summer (between 20 and 40 ppbv). We compare these observations to a data set obtained during the same period at Lauder (45.0°S, 169.7°E), which presents a marked seasonal pattern. The analysis of trajectory runs and reanalysis output help identify two significant contributors to the tropospheric ozone level at Kerguelen: the stratosphere-to-troposphere air mass transport and the long-range transport of biomass burning plumes. The stratosphere-to-troposphere transport is exemplified by a case study of a dry and enriched ozone layer over Kerguelen (70 ppbv at an altitude of 6 km on 28 February 2009). Using Lagrangian model simulations, we show that wintertime enhancement of the tropospheric ozone baseline can be partially attributed to the long-range transport of ozone precursors from biomass burning plumes originating in southern America and Africa. However, owing to limited data and to the many factors that can cause this wintertime baseline ozone enhancement, further investigations are needed to fully explain it. Additional measurements are also needed to establish an ozone climatology, to further characterize the ozone annual cycle and wintertime enhancement, and to better compare Kerguelen with other midlatitude sites.

description: Der Expertenrat für Klimafragen (ERK) legte am 13. April 2022 entsprechend § 12 Abs. 1 des Bundes-Klimaschutzgesetzes seinen zweiten Prüfbericht zu den Emissionsdaten des Vorjahres vor. Neben der Prüfung ordnet der Expertenrat die Emissionsentwicklung und die Zielerreichung bzw. Zielverfehlung einzelner Sektoren vertiefend ein und diskutiert Bedarf und Optionen für eine Weiterentwicklung des Bundes-Klimaschutzgesetzes. "Unsere Analyse gibt Hinweise darauf, dass ohne die Sondereffekte die Emissionen im Verkehr 2021 eher noch höher ausgefallen wären", erläutert Hans-Martin Henning, Vorsitzender des Expertenrats. "Zugleich bestätigen wir den Befund des Umweltbundesamtes, dass der Gebäudesektor den Jahreszielwert zum zweiten Mal in Folge überschritten hat. Allerdings ist bei dieser Feststellung zu beachten, dass der Überschreitungswert kleiner ist als die durch Lagerhaltung und Witterung bedingten Einflüsse." "Das Klimaschutzgesetz ist noch recht jung. Neben grundlegenden Fragestellungen wie beispielsweise in Bezug auf die europäische Einbettung, zeigt sich in der Praxis an einigen Stellen konkreter Anpassungsbedarf im Hinblick auf Monitoring und Steuerung", erklärt die stellvertretende Vorsitzende Brigitte Knopf. Der Expertenrat empfiehlt daher einen koordinierten Prozess zur Weiterentwicklung des Klimaschutzgesetzes im laufenden Jahr. Quelle: https://expertenrat-klima.de/
