description: Distributed quantum computing, particularly distributed quantum machine learning, has gained substantial prominence for its capacity to harness the collective power of distributed quantum resources, transcending the limitations of individual quantum nodes. Meanwhile, the critical concern of privacy within distributed computing protocols remains a significant challenge, particularly in standard classical federated learning (FL) scenarios where data of participating clients is susceptible to leakage via gradient inversion attacks by the server. This paper presents innovative quantum protocols with quantum communication designed to address the FL problem, strengthen privacy measures, and optimize communication efficiency. In contrast to previous works that leverage expressive variational quantum circuits or differential privacy techniques, we consider gradient information concealment using quantum states and propose two distinct FL protocols, one based on private inner-product estimation and the other on incremental learning. These protocols offer substantial advancements in privacy preservation with low communication resources, forging a path toward efficient quantum communication-assisted FL protocols and contributing to the development of secure distributed quantum machine learning, thus addressing critical privacy concerns in the quantum computing era.

(Formica mellea Say Bost. Journ. Nat. Hist. I. 1837, pag. 286, [[male]]). Bei der Beschreibung des Arbeiters von Camponotus clarus (Myrmecologische Studien pag. 12 [660] habe ich die Vermuthung ausgesprochen, dass er zu Formica mellea Say, von welcher Art jedoch nur das Maennchen beschrieben worden ist, gehoeren koennte; da aber selbst nach einer guten Beschreibung eines Maennchens der hiezu gehoerige Arbeiter nicht erkannt werden kann, so hatte ich auf den Arbeiter indessen eine neue Species basirt, bis sich die Zusammengehoerigkeit herausstellt. Das zoologische Museum in Halle besitzt nun aus Nordamerika die dreierlei Individuen eines Camponotus, welche unzweifelhaft zu einer Art gehoeren und wovon der Arbeiter mit meinem C. clarus, das Maennchen aber, welches aus Illinois stammt, vollkommen mit der Beschreibung von F. mellea Say uebereinstimmt, so dass daher der Name clarus als synonym fallen und die Art Camp. melleus Say heissen muss.
Das Weibchenhat eine Koerperlaenge von 16 Millim., es stimmt in den allgemeinen Koerperumrissen mit Camponotus pubescens, in der Sculptur, Faerbung und Behaarung mit dem Arbeiter von C. melleus ueberein. Die Schuppe des Stielchens ist, wie ueberhaupt bei den Weibchen, viel breiter und groesser, und hat einen queren ganz geraden oberen Rand. Die Fluegel sind ziemlich wasserhell, mit braungelben Rippen und Randmal.
Das Maennchen ist 10.4 Millim, lang; es hat dieselbe Sculptur wie das Weibchen und der Arbeiter. Die Schuppe des Stielchens ist sehr niedrig, dick, von hinten gesehen, trapezfoermig, oben breit, unten schmal, ihr oberer dicker Rand ist schwach ausgerandet, wodurch die abgerundeten Ecken etwas hoeher sind, was Say mit: " a slight tubercle each side before " bezeichnet.
Von Herrn Schaufuss in Dresden erhielt ich einen Arbeiter dieser Art, welcher in der Faerbung einigermassen abweicht: Der Kopf ist schwarzbraun, die Mandibeln, die Wangen und die Geissel sind braunroth, der Clypeus ist braeunlich rothgelb und der Schaft rothbraun. Der honiggelbe Thorax und die Schuppe sind oben stark braun angeraucht, der Hinterleib und die Beine sind dunkel honiggelb.

Picaresque necessity
Creators: name: Peterson, Nathan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation argues that eighteenth-century picaresque narratives opposed modern notions of individual autonomy and social progress by stressing questions of necessity. The picaresque highlights the kinds of causes - such as bodily need or economic hardship - that overpower individual and collective capacities for self-determination. Whereas eighteenth-century scholarship has long emphasized the affiliation between the rise of the novel and the rise of the autonomous individual, Picaresque Necessity argues that authors such as Daniel Defoe and Tobias Smollett were preoccupied with how states of extreme need threaten an individual's capacity for survival and social advancement. I argue that the open-ended and repetitive nature of the picaresque stems from its emphasis on the interminable demands of the body, and that its episodic narrative defies higher order modes of explanation by lingering on the irreducible power of bodily need. Necessity resists being apprehended in the objective language of social or political theory because its impetus can only be felt by the sufferer, whose testimony is thus often disregarded as irredeemably partial and subjective. By insisting that the immediate power of necessity cannot reliably be represented in language, the picaresque exposes a gap between social theory and individual need that continues to trouble socioeconomic discourse to this day.

description: We investigate a family of models described by two holographic CFT$_2$s coupled along a shared interface. The bulk dual geometry consists of two AdS$_3$ spacetimes truncated by a shared Karch-Randall end-of-the-world (EOW) brane. A lower dimensional effective model comprising of JT gravity coupled to two flat CFT$_2$ baths is subsequently realized by considering small fluctuations on the EOW brane and implementing a partial Randall-Sundrum reduction where the transverse fluctuations of the EOW brane are identified as the dilaton field. We compute the generalized entanglement entropy for bipartite states through the island prescription in the effective lower dimensional picture and obtain precise agreement in the limit of large brane tension with the corresponding doubly holographic computations in the bulk geometry. Furthermore, we obtain the corresponding Page curves for the Hawking radiation in this JT braneworld.

Androgens and ectoparasites as proximate factors influencing growth in the sexually dimorphic lizard, Sceloporus undulatus
Creators: name: Pollock, Nicholas
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: A growing body of evidence indicates that testosterone (T) plays an important role in regulating patterns of growth in lizards. Testosterone has also been found to facilitate the development of male-typical coloration and a suite of male behaviors that increase reproductive success. However, while T promotes male fitness through these characteristics, it appears to hinder fitness through direct molecular inhibition of growth and through indirect potential costs associated with increased parasitism. The relationship between T and ectoparasitism is complicated by seasonal variation in host circulating T levels and ectoparasite life cycles. It is unclear whether sex differences in ectoparasite loads are present year-round, are present only when circulating T is high in males, or are present only when ectoparasite abundances are high. Furthermore, it is often assumed that because ectoparasites feed by taking nutrients and energy from their hosts, then ectoparasites likely impact host growth. Effects of ectoparasitism on host growth may be particularly high in males if they have greater ectoparasite loads than females. This could indirectly lead to slower male growth and smaller overall male body size. To address the lack of information regarding direct and indirect effects of T on growth, seasonal variation in sex- biased ectoparasite loads, and of the relationship between ectoparasitism and growth, I investigated (1) whether growth inhibition in eastern fence lizards (Sceloporus undulatus) is regulated through androgen or estrogen receptors, (2) seasonal correlations of mite loads with environmental mite abundances, and (3) whether sex differences in growth are correlated with sex differences in mite loads. I found that DHT inhibits male growth in S. undulatus, suggesting that T inhibits growth through direct androgenic molecular regulation. Furthermore, as indicated by the negative correlation between male growth and mite load, I found that T may also inhibit growth in males indirectly through costs associated with increased mite parasitism. Mite loads on S. undulatus varied seasonally, with peak mite loads occurring during months of high environmental mite abundance, coincident with seasonally high circulating T in yearling males and negatively correlated with male growth. This suggests that mites may impose a cost to growth in S. undulatus and contribute to male growth-inhibition, sex-specific growth rates, and the development of sexual size dimorphism (SSD).

The relationship between land use and water quality in two sub-watersheds of the Raritan River, New Jersey
Creators: name: Park, Boyoung

Year: 2016

description: Natural ecosystems in landscapes provide significant services to human society. One of the most significant issues, today, is the protection of water quality during and after urbanization. There are many options to define the water quality.  This research conducts two main assessments, visual habitat assessment and benthic macro invertebrate assessment, to estimate water quality.   Using two assessments and GIS data, the Lamington River sub-watershed and the North Branch sub-watersheds, in Raritan River Basin of New Jersey, were studied. The assessments indicated a range of results for both sub-watersheds.    In addition, this research found that land use changes in the study area mostly resulted in additional developed area. Regression analysis indicates that there is strong relationship between visual habitat quality and developed area and undeveloped area. Specifically, data demonstrate that the high percentage of undeveloped area (forest) is related to higher water quality in the assessment scores. Finer scale study of land use in a 300 foot stream buffer also indicates development is proceeding more slowly near the stream than in the watershed as a whole.

description: The noncollinear spin textures provide promising avenues to stabilize exotic magnetic phases and excitations. They have attracted vast attention owning to their nontrivial band topology in the past decades. Distinct from the conventional route of involving the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in a honeycomb magnet, the interplay of bond-dependent Kitaev and $Γ$ interactions, originating from the spin-orbit coupling and octahedra crystal field in real materials, has demonstrated to be another source to generate noncollinear spin textures with multiple spins in a magnetic unit cell. Notably, earlier works have revealed a triple-meron crystal (TmX) consisting of eighteen spins in the frustrated Kitaev-$Γ$ model. Aligning with previous efforts, here we attempt to identify that the TmX hosts several peculiar features with the help of the linear spin-wave theory. To begin with, the symmetric anisotropic exchanges are beneficial for the existence of nonreciprocal magnons, which are stabilized by an external magnetic field. Further, within the regime of TmX, successive topological phase transitions occur, accompanied by the changes of Chern number in value and thermal Hall conductivity in sign. In addition, topological nature of magnons is also verified by the onset of chiral edge modes in a nanoribbon geometry. Our findings pave the way to study topological phenomena of noncollinear spin textures in potential Kitaev materials.

description: Occurring at the intersection of the Santa Fe Railroad, Route 66 and Bristol Dry Lake, histories of the town of Amboy in Southern California have often focused on the historic highway and its iconic motel heyday.  Rarely has the town been read in terms of the dry lake and the salt industries that have operated here since before Route 66.  Endeavoring to reveal an elusive landform and its effect on place, this thesis uses archival material and personal accounts to position Bristol Dry Lake in relation to the town, the transcontinental corridors that pass it by, and ongoing discussions regarding industry, preservation, water, and salt in the Southwest.

Aus Brasilien, ein Arbeiter im zoologischen Museum in Halle.
Diese Art ist von allen mir bekannten Camponotus-Species durch den auffallend duennen Kopf, durch das oben abgeflachte Mesonotum und Metanotum, so wie durch den schwachen Eindruck zwischen diesen beiden ausgezeichnet. Sie mag dem C. planatus Rog. nahe stehen, so wie sie auch mit C. crassus Mayr einige Aehnlichkeit hat. Von letzterer unterscheidet sich die neue Art besonders durch den duennen Kopf, durch den stark depressen Thorax, durch das niedere Metanotum, dessen Basaltheil doppelt so lang ist als der abschuessige Theil, waehrend bei C. crassus das Metanotum hoch ist und der Basaltheil mit dem abschuessigen Theile einen viel weniger stumpfen Winkel bildet als diess bei der neuen Art der Fall ist.

Further material: 1 ♂ (nymph n4): S-Sulawesi, Lembang, Maros, leg. Gunawan XII.1995 [coll. FH, No. 0207-1].
Differential diagnosis: This distinctive species is well recognized among the Sulawesian representatives of the genus by the strong dorsal spines of the pro- and mesonotum and strong pair of spines on the five basal abdominal terga.
Comments: Günther (1934b: 90) regarded D. celebensis as a subspecies of D. mancus Bates, 1865. Redtenbacher’s taxon however strongly differs from typical D. mancus originally described from the island of Ternate east of Halmahera in so many morphological characters that it is here reinstated as a valid species (rev. stat.). The most striking distinguishing features, that readily separate D. celebensis from typical D. mancus Bates, 1865 are the prominent spines of the head and thorax as well as the very distinctive, strong paired anterior spines of abdominal terga II–V of both sexes. The unique ♀ in the collection of NHMW is selected as the lectotype to guarantee stability of the taxon.
While the type specimens in NHMW are plain buff to ochre in colour (most certainly due to provisional conservation in spirits), the ♂ in the collection of MNHU and recorded by Günther 1935 is remarkable for the yellowish green colour and bright red dorsal spines of the thorax and basal abdominal terga.
Hausleithner (1989: 255) provided a very brief description and drawings of a not fully developed egg extracted from the abdomen of the lectotype in the collection of NHMW. Therefore, a detailed description the fully developed egg and illustrations are provided herein.

Caloric restriction on bone quality in men, and the effect of three doses of vitamin d (3DD) on bone and insulin resistance in older women
Creators: name: Pop, Liliana Claudia

description: Caloric restriction (CR) results in loss of bone mass in older populations and has specifically been shown in women, but studies examining multiple bone sites and bone quality in response to weight loss (WL) in men are missing. In our six-month WL intervention, there was no reduction in bone mineral density (BMD) ay any anatomical sites in overweight and obese men. Also, WL did not affect cortical and trabecular bone and geometry. On the contrary, despite increased BMD at some sites when maintaining excess body weight, our results showed a trend for compromised cortical bone in the weight maintenance (WM) group.   Postmenopausal women undergoing weight control to improve health outcomes, are particularly at risk for bone loss, and might benefit from supplemental vitamin D intake above the recommended allowance. A second study in this dissertation examined whether vitamin D supplementation, in healthy overweight/obese older women, affects bone mineral density (BMD) and bone structural parameters in a one year-long, randomized, double-blind controlled trial. Results showed that higher vitamin D supplementation prevented the decline in cortical thickness, and there was a trend to attenuate trochanter BMD in older women over one year. Evidence suggest that vitamin D  supplementation influences osteocalcin (OC) levels during short-term caloric restriction and this results in lower insulin resistance (IR), Hence, we addressed whether vitamin D affects markers of insulin sensitivity and OC measures in healthy overweight/obese older women over one year. We found a modest effect of vitamin D supplementation on glycemic markers and no influence on OC measures. Overall, these studies examine bone structural parameters in response to weight loss in men and the effects of vitamin D supplementation on bone quality and metabolic health in older women.

description: One of the most important skills that humans develop is language. Since some children might not develop linguistic proficiency following the formal pattern, early diagnosis of language difficulties so as to provide immediate intervention is imperative. Taking into consideration the lack of tools assessing the language competence in Greek language, the aim of current research was the adaptation and standardization of a language skills test in the Cypriot population, which was based on the development and standardization principles of the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals-4 test (CELF-4). Data were obtained from 332 children aged 5-9 years old with typical language development, whose both parents have Greek as their native language. Participants were matched according their gender and age and they were selected based on the proportion of the Cypriot population in urban and rural areas of Cyprus. The results of the variance analyses on the sum of the ratings of the subtests in each age group as well as on the indicators that can be extracted from the combination of appropriate subtests showed a statistically significant linear trend as a result of the effect of increasing age on every subtest except two. Furthermore, the subtests had good internal cohesion reliability and stability. Correlational analyses were carried out between the subtests and the indicators they contribute to resulting in moderate to high levels of correlation. In conclusion, the test seems to have good features and characteristics and with further processing it could be utilized for the identification and diagnosis of children with language difficulties.

Von Bona in Algier, in meiner Sammlung von Herrn Dr. Sichel.
Glaenzend schwarz, die Mandibeln, die Fuehlergeissel, die Gelenke der Beine und die Tarsen rothbraun oder braunroth, die Hueftgelenke mehr braeunlichgelb; ein Exemplar hat ein braunrothes Pronotum und auch den Kopf dunkel rothbraun, so dass die Vermuthung nahe liegt, dass diese Art denselben Farbenverschiedenheiten unterliegt, wie die ihr so aehnliche Art C. lateralis Ol. Die lange aufrechte blassgelbe Behaarung ist, wie bei dieser, am Kopfe, am Thorax und am Hinterleibe spaerlich, an den Schenkeln sind nur einzelne solche Haare, waehrend sie an den Schienen ganz fehlen. Der Umriss des Kopfes ist genau so wie bei C. lateralis, der Kopf zeigt eine lederartige Runzelung, welche am Hinterkopfe fein, vorne aber viel groeber ist, so wie sich insbesondere am Vorderkopfe eine zerstreute grobe Punktirung vorfindet. Die nicht breiten Mandibeln sind laengsgerunzelt und zerstreut grob punktirt. Der schwach oder nur hinten deutlich gekielte Clypeus ist in der Mitte des Vorderrandes bei dem groesseren Arbeiter deutlich ausgerandet. Das wie bei C. lateralis geformte Pronotum ist fein lederartig gerunzelt und hat auf der Scheibe einzelne maessig grobe Punkte. Die Naht zwischen dem Pronotum und dem lederartig gerunzelten Mesonotum ¡st deutlicher ausgepraegt als bei C. lateralis. Die Einschnuerung zwischen dem Mesonotum und Metanotum ist ziemlich stark; die Form des letzteren, welches fein lederartig gerunzelt ist, gleicht im Allgemeinen der von C. marginatus Ltr., pubescens Fabr. u. s. w., nur ist es relativ kuerzer und etwas breiter, der maessig gewoelbte, in der Mitte etwas abgeflachte, gerundet-viereckige Basaltheil geht bogig, ohne Kante, in den ziemlich ebenso langen abschuessigen Theil ueber. Die gerundete Schuppe des Stielchens ist vorne convex und hinten flach. Der Hinterleib ist sehr fein und seicht runzlig-quergestreift. Die Beine zeigen eine aeusserst feine und seichte lederartige Runzelung.
Diese Art ist fast nur durch die schwach eingedrueckte Pro- Mesonotalnaht und durch das anders gebildete Metanotum specifisch von C. lateralis Ol. unterschieden.

Evander's mother
Creators: name: Pietras, Brian John
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation traces how the Renaissance rediscovery of ancient women writers led to the emergence of new theories and practices of English vernacular authorship. In the sixteenth century, Greco-Roman women writers became famous for writings that were largely fragmentary, of dubious origin, or entirely lost. Indeed, a number of these purported female authors—such as Carmentis, the mother of Evander in the Aeneid— were purely legendary. My dissertation argues, however, that this lack of surviving texts was precisely what made ancient women so useful to early moderns. Vested with the prestige of classical antiquity but untethered from any concrete body of writing, ancient female authors functioned as what I call a “canon without a corpus” in Renaissance England. The first three chapters of Evander’s Mother show how sixteenth-century male writers appropriated figures from this now-forgotten female canon to decisively reshape inherited models of authorship: how Thomas Elyot employed the rebellious historian Zenobia to defy the humanist emphasis on classical imitation; how John Donne and John Fletcher experimented with non-Petrarchan forms of love lyric through fantasies of Sappho; and how William Shakespeare and Edmund Spenser reworked the role of the divinely inspired poet by evoking legendary female prophets known as the sibyls. The fourth chapter examines how Mary Wroth drew on the first-century historian Pamphila to expose the long history of textual loss that made such appropriations possible. Finally, the epilogue explores how, by the late seventeenth century, ancient female authors shifted from serving as figures for humanist-trained male writers to providing a history for English women writers. In charting this shift, my dissertation historicizes the very concept of “women’s writing” as a distinct field. At the same time, however, Evander’s Mother demonstrates that, prior to the seventeenth century, authorship was theorized along much less strictly gendered lines. While scholars often argue that the “birth of the author” entailed a constitutive repudiation of women and femininity, my dissertation reveals that strategies of cross-gendered (and cross-temporal) identification were crucial to the development of vernacular models of authorship. Moreover, in recovering the importance of England’s canon without a corpus, my dissertation both employs historicist methods of literary study and critiques them—demonstrating that early modern studies requires a historicism attuned to the oddly generative nature of textual loss and fragmentation. This more nuanced model of historicism, Evander’s Mother shows, could powerfully reshape our understandings of gender, antiquity, and authorship in Renaissance England

description: Experimental observations of vacuum radiation and vacuum frictional torque are challenging due to their vanishingly small effects in practical systems. For example, a rotating nanosphere in free space slows down due to friction from vacuum fluctuations with a stopping time around the age of the universe. Here, we show that a spinning yttrium iron garnet (YIG) nanosphere near aluminum or YIG slabs exhibits vacuum radiation eight orders of magnitude larger than other metallic or dielectric spinning nanospheres. We achieve this giant enhancement by exploiting the large near-field magnetic local density of states in YIG systems, which occurs in the low-frequency GHz regime comparable to the rotation frequency. Furthermore, we propose a realistic experimental setup for observing the effects of this large vacuum radiation and frictional torque under experimentally accessible conditions.
