description: Non-Hermitian matrices are ubiquitous in the description of nature ranging from classical dissipative systems, including optical, electrical, and mechanical metamaterials, to scattering of waves and open quantum many-body systems. Seminal line-gap and point-gap classifications of non-Hermitian systems using K-theory have deepened the understanding of many physical phenomena. However, ample systems remain beyond this description; reference points and lines do not in general distinguish whether multiple non-Hermitian bands exhibit intriguing exceptional points, spectral braids and crossings. To address this we consider two different notions: non-Hermitian band gaps and separation gaps that crucially encompass a broad class of multi-band scenarios, enabling the description of generic band structures with symmetries. With these concepts, we provide a unified and comprehensive classification of both gapped and nodal systems in the presence of physically relevant parity-time ( PT ) and pseudo-Hermitian symmetries using homotopy theory. This uncovers new stable topology stemming from both eigenvalues and wave functions, and remarkably also implies distinct fragile topological phases. In particular, we reveal different Abelian and non-Abelian phases in PT -symmetric systems, described by frame and braid topology. The corresponding invariants are robust to symmetry-preserving perturbations that do not induce (exceptional) degeneracy, and they also predict the deformation rules of nodal phases. We further demonstrate that spontaneous PT symmetry breaking is captured by Chern-Euler and Chern-Stiefel-Whitney descriptions, a fingerprint of unprecedented non-Hermitian topology previously overlooked. These results open the door for theoretical and experimental exploration of a rich variety of novel topological phenomena in a wide range of physical platforms.

description: Platystethynium Ogloblin, 1946
Platystethynium Ogloblin, 1946: 290. Type species: P. onomarchicidum Ogloblin, by original designation.
Platypatasson Ogloblin, 1946: 293. Type species: Platystethynium fransseni Ogloblin, 1946, by original designation. Synonymy by Donev & Huber, 2002: 118.
Parastethynium Ogloblin, 1964: 106. Lapsus for Platystethynium.
Pseudocleruchus Donev & Huber, 2002: 118. Type species: Pseudocleruchus triclavatus Donev & Huber, 2002, by original designation. Synonymy by Ortis et al., 2020: 10.
Diagnosis. FEMALE. Females are distinguished from all other genera by the following combination: head strongly triangular (Fig. 8); mandibles short, without teeth, and with a distinct gap between them (Fig. 2b); pronotum longitudinally divided medially (Fig. 4); mesosoma dorsoventrally flattened (Fig. 9); fore wing with venation at most 0.33× fore wing length.
Remarks. Platystethynium, represented in New Zealand by one species of the subgenus Platypatasson, is the first new genus reported for the country since the genera were keyed by Noyes & Valentine (1989). In their key, females would key to Apoxypteron, at the first half of their couplet 67. Males key to couplet 9 but do not fit either half. Among other features, Platystethynium (Platypatasson) differs from Apoxypteron by the longitudinally divided pronotum (pronotum not divided in Apoxypteron), the short and relatively wide parastigma (Fig. 5) (parastigma long and uniformly thin in Apoxypteron), and the venation about 0.3× fore wing length (venation 0.4× fore wing length in Apoxypteron).

Anastrepha sororcula has been reported previously from Brazil and Venezuela. Norrbom (2004) report it from Ecuador, Perú, Paraguay and Colombia but without providing any specimen data This species belongs to the A. fraterculus group and is very similar to A. fraterculus with which it could be confused easily (Zucchi et al. 1999). Specimens of A. sororcula collected from Colombia have short ocellar setae, katepisternal seta present, long and thin; wing 6.1–6.8 mm long, 2.5–3.0 mm wide; C and S-bands joined, S and V-bands separated, V-band diffuse at apex; subscutellum and mediotergite totally brown laterally; oviscape 1.66 mm long (n=5), spiracles at basal 0.60–0.66 mm; aculeus 1.35–1.47 mm long, aculeus tip 0.18–0.21 mm long, serrate part 0.12–0.13 mm long. Specimens collected in Colombia have the aculeus shorter than in the type specimens (1.50–1.55 mm)(Zucchi 1977), but their aculeus tips are slightly longer (0.17–0.19 mm in Brazilian specimens) (Zucchi et al. 1999). Colombian specimens of Anastrepha sororcula and A. fraterculus can be separated based on the length/width ratio of the serrate part of the aculeus tip. This ratio is 0.66–1.14 in A. sororcula and 0.5–0.55 in A. fraterculus.
An important fact is that A. sororcula in Colombia has a wide distribution including low, middle and high locations and more than one state (Tolima and Valle).

description: This paper addresses the problem of thrust estimation and control for the rotors of small-sized multirotors Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Accurate control of the thrust generated by each rotor during flight is one of the main challenges for robust control of quadrotors. The most common approach is to approximate the mapping of rotor speed to thrust with a simple quadratic model. This model is known to fail under non-hovering flight conditions, introducing errors into the control pipeline. One of the approaches to modeling the aerodynamics around the propellers is the Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT). Here, we propose a novel BEMT-based closed-loop thrust estimator and control to eliminate the laborious calibration step of finding several aerodynamic coefficients. We aim to reuse known values as a baseline and fit the thrust estimate to values closest to the real ones with a simple test bench experiment, resulting in a single scaling value. A feedforward PID thrust control was implemented for each rotor, and the methods were validated by outdoor experiments with two multirotor UAV platforms: 250mm and 500mm. A statistical analysis of the results showed that the thrust estimation and control provided better robustness under aerodynamically varying flight conditions compared to the quadratic model.

description: The present experiment examined women's state body images and reactions of jealousy based on reading scenarios describing a party. The scenario described the woman watching her partner engaging in conversation with either a physically attractive or unattractive woman. Ninety heterosexual female college students completed a pretest packet containing measures that assessed body image evaluation and investment. After a week, they read one of the two scenarios and completed the state body image measure, experiential sampling assessment, jealousy questionnaire„manipulation check, and postexperimental inquiry. As expected, there was more jealousy toward the attractive woman, and more jealousy expressed by those dysfunctionafiy invested in appearance and by those with negative views of attractive women. The interaction between condition and thinness investment approached significance. This indicated more jealousy expressed by those high in thinness investment than those low in investment within the attractive woman scenario. As predicted, participants who were highly invested in their appearance had poorer body images than those low in investment. Consistent with hypotheses, women reported more negative emotions upon reading the attractive woman scenario. Those more dysfunctionally invested in appearance reported more negative emotions than those low in investment. Significant interactions were found between condition and thinness investment and condition and negative views of attractive women. This indicated that within the attractive woman condition„ those more invested and those with more negative attitudes toward attractive women expressed more negative emotions than their low counterparts. These same groups (high investment and high negative attitudes) experienced more negative emotions in the attractive woman condition than the unattractive woman condition. Also as expected, women who were highly invested in appearance and those who have more negative views of attractive women mentioned the appearance of the other woman more frequently. These same groups of women were also more likely to behave in maladaptive fashions in reaction to the party situation. Theoretical and social implications of the findings are discussed.

Presented by Dorothy Agyepong at the Language Documentation and Archiving Conference, Berlin & Online, 4-6 Sept, 2024 

 

In this talk, I report on three data collection methods I have used in documenting verbs of separation in Asante Twi, a Kwa language spoken in the Ashanti and Eastern Regions of Ghana. The methods are video-stimuli elicitation, procedural narratives and textual examples. For the video-stimuli elicitations, I tried to balance the universality with the locality by supplementing an MPI set of stimuli (Bohnemeyer et al. 2001) with comparable stimuli set (Agyepong 2015) for eliciting local cultural verbs for describing separations within the Asante Twi context. Whileboth stimuli portrayed various types of separations involving objects, the Agyepong (2015) videos depicted the separation of objects local to the Ghanaian context, for example, cassava, plantain, coco yam, palm fruit etc. For each of the set, participants were shown the videos 2-3 times and asked follow up questions in Asante Twi. All the elicitations and interviews were both video and audio recorded. For the second set of data, participants provided procedural narratives on events such the killing and cutting up of a chicken for food, the preparation of palm wine from a felled palm tree, the distillation of gin from palm wine as well as the harvesting of crops such as plantain and cocoa. The third set of data was compiled from written texts such as Asante Twi novels, an Akan book of proverbs, and Christaller’s (1933) Akan dictionary. These written sources, provided a range of contextualised uses of each of the verbs. From a methodological point of view, I address issues of ecological validity of the video stimuli; triangulation and how data generated by different methods either converge or diverge. I also attempt to answer the question “How adequate are the various methods in capturing the culture specific semantics of the verbs?”

Erythrothrips asiaticus Ramakrishna & Margabandhu, 1931: 1029
Known only from India, this species was described originally from two females taken from grass, but Rachana et al. (2020) recorded eight females and one male from Moringa oleifera. The latter authors redescribed the species and described the male for the first time. That description indicated that in females the maxillary palp segment II is fivesegmented but did not mention the condition of these palps in the male. Moreover, tergite IX of the male was stated to bear curved claspers. Recently, Dr Rachana kindly rechecked this male, and confirmed that the “claspers” are actually an artefact, and that the male maxillary palp segment II is undivided. With her help, we therefore conclude that in Aduncothrips the number of divisions on the maxillary palp segment II is sometimes sex-related, and that tergite IX is simple.
Some members of the family Aeolothripidae are obligate predators of small arthropods whereas other species feed on floral tissues as well as prey, and others are solely phytophagous. A. asiaticus were found to be predatory on several different Thripidae (Sureshkumar & Ananthakrishnan 1987), but particularly on Scirtothrips dorsalis, feeding on eggs, larvae, and adults. Unfortunately, the feeding habits of other Aduncothrips species are not yet clear, and more field observations are needed.

Presented by Julia Colleen Miller and Nick Ward at the Language Documentation and Archiving Conference, Berlin & Online, 4-6 Sept, 2024.

Established in 2003, the Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures (PARADISEC) is a collaboraBve project involving three Australian universiBes: The University of Sydney, The University of Melbourne, and the Australian NaBonal University. Serving as a digital archive and access plaLorm, PARADISEC focuses on preserving endangered materials from the Pacific region, encompassing Oceania, East, and Southeast Asia. These materials are primarily contributed by researchers specializing in LinguisBcs, Anthropology, Ethnomusicology, and related fields. OperaBng within academic research insBtuBons provides PARADISEC with direct engagement opportuniBes with students and researchers. Recognizing the importance of integraBng archival pracBces into terBary educaBon, PARADISEC has developed tailored curricula for linguisBcs, anthropology, and ethnomusicology. The curriculum emphasizes data management, archiving, and digital preservaBon, with a focus on safeguarding linguisBc and cultural heritage. Through pracBcal training sessions, students acquire essenBal skills for managing and preserving diverse data types, including linguisBc recordings and ethnographic materials. They are introduced to industry-standard tools and techniques for digiBzaBon, metadata creaBon, and ensuring long-term preservaBon. The integraBon of domain-specific archiving pracBces into terBary educaBon aligns with PARADISEC's mission to empower students and researchers in responsibly managing cultural and linguisBc resources. Originally designed for credited work placement programs and terBary classrooms, the curriculum has been successfully implemented at insBtuBons like Charles Sturt University and the University of Manchester. Its effecBveness has led to its adopBon for training staff, volunteers, and interested individuals, with growing interest in expanding its reach beyond occasional guest lectures in university classrooms.

description: Platystethynium (Platypatasson) fransseni (Ogloblin, 1946)
(Figs 18–26)
Platypatasson fransseni Ogloblin, 1946: 293; holotype ♀ (USNM). Type locality: Indonesia, Java, Bogor. Subba Rao, 1970: 664 (distribution, male description).
Remarks. Subba Rao (1970) briefly described and illustrated the male of this species, identified by him as Platypatasson fransseni, and his species identification is confirmed here. Subba Rao mentioned that he had remounted the 70 specimens, including 2 males, from Canada balsam into chloral hydrate but he did not state how many slides he had made. We borrowed the only two slides that could so far be found. Careful examination by both N. Dale-Skey (NHMUK) and J. Huber failed to locate either of the two male specimens on these slides. There should therefore be at least one other slide with these males. Twenty-two females on one slide (NHMUK), labelled: “New Guinea, Manaus.- 1932, J.L. Froggatt, ex eggs of locustid.” and “ Platypatasson fransseni A. Ogloblin B.R. Subba det. 1969” were examined. The mounting medium of the second slide, somewhat similarly labelled, was completely dark brown so almost nothing could be seen.
The head in dorsal view (Fig. 22), a pair of wings (Fig. 21) and two sets of antennae (Figs 18–20) from specimens on the first slide are illustrated for comparison with the wings and antennae of a paratype of P. fransseni in the CNC (Figs 23, 24). The short lateral seta on the vertex between the median ocellus and transverse trabecula is apparently absent. The fore wings are almost identical, with two distinct rows of microtrichia in the basal half beyond the apex of the venation, but the antennae vary slightly. Measurements are: clava length/width 2.12–2.60 (the two Papua New Guinea specimens) compared to 2.86 (the paratype). Simple inspection of the funicle segments, especially the apical segment, shows that length/width differs, in this case mainly because of apparently different orientation (dorsal versus lateral, especially the scape and pedicel) of each pair of antennae.
Distribution. Indonesia, Papua New Guinea.
