Type material.
Holotype. Trinidad & Tobago • Female, CNC; Curepe; 5. XII. 1978; Malaise trap; Voucher code: CNC 1180102. Paratype. Trinidad & Tobago • 1 Female, CNC 1180028.
Diagnostic description.
Lunules triangular and comparatively very high; fore wing with vein r arising around middle of pterostigma; propodeum mostly with punctures and rugulosities and with complete and strongly defined areola; T 1 parallel-sided and mostly smooth (only with fine sculpture laterally near posterior margin); T 2 mostly to entirely smooth and comparatively very transverse, its width at posterior margin 4.0 × its central length; tegula yellow, humeral complex yellow; pterostigma with pale spot on anterior 0.3; metafemur and posterior 0.5 of metatibia dark reddish brown; body color, including coxae, mostly dark reddish brown; body length: 2.18–2.30 mm; fore wing length: 2.50–2.55 mm. Among the species with smooth T 1 and T 2 and T 2 transverse, this species is characterized by a combination of its coloration (of tegula, humeral complex, pterostigma, legs), for sculpture (of T 1, T 2, propodeum) and for high lunules in scutellum. D. oiketicus is similar to D. hedylpetae but it has a complete areola in the propodeum and the metafemur is darker (see other points mentioned in the key above). The holotype and paratype specimens were collected in the same locality (Curepe) where Cruttwell (1974) recorded D. hedyleptae as a parasitoid of Oiketicus kirbyi (Psychidae); those specimens were identified by Paul Marsh (USNM) but we believe they actually belong to D. oiketicus. Therefore, in this paper we restrict D. hedyleptae to Puerto Rico and consider it as a parasitoid of Pyralidae, whereas D. oiketicus is here considered to include specimens from Trinidad & Tobago and is a parasitoid of Psychidae. Additionally, D. hedyleptae is probably gregarious (based on info from Muesebeck 1958: 444) whereas D. oiketicus is solitary (Cruttwell 1974: 145).

description: There are good reasons to perform a randomized controlled trial (RCT) even in early phases of clinical development. However, the low sample sizes in those settings lead to high variability of the treatment effect estimate. The variability could be reduced by adding external control data if available. For the common setting of suitable subject-level control group data only available from one external (clinical trial or real-world) data source, we evaluate different analysis options for estimating the treatment effect via hazard ratios. The impact of the external control data is usually guided by the level of similarity with the current RCT data. Such level of similarity can be determined via outcome and/or baseline covariate data comparisons. We provide an overview over existing methods, propose a novel option for a combined assessment of outcome and baseline data, and compare a selected set of approaches in a simulation study under varying assumptions regarding observable and unobservable confounder distributions using a time-to-event model. Our various simulation scenarios also reflect the differences between external clinical trial and real-world data. Data combinations via simple outcome-based borrowing or simple propensity score weighting with baseline covariate data are not recommended. Analysis options which conflate outcome and baseline covariate data perform best in our simulation study.

description: We present new functionality within PICASO, a state-of-the-art radiative transfer model for exoplanet and brown dwarf atmospheres, by developing a new pipeline that computes phase-resolved thermal emission (thermal phase curves) from three-dimensional (3D) models. Because PICASO is coupled to Virga, an open-source cloud code, we are able to produce cloudy phase curves with different sedimentation efficiencies ($f_{sed}$) and cloud condensate species. We present the first application of this new algorithm to hot Jupiter WASP-43b. Previous studies of the thermal emission of WASP-43b from Kataria et al. found good agreement between cloud-free models and dayside thermal emission, but an overestimation of the nightside flux, for which clouds have been suggested as a possible explanation. We use the temperature and vertical wind structure from the cloud-free 3D general circulation models of Kataria et al. and post-process it using PICASO, assuming that clouds form and affect the spectra. We compare our models to results from Kataria et al., including Hubble Space Telescope Wide-Field Camera 3 (WFC3) observations of WASP-43b from Stevenson et al. In addition, we compute phase curves for Spitzer at 3.6 and 4.5 $μm$ and compare them to observations from Stevenson et al. We are able to closely recover the cloud-free results, even though PICASO utilizes a coarse spatial grid. We find that cloudy phase curves provide much better agreement with the WFC3 and Spitzer nightside data, while still closely matching the dayside emission. This work provides the community with a convenient, user-friendly tool to interpret phase-resolved observations of exoplanet atmospheres using 3D models.

description: Inverse probability weighting (IPW) is frequently used to reduce or minimize the observed confounding in observational studies. IPW creates a pseudo-sample by weighting each individual by the inverse of the conditional probability of receiving the treatment level that he/she has actually received. In the pseudo-sample there is no variation among the multiple individuals generated by weighting the same individual in the original sample. This would reduce the variability of the data and therefore bias the variance estimate in the target population. Conventional variance estimation methods for IPW estimators generally ignore this underestimation and tend to produce biased estimates of variance. We here propose a more reasonable method that incorporates this source of variability by using parametric bootstrapping based on intra-stratum variability estimates. This approach firstly uses propensity score stratification and intra-stratum standard deviation to approximate the variability among multiple individuals generated based on a single individual whose propensity score falls within the corresponding stratum. The parametric bootstrapping is then used to incorporate the target variability by re-generating outcomes after adding a random error term to the original data. The performance of the proposed method is compared with three existing methods including the naïve model-based variance estimator, the nonparametric bootstrap variance estimator, and the robust variance estimator in the simulation section. An example of patients with sarcopenia is used to illustrate the implementation of the proposed approach. According to the results, the proposed approach has desirable statistical properties and can be easily implemented using the provided R code.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) can elicit unintended and even harmful content when misaligned with human values, posing severe risks to users and society. To mitigate these risks, current evaluation benchmarks predominantly employ expert-designed contextual scenarios to assess how well LLMs align with human values. However, the labor-intensive nature of these benchmarks limits their test scope, hindering their ability to generalize to the extensive variety of open-world use cases and identify rare but crucial long-tail risks. Additionally, these static tests fail to adapt to the rapid evolution of LLMs, making it hard to evaluate timely alignment issues. To address these challenges, we propose ALI-Agent, an evaluation framework that leverages the autonomous abilities of LLM-powered agents to conduct in-depth and adaptive alignment assessments. ALI-Agent operates through two principal stages: Emulation and Refinement. During the Emulation stage, ALI-Agent automates the generation of realistic test scenarios. In the Refinement stage, it iteratively refines the scenarios to probe long-tail risks. Specifically, ALI-Agent incorporates a memory module to guide test scenario generation, a tool-using module to reduce human labor in tasks such as evaluating feedback from target LLMs, and an action module to refine tests. Extensive experiments across three aspects of human values--stereotypes, morality, and legality--demonstrate that ALI-Agent, as a general evaluation framework, effectively identifies model misalignment. Systematic analysis also validates that the generated test scenarios represent meaningful use cases, as well as integrate enhanced measures to probe long-tail risks.

description: This entry focuses on one of the most widely known sub groups of the San-speaking people, the !Kung (self-referred to as (“Zhu|õasi”), specifically of the Nyae Nyae region, Namibia ca. 1950. The !Kung live in autonomous bands, which are comprised of a group of families residing together and “linked to one another and to the headman by kinship bonds” (Marshall, 1965:267). The headman is chiefly responsible for the band’s movements and regulation of the consumption of resources. While the !Kung are traditionally described as hunter-gatherers, they now also practice agriculture. There are no religious specialists among other than diviners and medicine men, who would be more accurately be characterized as ritual specialists or curers. The !Kung religious beliefs center around a greater and lesser god, spirits of the deceased, as well as occasional ceremonies. The religious group is best characterized as coterminous with the society itself.

description: The ubiquity of implicit feedback makes them the default choice to build modern recommender systems. Generally speaking, observed interactions are considered as positive samples, while unobserved interactions are considered as negative ones. However, implicit feedback is inherently noisy because of the ubiquitous presence of noisy-positive and noisy-negative interactions. Recently, some studies have noticed the importance of denoising implicit feedback for recommendations, and enhanced the robustness of recommendation models to some extent. Nonetheless, they typically fail to (1) capture the hard yet clean interactions for learning comprehensive user preference, and (2) provide a universal denoising solution that can be applied to various kinds of recommendation models. In this paper, we thoroughly investigate the memorization effect of recommendation models, and propose a new denoising paradigm, i.e., Self-Guided Denoising Learning (SGDL), which is able to collect memorized interactions at the early stage of the training (i.e., "noise-resistant" period), and leverage those data as denoising signals to guide the following training (i.e., "noise-sensitive" period) of the model in a meta-learning manner. Besides, our method can automatically switch its learning phase at the memorization point from memorization to self-guided learning, and select clean and informative memorized data via a novel adaptive denoising scheduler to improve the robustness. We incorporate SGDL with four representative recommendation models (i.e., NeuMF, CDAE, NGCF and LightGCN) and different loss functions (i.e., binary cross-entropy and BPR loss). The experimental results on three benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of SGDL over the state-of-the-art denoising methods like T-CE, IR, DeCA, and even state-of-the-art robust graph-based methods like SGCN and SGL.

description: We investigate the star formation occurring in the Planck Galactic cold clump PGCC 120.69+2.66. Near-infrared JHKs images and K-band spectroscopy obtained with NOTCam at the Nordic Optical Telescope complemented with archive data are used to study the stellar content. In addition, millimetre line CO and CS spectra were obtained with the Onsala 20 m telescope, and sub-millimetre continuum SCUBA archive data are used to characterise the host molecular cloud. We identify a molecular cloud core traced by CO and CS emission at a distance of 1.1 kpc. In the region studied, we identify 5 submm continuum cores. Embedded in and around these dense submm cores, we find 38 young stellar objects, classified as 9 Class I, 8 Class II, and 21 near-IR excess or variability sources, accompanied by bipolar nebulosities and signs of protostellar jets. Furthermore, a very bright and reddened source is found towards this molecular cloud core. Even though its location appears to suggest its association to the star formation region, its infrared spectral type is compatible with a red supergiant, hidden behind 36 mag of visual extinction.

description: We report our theoretical results on spin conductivity in antiferromagnets by focusing on the role of the magnetic toroidal quadrupole (MTQ) in electron systems. The MTQ is characterized as a time-reversal-odd rank-2 polar tensor degree of freedom in electrons, which is distinct from conventional rank-1 magnetic and magnetic toroidal dipoles. Based on a microscopic $sd$ model analysis for a tetragonal system under both collinear and noncollinear antiferromagnetic orderings, we clarify that the MTQ becomes a source of an extrinsic spin conductivity even with neither a uniform magnetization nor spin-orbit coupling. We also list all the magnetic point groups to accommodate the MTQs as a primary order parameter as well as the candidate antiferromagnetic materials.

description: Recent advances in vision-language foundational models, such as CLIP, have demonstrated significant strides in zero-shot classification. However, the extensive parameterization of models like CLIP necessitates a resource-intensive fine-tuning process. In response, TIP-Adapter and SuS-X have introduced training-free methods aimed at bolstering the efficacy of downstream tasks. While these approaches incorporate support sets to maintain data distribution consistency between knowledge cache and test sets, they often fall short in terms of generalization on the test set, particularly when faced with test data exhibiting substantial distributional variations. In this work, we present CapS-Adapter, an innovative method that employs a caption-based support set, effectively harnessing both image and caption features to exceed existing state-of-the-art techniques in training-free scenarios. CapS-Adapter adeptly constructs support sets that closely mirror target distributions, utilizing instance-level distribution features extracted from multimodal large models. By leveraging CLIP's single and cross-modal strengths, CapS-Adapter enhances predictive accuracy through the use of multimodal support sets. Our method achieves outstanding zero-shot classification results across 19 benchmark datasets, improving accuracy by 2.19\% over the previous leading method. Our contributions are substantiated through extensive validation on multiple benchmark datasets, demonstrating superior performance and robust generalization capabilities.

Year: 2018

description: The rigid pavements, especially parking aprons, at a military airbase, are regularly exposed to aviation oils (engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and jet oil) and varied lengths of repetitive cyclic heat shocks. As a result, rapid surface scaling occurs at the top layer of the concrete pavement. Chemical analyses revealed that aviation oils contain sufficient chemical compounds to create surface scaling in the presence of high temperature. Therefore, to repair and construct of a military airbase, a geopolymer cement or different polymer-modified types of cement are recommended as binders instead of ordinary Portland cement. In addition to that the expanded shale, expanded slate and traprock aggregates are suggested to use as coarse aggregates as they offer lower thermal expansion coefficient than other siliceous aggregates.

description: Video search has become the main routine for users to discover videos relevant to a text query on large short-video sharing platforms. During training a query-video bi-encoder model using online search logs, we identify a modality bias phenomenon that the video encoder almost entirely relies on text matching, neglecting other modalities of the videos such as vision, audio. This modality imbalanceresults from a) modality gap: the relevance between a query and a video text is much easier to learn as the query is also a piece of text, with the same modality as the video text; b) data bias: most training samples can be solved solely by text matching. Here we share our practices to improve the first retrieval stage including our solution for the modality imbalance issue. We propose MBVR (short for Modality Balanced Video Retrieval) with two key components: manually generated modality-shuffled (MS) samples and a dynamic margin (DM) based on visual relevance. They can encourage the video encoder to pay balanced attentions to each modality. Through extensive experiments on a real world dataset, we show empirically that our method is both effective and efficient in solving modality bias problem. We have also deployed our MBVR in a large video platform and observed statistically significant boost over a highly optimized baseline in an A/B test and manual GSB evaluations.

description: Abstract: This paper presents language as a scenario where the word in its multiple manifestations constitutes a symbolic field around which reality is constructed (as it is not unusual for someone to want to control it). It is briefly explained how in the processes of cultural plundering in Latin America, the word as a technology of power was taken by the barbarians to subjugate and steal the peoples of Abya-Yala. To exemplify the resistance that occurs in language, some photographs of murals, graffiti and artistic interventions corresponding to the social outbreak in Colombia in 2021 are selected. And two examples of reading education programs that link political memory. However, in the struggle for the domination of words and the need to say, there is a resistance to the plundering of language that aims to take back the word, to resist the silencing of subaltern voices and to guarantee human rights. Thus, the act of resisting the violent dispossession of words is presented as a question of dignity, which is directed towards forms of communal organization where, through language, spaces can be promoted to uphold life, the human condition.

description: We apply the topological theory of symmetry indicators to interaction-induced exciton band structures in centrosymmetric semiconductors. Crucially, we distinguish between the topological invariants inherited from the underlying electron and hole bands, and those that are intrinsic to the exciton wavefunction itself. Focusing on the latter, we show that there exists a class of exciton bands for which the maximally-localised exciton Wannier states are shifted with respect to the electronic Wannier states by a quantised amount; we call these excitons shift excitons. Our analysis explains how the exciton spectrum can be topologically nontrivial and sustain exciton edge states in open boundary conditions even when the underlying noninteracting bands have a trivial atomic limit. We demonstrate the presence of shift excitons as the lowest energy neutral excitations of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model in its trivial phase when supplemented by local two-body interactions, and show that they can be accessed experimentally in local optical conductivity measurements.

description: The link between the metamagnetic transition and novel spin-triplet superconductivity of UTe$_2$ was discussed thermodynamically through magnetostriction measurements in a pulsed-magnetic field. We revealed a discontinuous magnetostriction across the metamagnetic transition at $μ_0H_{\rm m}\approx 35$~T for the applied magnetic fields along the crystallographic $b$ axis in the orthorhombic structure. The resultanting volume magnetostriction of $ΔV/V \approx-5.9\times 10^{-4}$ gives the initial pressure dependence of $H_{\rm m}$ by employing the Clausius-Clapeyron's equation, which agrees with previous pressure experiments. Further, significant anisotropic magnetostriction (AMS), derived by subtracting the averaged linear magnetostriction, was revealed. Contrary to the weakly field-dependent AMS along the $a$ axis, those along the $b$ and $c$ axes show strong field dependences with a similar magnitude but with opposite signs, indicating its lattice instability. The relationship between characteristic energy scales of magnetic fields and temperatures was discussed in terms of the Grüneisen parameters compared to the other $f$-electron systems. The volume shrinkage in UTe$_2$ at $H_{\rm m}$, contrary to the volume expansion in typical heavy fermion metamagnets, pushes to invoke the link with the valence instability related to the itinerant-localized dual nature of the U magnetism.

description: Reaching high densities is a key step towards cold-collision experiments with polyatomic molecules. We use a cryofuge to load up to 2$\times10^7$ CH$_3$F molecules into a box-like electric trap, achieving densities up to 10$^7$/cm$^3$ at temperatures around 350 mK where the elastic dipolar cross-section exceeds 7$\times$10$^{-12}$cm$^2$. We measure inelastic rate constants below 4$\times$10$^{-8}$cm$^3$/s and control these by tuning a homogeneous electric field that covers a large fraction of the trap volume. Comparison to ab-initio calculations gives excellent agreement with dipolar relaxation. Our techniques and findings are generic and immediately relevant for other cold-molecule collision experiments.

description: The design automation of analog circuits is a longstanding challenge. This paper presents a reinforcement learning method enhanced by graph learning to automate the analog circuit parameter optimization at the pre-layout stage, i.e., finding device parameters to fulfill desired circuit specifications. Unlike all prior methods, our approach is inspired by human experts who rely on domain knowledge of analog circuit design (e.g., circuit topology and couplings between circuit specifications) to tackle the problem. By originally incorporating such key domain knowledge into policy training with a multimodal network, the method best learns the complex relations between circuit parameters and design targets, enabling optimal decisions in the optimization process. Experimental results on exemplary circuits show it achieves human-level design accuracy (99%) 1.5X efficiency of existing best-performing methods. Our method also shows better generalization ability to unseen specifications and optimality in circuit performance optimization. Moreover, it applies to design radio-frequency circuits on emerging semiconductor technologies, breaking the limitations of prior learning methods in designing conventional analog circuits.

description: Our research sought to address the extent to which the northern snakehead (Channa
argus), an invasive fish species, represents a threat to the Potomac River ecosystem. The
first goal of our research was to survey the perceptions and opinions of recreational
anglers on the effects of the snakehead population in the Potomac River ecosystem. To
determine angler perceptions, we created and administered 113 surveys from June –
September 2014 at recreational boat ramps along the Potomac River. Our surveys were
designed to expand information collected during previous surveys conducted by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service. Our results indicated recreational anglers perceive that
abundances and catch rates of target species, specifically largemouth bass, have declined
since snakehead became established in the river.
The second goal of our research was to determine the genetic diversity and
potential of the snakehead population to expand in the Potomac River. We hypothesized
that the effective genetic population size would be much less than the census size of the
snakehead population in the Potomac River. We collected tissue samples (fin clippings)
from 79 snakehead collected in a recreational tournament held between Fort Washington
and Wilson’s Landing, MD on the Potomac River and from electrofishing sampling
conducted by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources in Pomonkey Creek, a
tributary of the Potomac River. DNA was extracted from the tissue samples and scored
for 12 microsatellite markers, which had previously been identified for Potomac River
snakehead. Microsatellite allele frequency data were recorded and analyzed in the
software programs GenAlEx and NeEstimator to estimate heterozygosity and effective
genetic population size. Resampling simulations indicated that the number of
microsatellites and the number of fish analyzed provided sufficient precision. Simulations
indicated that the effective population size estimate would expect to stabilize for samples
> 70 individual snakehead. Based on a sample of 79 fish scored for 12 microsatellites, we
calculated an Ne of 15.3 individuals. This is substantially smaller than both the sample
size and estimated population size. We conclude that genetic diversity in the snakehead
population in the Potomac River is low because the population has yet to recover from a
genetic bottleneck associated with a founder effect due to their recent introduction into
the system.
