description: We explore the application of the reference map technique, originally developed for the Eulerian simulation of solid mechanics, in Lagrangian kinematics of fluid flows. Unlike traditional methods based on explicit particle tracking, the reference map facilitates the calculation of flow maps and gradients without the need for particles. This is achieved through an Eulerian update of the reference map, which records the take-off positions of fluid particles. Using the reference map, measures of Lagrangian fluid-element deformation can be computed solely from Eulerian data, such as displacement, deformation gradient, Cauchy-Green tensor, and Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent (FTLE) fields. We first demonstrate the accuracy of FTLE calculations based on the reference map against the standard particle-based approach in a 2D Taylor-Green vortex. Then, we apply it to turbulent channel flow at $Re_τ=180$ where Lagrangian coherent structures identified as ridges of the backward-time FTLE are found to bound vortical regions of flow, consistent with Eulerian coherent structures from the Q-criterion. The reference map also proves suitable for material surface tracking despite not explicitly tracking particles. This capability can provide valuable insights into the Lagrangian landscape of turbulent momentum transport, complementing Eulerian velocity-field analysis. The evolution of initially wall-normal material surfaces in the viscous sublayer, buffer layer, and log layer sheds light on the Reynolds stress-generating events from a Lagrangian perspective. Eliminating the need for tracking numerous particles, the reference map approach offers a convenient and promising avenue for future investigations into Lagrangian kinematics and dynamics of fluid flows.

description: Compound flows consist of two or more parallel compressible streams in a duct and their theoretical treatment has gained attention for the analysis and modelling of ejectors. Recent works have shown that these flows can experience choking upstream of the geometric throat. While it is well known that friction can push the sonic section downstream the throat, no mechanism has been identified yet to explain its displacement in the opposite direction. This study extends the existing compound flow theory and proposes a 1D model, including friction between the streams and the duct walls. The model captures the upstream and downstream displacements of the sonic section. Through an analytical investigation of the singularity at the sonic section, it is demonstrated that friction between the streams is the primary driver of upstream displacement. The 1D formulation is validated against axisymmetric Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations of a compound nozzle for various inlet pressure and geometries. The effect of friction is investigated using an inviscid simulation for the isentropic case and viscous simulations with both slip and no-slip conditions at the wall. The proposed extension accurately captures the displacement of the sonic section, offering a new tool for in-depth analysis and modeling of internal compound flows.

Known stages. I ♀
Diagnosis. Female imago: 1) forewing with pigmented C, Sc and R1 areas, extending beyond R1 but not forming bands (Fig. 19 C); 2) forewing with thick cross veins in C and Sc areas (Fig. 19 C); 3) marginal intercalary veins single (Fig. 19 C); 4) hind wing with one intercalary marginal vein (Fig. 19 C); 5) hind wing with quadrangular costal process; 6) body covered with brown spots (Fig. 19 B); 7) anterolateral spots on abdominal terga and sterna present (Fig. 19 B).
Complementary description. Female imago: Thorax. Covered with brownish spots. Wings. Forewing (Fig. 19 C) pigmentation extending beyond R1 but not forming bands; veins light brown; C, Sc and R1 areas with thick cross veins; stigmatic area with 2–3 cross veins touching and 3–4 not touching subcostal vein; marginal intercalary veins single; length of each intercalary vein 0.41 × distance between adjacent longitudinal veins; length of forewing about 2.4 × width. Hind wing hyaline (Fig. 19 C) and with 14 cross veins; one intercalary marginal vein present. Abdomen. Terga covered with brown spots, with spot anterolaterally (Fig. 19 B). Sterna with spot anterolaterally (Fig. 19 B). Caudal filaments lost.
Comments. Vinasco-Mondragón & Zúñiga (2016) recorded C. viviparus and C. (C.) radiatus in Colombia based on female imagoes. The morphological evidence to differentiate both species was the shape of the costal process of the hind wing (round in C. viviparus and truncante or quadrangular in C. (C.) radiatus). Studying the holotype of C. viviparus (mounted on a slide), we observed that one peak of the costal process is turned inward, appearing to be rounded. Thus, the morphological evidence presented by Vinasco-Mondragón & Zúñiga (2016) and Cruz et al. (2014) is not corroborated, not allowing the differentiation of both species. Taking into account the new evidence, association between stages should be made in order to confirm or refute the records from Colombia.
Material examined. Callibaetis viviparus, female imago (holotype, slide), Brazil, Mato Grosso state, Corumbá municipality, 14.xii.1919, Cornell University n° 643.

Lycosa traillii O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1873: 524, pl. 46, fig. 1 (♂ ♀, only ♀ illustrated).
Pardosa trailli: Roberts 1985: 134, fig. 60a (♂ ♀); Kronestedt 2004: 283, figs. 2, 7–8, 12, 14, 18, 25–26, 29 (♂ ♀); Almquist 2005: 230 (in part) fig. 227a (malformed ♂ -palp).
Type material. Lectotype ♂ from Scotland: Grampian, Braemar, in Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Oxford, UK (Kronestedt 2004).
Material examined. See Kronestedt (2004).
Comments. This species was recently described by Almquist (2005), where, regrettably, he made a partial confusion with P. eiseni. His figs 227a–e is said to illustrate the male and female of P. trailli. Figs 227a–b shows a palp of P. trailli but it is malformed (notably distal part of cymbium). A drawing of a normal male is therefore given in this paper (Fig. 19). Fig. 227d in Almquist (2005), however, shows the dorsal (inner) view of an epigyne of P. eiseni (in which the horn-like structures containing fertilization ducts are close at midline of epigyne, contrary to the configuration in P. trailli (cf. Figs 99 & 113).
This species is restricted to Britain and Scandinavia (Fig. 128). The record from the Faroe Islands (Schenkel 1925) was given as P. eiseni but the accompanying illustration most probably shows a female of P. trailli. It remains to be investigated whether the disjunct occurrence in Scandinavia (cf. map in Kronestedt 2004) is due to lack of collecting activities.
Habitat. Open stony ground (e.g. scree slopes) in mountains. In Britain, P. trailli is recorded from 730-1300 m asl. In Sweden, it is found on high mountains close to or above timberline. In Norway, it is a pioneer species in alpine glacier foreland (Bråten et al. 2012).
Distribution (Fig. 128). This species is known from Britain,? Faroe Islands (Denmark), Norway and Sweden.

description: Life is a complex, dynamic chemical system that requires a dense fluid solvent in which to take place. A common assumption is that the most likely solvent for life is liquid water, and some researchers argue that water is the only plausible solvent. However, a persistent theme in astrobiological research postulates that other liquids might be cosmically common, and could be solvents for the chemistry of life. In this paper we present a new framework for the analysis of candidate solvents for life, and deploy this framework to review substances that have been suggested as solvent candidates. We categorize each solvent candidate through four criteria: occurrence, solvation, solute stability and solvent chemical functionality. Our semi-quantitative approach addresses all the requirements for a solvent not only from the point of view of its chemical properties but also from the standpoint of their biochemical function. Only the protonating solvents fulfil all the chemical requirements to be a solvent for life, and of those only water and concentrated sulfuric acid are also likely to be abundant in a rocky planetary context. Among the non-protonating solvents liquid CO2 stands out as a planetary solvent, and its potential as a solvent for life should be explored. We conclude with a discussion of whether it is possible for a biochemistry to change solvents, as an adaptation to radical changes in a planet's environment. Our analysis provides the basis for prioritizing future experimental work exploring potential complex chemistry on other planets.

description: In [1], we initiated a program for the quantitative investigation of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and resonant bound states in QCD with the functional renormalisation group, concentrating on the full infrared dynamics of four-quark scatterings. In the present work we extend this study and take into account a three-momentum channel approximation ($s,t,u$-channel) for the Fierz-complete four-quark vertices. We find that the four-quark vertex in this approximation is quantitatively reliable. In particular, we have computed the pion pole mass, pion decay constant, Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes, the quark mass function and wave function. Our results confirm previous findings that low energy effective theories only reproduce QCD quantitatively, if initiated with a relatively low ultraviolet cutoff scale of the order of 500 MeV. The quantitative description set up here paves the way for reliable quantitative access to the resonance structure in QCD within the fRG approach to QCD.

From OTFS to AFDM: A Comparative Study of Next-Generation Waveforms for ISAC in Doubly-Dispersive Channels

description: Next-generation wireless systems will offer integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) functionalities not only in order to enable new applications, but also as a means to mitigate challenges such as doubly-dispersive channels, which arise in high mobility scenarios and/or at millimeter-wave (mmWave) and Terahertz (THz) bands. An emerging approach to accomplish these goals is the design of new waveforms, which draw from the inherent relationship between the doubly-dispersive nature of time-variant (TV) channels and the environmental features of scatterers manifested in the form of multi-path delays and Doppler shifts. Examples of such waveforms are the delay-Doppler domain orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) and the recently proposed chirp domain affine frequency division multiplexing (AFDM), both of which seek to simultaneously combat the detrimental effects of double selectivity and exploit them for the estimation (or sensing) of environmental information. This article aims to provide a consolidated and comprehensive overview of the signal processing techniques required to support reliable ISAC over doubly-dispersive channels in beyond fifth generation (B5G)/sixth generation (6G) systems, with an emphasis on OTFS and AFDM waveforms, as those, together with the traditional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform, suffice to elaborate on the most relevant properties of the trend. The analysis shows that OTFS and AFDM indeed enable significantly improved robustness against inter-carrier interference (ICI) arising from Doppler shifts compared to OFDM. In addition, the inherent delay-Doppler domain orthogonality of the OTFS and AFDM effective channels is found to provide significant advantages for the design and the performance of integrated sensing functionalities.

description: Inequality (concentration) curves such as Lorenz, Bonferroni, Zenga curves, as well as a new inequality curve – the D curve, are broadly used to analyse inequalities in wealth and income distribution in certain populations. Quantile versions of these inequality curves are more robust to outliers. We discuss several parametric estimators of quantile versions of the Zenga and D curves. A minimum distance (MD) estimator is proposed for these two curves and the indices related to them. The consistency and asymptotic normality of the MD estimator is proved. The MD estimator can also be used to estimate the inequality measures corresponding to the quantile versions of the inequality curves. The estimation methods considered are illustrated in the case of the Weibull model, which has many applications in life sciences, for example, to fit the precipitation data. In econometrics it is also considered to fit incomes, especially in the case when a significant share of population have low incomes, for example, in less developed countries or among low-paid jobs.

description: Large-scale quantum networks rely on optical fiber networks and photons as so-called flying qubits for information transport. While dispersion and absorption of optical fibers are minimum at the infrared telecom wavelengths, most atomic and solid state platforms operate at visible or near-infrared wavelengths. Quantum frequency conversion is required to bridge these two wavelength regimes, and nonlinear crystals are currently employed for this process. Here, we report on a novel approach of frequency conversion to the telecom band. This interaction is based on coherent Stokes Raman scattering (CSRS), a four-wave mixing process resonantly enhanced in a dense molecular hydrogen gas. We show the conversion of photons from \SI{863}{\nano\meter} to the telecom O-Band and demonstrate that the input polarization state is preserved. This process is intrinsically broad-band and can be adapted to any other wavelength.

An optimization-based equilibrium measure describes non-equilibrium steady state dynamics: application to edge of chaos

description: Understanding neural dynamics is a central topic in machine learning, non-linear physics and neuroscience. However, the dynamics is non-linear, stochastic and particularly non-gradient, i.e., the driving force can not be written as gradient of a potential. These features make analytic studies very challenging. The common tool is the path integral approach or dynamical mean-field theory, but the drawback is that one has to solve the integro-differential or dynamical mean-field equations, which is computationally expensive and has no closed form solutions in general. From the aspect of associated Fokker-Planck equation, the steady state solution is generally unknown. Here, we treat searching for the steady states as an optimization problem, and construct an approximate potential related to the speed of the dynamics, and find that searching for the ground state of this potential is equivalent to running an approximate stochastic gradient dynamics or Langevin dynamics. Only in the zero temperature limit, the distribution of the original steady states can be achieved. The resultant stationary state of the dynamics follows exactly the canonical Boltzmann measure. Within this framework, the quenched disorder intrinsic in the neural networks can be averaged out by applying the replica method, which leads naturally to order parameters for the non-equilibrium steady states. Our theory reproduces the well-known result of edge-of-chaos, and further the order parameters characterizing the continuous transition are derived, and the order parameters are explained as fluctuations and responses of the steady states. Our method thus opens the door to analytically study the steady state landscape of the deterministic or stochastic high dimensional dynamics.

Description. Shape (Fig.3A). Bushy to flabelliform, 12 cm high by 15 cm wide, on short peduncle; with multiple branches, fused at base.
Colour. Beige, orange.
Oscula. Inconspicuous, irregularly distributed, with raised or flushed transparent rims, less than 1 cm.
Surface. Pierced by subectosomal spicules, covered with flat and broad projections, in rows, longitudinally oriented.
Skeleton (Fig.3B–C). Without ectosome specialisation. Choanosomal skeleton plumose and axially compressed. Extra-axial skeleton mostly halichondroid, but with longitudinal plumose-halichondroid axes diverging towards periphery.
Spicules (Fig.3D, Table 2). Mixture of oxeas, thick and thin, styles, thick and thin anisoxeas in a large size range, 138.4–708.3 x 5.9–22.2 µm.
Remarks. The material examined is assigned to Axinella provisionally for several reasons. The skeleton is axially compressed from which plumose tracts diverge in confusion towards surface. The spicule composition consists of oxeas and styles. It shares characteristics of the external shape, surface, and skeleton with dictyonellid genera such as Acanthella, but it lacks the typical strongyles that form part of the skeleton of that genus; or Phakettia, where the skeleton is usually formed by large styles; or Dictyonella, where there are no oxeas in the spicule complement and species are generally lobate. The skeleton and surface characteristics also resemble the doubtful axinellid genus Reniochalina, (Alvarez & Hooper 2009), but no sign of spination in the megascleres was found. The material might also belong to a new genus not related to Axinellidae. Thus additional, independent evidence from genetic studies is necessary to conclude with reliability the generic position of this species.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality (Fig. 2). Found between 15–25 m depth.
Etymology. Named after the type locality.

description: Gravitational microlensing is a phenomenon that allows us to observe dark remnants of stellar evolution even if they no longer emit electromagnetic radiation. In particular, it can be useful to observe solitary neutron stars or stellar-mass black holes, providing a unique window through which to understand stellar evolution. Obtaining direct mass measurements with this technique requires precise observations of both the change in brightness and the position of the microlensed star. The European Space Agency's Gaia satellite can provide both. Using publicly available data from different surveys, we analysed events published in the Gaia Data Release 3 (Gaia DR3) microlensing catalogue. Here we describe our selection of candidate dark lenses, where we suspect the lens is a white dwarf (WD), a neutron star (NS), a black hole (BH), or a mass-gap object, with a mass in a range between the heaviest NS and the least massive BH. We estimated the mass of the lenses using information obtained from the best-fitting microlensing models, the source star, the Galactic model and the expected distribution of the parameters. We found eleven candidates for dark remnants: one WDs, three NS, three mass-gap objects, and four BHs.
