description: It was shown recently that the Force Feedback Microscope can avoid the jump-to-contact in Atomic force Microscopy even when the cantilevers used are very soft, thus increasing force resolution. In this letter, we explore theoretical aspects of the associated real time control of the tip position. We take into account lever parameters such as the lever characteristics in its environment, spring constant, mass, dissipation coefficient and the operating conditions such as controller gains, and interaction force. We show how the controller parameters are determined so that the FFM functions at its best and estimate the bandwidth of the system under these conditions.

description: The 3D MIMO code is a robust and efficient space-time coding scheme for the distributed MIMO broadcasting. However, it suffers from the high computational complexity if the optimal maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding is used. In this paper we first investigate the unique properties of the 3D MIMO code and consequently propose a simplified decoding algorithm without sacrificing the ML optimality. Analysis shows that the decoding complexity is reduced from O(M^8) to O(M^{4.5}) in quasi-static channels when M-ary square QAM constellation is used. Moreover, we propose an efficient implementation of the simplified ML decoder which achieves a much lower decoding time delay compared to the classical sphere decoder with Schnorr-Euchner enumeration.

description: The affective state of an individual can be determined using physiological parameters; an important metric that can then be extracted is attention. Looking more closely at compact EEGs, algorithms have been implemented in such devices that can measure the attention and other affective states of the user. No information about these algorithms is available; are these feature classification algorithms accurate? An experiment was conducted with 23 subjects who utilized a pedagogical agent to learn the syntax of the programming language Java while having their attention measured by the NeuroSky MindWave Mobile 2. Using a concurrent validity approach, the attention values measured were compared to band powers, as well as measures of task performance. The results of the experiment were in part successful and supportive of the claim that the EEG device’s attention algorithm does in fact represent a user’s attention accurately. The results of the analysis based on raw data captured from the device were consistent with previous literature. Inconclusive results were obtained relating to task performance and attention.
Total variation approximations and conditional limit theorems for multivariate regularly varying random walks conditioned on ruin

description: We study a new technique for the asymptotic analysis of heavy-tailed systems conditioned on large deviations events. We illustrate our approach in the context of ruin events of multidimensional regularly varying random walks. Our approach is to study the Markov process described by the random walk conditioned on hitting a rare target set. We construct a Markov chain whose transition kernel can be evaluated directly from the increment distribution of the associated random walk. This process is shown to approximate the conditional process of interest in total variation. Then, by analyzing the approximating process, we are able to obtain asymptotic conditional joint distributions and a conditional functional central limit theorem of several objects such as the time until ruin, the whole random walk prior to ruin, and the overshoot on the target set. These types of joint conditional limit theorems have been obtained previously in the literature only in the one dimensional case. In addition to using different techniques, our results include features that are qualitatively different from the one dimensional case. For instance, the asymptotic conditional law of the time to ruin is no longer purely Pareto as in the multidimensional case.

description: Objectives: COVID-19 infections in the community have the potential to overwhelm both prehospital and in-hospital resources. Transport of well-appearing patients, in the absence of available emergency department treatment capacity, increases strain on the hospital and EMS system. In May of 2020, the Connecticut Office of EMS issued a voluntary, EMS-initiated, non-transport protocol for selected low-risk patients with symptoms consistent with COVID-19. We evaluated the implementation of this non-transport protocol in a mixed urban/suburban EMS system. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of contemporaneously recorded quality improvement documentation for uses of the Connecticut COVID-19 non-transport protocol by EMS clinicians within our EMS system during two implementations: from 12/14/2020 to 5/1/21, and again from 1/3/22 to 2/18/22, which coincided with large COVID-19 case surges in our region. Results: The vast majority of patients treated under the non-transport protocol were not reevaluated by EMS or in our emergency departments in the subsequent 24 hours. There was reasonable adherence to the protocol, with 83% of cases appropriate for the non-transport protocol. The most common reasons for protocol violations were age outside of protocol scope (pediatric patients), failure of documentation, or vital signs outside of the established protocol parameters. We did not find an increased 24-hour ED visit rate in patients who were inappropriately triaged to the protocol. Of patients who had ED visits within 24 hours, only two were admitted, none to higher levels of care. Conclusion: Within this small study, EMS clinicians in our system were able to safely and accurately apply a non-transport protocol for patients presenting with symptoms consistent with COVID-19. This is consistent with previous literature suggesting that EMS-initiated non-transport is a viable strategy to reduce the burden on health systems.

description: A recent model showed how a clay shrinkage curve is step-by-step transformed into the shrinkage curve of an aggregated soil at any clay content if it is measured on samples so small that cracks do not occur at shrinkage. Such a shrinkage curve was called a reference curve. The present work generalizes this model to any soil sample size or layer thickness, i.e., to any crack contribution to the shrinkage curve. The approach is based on: (i) recently suggested features of an intra-aggregate structure; (ii) detailed accounting for the contributions to the soil volume and water content during shrinkage; and (iii) new concepts of lacunar factor, crack factor, and critical sample size. The following input parameters are needed for the prediction: (i) all parameters determining the basic dependence of the reference shrinkage curve; (ii) parameters determining the critical sample size (structural porosity and minimum and maximum aggregate size at maximum swelling); and (iii) initial sample size or layer thickness. A primary experimental validation of the new model concepts is conducted using the relevant available data on the shrinkage curves of four soils with different texture and structure that were obtained utilizing the samples of two essentially different sizes. The results show evidence in favor of the model.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted access to routine in-person prenatal care, potentially leading to higher risk of out-of-hospital deliveries. Unplanned out-of-hospital deliveries pose a substantial risk of morbidity and mortality for pregnant patients and newborns. Our objective was to determine the change in rate of emergency medical services (EMS)-attended out-of-hospital deliveries during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesized that COVID-19-related stay-at-home orders were associated with a higher rate of out-of-hospital deliveries during the initial wave of COVID-19. We conducted an interrupted time series analysis using the 2019 and 2020 National EMS Information System datasets. We included 9-1-1 scene activations for patients 12-50 years old with out-of-hospital deliveries who were treated and transported by EMS. We calculated the weekly rate of deliveries per 100,000 EMS emergency activations each year overall, and for each census division. The interruption modeled was the enactment of stay-at-home orders, with March 25-31 selected as when most orders had been enacted. We fit ordinary least squares regression models with Newey-West standard errors to adjust for autocorrelation, testing for a change in level and slope overall and by census division. A total of 10,778 out-of-hospital deliveries were included, 58% (n = 6,254) in 2020. The mean weekly rate of out-of-hospital deliveries in 2019 was 29.4 per 100,000 activations (95% CI: 28.4 to 30.4) versus 33.0 (95% CI: 31.8 to 34.1) in 2020. There was an immediate increase of 6.3 deliveries per 100,000 activations (95% CI: 3.3 to 9.3) after the week of March 25-31, with a subsequent decrease of 0.3 deliveries per 100,000 per week after (95% CI: −0.4 to −0.2). There were also statistically significant immediate increases in out-of-hospital deliveries after March 25-31 in the New England, East North Central, West South Central, and Mountain divisions. EMS-attended out-of-hospital deliveries remained rare during the COVID-19 pandemic, but there was an immediate increase during the initial wave of the pandemic with evidence of geographic variation. Large-scale disruptions in the health care system may result in increases in uncommon patient presentations to EMS.

description: We determine the extinction law through Cep OB3b, a young cluster of 3000 stars undergoing gas dispersal. The extinction is measured toward 76 background K giants identified with MMT/Hectospec spectra. Color excess ratios were determined toward each of the giants using $V$ and $R$ photometry from the literature, $g$,$r$,$i$ and $z$ photometry from SDSS and $J$, $H$, and $K_{s}$ photometry from 2MASS. These color excess ratios were the used to construct the extinction law through the dusty material associated with Cep OB3b. The extinction law through Cep OB3b is intermediate between the $R_{V} = 3.1$ and $R_{V} = 5$ laws commonly used for the diffuse atomic ISM and dense molecular clouds, respectively. The dependence of the extinction law on line-of-sight $A_{V}$ is investigated and we find the extinction law becomes shallower for regions with $A_{V} > 2.5$ magnitudes. We speculate that the intermediate dust law results from dust processing during the dispersal of the molecular cloud by the cluster.

description: Anchoring ranks amongst the most robust phenomena in (social) psychology and decision-making (Furnham & Boo, 2011; Klein et al., 2014). The anchoring-and-adjustment heuristic posits that individuals adjust in serial steps away from an anchor until they reach a plausible estimate and terminate the adjustment process (prematurely). The present study will use an online experiment to gain a deeper understanding of the psychological processes going on during anchor adjustment. Specifically, we seek to investigate whether and to what extent participants adjust away from the anchor unidirectionally, bidirectionally, in one single step, or in any other way.

description: Thematic analysis and other variants of inductive coding are widely used qualitative analytic methods within empirical legal studies (ELS). We propose a novel framework facilitating effective collaboration of a legal expert with a large language model (LLM) for generating initial codes (phase 2 of thematic analysis), searching for themes (phase 3), and classifying the data in terms of the themes (to kick-start phase 4). We employed the framework for an analysis of a dataset (n=785) of facts descriptions from criminal court opinions regarding thefts. The goal of the analysis was to discover classes of typical thefts. Our results show that the LLM, namely OpenAI's GPT-4, generated reasonable initial codes, and it was capable of improving the quality of the codes based on expert feedback. They also suggest that the model performed well in zero-shot classification of facts descriptions in terms of the themes. Finally, the themes autonomously discovered by the LLM appear to map fairly well to the themes arrived at by legal experts. These findings can be leveraged by legal researchers to guide their decisions in integrating LLMs into their thematic analyses, as well as other inductive coding projects.

description: Triply resonant three mode interactions in long optical cavities have been shown to lead to enhanced scattering of carrier light by the ultrasonic acoustic modes of the test mass mirrors. At high optical power, this can lead to parametric instability (parametric gain R > 1) for a few acoustic modes with strong spectral and spatial overlap. Numerous ?~10^3 acoustic modes of the test masses are predicted to have R > 10^2. Experimental studies have shown that such modes also strongly scatter the carrier light, enabling very sensitive readout of the acoustic modes. The 3-mode scattering from the thermal fluctuation of large population of ultrasonic modes would causes random changes in occupation number of the carrier light and cavity transverse optical modes. Because the thermal fluctuation time scale (set by the acoustic mode relaxation times) is typically a few seconds, the noise spectrum from thermally induced photon number fluctuations is strongly peaked at low frequency. The noise level depends on the acoustic mode structure and acoustic losses of the test masses, the transverse optical mode spectrum of the optical cavities and on the test mass temperature. We theoretically investigate the possible effect of this noise and show that in advanced detectors under construction three mode interaction noise is below the standard quantum limit, but could set limits on future low frequency detectors that aim to exceed the free mass standard quantum limit.

description: Biological membranes by virtue of their elastic properties should be capable of propagating localized perturbations analogous to sound waves. However, the existence and the possible role of such waves in communication in biology remains unexplored. Here we report the first observations of 2D solitary elastic pulses in lipid interfaces, excited mechanically and detected by FRET. We demonstrate that the nonlinearity near a maximum in the susceptibility of the lipid monolayer results in solitary pulses that also have a threshold for excitation. These experiments clearly demonstrate that the state of the interface regulates the propagation of pulses both qualitatively and quantitatively. We elaborate on the striking similarity of the observed phenomenon to nerve pulse propagation and a thermodynamic basis of cell signaling in general.

description: We present a detailed study of the stellar and HI structure of the dwarf irregular galaxies SextansA and SextansB, members of the NGC3109 association. We use newly obtained deep (r~26.5) and wide field g,r photometry to extend the Surface Brightness (SB) profiles of the two galaxies down to mu_V~ 31.0 mag/arcsec^2. We find that both galaxies are significantly more extended than what previously traced with surface photometry, out to ~4 kpc from their centers along their major axis. Older stars are found to have more extended distribution with respect to younger populations. We obtain the first estimate of the mean metallicity for the old stars in SexB, from the color distribution of the Red Giant Branch, =-1.6. The SB profiles show significant changes of slope and cannot be fitted with a single Sersic model. Both galaxies have HI discs as massive as their respective stellar components. In both cases the HI discs display solid-body rotation with maximum amplitude of ~50 km/s (albeit with significant uncertainty due to the poorly constrained inclination), implying a dynamical mass ~10^{9}~M_sun, a mass-to-light ratio M/L_V~25 and a dark-to-barionic mass ratio of ~10. The distribution of the stellar components is more extended than the gaseous disc in both galaxies. We find that the main, approximately round-shaped, stellar body of Sex~A is surrounded by an elongated low-SB stellar halo that can be interpreted as a tidal tail, similar to that found in another member of the same association (Antlia). We discuss these, as well as other evidences of tidal disturbance, in the framework of a past passage of the NGC3109 association close to the Milky Way, that has been hypothesized by several authors and is also supported by the recently discovered filamentary configuration of the association itself.

description: The San Andreas Rift forms one of the largest and most continuous structural features in the world and as a fault system, has few equals in magnitude of displacements, complexity of movement or size of area affected. The structural relation resulting from the continued movement upon it and auxiliary fault systems is typical of Coast Range structure. Each contribution to the understanding of the structural features in the vicinity of the San Andreas Rift aids in the ultimate understanding of the major feature.

It was with the desire of becoming acquainted with some of the features evidenced by major faulting systems as well as the solution of the geology of an area in Coast Range structure that this problem was undertaken.

Dr. Kew in U.S.G.S. Bulletin 755 has published on the San Fernando and Tujunga quadrangles lying south of Lake Elizabeth quadrangle. Mr. Clements, of the California Institute of Technology, is at the present time engaged in working out the relations in the Tejon quadrangle on the west. Dr. Noble is making an extensive survey of the Rift itself for the Seismological Department of the Carnegie Institute and has mapped as far north along the Rift as Palmdale in Lake Elizabeth quadrangle.

Ceratobaeus Ashmead, 1893: 167, 175. Type species Ceratobaeus cornutus Ashmead, 1893 by original designation.
Ceratobaeus – Huggert 1979: 60 (subgenus of Idris Förster, 1856). — Iqbal & Austin 2000: 5, 19, 22 (removed from synonymy).
Remarks
Ceratobaeus may be best treated as a junior synonym of Idris (Talamas & Buffington 2015), but it has not been formally returned to synonymy since its resurrection by Iqbal & Austin (2000). Without an analysis to support reclassification of these genera, we make no changes to the current status of Ceratobaeus.

description: Standard density functional approximations often give questionable results for odd-electron radical complexes, with the error typically attributed to self-interaction. In density corrected density functional theory (DC-DFT), certain classes of density functional theory calculations are significantly improved by using densities more accurate than the self-consistent densities. We discuss how to identify such cases, and how DC-DFT applies more generally. To illustrate, we calculate potential energy surfaces of HO$\cdot$Cl$^-$ and HO$\cdot$H$_2$O complexes using various common approximate functionals, with and without this density correction. Commonly used approximations yield wrongly shaped surfaces and/or incorrect minima when calculated self consistently, while yielding almost identical shapes and minima when density corrected. This improvement is retained even in the presence of implicit solvent.

description: This paper suggests a few novel Cholesky-based square-root algorithms for the maximum correntropy criterion Kalman filtering. In contrast to the previously obtained results, new algorithms are developed in the so-called {\it condensed} form that corresponds to the {\it a priori} filtering. Square-root filter implementations are known to possess a better conditioning and improved numerical robustness when solving ill-conditioned estimation problems. Additionally, the new algorithms permit easier propagation of the state estimate and do not require a back-substitution for computing the estimate. Performance of novel filtering methods is examined by using a fourth order benchmark navigation system example.

Holotype
[GERMANY] • 1 ♂; NHMW-HYM#0006908.
Remarks
Baeus maculatus (Fig. 2) now has the rare distinction of having been classified in each of the three subfamilies of Scelionidae. We transfer this species to Baeus based on characters used to identify males of this genus in Masner (1976): filiform antennae, T2 larger than T3, fore wings narrow. The loosely appressed laterotergites are an important character for identifying male Baeus, but are challenging to see clearly on the holotype specimen because of how it is mounted. However, the appearance of the metasoma matches other male Baeus examined by the authors. The presence of a basal vein in the fore wing, used as a diagnostic character by Masner (1976), is not clearly visible in the images of the holotype. This may be an artefact of photography or preservation, or it may simply be absent in this species.

description: In studies with adults and adolescents, high sensitivity to environmental influences has been associated with higher depression and anxiety symptoms, and autistic traits (Bakker & Moulding, 2012; Boterberg & Warreyn, 2016; Brindle, Moulding, Bakker, & Nedeljkovic, 2015; Hofmann & Bitran, 2007; Liss, Mailloux, & Erchull, 2008; Liss, Timmel, Baxley, & Killingsworth, 2005; Neal, Edelmann, & Glachan, 2002; Yano & Oishi, 2018), but also better outcomes in response to enhancements in the environmental context, such as receiving psychological support. Despite the observed associations, it is currently not known to what extent these associations reflect shared genetic or environmental aetiology. The current study will use multivariate twin approaches, to examine whether genetic factors associated with greater sensitivity to one’s contexts are correlated with, and partly explain, individual differences in depression and anxiety symptoms, autistic traits and various indicators of subjective and psychological wellbeing. The study sample includes ~2800 adolescent twins (age ~16 years old) from the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS). Cholesky decomposition models will be used to investigate the genetic and environmental overlap between sensitivity, psychopathology and wellbeing indicators, and the extent to which genetic or environmental influences on sensitivity account for variations in psychopathology and wellbeing.
Wake pattern and wave resistance for anisotropic moving objects

description: We present a theoretical study of gravity waves generated by an anisotropic moving disturbance. We model the moving object by an elliptical pressure field of given aspect ratio $\mathcal W$. We study the wake pattern as a function of $\mathcal W$ and the longitudinal hull Froude number $Fr = V/\sqrt{gL}$, where $V$ is the velocity, $g$ the acceleration of gravity and $L$ the size of the disturbance in the direction of motion. For large hull Froude numbers, we analytically show that the rescaled surface profiles for which $\sqrt{\mathcal W}/Fr$ is kept constant coincide. In particular, the angle outside which the surface is essentially flat remains constant and equal to the Kelvin angle, and the angle corresponding to the maximum amplitude of the waves scales as $\sqrt{\mathcal W}/Fr$, thus showing that previous work on the wake's angle for isotropic objects can be extended to anisotropic objects of given aspect ratio. We then focus on the wave resistance and discuss its properties in the case of an elliptical Gaussian pressure field. We derive an analytical expression for the wave resistance in the limit of very elongated objects, and show that the position of the speed corresponding to the maximum wave resistance scales as $\sqrt{gL}/\sqrt{\mathcal W}$.

description: We report the efficient creation and detection of hybrid entanglement between one photon's polarization and another photon's complex transverse polarization pattern. The polarization measurement of the first photon triggers a polarization sensitive imaging of its partner photon, the vector photon, using a single-photon sensitive camera. Thereby, we reconstruct tomographically the vector photon's complex polarization patterns dependent on the type of polarization measurement performed on its partner. We visualize the varying strengths of polarization entanglement for different transverse regions and demonstrate a novel feature: each vector photon can be both entangled and not entangled in polarization with its partner photon. We give an intuitive, information theoretical explanation for our results.

Secular Orbital Dynamics of the Possibly Habitable Planet K2-18 b with and without the Proposed Inner Companion

description: The transiting planet K2-18 b is one of the best candidates for a relatively nearby world harboring biological life. The long-term orbital evolution of this planet is investigated using theoretical and purely numerical techniques for two possible configurations: a single planet orbiting the host star, and a two-planet system including the proposed inner planet close to the 4:1 mean motion rationalization. The emphasis is made on the secular changes of eccentricity and orbital inclination, which are important for the climate stability of the planet. It is demonstrated that the secular orbital dynamics of planet K2-18 b with an internal companion are accurately represented by the periodic eccentricity and inclination exchange on the time scales of a few Kyr. A single planet is not expected to experience fast orbital changes, with the much weaker tidal and rotation-driven perturbations mostly reflecting in a slow periastron and nodal precession. The tidal decay of the orbit is too insignificant on the time scale of the stellar age. However, the conditions for the habitability of a single K2-18 b planet are much improved if, like the Earth, it rotates faster than the mean motion and its rotation angle is tilted by a hypothetical moon. Milankovi{ć}'s cycles of the habitable planet's climate are discussed for both configurations.

description: We propose the Chiarella-Heston model, a new agent-based model for improving the effectiveness of deep hedging strategies. This model includes momentum traders, fundamental traders, and volatility traders. The volatility traders participate in the market by innovatively following a Heston-style volatility signal. The proposed model generalises both the extended Chiarella model and the Heston stochastic volatility model, and is calibrated to reproduce as many empirical stylized facts as possible. According to the stylised facts distance metric, the proposed model is able to reproduce more realistic financial time series than three baseline models: the extended Chiarella model, the Heston model, and the Geometric Brownian Motion. The proposed model is further validated by the Generalized Subtracted L-divergence metric. With the proposed Chiarella-Heston model, we generate a training dataset to train a deep hedging agent for optimal hedging strategies under various transaction cost levels. The deep hedging agent employs the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient algorithm and is trained to maximize profits and minimize risks. Our testing results reveal that the deep hedging agent, trained with data generated by our proposed model, outperforms the baseline in most transaction cost levels. Furthermore, the testing process, which is conducted using empirical data, demonstrates the effective performance of the trained deep hedging agent in a realistic trading environment.

description: Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Lawson Cypress) is an important tree species in town, suburban gardens and parks in the USA. It is economically and ecologically valuable in forests in west California and south-west Oregon. In 1854 when seed was imported from the USA to Europe for the first time, the selection and breeding of numerous cultivars started. Cultivars from Europe and additional selection from the US were propagated as ornamental plants in nurseries on the west coast of the US. In 1923 a serious root rot of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana which killed the trees was observed in nurseries and landscape plantings near Seattle (USA). The causal agent was determined as Phytophthora lateralis in 1943. In 1952 first attacks of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana trees in the forest could be observed in the USA. Today P. lateralis is widely distributed in western North America although it has not been confirmed in other parts of the continent.
In Europe P. lateralis was detected for the first time on C. lawsoniana in a French nursery in 1999. There were no further findings until 2005 when the pathogen was isolated from diseased Chamaecyparis plants for planting in a nursery in the Netherlands. Since 2005 the pathogen has also been detected on several C. lawsoniana hedges in France.
