description: Continual lifelong learning is an machine learning framework inspired by human learning, where learners are trained to continuously acquire new knowledge in a sequential manner. However, the non-stationary nature of streaming training data poses a significant challenge known as catastrophic forgetting, which refers to the rapid forgetting of previously learned knowledge when new tasks are introduced. While some approaches, such as experience replay (ER), have been proposed to mitigate this issue, their performance remains limited, particularly in the class-incremental scenario which is considered natural and highly challenging. In this paper, we present a novel algorithm, called adaptive-experience replay (AdaER), to address the challenge of continual lifelong learning. AdaER consists of two stages: memory replay and memory update. In the memory replay stage, AdaER introduces a contextually-cued memory recall (C-CMR) strategy, which selectively replays memories that are most conflicting with the current input data in terms of both data and task. Additionally, AdaER incorporates an entropy-balanced reservoir sampling (E-BRS) strategy to enhance the performance of the memory buffer by maximizing information entropy. To evaluate the effectiveness of AdaER, we conduct experiments on established supervised continual lifelong learning benchmarks, specifically focusing on class-incremental learning scenarios. The results demonstrate that AdaER outperforms existing continual lifelong learning baselines, highlighting its efficacy in mitigating catastrophic forgetting and improving learning performance.

description: This study deals with developing efficient comb-shaped polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCs) with different molecular architectures as sustainable additives for mortar and concrete processing. The PC synthesis involved polycondensation of methacrylic acid (MAA) and methoxy polyethylene glycol (MPEG) with different molecular weights (750, 1000, and 2000 Da), followed by free-radical copolymerization of MAA, 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), hydroxyethyl methacrylate, acrylamide, and the attained MPEG-grafted macromonomer. Successful copolymerization and grafting were approved by employing H NMR, FTIR, and GPC. The performance of PCs was evaluated for their dispersing ability in cement paste (water/cement: 0.30, PC content: 0.25 wt.%) through the slump retention, fluidity, apparent viscosity monitoring, and rheological behavior of cement pastes via the Herschel–Bulkley model using shear stress versus shear rate diagrams to calculate the yield stress. It was found that the grafted and ungrafted copolymers based on MAA-AMPS (with mass ratio of MAA:AMPS of 50:50 wt%) display greater workability due to the higher negative charge density and better adsorption on cement particles owing to sulfonate (−SO3−) and CONH2 groups. So, slump values of 300 mm and 400 mm were attained by ungrafted and MPEG750-grafted MAA-AMPS copolymers, respectively. Furthermore, the findings demonstrated that longer MPEG side chains higher than 750 Da greatly weaken the dispersing ability due to the lower steric hindrance repulsive forces, lower electrostatic interactions, and more chain-folding. Moreover, the incorporation of 0.25 wt.% by weight of cement of MPEG750-grafted MAA-AMPS copolymer in cement pastes reduced the yield stress over than 90%. Consequently, the know-how for tailoring effective MPEG-grafted superplasticizers with great slump retention (400 mm), low viscosity (lower than 0.1 Pa·s at a shear rate: 10 s−1), and low yield stress (2.22 e−14 Pa), compared to industrial ones, was achieved. Accordingly, this attempt provides a beneficial insight into developing high-performance water-reducing superplasticizers, as a promising candidate for advanced greener cement-based materials.

description: We study the renormalization of a particular sector of Horndeski theory. In particular, we focus on the nonminimal coupling of a scalar field to the Gauss-Bonnet term and its kinetic coupling to the Einstein tensor. Adopting a power expansion on the scalar function that couples the Gauss-Bonnet term, we find specific conditions on their coefficients such that the action and charges are finite. To accomplish the latter, we add a finite set of intrinsic boundary terms. The contribution of the nonminimal coupling generates an effective scalar mass, allowing us to recover a modified Breitenlohner-Freedman bound. Furthermore, we compute the holographic 1-point functions and Ward identities associated with the scalar field and the metric. We constrain the parameter space of the theory by taking into account the preservation of scaling symmetry at the boundary.

Canthidium moestrum Harold, 1867a: 37 [here transferred to the subgenus Canthidium]. Type locality: Brazil (“ Brasilien oder Columbien”; see discussion below). Type material: Unknown number of male syntypes (probably at least some of them in MNHN—ex Frédéric Tarnier collection, via Jules Desbrochers des Loges collection). Distribution: Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay (Harold 1867b, Martínez & Halffter 1986a) [although Harold (1867a) had originally said that he did not know whether his specimens were collected in Brazil or Colombia and, later (Harold 1867b), stated that he had examined new specimens collected in southern Brazil and Uruguay, Harold (1869a) and Gillet (1911) cite only Brazil in the distribution range of C. moestrum. Bruch (1911) and Martínez (1959) tentatively cited the occurrence in Argentina, information that was replicated without questioning by Blackwelder (1944) and later confirmed by Martínez & Halffter (1986a) and Martínez (1989). Vazde-Mello (2000) confirmed the occurrence in Brazil. It seems clear, therefore, that this species is limited to a region within southeastern South America and is not present in Colombia as cited as a possibility in Harold (1867a)].

description: The recent discovery of the AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A=K, Rb, Cs) kagome superconductors launched a growing field of research investigating electronic instabilities in kagome metals. Specifically, the AV$_3$Sb$_5$ family naturally exhibits a Fermi level tuned to the Van Hove singularities associated with the saddle points formed from the prototypical kagome band structure. The charge density wave and superconducting states that form within the kagome networks of these compounds exhibit a number of anomalous properties reminiscent of theoretical predictions of exotic states in kagome metals tuned close to their Van Hove fillings. Here we provide an overview of the key structural and electronic features of AV$_3$Sb$_5$ compounds and review the status of investigations into their unconventional electronic phase transitions.

Canthidium nanum Harold, 1867a: 51 [here transferred to the subgenus Canthidium]. Type locality: Colombia (“Columbien”). Type material: Location of syntypes unknown. Distribution: Colombia (?) [The Colombia type locality was mentioned by Harold (1867a, 1869a) and Gillet (1911), but, inexplicably, Martínez & Halffter (1986a) stated that C. nanum would be restricted to the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo. Also mysterious is the fact that this species was not included in Blackwelder’s (1944) catalogue. Although this species was included without further comments by Vaz-de-Mello (2000) in his list of the Brazilian dung beetles, I decided to follow Harold’s (1867a) original description and cite with doubts the distribution of this species only for Colombia].

description: Recently, there has been a growing interest in mixed-categorical metamodels based on Gaussian Process (GP) for Bayesian optimization. In this context, different approaches can be used to build the mixed-categorical GP. Many of these approaches involve a high number of hyperparameters; in fact, the more general and precise the strategy used to build the GP, the greater the number of hyperparameters to estimate. This paper introduces an innovative dimension reduction algorithm that relies on partial least squares regression to reduce the number of hyperparameters used to build a mixed-variable GP. Our goal is to generalize classical dimension reduction techniques commonly used within GP (for continuous inputs) to handle mixed-categorical inputs. The good potential of the proposed method is demonstrated in both structural and multidisciplinary application contexts. The targeted applications include the analysis of a cantilever beam as well as the optimization of a green aircraft, resulting in a significant 439-kilogram reduction in fuel consumption during a single mission.

Locus typicus: Society Islands.
Primary type: No longer existing.
Material examined: ZISP: 1 adult, 1 juvenile spm, Cicia Island [17°45’S 179°18’W], Callisto St. 83, 0.3 m, leg. Boris I. Sirenko, 0 6 February 1975, wet.
Habitat: The specimens were found on a porous reef flat, which was covered with some living corals and crustose calcareous algae.
Distribution: According to Kaas et al. (2006: 385) the species is known from the Society Islands and the Tuamotu Archipelago only. Preece (1995: 342) also mentioned the species (tentatively identified) from the Pitcairn group.
Remarks: As no type material exists for this species the determination can be based on the original description only. This is the first record of the species from Fiji. Although Kaas et al. (2006) mentioned that the species is known from the above-mentioned material only, additional specimens are known. Schwabe et al. [unpublished data] have material from New Caledonia that fits the original description well, and additionally there are similar specimens from Tubuai, French Polynesia in the collection of the ZSM. Nevertheless we avoid the designation of a neotype, because no recent material is known from the more northeastern Society Islands and thus no comparisions with specimens from the type locality is available.

A rarely recorded species, associated with marshy alder forests. Newer data on its occurrence in Poland come from the Lubelska Upland (Polesie National Park) (Pietrykowska & Stączek 2001), Mazovian Lowland (Florek et al. 2011, Godeau & Ceryngier 2011, Ceryngier et al. 2016c), Małopolska Upland (Mokrzycki et al. 2013), Masurian Lake District (Wigry National Park) (Ceryngier et al. 2015) and Pomeranian Lake District (Cedynia Landscape Park) (Ceryngier et al. 2016b). The only previous report of this species from the Baltic Coast is that by Bubienko & Ciepielewska (2010) from Gdańsk.

Onthophagus onitoides Perty, 1830: 41 [transferred to Canthidium by Harold 1867a: 31; here transferred to the subgenus Canthidium]. Type locality: Brazil: São Paulo (“Habitat in Brasilia australi, Prov. S. Pauli”) [but see comments below]. Type material: According to Scherer (1983), one unsexed syntype (ZSMC). Distribution: Brazil (Harold 1867a) [contradicting the type locality given by Perty (1830), Harold (1869a) cited the Amazon forest as the home place of C. onitoides, which was followed by Gillet (1911), Vulcano & Pereira (1967), and Martínez & Halffter (1986a). Although it is true that some species described by Perty (1830) as coming from São Paulo are actually Amazonian— e.g., Gromphas aeruginosa (Perty, 1830) and Phanaeus chalcomelas (Perty, 1830), both widely distributed throughout the Amazon region (Edmonds 1994; Cupello & Vaz-de-Mello 2013), but erroneously recorded by Perty (1830) as coming from “Prov. S. Pauli et Minarum”, in southeastern Brazil –, there is no clear evidence supporting Harold and subsequent authors’ claim that C. onitoides occurs in the Amazon region instead of São Paulo, apart from the type locality of its the junior subjective synonym C. trituberculatum (see below). Therefore, I decided to take a more conservative approach and, for the time being, consider the presence of C. onitoides in the Amazon region as unclear and in need of further investigation].

Facultative myrmecophile associated with ants of the genus Formica. Known from most regions of Poland, although relatively rarely reported (Burakowski et al. 1986), perhaps due to its similarity to the common C. septempunctata. In 1882 reported by Helm from Gdańsk, but in more recent times not mentioned from the eastern part of the Baltic Coast.

description: We theoretically study first and second-order optical responses in a transition metal dichalcogenide monolayer with distinct trivial, nodal, and time-reversal invariant topological superconducting (TRITOPS) phases. We show that the second-order DC response, also known as the photogalvanic response, contains signatures for differentiating these phases while the first-order optical response does not. We find that the high-frequency photogalvanic response is insensitive to the phase of the system, while the low-frequency response exhibits features distinguishing the three phases. At zero doping, corresponding to an electron filling in which the Fermi level lies at nodal points, there are opposite sign zero-frequency divergences in the response when approaching the nodal phase boundaries from the trivial and the TRITOPS phases. In the trivial phase, both the high-frequency and low-frequency response of the system are negative, but in the TRITOPS phase, the low-frequency response becomes positive while the high-frequency response remains negative. Furthermore, since phase transitions are controlled by the Rashba spin-orbit coupling and the ratio of intra-orbital and inter-orbital paring amplitudes, our results not only help distinguish the phases but can also provide an estimate of the pairing amplitudes based on the photogalvanic response of the system.

Rare herbivorous ladybird. A reduction of the membraneous wings is probably a reason for its low dispersal ability and local (although sometimes relatively abundant) occurrence. In the Baltic Coast (only in the eastern part) recorded by Bartoszyński (1937) in Puck, by Bielawski (1962) in Elbląg and Tolkmicko, and recently by Napiontek & Szawaryn (2017) in Gdańsk Oliwa. The specimens collected in this study confirm the existence of a stable population of C. impunctata in the investigated area. Other recent data from Poland refer to localities in the Pomeranian Lake District (Ceryngier et al. 2016b), Masurian Lake District (Bubienko et al. 2010), Wielkopolska-Kujawy Lowland (Ruta 2006, Renner & Messutat 2007, Ruta et al. 2009), Lower Silesia (Greń et al. 2013), Trzebnickie Hills (Ruta et al. 2009) and Eastern Sudety Mts (Ruta et al. 2009).

description: The ionization by photon or electron impact of the inner (2a1) and outer (1t2) valence orbitals of the CH4 molecule is investigated theoretically. In spite of a number of approximations, including a monocentric approach and a rather simple distorting molecular potential, the calculated cross sections are overall similar to those of other theoretical methods, and in reasonable agreement with experimental data. The originality of the present approach stands in the way we evaluate the transition matrix elements. The key ingredient of the calculation scheme is that the continuum radial wave function of the ejected electron is represented by a finite sum of complex Gaussian type orbitals. This numerically expensive optimization task is then largely compensated by rather simple and rapid analytical calculations of the necessary integrals, and thus all ionization observables, including cross section angular distributions. The proposed and implemented Gaussian approach is proved to be numerically very reliable in all considered kinematical situations with ejected electrons up to 2.7 a.u.. The analytical formulation of the scheme is provided here for bound molecular states described by monocentric Slater type orbitals; however, Gaussian type orbitals may be equally be employed. In combination with complex Gaussian functions for the continuum states, an all Gaussian approach with multicentric bound states can be envisaged.

description: With the method of the background field expansion, we investigate the one-loop quantization of the Euclidean nonlocal $f(R)$ model in the de-Sitter universe. We obtain the ghost-free condition (GFC) based on the transformation from the Jordan frame to the Einstein frame and the classical stability condition (CSC) satisfied $f^{(0)}_{RR}-ϕ_0F^{(0)}_{RR}<0$. We present the on-shell and off-shell one-loop effective action and quantum stability condition (QSC) by utilizing the generalized zeta-function. We find that under the fulfillment of GFC, CSC and QSC are inconsistent.
