description: Time and frequency transfer lies at the heart of the field of metrology. Compared to current microwave dissemination such as GPS, optical domain dissemination can provide more than one order of magnitude in terms of higher accuracy, which allows for many applications such as the redefinition of the second, tests of general relativity and fundamental quantum physics, precision navigation and quantum communication. Although optical frequency transfer has been demonstrated over thousand kilometers fiber lines, intercontinental time comparison and synchronization still requires satellite free space optical time and frequency transfer. Quite a few pioneering free space optical time and frequency experiments have been implemented at the distance of tens kilometers at ground level. However, there exists no detailed analysis or ground test to prove the feasibility of satellite-based optical time-frequency transfer. Here, we analyze the possibility of this system and then provide the first-step ground test with high channel loss. We demonstrate the optical frequency transfer with an instability of $10^{-18}$ level in 8,000 seconds across a 16-km free space channel with a loss of up to 70~dB, which is comparable with the loss of a satellite-ground link at medium earth orbit (MEO) and geostationary earth orbit (GEO).

description: We propose Fuzzy Jaccard Index (FUJI) -- a scale-invariant score for assessment of the similarity between two ranked/ordered lists. FUJI improves upon the Jaccard index by incorporating a membership function which takes into account the particular ranks, thus producing both more stable and more accurate similarity estimates. We provide theoretical insights into the properties of the FUJI score as well as propose an efficient algorithm for computing it. We also present empirical evidence of its performance on different synthetic scenarios. Finally, we demonstrate its utility in a typical machine learning setting -- comparing feature ranking lists relevant to a given machine learning task. In real-life, and in particular high-dimensional domains, where only a small percentage of the whole feature space might be relevant, a robust and confident feature ranking leads to interpretable findings as well as efficient computation and good predictive performance. In such cases, FUJI correctly distinguishes between existing feature ranking approaches, while being more robust and efficient than the benchmark similarity scores.

Aborted jets and the X-ray emission of radio-quiet AGNs

description: We propose that radio-quiet quasars and Seyfert galaxies have central black holes powering outflows and jets which propagate only for a short distance, because the velocity of the ejected material is smaller than the escape velocity. We call them "aborted" jets. If the central engine works intermittently, blobs of material may be produced, which can reach a maximum radial distance and then fall back, colliding with the blobs produced later and still moving outwards. These collisions dissipate the bulk kinetic energy of the blobs by heating the plasma, and can be responsible (entirely or at least in part) for the generation of the high energy emission in radio-quiet objects. This is alternative to the more conventional scenario in which the X-ray spectrum of radio-quiet sources originates in a hot (and possibly patchy) corona above the accretion disk. In the latter case the ultimate source of energy of the emission of both the disk and the corona is accretion. Here we instead propose that the high energy emission is powered also by the extraction of the rotational energy of the black hole (and possibly of the disk). By means of Montecarlo simulations we calculate the time dependent spectra and light curves, and discuss their relevance to the X-ray spectra in radio-quiet AGNs and galactic black hole sources. In particular, we show that time variability and spectra are similar to those observed in Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies.

description: Genus Hyleoglomeris Verhoeff, 1910
 Type species. Hyleoglomeris multilineata Verhoeff, 1910: 248, by subsequent designation.
 Remarks. Hyleoglomeris is a species-rich genus with ca. 100 species widely distributed from Europe to East Asia (Golovatch et al., 2006). Only eight species have been recorded from Vietnam, three from the southern part, two from the central region, and three from northern part of the country (see the list above). Of these, three are troglobiotic, and live in caves (Golovatch et al., 2006; Golovatch et al., 2013).
 The genus Hyleoglomeris Verhoeff, 1910 was not originally assigned to a tribe, but Mauriès (1971) then placed it into Trachysphaerini Mauriès, 1971. Currently, this taxon is in the subfamily Doderiinae (Wesener, 2015: 380).

description: We integrate for the first time the hydrodynamic Hall-Vinen-Bekarevich-Khalatnikov equations of motion of a $^{1}S_{0}$-paired neutron superfluid in a rotating spherical shell, using a pseudospectral collocation algorithm coupled with a time-split fractional scheme. Numerical instabilities are smoothed by spectral filtering. Three numerical experiments are conducted, with the following results. (i) When the inner and outer spheres are put into steady differential rotation, the viscous torque exerted on the spheres oscillates quasiperiodically and persistently (after an initial transient). The fractional oscillation amplitude ($\sim 10^{-2}$) increases with the angular shear and decreases with the gap width. (ii) When the outer sphere is accelerated impulsively after an interval of steady differential rotation, the torque increases suddenly, relaxes exponentially, then oscillates persistently as in (i). The relaxation time-scale is determined principally by the angular velocity jump, whereas the oscillation amplitude is determined principally by the gap width. (iii) When the mutual friction force changes suddenly from Hall-Vinen to Gorter-Mellink form, as happens when a rectilinear array of quantized Feynman-Onsager vortices is destabilized by a counterflow to form a reconnecting vortex tangle, the relaxation time-scale is reduced by a factor of $\sim 3$ compared to (ii), and the system reaches a stationary state where the torque oscillates with fractional amplitude $\sim 10^{-3}$ about a constant mean value. Preliminary scalings are computed for observable quantities like angular velocity and acceleration as functions of Reynolds number, angular shear, and gap width. The results are applied to the timing irregularities (e.g., glitches and timing noise) observed in radio pulsars.

Flat Spacetime Vacuum in Loop Quantum Gravity

description: We construct a state in the loop quantum gravity theory with zero cosmological constant, which should correspond to the flat spacetime vacuum solution. This is done by defining the loop transform coefficients of a flat connection wavefunction in the holomorphic representation which satisfies all the constraints of quantum General Relativity and it is peaked around the flat space triads. The loop transform coefficients are defined as spin foam state sum invariants of the spin networks embedded in the spatial manifold for the SU(2) quantum group. We also obtain an expression for the vacuum wavefunction in the triad represntation, by defining the corresponding spin networks functional integrals as SU(2) quantum group state sums.

Diffraction gratings with two-orders-of-magnitude-enhanced dispersion rates for sub-meV-resolution soft x-ray spectroscopy
Creators: name: Shvyd'ko, Yuri

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: Diffraction gratings with large angular dispersion rates are central to obtaining high spectral resolution in grating spectrometers operating over a broad spectral range from infrared to soft-x-ray domains. The greatest challenge is of course to achieve large dispersion rates in the short-wavelength x-ray domain. Here we show that crystals in non-coplanar asymmetric x-ray Bragg diffraction can function as high-reflectance soft-x-ray diffraction gratings with dispersion rates that are at least two orders of magnitude larger than those that are possible with state-of-the-art man-made gratings. This opens new opportunities to design and implement soft x-ray resonant inelastic scattering (RIXS) spectrometers with spectral resolutions that are up to two orders of magnitude higher than what is currently possible, to further advance a very dynamic field of RIXS spectroscopy, and to make it competitive with inelastic neutron scattering. We present examples of large-dispersion-rate crystal diffraction gratings operating near the 930-eV L$_3$ absorption edge in Cu and of the 2.838-keV L$_3$ edge in Ru.
At The Crossroads of Globalization, Human Rights and Rule of Law: Creating A Legal Culture for Human Rights: Designing A GeoNOMOS Model for the State
Creators: name: Cecilia O'Rourke, Karen A.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The challenges arising at the crossroads of globalization, human rights and rule of law continue to occur within the nation State and consistently arise in conjunction with international public law, humanitarian law, and international economic law as well as private international law, human rights law and development law. This convergence of globalization, human rights and rule of law concerns more than law's technical discourse with its own procedures and principles. Rather, this convergence now demands the creation of a legal culture of human rights followed by the design of a more humane paradigm for capitalist globalization. The process will require new ways of thinking and talking about rule of law, human rights and globalization so that balancing political and economic imperatives, rule of law and international justice becomes a universal reality in this century. An initial historical review outlines the impact of the twentieth-century neoliberal paradigm for the globalization process and the international human rights regime, both of which have seriously eroded State autonomy. This dissertation defines a contribution to the larger work already in progress and addresses reconstructing the role of the State. It attempts to secure the State's function as the sole architect of world order by introducing a third evolution in a continuum for the expression of sovereignty, a new typology for human rights, and a State taxonomy called The GeoNOMOS Model®. The core function proposed for the State reflects the operation of the universal principles of liberty, human dignity and mutual benefit and becomes the qualitative foundation of the GeoNOMOS Model®. The Model outlines a republican notion of liberty framed by four conduct standards supporting human dignity and an "enterprise of law" designed to consistently and meaningfully address human rights in a society of economic traders. It is axiomatic that nothing in the GeoNOMOS Model® exists outside the liberty framework as each State operates domestically [vertical axis] and internationally [horizontal axis] in support of its single core function [to balance and integrate its essential building blocks ,eg., economic, social and human capital] within liberty framework, the "enterprise of law", and the proposed typology of human rights.
title: A systematic approach for the analysis, design and implementation of Telecommunications-Supported Training (TST) systems
Creators: name: Simón, Cristina
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: The objetive of the present thesis is to develop and test out a systematic approach to the analysis, design and implementation of Telecommunications-Supported Training (TST) systems. The Literature Review offers a set of approaches to similar problems in the field of Information Systems. Several other disciplines have also been considered: Psychology of Human Factors, Organizational and Innovation Theory, and applied research being currently carried out under the EU DELTA Programme. A global User-Centred Model of TST has been developed, based on the wellestablished principles of Systems Engineering and Soft Systems Methodology. The theoretical basis for this model is the concept of TST Architecture, conceived as a functional arrangement of technical components which are introduced in order to improve the performance of the actors involved in the system. The other key aspect is the design of a set of Adoption Strategies, aiming for the creation of the necessary conditions to achieve user acceptance of the technologies implemented. Following these principles, the ADAM (Architectural Design and Adoption Model) systematic approach is developed. It is structured in five stages: Context Analysis, System Analysis, System Design, System Implementation and System Maintenance. Each stage is structured into steps and activities, described in terms of key points, outcomes, deliverables, and roles involved. The ADAM approach has been tested out in its twofold dimension of analyzing already implemented TST systems and designing new ones. The first case discusses the application of ADAM to the EU Multimedia TeleSchool (MTS) TST system. The test is completed by discussing the design and implementation, performed by the author, of a TST system at the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid. The results confirm the usefulness of ADAM both for practitioners and researchers in the field. Also, the TST model is extended as regards the components of acceptance and adoption, and their impact on the introduction of technologies in organizations.

The effect of memory on relaxation in a scalar field theory
Creators: name: Ikeda, Takashi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We derive a kinetic equation with a non-Markovian collision term which includes a memory effect, from Kadanoff-Baym equations in $ϕ^4$ theory within the three-loop level for the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action. The memory effect is incorporated into the kinetic equation by a generalized Kadanoff-Baym ansatz.Based on the kinetic equations with and without the memory effect, we investigate an influence of this effect on decay of a single particle excitation with zero momentum in 3+1 dimensions and the spatially homogeneous case. Numerical results show that, while the time evolution of the zero mode is completely unaffected by the memory effect due to a separation of scales in the weak coupling regime, this effect leads first to faster relaxation than the case without it and then to slower relaxation as the coupling constant increases.

Constructions for Quantum Indistinguishability Obfuscation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: An indistinguishability obfuscator is a probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm that takes a circuit as input and outputs a new circuit that has the same functionality as the input circuit, such that for any two circuits of the same size that compute the same function, the outputs of the indistinguishability obfuscator are indistinguishable. Here, we study schemes for indistinguishability obfuscation for quantum circuits. We present two definitions for indistinguishability obfuscation: in our first definition (qiO) the outputs of the obfuscator are required to be indistinguishable if the input circuits are perfectly equivalent, while in our second definition (qiOD), the outputs are required to be indistinguishable as long as the input circuits are approximately equivalent with respect to a pseudo-distance D. Our main results provide (1) a computationally-secure scheme for qiO where the size of the output of the obfuscator is exponential in the number of non-Clifford (T gates), which means that the construction is efficient as long as the number of T gates is logarithmic in the circuit size and (2)a statistically-secure qiOD, for circuits that are close to the kth level of the Gottesman-Chuang hierarchy (with respect to D); this construction is efficient as long as k is small and fixed.

Imperviousness and trace metals in stream sediments : urbanisation in the Lower Fraser Valley between 1973-2006
Creators: name: Iwata, Oh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Impervious surfaces have been used as a good indicator of urban impact on aquatic health because urban runoff impacts the biodiversity of aquatic organisms. The impact of urbanization on metal concentrations in sediments was examined in 28 sub-watersheds in the Lower Fraser Valley. GIS techniques were used to determine rate of urbanisation in 1973 and 2006 and the metal concentrations in sediments in 2006 were then compared with historic data collected at the same sites. In 2006 the highest imperviousness was observed in the Alouette and N /W Vancouver sub-watersheds (50-70% and 40-60%). All sub-watersheds experienced increases in imperviousness, (Δ 1-30%o), which led to increases in trace metals concentrations in sediments (e.g., Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni). Zn and Ni were the most sensitive metals related to forest loss, increases imperviousness, and traffic, whose impacts were most evident within a 100 m riparian buffer zone. The % imperviousness forms a curvilinear relationship with aquatic biodiversity indices, with a threshold of 10-15 % of imperviousness in the early stages of urbanisation. An opposite curvilinear relationship exists between % imperviousness and several trace metals. The rate of increase in metals tends to be significantly higher in the early stages of urbanisation but flattens out once high level of imperviousness was achieved, possibly due to sediment saturation. Several factors account for significantly higher metal levels in N /W Vancouver than in Alouette, two sub-watershed with similar imperviousness: 1) higher traffic density, 2) enhanced storm sewer system connections, and narrower vegetative stripes within a buffer zone, 3) abundant phosphorus, and 4) higher organic matter. Imperviousness is not the direct cause of stream degradation, but is considered the conveyance system that brings pollutants directly into the stream. Complex interactions between these and other factors all influenced the high metal levels, and traffic was likely the principal source.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: In the unitary gauge the unphysical degrees of freedom of spontaneously broken gauge theories are eliminated. The Feynman rules are simpler than in other gauges, but it is non-renormalizable by the rules of power counting. On the other hand, it is formally equal to the limit $ξ\to 0$ of the renormalizable R$_ξ$-gauge. We consider perturbation theory to one-loop order in the R$_ξ$-gauge and in the unitary gauge for the case of the two-dimensional abelian Higgs model. An apparent conflict between the unitary gauge and the limit $ξ\to 0$ of the R$_ξ$-gauge is resolved, and it is demonstrated that results for physical quantities can be obtained in the unitary gauge.

description: We study the behavior of droplets for two dimensional Ising spin glasses with Gaussian interactions. We use an exact matching algorithm which enables study of systems with linear dimension L up to 240, which is larger than is possible with other approaches. But the method only allows certain classes of droplets to be generated. We study single-bond, cross and a category of fixed volume droplets as well as first excitations. By comparison with similar or equivalent droplets generated in previous works, the advantages but also the limitations of this approach are revealed. In particular we have studied the scaling behavior of the droplet energies and droplet sizes. In most cases, a crossover of the data can be observed such that for large sizes the behavior is compatible with the one-exponent scenario of the droplet theory. Only for the case of first excitations, no clear conclusion can be reached, probably because even with the matching approach the accessible system sizes are still too small.

We extend this result to any perversity $\per{p}$. In the direction cohomology $\mapsto$ homology, we obtain the isomorphism $$ \lau{\IH}{*}{\per{p}}{X} = \lau{\IH}{\per{t} -\per{p}}{*}{X,\ib{X}{\per{p}}}, $$ where $ {\displaystyle \ib{X}{\per{p}} = \bigcup\_{S \preceq S\_{1} \atop \per{p} (S\_{1})< 0}S = \bigcup\_{\per{p} (S)< 0}\bar{S}.} $ In the direction homology $\mapsto$ cohomology, we obtain the isomorphism $$ \lau{\IH}{\per{p}}{*}{X}=\lau{\IH}{*}{\max (\per{0},\per{t} -\per{p})}{X}. $$ In our paper stratified pseudomanifolds with one-codimensional strata are allowed.

We give an explicit formula for the variation of the Casson invariant under such a surgery move. The formula involves simple classical invariants, namely the framing, linking number and Milnor's triple linking number. A more general statement, for n independent Borromean surgeries, is also provided, which involves an additional cubic expression in some linking numbers of the surgery link.

description: The response of a neural cell to an external stimulus can follow one of the two patterns: Nonresonant neurons monotonously relax to the resting state after excitation while resonant ones show subthreshold oscillations. We investigate how do these subthreshold properties of neurons affect their suprathreshold response. Vice versa we ask: Can we distinguish between both types of neuronal dynamics using suprathreshold spike trains? The dynamics of neurons is given by stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo and Morris-Lecar models with either having a focus or a node as the stable fixpoint. We determine numerically the spectral power density as well as the interspike interval density in response to a random (noise-like) signals. We show that the information about the type of dynamics obtained from power spectra is of limited validity. In contrast, the interspike interval density gives a very sensitive instrument for the diagnostics of whether the dynamics has resonant or nonresonant properties. For the latter value we formulate a fit formula and use it to reconstruct theoretically the spectral power density, which coincides with the numerically obtained spectra. We underline that the renewal theory is applicable to analysis of suprathreshold responses even of resonant neurons.

description: The constituent counting ruling (CCR) has been found to hold for numerous hard, exclusive processes. It predicts the differential cross section at high energies and fixed $\cos θ_{c.m.}$ should follow $\frac{d σ}{dt} \sim \frac{1}{s^{n-2}}$, where $n$ is the minimal number of constituents involved in the reaction. Here we provide an in-depth analysis of the reaction $γp \rightarrow ωp$ at $θ_{c.m.}\sim 90^\circ$ using CLAS data with an energy range of $s = 5 - 8$ GeV$^2$, where the CCR has been shown to work in other reactions. We argue for a stringent method to select data to test the CCR and utilize a Taylor-series expansion to take advantage of data from nearby angle bins in our analysis. Naïvely, this reaction would have $n=9$ (or $n=10$ if the photon is in a $q\bar{q}$ state) and we would expect a scaling of $\sim s^{-7}$ ($s^{-8}$). Instead, a scaling of $s^{-(9.08 \pm 0.11)}$ was observed. Explanations for this apparent failure of the naïve CCR assumptions are examined.

title: Requirements modelling of real-time systems
Creators: name: Sateesh, Tiptur K.
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Real-time systems are characterised by the critical nature of their missions, and the demanding environment with which they interact. Real-time systems are used for dedicated applications. Every application is the subject of special requirements enforced by the customer. Considering the vital role that these systems play, it is imperative that a systematic approach be adopted in modelling their unique requirements. In this thesis I propose such a treatment. Real-time systems are time critical. Temporal requirements are the timing restrictions imposed by the application environment. Previous studies in requirements modelling of real-time systems have focused on adding the notion of time to modelling techniques of traditional systems without regard to the realities of requirements modelling. The information should be presented in the way the user handles it, and not the way which is convenient to the software engineer. I attempt to understand the needs of the users better by modelling the real world as close to the user's perspective as possible, and propose the Real World Model (RWM). RWM is assumed to be developed by users, and requirements engineers. An engineering approach to building the model is provided. A real-time system has a well defined use to its community. A requirements model must rely on the user level activities, and aid the human understanding and communication. In the RWM, a real-time system is viewed as a set of concurrently acting automata, each representing a system entity. This model supports temporal reasoning in easily described ways, for all classes of timing properties. A generalised classification of timing constraints is provided. A requirements modelling language facilitates the description of requirements, and serves as a medium of communication among developers and stakeholders. Jarke et al [Jarke 94] observe that there is a need for a requirements language that manages the relationship between the meta-level domain scheme, and the scenarios that actually instantiate the scheme under development. Here I propose Timed Requirements Language (TRL) to bridge this gulf between the world of stakeholders, and the world of specifiers. TRL has natural looking expressions for formulating the needs. TRL has a number of novel features including the treatment of causality, and the description of static, and dynamic constraints all integrated into one uniform framework. TRL has been used with a number of systems. The generality of the language is validated through its application to specific systems.
CITIZENS OF THE FUTURE: AFFECT, POSTMODERN CITIZENSHIP, AND PROSTHESIS

description: This project explores representations of subjectivity, technology, and citizenship in Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents. These novels portray a not-so-distant future in which current social trends like privatization and increasing drug abuse have led to apocalyptic conditions. Accelerating these changes is the fact that the more advanced society becomes technologically, the more technology affects the characters' biology, and the more it mediates their personal experiences and relationships. These conditions lead to questions of how subjectivity and citizenship are deeply transformed by technology in apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic America. I examine technology as a form of prosthesis because it both integrates into the self and extends the self in these works. Theorists of culture have given an increasing amount of attention to tropes and metaphors of prosthesis that explore the general relationships between the body and technology in modernity and postmodernity, and I pursue this trend by framing the question of subjectivity and citizenship through the lens of prosthesis because it captures the material and metaphorical aspects of one's position within the state in the future. In order to examine this relationship, I use a combination of affect theory in tandem with concepts of "prosthetic emotions" and "necro citizenship" in order to extrapolate Butler's portrayal of how life is fundamentally changed by technological advances. I interpret this type citizenship as what I call prosthetic citizenship because it acknowledges a form of interconnectedness in which people reflexively affect and are affected by each other both conceptually and materially through relationships and biological conditions such as hyperempathy. Butler's protagonist, Lauren Olamina, represents a rare type of person who adapts and thrives in the chaos and uncertainty of the apocalypse and post-apocalypse and thus, represents a radical new way of being and serves as a model for how we can understand the postmodern subject and the question of citizenship.
Phases and geometry of the N=1 A_2 quiver gauge theory and matrix models

description: We study the phases and geometry of the N=1 A_2 quiver gauge theory using matrix models and a generalized Konishi anomaly. We consider the theory both in the Coulomb and Higgs phases. Solving the anomaly equations, we find that a meromorphic one-form sigma(z)dz is naturally defined on the curve Sigma associated to the theory. Using the Dijkgraaf-Vafa conjecture, we evaluate the effective low-energy superpotential and demonstrate that its equations of motion can be translated into a geometric property of Sigma: sigma(z)dz has integer periods around all compact cycles. This ensures that there exists on Sigma a meromorphic function whose logarithm sigma(z)dz is the differential. We argue that the surface determined by this function is the N=2 Seiberg-Witten curve of the theory.

description: Genus Rhopalomeris Verhoeff, 1906
 Type species. Rhopalomeris carnifex (Pocock, 1889) by subsequent designation.
 Remarks. The genus Rhopalomeris is strictly known from the mainland of southeast Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia) with four described species (Golovatch & Semenyuk, 2016). Two have been recorded from Vietnam: R. tonkinensis Silvestri, 1917 from Lang Son Province, northern Vietnam and R. variegata Golovatch & Semenyuk, 2016 from Gia Lai Province in the Highlands of Vietnam. The other two species are known from Thailand, Malaysia (R. monacha Silvestri, 1917) and Myanmar (R. carnifex Pocock, 1889). The genus is characterised by antenna having numerous apical sensory cones, antennomere 6 unusually large, trichosteles present in both the prefemur and femur of telopods. An identification key to Rhopalomeris species was recently provided by Golovatch & Semenyuk (2016).

NextMove : task coordination in a distributed agile development environment
Creators: name: Mak, David K. M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: While task coordination has always been a challenge for software project managers, the emerging trend of distributed development adds a new dimension to the conundrum. This thesis describes NextMove, a tool which relieves the project manager from the mundane work of day-to-day task assignment to team members, as well as the heuristic processes behind NextMove. NextMove leverages common practices in software engineering and multi-criteria decision-making processes in order to continuously evaluate the pertinence of tasks that are currently available in the project and advise the team on what to do next as the project progresses. Two methods were used to validate the evaluation approaches behind NextMove: project simulations and experiment with human subjects. Simulation results show that teams that make use of NextMove's heuristic process consistently post shorter project completion times than at least 80% of randomized executions of the same project. The experiment yielded less optimistic results, with conflicting results between different experiment sessions. However, important lessons were learned during the experiment and they open avenues for further research and improvement on NextMove.

description: We present the SIMPLE Archive of low mass stars, brown dwarfs, and directly-imaged exoplanets. The SIMPLE Archive currently contains the astrometry, photometry, and spectra for over 3,000 sources. The goal of SIMPLE is to develop a community-driven archive where many individuals can collaboratively contribute to the knowledge base of these objects using a GitHub workflow. SIMPLE can be searched via a website, https://simple-bd-archive.org/, or be downloaded and interacted with as a database. We welcome more contributors to join us as we build and populate this community tool. The SIMPLE Archive is actively being developed on GitHub at https://github.com/SIMPLE-AstroDB/SIMPLE-db. We are also building in parallel a generic, template version of this tool to be used for other types of astronomical objects: https://github.com/astrodbtoolkit/astrotemplate-db.
