description: REVISION OF CARIDINA FROM THE ANCIENT LAKES OF SULAWESI   Identification keys to species from the ancient lakes of
 Sulawesi. – Woltereck (1937a, b) mentioned the rostrum as a good character to delimit the different species she described from the Malili lakes: “…the rostrum varies in length, but the type does not change.” (Woltereck, 1937a: 228). Schenkel (1902) provided a detailed description of the rostrum in species from Lake Poso and included an elaborate table of rostral characters from one species. The recent examination of specimens from both lake systems confirmed that shape and denticulation of the rostrum are constant in the majority of the species. Therefore, the following morphological key is mainly based on rostral characters from adult specimens of both sexes (although it has to be mentioned that females are generally larger than males). It is not appropriate for the identification of most juveniles, though.
During sampling in the lakes, most species could easily be told apart (juveniles included) based on colour pattern, substrate, collecting site, or behaviour. Thus, an additional key for each lake system is provided for the quick preidentification of living animals in the field. Because each species flock is endemic to its respective lake system and both lake systems are completely isolated from each other, the key to living animals in the field is subdivided into species from the Malili lake system and from Lake Poso (and its river system).
 All keys provided here are only applicable to species of Caridina from the ancient lakes of Sulawesi.

description: The purpose of this article is to characterize the effect of a competitive price change on a producer’s commodity transactions under uncertainty and impatience. The novelty comes from a methodological approach inspired by both Slutsky and Arrow-Pratt. Combining and generalizing these methodological frameworks illuminates natural analogues between production and consumption with and without uncertainty, while facilitating the analysis of certain, risky, and uncertain choice within a consistent framework. Contributions include (i) the introduction of the immediate profit function — a generalization of cost function to an economic environment with uncertainty and impatience, (ii) a generalization of Arrow-Pratt risk aversion to characterize preferences over time as well as over uncertainty, (ii) a generalization of Arrow-Pratt risk aversion to characterize technological and market uncertainty, (iv) the decomposition of price effects on commodity choices with uncertainty and impatience using Slutsky substitution and income effects, and the generalized Arrow-Pratt characterizations of uncertainty aversion, patience aversion, technological uncertainty and market uncertainty; and (v) a reexamination of Sandmo’s seminal comparative static analysis of a producer facing price risk in the context of price uncertainty and impatience.

description: We investigate the photometric properties of 456 bright galaxies using imaging data recorded during the commissioning phase of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Morphological classification is carried out by correlating results of several human classifiers. Our purpose is to examine the statistical properties of color indices, scale lengths, and concentration indices as functions of morphology for the SDSS photometric system. We find that $u'-g'$, $g'-r'$, and $r'-i'$ colors of SDSS galaxies match well with those expected from the synthetic calculation of spectroscopic energy distribution of template galaxies and with those transformed from $UBVR_CI_C$ color data of nearby galaxies. The agreement is somewhat poor, however, for $i'-z'$ color band with a discrepancy of $0.1-0.2$ mag. With the aid of the relation between surface brightness and radius obtained by Kent (1985), we estimate the averages of the effective radius of early type galaxies and the scale length of exponential disks both to be 2.6 kpc for $L^*$ galaxies. We find that the half light radius of galaxies depends slightly on the color bands, consistent with the expected distribution of star-forming regions for late type galaxies and with the known color gradient for early type galaxies. We also show that the (inverse) concentration index, defined by the ratio of the half light Petrosian radius to the 90% light Petrosian radius, correlates tightly with the morphological type; this index allows us to classify galaxies into early (E/S0) and late (spiral and irregular) types, allowing for a 15-20% contamination from the opposite class compared with eye-classified morphology.

title: Experimental and numerical investigation on flexural behaviour of post-tensioned composite concrete structures with profiled steel sheeting

description: The use of post-tensioned composite (PTC) slab systems has become widespread in the construction industry, spanning from residential to commercial slab structures. The steel sheeting serves as permanent formwork, capitalising on its rigidity to significantly reduce the number of supporting props and shorten the construction progress with no removal process. However, the characteristics of steel sheeting arise from the ribbed structure, where one side, parallel to the ribs, refers to a longitudinal (strong) direction of slab. Otherwise, the other direction, perpendicular to the ribs, exhibits much lower strength, referred to as the transverse (weak) direction. In response to this issue, certain engineering firms have adopted post-tensioning methods as a solution to effectively enhance the bending stiffness of this weaker direction and replace the use of beam systems in the current methodology. This approach, therefore, extends the floor application to flat plate slab construction, marking a significant advancement in the field. Within the current level of literature review, there is a lack of research investigating the flexural behaviour of the PTC slab systems in two-way action and the impacts of post-tensioning on the bending strength of transverse directions. In terms of practical application, there are limitations from which no standard is specified, or available design programs fail to incorporate the effect of steel sheeting under the flexural behaviour of PTC slabs. As a result, this research gap highlights the need for further exploration in this critical area of construction engineering, which is the focus of this thesis. [...]

description: We present a new class of thermal ratchets operating under the action of a symmetry breaking non-Hermitian perturbation which rectifies thermal fluctuations, and driven by a unbiased periodic force. The peculiar non-Hermitian dynamics which follows causes energy transduction from the force to the system in such a way that an average `uphill' particle current is induced. We discuss physical realizations in assemblies of orientable particles, in itinerant oscillator models, and in problems of diffusion in disordered media.

description: Recent reports have pointed out that, at the current rate of development, the world will fail to meet Goal 6 of the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to ensure the availability of sanitation and water for all. Over half the world’s population in the middle- and low-income countries will not have sanitation and water with sufficient quality and quantity due to limited financial and freshwater resources. An algal-based wastewater treatment (A-WWT) system is proposed here as an appropriate and affordable pathway to support SDG 6 as well as 11 other related SDGs. Our previous reports on this A-WWT system have documented its ability to produce discharge-ready water, comparable in quality to that of the conventional activated sludge-based (CAS) system, but at lower initial cost and lower energy needs. In the current study, we demonstrate that activated carbon adsorption and ozonation are potential follow-up processes to reclaim high-quality water for beneficial reuse. The quality of water reclaimed by the A-WWT system is shown to be superior to what is currently possible with the CAS system. Microbial assessments and Microtox toxicity assays confirm that the reclaimed water from the A-WWT system is safe for agricultural reuse. The A-WWT system holds promise as a greener alternative to meet the four targets under SDG 6: improving water quality, wastewater treatment, and safe reuse; increasing water-use efficiency and ensuring freshwater supplies; implementing water reuse management; and protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems.

description: We present first indications of sympathetic cooling between two neutral, optically trapped atomic species. Lithium and cesium atoms are simultaneously stored in an optical dipole trap formed by the focus of a CO$_2$ laser, and allowed to interact for a given period of time. The temperature of the lithium gas is found to decrease when in thermal contact with cold cesium. The timescale of thermalization yields an estimate for the Li-Cs cross-section.

description: In this paper, we investigate convex semigroups on Banach lattices with order continuous norm, having $L^p$-spaces in mind as a typical application. We show that the basic results from linear $C_0$-semigroup theory extend to the convex case. We prove that the generator of a convex $C_0$-semigroup is closed and uniquely determines the semigroup whenever the domain is dense. Moreover, the domain of the generator is invariant under the semigroup; a result that leads to the well-posedness of the related Cauchy problem. In a last step, we provide conditions for the existence and strong continuity of semigroup envelopes for families of $C_0$-semigroups. The results are discussed in several examples such as semilinear heat equations and nonlinear integro-differential equations.

description: ISO/SWS observations of SN 1987A on day 3425 show no emission in [Fe I] 24.05 microns and [Fe II] 25.99 microns down to the limits of roughly 0.39 Jy and 0.64 Jy, respectively. Assuming a homogeneous distribution of Ti-44 inside 2000 km/s and negligible dust cooling, we have made time dependent theoretical models to estimate an upper limit on the mass of ejected Ti-44. Assessing various uncertainties of the model, and checking the late optical emission it predicts, we obtain an upper limit of 1.1EE-4 solar masses. This is lower than in our previous estimate using other ISO data, and we compare our new result with other models for the late emission, as well as with expected yields from explosion models. We also show that steady-state models for the optical emission are likely to overestimate the mass of ejected Ti-44. The low limit we find for the mass of ejected Ti-44 could be higher if dust cooling is important. A direct check on this is provided by the gamma-ray emission at 1.157 Mev as a result of the radioactive decay of Ti-44.

description: Agenesis of one or more teeth is not an uncommon finding in both primary and permanent dentition. The most commonly missing tooth in the permanent dentition is the third molars followed by the maxillary lateral incisors or the mandibular premolar. Congenitally missing maxillary central incisor is not a frequent finding. Presence of only one maxillary central incisor is a rare clinical finding termed as solitary median maxillary central incisor. This is a case report of a 7 year old female patient who reported with only one central incisor at the midline. Early diagnosis of the condition is very essential to rule out other associated problems.

description: Recent analyses of the anisotropy of cosmic rays at $10^{18}$ eV (the AGASA and SUGAR data) show significant excesses from regions close to the Galactic Centre and Cygnus. Our aim is to check whether such anisotropies can be caused by single sources of charged particles. We investigate propagation of protons in two models of the Galactic regular magnetic field (with the irregular component included) assuming that the particles are injected by a short lived discrete source lying in the direction of the Galactic Centre. We show that apart from a prompt image of the source, the regular magnetic field may cause delayed images at quite large angular distances from the actual source direction. The image is strongly dependent on the time elapsed after ejection of particles and it is also very sensitive to their energy. For the most favourable conditions for particle acceleration by a young pulsar the predicted fluxes are two to four order of magnitudes higher than that observed. The particular numbers depend strongly on the Galactic magnetic field model adopted but it looks that a single pulsar in the Galactic Centre could be responsible for the observed excess.

description: Involvement in teaching activities is a curriculum requirement for GP Speciality Trainees (GPSTs). There are numerous potential benefits to involving GPSTs in teaching, including mutual educational benefit for both GPST and learner. However, GPSTs on placement in primary care may be less involved in teaching activities than hospital-based trainees. The reasons for this are not fully understood. This multi-site study aimed to explore the perceptions of GP trainers of the barriers to involving GPSTs in teaching in primary care. Focus groups of General Practice (GP) trainers from four regional GP training programmes across Northern England were conducted. Data were analysed thematically. Trainers cited barriers relating to the trainee (e.g. capacity and capability), practice (e.g. capacity), and teaching (e.g. appropriateness of teaching methods). Underlying these barriers, there appeared to be a cultural attitude towards GPST involvement in teaching: trainers viewed teaching as an extraneous rather than integral part of GP training, considered teaching to represent a deviation from the norm and felt that the GPST was restricted to a learner role. Whilst attempts to address the practical barriers identified in this study are required, a cultural shift in which the role of the GPST as a teacher becomes normalised is urgently needed.

description: We have shortly reviewed the occurrence of the post-synaptic potentials between neurons, the relation between EEG and neuron dynamics, as well as methods of signal analysis. We supposed a simple stochastic model representing electrical activity of neuronal systems. The model is constructed using the Monte Carlo simulation technique. The results yielded EEG-like signals with their phase portraits in three-dimensional space. The Lyapunov exponent was positive, indicating a chaotic behavior. The correlation dimension of the EEG-like signals was found to be .92, which was smaller than those reported by others. It was concluded that this neuron model may provide valuable clues about the dynamic behavior of neural systems.

description: We demonstrate the electromagnetic performance of waveguides for femtosecond electron beam bunch manipulation and compression with strong-field terahertz (THz) pulses. The compressor structure is a dispersion-free exponentially-tapered parallel-plate waveguide (PPWG) that can focus single-cycle THz pulses along one dimension. We show test results of the tapered PPWG structure using electro-optic sampling (EOS) at the interaction region with peak fields of at least 300 kV/cm given 0.9 uJ of incoming THz energy. We also present a modified shorted design of the tapered PPWG for better beam manipulation and reduced magnetic field as an alternative to a dual-feed approach. As an example, we demonstrate that with 5 uJ of THz energy, the PPWG compresses a 2.5 MeV electron bunch by a compression factor of more than 4 achieving a bunch length of about 18 fs.

description: The objective of this paper is to assess the impact of public subsidies on farm technical efficiency using recent advances in nonparametric efficiency analysis. To this end, we use robust conditional frontier techniques as well as insights from recent developments in nonparametric econometrics. The paper contributes to the ongoing methodological discussion on how to model the effect of public subsidies on farmers’ production decisions. The analysis is conducted using an unbalanced panel data of 1,604 observations from 313 French farms located in the French region Meuse over the period 2006-2011. The estimates indicate that public subsidies influence negatively the conditional technical efficiency of farms. This suggests that public subsidies affect the range of attainable values for the inputs and outputs, and hence the shape of the boundary of the attainable set, as well as the distribution of inefficiencies inside the attainable set.

description: Tau neutrinos interacting inside the Earth produce $τ$ leptons which thereafter can decay inside the atmosphere. The propagation of extremely energetic \nut's and $τ$'s through the Earth is studied by means of a detailed Monte Carlo simulation, taking into account all major mechanisms of \nut interactions and $τ$ energy loss as well as decay modes. The rates of $τ$'s emerging from the Earth are determined as a function of $τ$'s energy for several cosmic neutrino models.

description: In view of the strategic role that food supply plays in economic development, this paper sets out to estimate the supply responsiveness of peasant agriculture, particularly cereals production, to price levels. A time series data on areas cultivated, yield as well as price and other relevant variables are used. Cultivated area was taken as a response variable while effects of own-price, cross-price, factor (input) availability and costs, and yield expectations are considered s explanatory variables. A log-linear dynamic response equation is specified in which as hoc specifications of supply response including partial adjustment and expectations formation are integrated. Results indicate that cereals, which are the single most important source of food supply in Ethiopia, are found to be inelastic to prices either in their aggregates or considered individually. On the other hand, relatively larger responses (which are also elastic for maize and sorghum) with respect to the movement of real exchange rate were observed perhaps suggesting that food imports have been competing more with cereals that mainly make up the Poors' consumption bundle

description: We use a particular fractional generalization of the ordinary differential equations that we apply to the Riccati equation of constant coefficients. By this means the latter is transformed into a modified Riccati equation with the free term expressed as a power of the independent variable which is of the same order as the order of the applied fractional derivative. We provide the solutions of the modified equation and employ the results for the case of the cosmological Riccati equation of FRW barotropic cosmologies that has been recently introduced by Faraoni

description: Agenesis of one or more teeth is not an uncommon finding in both primary and permanent dentition. The most commonly missing tooth in the permanent dentition is the third molars followed by the maxillary lateral incisors or the mandibular premolar. Congenitally missing maxillary central incisor is not a frequent finding. Presence of only one maxillary central incisor is a rare clinical finding termed as solitary median maxillary central incisor. This is a case report of a 7 year old female patient who reported with only one central incisor at the midline. Early diagnosis of the condition is very essential to rule out other associated problems.
Finite Blocklength Analysis of Gaussian Random Coding in AWGN Channels under Covert Constraint

description: This paper considers the achievability and converse bounds on the maximal channel coding rate at a given blocklength and error probability over AWGN channels. The problem stems from covert communication with Gaussian codewords. By re-visiting [18], we first present new and more general achievability bounds for random coding schemes under maximal or average probability of error requirements. Such general bounds are then applied to covert communication in AWGN channels where codewords are generated from Gaussian distribution while meeting the maximal power constraint. Further comparison is made between the new achievability bounds and existing one with deterministic codebooks.

 Euxanthus herdmani – Garth & Kim, 1983: 669; Serène, 1984: 85, Pl. 11 Fig. D.
 Material examined. – 1 male, 10.0 × 7.6 mm (NMCR-27334), Stn. S 32, 9°35.8'N 123°44.6'E, Looc, Panglao Is., 2–3 m, coll. PANGLAO 2004 Expedition, 28 Jun.2004.
 Remarks. – This is a rarely reported species and the single male specimen agrees well with the original description and figure as well as those in Serène (1984). The carapace is orange, with blotches of dark brown on the supraorbital region and portions of the first and second anterolateral teeth. The cardiac and medial intestinal regions are brownishorange. The posterolateral concavity for the coadaptation of ambulatory legs is white. The meri of the chelipeds and P2–P4 are generally white, the carpi, propodi, and dactyli are pinkish-purple. In P5, only the proximal portions of the merus and dactylus are pinkish-purple, with the rest being white. Euxanthus herdmani has previously been recorded from Camiguin Island, in the Philippines (Garth & Kim, 1983), as well as Sri Lanka and Seychelles, in the western Indian Ocean (Guinot-Dumortier, 1960; Serène, 1984).

description: We model the influence of scattering along the channel and extension regions of dual gate nanotransistor. It is found that the reduction in drain current due to scattering in the right half of the channel is comparable to the reduction in drain current due to scattering in the left half of the channel, when the channel length is comparable to the scattering length. This is in contrast to a popular belief that scattering in the source end of a nanotransistor is significantly more detrimental to the drive current than scattering elsewhere. As the channel length becomes much larger than the scattering length, scattering in the drain-end is less detrimental to the drive current than scattering near the source-end of the channel. Finally, we show that for nanotransistors, the classical picture of modeling the extension regions as simple series resistances is not valid.

description: We investigate whether the observed high number of carbon- and nitrogen-enhanced extremely metal-poor stars could be explained by peculiar evolutionary properties during the core He flash at the tip of the red giant branch. For this purpose we compute a series of detailed stellar models expanding upon our previous work; in particular, we investigate if during the major He flash the penetration of the helium convective zone into the overlying hydrogen-rich layers can produce carbon- and nitrogen-rich abundances in agreement with current spectroscopic observations. The dependence of this phenomenon on selected model input parameters, such as initial metallicity and treatment of convection is examined in detail.
