description: 40. Conus milneedwardsi Jousseaume, 1894 (Figure 41)
 Conus milneedwardsi Jousseaume, 1894: 99 (holotype, MNHN (46 x 14 mm) (Röckel et al. 1995); "Aden").
 Conus (Cylinder) clytospira Melvill & Standen, 1899b: 461–463 (lectotype, BMNH (107 x 32 mm) (Coomans et al. 1985a); "Arabian Sea, about 125 miles WSW of Bombay, long. 71° 30’ to 71° 45’E, lat. 18° 43’N ").
 Leptoconus kawamurai Habe, 1962: 117, pl. 37, fig. 15 (holotype, NSMT (80.5 x 33.5 mm) (Röckel et al. 1995); "Amami and Ryukyu Islands").
 Conus lemuriensis Wils & Delsaerdt, 1989: 105–110, figs. 1–3, 7, 12 (holotype, KBIN (110.5 x 35.5 mm) (Röckel et al. 1995); " Réunion Islands, La Souris Chaude").
 Material examined: MBMCS140, 3 specimens, SL 85–120 mm; SW 24–35 mm.
 Description. Shell moderately large, thin, heavy, glossy; body whorl narrowly conical with elevated spire, about one-third of total length; bluntly pointed, with somewhat concave sides. Spire whorls strongly stepped. Depth of exhalent notch in the largest shell is about 2/5 th of maximum diameter of the last whorl. Shoulder narrow, angulate; outline generally straight. Aperture narrow; slightly wider basally, upper edge of the outer lip strongly sloping below shoulder; outer lip rather thin, concave at centre.
Ground colour white. Body whorl generally with reddish brown reticulated lines forming small to large triangles and with similarly coloured triangular spots to variably shaped blotches concentrated in two spiral bands, within basal third, and just above centre. Spire whorls with large reddish brown regular blotches. Aperture white.
 Distribution. Two specimens of C. milneedwardsi (as ‘ C. clytospira ’) were reported from Bombay by Melvill & Standen (1899b, 1901). Kohn (1978) remarked that this species occurs around the margin of the Arabian Sea in the western Indian Ocean.
The specimens described herein were collected from Pamban and Keelakarai (Table 6) by trawling in 30– 80 m. This appears to extend the distribution from the west to east coast of India.
 Remarks. The shell of this species is reported to be moderately solid to solid (Walls 1979 & Röckel et al. 1995). All the three specimens collected in this study had relatively thin shells. Depth of exhalent notch is about 1/4 of the diameter of the last whorl. In contrast, the earlier records state that the depth ranges from 1/3 to 2/5 of the diameter.
 Compared to the earlier record from Madras, east coast (102 mm) (Röckel et al. 1995), the present specimen collected from Keelakarai is larger (120 mm). Like C. bengalensis this species is also in high demand by collectors due to its rarity.

description: Cosmologically motivated theories that explain small acceleration rate of the Universe via modification of gravity at very large, horizon or super-horizon distances, can be tested by precision gravitational measurements at much shorter scales, such as the Earth-Moon distance. Contrary to the naive expectation the predicted corrections to the Einsteinian metric near gravitating sources are so significant that fall within sensitivity of the proposed Lunar Ranging experiments. The key reason for such corrections is the van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov discontinuity present in linearized versions of all such theories, and its subsequent absence at the non-linear level ala Vainshtein.

description: In this paper we demonstrate that solitons of a simple real scalar field model that are {\it static and linearly stable} do exist when considered in a (3+1)-dimensional, spatially compact space-time background, the static Einstein universe, which is a good approximation to the observed universe for sufficiently small time intervals. We study the properties of these solutions for a $Φ^4$-potential and demonstrate that next to the fundamental solutions, excited configurations exist. We also investigate general perturbations about the solitons, determine their eigenfrequency spectra and compare them with those of the perturbations about the vacua of the model. We find that the degeneracy with respect to the multipoles of the perturbation, which is present for the vacua, does no longer exist in the presence of the soliton. Moreover, specific perturbations correspond to zero modes of the system. Our results have applications in condensed matter physics as well as computations of quantum effects (e.g. the Casimir energy) in spatially compact space-times in the presence of soliton-like objects.

description: In individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the presence of comorbidities is associated with increased mortality risk. We wanted to study the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and mortality among individuals with COPD in a population-based cohort study. Participants were recruited from the second (1995–1997) and third (2006–2008) surveys of the HUNT Study and followed until February 2019. Hip and forearm BMD were included as continuous T-scores or categorized according to WHO criteria (normal, osteopenia, and osteoporosis). Hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals were estimated by multivariable Cox regression models. In total, 2076 and 3239 participants were identified as having COPD by FEV1/FVC below lower limit of normal (LLN) or <0.70, respectively, according to Global Lung Initiative (GLI) and Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD). The prevalence of osteoporosis was 15.7% vs. 16.6% in the GLI-COPD vs. GOLD-COPD cohorts. Mean follow-up was 12.7 and 11.9 years. Lower T-scores were associated with a 5% (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01–1.09) increased mortality in the GLI-COPD and GOLD-COPD cohorts, respectively. However, the presence of osteoporosis (T < –2.5), compared to normal BMD, was not associated with mortality in neither GLI-COPD (HR 1.13, 95% CI 0.91–1.41) nor GOLD-COPD cohorts (HR 1.22, 95% CI 0.99–1.51). Thus, a small positive association was found between decreasing BMD T-score and mortality in both GLI-COPD and GOLD-COPD. However, osteoporosis as defined by WHO was not associated with mortality, probably due to loss of power upon categorization.
Quantum simulation by qubitization without Toffoli gates

description: Qubitization is a modern approach to estimate Hamiltonian eigenvalues without simulating its time evolution. While in this way approximation errors are avoided, its resource and gate requirements are more extensive: qubitization requires additional qubits to store information about the Hamiltonian, and Toffoli gates to probe them throughout the routine. Recently, it was shown that storing the Hamiltonian in a unary representation can alleviate the need for such gates in one of the qubitization subroutines. Building on that principle, we develop an entirely new decomposition of the entire algorithm: without Toffoli gates, we can encode the Hamiltonian into qubits within logarithmic depth.

description: Obesity and diabetes are at an epidemic rate, as well as growing incidences of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) which causes pregnancy risks, and harm in both maternal and child health. It remains unclear which molecular mechanisms are driving the functional differences between visceral and subcutaneous fat and how these types directly affect an individual's health outcome. Paired abdominal subcutaneous and omental visceral adipose tissue were collected from women with GDM (n = 20) and with normal glucose tolerance (NGT, n = 22) during planned caesarian section. Both groups had similar maternal age (average 32.5 years) and BMI at delivery (average 33.3 kg/m2). Adipose tissue mRNA expression analyses of insulin signalling genes: PI3KCA, PI3KR1, IRS1 and IRS2 showed significantly decreased PI3KR1 expression (-23%) in visceral fat in GDM with no association to promoter DNA methylation. Reduced visceral fat PI3KR1 expression appears to be a pathogenic factor in GDM but not through altered promoter methylation.

description: The interaction between macroeconomic and trade issues and agriculture is not well understood. In sub-Saharan Africa, this relation becomes critical in recent structural adjustment programmes, especially in countries where agriculture is the mainstay of the economy. This paper examines empirically examples of a non-liberalized economy and a gradually liberalizing economy in the region. It demonstrates that a sufficiently monolithic and inefficient agricultural marketing structure results in the slow transmission of foreign exchange gains to farm gate prices that constrain potential supply response. Monetary policy impacts seem to be a function of greater macroeconomic liberalization than non-liberalization, especially when, in the latter case, domestic currencies are pegged directly to foreign currencies.

description: Using a Li-6 nucleus beam extracted from the JINR Synchrophasotron at momentum 2.67A GeV/c a secondary beam was produced with a composition of 1% of He-6 and 99% of H-3 nuclei. Preliminary results on the features of nucleus-nucleus interactions of He-6 nuclei and charge exchange (CE) of H-3 nucleus are presented. Interactions of He-6 nucleus external neutrons with emulsion nuclei as well as a coherent stripping of He-6 nucleus external neutrons are observed. A mean range of H-3 nuclei to inelastic interactions in the BR-2 type emulsion is equal to 23.$\pm$3.0 cm. A mean range in emulsion for a nuclear CE process H-3 to He-3 is equal to 40$\pm$16 m. The CE cross-sections with a charged meson production or without it are approximately equal. The CE cross-section with excitation of a target nucleus exceeds the one without excitation. The mean transverse momentum of He-3 nuclei is equal to 0.16$\pm$0.03 GeV/c.

description: BACKGROUND: The Angioedema Quality of Life (AE-QoL) is the first patient reported outcome measure developed for the assessment of quality of life (QoL) impairment in patients with recurrent angioedema (RAE). This study aimed to evaluate the clinimetric properties of the AE-QoL in Thai patients and to establish categories of QoL impairment assessed by the AE-QoL. METHODS: The validated Thai version of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and Patient Global Assessment of Quality of Life (PGA-QoL) were used to comparatively evaluate the Thai version of AE-QoL. Spearman correlations between the Thai AE-QoL and two other standard measurements (DLQI and PGA-QoL) were investigated to determine convergent validity. The Thai DLQI and PGA-QoL were used to categorize patients according to their QoL. Known-group validity of the Thai AE-QoL was later analyzed. The reliability of the Thai AE-QoL was investigated using Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation. Three different approaches including the distribution method, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and the anchor based-method were used for the interpretability. RESULTS: A total of 86 patients with RAE with a median age of 38.0 ± 15.1 years (range 18-76) were enrolled. Of those, 76 patients (88%) had RAE with concomitant wheals, and 10 patients (11.6%) had RAE only. The AE-QoL assessed RAE-mediated QoL impairment with high convergent validity and known-groups validity, high internal consistency and test-retest reliability, and good sensitivity to change. Although the AE-QoL did not differentiate between patients with moderate and large effect as measured by PGA-QoL or DLQI in this study, AE-QoL total values of 0-23, 24 to 38, and ≥ 39 could define patients with "no effect", "small effect", and "moderate to large effect" of RAE on their QoL, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the validity and reliability of the Thai version of the AE-QoL, which is a very different language from the original version. Categories allow to classify the effect of RAE on patients' QoL as "none", "small", and "moderate to large". Further studies are needed to confirm the applicability of AE-QoL in other Asian populations".

description: A search for pair production of the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, the top squark, in proton-proton collision events at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV is presented in a final state containing hadronically decaying tau leptons and large missing transverse momentum. This final state is highly sensitive to high-$\tanβ$ or higgsino-like scenarios in which decays of electroweak gauginos to tau leptons are dominant. The search uses a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 77.2 fb$^{-1}$, which was recorded with the CMS detector during 2016 and 2017. No significant excess is observed with respect to the background prediction. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are presented in the top squark and lightest neutralino mass plane within the framework of simplified models, in which top squark masses up to 1100 GeV are excluded for a nearly massless neutralino.

description: This paper opens a new field in quantitative policy analysis by developing a methodology for the construction and simulation of computable non-separable household models. Non-separability originates in market failures and in a binding credit constraint, both of which transform the products and factors affected into non-tradeables. The methodology is applied to a simulation of the impact on Moroccan peasant households of the new pricing rules for cereals introduced by structural adjustment. The results show that the elasticity of supply of tradeables is hampered by the presence of nontradeable factors in the household; that small farmers are pushed on to the labour market as a strategy to relax a credit constraint; and that technological change should be directed at enhancing the productivity of nontradeables to increase the elasticity of supply response of tradeables. Further, a rising price for cereals shifts the farm economy from animals to crops. Nevertheless, as the price of trade able animal forage rises, child labour used for herding in the commons is substituted for this forage, and children's work load increases. The expected consequence is increased school absenteeism and more overgrazing in the commons, two historical curses of Moroccan underdevelopment.

description: We report a combined electrical transport and optical study of the superconductivity in atomically thin NbSe$_2$. When subjected to an out-of-plane magnetic field, an anomalous metallic state emerges, characterized by a finite longitudinal resistance and a vanishing Hall resistance, suggesting the presence of particle-hole symmetry. We establish a superconducting Higgs mode in atomically thin samples, which reveals enduring superconducting fluctuations that withstand unexpectedly high reduced magnetic fields. These findings provide evidence of robust locally paired electrons in the anomalous metallic state, affirming its bosonic nature.
Debt Peonage and Over-Deforestation in the Amazon Frontier of Brazil

description: This paper proposes that under the conditions typical of the Amazon frontier of Brazilabsence of a wage labour market and abundant supply of land-farm-family labour is a positive function of debt. This labour supply response, known as "debt peonage," provides for indirect management of farm labour by local merchants via the crop lien mechanism. A microeconomic model of the family farm shows that debt-labour leads to labour-intensive farming but land-extensive farming leads to over-deforestation. Correct colonization policy should then provide for market structures that reduce indebtedness and deforestation. This would also reduce the environmental consequences of settlement in the Amazon.
Specification and Optimal Reactive Synthesis of Run-time Enforcement Shields

description: A system with sporadic errors (SSE) is a controller which produces high quality output but it may occasionally violate a critical requirement REQ(I,O). A run-time enforcement shield is a controller which takes (I,O) (coming from SSE) as its input, and it produces a corrected output O' which guarantees the invariance of requirement REQ(I,O'). Moreover, the output sequence O' must deviate from O "as little as possible" to maintain the quality. In this paper, we give a method for logical specification of shields using formulas of logic Quantified Discrete Duration Calculus (QDDC). The specification consists of a correctness requirement REQ as well as a hard deviation constraint HDC which must both be mandatorily and invariantly satisfied by the shield. Moreover, we also use quantitative optimization to give a shield which minimizes the expected value of cumulative deviation in an H-optimal fashion. We show how tool DCSynth implementing soft requirement guided synthesis can be used for automatic synthesis of shields from a given specification. Next, we give logical formulas specifying several notions of shields including the k-Stabilizing shield of Bloem "et al." as well as the Burst-error shield of Wu "et al.", and a new e,d-shield. Shields can be automatically synthesized for all these specifications using the tool DCSynth. We give experimental results showing the performance of our shield synthesis tool in relation to previous work. We also compare the performance of the shields synthesized under diverse hard deviation constraints in terms of their expected deviation and the worst case burst-deviation latency.

description: During the past decade, the degradation of the tropical forests has become a major topic in the worldwide discussion of the factors that threaten the long-term survival of the global ecological system. Undisputed in the context is the fact that agricultural production is among the major causes of the continuous reduction of tree cover. As a consequence, efforts to stop deforestation have to accord high priority to agricultural policies that have played a prominent role in this outcome. This paper is concerned with these issues. It explains the role of agriculture in the process of deforestation in different regions and sub-regions and evaluates ways out of the dilemmas under different economic, social, and political conditions.

description: The mechanism was proposed of heterogeneous catalytic CO2 absorptions with primary/secondary amines involving ‘catalytic carbamate formation’. Compared with the non-catalytic ‘Zwitterion mechanism’, this Eley–Rideal model was proposed for CO2 + RR′NH with MCO3 (M = Ca, Mg, and Ba) with four elementary reaction steps: (B1) amine adsorption, (B2) Zwitterion formation, (B3) carbamate formation, and (B4) carbamate desorption. The rate law if determining step of each elementary step was generated based on ‘steady-state approximation’. Furthermore, the solid chemicals were characterized by SEM and BET, and this rate model was verified with 39 sets of experimental datasets of catalytic CO2–MEA absorptions with the existence of 0–25 g CaCO3, MgCO3 and BaCO3. The results indicated that the rate-determining step was B1 as amine adsorption onto solid surface, which was pseudo-1st-order for MEA. This was the first time that the Eley–Rideal model had been adopted onto the reactions of CO2 + primary/secondary amines over alkaline earth metal carbonate (MCO3).

description: We propose a spatial analog of the Berry's phase mechanism for the coherent manipulation of states of non-relativistic massive particles moving in a two-dimensional landscape. In our construction the temporal modulation of the system Hamiltonian is replaced by a modulation of the confining potential along the transverse direction of the particle propagation. By properly tuning the model parameters the resulting scattering input-output relations exhibit a Wilczek-Zee non-abelian phase shift contribution that is intrinsically geometrical, hence insensitive to the specific details of the potential landscape. A theoretical derivation of the effect is provided together with practical examples.

description: We study the fluctuation-dissipation relations for a three dimensional Ising spin glass in a magnetic field both in the high temperature phase as well as in the low temperature one. In the region of times simulated we have found that our results support a picture of the low temperature phase with broken replica symmetry, but a droplet behavior can not be completely excluded.

description: We formulate and analyse a saturation model for the total gamma gamma and gamma* gamma* cross-sections and for the real photon structure function F_2^gamma(x,Q^2). The model is based on a picture in which the gamma* gamma* total cross-section for arbitrary photon virtualities is driven by the interaction of colour dipoles, into which the virtual photons fluctuate. The cross-section describing this interaction is assumed to satisfy the saturation property with the saturation radius taken from the Golec-Biernat and Wusthoff analysis of the gamma* p interaction at HERA. The model is supplemented by the QPM and non-pomeron reggeon contributions. The model gives a very good description of the data on the gamma gamma total cross-section, on the photon structure function F_2^gamma(x,Q^2) at low x and on the gamma* gamma* cross-section extracted from LEP double tagged events. Production of heavy flavours in gamma gamma collisions is also studied. Predictions of the model for the very high energy range which will be probed at future linear colliders are given.

Political Economy

description: The paper questions why agricultural trade compromise between the USA and EC is so difficult, whether a compensatory scheme be found that is both politically feasible and resource saving, and whether liberalizing policies by selected OECD countries will ease a trade compromise. These questions are addressed in a political economy context since, if the influence of special interests is ignored, trade compromises that both save resources and are politically feasible are unlikely to be searched for or found. The analysis entails the estimation of political preference weights, game theory, and a partial equilibrium world trade model based on 1988 data. The general answers are: the most influential special-interest groups face economic losses that, when coupled with their influence, tend to prevent a broad-based trade compromise given the current set of policy instruments; partial trade liberalization can occur if instruments are decoupled from production incentives, but free trade does not result; and partial liberalization by the rest of the OECD greatly increases the feasibility for the USA and EC to compromise. These results illustrate that interdependence in world trade has reached the point where bilateral action alone is unlikely to lead to real liberalization.

description: Polar molecules in superpositions of rotational states exhibit long-range dipolar interactions, but maintaining their coherence in a trapped sample is a challenge. We present calculations that show many laser-coolable molecules have convenient rotational transitions that are exceptionally insensitive to magnetic fields. We verify this experimentally for CaF where we find a transition with sensitivity below 5 Hz G$^{-1}$ and use it to demonstrate a rotational coherence time of 6.4(8) ms in a magnetic trap. Simulations suggest it is feasible to extend this to more than 1 s using a smaller cloud in a biased magnetic trap.

description: The idea that the universe has zero total energy when one includes the contribution from the gravitational field is reconsidered. A Hamiltonian is proposed as an energy for the exact equations of FRW cosmology: it is then shown that this energy is constant. Thus open and critically open FRW universes have the energy of their asymptotic state of infinite dilution, which is Minkowski space with zero energy. It is then shown that de Sitter space, the inflationary attractor, also has zero energy, and the argument is generalized to Bianchi models converging to this attractor.

Ballistic correction to the density of states in an interacting three-dimensional metal

description: We study the tunneling density of states (DOS) in an interacting disordered three-dimensional metal and calculate its energy dependence in the quasiballistic regime, for the deviation from the Fermi energy, $E-E_F$, exceeding the elastic scattering rate. In this region, the DOS correction originates from the interplay of the interaction and single-impurity scattering. Depending on the distance between the interaction point and the impurity, one should distinguish (i) the smallest scales of the order of the Fermi wavelength and (ii) larger spatial scales of the order of $\hbar v_F/|E-E_F|$, where $v_F$ is the Fermi velocity. In two dimensions, the large-scale contribution prevails, resulting in a nearly universal DOS correction. The peculiarity of Friedel oscillations in three dimensions is that the contributions from small and large scales are typically comparable, making the DOS correction sensitive to the details of the interaction and demonstrating a significant particle-hole asymmetry. On the other hand, we show that the non-analytic part of the DOS is determined by large scales and can be expressed in terms of the Fermi-surface characteristics only.

description: Recent attention to anthropomorphism -- the attribution of human-like qualities to non-human objects or entities -- of language technologies like LLMs has sparked renewed discussions about potential negative impacts of anthropomorphism. To productively discuss the impacts of this anthropomorphism and in what contexts it is appropriate, we need a shared vocabulary for the vast variety of ways that language can be anthropomorphic. In this work, we draw on existing literature and analyze empirical cases of user interactions with language technologies to develop a taxonomy of textual expressions that can contribute to anthropomorphism. We highlight challenges and tensions involved in understanding linguistic anthropomorphism, such as how all language is fundamentally human and how efforts to characterize and shift perceptions of humanness in machines can also dehumanize certain humans. We discuss ways that our taxonomy supports more precise and effective discussions of and decisions about anthropomorphism of language technologies.

description: In different approaches, the temperature-baryon density plane of QCD matter is studied for deconfinement and chemical freezeout boundaries. Results from various heavy-ion experiments are compared with the recent lattice simulations, the effective QCD-like Polyakov linear-sigma model, and the equilibrium thermal models. Along the entire freezeout boundary, there is an excellent agreement between the thermal model calculations and the experiments. Also, the thermal model calculations agree well with the estimations deduced from the Polyakov linear-sigma model (PLSM). At low baryonic density or high energies, both deconfinement and chemical freezeout boundaries are likely coincident and therefore the agreement with the lattice simulations becomes excellent as well, while at large baryonic density, the two boundaries become distinguishable forming a phase where hadrons and quark-gluon plasma likely coexist.

description: The process quality of food products is currently the subject of increased attention. In the area of meat production, public discussion has centered on perceived low standards of animal welfare. Besides an increase in legislative regulations, improved animal welfare standards are most frequently achieved through the establishment of socalled animal welfare labels. So far these labeling concepts have not been substantially evaluated in terms of how well they carry out their goal of improving process quality in agricultural animal husbandry. This paper will use a recognized list of criteria to evaluate selected animal welfare labels. Results show that competing labels vary strongly regarding the improvement of process quality. This has far‐reaching effects not only for consumers and other label users, but also for companies that want to enter the animal welfare segment of the meat market.
Implications of environmental conditions for health status and biomechanics of freshwater macrophytes in hydraulic laboratories

description: Submerged freshwater macrophytes are frequently used in hydraulic laboratories to study flow–plant interactions and the role of plants in aquatic ecosystems, but environmental conditions in flume facilities are often suboptimal for plants and can cause plant stress. Physiological responses of plants under stress can trigger modifications in plant biomechanics, which may affect plant–flow interactions and compromise experimental results. In the extreme, dead plants cannot be expected to reveal how live plants interact with flowing water, but stressed plants that are not visibly unhealthy may also affect experimental results. The present work aims to assess if and how environmental conditions typical of flume facilities can impact plant health status and induce variations in plant biomechanics. Using chlorophyll fluorescence analysis, a standard method for assessing plant health, we found that freshwater macrophytes can be significantly stressed under conditions typically found in hydraulic laboratories. Even though the abiotic factors investigated affected different species in different ways, exposure to tap water and low irradiance were the most stressful conditions for freshwater macrophytes. Biomechanical properties with a primary role in flow–plant physical interactions (e.g. flexural rigidity) changed significantly as a result of exposure to stressful conditions. In general, plant stress was associated with a reduction in flexural rigidity at the top of plant stems, suggesting a potential effect on plant hydrodynamics when leaves and petioles are considered. The maximum quantum yield of photosystem II, used as proxy of plant health status, was positively correlated with flexural rigidity of plant stems.
