Laminatilla bicornigera

description: Laminatilla bicornigera (Schuster)
(Figs. 69–73)
Odontophotopsis (Odontophotopsis) bicornigera Schuster, 1958. Ent. Amer. (n. s.) 37: 56. male. Holotype: Mexico, Baja California Sur, San José del Cabo, 9.Jul.1958, Michelbacher & Ross (UMSP).
Diagnosis. This species can be separated from other species in this genus by the presence of a dentate antennal tubercle, by the unique mandible that has the dorsal carina projecting anteriorly while the dorsal tooth projects posteriorly and overlies the anterior margin of the clypeus (Figs. 69–71), by the strongly triangular shape of the posterior margin of the head, and by the transverse carina that connects the mesosternal processes. The genitalia are as in Figs. 72 and 73.
Distribution. Based on the few specimens available for study, this species appears to be limited to Baja California Sur, Mexico.
Material examined. Mexico, Baja California Sur, Cabo San Lucas, 8 mi NE, 1 paratype male (UMSP); Las Barracas, ca. 30 km E Santiago, 4 males, 7–12.May.1982, P. DeBach (CISC); La Paz, 7 mi SW, 4 males, 8.Aug.1966, Chemsak and Powell (CISC); Santiago, 6 mi SW, 1 male, 31.Aug.1959, K.W. Radford and F.G. Werner (UAIC); Triunfo, 1 paratype male (UMSP).
Remarks. The mandible of L. bicornigera is superficially similar to Acanthophotopsis falciformis Schuster in having a tooth that protrudes posteriorly from the mandible and overlies the clypeus when the mandible is relaxed. The actual structure that is involved in the protrusion, however, differs between the species. For L. bicornigera, the third mandibular tooth overlies the clypeus being out of alignment with the other mandibular teeth. Acanthophotopsis falciformis has a forth tooth located behind the third tooth that causes the protrusion.

Magnetic field generation in relativistic shocks - An early end of the exponential Weibel instability in electron-proton plasmas
Creators: name: Wiersma, J.
name: Achterberg, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss magnetic field generation by the proton Weibel instability in relativistic shocks, a situation that applies to the external shocks in the fireball model for Gamma-ray Bursts, and possibly also to internal shocks. Our analytical estimates show that the linear phase of the instability ends well before it has converted a significant fraction of the energy in the proton beam into magnetic energy: the conversion efficiency is much smaller (of order m_e/m_p) in electron-proton plasmas than in pair plasmas. We find this estimate by modelling the plasma in the shock transition zone with a waterbag momentum distribution for the protons and with a background of hot electrons. For ultra-relativistic shocks we find that the wavelength of the most efficient mode for magnetic field generation equals the electron skin depth, that the relevant nonlinear stabilization mechanism is magnetic trapping, and that the presence of the hot electrons limits the typical magnetic field strength generated by this mode so that it does not depend on the energy content of the protons. We conclude that other processes than the linear Weibel instability must convert the free energy of the protons into magnetic fields.

description: The propagation of plane waves in an isotropic chiral medium (ICM) is investigated. Simple conditions are derived--in terms of the constitutive parameters of the ICM--for the phase velocity to be directed opposite to the direction of power flow. It is demonstrated that phase velocity and power flow may be oppositely directed provided that the magnetoelectric coupling is sufficiently strong.

description: Natural sanctuaries, and especially sacred caves with their venerable and reverent appearance, constitute an intriguing stage for the reciprocal interaction of nature and civilization. Such sanctuaries are usually found in extra-urban contexts, and are of non-institutionalized, but rural-local in character. However, by studying examples of such sanctuaries located within the polis, like the sacred caves of the Athenian Acropolis, it becomes clear that the elements and rituals ascribed to this type of cult are combined with the mythical associations of the urban topography. The aim of this paper is to topographically and archaeologically approach the cult of Aglauros, positioned on the eastern slope of the Athenian Acropolis and its associated rituals. The ritual aspects of this cult, such as the ephebic oath connected to the inscription found in the Aglaurion, as well as the “ritual of coming of age” performed by the Arrephoroi and related to the nearby Sanctuary of Eros and Aphrodite, are strictly connected to the surrounding topographical and socio-political context. They demonstrate the central role of the sacred caves and furthermore contextualize the polis-related myths and in turn provide a representation of a polis-identity.
Interpretations of cosmic expansion: anchoring conceptions and misconceptions

description: Teaching cosmology at the undergraduate or high school level requires simplifications and analogies, and inevitably brings the teacher into contact with at least one of the pedagogical interpretations of the expanding universe. The by far most popular interpretation holds that galaxies in an expanding universe are stationary, while space itself expands and thus causes the growing distances that characterize cosmic expansion. The alternative relativistic explosion interpretation regards cosmic expansion as a pattern of (relativistic) galaxy motion. The aim of this article is to discuss the two competing interpretations from the perspective of potential student preconceptions, taking into account both beneficial anchoring conceptions and potentially harmful preconceptions that can lead to misconceptions.

description: A compact 4-dimensional manifold is a non-singular graph-manifold if it can be obtained by the glueing T^2-bundles over compact surfaces (with boundary) of negative Euler characteristics. If none of glueing diffeomorphisms respect the bundle structures, the graph-structure is called reduced. We prove that any homotopy equivalence of closed oriented 4-manifolds with reduced nonsingular graph-structures is homotopic to a diffeomorphism preserving the structures.

description: The evolutionary calculations for population I stars with masses on the main sequence 5 M_\odot <= M_0 <= 6.1 M_\odot and initial fractional abundances of helium Y_0=0.28 and heavier elements Z_0=0.02 were carried out to the stage of central helium exhaustion. Selected core helium--burning models were used as initial conditions for solution of the equations of hydrodynamics and time--dependent convection describing radial pulsations of Cepheids. In the Hertzsprung--Russel diagram the evolutionary tracks are shown to cross the red edge of the instability strip for M_0 > 5.1M_\odot. The grid of hydrodynamic models of core helium--burning Cepheids on the stages of the second and the third crossings of the instability strip was computed. The pulsation period Πand the rate of period change \dotΠwere determined as a continuous function of star age for each evolutionary sequence of first--overtone pulsators. Results of calculations agree with observational estimates of \dotΠrecently obtained for the short--period Cepheids V532 Cyg, BG Cru and RT Aur.

description: New archaeological researches in the Necropoli dell’Osteria, one of the most important of Vulci since its early life stages, are the result of the fruitful collaboration between Soprintendenza, several institutions and a group of experts (paleo-botanists, geologists, anthropologists, archaeozoologists) engaged to provide the correct scientific support to the results of archaeological excavation. The recent field investigations - still in progress - have involved two different funerary areas, located respectively on the short hill known as Poggio Mengarelli and in the central part of the necropolis called "Area C". In both cases, the exploration brought to light a large group of "deep grave" tombs, dating back to the first half of the 7th century BCE, some of which could be relevant for family groups and small "chamber tombs". In Area C, in particular, a hypogeum stands out for its grandeur and monumental richness, while in the eastern part of the explored area the excavation revealed a situation characterized by a series of rectangular “enclosures” delimited by slabs of limestone stuck directly to the geological bench, whose period of use dates back to the 4th century BCE. Outside these structures, some ollae (jars), placed near a corner, preserve the remains of cremates. All around, concentrations of burnt areas and animal bones would be connected to the act of worship.

Burying the Sacred. Archaeology of Ritual Depositional Practices in Orientalising and Archaic Rome
Creators: name: Timpano, Francesco Vincenzo
Publisher: name: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 930 Geschichte des Altertums bis ca. 499

description: The study of ritual behaviours has long remained the purview of socio-anthropological disciplines and for the most part has been limited to so-called traditional societies. Archaeologists only started paying attention to rituals a few decades ago, and they immediately faced a simple yet complex problem: unlike anthropologists and ethnologists, who can observe rituals as they are performed and rely on narratives provided by living participants, archaeologists must reconstruct these practices by relying on literary and archaeological sources. Scholars of ancient Roman religion have largely relied on the former for their reconstructions/interpretations of ritual, using the considerable amount of literary evidence at their disposal from the late Republic and Empire, while archaeological sources, on the other 0hand, have received less attention. Although the archaeologically detectable remains of ritual behaviours – i.e., votive deposits – are often coherent sets of finds, until recently they have been dismissed as simple deposits of discarded material and/or studied only through a chrono-typological approach. Unlike written sources, however, votive deposits and their contents preserve first-hand evidence of ritual behaviours and as such deserve closer consideration, especially for ritual contexts predating the earliest written histories, such as those in Orientalising and Archaic Rome (8th – 5th centuries BCE). By applying a context-specific methodology, this paper attempts to challenge/correct this trend and proposes that votive deposits were significant and active elements in the life cycle of sanctuaries. This proposal will be articulated in three sections: the first summarises how the study of ritual behaviours has been addressed by scientific disciplines; the second briefly focuses on how archaeologists have applied these methods to Etrusco-Italic contexts; the third section combines the insights obtained thanks to this scientific analysis with the archaeological realia relating to ritual behaviours in Rome, in a specific time frame that goes from the Orientalising to the Archaic period, that is to say during the Urbanisation of Rome.

description: We study the generic transport of slice energy between the scalar field generated by the conformal transformation of higher-order gravity theories and the matter component. We give precise relations for this exchange in the cases of dust and perfect fluids. We show that, unless we are in a stationary spacetime where slice energy is always conserved, in non-stationary situations contributions to the total slice energy depend on whether or not test matter follows geodesics in both frame representations of the dynamics, that is on whether or not the two conformally related frames are physically indistinguishable.

description: Reheating is a process where the energy density of a dominant component of the universe other than radiation, such as a matter component, is transferred into radiation. It is usually assumed that the temperature of the universe decreases due to cosmic expansion even during the reheating process, in which case the maximal temperature of the universe is much higher than the reheat temperature. We point out that the temperature of the universe during reheating may in fact increase in well-motivated scenarios. We derive the necessary conditions for the temperature to increase during reheating and discuss concrete examples involving a scalar field. We comment on implications for particle physics and cosmology due to an increasing temperature during reheating.

description: In Vietnam, the demand for meat products has grown dramatically due to rapid economic growth and urbanisation and is expected to further increase in the future. Being the primary source of feed for the country’s livestock and poultry industry, maize has become the second most important crop after rice. While this maize boom has the potential to reduce rural poverty, it promotes the expansion of agricultural cultivation into fragile agro-ecological zones, often leading to deforestation and soil degradation, especially in the uplands. Using empirical evidence from mountainous Yen Chau district in north-western Vietnam, the objective of this paper is to investigate the current economic importance and environmental implications of maize cultivation. Furthermore, particular emphasis is placed on the identification of factors influencing farmers’ decision how much area to allocate to maize in order to derive research and policy recommendations. Maize is the dominant crop in Yen Chau, covering most of the uplands and generating the lion’s share of households’ cash income. Although farmers are well aware of soil erosion on their maize plots, effective soil conservation measures are rarely practiced. Maize is attractive to farmers from all social strata, notably the poor, and through marketing arrangements with traders its cultivation is also not constrained by poor infrastructural conditions. Access to low-interest credit should be enhanced to mitigate farmers’ risk of being caught in a poverty trap when maize revenues plummet due to pests, diseases, price fluctuations, or adverse weather conditions. To address the problem of soil degradation in the maize-dominated uplands, research is needed on soil conservation options that are economically more attractive than those promoted thus far.
Young women and sexually transmitted infection testing : investigationg the impact of clinical experiences and social context on sexual health decision-making
Creators: name: Canso, Denise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The study investigated how young women's clinical experiences and social context affect their participation in testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and their subsequent sexual behaviour. This qualitative study used a grounded theory approach to address: (i) the use of STI testing among youth; (ii) factors withhxthe health care system and social context young women perceive as affecting their health outcomes and decision-making; (iii) and the impact of testing on young women's subsequent sexual behaviour. In-depth interview data were collected from 18 female participants between the ages of 19 and 24 years within two weeks of being tested for STIs in Vancouver, Canada. Follow-up interviews were conducted 3 months after the initial interviews. Interview data were analysed to develop theoretical descriptions of key concepts, themes, and processes by which the health care system, social milieu, as well as broader structural forces affect the experiences of young women as they engage in testing for STIs. The findings provide screening program planners, clinicians and other community health service providers with helpful insights when responding to youth sexual health needs.

description: Livestock plays a pivotal role for smallholder production systems in mountainous Northern Vietnam. Poor rural farm households are vulnerable and their livelihood systems are often so fragile and finely-balanced that a small misfortune can destabilize the households for many years. Economic risks, especially loss of livestock, are one of the major reasons for slipping into poverty. Normally, insurance systems could step in here. In developing countries however, insurance markets are usually underdeveloped. Empirical research reveals that raising livestock and selling it in case of a livelihood emergency is a particularly popular risk management strategy. Based on the results of a computer-based Adaptive Conjoint Analysis (ACA) with 155 responding households of different ethnic minority groups in Son La and Bac Kan provinces of Northern Vietnam, this article examines insurance preferences of rural farm households. In general, smallholders are very interested in livestock insurance. The ‘insured animal’ is the most important attribute for all respondents and the buffalo is the highest valued animal. However, the critical issue is how to design the insurance package. It is argued that the provision of adapted livestock insurance could help decreasing household vulnerability by a forward looking risk management strategy. Insurance preferences of smallholders are presented and policy recommendations are given to improve the overall situation of vulnerable households in mountainous Northern Vietnam.

description: Most of the upland areas of Southeast Asia are characterized by insufficient infrastructure, low productivity in smallholder crop and animal production, mounting environmental problems such as soil and forest degradation and loss of biodiversity, increasing population pressure, and widespread poverty, particular in rural areas. While some upland areas in South East Asia have been experiencing considerable progress during the past twenty years, others have stagnated or even declined with respect to economic, social and environmental objectives of development. The purpose of the paper is to describe major trends regarding sustainable development in the upland areas of selected countries in South East Asia, and review explanatory approaches for the observed trends based on case studies from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The conceptual framework for this paper builds on the critical triangle of sustainable rural development. Here, equity or poverty alleviation, economic growth, and the protection of the environment are the three major policy objectives. We further distinguish three explanatory approaches for land use change and agricultural and rural development. Apart from the market approach and the population approach, we suggest that future studies should focus more on governance issues as a major driving force of land use change. The governance approach appears particularly relevant for upland areas which are often politically and institutionally marginalized. The paper begins with a review of definitions of sustainability, and proceeds with a conceptual analysis of the two-way linkages between poverty and the environment, and poverty and economic growth in rural areas. This is followed by empirical findings from research on agriculture and forestry as the major land uses in upland areas of selected South East Asian countries. Based on the results of different case studies from Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Indonesia, we seek to contrast stories of relative success with those of failure. The paper concludes with implications for rural and agricultural development policies, and suggests future areas of research.

description: Research-based learning (RBL) is regarded as a panacea when it comes to effective instructional formats in higher education settings. It is said to improve a wide set of research-related skills and is a recommended learning experience for students. However, whether RBL in the social sciences is indeed as effective as has been postulated for other disciplines has not yet been systematically examined. We thus administered a pre–post-test study to N = 952 students enrolled in 70 RBL courses at 10 German universities and examined potential changes in cognitive and affective-motivational research dispositions. Latent change score modelling indicated that students increased their cognitive research dispositions, whereas most affective-motivational research dispositions decreased. The instructors’ interest in the students’ work served as a significant predictor of changes in research interest and joy. Practical implications for designing RBL environments can be inferred from the results.

description: We prove that "first singularities" in the non-trapped region of the maximal development of spherically symmetric asymptotically flat data for the Einstein-Vlasov system must necessarily emanate from the center. The notion of "first" depends only on the causal structure and can be described in the language of terminal indecomposable pasts (TIPs). This result suggests a local approach to proving weak cosmic censorship for this system. It can also be used to give the first proof of the formation of black holes by the collapse of collisionless matter from regular initial configurations.

We show that the $2π^0$ photoproduction data can be well described by final state interactions of the pions produced whereas the semi-charged $π^0π^\pm$ channel exhibits a major discrepancy with theory. For $ω$ production on nuclei in the TAPS/CB@ELSA experiment we analyse the $π^0γ$ decay channel, and illustrate the strength of the method by simulating experimental acceptance problems. Completely free of final state interactions is dilepton production in the few GeV range. We show that the sensitivity of this decay channel to changes of hadronic properties in medium in photonuclear reactions on nuclei is as large as in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions and make predictions for the on-going G7 experiment at JLAB. Finally we discuss that hadron production in nuclei at 10 -- 20 GeV photon energies can give important information on the hadronization process, and in particular on the time-scales involved. We show here detailed calculations for the low-energy (12 GeV) run at HERMES and predictions for planned experiments at JLAB.

description: Movements of molecular motors on cytoskeletal filaments are described by directed walks on a line. Detachment from this line is allowed to occur with a small probability. Motion in the surrounding fluid is described by symmetric random walks. Effects of detachment and reattachment are calculated by an analytical solution of the master equation. Results are obtained for the fraction of bound motors, their average velocity and displacement. Enclosing the system in a finite geometry (tube, slab) leads to an experimentally realizable problem, that is studied in a continuum description and also numerically in a lattice simulation.

description: In general two Higgs doublet models (2HDMs) without scalar flavour changing neutral couplings (SFCNC) in the lepton sector, the electron, muon and tau interactions can be decoupled in a robust framework, stable under renormalization group evolution. In this framework, the breaking of lepton flavour universality (LFU) goes beyond the mass proportionality, opening the possibility to accommodate a different behaviour among charged leptons. We analyze the electron and muon $(g-2)$ anomalies in the context of these general flavour conserving models in the leptonic sector (g$\ell$FC). We consider two different models, I-g$\ell$FC and II-g$\ell$FC, in which the quark Yukawa couplings coincide, respectively, with the ones in type I and in type II 2HDMs. We find two types of solutions that fully reproduce both $(g-2)$ anomalies, and which are compatible with experimental constraints from LEP and LHC, from LFU, from flavour and electroweak physics, and with theoretical constraints in the scalar sector. In the first type of solution, all the new scalars have masses in the 1--2.5 TeV range, the vacuum expectation values (vevs) of both doublets are quite similar in magnitude, and both anomalies are dominated by two loop Barr-Zee contributions. This solution appears in both models. In a second type of solution, one loop contributions are dominant in the muon anomaly, all new scalars have masses below 1 TeV, and the ratio of vevs is in the range 10--100. The second neutral scalar $H$ is the lighter among the new scalars, with a mass in the 210--390 GeV range while the pseudoscalar $A$ is the heavier, with a mass in the range 400--900 GeV. The new charged scalar $H^\pm$ is almost degenerate either with the scalar or with the pseudoscalar. This second type of solution only appears in the I-g$\ell$FC model. Both solutions require the soft breaking of the $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ symmetry of the Higgs potential.

description: This paper examines the effect of soft handoff on the uplink user capacity of a CDMA system consisting of a single macrocell in which a single hotspot microcell is embedded. The users of these two base stations operate over the same frequency band. In the soft handoff scenario studied here, both macrocell and microcell base stations serve each system user and the two received copies of a desired user's signal are summed using maximal ratio combining. Exact and approximate analytical methods are developed to compute uplink user capacity. Simulation results demonstrate a 20% increase in user capacity compared to hard handoff. In addition, simple, approximate methods are presented for estimating soft handoff capacity and are shown to be quite accurate.

description: Roadmap document in which the CEN and CENELEC Focus Group on Organ on Chip (FGOoC) provides an overview of the landscape of standards that are relevant for the domain of OoC. This includes the identification of existing standards or standardisation initiatives, as well as recommendations on the priorities and opportunities for drafting new standards in the coming years.

Based on a multi-stakeholder call for action in 2021, CEN and CENELEC established an FGOoC to (1) systematically plot the landscape of standards for OoC and (2) to define a roadmap on OoC standardisation for the coming years. Starting in March 2022, the goal of the FGOoC was to establish how standards can contribute to designing, developing, fabricating and testing OoC models, in a way to improve their reproducibility, reliability, comparability and validity, finally leading to significant improvements in their development and implementation.

description: In this paper we describe the important features of executive compensation in the US from 1993 to 2006. Some confirm what has been found for earlier periods and some are novel. Notable facts are that: the compensation distribution is highly skewed; each year, a sizeable fraction of chief executives lose money; the use of security grants has increased over time; the income accruing to CEOs from the sale of stock increased; regardless of the measure we adopt, compensation responds strongly to innovations in shareholder wealth; measured as dollar changes in compensation, incentives have strengthened over time, measured as percentage changes in wealth, they have not changed in any appreciable way.

description: This paper carries out an investigation into the socio-economic determinants of couples’ childbearing decisions in Italy. Since having children is in most cases a “couple matter”, the analysis accounts for the characteristics of both the possible parents. Our results do not support established theoretical predictions according to which the increase in the opportunity cost of motherhood connected to higher female labour participation is responsible for the fall in fertility. On the contrary, the instability of the women’s work status (i.e. their being occasional, precarious, and low-paid workers) reveals to be a significant dissuasive deterrent discouraging the decision to have children. Couples with unemployed women are less likely to plan childbearing as well. Other relevant explanatory variables are current family size and the strength of family ties.

Odontophotopsis (Odontophotopsis) mixtoensis Schuster, 1958. Ent. Amer. (n. s.) 37: 56. male. Holotype: Mexico, Puebla, Sierra Mixteca, C.A. Purpus, S.V. (UMSP).
Diagnosis. This species has a mandible that tapers apically with a complete dorsal carina that does not project anteriorly (Fig. 77), and has the posterior margin of the head subtriangular in outline, but lacks both a denticle on the antennal tubercle and a carina connecting the mesosternal processes. The genitalia are as in Figs. 78 and 79.
Distribution. Based on the limited number of specimens, it is found in Guerrero and Puebla, Mexico.
Material examined. Mexico, Guerrero, Iguala, 16 km NW, 1 male, 22.Jul.1983, Chemsak and Michelbacher (CISC).
Remarks. Schuster (1958) suggested that L. lamellifera has the mesopleura closely, strongly punctate throughout, the lateral pronotal faces obscurely punctate posteriorly, the eyes and ocelli very large (the eyes 2.8–2.85X as long as ocellocular distance with 0.96X the width of frons between them), the vertex length varies from 0.6–0.75X the eye-length, and the legs stramineous and paler than the body, while L. mixtoensis has the mesopleura with anterior half virtually impunctate, the lateral pronotal faces confluently punctate, the eyes and ocelli smaller (the eyes 2.3–2.4X the ocellocular distance with 0.88X the width of frons between eyes), the vertex length 0.8–0.85X the eye-length, and the legs and antenna concolorous, not paler than body. The additional specimens studied here show overlapping states for all of these characters, except for the leg coloration, and these characters are not useful for discriminating these species. Furthermore, given that only two specimens of L. mixtoensis are known, it is likely that leg coloration may also fail to be useful. The mandibular shape (Figs. 74, 77) and the apex of the cuspis (Figs. 75, 76, 78, 79), however, differ between the two species and may remain a consistent means for identification.
