Criminale di Specie: Anatomia del Mostro
Creators: name: PsykoSapiens
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Una Stortura Esistenziale esplora la figura del "criminale di specie" come un’anomalia radicale, non riducibile a categorie normative o psicopatologiche. Questo essere rappresenta un agente di discontinuità esistenziale, capace di sovvertire le fondamenta stesse della vita e delle relazioni materiali. Non è un semplice trasgressore, ma un'entità che agisce nel cuore del reale, destabilizzando l’ordine biologico ed ontologico.  

Attraverso un’indagine cruda e priva di consolazioni, il testo mostra il mostro nella sua dimensione più disturbante e concreta, rivelando il marciume e la crudeltà che ne costituiscono l’essenza. Ogni gesto del criminale è un atto di negazione dell’essere, che trasforma la vittima in frammenti di materia disgregata, annullando la sua identità.  

La ricostruzione possibile è una lotta contro l’entropia e la disgregazione, un processo di rigenerazione che supera la giustizia convenzionale per penetrare il territorio dell’essenza stessa della vita.

description: Kosaraju in ``Computation of squares in a string'' briefly described a linear-time algorithm for computing the minimal squares starting at each position in a word. Using the same construction of suffix trees, we generalize his result and describe in detail how to compute in O(k|w|)-time the minimal k-th power, with period of length larger than s, starting at each position in a word w for arbitrary exponent $k\geq2$ and integer $s\geq0$. We provide the complete proof of correctness of the algorithm, which is somehow not completely clear in Kosaraju's original paper. The algorithm can be used as a sub-routine to detect certain types of pseudo-patterns in words, which is our original intention to study the generalization.

description: We investigate magnetically-induced ferroelectricity in Cu2MnSnS4 by means of Landau theory of phase transitions and of ab initio density functional theory. As expected from the Landau approach, ab initio calculations show that a non-zero ferroelectric polarization P along the y direction is induced by the peculiar antiferromagnetic configuration of Mn spins occurring in Cu2MnSnS4. The comparison between P, calculated either via density-functional-theory or according to Landau approach, clearly shows that ferroelectricity is mainly driven by Heisenberg-exchange terms and only to a minor extent by relativistic terms. At variance with previous examples of collinear antiferromagnets with magnetically-induced ferroelectricity (such as AFM-E HoMnO3), the ionic displacements occurring upon magnetic ordering are very small, so that the exchange-striction mechanism (i.e. displacement of ions so as to minimize the magnetic coupling energy) is not effective here. Rather, the microscopic mechanism at the basis of polarization has mostly an electronic origin. In this framework, we propose the small magnetic moment at Cu sites induced by neighboring Mn magnetic moments to play a relevant role in inducing P. Finally, we investigate the effect of the anion by comparing Cu2MnSnSe4 and Cu2MnSnS4: Se-4p states, more delocalized compared to S-3p states, are able to better mediate the Mn-Mn interaction, in turn leading to a higher ferroelectric polarization in the Se-based compound.

Global Observational Evidence of Strong Linkage Between Dew Point Temperature and Precipitation Extremes
Creators: name: Ali, Haider
Publisher: name: figshare

Subjects: Water resources engineering

description: Using global station-based observations of precipitation, near-surface air temperature (SAT), and dew point temperature (DPT), we show that the negative scaling relationship found between extreme daily precipitation and SAT over the tropics is associated with the low seasonality in temperature. When using a binning technique or quantile regression, not accounting for seasonality in temperature produces a negative scaling for the majority of stations in the tropics, with higher temperatures associated with smaller precipitation extremes. After removing temperature seasonality, we find that most locations show a positive (median 5.2%/K) scaling with SAT and 96% of global locations exhibit positive (median 6.1%/K) scaling with DPT. Moreover, about 33% (22%) of the locations show super C-C scaling (higher than 7%/K) with DPT (SAT). Our results show that the impact of warming on extreme precipitation (especially over the tropics) may be higher than previously thought.

description: Even if Einstein's General Relativity achieved a great success and overcame lots of experimental tests, it also showed some shortcomings and flaws which today advise theorists to ask if it is the definitive theory of gravity. In this essay we show that, if advanced projects on the detection of Gravitational Waves (GWs) will improve their sensitivity, allowing to perform a GWs astronomy, accurate angular and frequency dependent response functions of interferometers for GWs arising from various Theories of Gravity, i.e. General Relativity and Extended Theories of Gravity, will be the definitive test for General Relativity.

 Comments: Euseius gallicus was first found and identified in France from the leaves of large-leaved summer linden (Tilia platyphyllos Scopoli), sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.), horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.), laurustinus (Viburnum tinus L.) and grape (Vitis vinifera L.) in 2009 (Tixier et al., 2009). Later, it was found on Tilia cordata (Miller) in Belgium, Lycium barbarum L. in Germany, Rosa sp. cv. Red Naomi in Holland and Ipomea sp. in Trabzon, Turkey (Döker et al., 2014b), and on Capsicum annuum L., Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Cucumis sativus L. in Ordu, Turkey (Soysal and Akyazı, 2018). This study reports this species for the first time on walnut trees in Turkey. Euseius species are pollen feeding, type IV generalist predators (McMurtry and Croft, 1997). Euseius gallicus has shown potential as a biocontrol agent for western flower thrips and whiteflies on roses when Typha sp. (cattail) pollen is supplied as an additional food source (Wackers, 2013). It has been commercially produced since 2014 (Anonymous, 2019b).

description: Sensor networks potentially feature large numbers of nodes that can sense their environment over time, communicate with each other over a wireless network, and process information. They differ from data networks in that the network as a whole may be designed for a specific application. We study the theoretical foundations of such large scale sensor networks, addressing four fundamental issues- connectivity, capacity, clocks and function computation. To begin with, a sensor network must be connected so that information can indeed be exchanged between nodes. The connectivity graph of an ad-hoc network is modeled as a random graph and the critical range for asymptotic connectivity is determined, as well as the critical number of neighbors that a node needs to connect to. Next, given connectivity, we address the issue of how much data can be transported over the sensor network. We present fundamental bounds on capacity under several models, as well as architectural implications for how wireless communication should be organized. Temporal information is important both for the applications of sensor networks as well as their operation.We present fundamental bounds on the synchronizability of clocks in networks, and also present and analyze algorithms for clock synchronization. Finally we turn to the issue of gathering relevant information, that sensor networks are designed to do. One needs to study optimal strategies for in-network aggregation of data, in order to reliably compute a composite function of sensor measurements, as well as the complexity of doing so. We address the issue of how such computation can be performed efficiently in a sensor network and the algorithms for doing so, for some classes of functions.

A history of the extension and adult education services of the University of British Columbia, 1915- to 1955
Creators: name: Selman, Gordon R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The object of this study is to trace the development of the extension services offered by the University of British Columbia from its founding in 1915 until the end of the program year 1954-55. The first chapter summarizes some of the outstanding features of the history of adult education and more particularly of university extension as it has developed in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada. Chapter II describes the experience with extension activities at U.B.C. up to 1933, the year in which the Carnegie Corporation offered a grant which made It possible to expand these activities significantly. The important formative years between the offer of the grant and the appointment of a full-time director of extension activities in 1936 are dealt with in Chapter III. Chapters IV to VIII describe the various extension services offered by the University between 1936 and 1955. Chapter IV deals with Vocational Education; Chapter V with Evening Classes, Lectures and Credit Courses; Chapter VI with Social Education; Chapter VII with Fine Arts and Summer School; and Chapter VIII with Audio-Visual, Library and Radio Services. The final chapter summarizes the general development of the Extension Department and examines some of the factors influencing that development. There were two main problems involved in writing this study. The first of these was to acquire the factual information concerning the development of Extension services. This proved to be a difficult task because of the gaps in the records available. Correspondence and interviews with persons involved over the years and other means were used in order to gather this information. Some questions remain unanswered. The other problem was to identify and evaluate the relative importance of the various factors which have influenced the growth of the Extension program. An attempt has been made to do this especially in the second, third and last chapters. Some of these factors include: the desire for better public relations on the part of the University; the attitude of the University Presidents and others concerning the relative importance of extension work; the abilities, understanding and degree of commitment of the three directors of the Extension Department; the resources which were available at different times to develop aspects of the work (such as the Carnegie grant and the federal government funds for certain activities); economic and social Conditions in the province; and the characteristics of the staff employed by the Department since its creation in 1936. The attempt to trace and to understand the development of extension services at the University of British Columbia is felt to be of particular significance because the Extension program of this University became during this period one of the most outstanding in Canada.

description: Il testo esplora il concetto di vita e non vita, smantellando la distinzione convenzionale tra le due categorie attraverso una prospettiva scientifica e filosofica. Partendo dalle forme di vita terrestre e dalle ipotesi di vita extraterrestre, si evidenzia come la vita sia un fenomeno emergente, una modalità dinamica della non vita, in cui atomi e molecole (intrinsecamente non viventi) si organizzano temporaneamente in processi biologici.  

La riflessione culmina nella critica del dualismo vita/non vita, proponendo un paradigma unificante in cui non c’è separazione ontologica tra esseri viventi e materia inorganica. La vita viene così descritta come evento transitorio, un’aggregazione momentanea nel continuum universale, rifiutando le dicotomie e le costruzioni linguistiche che alimentano l’illusione di una separazione essenziale tra le due dimensioni.

 Material examined: Nine individuals of this species were collected, and only in Yakakent district - Yakakent, Kozköy (41°37'34.5"N 35°32'51.9"E), 27.07.2018, 2♀♀, 2♂♂; 17.08.2018, 5♀♀.
 Comments: Kampimodromus aberrans has been collected from different plants, including Corylus avellana L., Diospyrus kaki L., Fagus sylvatica L., Ficus carica L., Morus nigra L., Quercus cerris L., Malva sp., Rosa sp. and Sorbus sp. in different countries (Ragusa and Tsolakis, 1994). It was later recorded on various plants, namely hazelnut, walnut, apple, pear, loquat and rose, in different parts of Turkey (Ozman-Sullivan, 2006; Kasap et al., 2008, 2009; Faraji et al., 2011; Ozsisli and Çobanoğlu, 2011; Yesilayer and Çobanoğlu, 2011; Satar et al., 2013). Kampimodromus aberrans is categorized as a generalist predator (Type III). This mite feeds readily on pollen and extracts liquid from leaves (McMurtry and Croft, 1997). It also feeds on tetranychid mites (Tixier et al., 1998; Kasap, 2005, 2019; Lorenzon et al., 2012; Duso et al., 2014; Akyazı et al., 2017; Soysal and Akyazı, 2018) and eriophyoid mites (Duso and de Lillo, 1996); it was observed feeding on Phytoptus avellanae Nalepa in hazelnut orchards in Samsun Province, Turkey (Ozman-Sullivan, 2006).

description: We investigate the effect of primordial non-Gaussianity of the local f_NL type on the auto- and cross-power spectrum of dark matter haloes using simulations of the LCDM cosmology. We perform a series of large N-body simulations of both positive and negative f_NL, spanning the range between 10 and 100. Theoretical models predict a scale-dependent bias correction Δb(k,f_NL) that depends on the linear halo bias b(M). We measure the power spectra for a range of halo mass and redshifts covering the relevant range of existing galaxy and quasar populations. We show that auto and cross-correlation analyses of bias are consistent with each other. We find that for low wavenumbers with k<0.03 h/Mpc the theory and the simulations agree well with each other for biased haloes with b(M)>1.5. We show that a scale-independent bias correction improves the comparison between theory and simulations on smaller scales, where the scale-dependent effect rapidly becomes negligible. The current limits on f_NL from Slosar et al. (2008) come mostly from very large scales k<0.01 h/Mpc and, therefore, remain valid. For the halo samples with b(M)<1.5-2 we find that the scale- dependent bias from non-Gaussianity actually exceeds the theoretical predictions. Our results are consistent with the bias correction scaling linearly with f_NL.

Relaxing Constraints from Lepton Flavor Violation in 5D Flavorful Theories
Creators: name: Agashe, Kaustubh
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose new mechanisms for ameliorating the constraints on the Kaluza-Klein (KK) mass scale from charged lepton flavor violation in the framework of the Standard Model (SM) fields propagating in a warped extra dimension, especially in models accounting for neutrino data. These mechanisms utilize the extended five-dimensional (5D) electroweak gauge symmetry [SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R x U(1)_X] which is already strongly motivated in order to satisfy electroweak precision tests in this framework. New choices of representations for leptons under this symmetry (naturally) can allow small mixing angles for left-handed (LH) charged leptons and simultaneously large mixing angles for their SU(2)_L partners, i.e., the LH neutrinos, with the neutrino data being accounted for by the latter mixings. Enhancement of charged lepton flavor violation by the large mixing angle observed in leptonic charged currents, which is present for the minimal choice of representations where the LH charged lepton and neutrino mixing angles are similar, can thus be avoided in these models. This idea might also be useful for suppressing the contributions to B_{d, s} mixing in this framework and in order to suppress flavor violation from superpartners (instead of from KK modes) in 5D "flavorful supersymmetry" models. Additionally, the less minimal representations can provide custodial protection for shifts in couplings of fermions to Z and, in turn, further suppress charged lepton flavor-violation from tree-level Z exchange in the warped extra-dimensional scenario. As a result, ~O(3) TeV KK mass scale can be simultaneously consistent with charged lepton flavor violation and neutrino data, even without any particular structure in the 5D flavor parameters in the framework of a warped extra dimension.

description: We have developed a modular system for high-resolution microscopy at high hydrostatic pressure. The system consists of a pressurised cell of volume ~100 microlitres, a temperature controlled holder, a ram and a piston. We have made each of these components in several versions which can be interchanged to allow a wide range of applications. Here, we report two pressure cells with pressure ranges 0.1-700MPa and 0.1-100MPa, which can be combined with hollow or solid rams and pistons. Our system is designed to work with fluorescent samples (using a confocal or epifluorescence microscope), but also allows for transmitted light microscopy via the hollow ram and piston. The system allows precise control of pressure and temperature [-20-70C], as well as rapid pressure quenching. We demonstrate its performance and versatility with two applications: time-resolved imaging of colloidal phase transitions caused by pressure changes between 0.1MPa and 101MPa, and imaging the growth of Escherichia coli bacteria at 50MPa. We also show that the isotropic-nematic phase transition of pentyl-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) liquid crystal provides a simple, convenient and accurate method for calibrating pressure in the range 0.1-200MPa.
Effects of Uniform and Differential Rotation on Stellar Pulsations

description: We have investigated the effects of uniform rotation and a specific model for differential rotation on the pulsation frequencies of 10 \Msun\ stellar models. Uniform rotation decreases the frequencies for all modes. Differential rotation does not appear to have a significant effect on the frequencies, except for the most extreme differentially rotating models. In all cases, the large and small separations show the effects of rotation at lower velocities than do the individual frequencies. Unfortunately, to a certain extent, differential rotation mimics the effects o f more rapid rotation, and only the presence of some specific observed frequencies with well identified modes will be able to uniquely constrain the internal rotation of pulsating stars.

description: This article describes new polar angle-dependent magnetoresistance (ADMR) measurements in the overdoped cuprate Tl$_2$Ba$_2$CuO$_{6+δ}$ over an expanded range of temperatures and azimuthal angles. These detailed measurements re-affirm the analysis of earlier data taken over a more restricted temperature range and at a single azimuthal orientation, in particular the delineation of the intraplane scattering rate into isotropic and anisotropic components. These new measurements also reveal additional features in the temperature and momentum dependence of the scattering rate, including anisotropy in the $T^2$ component and the preservation of both the $T$-linear and $T^2$ components up to 100 K. The resultant form of the scattering rate places firm constraints on the development of any forthcoming theoretical framework for the normal state charge response of high temperature superconducting cuprates.

 Comments: Neoseiulella tiliarum was found on linden trees in Germany (Oudemans, 1930). Nesbitt (1951) recorded it on apple, linden and pear trees in Canada. More recently, it has been found in many countries, including Turkey, on different plants (Swirski and Amitai 1982; Düzgüneş and KılıÇ, 1983; Denmark and Rather, 1996). It feeds on tetranychid and eriophyoid mites (Jeppson et al., 1975; Kozlowski and Kozlowska, 1991).

description: We have studied the structure of K- pp by solving this system in a variational treatment, starting from ansatz that Lambda(1405) is a K-p quasi-bound state, Lambda* with mass 1405 MeV/c2. The structure of K-pp reveals a molecular feature, namely, the K- in an "atomic center", Lambda*, plays a key role in producing strong covalent bonding with the other proton. Deeply bound Kbar nuclear systems are formed by this "super-strong" nuclear force due to migrating real bosons, Kbar, a la Heitler-London-Heisenberg, which overcompensates the stiff nuclear incompressibility. Theoretical background of the Lambda (1405) ansatz is discussed in connection with the double-pole picture of Lambda (1405) based on chiral SU(3) dynamics. Detailed analysis reveals single-pole nature of the observable Lambda (1405). There are two kinds of Sigma pi invariant masses experimentally observable, the usual T22 invariant mass and the conversion T21 invariant mass. It is of vital importance to determine whether the Lambda* mass is 1405 MeV or 1420 MeV. The T21 invariant mass from K- absorption at rest in deuteron can provide decisive information about this Lambda* mass problem.

description: This Publicly Available Specification (PAS) is a Reference Framework for the development as well as for the structural comparison and evaluation of competence Modeling in Human Resource Development. This specification refers to all processes in Human Resource Development and addresses in particular the processes of vocational learning, education, and training. The content of this PAS was developed in the Working Group "Competence for the Human Resource Development" established in the project of the same name within the framework of the programme "Innovation by Norms and Standards" (INS), funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi), Germany. The Reference Framework for Competence Modelling (RFCM) at hand comprises all existing competence models, constitutes an abstract standardized description format for future competence models and the comparison of existing competence models. It was developed, refined and approved in a consensual process within the Working Group by experts from business and research. The analysis, the inclusion, and the integration of numerous competence models from theory and practice ensure that all existing competence models can be mapped and described by the Reference Framework for Competence Modelling. The Reference Framework for Competence Modelling enables and requires the adaptation of competence models on the specific organization and situation during their development and comparison.

description: We consider the spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ chain in the regime of large Ising-like anisotropy $Δ$. By a combination of duality and Jordan-Wigner transformations we derive a mapping to weakly interacting spinless fermions, which represent domain walls between the two degenerate ground states. We develop a perturbative expansion in $1Δ$ for the transverse dynamical spin structure factor at finite temperatures and in an applied transverse magnetic field. We present a unified description for both the low-energy temperature-activated response and the temperature evolution of the T=0 two-spinon continuum. We find that the two-spinon continuum narrows in energy with increasing temperature. At the same time spectral weight is transferred from the two-spinon continuum to the low energy intraband scattering continuum, which is strongly peaked around the position of the (single) spinon dispersion (`Villain mode').

Should we reduce the use of plastics in agriculture?
Creators: name: Cusworth, Samuel
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: Plastic use in agriculture has transformed agricultural systems worldwide,
 facilitating the production of fresh produce in yield-limiting conditions,
 extend the growing season and improving the food security of many regions.
 As global food systems come under increasing pressure from the future
 impacts of climate change and other global crises, the need to provide a
 stable, readily available supply of healthy, nutritious produce is
 increasingly important. Whilst plasticulture is considered an effective
 measure to maintain food security and increase agricultural productivity,
 there is a global call to reduce plastic use in agriculture. The impact of
 plastics from ‘cradle-to-grave’ are overwhelmingly negative, thought to
 compromise long-term agricultural productivity, human and planetary
 health. Even though there is an urgent call to reduce plastic use in
 agriculture, we are not equipped with an adequate knowledge base to

 assess and reevaluate plasticulture. Our understanding of plasticulture
 and its importance in food systems has not yet been comprehensively
 assessed. In parallel, the implications of plastic use in agricultural
 systems are not fully understood, in particular the quantification of
 microplastics in agricultural soils and risks to future agroecosystem
 functioning. This thesis presents a review of the UK food system and a
 meta-analysis to explore the relative importance

 of plasticulture. The meta-analysis found that plasticulture is key to
 increasing the yield of globally-important crops in agricultural systems
 worldwide. This is followed by a nationwide survey, soil archive analysis
 and a mesocosm experiment that investigate microplastic concentrations,
 fate and impacts in agricultural soils. The nationwide survey suggests
 that plastic crop covers are a significant contributor of microplastics to
 agricultural soils. Analysis

 of the Rothamsted soil archive revealed that agricultural soils are
 receptors of microplastic pollution from different agricultural sources
 and non-agricultural sources which predate modern plasticulture. A
 mesocosm experiment was used to determine the effects of microplastics on
 soil and crop health, as well as the influence of soil and crop type on
 microplastic transport. The results from the mesocosm experiment indicate
 microplastics pollution affects agroecosystem functioning. This thesis is
 an essential contribution to producing a comprehensive assessment of
 plastic use in agriculture in future food systems. The findings from this
 thesis highlight an urgent need to reassess plastic use in agriculture.
 Sustainable plasticulture will be vital to build the resilience of a
 future food system that prioritises human and planetary health.
Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking in String Models with D-branes

description: The possibility of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking by strong coupling gauge interaction in models with D-branes in String Theory is examined. Instead of elementary scalar Higgs doublet fields, the gauge symmetry with strong coupling (technicolor) is introduced. As the first step of this direction, a toy model, which is not fully realistic, is concretely analyzed in some detail. The model consists of D-branes and anti-D-branes at orbifold singularities in (T^2 x T^2 x T^2)/Z_3 which preserves supersymmetry. Supersymmetry is broken through the brane supersymmetry breaking. It is pointed out that the problem of large S parameter in dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking scenario may be solved by natural existence of kinetic term mixings between hypercharge U(1) gauge boson and massive anomalous U(1) gauge bosons. The problems to be solved toward constructing more realistic models are clarified in the analysis.

description: Pancreatic cancer is a lethal malignancy in both sexes throughout the world. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been implicated in the development of pancreatic cancer by operating as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). Here, we explored circ_0099999-mediated ceRNA activity in regulating pancreatic tumorigenesis. Ribonuclease R (RNase R) and subcellular localization assays were utilized to characterize circ_0099999. The levels of circ_0099999, microRNA (miR)-330-5p, and fascin actin-bundling protein 1 (FSCN1) were gauged by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot. Cell proliferation, colony formation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were evaluated by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, flow cytometry, and transwell assays, respectively. The levels of glucose consumption and lactate production were determined using the assay kits. A direct relationship between miR-330-5p and circ_0099999 or FSCN1 was validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Tumour xenograft assays were used to analyse the role of circ_0099999 in vivo. Circ_0099999 was highly up-regulated in pancreatic cancer tissues and cells. Knockdown of circ_0099999 impeded cell proliferation, migration, invasion, glycolysis, and promoted apoptosis in vitro, as well as diminished tumour growth in vivo. Circ_0099999 targeted miR-330-5p, and miR-330-5p was a downstream mediator of circ_0099999 function. FSCN1 was a direct and functional target of miR-330-5p. Furthermore, circ_0099999 operated as a ceRNA for miR-330-5p to modulate FSCN1 expression. Our findings established a novel causal mechanism, circ_0099999/miR-330-5p/FSCN1 ceRNA crosstalk, in regulating pancreatic carcinogenesis and provided that inhibition of circ_0099999 might have therapeutic benefits in pancreatic cancer.
Avoid the Tsunami of the Dirac sea in the Imaginary Time Step method

description: The discrete single-particle spectra in both the Fermi and Dirac sea have been calculated by the imaginary time step (ITS) method for the Schrödinger-like equation after avoiding the "tsunami" of the Dirac sea, i.e., the diving behavior of the single-particle level into the Dirac sea in the direct application of the ITS method for the Dirac equation. It is found that by the transform from the Dirac equation to the Schrödinger-like equation, the single-particle spectra, which extend from the positive to the negative infinity, can be separately obtained by the ITS evolution in either the Fermi sea or the Dirac sea. Identical results with those in the conventional shooting method have been obtained via the ITS evolution for the equivalent Schrödinger-like equation, which demonstrates the feasibility, practicality and reliability of the present algorithm and dispels the doubts on the ITS method in the relativistic system.

 Comments: This species is common in the USA, central and northern Europe, and Mediterranean countries (Peverieri et al., 2009; Miñarro and Kreiter, 2012). It has been reported from different plants in different parts of Turkey (Şekeroğlu, 1984; Faraji et al., 2011; Ozsisli and Çobanoğlu, 2011; Yeşilayer and Çobanoğlu, 2011; Kumral and Çobanoğlu, 2015; Akyazı et al., 2016; Çobanoğlu and Güldali, 2017; Soysal and Akyazı, 2018). Öksüz (2019) collected this species from beans, cucumbers, eggplants and potatoes on the Çarşamba and Bafra plains of Samsun Province, Turkey. Phytoseius finitimus is a generalist predator that feeds on eriophyid and tetranychid mites, other small arthropods and pollen (Jeppson et al., 1975; Pappas et al., 2013).

description: A significant asymmetry in the distribution of faint blue stars in the inner Galaxy, Quadrant 1 (l = 20 to 45 degrees) compared to Quadrant 4 was first reported by Larsen & Humphreys (1996). Parker et al (2003, 2004) greatly expanded the survey to determine its spatial extent and shape and the kinematics of the affected stars. This excess in the star counts was subsequently confirmed by Juric et al. (2008) using SDSS data. Possible explanations for the asymmetry include a merger remnant, a triaxial Thick Disk, and a possible interaction with the bar in the Disk. In this paper we describe our program of wide field photometry to map the asymmetry to fainter magnitudes and therefore larger distances. To search for the signature of triaxiality, we extended our survey to higher Galactic longitudes. We find no evidence for an excess of faint blue stars at l > 55 degrees including the faintest magnitude interval. The asymmetry and star count excess in Quadrant 1 is thus not due to a triaxial Thick Disk.
