Pyankovia roborowskii

description: Pyankovia roborowskii (Iljin) Mosyakin & Roalson, comb. nov.
 Basionym: Salsola roborowskii Iljin (1955: 136) ≡ Climacoptera roborowskii (Iljin) Grubov (1966: 98).
 Type:— CHINA: [Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region: Hami] “Tjan-Shan, in desertis Chami, prope pagum Schota. 23 IX 1895, V. Roborowski” 1 (holotype LE-01013412 [digital image!] (Fig. 1), isotypes LE-01013413 [digital image!], PE-00024061, image available from http://petype.myspecies.info/sites/petype.myspecies.info/files/00024061.jpg).
 Paratype: “Roborowski 1895 21 Сент. Tian-shan, оаЗ. Хамийский, 2000 ф. а. в. [футов абсолютной высоты]. Глинисто- песчанаЯ степь” 2 (LE-01013414 [digital image!]).
 Notes: ― We are aware of at least two additional duplicates (see above) of the type cited by Iljin (1955: 138 in Latin and 139 in Russian), and probably there are more in other herbaria. These specimens have the same labels and technically can be considered syntypes. However, Iljin (1955: 139) provided in the protologue the photograph of the plant and indicated that this image was taken from the type (in Russian: “снимок с типа”; Figure 13 in Iljin 1955: 139). That clearly identifies the specimen LE-01013412 as the holotype.

description: In this manuscript the B -> pi tau nu decay is investigated in the context of the 2HDM type II extension of the SM. In particular, predictions for the ratio of semileptonic branching fractions from l = tau and l = electron, muon are produced and an exclusion based on the MSSM parameters tan beta and mH+ from a preliminary Belle measurement are reported. An alternative variable to the ratio of branching fractions that could offer increased sensitivity is discussed that could result in increased sensitivity to rule out contributions from additional scalar mediators.

description: Scaling to larger systems, with current levels of reliability, requires cost-effective methods to mitigate hardware failures. One of the main causes of hardware failure is an uncorrected error in memory, which terminates the current job and wastes all computation since the last checkpoint. This paper presents the first adaptive method for triggering uncorrected error mitigation. It uses a prediction approach that considers the likelihood of an uncorrected error and its current potential cost. The method is based on reinforcement learning, and the only user-defined parameters are the mitigation cost and whether the job can be restarted from a mitigation point. We evaluate our method using classical machine learning metrics together with a cost-benefit analysis, which compares the cost of mitigation actions with the benefits from mitigating some of the errors. On two years of production logs from the MareNostrum supercomputer, our method reduces lost compute time by 54% compared with no mitigation and is just 6% below the optimal Oracle method. All source code is open source.

description: In a search with the Parkes radio telescope of 56 unidentified Fermi-LAT gamma-ray sources, we have detected 11 millisecond pulsars (MSPs), 10 of them discoveries, of which five were reported in Kerr et al. (2012). We did not detect radio pulsations from another six pulsars now known in these sources. We describe the completed survey, which included multiple observations of many targets done to minimize the impact of interstellar scintillation, acceleration effects in binary systems, and eclipses. We consider that 23 of the 39 remaining sources may still be viable pulsar candidates. We present timing solutions and polarimetry for five of the MSPs, and gamma-ray pulsations for PSR J1903-7051 (pulsations for five others were reported in the second Fermi-LAT catalog of gamma-ray pulsars). Two of the new MSPs are isolated and five are in >1 d circular orbits with 0.2-0.3 Msun presumed white dwarf companions. PSR J0955-6150, in a 24 d orbit with a ~0.25 Msun companion but eccentricity of 0.11, belongs to a recently identified class of eccentric MSPs. PSR J1036-8317 is in an 8 hr binary with a >0.14 Msun companion that is probably a white dwarf. PSR J1946-5403 is in a 3 hr orbit with a >0.02 Msun companion with no evidence of radio eclipses.

description: The Newbery Medal is awarded annually to the most distinguished contribution to children's literature. Since its creation in 1922, the Newbery award has been the topic of debates over the criteria used to make the decision and the actual choices made. This study describes a survey given to a random sampling of elementary school media specialists in North Carolina's public schools. The survey questioned whether media centers have all Newbery Medal winners; if not, why decisions were made not to hold some of these titles; and how the award and award winners were promoted by the media specialists. The majority of elementary media specialists interviewed do promote Newbery winning books, but many choose not to keep all of the award winning titles on their shelves. The primary reason not to have a title is because it is written for an audience older than elementary school students.

Publication bias

description: The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews is a source of practical medical information. Systematic reviews summarize the best current research in a field to provide a timely peer reviewed professional summary. These reviews are available through Cochrane.org. This study examines the Cochrane Systematic Reviews by surveying its content to see if it expands the medical literature of effective health practice. How often are articles outside the publication characteristics of the JAMA, published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews? Previous work on JAMA article characteristics were reviewed, along with published restrictions including length and number of works cited. The Cochrane Systematic review articles were compared to see how many of them are at variance with JAMA. Particularly interesting are publication biases toward conclusive studies that have been documented to undermine previously published results. Combining inconclusive studies with length restrictions there is no overlap in the two collections.

description: This study examines the differences between the electronic and print versions of two periodicals: Time and U.S. News and World Report. Three versions of each periodical were reviewed: traditional print, World Wide Web (Internet) and a database (Lexis-Nexis). Sample searches were selected for a four week period (January 4, 1999; January 18, 1999; February 1, 1999; and February 15, 1999.) Information about the location, graphics provided, and content were analyzed in order to determine which format is superior for different purposes. Results were as follows: Fewer content errors were found in Time for all of the different versions. Information about graphics were superior in Lexis-Nexis. U.S. News and World Report was superior for locating in the print and World Wide Web. The quality of the graphics were superior only on the World Wide Web. The study raises librarians' awareness about omissions, deletion information, location and changes in title, graphics and pictures that occur when a periodical is accessed in different formats. Tables, a bibliography, and a literature review are provided.

description: Heat dissipation is a very critical problem for designing nano-functional devices, including MoS2/Graphene heterojunctions. In this paper we investigate thermal transport in MoS2/Graphene hybrid nanosheets under various heating conditions, by using molecular dynamics simulation. Diverse transport processes and characteristics, depending on the conducting layers, are found in these structures. The thermal conductivities can be tuned by interlayer coupling, environment temperature and interlayer overlap. The highest thermal conductivity at room temperature is achieved as more than 5 times of that of single layer MoS2 when both layers are heated and 100% overlapped. Different transport mechanisms in the hybrid nanosheets are explained by phonon density of states, temperature distribution, and ITR. Our results not only could provide clues to master the heat transport in functional devices based on MoS2/Graphene heterojunctions, but also are useful to analyze thermal transport in other van der Waals hybrid nanosheets.

description: The purpose of this exploratory study is to establish a set of design guidelines, based on a review of literature, for developing elementary school websites that are more effective in delivering useful information to parents and facilitating two-way, home-school communication as a means of enhancing parental involvement, and then to apply those guidelines to a select sample of schools that enroll children in kindergarten through fifth grade to see how they compare. Thus, I started the study with two questions. First, what structure, content, and tools make a school website more effective in delivering useful information to parents and facilitating two-way home-school communication? Second, how does a select sample of school websites compare? These were the major concerns of the study. Overall, the schools in this study sample need to improve their methods for delivering useful content and interactive communication tools to better facilitate home-school communication.

description: In order to unravel the present situation of the PBH overproduction problem, our study emphasizes the critical role played by the equation of state (EoS) parameter $w$ within the framework of effective field theory (EFT) of non-singular bounce. Our analysis focuses on a wide range of EoS parameter values that are still optimal for explaining the latest data from the pulsar timing array (PTA). As a result of our study, the most advantageous window, $0.31 \leq w \leq 1/3$, is identified as the location of a substantial PBH abundance, $f_{\rm PBH} \in (10^{-3},1)$ with large mass PBHs, $M_{\rm PBH}\sim {\cal O}(10^{-7}-10^{-3})M_{\odot}$, in the SIGW interpretation of the PTA signal. When confronted with PTA, we find that the overproduction avoiding circumstances are between $1σ-2σ$, while the EoS parameter lies inside the narrow window, $0.31

Validating the surface flux ECUME and ECUME6 parameterizations used in the HARMONIE model
Creators: name: Van Den Brekel, Sophie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: EUREC4A NWP surface fluxes parameterizations

description: The exchange of energy and mass between the ocean and atmosphere plays a crucial role in shaping
 oceanic and atmospheric circulation patterns. However, accurately representing these air-sea fluxes
 remains a challenge for current weather and climate models. Improving the accuracy of bulk flux parameterizations
 is crucial to improve the quality of weather forecasts and climate predictions, as these
 parameterizations play a fundamental role in estimating the air-sea fluxes. This study aims to evaluate the
 performance of the ECUME and ECUME6 parameterizations in simulating air-sea fluxes by utilizing in
 situ observations obtained from R/V Ron Brown and R/V Meteor, and conducting a comparison with the
 COARE3.6 parameterization.
 To evaluate the ECUME and ECUME6 parameterizations, surface flux diagnostics are established, which
 illustrate how air-sea fluxes vary with changes in the respective atmospheric variables. By comparing
 the surface flux diagnostics of the in situ observations with those of the parameterizations, sources of
 error are identified. The analysis reveals that both ECUME and ECUME6 tend to overestimate the heat
 fluxes in comparison to EC observations and the COARE3.6 parameterization, with ECUME6 exhibiting a
 larger overestimation. The degree of overestimation becomes more pronounced as wind speeds increase.
 Concerning the momentum flux, the parameterizations exhibit an underestimation, with the discrepancy
 becoming more significant at elevated wind speeds.
 By employing an offline model for ECUME and COARE3.6, the iteratively obtained parameters are
 compared. This analysis demonstrates that the air-sea fluxes derived from the parameterizations strongly
 depend on the determined neutral transfer coefficients. Addressing these sources of error and refining
 the parameterization methodology can improve the accuracy of the parameterizations and enhance their
 applicability for estimating air-sea exchange between the Earth’s surface and the atmosphere.

description: Pseudo-Newtonian potentials are a tool often used in theoretical astrophysics to capture some key features of a black-hole space-time in a Newtonian framework. As a result, one can use Newtonian numerical codes, and Newtonian formalism in general, in an effective description of important astrophysical processes such as accretion onto black holes. In this paper we develop a general pseudo-Newtonian formalism which pertains to the motion of particles, light, and fluids in stationary space-times. In return, we are able to assess the applicability of the pseudo-Newtonian scheme. The simplest and most elegant formulas are obtained in space-times without gravitomagnetic effects, such as the Schwarzschild rather than the Kerr space-time; the quantitative errors are smallest for motion with low binding energy. Included is a ready-to-use set of fluid equations in Schwarzschild space-time in Cartesian and radial coordinates.

description: When the planet formation process begins in the disks surrounding young stars is still an open question. Annular substructures such as rings and gaps in disks are intertwined with planet formation, and thus their presence or absence is commonly used to investigate the onset of this process. Current observations show a limited number of disks surrounding protostars exhibiting annular substructures, all of them in the Class I stage. The lack of observed features in most of these sources may indicate a late emergence of substructures, but it could also be an artifact of these disks being optically thick. To mitigate the problem of optical depth, we investigate substructures within a very young Class 0 disk characterized by a low inclination using observations at longer wavelengths. We use 3 mm ALMA observations tracing dust emission at a resolution of 7 au to search for evidence of annular substructures in the disk around the deeply embedded Class 0 protostar Oph A SM1. The observations reveal a nearly face-on disk (i$\sim$16$^{\circ}$) extending up to 40 au. The radial intensity profile shows a clear deviation from a smooth profile near 30 au, which we interpret as the presence of either a gap at 28 au or a ring at 34 au with Gaussian widths of $σ=1.4^{+2.3}_{-1.2}$ au and $σ=3.9^{+2.0}_{-1.9}$ au, respectively. The 3 mm emission at the location of the possible gap or ring is determined to be optically thin, precluding the possibility that this feature in the intensity profile is due to the emission being optically thick. Annular substructures resembling those in the more evolved Class I and II disks could indeed be present in the Class 0 stage, earlier than previous observations suggested. Similar observations of embedded disks in which the high optical depth problem can be mitigated are clearly needed to better constrain the onset of substructures in the embedded stages.

description: Recent statistics indicate that many minority populations are not being well served by our educational system. Multicultural literature in school libraries can have a role in reversing this trend, through literature's role as counter-storytelling.
This study examines the library collection of public middle schools in Fairfax County, Virginia for the number of African American and Hispanic fiction titles relative to the entire fiction collection and how many ALA award titles each school holds compared to their ethnic population. All had some titles regardless of ethnic population and showed a trend toward more titles with a higher ethnic population. However, percent titles held was very low relative to percent population. Total ethnic award titles collected were also low indicating an underused resource.

description: Macrofaunal diversity and composition are essential to understanding the ecosystem structures and functions of mangroves in any dynamic estuarine coast. To understand the temporal distribution of macrofaunal community structures and diversity on the surface sediment in the intertidal mangrove forest next to the seagrass beds, this study was conducted at Punang-Sari-River estuary, Lawas, Sarawak (Malaysian Borneo), South China Sea. Sampling was done during post-monsoon, intermediate-September, premonsoon, and monsoon from July 2019 to February 2020. The mean macrofauna abundance was higher pre-monsoon, while Gastropoda Optediceros breviculum (L. Pfeiffer, 1855) was the most abundant (RA = 0.704). Important species index (ISI = 70.36) and percentage of contribution (64.97%) were also higher of this species than any other records from the site. The ANOSIM (Analysis of Similarity), Jaccard index and SIMPER (Similarity Percentage Analysis) analysis suggested that the highest species abundance similarity was observed between pre-monsoon and monsoon, while the highest dissimilarity was observed between intermediate-September and pre-monsoon (74.67%). Seasonal PCA, nMDS, and cluster analysis revealed that pre-monsoon and monsoon were comparable in species and individual abundance. The dominance (0.85) was found significantly higher (P < 0.0001) in intermediate-September, while Simpson (0.734), Shannon (1.56) and Evenness indices (0.528) were found higher in monsoon, followed by the higher Margalef richness indices (3.21) in post-monsoon. It was observed that the seasonal ecological parameters were found to be significantly (P<0.05) different, including the temperature, salinity, rainfall, pore water nitrogenous compounds (NO2, NO3 and NH3-N), phosphorus compound (PO4) and micro minerals. The Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) results suggested that ecological factors influenced several species. Considering the few studies on mangrove macrofauna in Malaysian Borneo, further research on their trophic structures and food web interactions is very important to disclose their overall characteristics and ecosystem functions.

Illness narratives

description: This study examines the holdings of illness narratives in collections among institutional members of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) in order to determine the extent to which these types of materials are represented and as one illustration of library support for the medical humanities. A random sample of titles was selected through a targeted WorldCat search. To gather holdings information, these titles were then individually searched in ARL library collections via WorldCat. From an initial list of 4768 titles, a total of 158 titles were searched across 97 libraries. The results showed that, on average, any particular sampled title was held by 25% of ARL member libraries and that an individual ARL member library held 9% of the sampled titles. Overall, these results reflect extremely low collecting rates for illness narratives. In light of growing interest in the medical humanities and the emergence of social movements in health, libraries are encouraged to consider developing collections of illness narratives.

description: Generating synthetic text addresses the challenge of data availability in privacy-sensitive domains such as healthcare. This study explores the applicability of synthetic data in real-world medical settings. We introduce MedSyn, a novel medical text generation framework that integrates large language models with a Medical Knowledge Graph (MKG). We use MKG to sample prior medical information for the prompt and generate synthetic clinical notes with GPT-4 and fine-tuned LLaMA models. We assess the benefit of synthetic data through application in the ICD code prediction task. Our research indicates that synthetic data can increase the classification accuracy of vital and challenging codes by up to 17.8% compared to settings without synthetic data. Furthermore, to provide new data for further research in the healthcare domain, we present the largest open-source synthetic dataset of clinical notes for the Russian language, comprising over 41k samples covering 219 ICD-10 codes.

However, so far, no vdW crystal has exhibited tunable above-room-temperature intrinsic ferromagnetism in the 2D ultrathin regime.

By increasing the Fe content, the Curie temperature (TC) and room-temperature saturation magnetization of bulk Fe$_{3+x}$GaTe$_2$ crystals are enhanced from 354 to 376 K and 43.9 to 50.4 emu/g, respectively. Remarkably, the robust anomalous Hall effect in 3-nm Fe$_{3.3}$GaTe$_2$ indicate a record-high TC of 340 K and a large room-temperature perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy of 6.6 * 10^5 J/m$^3$, superior to other ultrathin vdW ferromagnets. First-principles calculations reveal the asymmetric density of states and an additional large spin exchange interaction in ultrathin Fe$_{3+x}$GaTe$_2$ responsible for robust intrinsic ferromagnetism and higher Tc. This work opens a window for above-room-temperature ultrathin 2D magnets in vdW-integrated spintronics.

description: This is an abstract from the session entitled "Diverse and Enduring: Archaeology from Across the Asian Diaspora" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper explores the context following Japanese-American incarceration in the United States after WWII using the Redman-Hirahara Farmstead. Built at the turn of the 20th century, this property showcases one family’s unique journey navigating this period. The Hirahara family moved into the Victorian farmstead in Watsonville, CA in 1941. Following the war, the Hiraharas uniquely returned to their farm in Watsonville where they offered another Japanese family, the Hanes, to stay in their carriage barn. Excavations of the farmstead in 2005 revealed a collection of artifacts pertaining to this extended legacy of the house, presenting new lines of evidence for how incarceration may shift consumer activities, alter material representation, and overlap with the daily operations of historic west coast farmsteads. These intertwined family stories, paired with ethnographic accounts from the region, reveal the many challenges the Hiraharas faced upon their return to their previous livelihoods, home, and community.
T-duality of a bosonic string in a weakly curved space-time
Creators: name: Dedić, Sonja

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this article we consider T-dualization of a $3D$ closed bosonic string that is propagating in space-time metric that has infinitesimal linear dependence on the coordinates $x^μ$. Other fields, Kalb-Ramond and dilaton fields are set to zero. Action with this configuration of fields is not invariant to translations. In order to find T-dual theory we will employ generalization of the Buscher procedure that can be applied to such cases where we have coordinate dependent fields that do not possess translational isometry. Finally, using transformation laws that connect coordinates of starting and T-dual theories, we will be able to examine the geometric structure of T-dual theory.
Mormon Vampires: The Twilight Saga and Religious Literacy

description: This study is a content analysis of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga and a guide to Mormon Literacy. It examines the three current novels in the Saga and analyzes them in respect to central tenets of the Mormon faith. As a result of this study, the limitations of Meyer's religion as seen through her writing are thoroughly explored, revealing the unique boundaries through which her beliefs force her to work. By abstaining from explicitly mentioning aspects of Mormon doctrine, Meyer nevertheless creates imaginative characters and scenarios, though the resulting texts still carry an undeniable and inescapable air of Latter-day Saint values.

description: We studied the temperature dependences of the optical spectra for optimally and underdoped Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{10+z}$ single crystals. Similarly to the other cuprates' cases, a gap-like conductivity suppression was observed with reducing the temperature from above $T_{\mathrm{c}}$, creating a peak in the conductivity spectrum. The conductivity peak energy was insensitive to the doping level, namely $T_{\mathrm{c}}$, which suggests that this gap is not a superconducting gap but is related to the pseudogap. Comparing the data of various mono-, double-, and triple-layer cuprates, we found a clear correlation between the optimal $T_{\mathrm{c}}$ of each material and the pseudogap-related conductivity peak energy.

Choices in the Wilderness:  The Effect of Gender on Robinsonades

Subjects: Content analysis--Young adult literature
Adolescence in literature

Boys in literature

description: The purpose of this content analysis was to determine if the plot divisions of wilderness survival novels, or Robinsonades, written for young adults differ between the novels with male protagonists and those with female protagonists. Twelve novels were chosen, six with female protagonists and six with male protagonists. The novels were each broken into their plot divisions and were examined to determine how gender played a part in how the plot was developed. It was found that the gender of the protagonist does affect all of the plot divisions. Within the plot divisions the boys are generally more independent and aggressive than the girls, while the girls are generally shown as being maternal, in need of companionship, and dependent on their cultural background. However many of the female protagonists also show traits that are stereotypically associated with the male gender.
Riordan trees and the homotopy $sl_2$ weight system

description: The purpose of this paper is twofold. On one hand, we introduce a modification of the dual canonical basis for invariant tensors of the 3-dimensional irreducible representation of $U_q(sl_2)$, given in terms of Jacobi diagrams, a central tool in quantum topology. On the other hand, we use this modified basis to study the so-called homotopy $sl_2$ weight system, which is its restriction to the space of Jacobi diagrams labeled by distinct integers. Noting that the $sl_2$ weight system is completely determined by its values on trees, we compute the image of the homotopy part on connected trees in all degrees; the kernel of this map is also discussed.

description: We analyse a model for fault-tolerant quantum computation with low overhead suitable for situations where the noise is biased. The basis for this scheme is a gadget for the fault-tolerant preparation of magic states that enable universal fault-tolerant quantum computation using only Clifford gates that preserve the noise bias. We analyse the distillation of $|T\rangle$-type magic states using this gadget at the physical level, followed by concatenation with the 15-qubit quantum Reed-Muller code, and comparing our results with standard constructions. In the regime where the noise bias (rate of Pauli $Z$ errors relative to other single-qubit errors) is greater than a factor of 10, our scheme has lower overhead across a broad range of relevant noise rates.

Young adults' library services

description: Best practices guidelines for young adult services agree that public libraries should provide teens with a separate room to house teen materials, and that each library should have a professional MLS librarian who specializes in teen services. A sample of five local public libraries was examined through observation and collection of circulation statistics to see whether the presence of a physical teen space and a qualified young adult librarian had an impact on the circulation of young adult materials in public libraries. Results showed little impact of these two factors on young adult circulation. There was, however, a strong relationship between the presence of a qualified young adult librarian and the existence of a separate teen room.

description: Long-range frequency hopping spread spectrum (LR-FHSS) is a pivotal advancement in the LoRaWAN protocol that is designed to enhance the network's capacity and robustness, particularly in densely populated environments. Although energy consumption is paramount in LoRaWAN-based end devices, {this is the first study} in the literature, to our knowledge, that models the impact of this novel mechanism on energy consumption. In this article, we provide a comprehensive energy consumption analytical model of LR-FHSS, focusing on three critical metrics: average current consumption, battery lifetime, and energy efficiency of data transmission. The model is based on measurements performed on real hardware in a fully operational LR-FHSS network. While in our evaluation, LR-FHSS can show worse consumption figures than LoRa, we find that with optimal configuration, the battery lifetime of LR-FHSS end devices can reach 2.5 years for a 50 min notification period. For the most energy-efficient payload size, this lifespan can be extended to a theoretical maximum of up to 16 years with a one-day notification interval using a cell-coin battery.

description: Niobium polyhydride was synthesized at high pressure and high temperature conditions by using diamond anvil cell combined with in situ high pressure laser heating techniques. High pressure electric transport experiments demonstrate that superconducting transition occurs with critical temperature(Tc) 42 K at 187 GPa. The shift of Tc as function of external applied magnetic field is in consistent to the nature of superconductivity while the upper critical field at zero temperature Hc2(0) is estimated to~16.8 Tesla while the GL coherent length ~57 angstrom is estimated. The structure investigation using synchrotron radiation implies that the observed superconductivity may come from Fm-3m phase of NbH3.
