 Diagnosis. Females without tubercle-mounted setae (or setose tubercles) on meri of posterior pereopods, distinct cap-like flagellar segment on the antennule present, dorsal margin of cheliped carpus with setae. Cephalothorax about 1.1 times as long as wide, without demarcation of second thoracomere. Cheliped coxal sclerite with three setae, carpus with setose dorsal margin. Ischium of pereopod 1 with two setae; dorsoproximal seta on basis of pereopod 1 shorter than basis width, longer distal seta of carpus of pereopod 1 shorter than carpus, dactylus of pereopod 1 without proximal seta; two setae on ischia of pereopods 2 and 3, propodi of posterior pereopods with dorsodistal setae, uropod exopod one-segmented. Body length about 5.5 times width. Males without mid-ventral carpal or propodal apophyses on cheliped; dactyli of the posterior pereopods with distal setules. All pereonites longer than wide. Propodus of cheliped not gaping, without distal tooth-like apophysis in gap between fingers.
 Recently described by Araújo-Silva & Larsen (2012); distinguished in being without a demarcation of the second thoracomere on the carapace, having the uropod exopod 1-segmented, the ischium of pereopod 1 with two setae, without tubercle-mounted setae (or setose tubercles) on meri of the posterior pereopods, with a distal cap-like flagellar segment on the antennule. The males are extremely elongate, with pereonites 3 to 6 about four times as long as wide (wider than long in the other konariin genera), with distal setules on the dactyli of the posterior pereopods. The cheliped of the male is similar to that of Pseudoleptochelia (see below).

Cities in interaction
Creators: name: Peris, Antoine
Publisher: name: A+BE | Architecture and the Built Environment

description: Cities never function in isolation but as nodes in overarching systems characterised by flows of goods, people, and information. To fully understand the evolution of cities, a relational approach is needed, which investigates cities in relation to other cities and urban regions. While a significant part of urban system research has focused on aspects such as the concentration of populations and economic activities, the understanding of the actual networks connecting cities and their impact is still limited. However, the required data is notoriously difficult to obtain. This dissertation contributes to knowledge on the relationship between cities in the Netherlands by exploiting – in novel ways – three data sources: web pages mentioning cities, local historical newspapers, and administrative registers. After providing an overview of the systems of cities literature, the toponym co-occurrences method is explored. This method aims at identifying patterns of relations between cities in a systematic way by looking at the co-mentions of cities in text documents (here in web pages). Using text as data appeared as a great direction for studying urban systems, and elements from this first exploration are used in the next section of the thesis where the past dynamics of the Dutch urban system is reconstructed using information flows retrieved from digitised historical newspapers. Finally in a last empirical part, the potential of information from individual-level registers about professional and residential trajectories for measuring relations between places at multiple spatial scales is investigated. This measure is then used to reveal the nested hierarchy of functional regions in the Netherlands.

description: Resource development issues remain topical in Queensland, with continued high rates of vegetation clearing and arguments that up to 15 million hectares of tropical woodland areas in the state could be profitably developed. In this paper the contribution of pasture development to beef production in the state is assessed. It appears that the gains from pasture development are partially offset by other losses in pasture production. Potential reasons for these losses are considered. The decline in pasture production following a spike in productivity after tree clearing is considered in some detail. Preliminary values for the opportunity costs of this pasture rundown are assessed.

description: The long-run commercial viability of ethanol production depends on the ability to access an inexpensive and reliable supply of inputs as well as finding stable markets for ethanol and its co-products. A unique feature of ethanol plants is their position at the intersection of multiple supply chains which result in the production of grain products, livestock, and fuel (blended gasoline). The primary feedstock for first generation ethanol production is cereal grain (corn or wheat), while output from ethanol plants include not only ethanol for fuel, but also co-products used in livestock feeding. Transaction Cost Economics provides a lens through which to examine the juxtaposition of the multiple supply chain relationships that characterize the business environment for an ethanol plant. This paper examines the supply chain relationships in the Canadian ethanol industry within a transaction cost context. Sources of transaction costs and hold-up are identified, and inferences are drawn for the types of governance structures that may emerge in the long-run.

description: Recently, general point interactions in one dimension has been used to model a large number of different phenomena in quantum mechanics. Such potentials, however, requires some sort of regularization to lead to meaningful results. The usual ways to do so rely on technicalities which may hide important physical aspects of the problem. In this work we present a new method to calculate the exact Green functions for general point interactions in 1D. Our approach differs from previous ones because it is based only on physical quantities, namely, the scattering coefficients, $R$ and $T$, to construct $G$. Renormalization or particular mathematical prescriptions are not invoked. The simple formulation of the method makes it easy to extend to more general contexts, such as for lattices of $N$ general point interactions; on a line; on a half-line; under periodic boundary conditions; and confined in a box.

description: Precision farming has the potential to increase farm productivity, lower input costs and increase expected returns. Despite these potential benefits, the adoption of precision farming technology in Australia has been relatively slow. One of the reasons for this is the lack of information regarding the technology. This study investigated the information needs of farmers in relation to precision farming. The study was conducted in Western Australia and involved interviews with 400 farmers. The study identified current information gaps and information needs of farmers in relation to precision farming.

 Parakonarus Bird, 2011, 7–8; Edgar, 2012, 26.
 Diagnosis. Females with tubercle-mounted setae (or setose tubercles) on meri of the posterior pereopods, distinct flagellar segment on the antennule present or absent, dorsal margin of cheliped carpus with setae. Cephalothorax 1.3 to 1.5 times as long as wide, demarcation of second thoracomere by separation of carapace plates rather than by a groove. Cheliped coxal sclerite with two to four setae, carpus with numerous fine setae along dorsal margin. Ischium of pereopod 1 with two setae; dorsoproximal seta on basis of pereopod 1 longer than basis width, longer distal seta of carpus of pereopod 1 shorter than carpus, dactylus of pereopod 1 with proximal seta shorter than dactylus or absent; one or two setae on ischia of pereopods 2 and 3, propodi of posterior pereopods with dorsodistal spines, uropod exopod one-segmented. Body length normally>six times width. Males with mid-ventral carpal apophysis on cheliped, propodal ventral apophysis absent; dactyli of the posterior pereopods with distal setules. All pereonites wider than long. Propodus of cheliped not gaping, without distal tooth-like apophysis in gap between fingers.
 Species included: P. kopure Bird, 2011 (type-species); P. provincialis (Dollfus, 1898)? comb. nov.; P. fairgo (Bamber, 2005); P. robertsoni Edgar, 2012; P. juliae (Morales-Núñez, Heard & Alfaro, 2013) comb. nov.; P. corrigendum sp. nov.; P. sozo sp. nov.; P. oregmus sp. nov..
 Remarks. P. provincialis has a limited description, but is transferred to this genus on the basis of its onesegmented uropod exopod and the apparent ventral apophysis on the carpus of the male cheliped. Of the five welldescribed species of this genus for which females are known, P. oregmus, P. kopure, P. sozo and P. fairgo have two setae on the ischium of pereopod 1 in females (as do species of Pseudoleptochelia as restricted herein, but unlike species of Konarus); the single female of P. robertsoni examined by Edgar (2012) is described as having only one seta here, but this species may also be found to have two on examination of further material. Only P. oregmus is without a discernible distal cap-like segment on the antennule.

description: The far-infrared in-plane reflectivity of the organic superconductor $α_t$-(BEDT-TTF)$_{2}$I$_{3}$ is measured down to frequencies of 10 cm$^{-1}$; the optical conductivity is obtained by a Kramers-Kronig procedure. In the superconducting state an energy gap opens at 25 cm$^{-1}$ which corresponds to $2Δ/k_BT_c = 4.4$ in agreement with moderate coupling. Even well below $T_c=8$ K a considerable absorption remains for $\hbarω<2Δ$. We discuss different posibilities to explain this behaviour.

description: Using both multiple scattering theory and effective medium theory, we find that an acoustic metamaterial consisting of an array of spinning cylinders can possess a host of unusual properties including folded bulk and interface-state bands in the subwavelength regime. The folding of the bands has its origin in the rotation-induced antiresonance of the effective compressibility with its frequency at the angular velocity of the spinning cylinders, as well as in the rotational Doppler effect which breaks the chiral symmetry of the effective mass densities. Both bulk and interface-state bands exhibit remarkable variations as the filling fraction of the spinning cylinders is increased. In particular, a zero-frequency gap appears when exceeds a critical value. The uni-directional interface states bear interesting unconventional characteristics and their robust one-way transport properties are demonstrated numerically.

description: We analyze the consequences of seasonal variation in maternal consumption on child health using two nationally representative Gambian household surveys. Seasonal fluctuation in consumption stems from difficulties borrowing when incomes are low during the rainy season and saving when they peak after harvest. The resulting fluctuations in maternal nutritional intake can affect birth outcomes and lactational performance. Using mother fixed effects to isolate the effect of birth season, we find that child health—measured by weight-for-age and height-for-age—varies significantly with birth timing. Children in farm households born during dry seasons (February-June) fare considerably worse than siblings born in other seasons.

 Parakonarus fairgo Edgar, 2012, 34.
 Remarks. As remarked above, re-examination of paratype material has confirmed the second-thoracomere demarcation on the carapace of this species (as in P. oregmus, see Fig. 7A). The antenna has been re-examined (Fig. 6), confirming a dissimilarity to the conformation in Konarus (in which genus the peduncular article-2 flange is dorsal). Finally, however, there are two setae on the cheliped coxal sclerite.
 In addition, the presence of tubercle-mounted setae (or setose tubercles) on the merus of the posterior pereopods are now seen as a characterizing feature of Parakonarus (absent in Konarus). Other potential distinguishing characters mentioned by Bird (2011) are also confirmed, viz. the presence of some setae on the dorsal margin of the cheliped carpus (shown only in the males of P. robertsoni), the presence of a cap-like distal flagellum on the antennule, a cephalothorax distinctly longer than wide (1.3 to 1.5 times as long as wide in Parakonarus species; 1.0 to 1.1 times in Konarus species), dorsodistal spines on the propodi of the posterior pereopods, and the one-segmented uropod exopod. However, the number of setae on the cheliped coxal sclerite is not distinct, with two in all three species of Konarus, and two (P. fairgo), three (P. kopure) or four (P. robertsoni) in Parakonarus; the presence of two ischial setae on pereopods 2 and 3 is also found in Konarus straddi (but not the other two Konarus species, unless broken off in all the material examined), while the carpus of the posterior pereopods does have three distal spines in all the konariin taxa examined. Additionally, P. fairgo has a proximal seta on the dactylus of pereopod 1, as found in the species of Konarus, but not in the other two species of Parakonarus in which this feature could have been described.
 Unlike other species of Parakonarus, the “fixed finger” (ventroproximal extension) of the male cheliped does not bear a distal spine.

description: This paper examines the effects of distribution channels on demand for apparel, home textiles and other textiles (such as shoes) in urban China. The estimation procedure we use in this study is implemented in three steps. First, we estimate the price/unit value information; second, we estimate the parameters for the demand systems based on QAIDs model; third, we use the J-test and determine the best suitable model for the data set. The results indicate that households spend more on apparel than home textiles and other textile products such as shoes if they purchase textile products from small stores. It also indicates that they would spend more on home textiles and shoes if they purchase from chain stores and supermarkets.

description: With the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, school-related closures and the hasty transition into homeschooling, parents were required to take a more active and positive role than ever before in collaboration with their children’s educators. Thus, with this unprecedented situation, parents became an important source of information during the pandemic. Considering this unique event, the study at hand aims to explore parents’ perspectives regarding primary and upper secondary school teachers’ digital competence, digital differentiated instruction, and feedback during the first SARS-CoV-2 school shutdown in Germany. Additionally, the study examined parents’ evaluation of teachers’ characteristics. Results reveal that parental ratings were generally positive. Moreover, parents with children attending primary schools perceived and evaluated teachers’ digital competence and digital differentiated teaching highly, and perceived significantly more teacher feedback than parents whose children attend upper secondary school. In addition, positive correlations were found between parents’ evaluations of teachers’ feedback and how motivated, appreciative, and devoted teachers are perceived to be. Practical implications and further research areas are discussed.

description: This paper analyses the complex battle between RED and REDD policies and the resulting global consequences on land use, agricultural production, international trade flows and world food prices. A key methodological challenge is the representation of land use and the possibility to convert forestry land into agricultural land as REDD policies might prevent the use of forestry and wood lands for agriculture. The paper introduces a flexible land supply function allowing large changes in the total potential land availability for agriculture due to environmental considerations such as reducing emissions from deforestation. The parameters of the new land supply function are defined as variables of the model. In the paper, we simplify the implementation of the REDD policies as a shift in potential availability for agricultural land in various regions in the world. Both analysed policies are designed to save emissions but their land use impacts are opposite. The paper shows that global RED policies expand global land use with 3% relative to the baseline. Land abundant countries such as Canada, USA and Indonesia extend their use of agricultural land and their agricultural production. Severe REDD policies that protect all forest and woodlands in especially tropical land abundant regions such as Central and South America, South Africa and Indonesia imply a global reduction of agricultural land by 5% and lead to higher food and land prices. REDD policies reverse production and trade patterns as previous land abundant countries become land scarce countries.

description: The capability to temporarily arrest the propagation of optical signals is one of the main challenges hampering the ever more widespread use of light in rapid long-distance transmission as well as all-optical on-chip signal processing or computations. To this end, flat-band structures are of particular interest, since their hallmark compact eigenstates do not only allow for the localization of wave packets, but importantly also protect their transverse profile from deterioration without the need for additional diffraction management. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate that, far from being a nuisance to be compensated, judiciously tailored loss distributions can in fact be the key ingredient in synthesizing such flat bands in non-Hermitian environments. We probe their emergence in the vicinity of an exceptional point and directly observe the associated compact localised modes that can be excited at arbitrary positions of the periodic lattice.

description: In this paper, we take the yield impacts of Schlenker and Roberts (2009), specifically on cotton, under a range of uniform temperature changes and apply it to a global fiber model to map changes in cotton production and prices. Although we use the 2011-2020 time period, the results should be viewed more as potential long-term market adjustments in the absence of new technology rather than a specific forecast. We find that in terms of extreme higher temperatures in the U.S. alone (+5°C) results in higher cotton prices as much as 17% against the baseline over the 2011-2020 projection period as production is cut back, on average, by 1.8%. Meanwhile, a 5°C increase in temperature in the U.S. and the rest-of-the-world (ROW) induces a price increase of as much as 135%, on average, throughout the projection period given a lower production of 20% from baseline levels that ignore temperature changes. More modest temperature changes (+1°C) result in much more modest (+6% in price and -1.3% in global production) changes in the cotton market.

description: Galaxy clusters constitute powerful cosmological probes thanks to comparisons between observed and simulated clusters. As such Virgo constitutes a formidable source for detailed observations facilitated by its proximity. However, the diversity of clusters complicates the comparisons on a one-to-one basis. Simulated clusters must be carefully selected, a daunting task since most properties are unknown. Alternatively, lookalikes produced in the proper large scale environment can be used. Additionally, their statistical study give access to the mean properties of the observed cluster including its most probable history as well as its deviation from an average cluster. This paper presents such a statistical study with 200 Virgo-like and 400+ cluster-size random dark matter halos. Only 18%(0.5%) of these random halos comply within 3(2)-sigma with the mean values (radius, velocity dispersion, number of substructures, spin, velocity, concentration, center of mass offset with respect to the spherical center) of Virgo halos at z=0 and abide by a similar merging history up to redshift 4. None are within 1-sigma because of environmentally induced properties (number of substructures and velocity). For further comparisons, random halos are selected to reproduce the mass distribution of the lookalikes to cancel mass bias effects. Redshift 1 appears then as a turning point: random to Virgo-like property ratios are alternatively smaller/larger than 1. This highlights the importance of studying clusters within their proper large scale environment: simulated galaxy population, grandly affected by the cluster history, can then be compared with the observed one in details. Direct lookalikes simplify grandly the challenge.

description: The potential contributions of new biotechnologies to sustainable food and income security have been the subject of widespread discussions around the turn of the twenty-first century. But distributional issues of which segments of GMO adopters benefit the most have not been given ample attention. Using propensity scores, we apply the (a) stratification-multilevel method of estimating heterogeneous treatment effects (SM-HTE); and the (b) matching-smoothing method of estimating heterogeneous treatment effects (MS-HTE) proposed by Xi, Brand, and Jann (2011). We find that the incidence of higher yields, lower insecticide use and reduced seed utilization in the Philippines diminishes progressively as a farmer’s propensity to adopt Bt corn increases. Farmers with a low propensity to adopt Bt are those who farm smaller, non-irrigated farms located farther from seed suppliers and farmers without previous training on pest identification. In most cases, while these farmers are typically poorer farmers in smaller parcels, cannot afford irrigation and are situated in remote areas away from easily accessible seed suppliers, there is no evidence, however, that profits differ across farmers with varying propensities to adopt the Bt variety.

Controllability properties for finite dimensional quantum Markovian master equations

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Various notions from geometric control theory are used to characterize the behavior of the Markovian master equation for N-level quantum mechanical systems driven by unitary control and to describe the structure of the sets of reachable states. It is shown that the system can be accessible but neither small-time controllable nor controllable in finite time. In particular, if the generators of quantum dynamical semigroups are unital, then the reachable sets admit easy characterizations as they monotonically grow in time. The two level case is treated in detail.

 Remarks:
I was unable to locate the type. It was not found at the BMNH or at the Hope Entomological Collections, Oxford University, where WESTWOOD’S collections are apt to be found. WESTWOOD’S description is not adequate to place this species to genus. He described the species from a male from “ Mexico.” The following is from WESTWOOD: Black, very slender. Face, lower and behind part of head red brown, head small. Palpi black brown. Scape red brown. Neck lengthened, ventral red brown. Wings clear, distal end blackish, stigma black. Front and mid legs red brown, hind legs with coxa and femur blackish, knees red brown, tibia rusty, tarsus red brown with blackish distal end. Metasoma laterally compressed.

Coulomb Drag for Strongly Localized Electrons: Pumping Mechanism

description: The mutual influence of two layers with strongly loclized electrons is exercised through the random Coulomb shifts of site energies in one layer caused by electron hops in the other layer. We trace how these shifts give rise to a voltage drop in the passive layer, when a current is passed through the active layer. We find that the microscopic origin of drag lies in the time correlations of the occupation numbers of the sites involved in a hop. These correlations are neglected within the conventional Miller-Abrahams scheme for calculating the hopping resistance.

Inclusive semileptonic branching ratios of b hadrons produced in Z decays
Creators: name: ALEPH Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A measurement of the inclusive semileptonic branching ratios of b hadrons produced in Z decay is presented, using four million hadronic events collected by the ALEPH detector from 1991 to 1995. Electrons and muons are selected opposite to b-tagged hemispheres. Two different methods are explored to distinguish the contributions from direct $\bl$ and cascade $\bcl$ decays to the total lepton yield. One is based on the lepton transverse momentum spectrum, the other makes use of the correlation between the charge of the lepton and charge estimators built from tracks in the opposite hemisphere of the event. The latter method reduces the dependence on the modelling of semileptonic b decays. The results obtained by averaging the two techniques are BR(b->l) = 0.1070 +- 0.0010 +- 0.0023 +- 0.0026 BR(b->c->l) = 0.0818 +- 0.0015 +- 0.0022 + 0.0022 -0.0014

description: In modern Deep Learning, it has been a trend to design larger Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) for the execution of more complex tasks and better accuracy. On the other hand, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have become the standard method for most of computer vision tasks. However, the memory allocation for the intermediate data in convolution layers can cause severe memory pressure during model training. Many solutions have been proposed to resolve the problem. Besides hardware-dependent solutions, a general methodology rematerialization can reduce GPU memory usage by trading computation for memory efficiently. The idea is to select a set of intermediate results during the forward phase as checkpoints, and only save them in memory to reduce memory usage. The backward phase recomputes the intermediate data from the closest checkpoints in memory as needed. This recomputation increases execution time but saves memory by not storing all intermediate results in memory during the forward phase. In this paper, we will focus on efficiently finding the optimal checkpoint subset to achieve the least peak memory usage during the model training. We first describe the theoretical background of the training of a neural network using mathematical equations. We use these equations to identify all essential data required during both forward and backward phases to compute the gradient of weights of the model. We first identify the checkpoint selection problem and propose a dynamic programming algorithm with time complexity O(n3) to solve the problem of finding the optimal checkpoint subset. With extensive experiments, we formulate a more accurate description of the problem using our theoretical analysis and revise the objective function based on the tracing, and propose an O(n)-time algorithm for finding the optimal checkpoint subset.

Phase transition in a network model of social balance with Glauber dynamics

description: We study the evolution of a social network with friendly/enmity connections into a balanced state by introducing a dynamical model with an intrinsic randomness, similar to Glauber dynamics in statistical mechanics. We include the possibility of the tension promotion as well as the tension reduction in our model. Such a more realistic situation enables the system to escape from local minima in its energy landscape and thus to exit out of frozen imbalanced states, which are unwanted outcomes observed in previous models. On the other hand, in finite networks the dynamics takes the system into a balanced phase, if the randomness is lower than a critical value. For large networks, we also find a sharp phase transition at the initial positive link density of $ρ_0^*=1/2$, where the system transitions from a bipolar state into a paradise. This modifies the gradual phase transition at a nontrivial value of $ρ_0^*=0.65$, observed in recent studies.

description: In this article, we discuss the idea of gravitational lensing, from a systematic, historical and didactic point of view. We show how the basic lensing equation together with the concepts of geometrical optics opens a space of implications that can be explored along different dimensions. We argue that Einstein explored the idea along different pathways in this space of implication, and that these explorations are documented by different calculational manuscripts. The conceptualization of the idea of gravitational lensing as a space of exploration also shows the feasibility of discussing the idea in the classroom using some of Einstein's manuscripts.
