Remarks
Odontoscelio sp. 1. is closest to O. agnieleae sp. nov. and Odontoscelio sp. 3, but differs from them in the following characters: T3 with space between costae narrow, posteroventral mesopleuron with indistinct transverse carinae, and foveae on episternum and ventral mesopleuron not arranged in definite rows. In the latter two species the costae on T3 are distantly spaced, the posteroventral mesopleuron has distinct carinae separating depressions, and the foveae on the episternum and ventral mesopleuron are arranged in distinct rows.
A full description and diagnosis will have to await the discovery of females of this species.

description: Recent advancements in deep learning-based wearable human action recognition (wHAR) have improved the capture and classification of complex motions, but adoption remains limited due to the lack of expert annotations and domain discrepancies from user variations. Limited annotations hinder the model's ability to generalize to out-of-distribution samples. While data augmentation can improve generalizability, unsupervised augmentation techniques must be applied carefully to avoid introducing noise. Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) addresses domain discrepancies by aligning conditional distributions with labeled target samples, but vanilla pseudo-labeling can lead to error propagation. To address these challenges, we propose μDAR, a novel joint optimization architecture comprised of three functions: (i) consistency regularizer between augmented samples to improve model classification generalizability, (ii) temporal ensemble for robust pseudo-label generation and (iii) conditional distribution alignment to improve domain generalizability. The temporal ensemble works by aggregating predictions from past epochs to smooth out noisy pseudo-label predictions, which are then used in the conditional distribution alignment module to minimize kernel-based class-wise conditional maximum mean discrepancy (kCMMD) between the source and target feature space to learn a domain invariant embedding. The consistency-regularized augmentations ensure that multiple augmentations of the same sample share the same labels; this results in (a) strong generalization with limited source domain samples and (b) consistent pseudo-label generation in target samples. The novel integration of these three modules in μDAR results in a range of ≈4-12% average macro-F1 score improvement over six state-of-the-art UDA methods in four benchmark wHAR datasets

description: The LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA gravitational wave observatories are currently undertaking their O4 observing run offering the opportunity to discover new electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave events. We examine the capability of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Swift) to respond to these triggers, primarily binary neutron star mergers, with both the UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) and the X-ray Telescope (XRT). We simulate Swift's response to a trigger under different strategies using model skymaps, convolving these with the 2MPZ catalogue to produce an ordered list of observing fields, deriving the time taken for Swift to reach the correct field and simulating the instrumental responses to modelled kilonovae and short gamma-ray burst afterglows. We find that UVOT using the $u$ filter with an exposure time of order 120 s is optimal for most follow-up observations and that we are likely to detect counterparts in $\sim6$% of all binary neutron star triggers. We find that the gravitational wave 90% error area and measured distance to the trigger allow us to select optimal triggers to follow-up. Focussing on sources less than 300 Mpc away or 500 Mpc if the error area is less than a few hundred square degrees, distances greater than previously assumed, offer the best opportunity for discovery by Swift with $\sim5 - 30$% of triggers having detection probabilities $\geq 0.5$. At even greater distances, we can further optimise our follow-up by adopting a longer 250 s or 500 s exposure time.

description: Zinc selenide is an excellent matrix material to dope with rare-earth and transition metal to achieve mid-infrared luminescence to develop high power lasers. The luminescence, morphology and refractive index is significantly affected by the doping and defects generated due to size and valency of dopants, concentration, growth process and convection during the growth. The aim of the study is to investigate effect of point and line defects generated due to low doping of iron and chromium on the emission and morphology of the zinc selenide. Luminescence and morphological properties of large iron and chromium doped zinc selenide single crystals were studied to evaluate the effect of extremely low residual impurities and defects associated with the doping process. The emission properties following both short wavelength (i.e., ultraviolet; 350–370 nm) excitation and longer wavelength (i.e., near infrared; 850–870 nm) excitation were characterized. Luminescence emission bands were identified in both doped crystals. In addition to the primary emission bands, satellite peaks and intra-center transitions were also observed. Due to local population defects associated with the residual impurities (ppm to ppb) in the Fe-ZnSe and Cr-ZnSe crystals, peak emission wavelengths were observed to shift. The emission bands were found to decrease in intensity due to recombination of residual impurity co-dopants and complex defects generated during growth and fabrication. Cryogenic temperature analyses revealed a very clean emission band due to freezing of some of the point and line defects. An emission band observed at 980 nm for both crystals at room temperature as well as cryogenic temperatures indicates a vibronic peak in ZnSe. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the local morphology support the conclusion that small crystallites in doped crystals are also present.

Now: Lalage nigra nigra R. Forster, 1781. See Stresemann (1930: 19), Dickinson & Dekker (2002: 15).
Holotype: ZMB 1948 (Lichtenstein 1832, Nr. 31 sub “ Ceblepyris n. sp. ”), skin, juv., collected by Meyen [during 15 Sep–16 October 1831; see below] in “ Chile ” or “ Peru ” [= southern Luzon, Philippines; see below].
Type locality. M.H.C. Lichtenstein (1832; with question marks) and Meyen (1834a: 74) wrote that the holotype was collected in February in Chile, but it is of Lalage nigra Forster, 1781, an Old World member of the family Campephagidae (Stresemann 1930: 19, 1952: 520; our reexamination). Considering the range of this species (Taylor 2005: 99) and Meyen’s itinerary, the holotype could have been collected only in southern Luzon (at Manila or at Laguna de Bay). We thus ascertain the type locality as southern Luzon (Manila or Laguna Bay).

description: The demand for surface electromyography (sEMG) based exoskeletons is rapidly increasing due to their non-invasive nature and ease of use. With increase in use of Internet-of-Things (IoT) based devices in daily life, there is a greater acceptance of exoskeleton based rehab. As a result, there is a need for highly accurate and generalizable gesture classification mechanisms based on sEMG data. In this work, we present a framework which pre-processes raw sEMG signals with Empirical Fourier Decomposition (EFD) based approach followed by dimension reduction. This resulted in improved performance of the hand gesture classification. EFD decomposition’s efficacy of handling mode mixing problem on non-stationary signals, resulted in less number of decomposed components. In the next step, a thorough analysis of decomposed components as well as inter-channel analysis is performed to identify the key components and channels that contribute towards the improved gesture classification accuracy. As a third step, we conducted ablation studies on time-domain features to observe the variations in accuracy on different models. Finally, we present a case study of comparison of automated feature extraction based gesture classification vs. manual feature extraction based methods. Experimental results show that manual feature based gesture classification method thoroughly outperformed automated feature extraction based methods, thus emphasizing a need for rigorous fine tuning of automated models.

description: Many workers in cities across the world, who have been teleworking because of the COVID-19 pandemic, are expected to be back to their commutes. As this process is believed to be gradual and telecommuting is likely to remain an option for many workers, hybrid model and flexible schedules might become the norm in the future. This variable work schedules allows employees to commute outside of traditional rush hours. Moreover, many studies showed that commuters might be skeptical of using trains, buses, and carpools and could turn to personal vehicles to get to work, which might increase congestion and crashes in the roads. This study attempts to provide information on the safest time to commute to Washington, DC area analyzing historical traffic crash data before the COVID-19 pandemic. It also aims to advance our understanding of traffic crashes and other relating factors such as weather in the Washington, DC area. We created a model to predict crashes by time of the day, using a negative binomial regression after rejecting a Poisson regression, and additionally explored the validity of a Random Forest regression. Our main consideration for an eventual application of this study is to reduce crashes in Washington DC, using this tool that provides people with better options on when to commute and when to telework, if available. The study also provides policymakers and researchers with real-world insights that decrease the number of traffic crashes to help achieve the goals of The Vision Zero Initiative adopted by the district.

description: Sylvia flava Meyen, 1834a: 79.
Now: Zosterops meyeni meyeni Bonaparte, 1850. See Hartlaub (1865: 17), Gadow (1884: 180), Finsch (1901: 22).
Holotype: ZMB 4554 (Lichtenstein 1832, Nr. 29 sub “ Sylvia flava ”), skin, ♀, collected by Meyen in “ October ” [= 5 October 1831; Meyen 1835: 266] in “ Manila ” [= the Jalajala Peninsula, Luzon, Philippines; see below].
Type locality. M.H.C. Lichtenstein (1832) and Meyen (1834a: 79) said that the holotype was collected at “ Manila ”. In his travel report, Meyen (1835: 266) specified that he collected the bird in lowland forest between “ Hali-Hali ” [= Jalajala] and “ Monte Sembrano ” [= Mount Sembrano]. We thus ascertain the type locality as the Jalajala Peninsula between the village of Jalajala [14.35°N, 121.32°E] and Mount Sembrano [14.39°N, 121.37°E], southern Luzon, Philippines.
Remarks. In the genus Zosterops Vigors & Horsfield, 1827, Sylvia flava Meyen, 1834a is a junior secondary homonym of Dicaeum flavum Kittlitz (1833: 15, pl. 19) [= Zosterops meyeni Bonaparte, 1850] and of Dicaeum flavum Horsfield (1821: 170) [= Zosterops flavus (Horsfield, 1821)]. Bonaparte (1850: 398) introduced a new name for it, Zosterops meyeni, in the following way: “ Dicaeum flavum? Meyen. (Zosterops meyeni, Bp.) Kittl. Kupf. Vög. t. 19.2. ex Ins. Philipp. ” (his bold and italics). After consulting formatting in Bonaparte’s Conspectus Generum Avium (1850), we interpret this arrangement as meaning that Bonaparte presumed flava Meyen, 1834 and flavum Kittlitz, 1832 were, question mark notwithstanding: (1) conspecific, (2) both allotted to the genus Dicaeum prior to his revision in the Conspectus, and (3) both junior homonyms of Dicaeum flavum Horsfield, 1821 in Zosterops that had to be replaced with a new name, meyeni. Replacing two junior homonyms with a single common name in one nomenclatural act is most unusual and creates a problem in typification. The appropriate solution appears to be to treat the types of Dicaeum flavum Kittlitz, 1832 and Sylvia flava Meyen, 1834 as syntypes of Zosterops meyeni (ICZN 1999: Article 72.7). Should flavum Kittlitz and flava Meyen ever be separated taxonomically, application of meyeni Bonaparte can then be resolved by lectotypification. Specimen ZMB 4554 is thus the holotype of Sylvia flava Meyen and a syntype of Zosterops meyeni Bonaparte. This confirms that the lowland Zosterops of Luzon and adjacent islands should bear the name Zosterops meyeni meyeni Bonaparte, 1850 (see Hartlaub 1865: 17; Gadow 1884: 180; Finsch 1901: 22; van Balen 2008: 446).

description: The "Post-Roe" refers to the period following the June 2022 Supreme Court decision to overrule Roe v. Wade, the 1973 abortion right law. Since this overturn of this law, substantial public discourse was noticed across the US and this controversial issue has trended on all news media agencies and social media platforms. Several studies have analyzed public opinion and the impact of this legal change on healthcare, economic challenges, and society. However, little work has been done to identify the shift in discussion over time. Our research analyzes YouTube and Reddit comments to perceive insights into the evolving spectrum of public opinion on abortion legislation by utilizing NLP techniques and opinion mining. By systematically categorizing comments to extract themes and employing a temporal analysis approach, we identify shifts in public sentiment across different phases of time, such as immediate reactions, peak debate, and long-term responses. Our preliminary findings show that different themes prevail at different phases and primary concerns shift over time. This study might help policymakers, activists, and social commentators understand these shifts to effectively address the evolving concerns of the public and take measures accordingly.

description: TikTok is one of the most common content-creating social media platforms for youth in the USA. In recent years, its engaging content has significantly influenced people, shaping trends, behaviors, and communication styles among its predominantly young user base. This study evaluates TikTok's impact on college and university students as they invest a lot of time creating content and engaging on TikTok besides their studies. While existing research highlights TikTok's educational benefits and adverse societal and psychological effects, our mixed-method approach provides a focused analysis of student content creators. Survey data quantifies usage patterns and their correlation with academic and mental health indicators, while interviews offer qualitative insights into personal experiences. Findings reveal that TikTok affects students' time management, mental health, academic performance, and self-perception. Although TikTok facilitates creativity and social connections, it also induces stress and distraction. This study aims to fill research gaps and propose new directions, offering practical recommendations for balancing TikTok's benefits and drawbacks for student content creators.

Remarks
Odontoscelio sp. 2. is closest to O. agnieleae sp. nov. but differs from it in the following characters: in Odontoscelio sp. 2 the ocelli are placed above the level of the vertex, the eyes are bulging and the mesoscutum is areolate on the anterior half, the posterior half with widely spaced vertical carinae. In O. agnieleae sp. nov. the ocelli are level with the vertex, the eyes are not bulging and the mesoscutum is predominantly areolate.
The designation of this as a new species awaits the discovery of females.

description: In this study, a machine-learning based methodology is developed to mitigate the effects of ground clutter on precipitation estimates from the Global Precipitation Mission Combined Radar-Radiometer Algorithm. Ground clutter can corrupt and obscure precipitation echo in radar observations, leading to inaccuracies in precipitation estimates. To improve upon previous work, this study introduces a general machine learning (ML) approach that enables a systematic investigation and a better understanding of uncertainties in clutter mitigation. To allow for a less restrictive exploration of conditional relations between precipitation above the lowest clutter-free bin and surface precipitation, reflectivity observations above the clutter are included in a fixed-size set of predictors along with the precipitation type, surface type, and freezing level to estimate surface precipitation rates, and several ML-based estimation methods are investigated. A Neural Network Model (NN) is ultimately identified as the best candidate for systematic evaluations, as it is computationally fast to apply while effective in applications. The NN provides unbiased estimates; however, it does not significantly outperform a simple bias correction approach in reducing random errors in the estimates. The similar performance of other ML approaches suggests that the NN’s limited improvement beyond bias removal is due to indeterminacies in the data rather than limitations in the ML approach itself.
