description: This paper considers two Brownian motions in a situation where one is correlated to the other with a slight delay. We study the problem of estimating the time lag parameter between these Brownian motions from their high-frequency observations, which are possibly subject to measurement errors. The measurement errors are assumed to be i.i.d., centered Gaussian and independent of the latent processes. We investigate the asymptotic structure of the likelihood ratio process for this model when the lag parameter is asymptotically infinitesimal. We show that the structure of the limit experiment depends on the level of the measurement errors: If the measurement errors locally dominate the latent Brownian motions, the model enjoys the LAN property. Otherwise, the limit experiment does not result in typical ones appearing in the literature. The proof is based on the fact that the model is asymptotically equivalent to discrete observations of two Brownian motions under endogenous measurement errors. We also discuss the efficient estimation of the lag parameter to highlight the statistical implications.

 Type: — BRAZIL. s.l., s.d. (fl.), Martius s.n. (holotype, M [M 0213204]!).
 Syn.: Vellozia gracilis Seubert (1847: 81). Type: — BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Serra de Santo Antônio [“ S. de S. Ant.”], s.d. (fr.), Sellow B 1315 C 308 (holotype, B [B 100243299]!; isotypes, B [B 100243297, B 100243298]!, K!). Vellozia leptopetala Goethart & Henrard in Henrard (1937: 374). Type: — BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Serra da Lapa, November 1824 (fl. & fr.), [Langsdorff &] Riedel s.n. (holotype, L [L 0041320]!; probable isotype, LE [8 sheets]!), syn. nov.
 Notes: — Vellozia leptopetala was based on a Riedel’s collection that corresponds to V. epidendroides, a much older name. Among the paratypes of V. leptopetala, Gardner 5230 also represents V. epidendroides, and Glaziou 13266 has been also included by Goethart & Henrard (in Henrard 1937) among the paratypes of V. variegata Goethart & Henrard in Henrard (1937: 381). Vellozia leptopetala was mistakenly taken by Smith & Ayensu (1976: 88) as the correct name for V. epidendroides var. divaricata L.B. Sm., and for V. epidendroides var. major L.B. Sm. Since then, V. leptopetala has been inadvertently used to designate these varieties (Sazima 1978, Pinto et al. 1983, Menezes 1984, Menezes & Mello-Silva 1987, Salatino et al. 1989, Sazima & Sazima 1990, Williams et al. 1991, Menezes & Castro 2000, Franceschinelli et al. 2006, Garcia et al. 2007, Jacobi & Sarto 2007), which represent a clearly distinct taxon. For solving this situation, new synonyms of V. epidendroides and a new name are here presented.

description: Hibernation is linked with various hypotheses to explain the extended lifespan of hibernating mammals compared with their non-hibernating counterparts. Studies on telomeres, markers of ageing and somatic maintenance, suggest telomere shortening slows during hibernation and lengthening may reflect self-maintenance with favourable conditions. Bats in temperate zones adjust body temperatures during winter torpor to conserve energy and exploit mild conditions for foraging. Climate change may impact the hibernation cycle of bats, but more research is needed regarding the role of telomeres in understanding their response to a changing climate. Here relative telomere length (rTL) was measured in the long-lived greater horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum (n = 223 individuals) over three winters, considering climatic conditions. Cross-sectional analyses revealed between-individual variation in rTL with a strong year effect, likely linked to varying weather conditions and foraging success. Additionally, within-individual increases of rTL occurred in 51% of consecutive measurements, with evidence of increasing telomerase expression during hibernation in this species. These findings highlight the beneficial effects of hibernation on telomeres and potential consequences of changing climatic conditions for long-lived temperate bats. Understanding the interplay between hibernation, telomeres, and climate can provide insights into the adaptive capacity and survival of bat populations facing environmental challenges.

description: A total perfect code in a graph $Γ$ is a subset $C$ of $V(Γ)$ such that every vertex of $Γ$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex in $C$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a conjugation-closed subset of a group to be a total perfect code in a Cayley graph of the group. As an application we show that a Cayley graph on an elementary abelian $2$-group admits a total perfect code if and only if its degree is a power of $2$. We also obtain necessary conditions for a Cayley graph of a group with connection set closed under conjugation to admit a total perfect code.

description: Cryptocurrencies are mysteriously volatile. While the adoption of cryptocurrencies has grown significantly, little is known about their volatility and ability to forecast it. This research was designed to help investors overcome this challenge by enabling the prediction of cryptocurrency volatilities.
 Two research methods- Generalize Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic models and Quantile regression were adopted to investigate asymmetric volatilities associated with Bitcoin and examine the impact of Bitcoin Halving on price volatilities.
 The Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) modeling process showed that the exponential GARCH (EGARCH) model performed better than the standard GARCH(1,1) model and the Threshold GARCH ( TGARCH) model in capturing and predicting asymmetric volatilities in Bitcoin returns.
A SOLUTION-CULTURE ASSESSMENT OF PHOSPHORUS STATUS ON MAIZE GROWTH AND NUTRIENT DYNAMICS
Creators: name: Wiethorn, Matthew Alan
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: Agronomy

description: Phosphorus (P) is a key element for maize (Zea mays L.) production and plays many important roles in plants. Soil-buffering of P does not allow for precise control of solution concentrations in the field, while greenhouses, growth chambers, and hydroponics provide limiting conditions. Thus, an objective of this study was to develop a practical technique for cultivating several maize plants to physiological maturity (R6) in a growth room environment, with precise control of nutrient availability and timing, and evaluate its utility for the purpose of measuring plant responses to variations in P concentration using a silica-sand-based solution culture technique. A semi-automated growth room for conducting nutrient studies on 96 maize plants was constructed and evaluated to quantify plant growth response to a range of solution P concentrations. Maize yield components were measured and compared to values for field-grown plants. Due to ideal conditions and successful simulation of light intensity, diurnal fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity, and changing photoperiod, grain yield and tissue nutrient concentrations were comparable to field-grown maize, although with greater shoot biomass. The second objective was to quantify the uptake and partitioning of nutrients as affected by P concentration at various maize growth stages. Thus, two maize hybrids were grown under both sufficient and insufficient P fertility rates using the silica-sand-based solution culture technique. Throughout the growth stages, sufficient-P plants had more than double the biomass compared to insufficient-P plants. At R1, N partitioning followed a similar pattern in both treatments, while P remobilization differed, with insufficient-P plants relying on stem tissue and sufficient-P plants remobilizing P from leaf and root tissue for grain production. Plants grown under sufficient-P fertility matured more rapidly and reached physiological maturity (R6) sooner. Sufficient-P fertility resulted in 2- to 3-fold greater grain, leaf, stem, and root biomass at R6 than insufficient-P. Nutrient partitioning patterns to plant tissues between P treatments were generally similar, except for insufficient-P plants allocating more nutrients to root tissues than sufficient-P plants. Partitioning patterns for B and Cu indicated that the high demand of maize reproductive structures for these nutrients may justify a foliar application of B and/or Cu at vegetative growth stages in some cases. The results of these studies suggests that there is great utility in further utilizing this silica-sand-based solution culture technique for more complex plant nutrient studies.

description: Spatial adiabatic passage processes for ultracold atoms trapped in tunnel-coupled cylindrically symmetric concentric potentials are investigated. Specifically, we discuss the matter-wave analogue of the rapid adiabatic passage (RAP) technique for a high fidelity and robust loading of a single atom into a harmonic ring potential from a harmonic trap, and for its transport between two concentric rings. We also consider a system of three concentric rings and investigate the transport of a single atom between the innermost and the outermost rings making use of the matter-wave analogue of the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) technique. We describe the RAP-like and STIRAP-like dynamics by means of a two- and a three-state models, respectively, obtaining good agreement with the numerical simulations of the corresponding two-dimensional Schrödinger equation.

 Basionym:: Vellozia asperula var. filifolia Smith (1962: 263). Type: — BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Catas Altas, Serra do Caraça, 18 January 1921 (fl.), Hoehne 5025 (holotype, NY [NY247998] image seen; isotype, SP!).
 Etymology: —Named after its very narrow, thread-leaved condition (Smith 1962).
 Distribution: — Vellozia filifolia is endemic to Serra do Caraça, southern Espinhaço Range in Minas Gerais State, Brazil.
 Habitat: — Vellozia filifolia inhabits rocky outcrops.
 Specimens examined: — BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Catas Altas, Serra do Caraça, 13 November 1975 (fr.), Menezes 523 (SPF); ibid. loc., 2 December 2000 (fl.), Mota 299 (BHCB, SPF); ibid. loc., 17 December 2000 (fl.), Ordones 669 (BHZB, SPF); ibid. loc., Padre Caio, 20 June 2013 (fr.), Ferreira Jr. 1128 (BHZB, SPF).
 Notes: — Vellozia asperula Martius (1823: 15) inhabits sandy soil in Diamantina Plateau, Minas Gerais, Brazil. It reaches up to 30 cm in height, but most of its stature is due to the leaves, as the stems are short, up to 10 cm long. On the other hand, V. asperula var. filifolia, which is endemic to Serra do Caraça, Minas Gerais, is a very distinct species. For mending this situation, a new status for V. asperula var. filifolia is here presented. Vellozia filifolia is a very distinct species of Velloziaceae as numerous individual stems grow together to form its final unique stem, and the plant probably survives as an epiphyte over itself, as is the case of many other species of Velloziaceae with long stems, in a rather unusual condition among plants. When the plant is old, it gains a shape that much resembles a Xanthorrhoea Smith (1798: 219, Xanthorrhoeaceae), a Dasylirion Zuccarini (1838: 258, Asparagaceae) or, better, a giant Bulbostylis paradoxa (Sprengel 1824: 190) Lindman (1900: 17, Cyperaceae). In describing it as a variety of V. asperula, Smith (1962) didn’t realized the very different nature of the stem of V. filifolia, as its type-material only bears two single individualized stems, being the flower similar to that of V. asperula, except for the hypanthium, which bears vertical lines of scabrous emergences, whereas V. asperula shows a entirely scabrous hypanthium.

Government Information--History
Freedom of information

description: What does the American public have the right to know about the federal government? The answer to this question has varied since the founding of the nation; both in the collection of information and information policy. This paper explores the evolution of government information policy and examines the effect each of the three branches of government--legislative, executive and judicial--has had on public access to government information. The collection and dissemination of government information created by each branch has changed greatly over the life of the nation, and each branch has regulated public access to information. The legislative branch has passed laws that provide access to some types of information and restrict access to others. The executive branch controls access through executive orders and the exercise of executive privilege. The judicial branch hears cases in which access issues are disputed and provides the third element in the balance of power. At times, the branches disagree. To illustrate what can happen when all three branches become involved in an information policy issue, the Watergate scandal of the 1970's is discussed as evidence that the balance of powers created by the founding fathers operates as it should.

description: Water activity and its relationship with interactions stabilising lamellar stacks of mixed lipid bilayers in their fluid state are investigated by means of osmotic pressure measurements coupled with small-angle x-ray scattering. The (electrically-neutral) bilayers are composed of a mixture in various proportions of lecithin, a zwitterionic phospholipid, and Simulsol, a non-ionic cosurfactant with an ethoxylated polar head. For highly dehydrated samples the osmotic pressure profile always exhibits the "classical" exponential decay as hydration increases but, depending on Simulsol to lecithin ratio, it becomes either of the "bound" or "unbound" types for more water-swollen systems. A simple thermodynamic model is used for interpreting the results without resorting to the celebrated but elusive "hydration forces"

description: Supernova remnants (SNRs) are one of the most energetic astrophysical events and are thought to be the dominant source of Galactic cosmic rays (CRs). A recent report on observations from the Fermi satellite has shown a signature of pion decay in the gamma-ray spectra of SNRs. This provides strong evidence that high-energy protons are accelerated in SNRs. The actual gamma-ray emission from pion decay should depend on the diffusion of CRs in the interstellar medium. In order to quantitatively analyse the diffusion of high-energy CRs from acceleration sites, we have performed test particle numerical simulations of CR protons using a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulation of an interstellar medium swept-up by a blast wave. We analyse the diffusion of CRs at a length scale of order a few pc in our simulated SNR, and find the diffusion of CRs is precisely described by a Bohm diffusion, which is required for efficient acceleration at least for particles with energies above 30 TeV for a realistic interstellar medium. Although we find the possibility of a superdiffusive process (travel distance proportional to t^0.75) in our simulations, its effect on CR diffusion at the length scale of the turbulence in the SNR is limited.

Although the collection dates are lacking, we can state that the specimens are a prior-to-1803 addition to the collection and original material for the name. In fact, Michaux made expeditions in North America during the period 1785–1786 (Stafleu & Cowan 1981: 456), and the collections of M. macrophylla in the Tennessee valley were made prior to Michaux`s publication, Flora Boreali-Americana in 1803. According to Arts. 9.2, and 9.3 of ICN, we here designate P-00734810 as the lectotype of Magnolia macrophylla.

description: An intense public debate has fuelled governmental bans on marine mammals held in zoological institutions. The debate rests on the assumption that survival in zoological institutions has been and remains lower than in the wild, albeit the scientific evidence in support of this notion is equivocal. Here, we used statistical methods previously applied to assess historical improvements in human lifespan and data on 8864 individuals of four marine mammal species (harbour seal, Phoca vitulina; California sea lion, Zalophus californianus; polar bear, Ursus maritimus; common bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus) held in zoos from 1829 to 2020. We found that life expectancy increased up to 3.40 times, and first-year mortality declined up to 31%, during the last century in zoos. Moreover, the life expectancy of animals in zoos is currently 1.65–3.55 times longer than their wild counterparts. Like humans, these improvements have occurred concurrently with advances in management practices, crucial for population welfare. Science-based decisions will help effective legislative changes and ensure better implementation of animal care.

description: Both physical arguments and simulations of the global heliosphere indicate that the tailward heliopause is flattened considerably in the direction perpendicular to both the incoming flow and the large-scale interstellar magnetic field. Despite this fact, all of the existing global analytical models of the outer heliosheath's magnetic field assume a circular cross section of the heliotail. To eliminate this inconsistency, we introduce a mathematical procedure by which any analytically or numerically given magnetic field can be deformed in such a way that the cross sections along the heliotail axis attain freely prescribed, spatially dependent values for their total area and aspect ratio. The distorting transformation of this method honors both the solenoidality condition and the stationary induction equation with respect to an accompanying flow field, provided that both constraints were already satisfied for the original magnetic and flow fields prior to the transformation. In order to obtain realistic values for the above parameters, we present the first quantitative analysis of the heliotail's overall distortion as seen in state-of-the-art three-dimensional hybrid MHD-kinetic simulations.

 Nomenclatural notes: ―Zuccarini described Magnolia dealbata with a short diagnosis and a long, detailed description; the habitat and provenance were also provided: “ Crescit in imperi mexicani sylvis prope Rincou loci declivibus temeratis 2 ― 3000 pedes (= 600– 900 m.) supra Oceanum elevatis. ― Floret Februario, maturat fructus eodem mense anni sequntis ”. There were also two illustrations (“ Tab. III ”, and “ Tab. IV Fig. 1 ”) that are part of the original material; a morphological comparison with M. macrophylla was also given. We found a specimen at M (barcode 0239898) that is part of Zuccarini’s collection and bears one complete leaf and some petals and pieces of fruits. The plant was collected in Mexico, Oaxaca Province by K. von Karwinski, but the date of the collections is lacking. Thus, it cannot be considered with certainty as part of the original material (see Art. 9.3 of ICN). No other specimens have been found. Fortunately, Zuccarini (1803) provided two illustrations, Tab. III (a flowering branch) and Tab. IV (many details of the flower). We designate here Tab. III as the lectotype of the name Magnolia dealbata; Tab. IV remains a syntype (image available at http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/11356529#page/409/mode/1up). Specimen M-0239898 is here designated as the epitype.

description: The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in quantifying the nutritional content of dried chili peppers and to further explore the potential of NIRS as an analytical tool. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid, non-destructive method with significant potential for plant nutrition analysis, aligning closely with the principles of green chemistry compared to conventional HPLC methods. However, the successful implementation of NIRS requires a substantial amount of experimental data to establish a comprehensive database of specific nutrients, which is currently lacking. This study employed two distinct methods for obtaining NIRS spectra of dried chili peppers, segmenting and powdering the samples to compare their vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids, total phenols, and ASTA values. Results indicated that only the ASTA values showed good linearity when calculated by the instrument software, with powdered samples yielding superior results. Additionally, predictions of Scoville Heat Units (SHU) using the laboratory reference library demonstrated a similar trend to ASTA values. Notably, the presence of an amide bond in the target molecule reduced interference from other functional groups, enhancing sensitivity. A comparison of absorption values and second derivative values related to amide bond vibrations revealed a moderate to strong negative correlation, suggesting that NIRS software is influenced by specific wavelengths. Overall, this research highlights the potential of NIRS for effectively predicting capsaicin levels in chili peppers.

description: Spirotaenia closteridia (Kützing) Rabenhorst 1868: 146 (Figs. 3–10).
 Basionym: Endospira closteridia Brébisson in Kützing 1847: 24, pl. 36: 2 (original diagnosis).
Cells 6–8.2 times longer than broad, curved cylinders slightly narrowing toward the rounded poles, chloroplast a parietal ribbon making 1.5–3.5 turns. Conjugation not observed. Cell dimensions: length 15–33 μm, breadth 2.5–4 μm.
 Specimens examined:— BRAZIL. Bahia: Santa Teresinha, Serra da Jiboia. 18-VII-2015. G.J.P. Ramos, C.W.N. Moura & D.D.S. Reis s.n (HUEFS 155347, HUEFS 155348).
 Habitat:— bromeliad tanks (Alcantarea nahoumii); water temperature 22–27º C. pH 5.2–6.1. electric conductivity 0.09–0.12 mS. cm-1. total dissolved solids 0.05–0.06 ppt. dissolved oxygen 6.9–9.4 mg.L- 1.
 Comments:— Morphologically, Spirotaenia closteridia resembles S. endospira W.Archer (Figs. 11–18), though the latter species is different by having wider oblong-cylindrical cells. Sometimes it is difficult to separate these species, especially when S. closteridia cells do not show a very remarkable curvature and have a chloroplast with 1.5–2.5 turns, thus requiring a population analysis to check other features such as poles and cell dimensions.
 So far, records of Spirotaenia closteridia were confined to the Northern Hemisphere: Austria (Lenzenweger 2003), France (Kouwets 1999), Ukraine (Palamar-Mordvintseva & Petlovany 2009) and United States of America (Prescott et al. 1972). This is the first time that the species is reported for the Southern Hemisphere and for a phytotelm habitat.

description: We show that an infinite residually finite boundedly generated group has an infinite chain of finite index subgroups with ranks uniformly bounded, and give (sublinear) upper bounds on the ranks of arbitrary finite index subgroups of boundedly generated groups (examples which come close to achieving these bounds are presented). This proves a strong form of a conjecture of Abert, Jaikin-Zapirain, and Nikolov which asserts that the rank gradient of infinite boundedly generated residually finite groups is $0$. Furthermore, our first result establishes a variant of a conjecture of Lubotzky on the ranks of finite index subgroups of special linear groups over the integers, and is analogous to a result of Pyber and Segal for solvable groups.

Cells 2.3–4 times longer than broad, straight or very slightly curved, oblong-cylindrical with broadly rounded poles, chloroplast a parietal ribbon making 1–2.5 turns. Conjugation not observed. Cell dimensions: length 7–18 μm, breadth 3–4.5 μm.
 Specimens examined:— BRAZIL. Bahia: Santa Teresinha, Serra da Jiboia. 18-VII-2015. G.J.P. Ramos, C.W.N. Moura & D.D.S. Reis s.n (HUEFS 155347, HUEFS 155348).

 Comments:— Fuciková et al. (2008) found specimens of Spirotaenia endospira inhabiting wet walls in Cataloochee Valley, North Carolina (USA) in acidic conditions (pH 4.7). However, some morphological features described by those authors, such as fusiform cells gradually tapering towards the apices, as well as their illustration (fig. 23, p. 55) rather resemble Spirotaenia parvula W. Archer (1862: 254).
 So far, records of Spirotaenia endospira were only known from Europe, North America, and Asia (Guiry & Guiry 2017). Prescott et al. (1972) mention the occurrence of this species in South America, but do not provide detailed information where the species was reported. Thus, we consider the present record as the first confirmed occurrence of S. endospira for South America and the Southern Hemisphere. In the material examined asexual reproduction by transverse cell division was commonly observed (Fig. 18).

description: We study high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations of Milky Way type galaxies obtained within the "Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments" (EAGLE) project, and identify the those that best satisfy observational constraints on the Milky Way total stellar mass, rotation curve, and galaxy shape. Contrary to mock galaxies selected on the basis of their total virial mass, the Milky Way analogues so identified consistently exhibit very similar dark matter profiles inside the solar circle, therefore enabling more accurate predictions for indirect dark matter searches. We find in particular that high resolution simulated haloes satisfying observational constraints exhibit, within the inner few kiloparsecs, dark matter profiles shallower than those required to explain the so-called Fermi GeV excess via dark matter annihilation.

description: Quad-rotor helicopters are agile aircraft which are lifted and propelled by four rotors. Unlike traditional helicopters, they do not require a tail-rotor to control yaw, but can use four smaller fixed-pitch rotors. However, without an intelligent control system it is very difficult for a human to successfully fly and manoeuvre such a vehicle. Thus, most of recent research has focused on small unmanned aerial vehicles, such that advanced embedded control systems could be developed to control these aircrafts. Vehicles of this nature are very useful when it comes to situations that require unmanned operations, for instance performing tasks in dangerous and/or inaccessible environments that could put human lives at risk. This research demonstrates a consistent way of developing a robust adaptive controller for quad-rotor helicopters, using fuzzy-neural networks; creating an intelligent system that is able to monitor and control the non-linear multi-variable flying states of the quad-rotor, enabling it to adapt to the changing environmental situations and learn from past missions. Firstly, an analytical dynamic model of the quad-rotor helicopter was developed and simulated using Matlab/Simulink software, where the behaviour of the quad-rotor helicopter was assessed due to voltage excitation. Secondly, a 3-D model with the same parameter values as that of the analytical dynamic model was developed using Solidworks software. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was then used to simulate and analyse the effects of the external disturbance on the control and performance of the quad-rotor helicopter. Verification and validation of the two models were carried out by comparing the simulation results with real flight experiment results. The need for more reliable and accurate simulation data led to the development of a neural network error compensation system, which was embedded in the simulation system to correct the minor discrepancies found between the simulation and experiment results. Data obtained from the simulations were then used to train a fuzzy-neural system, made up of a hierarchy of controllers to control the attitude and position of the quad-rotor helicopter. The success of the project was measured against the quad-rotor’s ability to adapt to wind speeds of different magnitudes and directions by re-arranging the speeds of the rotors to compensate for any disturbance. From the simulation results, the fuzzy-neural controller is sufficient to achieve attitude and position control of the quad-rotor helicopter in different weather conditions, paving way for future real time applications.
