Cephennium vitsiense

description: Cephennium vitsiense nov.sp. (Figs 6, 24-25)
Type material: Holotype ♂: " GR. [1] Flórina, 20 km SSW Flórina, Oros Vitsi, N-slope, 1850-1900 m, 40°38'32N, 21°22'46E, 22.V.2005 V. Assing / Holotypus ♂ Cephennium vitsiense sp. n. det. V. Assing 2020" (cAss).
Etymology: The specific epithet is an adjective derived from Vitsi, the name of the mountain where the type locality is situated.
Description: Body length 1.25 mm; antenna 0.55 mm long. Habitus (Fig. 6) moderately slender. Body reddish.
Eyes composed of approximately ten ommatidia. Antenna with antennomeres V approximately as long as broad, VII weakly transverse, IX and X barely 1.5 times as broad as long, and XI less than twice as long as broad.
Pronotum relatively weakly transverse, 1.12 times as broad as long, moderately convex in cross-section. Punctation rather sparse and very fine, approximately as fine as that of elytra.
Elytra broader than pronotum; humeral carinae weakly pronounced, nearly as long as the combined length of the basal four antennomeres; anterior impressions transverse and with tomentose pubescence.
♂: protibia apically distinctly bent and excavate; aedeagus (Figs 24-25) 0.30 mm long; median lobe apically very acute in ventral view; internal sac with a pair of large clawshaped structures; parameres thin, straight, not reaching apex of median lobe, and with rather long apical seta.
Comparative notes: Based on the similar shape of the aedeagus and the similar shapes and arrangement of its internal structures, C. vitsiense is closely allied to C. angelinii. It is distinguished from this species by the apically much more acute median lobe, distinctly claw-shaped internal structures, and the modifications of the male protibiae.
Distribution and natural history: The type locality is situated in Oros Vitsi, a mountain rich in endemics to the south-southwest of Flórina, Northwest Greece. The holotype was sifted from grass and moss in the alpine zone of the peak region at an altitude of 1850-1900 m.
Comment: The holotypes of this and the following species were returned by Miroslav Stevanović to the second author with paratype labels reading " Paratypus Cephennium (s.str.) acuminatum m., det. M. Stevanović 2013". This species, however, was never described.

Soil water regimes on a forested watershed
Creators: name: Giles, Donald George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The quantitative evaluation of summer water stress over a range of sites on a forested watershed was accomplished by determining the soil water deficits occurring during the growing season. The relationship of soil water deficit to forest productivity was studied using site index, total stemwood volume and annual incremental stemwood volume per unit area to quantify forest productivity at each site. Two procedures were used for evaluating growing season soil water deficits. In the first procedure, deficits were calculated at each site during the growing seasons of 1980 and 1981 by summation of the weekly shortfalls of the actual transpiration rate (limited by available soil water storage) below the maximum transpiration rate (limited by net radiation). This required the determination of coefficients in the relationships of transpiration rate to available soil water storage, to net radiation, and to the evaporation rate of intercepted rainfall. These coefficients were calculated by weekly water balancing of evapotranspiration against measured precipitation plus measured soil water withdrawal from storage during periods when drainage, run-off and capillary rise were negligible. The second procedure for calculating growing season soil water deficits was by monthly water budgeting over the growing season of each year from 1964- to 1981, for which years the required climatological data was available. Maximum evapotranspiration calculated from the average daily net radiation was balanced against available soil water storage plus precipitation on a monthly basis, with carry over of unused soil water storage to the next month. Growing season soil water deficit variations between sites for 1980 and 1981 were found to be well correlated with forest productivity as quantified by site index and by total stemwood volume. Relative differences in soil water deficits between sites for the years 1980 and 1981 were thus concluded to be representative of the average relative site to site differences over the life of the stand. These conclusions were confirmed by comparing the average growing season soil water deficits over the years 1964 to 1981 with the average annual incremental stemwood occurring at a site over this period as determined by tree ring width measurements. Yearly incremental stemwood volume for 1964-81 was also found to be well correlated with growing season soil water deficit, although less variation of growth with deficit was apparent between years at a given site, than when comparing variation of growth with deficit between sites.

description: Pokles významu státu podnítil v mezinárodních vztazích debatu o roli sítí profesionálů. Relevantními aktéry mezinárodní politiky se staly i epistemické komunity. Text zpřesňuje podmínky, za jakých se zapojují do politických jednání o vymýcení chudoby v rámci Agendy 2030. Využívá k tomu sociálně konstruktivistický koncept epistemické komunity, který vysvětluje vztah mezi její odbornou soudržností a zapojením do politických jednání. Epistemické komunity se do jednání o vymýcení chudoby zapojily, odborná literatura jejich aktivitu však doposud nezachytila. Rozbor potvrdil souvislost mezi slabou vnitřní odbornou soudržností sítě sdružující epistemickou komunitu a její slabou schopností šířit přesvědčení při politických jednáních. Analýza odhalila také spojitost mezi vyšší politickou podporou a vyšší mírou zohlednění přesvědčení vládních sítí sdružujících epistemické komunity v politických jednáních, které vznikly na základě rezolucí VS OSN a ECOSOC.

description: The effect of a random phase screen on laser beam wander in a turbulent atmosphere is studied theoretically. The method of photon distribution function is used to describe the photon kinetics of both weak and strong turbulence. By bringing together analytical and numerical calculations, we have obtained the variance of beam centroid deflections caused by scattering on turbulent eddies. It is shown that an artificial distortion of the initial coherence of the radiation can be used to decrease the wandering effect. The physical mechanism responsible for this reduction and applicability of our approach are discussed.

description: We construct several new classes of black hole (BH) solutions in the context of the mimetic Euler-Heisenberg theory. We separately derive three differently charged BH solutions and their relevant mimetic forms. We show that the asymptotic form of all BH solutions behaves like a flat spacetime. These BHs, either with/without cosmological constant, have the non constant Ricci scalar, due to the contribution of the Euler-Heisenberg parameter, which means that they are not solution to standard or mimetic $f(R)$ gravitational theory without the Euler-Heisenberg non-linear electrodynamics and at the same time they are not equivalent to the solutions of the Einstein gravity with a massless scalar field. Moreover, we display that the effect of the Euler-Heisenberg theory makes the singularity of BH solutions stronger compared with that of BH solutions in general relativity. Furthermore, we show that the null and strong energy conditions of those BH solutions are violated, which is a general trend of mimetic gravitational theory. The thermodynamics of the BH solutions are satisfactory although there appears a negative Hawking temperature under some conditions. Additionally, these BHs obey the first law of thermodynamics. We also study the stability, using the geodesic deviation, and derive the stability condition analytically and graphically. Finally, for the first time and under some conditions, we derived multi-horizon BH solutions in the context of the mimetic Euler-Heisenberg theory and study their related physics.

description: The DELPHI detector at LEP has been used to measure multi-muon bundles originating from cosmic ray interactions with air. The cosmic events were recorded in ``parasitic mode'' between individual e+e- interactions and the total live time of this data taking is equivalent to 1.6x10^6 seconds. The DELPHI apparatus is located about 100 metres underground and the 84 metres rock overburden imposes a cut-off of about 52 GeV/c on muon momenta. The data from the large volume Hadron Calorimeter allowed the muon multiplicity of 54201 events to be reconstructed. The resulting muon multiplicity distribution is compared with the prediction of the Monte Carlo simulation based on CORSIKA/QGSJET01. The model fails to describe the abundance of high multiplicity events. The impact of QGSJET internal parameters on the results is also studied.

description: We consider the change in electron localization due to the presence of electron-electron repulsion in the \HA model. Taking into account local Mott-Hubbard physics and static screening of the disorder potential, the system is mapped onto an effective single-particle Anderson model, which is studied within the self-consistent theory of electron localization. We find rich nonmonotonic behavior of the localization length $ξ$ in two-dimensional systems, including an interaction-induced exponential enhancement of $ξ$ for small and intermediate disorders although $ξ$ remains finite. In three dimensions we identify for half filling a Mott-Hubbard-assisted Anderson localized phase existing between the metallic and the Mott-Hubbard-gapped phases. For small $U$ there is re-entrant behavior from the Anderson localized phase to the metallic phase.

description: In the training of future teachers of fine arts, it is of great importance to thoroughly study the theoretical foundations of drawing, along with the practical aspects of drawing. Therefore, drawing classes are conducted on the basis of a number of specific subjects. The main ones are perspective and plastic anatomy. Without them, it is difficult for a student to perform even the simplest task correctly. Without knowing the laws of perspective, he cannot accurately determine the spatial position of an object, or without having clear knowledge of human plastic anatomy, he cannot draw a human figure or portrait. A student who does not understand the laws of light and shadow will not be able to accurately describe the color, volume, and material properties of the depicted object. The art of depicting objects, like other specific sciences, requires a deep analysis of the object being drawn and creating it figuratively, not through words, but through various means of depiction.

Etymology: The specific epithet is an adjective derived from the Latin noun sagitta (arrow) and alludes to the shape of the apical internal structure of the aedeagus, which somewhat resembles an arrow head.
Description: Body length 1.0- 1.1 mm. Eyes composed of approximately five ommatidia without, or with weak, pigmentation. Other external characters as in C. aciferum.
♂: protibia unmodified; metaventrite with extensive median impression; aedeagus (Fig. 44) 0.33-0.35 mm long; ventral process apically truncate; internal sac with apico-median structure shaped like an arrow head; paramere thin, apically not reaching apex of median lobe and with short apical seta.
Comparative notes: Among the species of the C. jonicum group, C. sagittatum is characterized particularly by the shapes of the internal structures of the aedeagus. Regarding the size of the aedeagus, this species is most similar to C. aciferum, from which is distinguished above all by an apically much less acute apico-median internal structure.

description: 6b. Euphorbia otjipembana subsp. fluvialis (L.C.Leach) Bruyns, comb. nov.
Euphorbia subsalsa subsp. fluvialis Leach (1976: 29). Type:— ANGOLA. Kunene: Ruacana Falls, 28 September 1970, Leach & Cannell 14509 (holotype LISC, isotypes BM!, K!, LUAI, M!, MO, PRE!, SRGH).
Discussion: — Leach (1976) did not state why subsp. fluvialis was placed under E. subsalsa.
From E. subsalsa (see below) it is separated by its more robust habit, with plants branching from the base and freely above the base, 4-angled branches that are erect, uniformly greyish green (unstriped) and 15–30 mm thick, the spines are 7–15 mm long, with the stipular prickles 1.5–6 mm long. The quite robust spine-shields are parallel-sided below the spines with a rounded base and initially they have a slight gap (± 1 mm long) above the next axillary bud, but they later may fuse to form a ± continuous margin along the angles. The cyathial glands are erect, concave above and are suffused with pink, while the female floret is raised on a short pedicel around 0.5 mm long. Most of these features of subsp. fluvialis differ from those in subsp. subsalsa and are more closely matched in E. kaokoensis and E. otjipembana. With E. otjipembana, it shares the thicker branches, longer and more robust spine-shields, the erect concave cyathial glands and the raised female floret. Consequently, it is now placed as a subspecies of E. otjipembana.

description: The subject of analysis is a non-linear three-compartment model, widely used in pharmacological absorption studies. It has been transformed into a general form, thus leading automatically to an appropriate approximation. This made the absorption profile accessible and expressions for absorption times, apparent permeabilities and equilibrium values were given. These findings allowed a profound analysis of results from non-linear curve fits and delivered the dependencies on the systems' parameters over a wide range of values. The results were applied to an absorption experiment with multidrug transporter-affected antibiotic CNV97100 on Caco-2 cell monolayers.

description: The innermost regions of accretion disks around black holes are strongly irradiated by X-rays that are emitted from a highly variable, compact corona, in the immediate vicinity of the black hole. The X-rays that are seen reflected from the disk and the time delays, as variations in the X-ray emission echo or reverberate off the disk provide a view of the environment just outside the event horizon. I Zwicky 1 (I Zw 1), is a nearby narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxy. Previous studies of the reverberation of X-rays from its accretion disk revealed that the corona is composed of two components; an extended, slowly varying component over the surface of the inner accretion disk, and a collimated core, with luminosity fluctuations propagating upwards from its base, which dominates the more rapid variability. Here we report observations of X-ray flares emitted from around the supermassive black hole in I Zw 1. X-ray reflection from the accretion disk is detected through a relativistically broadened iron K line and Compton hump in the X-ray emission spectrum. Analysis of the X-ray flares reveals short flashes of photons consistent with the re-emergence of emission from behind the black hole. The energy shifts of these photons identify their origins from different parts of the disk. These are photons that reverberate off the far side of the disk and bent around the black hole and magnified by the strong gravitational field. Observing photons bent around the black hole confirms a key prediction of General Relativity.

? Cephennium jonicum obscurum BESUCHET i.l.
Type material: Holotype ♂: " GR. Levkas, 100 m, Felswand b. Apolpena, Streugesiebe Nr. 15, 29.IX.1993, Assing leg. / Holotypus ♂ Cephennium linguatum sp. n. det. V. Assing 2020" (cAss).
Etymology: The specific epithet is an adjective derived from the Latin noun lingua (tongue) and alludes to the tongue-shaped apico-median internal structure of the aedeagus.
Comment: Besuchet (unpubl. notes) examined 10♂♂ and 7♀♀ labelled "Kyparissia, Gr., F. Schubert" (coll. Schubert; now in NHMW). The illustrations of the internal structures of the aedeagus suggest that this material (working name: Cephennium jonicum obscurum i.l.) may be conspecific with the holotype. There are, however, numerous populated places named Kyparissia (or similar) in Greece, so that it is unclear what region this material originated from.
Description: Body length 1.1 mm. Body reddish-brown. Eyes composed of approximately five ommatidia without pigmentation. Other external characters as in C. aciferum.
♂: protibia unmodified; metaventrite with extensive median impression; aedeagus Figs 45, 48) 0.38 mm long; ventral process apically truncate, in the middle with a small projection; internal sac with tongue-shaped apico-median structure; paramere thin, apically reaching apex of median lobe and with short apical seta.
Comparative notes: This species is distinguished from other representatives of the C. jonicum group by a larger aedeagus with differently shaped internal structures.
Distribution and natural history: The type locality is situated near Apolpena in the Ionian island Levkas. The holotype was washed from deep soil beneath bushes near a rock wall.

description: Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are amongst the most intriguing of X-ray source classes. Their extreme luminosities - greater than 10^39 erg/s in the 0.3 - 10 keV band alone - suggest either the presence of black holes larger than those regularly encountered in our own Galaxy (the Galactic centre excepted), or sources apparently radiating well above the Eddington limit. We review the insights afforded us by studies of their X-ray emission, focussing on what this reveals about the underlying compact object. In particular, we discuss recent deep observations of ULXs by the XMM-Newton observatory, and how the unprecedented data quality provided by this mission is starting to discriminate between the different physical models for these extraordinary X-ray emitters.

description: Students of color have a history of experiencing microaggressions and other forms of barriers that may prevent them from developing an achieved ethnic identity. This qualitative study used an Interpretative Phenomenology Analysis (IPA) to explore how studying abroad in a parent’s home country of Mexico aided in the ethnic identity development of Latin* students. A total of 12 students attended a week-long study abroad program in Guadalajara, Mexico, where they participated in activities such as visiting migrant shelters and learning more about the history of Mexico. After the trip, students participated in one-on-one semi-structured interviews to explore the process students went through to develop a clearer sense of ethnic identity. Phinney’s Ethnic Identity Formation model was used to analyze changes in students’ stages in ethnic identity during their study abroad experience. Several themes arose, which detailed how participants were able to move from the Unexamined Ethnic Identity stage, to the Ethnic Identity Search stage, and some to the final stage of Ethnic Identity Achievement. This trip challenged student’s negative views of their ethnicity by providing them an opportunity to examine these views and learn more about their own identity. Findings from this study support how investing in curricula that reflects students’ lived experiences can help Latin* students combat the influence that negative stereotypes has on their overall wellbeing.

description: We examine very general four-point interactions arising from new physics and contributing to the Higgs production process e+e- -> HZ. We write all possible forms for these interactions consistent with Lorentz invariance. We allow the possibility of CP violation. Contributions to the process from anomalous ZZH and gamma ZH interactions studied earlier arise as a special case of our four-point amplitude. We consider the decay of Z into a charged lepton pair and obtain expressions for angular distributions of charged leptons arising from the interference of the four-point contribution with the standard-model contribution. We take into account possible longitudinal or transverse beam polarization likely to be available at a linear collider. We examine several correlations which can be used to study the various form factors present in the e+e-HZ contact interactions. We also obtain the sensitivity of these correlations in constraining the new-physics interactions at a linear collider operating at a centre-of-mass energy of 500 GeV with longitudinal or transverse polarization.

description: We derive a Kondo Lattice model with a correlated conduction band from a two-band Hubbard Hamiltonian. This mapping allows us to describe the emergence of a robust pairing mechanism in a model that only contains repulsive interactions. The mechanism is due to topological confinement and results from the interplay between antiferromagnetism and delocalization. By using Density-Matrix-Renormalization-Group (DMRG), we demonstrate that this mechanism leads to dominant superconducting correlations in a 1D-system.

Phase diagram of the asymmetric Hubbard model
Creators: name: Farkasovsky, Pavol
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The ground-state phase diagram of the asymmetric Hubbard model is studied in one and two dimensions by a well-controlled numerical method. The method allows to calculate directly the probabilities of particular phases in the approximate ground-state and thus to specify the stability domains corresponding to phases with the highest probabilities. Depending on the electron filling $n$ and the magnitude of the asymmetry $t_f/t_d$ between the hopping integrals of $f$ and $d$ electrons two different scenarios in formation of ground states are observed. At low electron fillings ($n\leq 1/3$) the ground states are always phase segregated in the limit of strong asymmetry ($t_d\gg t_f$). With decreasing asymmetry the system undergoes a transition to the phase separated state and then to the homogeneous state. For electron fillings $n>1/3 $ and weak Coulomb interactions the ground state is homogeneous for all values of asymmetry, while for intermediate and strong interactions the system exhibits the same sequence of phase transitions as for $n$ small. Moreover, it is shown that the segregated phase is significantly stabilized with increasing electron filling, while the separated phases disappear gradually from the ground-state phase diagrams.
