Egmundella fasciculata Fraser, 1940a: 577, pl. 32, figs. 4a, b.
Syntypes. USNM 43436: USA, North Atlantic Ocean off Martha’s Vineyard, R / V Fish Hawk Sta. 949, 40°03’N, 70°31’W, 23 August 1881, rake dredge, 183 m, several colonies or colony fragments, without gonophores, labelled “ type ”; ethanol.
Lectotype, by present designation. USNM 43436: USA, North Atlantic Ocean off Martha’s Vineyard, R / V Fish Hawk Sta. 949, 40°03’N, 70°31’W, 23 August 1881, rake dredge, 183 m, one colony, 2.5 cm high, in fairly good condition, without gonophores, labelled “ type ”; ethanol.
Paralectotypes. USNM 1458911: USA, North Atlantic Ocean off Martha’s Vineyard, R / V Fish Hawk Sta. 949, 40°03’N, 70°31’W, 23 August 1881, rake dredge, 183 m, several colonies or colony fragments, up to 2.0 cm high, in from good to poor condition, without gonophores; ethanol.
BCPM 976-00289-001: USA, south of Martha's Vineyard, 40°03'N, 70°31'W, 23 August 1881, 183 m, several colony fragments, in poor condition, without gonophores, labelled “co-type”; 60% IPA.
Type locality. USA, Massachusetts: edge of continental shelf south of Martha’s Vineyard, 40°03’N, 70°31’W, 183 m (Fraser 1940a).
Current status. Valid.
Remarks. Fraser’s (1940a) “ type ” of Egmundella fasciculata is currently listed as a holotype in the online database of the NMNH (USNM 43436). However, several colonies or colony fragments were present in the collection. The best of these specimens has been designated as the lectotype (USNM 43436). All others in the series are paralectotypes (USNM 1458911). Also present in this collection, together with the paralectotypes, are specimens of a species of campanularioid. Other material from the same collection, held in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00289-001), is labelled a “co-type” of E. fasciculata. Now in poor condition, it likewise constitutes a paralectotype.
Egmundella fasciculata is listed as valid by Cairns et al. (2002) and WoRMS. The species is known only from the original description, and only from its trophosome.

description: In metals containing magnetic impurities, conduction electrons screen the magnetic impurities and induce the Kondo effect, i.e., the enhancement of the electrical resistance at low temperatures. Motivated by recent advances in manipulating quantum materials by cavity confinement, we study how the ultrastrong light-matter coupling can affect the Kondo effect. We show that the ultrastrong coupling can enhance the Kondo temperature and give rise to several notable phenomena, including universal scalings of the cavity-modified Kondo effect, the photon occupation number, and the entanglement entropy between the cavity and electrons. The origin of the cavity enhancement can be understood from the mass renormalization due to the cavity-mediated nonlocal electron-electron interaction, which is akin to the polaronic mass enhancement. We combine the unitary transformations and the Gaussian variational states to analyze the quantum impurity system confined in the cavity. Our nonperturbative framework can be applied to a variety of quantum impurity problems influenced by structured quantum electromagnetic environment.

Egmundella grandis Fraser, 1941b: 82, pl. 16, figs. 8a, b.
Syntypes. USNM 43455: USA, Virginia, Chesapeake Bay, off mouth, R/ V Fish Hawk Sta. 897, 37°25’N, 74°18’W, 16 November 1880, 288 m, trawl, several small colonies or colony fragments, labelled “ type ”; ethanol + four slides.
Lectotype, by present designation. USNM 43455: USA, Virginia, Chesapeake Bay, off mouth, R/ V Fish Hawk Sta. 897, 37°25’N, 74°18’W, 16 November 1880, 288 m, trawl, one sparse colony or colony fragment on a bivalve shell, in mediocre condition, without gonophores, labelled “ type ”; ethanol.
Paralectotypes. USNM 1458863: USA, Virginia, Chesapeake Bay, off mouth, R/ V Fish Hawk Sta. 897, 37°25’N, 74°18’W, 16 November 1880, 288 m, trawl, several tiny colony fragments, in mediocre condition, without gonophores; ethanol + four slides.
Type locality. USA, Virginia: slope waters east of Chesapeake Bay, 37°25’N, 74°18’W (north of Washington Canyon), 157.5 fm (288 m) (Fraser 1941b).
Current status. Valid.
Remarks. Material designated as the “ type ” of Egmundella grandis by Fraser (1941b) is at the NMNH (USNM 43455). That collection comprised syntypes, with material in ethanol and on four slides. The best of these specimens, growing on a bivalve shell and returned to the original vial (USNM 43455), is designated here as the lectotype. All others in the type series are paralectotypes (USNM 1458863). The four slides forming part of this series are relatively recent preparations and were not made by Fraser.
While the location of this collection was given by Fraser (1941b) as the state of Maryland, coordinates reveal instead that the specimens were from the continental slope off the eastern shore of Virginia.
On the basis of morphology, biogeography, and habitat, a report of E. grandis from shallow waters of Belize (Spracklin 1982), in the Caribbean Sea, is considered by us to be a misidentification. No other records exist of this obscure and briefly described species, known only from its trophosome. Regarded as valid here, it is not listed in WoRMS. The species was excluded from the lists of Cairns et al. (1991, 2002) earlier because its depth (288 m) was below the 200 m bathymetric limit set in those two works.

title: Die südbrasilianischen Seperatismusbestrebungen
Creators: name: Forster, Nicolas
Year: 2012

description: Vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Separatismusbestrebungen in Südbrasilien, einem Thema, das in Europa weitgehend unbekannt ist und auch in Brasilien nur in der regionalen Presse Beachtung findet. Im Süden des Landes finden sich Industrie und Dienstleistung, Kraftwerke und Bodenschätze. Durch den hohen wirtschaftlichen Standard erwirtschaftet der Süden einen großen Anteil der Steuereinnahmen Brasiliens, von denen der arme Norden durch Transferzahlungen profitiert. Dieses ökonomische Gefälle zwischen Nord(ost) und Süd(ost) wird von den Separatisten immer wieder als der Hauptpunkt für die Trennungsabsicht genannt, wenngleich auch andere Argumente, wie kulturelle Eigenheiten, ins Treffen geführt werden. Einer der aktuellen Akteure ist Irton Marx. Für ihn geht es darum, mit den Bundestaaten Paraná, Santa Catarina und Rio Grande do Sul die „República Pampa Gaúcho“ zu errichten und sich von Brasilien loszulösen. Die Arbeit geht unter Zugrundelegung vor allem der Einwanderungsgeschichte Brasiliens auch auf historische Separatismusbestrebungen im Land ein und beschreibt ausgewählte Sezessionsbemühungen in anderen Ländern, um Unterschiede und Parallelen zu denen in Brasilien zu untersuchen. Abschliessend werden die Chancen für eine Sezession der betreffenden Gebiete unter Einbeziehung der zunehmenden Globalisierung und der aktuellen Entwicklung des Landes beurteilt.
description: This paper deals with the separatist movements in southern Brazil, a topic widely unknown in Europe and merely covered by the regional press in Brazil as well. The south of the country is home to industry and services, power plants and natural resources. Thanks to its high economic standard, southern Brazil generates a great part of the country’s tax revenue, which the poor north benefits from by means of transfer payments. The resulting economic gap between the north (east) and the south (east) is repeatedly referred to as the main argument for separation by the separatists, although other arguments, such as cultural differences, are put forward as well. One of the current protagonists in this development is Irton Marx. His vision is to establish an independent “República Pampa Gaúcho” by separating the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul from the rest of Brazil. On the basis of the history of immigration in Brazil, the paper also focuses on the historical developments related to separatist movements in the country and illustrates selected secession efforts in other countries in order to investigate differences and parallels between the situation in those countries and in Brazil. Finally, the chances for a secession of the regions in question are evaluated, taking into account the growing progress of globalisation and the current developments inside the country.

description: We test the performance of the Polarizable Embedding Variational Quantum Eigensolver Self-Consistent-Field (PE-VQE-SCF) model for computing electric field gradients with comparisons to conventional complete active space self-consistent-field (CASSCF) calculations and experimental results. We compute quadrupole coupling constants for ice VIII and ice IX. We find that the inclusion of the environment is crucial for obtaining results that match the experimental data. The calculations for ice VIII are within the experimental uncertainty for both CASSCF and VQE-SCF for oxygen and lie close to the experimental value for ice IX as well. With the VQE-SCF, which is based on an Adaptive Derivative-Assembled Problem-Tailored (ADAPT) ansatz, we find that the inclusion of the environment and the size of the different basis sets do not directly affect the gate counts. However, by including an explicit environment, the wavefunction and, therefore, the optimization problem becomes more complicated, which usually results in the need to include more operators from the operator pool, thereby increasing the depth of the circuit.

description: Genus Eucuspidella Fraser, 1944a
Eucuspidella Fraser, 1944a: 172.
Type species. Cuspidella pedunculata Αllman, 1877, by monotypy.
Current status. Valid.
Remarks. Fraser (1944a) concluded that Cuspidella pedunculata Allman, 1877 exceeded the bounds of the genus Cuspidella Hincks, 1866 in having a pedicellate rather than a sessile hydrotheca. He therefore established Eucuspidella for the species. Other characters distinguishing the genus were a tubular or fusiform hydrotheca that merged imperceptibly with the pedicel, opercular valves with no demarcation from the hydrothecal wall, and the absence of a diaphragm and nematophores. Gonophores of E. pedunculata, a minute species reported from bathyal waters (475 m) off the Dry Tortugas, Florida (Allman 1877), and with some uncertainty from 4798 m in the Windward Passage north of Haiti (Vervoort 1972), remain unknown.
Eucuspidella has been provisionally upheld as valid in some works (Vervoort 1972; Calder 1996; Bouillon et al. 2006). In others, it has been assigned to the synonymy of Campanulina Van Beneden, 1847 and to the family Campanulinidae Hincks, 1868 (e.g., WoRMS). That assignment is untenable given that Campanulina tenuis Van Beneden, 1847, a widely misconceived hydrozoan having decidedly different morphological characters (see Rees 1939: 435–437; Calder 1991:5, 6), is the type species of that genus. Meanwhile, the family Campanulinidae Hincks, 1868, as originally defined, is based on a misidentified type genus (Campanulina sensu Allman, 1864, not Campanulina Van Beneden, 1847). Widespread taxonomic confusion thus persists at present over the concepts of both Campanulina and Campanulinidae. As for its phylogenetic affinities, Eucuspidella cannot be assigned at present with confidence to any known family.

description: The next Point of Interest (POI) recommendation task is to predict users' immediate next POI visit given their historical data. Location-Based Social Network (LBSN) data, which is often used for the next POI recommendation task, comes with challenges. One frequently disregarded challenge is how to effectively use the abundant contextual information present in LBSN data. Previous methods are limited by their numerical nature and fail to address this challenge. In this paper, we propose a framework that uses pretrained Large Language Models (LLMs) to tackle this challenge. Our framework allows us to preserve heterogeneous LBSN data in its original format, hence avoiding the loss of contextual information. Furthermore, our framework is capable of comprehending the inherent meaning of contextual information due to the inclusion of commonsense knowledge. In experiments, we test our framework on three real-world LBSN datasets. Our results show that the proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art models in all three datasets. Our analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed framework in using contextual information as well as alleviating the commonly encountered cold-start and short trajectory problems.

description: We examine the role that the telecommunications sector plays in the Canadian Economy. This examination is predominantly based on an analysis of data from Canada’s system of National Accounts. Through examination of upstream and downstream value flows we itemize direct contributions of telecom in the form of upstream production generated by the sector, value added generated by the sector as well as downstream production. We also assess recent trends in telecom service levels, prices and the resulting labour income and investment behavior in the sector. Our assessment also includes projections of the relationship between telecom capital stock and overall Canadian GDP and GNP. We close with a discussion of the policy implications of the current regime of wholesale price regulation in the telecom sector and how this relates to investment incentives and by extension the overall health of the Canadian economy.

Spectral-Spatial Mamba for Hyperspectral Image Classification

description: Recently, deep learning models have achieved excellent performance in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. Among the many deep models, Transformer has gradually attracted interest for its excellence in modeling the long-range dependencies of spatial-spectral features in HSI. However, Transformer has the problem of quadratic computational complexity due to the self-attention mechanism, which is heavier than other models and thus has limited adoption in HSI processing. Fortunately, the recently emerging state space model-based Mamba shows great computational efficiency while achieving the modeling power of Transformers. Therefore, in this paper, we make a preliminary attempt to apply the Mamba to HSI classification, leading to the proposed spectral-spatial Mamba (SS-Mamba). Specifically, the proposed SS-Mamba mainly consists of spectral-spatial token generation module and several stacked spectral-spatial Mamba blocks. Firstly, the token generation module converts any given HSI cube to spatial and spectral tokens as sequences. And then these tokens are sent to stacked spectral-spatial mamba blocks (SS-MB). Each SS-MB block consists of two basic mamba blocks and a spectral-spatial feature enhancement module. The spatial and spectral tokens are processed separately by the two basic mamba blocks, respectively. Besides, the feature enhancement module modulates spatial and spectral tokens using HSI sample's center region information. In this way, the spectral and spatial tokens cooperate with each other and achieve information fusion within each block. The experimental results conducted on widely used HSI datasets reveal that the proposed model achieves competitive results compared with the state-of-the-art methods. The Mamba-based method opens a new window for HSI classification.

description: Objective This study aims to examine the relationship between antenatal magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and neonatal death and/or severe necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) among infants < 28 weeks. Methods Secondary analysis of a multicenter randomized trial of antenatal MgSO4 versus placebo administered to women to prevent death and cerebral palsy. Neonates < 28 weeks were included. The primary outcome was neonatal death before NICU discharge, and/or severe NEC (Bell criteria stage II/III). Neonates with and without death/severe NEC were compared. Results A total of 697 neonates met the criteria. Out of which 150 (21.5%) died and/or were diagnosed with severe NEC. Antenatal MgSO4 exposure was not associated with death/severe NEC in infants < 28 weeks. In a subgroup analysis of neonates < 26 weeks, treatment group assignment to antenatal MgSO4 was associated with an increased odds of death/severe NEC (adjusted odds ratio: 1.90, 95% confidence interval: 1.12-3.22, p = 0.017). Conclusions Among neonates < 26 weeks, antenatal MgSO4 was associated with death and severe NEC. Further prospective study in larger populations is needed.

description: The minimization of the magnetic field plays a crucial role in ultracold gas research. For instance, the contact interaction dominates all the other energy scales in the zero magnetic field limit, giving rise to novel quantum phases of matter. However, lowering magnetic fields well below the mG level is often challenging in ultracold gas experiments. In this article, we apply Landau-Zener spectroscopy to characterize and reduce the magnetic field on an ultracold gas of sodium atoms to a few tens of μG. The lowest magnetic field achieved here opens to observing novel phases of matter with ultracold spinor Bose gases.

Keratosum Hargitt, 1909: 379.
Meganema Fraser, 1939b: 60 [invalid junior homonym of Meganema Conrad, 1868 (Mollusca)].
Type species. Meganema claviformis Fraser, 1939b, by monotypy.
Current status. Invalid.
Remarks. Meganema Fraser, 1939b: 60 is an invalid junior homonym of Meganema Conrad, 1868: 267 (Mollusca). It has been regarded as a junior synonym of Lafoeina M. Sars, in G.O. Sars, 1874 by some authors (e.g., Fraser 1947a: 239) and of Keratosum Hargitt, 1909 by others (e.g., Calder 1991: 10). Keratosum has been included as a junior synonym of Lafoeina in some works (e.g., Schuchert 2001a: 59; WoRMS), but the two genera are considered distinct here based on differences in gonophore type and colony form. Actual junior synonyms of Keratosum include Levinsenia Hadži, 1917 [not Levinsenia Mésnil, 1897 (Polychaeta) or Levinsenia Stossich, 1899 (Trematoda) or Levinsenia Bale, 1915 (Hydrozoa)] and Eupoma Stechow, 1920. With synonyms available, it seems unnecessary to provide a replacement name for the junior homonym of Fraser.

description: Zwischen Franchisenehmer und Franchisegeber wird in Franchiseverhältnissen in der Regel ein Franchisevertrag unterzeichnet. In Franchiseverträgen treten für die beiden Vertragspartner Incentive-Effekte von Vertragsklauseln auf. Im theoretischen Teil der Arbeit wird der Franchisevertrag, der das Fundament eines Franchiseverhältnisses darstellt, diskutiert. Es wird auf die Verteilung der Eigentumsrechte zwischen den Vertragspartnern näher eingegangen. Die residualen Einkommensrechte werden zwischen Franchisenehmer und Franchisegeber aufgeteilt und sind daher verdünnt. Franchiseverträge beinhalten verschiedene Klauseln, die als Eigentumssurrogate bezeichnet werden können. Diese werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit nach näherer Beleuchtung in Incentive-Klauseln für den Franchisenehmer und den Franchisegeber eingeteilt. Im empirischen Teil dieser Arbeit wird auf zwei Forschungsfragen näher eingegangen. Zuerst werden Unterschiede zwischen subjektiven Daten aus Fragebögen und objektiven Daten aus Verträgen gegenübergestellt. Es wird getestet, ob Unterschiede in diesen beiden Arten von Daten vorliegen. Anhand der zweiten Forschungsfrage wird ein Test betreffend die Incentive-Effekte von verschiedenen Vertragsklauseln und deren Beziehung durchgeführt.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit soll einen Beitrag zur wissenschaftlichen Diskussion leisten, wie Väter mit geistiger Behinderung ihre Lebens- und Unterstützungssituation erleben. Der Fokus liegt hierbei auf der Vater-Kind-Beziehung, den sozialen Reaktionen auf die Vaterschaft sowie den Unterstützungssystemen bei der Kindererziehung. Im theoretischen Teil der Arbeit wurden relevante thematische Aspekte dazu erarbeitet: Dazu zählten die Auseinandersetzung mit den Begriffen ‚Behinderung‘ und ‚Geistige Behinderung‘, die Darstellung der Lebenssituationen von Erwachsenen mit geistiger Behinderung, die Beschaffung von Informationen zur Vaterschaft und rechtliche Aspekte der Vaterschaft von Männern mit geistiger Behinderung sowie die Beschäftigung mit sozialen Reaktionen auf und Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten für eine Elternschaft von Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung. Im empirischen Teil der Arbeit wurden Interviews von Vätern mit geistiger Behinderung, die entweder mit ihrem Kind in einem Haushalt lebten oder nicht, analysiert, um Aussagen über deren Lebens- und Unterstützungssituation treffen zu können. Das Material wurde mit dem ‚problemzentrierten Interview‘ nach Witzel (2000) erhoben. Die dadurch erhaltenen Informationen wurden mit der Methode der ‚Qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse‘ nach Mayring (2010) ausgewertet.
description: The diploma at hand contributes to the scientific discussion concerning the life- and support situation of fathers with mental disabilities. Here, the focus lies on the father-child relationship, the social reactions to the paternity and the support systems available for the child’s education and care. In the theoretical part of this thesis relevant thematic aspects were acquired. This included the examination of terms like ‘disability’ and ‘mental disability’, the description of the life situation of adults with mental disabilities, the gathering of information about paternity and legal aspects of the paternity of men with mental disabilities as well as the discussion of social reactions to and support systems for the parents with mental disabilities. The practical part of this thesis analyzed interviews with fathers with mental disabilities, who either lived together with their children or not, to gain insights about their life- and support situation. The data was collected applying the ‘problemzentrierte Interview’ (problem centered interview) technique by Witzel (2000). The gathered informations were evaluated using the ‘Qualitative Inhaltsanalyse’ (qualitative content analysis) method by Mayring (2010).

description: We explore an augmented democracy system built on off-the-shelf LLMs fine-tuned to augment data on citizen's preferences elicited over policies extracted from the government programs of the two main candidates of Brazil's 2022 presidential election. We use a train-test cross-validation setup to estimate the accuracy with which the LLMs predict both: a subject's individual political choices and the aggregate preferences of the full sample of participants. At the individual level, we find that LLMs predict out of sample preferences more accurately than a "bundle rule", which would assume that citizens always vote for the proposals of the candidate aligned with their self-reported political orientation. At the population level, we show that a probabilistic sample augmented by an LLM provides a more accurate estimate of the aggregate preferences of a population than the non-augmented probabilistic sample alone. Together, these results indicates that policy preference data augmented using LLMs can capture nuances that transcend party lines and represents a promising avenue of research for data augmentation.

Remarks. In describing Meganema claviformis, Fraser (1939b) reported that the hydroid was “attached to sponges, barnacle shells, etc.” No name-bearing type was designated by him. The only type material of the species in existence is mounted on a slide (BCPM 976-00302-001) in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM. Two specimens occur on the slide, both of them fragmentary. While the fragments may be part of a single colony, we have not assumed so for nomenclatural purposes (ICZN Recommendation 73F). The specimen on the left side of the slide has been designated here as the lectotype (RBCM 976-00302-002) to objectively define the species and ensure stability of nomenclature. The specimen on the right is the paralectotype.
Fraser (1947a) abandoned Meganema Fraser, 1939b as valid, acknowledging that M. claviformis was referable to the same genus as Lafoeina maxima Levinsen, 1893. He nevertheless persisted in recognizing Lafoeina claviformis as a distinct species. The two were later regarded as synonyms (Calder 1970, 1991). The species is listed in Cairns et al. (2002) as Keratosum maximum and in WoRMS as Lafoeina maxima. The former is maintained here for reasons given above in Remarks on the genus Meganema.

description: We theoretically investigate the antivortex stabilized by anisotropic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in nanodisks. It is remarkably found that the antivortex remains stable even when the nanodisk radius is reduced to 15 nm, owing to the short-range nature of the DMI. We also investigate the antivortex dynamics under a static in-plane magnetic field, which shows that the displacement of the antivortex core depends on its vorticity and helicity, providing a fundamental basic for distinguishing different vortex types. Additionally, spin-polarized currents can trigger a self-sustained gyration of the antivortex at low current densities, while inducing polarity switching at high current densities. Our findings offer valuable insights into the DMI role in stabilizing topological solitons and their potential applications in spin-torque nano-oscillators and magnetic memories.

About the Burton-Miller factor in the low frequency region

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: The Burton-Miller method is a widely used approach in acoustics to enhance the stability of the boundary element method for exterior Helmholtz problems at so-called critical frequencies. This method depends on a coupling parameter $η$ and it can be shown that as long as $η$ has an imaginary part different from 0, the boundary integral formulation for the Helmholtz equation has a unique solution at all frequencies. A popular choice for this parameter is $η= \frac{\mathrm{i}}{k}$, where $k$ is the wavenumber. It can be shown that this choice is quasi optimal, at least in the high frequency limit. However, especially in the low frequency region, where the critical frequencies are still sparsely distributed, different choices for this factor result in a smaller condition number and a smaller error of the solution. In this work, alternative choices for this factor are compared based on numerical experiments. Additionally, a way to enhance the Burton-Miller solution with $η= \frac{\mathrm{i}}{k}$ for a sound hard scatterer in the low frequency region by an additional step of a modified Richardson iteration is introduced.

description: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is curable in about 2/3 of patients with R-CHOP immunochemotherapy. Risk stratification of DLBCL that employs the International Prognostic Index (IPI) is a robust predictive prognostic model, developed more than two decades ago and grouped patients into four categories with a 2-year survival of 34% in the highest risk group(1). The revised IPI confirmed the prognostic ability of these factors in the rituximab era, stratifying the outcome of patients using similar prognostic markers and regrouping patients into 3 categories: patients with 3 or more risk factors had the worst PFS of 53% (2). Despite overall improvements with rituximab, the prognosis continues to remain poor in patients with high risk features.

Current status. Invalid.
Remarks. Endothecium Fraser, 1935b is an invalid junior homonym of Endothecium Koker, 1924: 22
(Anthozoa). Hirohito (1995) proposed Sagamihydra as a replacement name for the junior homonym, although he misspelled it as Sagamihyra on page 42 in the same publication. For the record, Sagamihydra is taken here to be the correct original spelling under the First Reviser Principle (ICZN 24.2.3). In the WoRMS list, Sagamihydra is currently included in the synonymy of Halecium Oken, 1815, but the genus is considered valid here in having hydranths with an intertentacular web, a cnidome comprising large haplonemes in addition to microbasic mastigophores, and gonophores that arise from within the hydrothecal cavity (Calder 1991; Hirohito 1995).

description: BACKGROUND: Low levels of energy expenditure (TEE) may contribute to excess weight during childhood, but limited longitudinal data exist.
OBJECTIVES: This is to test whether low TEE during the first 6 years of life could predict excess weight status at 8 years.
METHODS: Total energy expenditure from doubly labelled water, weight, stature, waist circumference and fat mass and fat-free mass (FFM) in children at 0.25, 2, 4 and 6 years of age. This cohort includes individuals at high (n = 27) and low risk (n = 26) for childhood obesity, based upon whether pre-pregnant maternal obesity. A linear mixed effects model was fit to TEE. Individual variation was accounted for as a random effect. Residual TEE was calculated for age and individually averaged across time.
RESULTS: Fat-free mass (kg) was highly correlated (R2  = 0.91) with TEE (kcal/day), and waist circumference and sex were also significant predictors of TEE. TEE residual tracked within individuals. TEE residuals did not correlate with either BMI or %fat at age 8 years.
CONCLUSION: Using the residual TEE approach to identify high and low TEE during the first 6 years of life did not explain excess weight at 8 years of life in this cohort of children at high and low risk of obesity based upon maternal obesity status.

description: Color centers in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have become an intensively researched system due to their potential applications in quantum technologies. There has been a large variety of defects being fabricated, yet, for many of them, the atomic origin remains unclear. The direct imaging of the defect is technically very challenging, in particular since, in a diffraction-limited spot, there are many defects and then one has to identify the one that is optically active. Another approach is to compare the photophysical properties with theoretical simulations and identify which defect has a matching signature. It has been shown that a single property for this is insufficient and causes misassignments. Here, we publish a density functional theory (DFT)-based searchable online database covering the electronic structure of hBN defects (257 triplet and 211 singlet configurations), as well as their photophysical fingerprint (excited state lifetime, quantum efficiency, transition dipole moment and orientation, polarization visibility, and many more). All data is open-source and publicly accessible at https://h-bn.info and can be downloaded. It is possible to enter the experimentally observed defect signature and the database will output possible candidates which can be narrowed down by entering as many observed properties as possible. The database will be continuously updated with more defects and new photophysical properties (which can also be specifically requested by any users). The database therefore allows one to reliably identify defects but also investigate which defects might be promising for magnetic field sensing or quantum memory applications.

description: The problem of detecting spam reviews (opinions) has received significant attention in recent years, especially with the rapid development of e-commerce. Spam reviews are often classified based on comment content, but in some cases, it is insufficient for models to accurately determine the review label. In this work, we introduce the ViSpamReviews v2 dataset, which includes metadata of reviews with the objective of integrating supplementary attributes for spam review classification. We propose a novel approach to simultaneously integrate both textual and categorical attributes into the classification model. In our experiments, the product category proved effective when combined with deep neural network (DNN) models, while text features performed well on both DNN models and the model achieved state-of-the-art performance in the problem of detecting spam reviews on Vietnamese e-commerce websites, namely PhoBERT. Specifically, the PhoBERT model achieves the highest accuracy when combined with product description features generated from the SPhoBert model, which is the combination of PhoBERT and SentenceBERT. Using the macro-averaged F1 score, the task of classifying spam reviews achieved 87.22% (an increase of 1.64% compared to the baseline), while the task of identifying the type of spam reviews achieved an accuracy of 73.49% (an increase of 1.93% compared to the baseline).

description: To determine if mindfulness meditation (MM) in older adults improves cognition and, secondarily, if MM improves mental health and physiology, 134 at least mildly stressed 50–85-year olds were randomized to a 6-week MM intervention or a waitlist control. Outcome measures were assessed at baseline and 2 months later at visit 2. The primary outcome measure was an executive function/attentional measure (flanker task). Other outcome measures included additional cognitive assessments, salivary cortisol, respiratory rate, heart rate variability, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CESD), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness (NEO) personality traits, and SF-36 health-related quality of life. One hundred twenty-eight participants completed the study though visit 2 assessments. There was no significant change in the primary or other cognitive outcome measures. Even after statistical adjustment for multiple outcomes, self-rated measures related to negative affect and stress were all significantly improved in the MM intervention compared to waitlist group (PANAS-negative, CESD, PSS, and SF-36 health-related quality of life Vitality and Mental Health Component). The SF-36 Mental Health Component score improved more than the minimum clinically important difference. There were also significant changes in personality traits such as Neuroticism. Changes in positive affect were not observed. There were no group differences in salivary cortisol or heart rate variability. These moderate-sized improvements in self-rated measures were not paralleled by improvements in cognitive function or physiological measures. Potential explanations for this discrepancy in stress-related outcomes are discussed to help improve future studies.

description: The postsynaptic density (PSD), apparent in electron micrographs as a dense lamina just beneath the postsynaptic membrane, includes a deeper layer, the "pallium", containing a scaffold of Shank and Homer proteins. Though poorly defined in traditionally prepared thin-section electron micrographs, the pallium becomes denser and more conspicuous during intense synaptic activity, due to the reversible addition of CaMKII and other proteins. In this Perspective article, we review the significance of CaMKII-mediated recruitment of proteins to the pallium with respect to both the trafficking of receptors and the remodeling of spine shape that follow synaptic stimulation. We suggest that the level and duration of CaMKII translocation and activation in the pallium will shape activity-induced changes in the spine.
