description: Chaetodera maheva (Künckel d’Herculais 1887)
Figures 7-9, 17
 Cicindela maheva Künckel d’Herculais (1887: pl. 24 f. 3).
 Type material. Syntype male, labeled “ Cicindela /maheva/Fm” and “Fairmaire” (DEIC, examined). Syntype female, labeled “ Cicindela /maheva/Fairm. Madg.” (DEIC, examined). Although labeled as type specimens by W. Horn, these may actually be material associated with the redescription of the species by Fairmaire (1897), rather than the original illustration by Künckel d’Herculais (Moravec and Gillett 2009).
 Diagnosis. Length 15.0-18.5 mm. Dorsal coloration as shown in Figures 7-9. Easily separated from C. andriana and C. regalis by its much narrower and more strongly oblique (angled) black and yellow elytral markings. From C. antatsima and C. perrieri it can be separated by its larger size (body length 15.0 mm or more) and by its pale yellow elytral markings rather than ivory-white.
 Material examined. MADAGASCAR: Maevatanana (1 male, 1 female, AMNH; 1 male, CMNH; 2 females, DEIC; 1 female, NMNH); Majunga (1 female, DEIC); Plateau de l’Andray – Reg. d’Ambovombe (1 female, DEIC); Tananarive (1 female, CMNH), XII.1919 (1 male, 1 female, FMNH).
 Taxonomic Notes. The specific epithet has been attributed to Künckel d’Herculais (Jeannel 1946; Wiesner 1992; Moravec and Gillett 2009) and also to Fairmaire (Horn 1934; Olsoufieff 1934). The name “ Cicindela maheva ” was originally applied by Künckel d’Herculais (1887) to two figures in the “Atlas” volume of the “Histoire Naturelle des Coléoptères,” which in turn formed part of the monumental multi-volume “Histoire Physique, Naturelle, et Politique de Madagascar ” edited by Alfred Grandidier. The first of the two figures (pl. 24 f. 3) labeled C. maheva by Künckel d’Herculais is the species now known as C. maheva, while the second of the two figures (pl. 24 f. 4) labeled C. maheva by Künckel d’Herculais is the species now known as C. andriana. A full description of the species now known as C. maheva was not provided until Fairmaire (1897), leading other authors (Horn 1934; Olsoufieff 1934) to attribute the name to Fairmaire, rather than Künckel d’Herculais. According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999; see Article 12, Names published before 1931, and particularly section 12.2.7), the association of the name “ Cicindela maheva ” with the illustration in Künckel de Herculais (1887: pl. 24 f. 3) is sufficient “indication” to render the name Cicindela maheva available. Thus the name should be attributed to Künckel d’Herculais (1887) and not Fairmaire (1897).

description: Magnetic clouds (MCs) are a subset of ejecta, launched from the Sun as coronal mass ejections. The coherent rotation of the magnetic field vector observed in MCs leads to envision MCs as formed by flux ropes (FRs). Among all the methods used to analyze MCs, Lepping's method (Lepping et al, 1990, JGR 95, 11957) is the broadest used. While this fitting method does not require the axial field component to vanish at the MC boundaries, this idea is largely spread in publications. Then, we revisit Lepping's method to emphasize its hypothesis and the meaning of its output parameters. As originally defined, these parameters imply a fitted FR which could be smaller or larger than the studied MC. We rather provide a re-interpretation of Lepping's results with a fitted model limited to the observed MC interval. We find that, typically the crossed FRs are asymmetric with a larger side both in size and magnetic flux before or after the FR axis. At the boundary of the largest side we find an axial magnetic field component distributed around 0 which we justify by the physics of solar eruptions. In contrast, at the boundary of the smaller side the axial field distribution is shifted to positive values, as expected with erosion acting during the interplanetary travel. This new analysis of Lepping's results have several implications. First, global quantities, such as magnetic fluxes and helicity, need to be revised depending on the aim (estimating global properties of FRs just after the solar launch or at 1 au). Second, the deduced twist profiles in MCs range quasi-continuously from nearly uniform, to increasing away from the FR axis, up to a reversal near the MC boundaries. There is no trace of outsider cases, but a continuum of cases. Finally, the impact parameter of the remaining FR crossed at 1 au is revised. Its distribution is compatible with weakly flatten FR cross-sections.

description: Mapping the biogeochemical characteristics of surficial ocean sediments is crucial for advancing our understanding of global element cycling, as well as for assessment of the potential footprint of environmental change. Despite their importance as long-term repositories for biogenic materials produced in the ocean and delivered from the continents, biogeochemical signatures in ocean sediments remain poorly delineated. Here, we introduce MOSAIC (Modern Ocean Sediment Archive and Inventory of Carbon; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5168/mosaic019.1, mosaic.ethz.ch, Van der Voort et al., 2019), a (radio)carbon-centric database that seeks to address this information void. The goal of this nascent database is to provide a platform for development of regional to global-scale perspectives on the source, abundance and composition of organic matter in marine surface sediments, and to explore links between spatial variability in these characteristics and biological and depositional processes. The database has a continental margin-centric focus given both the importance and complexity of continental margins as sites of organic matter burial. It places emphasis on radiocarbon as an underutilized yet powerful tracer and chronometer of carbon cycle processes, and with a view to complementing radiocarbon databases for other earth system compartments. The database infrastructure and interactive web-application are openly accessible and designed to facilitate further expansion of the database. Examples are presented to illustrate large-scale variabilities in bulk carbon properties that emerge from the present data compilation.

description: The middle Miocene climate transition (MMCT, ~14.5–13.0 Ma) was associated with a significant expansion of Antarctic ice, but the mechanisms triggering the event remain enigmatic. We present a new clumped isotope (∆47) bottom water temperature (BWT) record from 16.0 Ma to 12.2 Ma from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 747 in the Southern Ocean, and compare it to existing BWT records. We show that BWTs in the Southern Ocean were ~8–10 °C during the middle Miocene greenhouse, and thus considerably warmer than today. Nonetheless, bottom water δ18O (calculated from foraminiferal δ18O and ∆47) suggests substantial amounts of land ice throughout the interval of the study. Our dataset demonstrates that BWTs at Site 747 decreased by ~3–5 °C across the MMCT. This cooling preceded the stepped main increase in global ice volume, and appears to have been followed by a transient bottom water warming starting during or slightly after the main ice volume increase. We speculate that a regional freshening of the upper water column at this time may have increased stratification and reduced bottom water heat loss to the atmosphere, counteracting global cooling in the bottom waters of the Southern Ocean and possibly even at larger scales. Additional processes and feedbacks required for substantial ice growth may have contributed to the observed decoupling of Southern Ocean BWT and global ice volume.

description: We study the release of various elements from Callisto's surface into its exosphere by plasma sputtering. The cold Jovian plasma is simulated with a 3D plasma-planetary interaction hybrid model, which produces 2D surface precipitation maps for magnetospheric H+ , O+ , O++ , and S++ . For the hot Jovian plasma, we assume isotropic precipitation onto the complete spherical surface. Two scenarios are investigated: One where no ionospheric shielding takes place and accordingly full plasma penetration is implemented ('no ionosphere' scenario), and one where an ionosphere lets virtually none of the cold plasma but all of the hot plasma reach Callisto's surface ('ionosphere' scenario). In the 3D exosphere model, neutral particles are sputtered from the surface and followed on their individual trajectories. The 3D density profiles show that whereas in the 'no ionosphere' scenario the ram direction is favored, the 'ionosphere' scenario produces almost uniform density profiles. In addition, the density profiles in the 'ionosphere' scenario are reduced by a factor of ~2.5 with respect to the 'no ionosphere' scenario. We find that the Neutral gas and Ion Mass spectrometer, which is part of the Particle Environment Package on board the JUICE mission, will be able to detect the different sputter populations from Callisto's icy surface and the major sputter populations from Callisto's non-icy surface. The chemical composition of Callisto's exosphere can be directly linked to the chemical composition of its surface, and will offer us information not only on Callisto's formation scenario but also on the building blocks of the Jupiter system.

description: Around the world, centrally-located land is scarce, making the sustainable use of available land a necessity. As a consequence, policymakers worldwide pursue strategies that aim to densify existing settlements. However, concrete densification projects tend to provoke (local) opposition. We examine how individuals assess general and local densification in Switzerland. The Swiss case is particularly interesting due to its high population density and recent spatial planning policy shifts towards densification. We base our analysis on a choice experiment that relies on a representative sample of 3003 residents. The results indicate that residents support general densification but reject such projects within their neighborhoods, leading to substantial shifts in support for densification. However, opposition to densification differs depending on the neighborbood type individuals live in and on project-related factors. These differences point to possible opportunities for increasing the acceptance of densifying our settlements.

description: Investigations on state-dependent and endogenous preferences have gained momentum. There is now abundant empirical literature on whether, and how, external stimuli influence or predict people’s behavior and appraisals. In recent decades, attempts have been made to enlarge this strand of research to determine whether “nudging” may help in managing environmental problems and boosting social preferences. Following this line of investigation, we describe a web experiment to analyze the impact of priming on environmental and ethical attitudes and willingness to pay (WTP) for environmental protection. We found that while priming does make pro-environmental attitudes more salient, its frame affects the probability of WTP a premium for environment-friendly goods and the size of the premium. Unlike other authors, we used a visual priming technique based on a short video cartoon about a smartphone lifecycle.
Beam-Breakup Instability Theory for Energy Recovery Linacs

description: Here we will derive the general theory of the beam-breakup instability in recirculating linear accelerators, in which the bunches do not have to be at the same RF phase during each recirculation turn. This is important for the description of energy recovery linacs (ERLs) where bunches are recirculated at a decelerating phase of the RF wave and for other recirculator arrangements where different RF phases are of an advantage. Furthermore it can be used for the analysis of phase errors of recirculated bunches. It is shown how the threshold current for a given linac can be computed and a remarkable agreement with tracking data is demonstrated. The general formulas are then analyzed for several analytically solvable cases, which show: (a) Why different higher order modes (HOM) in one cavity do not couple so that the most dangerous modes can be considered individually. (b) How different HOM frequencies have to be in order to consider them separately. (c) That no optics can cause the HOMs of two cavities to cancel. (d) How an optics can avoid the addition of the instabilities of two cavities. (e) How a HOM in a multiple-turn recirculator interferes with itself. Furthermore, a simple method to compute the orbit deviations produced by cavity misalignments has also been introduced. It is shown that the BBU instability always occurs before the orbit excursion becomes very large.

description: Acid deposition is a present and future cause of biodiversity losses in vulnerable upland areas of Scotland important for nature conservation. However, the exact nature of damage under the status quo, and both the timing and extent of recovery of upland ecosystems if deposition is reduced. are subject to uncertainty. This uncertainty complicates damage cost estimation. In this paper, we have explored the use of CVM to measure the willingness to pay (WfP) of the Scottish population for uncertain recovery/damage scenarios from reduced acid rain deposition. An optimally-designed referendum format was used, utilising the distribution of open-ended bids from a pilot study to determine bid amounts and sampling size for each bid amount. Eight explanatory variables, including future damage level were selected in a non-linear step-wise regression analysis. Average household WTP for abatement of acid rain was £247 and £351 per year when faced with low and high future damage levels respectively. Recovery level and recovery time did not significantly influence WTP. When faced with risky outcomes regarding future damage and recovery level respondents were found to be risk averse to both environmental gains and losses.

description: We propose a scheme for constructing classical spin Hamiltonians from Hunds coupled spin-fermion models in the limit J_H/t \to \infinity. The strong coupling between fermions and the core spins requires self-consistent calculation of the effective exchange in the model, either in the presence of inhomogeneities or with changing temperature. In this paper we establish the formalism and discuss results mainly on the ``clean'' double exchange model, with self consistently renormalised couplings, and compare our results with exact simulations. Our method allows access to system sizes much beyond the reach of exact simulations, and we can study transport and optical properties of the model without artificial broadening. The method discussed here forms the foundation of our papers Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 246602 (2003), and Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 126602 (2004).

description: This paper considers nine possible reasons why firms might trade less often in permit markets than was expected in the early development, and consequent simulations, of the theory. Fewer trades are bad in the sense that they lead to a potential erosion of the cost-saving properties of tradeable permit systems. The first reason considered is one which has popular currency, namely that of imperfect competition in the permit market. However, we reject this as a convincing explanation. The paper then reviews eight other possible explanations; these are oligopoly in the output market; future endowments of property rights; loss aversion; asymmetric information; non-convexities in cost functions; agency problems within the firm; transactions costs; and the sequential nature of trading.

description: Mode-resolved dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) is an emerging spectroscopic tool with the potential to simultaneously achieve a broad spectral coverage and ultrahigh spectral resolution in terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. However, the need for two independently stabilized ultrafast lasers significantly hampers the potential application of DCS techniques. In this article, we demonstrate mode-resolved DCS in the THz region based on a free-running single-cavity dual-comb fiber laser with adaptive sampling. Low-pressure spectroscopy of acetonitrile gas with absorption features approaching the Doppler limit is demonstrated by comb-mode-resolved measurements with a spectral sampling spacing of 48.8 MHz, a spectral resolution of less than 5 MHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of ~50 dB. The successful demonstration of the proposed method clearly indicates the great potential for the realization of low-complexity, MHz-resolution THz spectroscopy instrumentation.

description: Miniature lenses with tunable focus are essential components for many modern applications involving compact optical systems. While several tunable lenses have been reported with various tuning mechanisms, they often still face challenges in power consumption, tuning speed, fabrication cost, or production scalability. In this work, we have adapted the mechanism of an Alvarez lens - a varifocal composite lens in which lateral shifts of two optical elements with cubic phase surfaces give rise to a change in optical power - to construct a miniature, MEMS-actuated metasurface Alvarez lens. The implementation based on electrostatic microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) generates fast and controllable actuation with low power consumption. The utilization of metasurfaces, ultrathin and subwavelength-patterned diffractive optics, as the optical elements greatly reduces the device volume compared to systems using conventional freeform lenses. The entire MEMS Alvarez metalens is fully compatible with modern semiconductor fabrication technologies, granting it the potential to be mass-produced at a low unit cost. In the reported prototype to operate at 1550 nm wavelength, a total uniaxial displacement of 6.3 um is achieved in the Alvarez metalens with direct-current (DC) voltage application up to 20 V, modulating the focal position within a total tuning range of 68 um, producing more than an order of magnitude change in focal length and 1460 diopters change in optical power. The MEMS Alvarez metalens has a robust design that can potentially generate a much larger tuning range without substantially increasing device volume or energy consumption, making it desirable for a wide range of imaging and display applications.

description: Magnetic moments of free and bound deuteron and triton are considered and new results for their magnetic moments (in units of that of the proton) and their g factors are presented. We report on a measurement with medium-pressure hydrogen deuteride (HD) at 10 atm, which is to be compared with the previous measurement done at 100 atm. We confirm that the high pressure used in former experiments caused no systematic effects at a level of 10 ppb. We also reexamined a theoretical uncertainty related to screening effects in HD and HT molecules and found that previously it was underestimated. The medium-pressure result obtained for the free deuteron mu_d/mu_p=0.307 012 206 5(28) with a fractional uncertainty of 9.1 * 10^-9 is free of systematic effects related to former high-pressure experiments. The reevaluated result for triton is mu_t/mu_p=1.066 639 908(10) with a fractional uncertainty of 9.3 * 10^-9.

description: This work presents on improvement in gravimetric measurement for determining the porosity and thickness of microporous silicon. Herein, the corrosion of fresh macroporous silicon (f-MPSi) in 1.0 M NaOH with different concentrations of polyethylene glycol (PEG 200/400/600) was studied by weight loss measurement and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the corrosion rate decreased with increasing polyethylene glycol concentration, and increased with an increase in temperature. Polyethylene glycol can inhibit the corrosion of f-MPSi in NaOH solution. Moreover, 1.0 M NaOH/PEG 600 (10%) can be used as the optimized solution to remove f-MPSi for measuring its porosity and thickness by gravimetric measurement.

description: We investigate chaotic behavior in a 2-D Hamiltonian system - oscillators with anharmonic coupling. We compare the classical system with quantum system. Via the quantum action, we construct Poincaré sections and compute Lyapunov exponents for the quantum system. We find that the quantum system is globally less chaotic than the classical system. We also observe with increasing energy the distribution of Lyapunov exponts approaching a Gaussian with a strong correlation between its mean value and energy.

description: Under mild assumptions, we establish a Liouville theorem for the "Laplace" equation $Au=0$ associated with the infinitesimal generator $A$ of a Lévy process: If $u$ is a weak solution to $Au=0$ which is at most of (suitable) polynomial growth, then $u$ is a polynomial. As a by-product, we obtain new regularity estimates for semigroups associated with Lévy processes.

description: This paper describes the results of an ecological-economic modelling exercise of the management of a scarce habitat, namely heather moor/and. The Orkney Islands of Scotland are used to illustrate a modelling approach which could be easily applied elsewhere, and to other habitats. We describe the evolution and present condition of heather moorland on Orkney, then quantify the extent on over-grazing (leading to ecological damage) on a spatial basis. This is accomplished using a model of heather utilisation and heather productivity. Critical grazing limits are then used as constraints in an economic model of farm production decisions, which enables us /0 quantify the minimum necessary compensation payments which farmers should be offered to off\'et income losses due to grazing restrictions. Such a policy is in line with European Union and UK agri-environmental policy, which typically uses payments for income foregone as a means of persuading farmers to protect environmental quality_
Search for eV Sterile Neutrinos -- The STEREO Experiment [TAUP 2017]

description: In the recent years, major milestones in neutrino physics were accomplished at nuclear reactors: the smallest neutrino mixing angle $θ_{13}$ was determined with high precision and the emitted antineutrino spectrum was measured at unprecedented resolution. However, two anomalies, the first one related to the absolute flux and the second one to the spectral shape, have yet to be solved. The flux anomaly is known as the Reactor Antineutrino Anomaly and could be caused by the existence of a light sterile neutrino eigenstate participating in the neutrino oscillation phenomenon. Introducing a sterile state implies the presence of a fourth mass eigenstate, while global fits favour oscillation parameters around $\sin^{2}(2θ)=0.09$ and $Δm^{2}=1.8\textrm{eV}^{2}$. The STEREO experiment was built to finally solve this puzzle. It is one of the first running experiments built to search for eV sterile neutrinos and takes data since end of 2016 at ILL Grenoble, France. At a short baseline of 10 metres, it measures the antineutrino flux and spectrum emitted by a compact research reactor. The segmentation of the detector in six target cells allows for independent measurements of the neutrino spectrum at multiple baselines. An active-sterile flavour oscillation could be unambiguously detected, as it distorts the spectral shape of each cell's measurement differently. This contribution gives an overview on the STEREO experiment, along with details on the detector design, detection principle and the current status of data analysis.

description: The ability to controllably manipulate the complex topological polar configurations, such as polar flux-closure via external stimuli, enables many applications in electromechanical devices and nanoelectronics including high-density information storage. Here, by using the atomically resolved in situ scanning transmission electron microscopy, we find that a polar flux-closure structure in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices films can be reversibly switched to ordinary mono ferroelectric c domain or a domain under electric field or stress. Specifically, the electric field initially drives the flux-closure move and breaks them to form intermediate a/c striped domains, while the mechanical stress firstly starts to squeeze the flux-closures to convert into small vortices at the interface and form a continues dipole wave. After the removal of the external stimuli, the flux-closure structure spontaneously returns. Our atomic study provides valuable insights into understanding the lattice-charge interactions and the competing interactions balance in these complex topological structures. Such reversible switching between the flux-closure and ordinary ferroelectric domains also provides the foundation for applications such as memories and sensors.

description: Agriculture is an important sector in economic growth of North Carolina that contributes 19 percent of the state’s income and employs over 20 percent of the work force. Of the total population, 30 percent are living in rural North Carolina where income earnings, education level, and employment opportunities are low while poverty and unemployment rates are considerably high. Of 100 counties 85 are rural and agriculture is one of the significant employment sectors. The objective of this study is to examine the potential use of agricultural sector in the economic growth of North Carolina. County level data gathered from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, USDA, and U.S. Census Bureau for the period of 2000 to 2010 are used for the study. A system of simultaneous equations is used for analysis. The results summarize that increasing income increases agricultural activities and vise versa. Thus, counties with high income levels are more capable of improving agriculture and counties with high gains through agriculture are more competent of improving income levels. Results highlight the importance of secured satisfactory level of income through agriculture to enhance economic growth.

description: Nanoparticles (NPs) transform in the environment which result in alterations to their physicochemical properties. However, the effects of aging on the toxicity of NPs to aquatic organisms remain to be determined. Further the reports that have been published present contradictory results. The aim of this study was to examine the stability of differently coated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in media and the influence of aging of these NP on potential toxicity to freshwater shrimp Paratya australiensis. Coating-dependent changes in the stability of AgNP were observed with aging. Curcumin (C) coated AgNPs were stable, while tyrosine (T) coated AgNPs and epigallocatechin gallate (E) coated AgNPs aggregated in the P. australiensis medium. Increased lipid peroxidation and catalase activity was noted in P. australiensis exposed to AgNPs, suggesting oxidative stress was associated with NP exposure. The enhanced oxidative stress initiated by aged C-AgNPs suggests that aging of these NPs produced different toxicological responses. In summary, data suggest that coating-dependent alterations in NPs, together with aging affect both persistence and subsequent toxicity of NPs to freshwater organisms. Thus, the coating-dependent fate and toxicity of AgNPs together with the effect of their aging need to be considered in assessing the environmental risk of AgNPs to aquatic organisms.

description: The local foods movement and alternatives to traditional agriculture are gaining considerable interest, not only in Kentucky, but throughout the country. This research provides information that may aid farmers in the decision to invest or not in the alternative agricultural enterprise of viticulture. The primary objective of the research was to determine the expected profitability for a 1-acre table grape vineyard in Kentucky. Data on production relationships, costs, and returns came from the Western Kentucky University demonstration vineyard, published enterprise budgets, and market observations. Annual pro-forma budgets were estimated for a 20-year planning horizon. It was assumed that the vineyard would not yield until the third year and that full production would begin in the fourth year and continues through the 20th year. It was further assumed that the farmer would market production via local farmers’ markets, school districts, and wholesale markets. Two pre-tax net present values were estimated using a 5% discount rate. The first assumed no compensation to family labor, which indicated a break-even point in the 4th year, a benefit-cost ratio of 2.39, and net present value of $91,059. The second analysis assumed compensation for family labor and indicated a break-even point in the 6th year, a benefit-cost ratio of 1.54, and a net present value of $54,724. Excluding taxation, the results indicate that table grape production in Kentucky is potentially economically viable.
On the sensitivity of heliosphere models to the uncertainty of the low-energy charge exchange cross section

description: Models play an important role in our understanding of the global structure of the solar wind and its interaction with the interstellar medium. A critical ingredient in many types of models are the charge-exchange collisions between ions and neutrals. Some ambiguity exists in the charge-exchange cross-section for protons and hydrogen atoms, depending on which experimental data is used. The differences are greatest at low energies, and for the plasma-neutral interaction in the outer heliosheath may exceed 50\%. In this paper we assess a number of existing data sets and formulae for proton-hydrogen charge-exchange. We use a global simulation of the heliosphere to quantify the differences between the currently favored cross-section, and a formulation we suggest that more closely matches the majority of available data. We find that in order to make the resulting two heliospheres the same size, the interstellar proton and hydrogen densities need to be adjusted by 10 to 15\%, which provides a way to link the uncertainty in the cross-section to the uncertainty in the parameters of the pristine interstellar plasma.

description: A statistical theory of the strip domain structure excited in a bubble film by an oscillating magnetic field is developed. The theory is based on the consideration of the strip domain structure as a thermodynamic system characterized by the spectrum of domain walls oscillation and an effective temperature that is caused by an oscillating magnetic field and film nonuniformities. We found the thermodynamic characteristics of that domain structure and calculated its period as a function of the frequency and amplitude of an oscillating magnetic field.
