Neuroterus haasi

description: Neuroterus haasi Kieffer, 1904
Neuroterus haasi Kieffer, 1904: 61, ǒ.
Distribution. India (Bengal, Kurseong) (Kieffer 1904: 62; Dalla-Torre & Kieffer 1910: 327; Mani 2000, according to Pénzes et al. 2018: 276).
Remarks. Neuroterus haasi was originally described from Q. spicata Smith, which has been synonymized with Lithocarpus elegans (Blume) Hatus. ex Soepadmo (Govaerts & Frodin 1998). This is a very strange host association for Neuroterus. In fact, Pénzes et al. (2018) suspect that N. haasi could be a Dryocosmus, but whether it belongs to Dryocosmus or Neuroterus must be examined in further detail, including analysis of DNA sequence data.
Biology. Only the asexual generation has been described, which induces galls in young shoots of Lithocarpus elegans (Table 1; Kieffer 1904; Dalla-Torre & Kieffer 1910).

description: Electronic correlation is believed to play an important role in exotic phenomena such as insulator-metal transition, colossal magneto resistance and high temperature superconductivity in correlated electron systems. Recently, it has been shown that electronic correlation may also be responsible for the formation of unconventional plasmons. Herewith, using a combination of angle-dependent spectroscopic ellipsometry, angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and Hall measurements all as a function of temperature supported by first-principles calculations, the existence of low-loss high-energy correlated plasmons accompanied by spectral weight transfer, a fingerprint of electronic correlation, in topological insulator (Bi$_{0.8}$Sb$_{0.2}$)$_2$Se$_3$ is revealed. Upon cooling, the density of free charge carriers in the surface states decreases whereas those in the bulk states increase, and that the newly-discovered correlated plasmons are key to explaining this phenomenon. Our result shows the importance of electronic correlation in determining new correlated plasmons and opens a new path in engineering plasmonic-based topologically-insulating devices.

description: We present a new methodology for the analysis of the emission lines of the interstellar medium in the Narrow Line Regions around type-2 Active Galactic Nuclei. Our aim is to provide a recipe that can be used for large samples of objects in a consistent way using different sets of optical emission-lines that takes into the account possible variations from the (O/H)-(N/O) relation to use [N II] lines. Our approach consists of a bayesian-like comparison between certain observed emission-line ratios sensitive to total oxygen abundance, nitrogen-to-oxygen ratio and ionization parameter with the predictions from a large grid of photoionization models calculated under the most usual conditions in this environment. We applied our method to a sample of Seyfert 2 galaxies with optical emission-line fluxes and determinations of their chemical properties from detailed models in the literature. Our results agree within the errors with other results and confirm the high metallicity of the objects of the sample, with N/O values consistent wit a large secondary production of N, but with a large dispersion. The obtained ionization parameters for this sample are much larger than those for star-forming object at the same metallicity.

This survey, updated every five years by the USDA, is used as a benchmark to estimate monthly and annual changes using National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) indices. ERS estimates the 2011 ARMS annual milk COP for Vermont at $32.61/cwt and for Maine at $37.45/cwt. Following the USDA methodology, we estimate the monthly COP for quarter one of 2012 for both states.

Neuroterus hakonensis

description: Neuroterus hakonensis Ashmead, 1904
Neuroterus hakonensis Ashmead, 1904: 79, ǒ.
Distribution. China (Shandong Province) (Ju et al. 2022: in press), Japan (Honshu) (Ashmead 1904: 79; Monzen 1929: 350, Monzen 1931: 193, Monzen 1954: 29; Shinji 1944: 119; Sakagami 1952: 72), and Korean Peninsula (Pujade-Villar et al. 2020a: 1215).
Remarks. Monzen (1954) identified the host plant of N. hakonensis as Q. acutissima (sect. Cerris) while Shinji (1944) identified the host plant as Q. serrata (sect. Quercus). Based on very strong oak section conservatism in a single generation of almost all Cynipini (Stone et al. 2009), both are unlikely to be true, and we regard the host(s) of this species as in need of confirmation.
Biology. Only the asexual generation has been described, which induces detachable leaf galls on an undetermined Quercus (see Remarks above) (Table 1; Monzen 1954).

description: This study examines undergraduate student attitudes to acting as peer-leaders in Applied Mathematics computing workshops. Through the use of data from end-of-trimester surveys and an on-line reflection worksheet, it is shown that students had positive attitudes to being leaders and were engaged in the experience. Benefits mentioned by students included an increased understanding of the content, increased confidence in communicating with and approaching others, and an improved connection with peers. The worksheet also gave students the option of suggesting improvements for the workshops. It was found that those who took up this option provided valuable feedback to the instructor from a student perspective, and that this improved the workshops for the next iteration of the course. Finally, it was concluded that the students acted as partners, not only by collaborating in the re-design of the workshop materials, but also because they were engaged in and contributed to learning and teaching in the course.

description: Farm Credit East recently supported an independent study by Dr. Rigoberto Lopez of the University of Connecticut (see page 25 for full profile) to quantitatively estimate the multiplier impact of Northeast agricultural production on the larger economy. This report presents those findings as an instructional resource for government, economic development agencies and our nonfarm neighbors to truly appreciate the economic and community benefits of successful, profitable agricultural producers. The purpose of this report is to ascertain and document the importance of agriculture and related industries to the Northeast economy. Natural resource-based businesses like farming, fishing and forestry have been important to the region since colonial times, when they formed the backbone of the economy. Today, while the economy and society have changed a great deal, agriculture remains vital to the region.

description: The additivity of both the entanglement of formation and the classical channel capacity is known to be a consequence of the strong superadditivity conjecture. We show that, conversely, the strong superadditivity conjecture follows from the additivity of the entanglement of formation; this means that the two conjectures are equivalent and that the additivity of the classical channel capacity is a consequence of them.

description: The objective of this report is to provide a benchmark of the percentage of Connecticut residents’ expenditures on locally-grown agricultural products. To this end, two specific assessments are conducted: • Consumer expenditures accounted for by locally-grown food (fruit, vegetables, dairy, poultry, eggs, meat and fish); and • Expenditures accounted for by locally-grown nursery and greenhouse (green industry) products relative to all such expenditures in the state. This report was produced at the request of the Connecticut Governor’s Council on Agricultural Development (GCAD). An overarching goal of GCAD is to “increase the percentage of consumer dollars spent on Connecticut-grown fresh produce and farm products, including, but not limited to, ways to increase the amount of money spent by residents of the state on locally-grown farm products, by 2020, to not less than five per cent of all money spent by such residents on food.” Thus, a corollary objective of this report is to document a methodology that can be replicated in the future to assess progress towards this goal.

description: We describe a theory of Mn local-moment magnetization relaxation due to p-d kinetic-exchange coupling with the itinerant-spin subsystem in the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As alloy. The theoretical Gilbert damping coefficient implied by this mechanism is calculated as a function of Mn moment density, hole concentration, and quasiparticle lifetime. Comparison with experimental ferromagnetic resonance data suggests that in annealed strongly metallic samples, p-d coupling contributes significantly to the damping rate of the magnetization precession at low temperatures. By combining the theoretical Gilbert coefficient with the values of the magnetic anisotropy energy, we estimate that the typical critical current for spin-transfer magnetization switching in all-semiconductor trilayer devices can be as low as $\sim 10^{5} {\rm A cm}^{-2}$.

description: The use of diatoms as bioindicators to detect human-induced change is a globally accepted monitoring tool. DNA metabarcoding is an effective complementary tool to standard microscopic methods for species identification, providing reliable and timeous diatom assessments in a range of aquatic ecosystems. This study evaluated the suitability of the DNA metabarcoding approach for diatom monitoring in the St Lucia Estuary, South Africa. Results obtained from the standard microscopic (morphological) and molecular methods were compared and indicated a low similarity in the vegetated (11%), unvegetated (12%) and epiphytic (12%) habitats at species level for the epipelic and epiphytic diatom communities. The difference between the methods was expected given the challenges pertaining to the incomplete molecular reference database, intragenomic variability, physiological differences (number of chloroplasts) and highly variable microphytobenthos biomass. While the molecular method was unable to identify the presence of all the dominant diatom species (routinely used as ecological indicators), the available molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) provided an effective complementary tool to determine the relevant community diversity estimates required for the application of the South African estuarine health index (EHI).

description: We consider the relativistic quantum mechanics of a two interacting fermions system. We first present a covariant formulation of the kinematics of the problem and give a short outline of the classical results. We then quantize the system with a general interaction potential and deduce the explicit equations in a spherical basis. The case of the Coulomb interaction is studied in detail by numerical methods, solving the eigenvalue problem for J=0, J=1, J=2 and determining the spectral curves for a varying ratio of the mass of the interacting particles. Details of the computations, together with a perturbative approach in the mass ratio and an extended description of the ground states of the Para- and Orthopositronium are given in Appendix.

description: Using a unique dataset of maize samples and consumer interviews form Eastern Kenya, we find that the presence of the fungal contaminant aflatoxin is negatively associated with the use of maize flour for food. While food remains the most common use of maize regardless of the presence of the toxin, contaminated maize is relatively more likely to be used for the production of alcoholic beverages, livestock feed, or sale. Retail maize prices are strongly correlated with an easily observable quality attribute, discoloration, but the correlation between price and aflatoxin contamination is not statistically distinguishable from zero. This suggests that consumers observe attributes that are correlated with aflatoxin upon careful inspection, or perhaps consumption of a portion of maize from a particular batch, and that their use of flour is based on this information. The apparently limited observability of attributes associated with aflatoxin contamination implies that problems associated with asymmetric information may affect this market. A comparison of maize quality by source provides evidence of such problems: purchased maize is more likely to be contaminated with aflatoxin than maize households have grown themselves, despite the fact that maize from larger producers is less likely to be contaminated.

description: This paper studies the growth dynamics of a developing country under migration. Assuming that human capital formation is subject to a strong enough, positive intertemporal externality, the prospect of migration will increase growth in the home country in the long run. If the external effect is less strong, there exists at least a level effect on the stock of human capital in the home country. In either case, the home country experiences a welfare gain, provided that migration is sufficiently restrictive. These results, obtained in a dynamic general equilibrium setting, extend and strengthen the results of Stark and Wang (2002) obtained in the context of a static model.

description: Episodic accretion has been used to explain the wide range of protostellar luminosities, but its origin and influence on the star forming process are not yet fully understood. We present an ALMA survey of N$_2$H$^+$ ($1-0$) and HCO$^+$ ($3-2$) toward 39 Class 0 and Class I sources in the Perseus molecular cloud. N$_2$H$^+$ and HCO$^+$ are destroyed via gas-phase reactions with CO and H$_2$O, respectively, thus tracing the CO and H$_2$O snowline locations. A snowline location at a much larger radius than that expected from the current luminosity suggests that an accretion burst has occurred in the past which has shifted the snowline outward. We identified 18/18 Class 0 and 9/10 Class I post-burst sources from N$_2$H$^+$, and 7/17 Class 0 and 1/8 Class I post-burst sources from HCO$^+$.The accretion luminosities during the past bursts are found to be $\sim10-100~L_\odot$. This result can be interpreted as either evolution of burst frequency or disk evolution. In the former case, assuming that refreeze-out timescales are 1000 yr for \ce{H2O} and 10,000 yr for CO, we found that the intervals between bursts increases from 2400 yr in the Class 0 to 8000 yr in the Class I stage. This decrease in the burst frequency may reflect that fragmentation is more likely to occur at an earlier evolutionary stage when the young stellar object is more prone to instability.

description: Purpose. This study aimed to examine the influence of occupational stress on health status and work disability among security guards in Serbia. Methods. Three hundred and ninty nine male security guards (aged 25–65 years) were examined during regular medical preventive check-ups at the Institute of Occupational Health. Data on their health status and permanent and temporary work disability were obtained, and correlations with the levels of occupational stress (measured by occupational stress index [OSI] questionnaire) were analysed. Results. A high prevalence of health impairments, including diabetes (38.8%), dyslipidaemia (82.7%), hypertension (69.9%) and metabolic syndrome (77.7%), was found. Highly significant correlations were shown between reported levels of total stress at work (total OSI score) and measured values of glucose, lipids, blood pressure, heart rate, Framingham cardiovascular risk scale, occurrence of diabetes and impaired fasting glucose, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular insults, degenerative eye-fundus changes, and temporary and permanent work disability. All of these correlations remained significant even after adjustments for age, body mass index and smoking status. Regression analysis confirmed the independent effect of occupational stress on the analysed parameters. Conclusions. There is a significant independent impact of occupational stress on development of health impairments and work disability among security guards.

description: Generalised additive models (GAMs) were applied to survey data to assess the influence of dissolved oxygen, water temperature and year of sampling upon the presence/absence of small (≤15 cm TL), medium (16–34 cm TL) and large (≥35 cm TL) size classes of deepwater Cape hake Merluccius paradoxus captured off the west coast of South Africa. Data were obtained from surveys using the RV Dr Fridtjof Nansen conducted in 2003 and from 2005 to 2013 during summer (January–February). Among the variables investigated, oxygen was the most important for the small size class (juveniles), with both low and high constraints (two-sided, ‘just right’ option), whereas for the medium and large size classes the oxygen effects were one-sided (avoiding lows). This finding, in combination with other published information, suggests that the Orange Banks is a nursery ground for juvenile M. paradoxus and that the area covered by this nursery ground can vary with the optimal oxygen concentration. The temperature constraint was generally wider and weaker than that for oxygen, being two-sided for the small and medium hake and one-sided (avoiding highs) for the large hake. The medium hake displayed the greatest tolerance to the investigated variables, which resulted in the widest distribution for this size class. Temperature, oxygen and sampling year play an important role in determining the distribution of M. paradoxus, but details of the biology (life cycle) of the species, such as its pelagic–demersal transition and associated movements, are no less important.

description: The influence of the office environment on employees has attracted inter-disciplinary research attention. This study investigates the differences in worker satisfaction and self-estimated job performance regarding indoor environmental quality (IEQ) parameters in personal workspaces between three office types (enclosed private office, enclosed shared office and cubicle with high partitions). A standard survey conducted by the Centre for the Built Environment (CBE) has been used to collect and analyse data from 175 workers in Ferdowsi University’s administrative office building. The CBE survey classifies IEQ parameters into seven main categories. Regardless of office type, there was a positive correlation between satisfaction and self-reported performance in all IEQ factors except cleanliness and maintenance; which means the increase in satisfaction would enhance the self-reported performance. Based on principal component analysis, the cleanliness and maintenance factor was the most effective in the enclosed private office and enclosed shared office.
