description: Purpose: The use of technology (e.g., telehealth) in clinical settings has rapidly increased, and its use in research settings continues to grow. The aim of this report is to present one potential solution to a clinical issue that of virtual and remote assessment for the purposes of spoken language research in persons with aphasia (PWA). To do so, we report detailed methods for conducting a multitimepoint (test–retest) virtual paradigm, assessing lifestyle, physiological, cognitive, and linguistic factors in persons with and without aphasia.Method: Procedures for virtual assessment are detailed in a sample of adults with no brain damage (N = 24) and PWA (N = 25) on a test–retest paradigm (data collection approximately 10 ± 3 days apart). This report provides practical information about pre-assessment (e.g., recruitment, scheduling), assessment (e.g., aphasia-friendly consent presentation, investigator fidelity), and postassessment (e.g., data storage, quality check) procedures for human behavior research using a virtual platform.Results: Preliminary study data are provided, indicating high retention rates, high rates of data acquisition, and feasibility. Common technological troubles and solutions are discussed, and solutions are offered. The results suggest that our pre-assessment, assessment, and postassessment procedures contributed to the success of our study.Conclusions: We provide a practical methodology for conducting a multitimepoint study, with considerations for PWA, adding to the body of research on telehealth in clinical populations. Future studies should continue to evaluate telemethodology, which may be core for diversifying studies, improving study retention, and enrolling larger sample sizes.

(Fig. 229)
 Description. Forewings 1.9 times longer than wide, length about 5.6 mm. Colour stramineous to light orangebrown; labium and fore tibiae and tarsi dark reddish-brown. Forewings with eight black marks, arranged in pairs near hind margin, some round, others elongated or nearly rectangular; the marks are separated by a broad red band and some white spots (covered with white powder); a red mark around last subcostal sector; veins stramineous, but second subcostal sector orange-red; short sections of Sc and R, and the apical cross-veins between Sc, R, and M faintly orange-red. Hindwings colourless. Facial carinae well separated, rostrum not surpassing hind coxae. Forewings with a triangle at base of Ms1. Male genitalia with apical part of aedeagus short, bearing two rounded, terminal lobes of equal length; the right lobe with a rounded extension at the base which partly overlaps the left lobe.
 Etymology. Derived from Nova Hibernia (New Ireland), the species name (novahiberniensis, -iensis, -iense) is an adjective.
 Type material. Holotype ♂ (forewing 5.6 mm), PAPUA NEW GUINEA, NEW IRELAND; labels: 1) NEW IRELAND (SW)/ "Camp Bishop"/ 15 km. up Kait R./ 125 m. VII-8-1956 2) Light Trap / E.J. Ford, Jr. (BPBM).
 Distribution. New Ireland.
 Diagnosis. Rhotana novahiberniensis resembles R. pavo (Bierman) from Sumatra and Borneo, as well as R. globosa sp. nov. and R. panthera sp. nov., both from New Guinea. It can be distinguished from the first two by the broad red bands separating the marks on the forewings and from the latter by the separated facial carinae, the wing markings not being of uniform shape, and the reddish-brown colour of the proboscis and fore tibiae.

description: Land premium added by the increase of environmental quality could motivate farmers to adopt Best Management Practices (BMPs). Local community also demands nearby farms to abate agricultural pollution and implement BMPs. Our study attempts to examine whether land values and local community characteristics can influence BMP adoption in addition to the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. We aggregate our survey data on BMP adoption conducted between 2011 and 2012 in Kentucky and the public data by using the geographic information, and then use Probit models to estimate choices of BMP adoption. In the model, we measure the land value effect by using percentage differences of farmland values between 2007 and 2012, and approximate the local community characteristic effect by including rural effect, urban effect, residential effect, and local farm business effect. Results show that increasing land values would motivate farmers to adopt additional riparian buffers; the local equine inventory have the positive impact on farmers’ future adoption of animal fences and nutrient management; farms located at the rural communities are less likely to fence off animal from water resources.

description: The chemistry of complex organic molecules in interstellar dark clouds is still highly uncertain in part because of the lack of constraining observations. Orion is the closest massive star-forming region, and observations making use of ALMA allow us to separate the emission regions of various complex organic molecules (COMs) in both velocity and space. Orion also benefits from an exceptional situation, in that it is the site of a powerful explosive event that occurred 550 years ago. We show that the closely surrounding Kleinmann-Low region has clearly been influenced by this explosion; some molecular species have been pushed away from the densest parts while others have remained in close proximity. This dynamical segregation reveals the time dependence of the chemistry and, therefore allows us to better constrain the formation sequence of COMs and other species, including deuterated molecules.

description: Economic compensation has been documented in many studies globally as an important strategy for enhancing acceptance by local residents of potentially hazardous facilities. Based on attribution theory, the present study investigates the situation for Waste-to-Energy (WTE) incineration plants using a questionnaire survey conducted with adjacent residents to four selected WTE incineration plants located in the Yangtze River Delta region, China. The results indicate that economic compensation effectively improves residents’ acceptance by being positively associated with their perceived economic benefit and trust in the local government, but is negatively associated with their perceived risks. Of these, trust plays the most vital role. The findings contribute to the literature on decision-making of locally unwanted land use siting in China by understanding the effects of economic compensation on local resident acceptance; and is of great significance for other countries involved in establishing sustainable municipal solid waste disposal systems of their own.

description: Abstract: In this paper we explore orthogonal systems in L2(R) which give rise to a skew-Hermitian, tridiagonal differentiation matrix. Surprisingly, allowing the differentiation matrix to be complex leads to a particular family of rational orthogonal functions with favourable properties: they form an orthonormal basis for L2(R), have a simple explicit formulae as rational functions, can be manipulated easily and the expansion coefficients are equal to classical Fourier coefficients of a modified function, hence can be calculated rapidly. We show that this family of functions is essentially the only orthonormal basis possessing a differentiation matrix of the above form and whose coefficients are equal to classical Fourier coefficients of a modified function though a monotone, differentiable change of variables. Examples of other orthogonal bases with skew-Hermitian, tridiagonal differentiation matrices are discussed as well.

description: This research seeks to determine whether a new source of data from a monthly, nationwide survey of food consumers, the Food Demand Survey (FooDS), is a leading indicator of meat prices included in the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Consumer Price Index. This study relies on consumers’ expectations about prices increasing or decreasing. For most meats studied, survey-based consumer price expectations Granger cause retail meat prices. Because the BLS releases price data with a lag, the survey data can be used as a leading indicator to project future retail price changes two times before the official government reports are released.

description: Die älteste deutsche Bildillustrierte „Stern“ beging im August 2023 ihr 75-jähriges Bestehen. Das Verlagshaus feierte das Jubiläum in einer Sonderausgabe mit je einem doppelseitigen Foto für jedes Jahr. Hier wiederholte sich ein Muster, das schon die Jubiläumshefte von 1988, 1998 und 2018 erkennen ließen: Der „Stern“ wurde in der Geschichte seiner Anfangsjahre ein weiteres Mal in ein von den Schatten der nationalsozialistischen Vergangenheit befreites, weltoffenes Licht gerückt. Die Originalhefte ab 1948 geben jedoch eine sehr viel differenziertere Auskunft über Brüche und Kontinuitäten in der Magazingeschichte. In diesem Text soll, zwangsläufig ausschnitthaft, anhand verschiedener Beispiele aus dem Bildjournalismus eine quellengestützte Analyse der Illustrierten „Stern“, der behandelten Themen und gezeigten Fotografien aus der ersten Dekade ihres Erscheinens von 1948 bis 1959 erfolgen. Hierbei werden sowohl die personellen Kontinuitäten und ersten Umbrüche im generationellen Wechsel von Redakteuren und Fotografen als auch inhaltliche Bezüge der verwendeten Fotografien zum NS-Staat betrachtet. In Einzelfällen werden auch Vergleiche zu Konkurrenzblättern hinzugezogen, um zu einem abgewogenen Urteil in der Frage nach Ausnahme oder Regel hinsichtlich einer personellen und inhaltlichen NS-Kontinuität im bundesrepublikanischen (Bild-)Journalismus der 1950er Jahre zu kommen.

description: This paper investigates states’ commitment to human rights, democracy and rule of law through ratifying Council of Europe treaties. We present a first comprehensive analysis of ratifications of all 221 Council of Europe treaties that opened for ratification since 1949 among the 47 current member states. Applying a multilevel Cox regression, we observe a strong influence of external sources for states’ commitment and find evidence for both coercion and emulation mechanisms. First, upcoming EU membership is strongly and positively associated with treaty ratification, corroborating the relevance of accession conditionality in making countries to commit to human rights and democracy. Second, states are much more likely to ratify if a neighbouring country has ratified at the same time, which confirms a strong pattern of regional diffusion of rights acceptance in Europe. However, we find that this pattern of regional diffusion is stronger among states with lower levels of democracy, suggesting that emulation proceeds through mimicry. Finally, our analysis shows that Council of Europe treaty ratification is especially strong during the first years after treaty opening, suggesting that ratification reflects concerted efforts by states involved in the negotiation of regional treaties.

 Description. Forewings 1.8 times longer than wide, length about 5.6 mm. Colour stramineous to light brown. Forewings with four pairs of rounded black marks near hind margin, separated by a broad red band; a semicircular area in front of marks covered with white powder; rest of wing glassy, light yellow-brown, except for hyaline areas across base, between Ms1a and Ms2, between Ms2 and Ms3, in second costal cell, as well as before and after anterior apical cross-veins; a red mark around last subcostal sector; veins stramineous but apices of Cu1, Ms1a, Ms1b, and apical margin red. Hindwings colourless but apical cross-veins between Sc, R, and M lined with faint infuscation. Facial carinae contiguous up to lower level of eyes; subantennal processes and lateral carinae of pronotum well developed; rostrum reaching hind coxae. Forewings with costal margin and apical section of Sc nearly straight; Sc+R fork slightly before middle of wing; Ms1 branched at basal quarter, both branches nearly parallel; apical section of Ms1b connected to Cu1 by a crossvein, a triangle at base of Ms1. Male genitalia with pygofer narrow. Apical part of aedeagus spatulate, partly covered on the right side by a flat rounded lobe, which does not reach the apex.
 Etymology. The species name is a Latin noun (panthera = a leopard) used in apposition.
 Type material. Holotype ♂ (forewing 5.6 mm), PAPUA NEW GUINEA; labels: 1) Neth. Ind.-American/ New Guinea Exped./ Araucaria Camp 800m / 20 iii. 1939, L.J. Toxopena (RMNH). Paratype. PAPUA NEW GUINEA: NE, Finistere Range, Saidor: Matoko, 29.VIII – 5.IX.1958, 1 ♂ (fw. 5.6), W.W. Brandt (BPBM).
 Distribution. New Guinea.
 Diagnosis. Rhotana panthera resembles R. pavo (Bierman) from Sumatra and Borneo, as well as R. globosa sp. nov. and R. novahiberniensis sp. nov., both also from New Guinea. It can be easily distinguished from these by the contiguous facial carinae.

description: We have measured the current-voltage (I-V) of type II InAs/GaSb/InAs double heterojunctions (DHETs) with 'GaAs like' interface bonding and GaSb thickness between 0-1200 Å. A negative differential resistance (NDR) is observed for all DHETs with GaSb thickness $>$ 60 Åbelow which a dramatic change in the shape of the I-V and a marked hysteresis is observed. The temperature dependence of the I-V is found to be very strong below this critical GaSb thickness. The I-V characteristics of selected DHETs are also presented under hydrostatic pressures up to 11 kbar. Finally, a mid infra-red electroluminescence is observed at 1 bar with a threshold at the NDR valley bias. The band profile calculations presented in the analysis are markedly different to those given in the literature, and arise due to the positive charge that it is argued will build up in the GaSb layer under bias. We conclude that the dominant conduction mechanism in DHETs is most likely to arise out of an inelastic electron-heavy-hole interaction similar to that observed in single heterojunctions (SHETs) with 'GaAs like' interface bonding, and not out of resonant electron-light-hole tunnelling as proposed by Yu et al. A Zener tunnelling mechanism is shown to contribute to the background current beyond NDR.

title: Neural characteristics of reward and punishment learning for optimising decision-making
Creators: name: Westwood, Sean
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2025

description: Avoiding aversive or punishing outcomes is integral to the survival and function of an organism, and yet this specific dimension of learning has received comparatively little attention in comparison to its rewarding counterpart. There are a number of mechanistic theories and pathways implicated in each dimension, but as of yet there is limited consensus on a holistic model of punishment processing. They key contributions of this thesis are three-fold. First, I offer a novel insight into the role of a motivational salience signal in modulating different behaviours in rewarding and punishing contexts and make the claim that this is compatible with prominent existing mechanistic accounts of punishment learning. Second, I frame this effect with a prominent individual-difference focus, highlighting the importance of considering subject-specific sensitivities to reward and punishment when attempting to model this dichotomy. Third, I use the insights from the first two contributions to show the viability of using this paradigm as a potential means to improve task performance through a closed-loop brain-computer interface (BCI).

These contributions are made primarily from data from a reversal learning task conducted across rewarding and punishing blocks, with EEG and pupillometry as the primary measures of interest. In Chapter 2, I replicate a two-component paradigm from Philiastides et al., (2010) and Fouragnan et al. (2015) with the extension of a punishment condition. I show broad similarities in the EEG signatures, with some notable insights from pupillometry as to promising temporal signals to focus on for further investigation. In Chapter 3, I use these insights to test a motivational salience hypothesis, targeting specifically the earlier component in this two-component hypothesis. I show that individual differences in the sensitivity of this component to context can reliably track task performance. In Chapter 4, I delve further into these individual differences, focusing more specifically on reinforcement learning parameters and psychometric personality measures to better characterise performance effects from Chapter 3. In Chapter 5, I apply all of these findings in a tentative pseudo-BCI analysis, where I retroactively estimate performance and predict whether dynamic context switching might have led to improved behavioural outcomes.

Together, these findings offer new insights into the spatiotemporal characterisation of reward punishment differences and propose some tentative yet exciting future directions for the application of this in the performance optimisation domain.

description: Dentin Sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) is the major non-collagenous protein of dentin and plays a significant role in dentin mineralization. Recently, animal models lacking DSPP have been developed and the DSPP KO phenotype has been characterized at the histological level. Little is known, however, about the DSPP KO dentin at nano- and meso-scale. Dentin is a hierarchical material spanning from nano- to macroscale, hence information on the effects of DSPP deficiency at the submicron scale is essential for understanding of its role in dentin biomineralization. To bridge this gap, we have conducted ultrastructural studies of dentin from DSPP KO animals. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies of DSPP KO dentin revealed that although the overall ultrastructural organization was similar to the WT, the mineral particles were less organized. Scanning electron microscopy in the back-scattered mode (BS-SEM) of the DSPP KO dentin revealed that circumpulpal dentin comprises large areas of non-mineralized matrix, with numerous spherulitic mineralized inclusions, while the mantle dentin appeared largely unaffected. Analysis of the mineral distribution in the circumpulpal dentin of the DSPP KO mice suggests a reduction in the number of mineral nucleation sites and an increase in the nucleation barrier in DSPP KO dentin. These preliminary results indicate that in addition to the reduction of mineralized and total dentin volume in DSPP KO animals significant changes in the ultrastructural organization exist. These changes are likely related to the role of DSPP in the regulation of mineral formation and organization in dentin.

description: Nonlocal dispersion cancellation is generalized to frequency-entangled states with large photon number N. We show that the same entangled states can simultaneously exhibit a factor of 1/sqrt(N) reduction in noise below the classical shot noise limit in precise timing applications, as was previously suggested by Giovannetti, Lloyd and Maccone (Nature v412 (2001) p417). The quantum-mechanical noise reduction can be destroyed by a relatively small amount of uncompensated dispersion and entangled states of this kind have larger timing uncertainties than the corresponding classical states in that case. Similar results were obtained for correlated states, anti-correlated states, and frequency-entangled coherent states, which shows that these effects are a fundamental result of entanglement.

description: We report neutron diffraction measurements of the magnetic structures in two pyrochlore iridates, Yb2Ir2O7 and Lu2Ir2O7. Both samples exhibit the all-in-all-out magnetic structure on the Ir4+ sites below TN~ 150,K, with a low temperature moment of around 0.45 muB/Ir. Below 2\,K, the Yb moments in Yb2Ir2O7 begin to order ferromagnetically. However, even at 40 mK the ordered moment is only 0.57(3)muB/Yb, well below the saturated moment of the ground state doublet of Yb3+ (1.9 muB/Yb), deduced from magnetization measurements and from a refined model of the crystal field environment, and also significantly smaller than the ordered moment of Yb in Yb2Ti2O7 (0.9 muB/Yb). A mean-field analysis shows that the reduced moment on Yb is a consequence of enhanced phase competition caused by coupling to the all-in-all-out magnetic order on the Ir sublattice.

description: The generation of harmonics of the voltage response is considered when an AC current is applied through a superconducting film above T_c. It is shown that almost at all temperatures the mechanism of the temperature oscillations created by the AC current and the temperature dependence of the resistance dominates over the isothermal nonlinear electric conductivity. Only in a narrow critical region close to T_c the latter is essential for the generation of the harmonics. A detailed investigation of harmonics generation provides an accurate method for measuring the thermal boundary conductance between the film and the insulating substrate. The critical behaviour of the third harmonic will give a new method for the determination of the lifetime of metastable Cooper pairs above T_c. The comparison of the calculated fifth harmonics of the voltage with the experiment is proposed as an important test for the applicability of the employed theoretical models.

description: The soft-shell clam Mya arenaria is one of the most ancient invaders of European coasts and is present in many coastal ecosystems, yet little is known about its genetic structure in Europe. We collected 266 samples spanning a latitudinal cline from the Mediterranean to the North Sea and genotyped them at 12 microsatellite loci. In parallel, geometric morphometric analysis of shell outlines was used to test for associations between shell shape, latitude and genotype, and for a selection of shells we measured the thickness and organic content of the granular prismatic (PR), the crossed-lamellar (CL) and the complex crossed-lamellar (CCL) layers. Strong population structure was detected, with Bayesian cluster analysis identifying four groups located in the Mediterranean, Celtic Sea, along the continental coast of the North Sea and in Scotland. Multivariate analysis of shell shape uncovered a significant effect of collection site but no associations with any other variables. Shell thickness did not vary significantly with either latitude or genotype, although PR thickness and calcification were positively associated with latitude, while CCL thickness showed a negative association. Our study provides new insights into the population structure of this species and sheds light on factors influencing shell shape, thickness and microstructure.

description: We analyze the electric dipole moment of the electron ($d_e$), of the neutron ($d_n$) and of the muon ($d_μ$) using the cancellation mechanism in the presence of nonuniversalities of the soft breaking parameters. It is shown that the nonuniversalities in the slepton sector produce a strong violation of the scaling relation $d_μ/d_e\simeq m_μ/m_e$ in the cancellation region. An analysis of $d_e, d_n$ and $d_μ$ under the constraints of the current experimental limits on $d_e$ and $d_n$ and under the constraints of the recent Brookhaven result on $g_μ-2$ shows that in the non-scaling region $d_μ$ can be as large as ($10^{-24}-10^{-23}$)ecm and thus within reach of the recently proposed Brookhaven experiment for a sensitive search for $d_μ$ at the level of $10^{-24}$ ecm.

Rhotana papuensis

description: Rhotana papuensis Zelazny, sp. nov.
(Fig. 231)
 Description. Forewings 1.9 times longer than wide, length about 5.2 mm. Colour stramineous; margins of facial carinae and mesonotum light brown; a central longitudinal band on clypeus, sides of clypeus, and a faint mark in front of eyes orange-red; labium dark red; fore femora reddish, hind legs stramineous (middle legs missing in the only specimen available). Forewings glassy, but portions along Ms1 and Ms2 covered with white powder; infuscated, except for the following areas: the very base of forewings, a band from middle of first subcostal cell to middle of claval vein, triangular areas just before and just after anterior apical cross-veins, around apices of Cu1, Ms1a and Ms1b, and several small elongated marks in middle of forewings; an elongated, almost black area around the apical cross-veins between Cu, Cu1, Ms1a, Ms1b, and Ms2, veins in this mark narrowly lined with bright red colour; last subcostal sector surrounded by a small red mark; veins red, but most claval veins, apices of Sc+R, Cu1, Ms1a, Ms1b, Ms2 and 3rd subcostal sector colourless. Hindwings with faint infuscation near apical margin, part of hind margin, and around cross-veins between Sc, R, and M; most veins red. Facial carinae contiguous at their bases only; rostrum slightly surpassing hind coxae; subantennal processes and lateral carinae of pronotum well developed. Forewings with costal margin and Sc nearly straight; Sc+R fork near middle of forewings; Ms1 branched at apex of basal median cell, both branches nearly parallel; apical section of Ms1b connected to Cu1 by a cross-vein; a large triangle at base of Ms1. Pygofer of male genitalia with prominent, pointed, lateral projections. Apical part of aedeagus large, ending in two prominent pointed processes, the dorsal one curved to the right, the ventral one hook-like, directed ventrad.
 Etymology. Derived from Papua, the latinized species name (papuensis, -ensis, -ense) is an adjective.
 Type material. Holotype ♂ (forewing 5.2 mm), PAPUA NEW GUINEA; labels: 1) NEW GUINEA: PAPUA / Kokoda - Pitoki / 400m. III-23-1956 2) J.L. Gressitt / Collector (BPBM).
 Distribution. New Guinea (Papua).
 Diagnosis. Rhotana papuensis shows some similarities to R. pellax Fennah from Samoa and R. marmorata Zelazny from Indonesia and the Philippines. It can be distinguished from both by the absence of white dots on the forewings near the hind margin, by the prominent lateral projections of the male pygofer, and by the shape of the male aedeagus.

description: Are immigration policies in European countries converging? Or do some countries remain more open to immigrants than others? We address these questions through an analysis of labour migration policies in five European countries from 1990 to 2016. Using an original immigration policy index (ImPol) to measure policy restrictiveness we examine whether policies have converged, to what extent immigration regimes reflect distinct ‘varieties of capitalism’, and whether national policy trajectories are shaped by domestic politics. We find little evidence of convergence; mixed evidence that immigration policy regimes reflect capitalist diversity; and strong evidence that policies respond to changes in domestic political conditions. Whilst ‘varieties of capitalism’ may set the broad parameters for immigration regimes, the direction and timing of policy changes are determined by domestic political competition.

description: The aim of this study is to develop a semi-analytical method to investigate fluid-structure coupling of concentric double shells with different lengths and elastic behaviours. Co-axial shells constitute a cylindrical circular container and a baffle submerged inside the stored fluid. The container shell is made of functionally graded materials with mechanical properties changing through its thickness continuously. The baffle made of steel is fixed along its top edge and submerged inside fluid such that its lower edge freely moves. The developed approach is verified using a commercial finite element computer code. Although the model is presented for a specific case in the present work, it can be generalized to investigate coupling of shellplate structures via fluid. It is shown that the coupling between concentric shells occurs only when they vibrate in a same circumferential mode number, n. It is also revealed that the normalized vibration amplitude of the inner shell is about the same as that of the outer shell, for narrower radial gaps. Moreover, the natural frequencies of the fluid-coupled system gradually decrease and converge to the certain values as the gradient index increases.

Rhotana rubifasciata

description: Rhotana rubifasciata Zelazny, sp. nov.
(Fig. 233)
 Description. Forewings 1.8 times longer than wide, length 4.8–5.1 mm. Frons, clypeus, and hind margin of pronotum very faintly tinted with orange. Forewings near hindmargin with four pairs of black marks; most marks rounded but three marks elongated; the marks are separated by a broad red band; additional red stripes around last subcostal sector and at middle of Ms2; an area in front of black marks covered with white powder. Hindwings colourless. Male genitalia with aedeagus long and slender; stem near apical part with a small, rounded, ventral projection and widening just before apical part; the apical part has small lateral teeth and ends in two straight, pointed processes, the right one shorter.
 Note. Similar to Rhotana dextra sp. nov. The above description has been shortened, due to this similarity.
 Etymology. The species name is a Latin adjective (rubifasciatus, -a, -um = with a red stripe).
 Type material. Holotype ♂ (forewing 5.1 mm), PAPUA NEW GUINEA: NEW IRELAND; labels: 1) NEW IRELAND (SW)/ "Camp Bishop"/ 12 km up Kait R./ 240 m VII-7-1956 2) E.J. Ford, Jr./ Collector (BPBM). Paratype. PAPUA NEW GUINEA: NEW IRELAND (SW): Ridge above "Camp Bishop", 15 km up Kait R., 250–750 m, 13.VII.1956, 1 ♂ (fw. 4.8), E.J. Ford, Jr. (BPBM).
 Distribution. New Ireland.
 Diagnosis. Rhotana rubifasciata resembles closely R. dextra sp. nov., R. gracilis sp. nov., and R. aequa sp. nov. from New Britain and New Guinea. It can be distinguished from these by the faint orange markings on frons, clypeus and pronotum, as well as by the male aedeagus ending in two straight, pointed processes of unequal length.

description: Minimal supersymmetric SU(5) GUTs are being squeezed by the recent values of alpha_s, sin^2 theta_W, the lower limit on the lifetime for p to nubar K decay, and other experimental data. We show how the minimal flipped SU(5) GUT survives these perils, accommodating the experimental values of alpha_s and sin^2 theta_W and other constraints, while yielding a p to e/mu+ pi0 lifetime beyond the present experimental limit but potentially accessible to a further round of experiments. We exemplify our analysis using a set of benchmark supersymmetric scenarios proposed recently in a constrained MSSM framework.

description: We derive a data-driven method for the approximation of the Koopman generator called gEDMD, which can be regarded as a straightforward extension of EDMD (extended dynamic mode decomposition). This approach is applicable to deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems. It can be used for computing eigenvalues, eigenfunctions, and modes of the generator and for system identification. In addition to learning the governing equations of deterministic systems, which then reduces to SINDy (sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics), it is possible to identify the drift and diffusion terms of stochastic differential equations from data. Moreover, we apply gEDMD to derive coarse-grained models of high-dimensional systems, and also to determine efficient model predictive control strategies. We highlight relationships with other methods and demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed methods using several guiding examples and prototypical molecular dynamics problems.

Suicide

description: Abstract: Background: An emerging literature suggests that autistic adults are at increased risk of experiencing suicidal thoughts, making suicidal plans and attempts, and dying by suicide. However, few studies have investigated whether autistic traits are related to suicidal behaviour. The current study examined autistic traits in a sample of adults who reported at least one suicide attempt. Methods: An online questionnaire was advertised between June and September 2017 on suicide prevention websites, research databases, and social media. Participants reported whether they had ever attempted suicide (yes/no), and if so, how many times they had attempted (once/more than once). They also reported diagnosed and suspected mental health or neurodevelopmental conditions, and completed the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ). Two hundred forty-five adults accessed the survey; 132 reported having attempted suicide and also completed the AQ. It was hypothesised that AQ total scores and subscale scores would be higher in adults who had attempted suicide more than once compared to adults who had attempted once. These hypotheses were tested using an independent samples t test, Mann-Whitney U tests, and binary logistic regression. Results: Most participants were female (83.3%, male = 12.9%, other = 3.8%), and ages ranged from 18 to 65 (median = 36.00; IQR = 19.00). Total AQ scores, as well as communication and imagination subscale scores were significantly higher in adults who had attempted suicide more than once compared to adults who had attempted suicide once. Even after removing participants with diagnosed or suspected autism (n = 34), 40.6% had an AQ score indicative of clinical concern (≥ 26). Conclusions: The findings suggest that high levels of autistic traits may frequently be present in adults who have attempted suicide, and that AQ scores are higher in those with a history of more than one suicide attempt. It may be possible to better identify suicide risk by screening autistic adults with mental health conditions for suicidal thoughts and behaviours, and by screening people with suicidal thoughts and/or behaviours for autism.
