description: In this paper we consider an electron moving on a two dimensional noncommutative plane immersed in a constant magnetic field under the influence of an anisotropic harmonic potential. We work out the gauge invariant energy spectra of this system using a consistent gauge prescription proposed in \cite{nctori,gauge-wigfunc}. We also show subsequently that straightforward generalization of the Landau problem in the noncommutative setting using minimal coupling prescription as is done naively on many occasions in the literature violates gauge invariance of the energy spectra.

description: Among the compact objects observed in gravitational wave merger events a few have masses in the gap between the most massive neutron stars (NSs) and least massive black holes (BHs) known. Their nature and the formation of their merging binaries are not well understood. We report on pulsar timing observations using the Karoo Array Telescope (MeerKAT) of PSR J0514-4002E, an eccentric binary millisecond pulsar in the globular cluster NGC 1851 with a total binary mass of $3.887 \pm 0.004$ solar masses. The companion to the pulsar is a compact object and its mass (between $2.09$ and $2.71$ solar masses, 95% confidence interval) is in the mass gap, so it either is a very massive NS or a low-mass BH. We propose the companion was formed by a merger between two earlier NSs.

description: We revisit dark matter annihilation as an explanation of the positron excess reported recently by the AMS-02 satellite-borne experiment. To this end, we propose a particle dark matter model by considering a Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) extended with an additional singlet boson and a singlet fermion. The additional (light) boson mixes with the pseudoscalar inherent in the 2HDM, and the singlet fermion, which is the dark matter candidate, annihilates via this bosonic portal. The dark matter candidate is made leptophilic by choosing the lepton-specific 2HDM and a suitable high value of $\tanβ$. We identify the model parameter space which explains the muon g-2 anomaly while evading the experimental constraints. After establishing the viability of the singlet fermion to be a dark matter candidate, we calculate the positron excess produced from its annihilation to the light bosons which primarily decay to muons. Incorporating the Sommerfeld effect caused by the light mediator and an appropriate boost factor, we find that our proposed model can satisfactorily explain the positron fraction excess as well as the positron spectrum data reported by AMS-02 experiment.

description: Для проведения расчётов в процессе разработки низкочастотных гидроакустических преобразователей необходимы данные о физико-механических свойствах конструкционных материалов, таких как плотность, модуль Юнга, коэффициент Пуассона, предел прочности. Для изготовления излучающей оболочки (корпуса) преобразователя используется специфический материал, получаемый методом послойного лазерного сплавления. Параметры материала, изготовленного таким методом, зачастую существенно отличаются от табличных данных. В работе приведены результаты исследований физико-механических свойств титанового сплава Ti-6Al-4V, полученного методом послойного лазерного сплавления. Исследования проведены методом упругих волн и разрушающего воздействия. Результаты исследований используются для моделирования и расчёта параметров корпусов гидроакустических излучателей, выполняемых с помощью 3D печати из металлических порошков.
description: To carry out calculations in the development of low-frequency hydroacoustic transducers, data on the physical and mechanical properties of structural materials, such as density, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and ultimate strength, are required. For the manufacture of the emitting shell (body) of the transducer, specific material is used, obtained by the method of Selective Laser Melting (SLM). The material made by this technology often has parameters that differ significantly from the tabular data. The paper presents the results of studies of the physical and mechanical properties of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V, obtained by the SLM-method. The studies were carried out by the method of elastic waves and destructive action. The research results are used for modeling and calculating the parameters of hydroacoustic emitter housings, manufactured using 3D printing from metal powders.

Macrotera mellea

description: Macrotera (Macroterella) mellea (Timberlake, 1954)
[Holotype: UCRC; ♂ Picacho Pass, Arizona, USA; August 7, 1940]
Macrotera mellea is widely distributed in the northwestern deserts of Mexico. This species specializes on pollen from plants in the family Euphorbiaceae, specifically in the genus Euphorbia L. (Fowler 2020). It has been recorded in the Gulf Coast region of BCS and specimens are preserved in the CASC and BBSL (Timberlake 1954; Danforth 1996). We confirmed six specimens (4 ♀, 2 ♂) vouchered at CASC, of which five are paratypes collected in Canipole (3 ♀) and Coyote Cove (1 ♀, 1 ♂). See fig. 35.

description: We present MT-DNN, an open-source natural language understanding (NLU) toolkit that makes it easy for researchers and developers to train customized deep learning models. Built upon PyTorch and Transformers, MT-DNN is designed to facilitate rapid customization for a broad spectrum of NLU tasks, using a variety of objectives (classification, regression, structured prediction) and text encoders (e.g., RNNs, BERT, RoBERTa, UniLM). A unique feature of MT-DNN is its built-in support for robust and transferable learning using the adversarial multi-task learning paradigm. To enable efficient production deployment, MT-DNN supports multi-task knowledge distillation, which can substantially compress a deep neural model without significant performance drop. We demonstrate the effectiveness of MT-DNN on a wide range of NLU applications across general and biomedical domains. The software and pre-trained models will be publicly available at https://github.com/namisan/mt-dnn.

The aesthetics of existence: Nietzsche and Merleau-Ponty on the body
Creators: name: Beasley, Kevin Allen
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this paper is to appropriate Nietzsche and Merleau-Ponty's criticisms of metaphysical dualism to argue for an embodied account of human existence that is grounded aesthetically rather than morally. I begin with Nietzsche's criticism of metaphysical dualism as it relates to rationality and Christianity and demonstrate the limitation of these frameworks to account for human existence. I then buttress Nietzsche's criticism with Merleau-Ponty's embodied notion of consciousness to argue for a position that incorporates the existence of others in the notion of the self and argue that the rejection of traditional notions of human existence does not imply a denial of meaning and ethics but opens new paths in which these instances may be realized through embodied consciousness.

subject: bunching
subject: herding
subject: endogenous timing
subject: asymmetric equilibrium
subject: information externality

description: In this paper, we analyze the asymmetric pure strategy equilibria in a dynamic game of pure information externality. Each player receives a private signal and chooses whether and when to invest. In some of the periods, only a subgroup of the players make decisions, which we call bunching, while the rest of the players do not invest regardless of their signals. Bunching is di¤erent from herding; it occurs in the rst period and recursively until herd- ing takes place or the game runs out of undecided players. We nd that any asymmetric pure strategy equilibrium is more e¢ cient than the symmetric mixed strategy equilibrium. When players become patient enough, herding of investment disappears in the most e¢ cient asymmetric pure strategy equilibrium, while the least e¢ cient asymmetric pure strategy equilibrium resembles those in a xed timing model, producing an exact match when the discount factor is equal to 1. Bunch sizes are shown to be independent of the total num- ber of players; adding more players to the game need not change early playersbehavior. All these are unique properties of the asymmetric pure strategy equilibria. We also show that the asymmetric pure strategy equilibria can accommodate small heterogeneities of the players in costs of acquiring signals, discount factors, or degree of risk aversion. In any of these environments, there exists a unique welfare maximizing equilibrium which provides a natural way for the players to coordinate.

description: The CPT anomaly of certain chiral gauge theories has been established previously for flat multiply connected spacetime manifolds M of the type R^3 x S^1, where the noncontractible loops have a minimal length. In this article, we show that the CPT anomaly also occurs for manifolds where the noncontractible loops can be arbitrarily small. Our basic calculation is performed for a flat noncompact manifold with a single "puncture," namely M = R^2 x (R^2 {0}). A hypothetical spacetime foam might have many such punctures (or other structures with similar effects). Assuming the multiply connected structure of the foam to be time independent, we present a simple model for photon propagation, which generalizes the single-puncture result. This model leads to a modified dispersion law of the photon. Observations of high-energy photons (gamma-rays) from explosive extragalactic events can then be used to place an upper bound on the typical length scale of these punctures.

description: We investigate the asymptotic properties of higher-order binding corrections to the one-loop self-energy of excited states in atomic hydrogen. We evaluate the historically problematic A60 coefficient for all P states with principal quantum numbers n <= 7 and D states with n <= 8 and find that a satisfactory representation of the n-dependence of the coefficients requires a three-parameter fit. For the high-energy contribution to A60, we find exact formulas. The results obtained are relevant for the interpretation of high-precision laser spectrocopic measurements.

description: We derive the exact bifurcation diagram of the Duffing oscillator with parametric noise thanks to the analytical study of the associated Lyapunov exponent. When the fixed point is unstable for the underlying deterministic dynamics, we show that the system undergoes a noise-induced reentrant transition in a given range of parameters. The fixed point is stabilised when the amplitude of the noise belongs to a well-defined interval. Noisy oscillations are found outside that range, i.e., for both weaker and stronger noise.

description: This review summarizes and analyses information on freshwater crayfish introductions in Africa. A total of 136 research papers and reports were found to be relevant. Forty-eight percent reported presence; 21% described negative impacts; 11% referred to potential socio-economic benefits; 9% evaluated control measures; 6% documented co-introduced parasites. Out of nine introduced crayfish species, five species Astacus astacus, Cherax quadricarinatus, Faxonius limosus, Procambarus clarkii, and Procambarus virginalis have established populations in the wild. Astacus astacus and F. limosus are present only in Morocco and P. virginalis is limited to Madagascar. Cherax quadricarinatus and P. clarkii have established populations in five and six countries, respectively. The main driver of crayfish introductions was to provide socio-economic benefits through aquaculture and fisheries development but there is limited evidence of success. Prevailing negative socio-economic impacts are linked to damage to agricultural water infrastructure, damage to fishing gear and declining fisheries performance. Ecological impacts pertain to direct and multi-trophic consumptive effects as well as indirect competitive effects primarily upon macro-invertebrates and potential spillover of parasites to other decapods. Research priorities are determining abundance, distribution and spread of crayfishes and assessing ecological impact to inform management decisions.

description: We report measurements of magnetothermopower and magnetoresistivity as a function of temperature on RuSr2Gd1-xLaxCu2O8 (x = 0, 0.1). The normal-state thermopower shows a dramatic decrease after applying a magnetic field of 5 T, whereas the resistivity shows only a small change after applying the same field. Our results suggest that RuO2 layers are conducting and the magnetic field induced decrease of the overall thermopower is caused by the decrease of partial thermopower decrease associated with the spin entropy decrease of the carriers in the RuO2 layers.

description: By extending the concept of diffusion to the potential energy landscapes (PELs), we introduce the mean-squared energy difference (MSED) as a novel quantity to investigate the intrinsic properties of glass. MSED can provide a clear description of the "energy relaxation" process on a PEL. Through MSED analysis, we can obtain characteristic timescale similar to those from structure analysis, namely $τ_α^*$. We establish a connection between MSED and the properties of PELs, providing a concise and quantitative description of the PEL. We find that the roughness of the accessible PEL has changed significantly after the glass transition. And we also find that one of the PEL parameters is closely related to the Adam-Gibbs configurational entropy. The present research, which directly links the PEL to the relaxation process, provides avenues for further research of the glass.

 Hynda buqueti: Weise 1895:127.
 Hinda buqueti: Korschefsky 1931:177; Blackwelder 1945:446; Gordon 1987: 26.
 Diagnosis. Body oval­convex. Integument yellow with black spots on pronotum and elytra (Fig. 15). Base of pronotum with transversal black band having four projections extending anteriorly half length of pronotum, and with two apical trapezoidal spots. Scutellum black. Each elytrum with six maculae: the first small, round, over the humeral callous; the second through fourth positioned around the dorsal callus, approximately the same size but with the second largest, the second next to the suture, the third bellow the humeral callus, the fourth next to the external margin; the fifth and sixth in the posterior half of the elytron, the fifth being centrally located on the disc, the sixth being smaller and nearer the external margin. Elytra also with straight sutural stripe, the same color as the spots, extending from the scutellum to the elytral apex. Length 5.58 mm; width 4.33 mm.
 Male. Unknown.
 Female. Genital plate wide, pointed at apex, with one small style; spermatheca cylindrical, forming an arc with rounded cornus and small ramus. Last sternite with dense file of bristles along apical border (Fig. 25).
 Remarks. Hinda buqueti is the largest species in the genus. It, along with H. uncinata and H. terminata, has a yellow background integument, and the three of these have a similar geographic distribution in the Atlantic Costal Forest of Brazil.
 Type material. One specimen of H. buqueti, located in the BMNH has the following labels: [Type], [57–71], [Buqueti—Dej.— Brésil], [named by Musant]. Gordon (1987) indicated, with doubt, that the type material should be located in the Muséum Histoire Naturelle, Lyon. Mulsant (1850) in the original description of Cleothera buqueti wrote: ‘‘Patrie, Brésil (collect. Buquet, Dejean, Germar e Schaum).’’
 Material examined. Brasil: Santa Catarina, FCC 1057, one specimen (DZUP); one specimen [Type] (BMNH); [Brazil] two specimens (BMNH); [Chevr.] two specimens (BMNH).

description: A simple model allows us to study the nonclassical behavior of slowly moving atoms interacting with a quantized field. Atom and field become entangled and their joint state can be identified as a mesoscopic "Schroedinger-cat". By introducing appropriate observables for atom and field and by analyzing correlations between them based on a Bell-type inequality we can show the corresponding nonclassical behavior.

description: In this study we explain the cross section variability of intrastates income inequality which is measured by the Gird Index. The explanatory variables are the conventional ones which represent sociodemographic factors and the variance of human capital. The latter is measured by the Gini Index of years of school completed by the population 25 years and older. We estimate the model for four cross sections 1950, 1960, 1970 and 1980. We found that correcting for heteroskedasticity which is generated by the state and year effects on the variance of the random error improves the results significantly.

description: This review summarizes and analyses information on freshwater crayfish introductions in Africa. A total of 136 research papers and reports were found to be relevant. Forty-eight percent reported presence; 21% described negative impacts; 11% referred to potential socio-economic benefits; 9% evaluated control measures; 6% documented co-introduced parasites. Out of nine introduced crayfish species, five species Astacus astacus, Cherax quadricarinatus, Faxonius limosus, Procambarus clarkii, and Procambarus virginalis have established populations in the wild. Astacus astacus and F. limosus are present only in Morocco and P. virginalis is limited to Madagascar. Cherax quadricarinatus and P. clarkii have established populations in five and six countries, respectively. The main driver of crayfish introductions was to provide socio-economic benefits through aquaculture and fisheries development but there is limited evidence of success. Prevailing negative socio-economic impacts are linked to damage to agricultural water infrastructure, damage to fishing gear and declining fisheries performance. Ecological impacts pertain to direct and multi-trophic consumptive effects as well as indirect competitive effects primarily upon macro-invertebrates and potential spillover of parasites to other decapods. Research priorities are determining abundance, distribution and spread of crayfishes and assessing ecological impact to inform management decisions.
Density waves in the shearing sheet IV. Interaction with a live dark halo
Creators: name: Fuchs, B.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: It is shown that if the self-gravitating shearing sheet, a model of a patch of a galactic disk, is embedded in a live dark halo, this has a strong effect on the dynamics of density waves in the sheet. I describe how the density waves and the halo interact via halo particles either on orbits in resonance with the wave or on non-resonant orbits. Contrary to expectation the presence of the halo leads to a very considerable enhancement of the amplitudes of the density waves in the shearing sheet. This effect appears to be the equivalent of the recently reported enhanced growth of bars in numerically simulated stellar disks embedded in live dark halos. Finally I discuss the transfer of linear momentum from a density wave in the sheet to the halo and show that it is mediated only by halo particles on resonant orbits.

mismatch

description: Despite policy relevance, a persistent challenge remains in the ability to empirically measure skills mismatch. Via exploratory and descriptive data analysis using EU Labour Force Survey data, this paper analyses the possibility to develop, at the European level, a more disaggregated approach for an “objective” skills mismatch indicator. The analysis also exploits two novel features of the data – a subjective self-assessment of skills (mis)match as well as a distinction of individuals with medium-level vocational qualifications. The findings include indications that 1-in-4 of tertiary education graduate may be at risk of potential over-qualification; a seemingly good match between medium-level vocational qualifications and jobs in high-skilled ISCO-3 (“Technicians”) occupational group; a low skills match among holders of medium medium-level general orientation qualifications across all occupational groups and a low skills match across all young adults working in jobs belonging to ISCO-8 (“Operators”) occupational group. The conclusions of the paper point to the possible utility of refining the existing “objective” skills mismatch indicator(s) for cross-national analysis.

description: A common problem in physics and engineering is the calculation of the minima of energy functionals. The theory of Sobolev gradients provides an efficient method for seeking the critical points of such a functional. We apply the method to functionals describing coarse-grained Ginzburg-Landau models commonly used in pattern formation and ordering processes.

description: Data imbalance is a major problem that affects several machine learning (ML) algorithms. Such a problem is troublesome because most of the ML algorithms attempt to optimize a loss function that does not take into account the data imbalance. Accordingly, the ML algorithm simply generates a trivial model that is biased toward predicting the most frequent class in the training data. In the case of histopathologic images (HIs), both low-level and high-level data augmentation (DA) techniques still present performance issues when applied in the presence of inter-patient variability; whence the model tends to learn color representations, which is related to the staining process. In this paper, we propose a novel approach capable of not only augmenting HI dataset but also distributing the inter-patient variability by means of image blending using the Gaussian-Laplacian pyramid. The proposed approach consists of finding the Gaussian pyramids of two images of different patients and finding the Laplacian pyramids thereof. Afterwards, the left-half side and the right-half side of different HIs are joined in each level of the Laplacian pyramid, and from the joint pyramids, the original image is reconstructed. This composition combines the stain variation of two patients, avoiding that color differences mislead the learning process. Experimental results on the BreakHis dataset have shown promising gains vis-a-vis the majority of DA techniques presented in the literature.

The aesthetics of existence: Nietzsche and Merleau-Ponty on the body

description: The purpose of this paper is to appropriate Nietzsche and Merleau-Ponty's criticisms of metaphysical dualism to argue for an embodied account of human existence that is grounded aesthetically rather than morally. I begin with Nietzsche's criticism of metaphysical dualism as it relates to rationality and Christianity and demonstrate the limitation of these frameworks to account for human existence. I then buttress Nietzsche's criticism with Merleau-Ponty's embodied notion of consciousness to argue for a position that incorporates the existence of others in the notion of the self and argue that the rejection of traditional notions of human existence does not imply a denial of meaning and ethics but opens new paths in which these instances may be realized through embodied consciousness.
Relativistic wave and Green's functions for hydrogen--like ions

description: The \textsc{Greens} library is presented which provides a set of C++ procedures for the computation of the (radial) Coulomb wave and Green's functions. Both, the nonrelativistic as well as relativistic representations of these functions are supported by the library. However, while the wave functions are implemented for all, the bound and free--electron states, the Green's functions are provided only for bound--state energies $(E < 0$). Apart from the Coulomb functions, moreover, the implementation of several special functions, such as the Kummer and Whittaker functions of the first and second kind, as well as a few utility procedures may help the user with the set--up and evaluation of matrix elements.

description: The concentration of acetaldehyde presence in various priced bottles, $3.00 - $25.00, of Sauvignon Blanc was studied to determine whether the price of the wine could be correlated with the concentration of acetaldehyde present in the wine. A direct injection technique for measuring acetaldehyde was developed using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. Direct injection of Sauvignon Blanc wine samples, some expensive and some not, that were produced by various wineries, did not detect the presence of acetaldehyde using this method. A correlation between the price of the wine and the quality could not be established because acetaldehyde was not detected in any of the samples.
