description: Recommender systems have become ubiquitous in the past years. They solve the tyranny of choice problem faced by many users, and are utilized by many online businesses to drive engagement and sales. Besides other criticisms, like creating filter bubbles within social networks, recommender systems are often reproved for collecting considerable amounts of personal data. However, to personalize recommendations, personal information is fundamentally required. A recent distributed learning scheme called federated learning has made it possible to learn from personal user data without its central collection. Consequently, we present a recommender system for movie recommendations, which provides privacy and thus trustworthiness on multiple levels: First and foremost, it is trained using federated learning and thus, by its very nature, privacy-preserving, while still enabling users to benefit from global insights. Furthermore, a novel federated learning scheme, called FedQ, is employed, which not only addresses the problem of non-i.i.d.-ness and small local datasets, but also prevents input data reconstruction attacks by aggregating client updates early. Finally, to reduce the communication overhead, compression is applied, which significantly compresses the exchanged neural network parametrizations to a fraction of their original size. We conjecture that this may also improve data privacy through its lossy quantization stage.

(Figs 13–16, 27, 28, 36)
Type material. Holotype: male, 10. IV. 2019, parking lot of the main peak of Mt. Jianfengling, 108°52′34.2″E, 18°42′34.9″N, 954m, Hainan Province, P.R. China, leg. Jun-bo Tong (Coll. SCAU). Paratypes: 2 males, 2 females, same data as holotype (Coll. SCAU); 1 male, 4. IX. 2016, mountain resort in Mt. Jianfengling, Hainan Province, P.R. China, leg. Min Wang & Zhen-fu Huang (Coll. SCAU).
Diagnosis. Adults of B. tongi sp. nov. are very similar externally to those of B. bigamica, and can only be distinguished from the latter by the examination of genitalia. The male genitalia capsule of B. tongi is similar to that of B. bigamica, but can be distinguished by the longer and more robust basal saccular process and more robust medial costal process (whereas in B. bigamica the basal saccular process is shorter and narrower and the medial costal process is narrower basally). The aedeagus vesica structure of B. tongi sp. nov. differs from that of B. bigamica by the 2 nd medial diverticulum directed laterally and covered with more robust cornuti and an additional granulation area (in B. bigamica the 2 nd medial diverticulum is directed distally and covered with less robust cornuti and bears no granulation area); 3 rd medial diverticulum being more robust thoroughly with its basal section covered with larger cornuti, and the medial cornuti band extending from the base of vesica to the tip of the 2 nd medial diverticulum, U-shaped and the opening of it orients laterally (in B. bigamica the medial cornuti band extends from the tip of the 2 nd medial diverticulum to the top of the base of the 3 rd medial diverticulum, V-shaped, and the opening of it orients distally). The female genitalia of B. tongi sp. nov. differ conspicuously from those of B. bigamica by their much larger corpus bursae, broader sclerotized area of the posterior section of corpus bursae, and larger signum bursae.
Distribution. Currently only known from Mt. Jianfengling, Hainan Province, South China.
Etymology. The species is named after Mr. Jun-bo Tong (SCAU, China) who collected most part of the type series.

Chiton pusio Sowerby in Broderip & Sowerby, 1832: 105.
Detailed bibliography and synonymy in Kaas & Van Belle (1994: 67).
Size: Maximum length 21 mm (Kaas & Van Belle 1994). Body outline: Oval, rather elevated, dorsum subcarinated. Color: Usually olive­brown to blackish brown, with brighter spots. Valves: Rather solid; appear smooth (microgranulated) except for commarginal growth lines on terminal valves and lateral areas of intermediate valves; head valve less than semicircular, posteriorly widely V­shaped, slightly notched in middle; intermediate valves rectangular, posteriorly faintly convex on both sides of slightly protruding apex, lateral areas hardly raised; tail valve with mucro in anterior third, postmucronal slope nearly straight and rather steep. Articulamentum: Bluish white to greenish blue, sometimes with darker streaks in central part, apophyses subtrapezoidal and rather short, slit formula: 11–14 / 1 / 11, slit rays present in all valves, teeth sharp and rather smooth at outside. Perinotum: Dorsally covered with smooth, solid, imbricated scales obtusely pointed; ventral side with radial rows of opaque rectangular to elongate scales. Ctenidia (ZSM Moll 20040966; 12 mm body length): 25 holobranchial ctenidia on each side of foot, posterior ctenidia longer than anterior ones. Radula (12 mm specimen): about 3.2 mm in length; radula cartilage 1.6 mm in length; 87 teeth rows, 72 showing mineralized teeth. Central tooth slender, extended at its base, with simple roundish blade; first lateral tooth twice length of central one, leaf­shaped, second lateral tooth with bicuspid head, inner denticle longer than outer.
Material: Four specimens were collected at station 1, in a depth between 5 and 30 m and two additional specimens at station 4, between 5 and 20 m (see Table 1).
Distribution: Ischnochiton pusio occurs from Tumbes, Perú, southwards to the Atlantic coast of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. It is also known from offshore of the Chilean Juan Fernández Archipelago (Kaas & Van Belle 1994). According to Reid & Osorio (2000), I. pusio inhabits the underside of stones and other hard substrata from the intertidal zone down to 90 m, with a depth preference around 5–30 m in fjord areas. This is supported by our study and we speculate that Ischnochiton pusio is less tolerant of salinity fluctuations and therefore lives below the halocline.

Subjects: PCM, Latent heat storage, Thermal storage, Thermal management, solar energy storage

description: - Thermal energy storage (TES) systems are crucial for enhancing energy efficiency and enabling the integration of renewable energy sources. Phase Change Materials (PCM) is one of the most suitable materials for storing renewable energy. Phase change materials (PCMs) have emerged as an effective medium for TES due to their high energy density and ability to maintain nearly constant temperatures duringphase transitions. Latent heat storage using phase change materials has applications in many areas, including building energy thermal management, waste heat recovery, temperature control, smart data, battery thermal control, microelectronic temperature control, photovoltaic thermal applications, space and vehicles, thermal energy storage applications, and greenhouse temperature control. In this review, topics include an overview of phase change materials (PCMs), use of PCMs in energy storage, use of PCMs in heating and cooling of buildings, use of PCMs in vehicles, and battery thermal management.

description: Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is a hybrid algorithm for finding the minimum eigenvalue/vector of a given Hamiltonian by optimizing a parametrized quantum circuit (PQC) using a classical computer. Sequential optimization methods, which are often used in quantum circuit tensor networks, are popular for optimizing the parametrized gates of PQCs. This paper focuses on the case where the components to be optimized are single-qubit gates, in which the analytic optimization of a single-qubit gate is sequentially performed. The analytical solution is given by diagonalization of a matrix whose elements are computed from the expectation values of observables specified by a set of predetermined parameters which we call the parameter configurations. In this study, we first show that the optimization accuracy significantly depends on the choice of parameter configurations due to the statistical errors in the expectation values. We then identify a metric that quantifies the optimization accuracy of a parameter configuration for all possible statistical errors, named configuration overhead/cost or C-cost. We theoretically provide the lower bound of C-cost and show that, for the minimum size of parameter configurations, the lower bound is achieved if and only if the parameter configuration satisfies the so-called equiangular line condition. Finally, we provide numerical experiments demonstrating that the optimal parameter configuration exhibits the best result in several VQE problems. We hope that this general statistical methodology will enhance the efficacy of sequential optimization of PQCs for solving practical problems with near-term quantum devices.

Final 449 bp COI and 487 bp 16S sequences were obtained after removing ambiguous aligned sites and successfully used in reconstructing Maximum Likelihood (ML) trees of 16S (8 specimens) and COI (7 specimens), respectively (Fig. 47). In the 16S ML tree, species from the South China Sea divided into two subclades (Sub-Clades 01 and 02). Ophiurothamnus clausa, Ophiomoeris petalis sp. nov., Ophiomoeris sp., Ophiacantha aster sp. nov. and Ophioplinthaca plicata from the present study fell into Sub-Clade 01. Ophiacantha vorax, O. bathybia and Ophientrema scolopendrica from the present study fell into Sub-Clade 02. The genus Ophioplinthaca fell into a new interclade within Sub-Clade 01 (Inter-Clade 1B). Inter-Clade 1A consists of three different genera: Ophiacantha, Ophiomoeris and Ophiurothamnus. Ophientrema scolopendrica, Ophiacantha bathybia and O. vorax also fell into two interclades within Sub-Clade 02 (Inter-Clades 2A and 2B) (Fig. 47A).
The clades in the COI ML tree were grouped corresponding to the 16S ML tree. Therefore, all the species represented in the COI ML belong to the main Clade 02. Ophiurothamnus clausa and Ophioplinthaca plicata from the South China Sea fell into Sub-Clade 01. Ophiacantha vorax and Ophientrema scolopendrica from the South China Sea fell into Sub-Clade 02. The genus Ophioplinthaca fell into Inter-Clade 1B within Sub-Clade 01 (Fig. 47B). The topology of the two ML trees was slightly different from each other (Sub-Clade 01). Genetic distance values are provided in Suppl. file 7 and Suppl. file 8.

description: This paper presents medBERTde, a pre-trained German BERT model specifically designed for the German medical domain. The model has been trained on a large corpus of 4.7 Million German medical documents and has been shown to achieve new state-of-the-art performance on eight different medical benchmarks covering a wide range of disciplines and medical document types. In addition to evaluating the overall performance of the model, this paper also conducts a more in-depth analysis of its capabilities. We investigate the impact of data deduplication on the model's performance, as well as the potential benefits of using more efficient tokenization methods. Our results indicate that domain-specific models such as medBERTde are particularly useful for longer texts, and that deduplication of training data does not necessarily lead to improved performance. Furthermore, we found that efficient tokenization plays only a minor role in improving model performance, and attribute most of the improved performance to the large amount of training data. To encourage further research, the pre-trained model weights and new benchmarks based on radiological data are made publicly available for use by the scientific community.

Targeted Therapies for Maxillofacial Infections: Enhancing Complex  Treatment Effectiveness
Creators: name: Tukhtamisheva Nigora Orifjonovna
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Abstract Maxillofacial infections, characterized by their complex nature and potential for severe morbidity, require sophisticated and targeted therapeutic approaches. This study investigates the effectiveness of targeted therapies, including advanced antimicrobial agents, precise surgical techniques, and immunomodulatory interventions, within the context of complex treatment strategies for maxillofacial infections. Through a comprehensive review of current treatment protocols and an analysis of clinical outcomes from both retrospective and prospective patient cohorts, we evaluate the impact of these targeted approaches on reducing treatment failure, minimizing complications, and improving patient outcomes. The research highlights the critical role of accurate diagnostics, such as microbial identification and drug sensitivity testing, in guiding the selection of targeted antimicrobial therapies. Furthermore, the study explores the benefits of precision surgical techniques, such as minimally invasive procedures and image-guided surgery, and assesses the potential of immunomodulatory agents to enhance the body's response to infection. By integrating these findings, this paper offers evidence-based recommendations for a personalized approach to maxillofacial infection management, emphasizing the importance of tailoring complex treatment to individual patient needs and infection characteristics. The conclusions promote a shift towards more specific and effective therapies, ultimately contributing to better patient care and outcomes.
Goal-conditioned Offline Reinforcement Learning through State Space Partitioning

description: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) aims to infer sequential decision policies using only offline datasets. This is a particularly difficult setup, especially when learning to achieve multiple different goals or outcomes under a given scenario with only sparse rewards. For offline learning of goal-conditioned policies via supervised learning, previous work has shown that an advantage weighted log-likelihood loss guarantees monotonic policy improvement. In this work we argue that, despite its benefits, this approach is still insufficient to fully address the distribution shift and multi-modality problems. The latter is particularly severe in long-horizon tasks where finding a unique and optimal policy that goes from a state to the desired goal is challenging as there may be multiple and potentially conflicting solutions. To tackle these challenges, we propose a complementary advantage-based weighting scheme that introduces an additional source of inductive bias: given a value-based partitioning of the state space, the contribution of actions expected to lead to target regions that are easier to reach, compared to the final goal, is further increased. Empirically, we demonstrate that the proposed approach, Dual-Advantage Weighted Offline Goal-conditioned RL (DAWOG), outperforms several competing offline algorithms in commonly used benchmarks. Analytically, we offer a guarantee that the learnt policy is never worse than the underlying behaviour policy.

description: Pogonomyrmex laticeps -group
Workers in the P. laticeps -group are diagnosed by the following characters: (1) first gastral tergum lacking striae, (2) head broader than long, (3) interrugae on cephalic dorsum and dorsum of mesosoma smooth to moderately coriarious, weakly shining to shining (granulation and/or punctation absent) or rugae incised, interrugae about as wide as rugae, (4) superior propodeal spines well-developed, and (5) inferior propodeal spines poorly-developed or lacking. The mostly smooth interrugae appear to be the best character to diagnose P. laticeps and P. tinogasta. All three species have brachypterous queens, diagnosed by: (1) poorly-developed mesoscutum, its anterior margin barely surpassing the humeral shoulders of pronotum, (2) pronotum enlarged, and (2) in profile, the pronotum rises at an approximately 45o angle to meet the mesoscutum.

description: Eotetranychus Oudemans
Eotetranychus Oudemans, 1931: 224.
Type species: Trombidium tiliarium Hermann, 1804, by original designation (but erroneously referred to as Acarus telarius Linnaeus, 1758).
Short diagnosis (simplified from Seeman et al., 2017) for all stages unless stated.
Tribe Tetranychini (sensu Gutierrez 1985) with: opisthonotum with 12 pairs of setae (c1–3, d1–2, e1–2, f1–2, h1–3; n.b. h2–3 are usually posteroventral); dorsal body setae usually as long or longer than distance to bases of setae in next row; dorsal opisthosoma with mostly transverse striae, with some longitudinal striae laterally; two pairs of pseudanal setae (ps1–2; vs Palmanychus having only one pair); tarsus I with two pairs of adjacent duplex setae, usually approximately midway along segment (only one pair in larvae); empodium split into two sets of three proximoventral hairs, with proximal pair of hairs thicker than other two pairs (except often male tarsus I, and sometimes tarsus II, with proximoventral hairs reduced, partly fused and somewhat claw-like); male aedeagus variable in shape.
Remarks. Seeman et al. (2017) provided a thorough taxonomic history for Eotetranychus and related genera including: Mononychellus, Palmanychus, Platytetranychus and Schizotetranychus.
Species groups have been proposed by various authors (e.g. Pritchard & Baker 1955; Tuttle et al. 1976) and are distinguished using the following characters: (1) the orientation of striae on the genital flap and in the pregenital region (immediately anterior to genital flap); (2) the number of tactile setae on the tibia II, which ranges from 5–8 setae; (3) the shape of the aedeagus; (4) the shape of the distal portion of the peritremes; (5) the number of proximal tactile setae on tarsus I; (6) the length and shape of opisthosomal setae. In addition to the dimensions of the palp spinneret (suζ), these characters also represent the main variation between species in the Tetranychini.
