 Material examined
 Holotype male. Argentina: Salta, El Rey National Park, A ◦ La Sala, 2 March 1999, F. Romero col. (IML).
 Species description
 Male. Length of forewings 5.1 mm. Colouration of head and thorax light reddish brown, setal warts and abdomen stramineous. Forewing yellowish, with an oval pale macula parallel to the costal margin (pterostigma), and light brown stripes over transversal veins paler than that of S. peruana (Figure 5F). The colouration of the body and wings was observed in specimens preserved in alcohol.
Diameter of eye, in dorsal view, almost half of the interocular distance. Anterolateral process of sternum V as long as the sternum.
 Genitalia. Segment IX with anterolateral margin sinuous (Figure 1A). Tergum X, in dorsal view, deeply divided mesally, internal margin of each hemitergite straight with apex slightly curved to midline (Figure 1B); in lateral view with ventral margin almost straight and apex slightly upturned. Inferior appendages two-segmented, setose; basal segment narrow for a short distance proximally, from where it widens to the apex; apical segment narrow, short, rounded at tip (basal segment three times length of apical segment) (Figure 1A–C). Phallus long, tubular; basal portion broad, forming an angle of about 90 ◦ with the distal part; with dorsolateral retrorse paired processes (Figure 1D); in lateral view distal part with dorsolateral process directed dorsoanteriorly; endophallus dorsoventrally divergent (Figure 1E). Internal sclerite long and slender; in lateral view slightly sinuous and dorsoventrally divergent at the apex (Figure 1E).
 Female. Unknown.
 Systematic considerations
The male genitalia of this new species is different from the other species described in the genus. The divergent endophallus and internal sclerite are the main diagnostic characters of this species, and are unique in the genus.
 Etymology
The name of this species refers to the bifid apex of the phallus.

description: Although many astrophysical and cosmological observations point towards the existence of Dark Matter (DM), the nature of the DM particle has not been clarified to date. In this paper, we investigate a minimal model with a vector DM (VDM) candidate. Within this model, we compute the cross section for the scattering of the VDM particle with a nucleon. We provide the next-to-leading order (NLO) cross section for the direct detection of the DM particle. Subsequently, we study the phenomenological implications of the NLO corrections, in particular with respect to the sensitivity of the direct detection DM experiments. We further investigate more theoretical questions such as the gauge dependence of the results and the remaining theoretical uncertainties due to the applied approximations.

description: We report a tentative detection of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of WLM, an isolated, low-mass (log$M_*/M_\odot\approx7.6$), dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group (LG). We analyze an HST/COS archival spectrum of a quasar sightline (PHL2525), which is 45 kpc (0.5 virial radius) from WLM and close to the Magellanic Stream (MS). Along this sightline, two ion absorbers are detected in Si II, Si III, Si IV, C II, and C IV at velocities of $\sim$-220 km s$^{-1}$ (Component v-220) and $\sim$-150 km s$^{-1}$ (Component v-150). To identify their origins, we study the position-velocity alignment of the components with WLM and the nearby MS. Near the Magellanic longitude of PHL2525, the MS-related neutral and ionized gas moves at $\lesssim-190$ km s$^{-1}$, suggesting an MS origin for Component v-220, but not for Component v-150. Because PHL2525 passes near WLM and Component v-150 is close to WLM's systemic velocity ($\sim$-132 km s$^{-1}$), it is likely that Component v-150 arises from the galaxy's CGM. This results in a total Si mass in WLM's CGM of $M_{\rm Si}^{\rm CGM}\sim(0.2-1.0)\times10^5~M_\odot$ using assumption from other COS dwarf studies. Comparing $M_{\rm Si}^{\rm CGM}$ to the total Si mass synthesized in WLM over its lifetime ($\sim$1.3$\times10^5~M_\odot$), we find $\sim$3% is locked in stars, $\sim$6% in the ISM, $\sim$15%-77% in the CGM, and the rest ($\sim$14%-76%) is likely lost beyond the virial radius. Our finding resonates with other COS dwarf galaxy studies and theoretical predictions that low-mass galaxies can easily lose metals into their CGM due to stellar feedback and shallow gravitational potential.

description: Groundnuts play an integral role in the livelihoods of the majority of the Zambian population, particularly the rural households. The crop is produced by nearly half of the estimated 1.4 million rural smallholder households, making it the second largest, after maize, in terms of production volume and hectares cultivated. Approximately 8.8% of total land cultivated in Zambia is planted to groundnuts.

description: We study the Casimir energy due to a quantum real scalar field coupled to two planar, infinite, zero-width, parallel mirrors with non-homogeneous properties. These properties are represented, in the model we use, by scalar functions defined on each mirror's plane. Using the Gelfand-Yaglom's theorem, we construct a Lifshitz-like formula for the Casimir energy of such a system. Then we use it to evaluate the energy perturbatively, for the case of almost constant scalar functions, and also implementing a Derivative Expansion, under the assumption that the spatial dependence of the properties is sufficiently smooth. We point out that, in some particular cases, the Casimir interaction energy for non-planar perfect mirrors can be reproduced by inhomogeneities on planar mirrors.

description: We show that in order to account for the repulsive Casimir effect in the parallel plate geometry in terms of the quantum version of the Lorentz force, virtual surface densities of magnetic charges and currents must be introduced. The quantum version of the Lorentz force expressed in terms of the correlators of the electric and magnetic fields for planar geometries yields then correctly the Casimir pressure.

description: In the late 1990s, several governments in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) embarked on various market reforms to improve commodity market performance. The success of such market reforms depends partly on the strength of the transmission of price signals between spatially separated markets and between different levels of commodity value chains. This study takes a look at these issues through an analysis of coffee producer prices for Zambia and Tanzania.

 Holotype male. Argentina: Salta, Chicoana, Rio Chicoana, 29 February 2000 (IML).
 Paratypes. Same data as holotype: two males (IML).
 Species description
 Male. Length of forewings 6.1 mm. Colouration of head and thorax light reddish brown, setal warts, antennae, legs and abdomen stramineous. Forewing yellowish, with an oval pale macula parallel to the costal margin (pterostigma), and brown stripes over transversal veins with a transversal line at the mid-length of anastomosis of R. The colouration of the body and wings was observed in specimens preserved in alcohol.
Diameter of eye, in dorsal view, 2.3 times the interocular distance. Anterolateral process of sternum V about 1.5 times the length of the sternum.
 Genitalia. Segment IX with anterolateral margin angulated (Figure 1F). Tergum X, in dorsal view, deeply divided mesally with a V-shaped excision (Figure 1G); in lateral view with ventral margin almost straight and apex slightly upturned, dorsal area membranous (Figure 1F). Inferior appendages two-segmented, setose, basal segment broadened apically (four times the length of the apical portion); apical segment short, rounded at the tip (Figure 1F–H). Phallus long, tubular and curved; basal portion slightly broader; apical area with dorsal bifid process and ventral quadrangular membranous structure with internal folded membrane (endophallus partially exerted), internally with a dorsal sclerotized, pyriform plate (cleft meso-posteriorly) (Figure 1I,J); endophallus long and digitate. Internal sclerite sinuous in lateral view and slightly broadened in dorsal view (Figure 1I,J).
 Female. Unknown.
 Systematic considerations
 The male genitalia of this new species could be related to S. (R.) valeni sp. nov. because of the bifid dorsal process of phallus. The folded membrane in the apex of phallus and the sclerotized plate are the main diagnostic characters of S. (R.) elisae sp. nov.
 Etymology
This species is dedicated to Dr Elisa Beatriz Angrisano, researcher in Trichoptera from South America and director of the doctoral thesis of both authors.

description: Using ideas employed in higher dimensional gravity, non-expanding, weakly isolated and isolated horizons are introduced and analyzed in 2+1 dimensions. While the basic definitions can be taken over directly from higher dimensions, their consequences are somewhat different because of the peculiarities associated with 2+1 dimensions. Nonetheless, as in higher dimensions, we are able to: i) analyze the horizon geometry in detail; ii) introduce the notions of mass, charge and angular momentum of isolated horizons using geometric methods; and, iii) generalize the zeroth and the first laws of black hole mechanics. The Hamiltonian methods also provide, for the first time, expressions of total angular momentum and mass of charged, rotating black holes and their relation to the analogous quantities defined at the horizon. We also construct the analog of the Newman-Penrose framework in 2+1 dimensions which should be useful in a wide variety of problems in 2+1 dimensional gravity.

Parabolic maps with spin: Generic spectral statistics with non-mixing classical limit

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: We investigate quantised maps of the torus whose classical analogues are ergodic but not mixing. Their quantum spectral statistics shows non-generic behaviour, i.e.it does not follow random matrix theory (RMT). By coupling the map to a spin 1/2, which corresponds to changing the quantisation without altering the classical limit of the dynamics on the torus, we numerically observe a transition to RMT statistics. The results are interpreted in terms of semiclassical trace formulae for the maps with and without spin respectively. We thus have constructed quantum systems with non-mixing classical limit which show generic (i.e. RMT) spectral statistics. We also discuss the analogous situation for an almost integrable map, where we compare to Semi-Poissonian statistics.

description: The threat of attack faced by cyber-physical systems (CPSs), especially when they play a critical role in automating public infrastructure, has motivated research into a wide variety of attack defence mechanisms. Assessing their effectiveness is challenging, however, as realistic sets of attacks to test them against are not always available. In this paper, we propose smart fuzzing, an automated, machine learning guided technique for systematically finding 'test suites' of CPS network attacks, without requiring any knowledge of the system's control programs or physical processes. Our approach uses predictive machine learning models and metaheuristic search algorithms to guide the fuzzing of actuators so as to drive the CPS into different unsafe physical states. We demonstrate the efficacy of smart fuzzing by implementing it for two real-world CPS testbeds---a water purification plant and a water distribution system---finding attacks that drive them into 27 different unsafe states involving water flow, pressure, and tank levels, including six that were not covered by an established attack benchmark. Finally, we use our approach to test the effectiveness of an invariant-based defence system for the water treatment plant, finding two attacks that were not detected by its physical invariant checks, highlighting a potential weakness that could be exploited in certain conditions.

description: The 2012 harvest was, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock national food balance sheet estimates, a major surplus production season. However, by November the same year, Zambia started experiencing widespread maize meal shortages and skyrocketing maize meal prices. Responding to these shortages and price spikes, the government increased the price subsidies it provided on maize sold by the parastatal Food Reserve Agency (FRA) to large-scale maize mills and imposed de facto price controls on maize meal by threatening to revoke the business licenses of commercial maize mills if retail prices of a 25kg bag of maize meal exceeded kwacha rebased (KR) 50. Despite these efforts maize meal prices continued to rise, reaching as high as KR100 in some markets by February 2013.

description: In spite of its rather weird properties which include violation of the dominant-energy condition, the requirement of superluminal sound speed and increasing vacuum-energy density, phantom energy has recently attracted a lot of scientific and popular interests. In this letter it is shown that in the framework of a general k-essence model, vacuum-phantom energy leads to a cosmological scenario having negative sound speed and a big-rip singularity, where the field potential also blows up, which might occur at an almost arbitrarily near time in the future that can still be comfortably accommodated within current observational constraints.

Food Security and Poverty

description: In Zambia, as in most of Sub-Saharan Africa, rural poverty, food security, and farming are inextricably linked. While the livelihoods of nearly two thirds of Zambia’s population depend directly on their agricultural productivity, average yields have historically been low and soil fertility has been diminishing. Conservation Farming (CF) has shown promise of being a solution to these challenges after several years of adoption, yet the short-term yield effects are more variable. A better understanding of the immediate yield effects and their profitability relative to other techniques is necessary to determine if CF adoption is an effective and feasible way to increase agricultural productivity while sustainably building soil fertility.

description: Neonates do not have the ability to either articulate pain or communicate it non-verbally by pointing. The current clinical standard for assessing neonatal pain is intermittent and highly subjective. This discontinuity and subjectivity can lead to inconsistent assessment, and therefore, inadequate treatment. In this paper, we propose a multi-channel deep learning framework for assessing neonatal pain from videos. The proposed framework integrates information from two pain indicators or channels, namely facial expression and body movement, using convolutional neural network (CNN). It also integrates temporal information using a recurrent neural network (LSTM). The experimental results prove the efficiency and superiority of the proposed temporal and multi-channel framework as compared to existing similar methods.

description: We propose a method for calculating cohomology operations for finite simplicial complexes. Of course, there exist well--known methods for computing (co)homology groups, for example, the reduction algorithm consisting in reducing the matrices corresponding to the differential in each dimension to the Smith normal form, from which one can read off (co)homology groups of the complex, or the incremental algorithm (due to Edelsbrunner et al.) for computing Betti numbers. However, there is a gap in the literature concerning general methods for computing cohomology operations. For a given finite simplicial complex K, we sketch a procedure including the computation of some primary and secondary cohomology operations and the $A_{\infty}$--algebra structure on the cohomology of K. This method is based on the transcription of the reduction algorithm mentioned above, in terms of a special type of algebraic homotopy equivalences, called a contraction, of the (co)chain complex of K to a "minimal" (co)chain complex M(K). For instance, whenever the ground ring is a field or the (co)homology of K is free, then M(K) is isomorphic to the (co)homology of K. Combining this contraction with the combinatorial formulae for Steenrod reduced $p$th powers at cochain level developed in \cite{GR99} and \cite{Gon00}, these operations at cohomology level can be computed. Finally, a method for calculating Adem secondary cohomology operations $Φ_q: Ker(Sq^2H^q(K))\ra H^{q+3}(K)/Sq^2H^q(K)$ is showed.

title: The relationships between maladaptive personality traits and experiences in closerelationships
Creators: name: Almeida Costa da Silva, Luis
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2021

description: The proposed classification for Personality Disorders in section III of the DSM5conceptually differentiates impaired personality functioning (criterion A) from theoccurrence of maladaptive personality traits (criterion B). Criterion B offers analternative trait approach with five higher order domains (Negative Affectivity,Detachment, Antagonism, Disinhibition, and Psychoticism), and criterion A specifies anumber of problems common to all Personality Disorders, specifically impairments inself- and interpersonal functioning. This Thesis aimed to establish significantrelationships between personality pathology and experiences in close relationships. Toachieve this goal, the following aims were proposed: the examination of relationshipsbetween maladaptive personality and personality functioning; the exploration of thelinks between maladaptive personality and attachment; the investigation of the linksbetween maladaptive traits and relationship intimacy and satisfaction; and theexamination of the maladaptive personality traits among different samples. The firststudy showed that Personality Functioning and maladaptive personality are negativelyassociated, with the latter being a negative predictor of Personality Functioning,replicating and extending the findings of previous research. Two studies alsoestablished associations between maladaptive personality and attachment styles(anxious and avoidant), finding that personality pathology is positively associated withanxious and avoidant attachment, but can also predict these domains. Another studyaddressed the associations of satisfaction and intimacy in relationships, with resultsshowing how maladaptive personality can impact these. The last study inspected howthe severity of maladaptive personality differed across samples and examined howcombinations of traits and their severity are a helpful way to categorize distinct andmeaningful groups. These findings help to further understand the role of personalitypathology in the way it impacts experiences of close relationships, and to contribute tothe conceptualization and operationalization of personality pathology as proposed bythe DSM-5.

description: The problem of quantum metrology under the context of a particular non-Markovian quantum evolution is explored. We study the dynamics of the quantum Fisher information (QFI) of a composite quantum probe coupled to a Lorentzian environment, for a full variety of different classes of parameters. We are able to find the best metrological state which is not maximally entangled but is the one which evolves fastest. This is shown by evidencing a connection between QFI and different quantum speed limits. At the same time, by optimizing a control field acting over the probes, we show how the total information flow is actively manipulated by the control such as to enhance the parameter estimation at a given final evolution time. At last, under this controlled scenario, a sharp interplay between the dynamics of QFI, non-Markovianity, and entanglement is revealed within different control schemes.

Beitrag den religiösen Fundamentalismus als eine moderne gesellschaftliche
und kulturelle Erscheinung. Theologisch gesehen kann der Fundamentalismus
auch als eine patriarchale Protestbewegung betrachtet werden,
die die religiöse Tradition im Interesse der Machterhaltung missbraucht.
Die Orthodoxie nimmt im fundamentalistischen Konzept einen
besonderen Platz ein. Sie kann sich manchmal den Verhältnissen und
Bedürfnissen moderner europäischer Gesellschaften anpassen und ein
frauenfreundliches,
ja sogar demokratisches Gesicht zeigen. Diese Form
der Orthodoxie
wird im Artikel als Neo-Orthodoxie bezeichnet. Die Demokratie
in einer neo-orthodoxen Gemeinschaft ist aber nur eine scheinbare,
denn die wirkliche Macht konzentriert sich bei den Rabbinern, die
entscheiden, wieviel Freiheit den Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft und insbesondere
den Frauen zugestanden wird. Zurzeit scheinen der Einfluss der
jüdischen Neo-Orthodoxie
und somit die Gefahr des Durchbruchs des Fundamentalismus
in Ungarn zu steigen. Die nicht-orthodoxen jüdischen Gemeinschaften
sind dagegen nicht aktiv genug und beschäftigen sich wenig
mit der Stärkung ihrer eigenen jüdischen Identität.

description: The charge and spin sectors, which are intimately coupled to the fermionic one, of the t-t' Hubbard model have been computed self-consistently within the two-pole approximation. The relevant unknown correlators appearing in the causal bosonic propagators have been computed by enforcing the constraints dictated by the hydrodynamics and the algebra of the composite operators coming into play. The proposed scheme of approximation extends previous calculations made for the fermionic sector of the t-t' Hubbard model and the bosonic sector of the Hubbard model, which showed to be very effective to describe the overdoped region of cuprates (the former) and the magnetic response of their parent compounds (the latter).

We identify those nonleptonic decay channels in which the decay proceeds solely via the factorizing contribution precluding a contamination from $W$-exchange. We use the covariant confined quark model previously developed by us to calculate the various helicity amplitudes which describe the dynamics of the $1/2^+ \to 1/2^+$ and $1/2^+ \to 3/2^+$ transitions induced by the Cabibbo favored effective $(c \to s)$ and $(d \to u)$ currents. We then proceed to calculate the rates of the decays as well as polarization effects and angular decay distributions of the prominent decay chains resulting from the nonleptonic decays of the double heavy charm baryon parent states.

description: The formulae for Planck length, Hawking temperature and Unruh-Davies temperature are derived by using only laws of classical physics together with the Heisenberg principle. Besides, it is shown how the Hawking relation can be deduced from the Unruh relation by means of the principle of equivalence; the deep link between Hawking effect and Unruh effect is in this way clarified.

description: The Mixmaster solution to Einstein field equations was examined by C. Misner in an effort to better understand the dynamics of the early universe. We highlight the importance of the quantum version of this model for early universe. This quantum version and its semi-classical portraits are yielded through affine and standard coherent state quantizations and more generally affine and Weyl-Heisenberg covariant integral quantizations. The adiabatic and vibronic approximations widely used in molecular physics can be employed to qualitatively study the dynamics of the model on both quantum and semi-classical levels. Moreover, the semi-classical approach with the exact anisotropy potential can be effective in numerical integration of some solutions. Some promising physical features such as the singularity resolution, smooth bouncing, the excitation of anisotropic oscillations and a substantial amount of post-bounce inflation as the backreaction to the latter are pointed out. Finally, a realistic cosmological scenario based on the quantum mixmaster model, which includes the formation and evolution of local structures is outlined.

description: In this study, we examine how the probability of driving after a binge - drinking episode varies with the location of consumption and type of alcohol consumed. We also investigate the relationship between the location of alcohol purchase and the number of alcohol-related fatal motor vehicle crashes. We find that binge-drinkers are significantly more likely to drive after consuming alcohol at establishments that sell alcohol for on-premises consumption, e.g., from bars or restaurants, particularly after drinking beer. Further, per capita sales of alcohol for off-premises consumption are unrelated to the rate of alcohol- related fatal motor vehicle crashes . When disaggregating alcohol types, per capita sales of beer for off - premises consumption are negatively associated with the rate of alcohol-related fatal motor vehicle crashes. In contrast, total per capita sales of alcohol from all establishments (on- and off-premises) are positively related to the rate of alcohol-related fatal motor vehicle crashes and the magnitude of this relationship is strongest for beer sales. Thus, policies that shift consumption away from bars and restaurants could lead to a decline in the number of motor vehicle crashes.

description: Interplay of kinematic and magnetic forcing in a model of a conducting fluid with randomly driven magnetohydrodynamic equations has been studied in space dimensions $d\ge 2$ by means of the renormalization group. A perturbative expansion scheme, parameters of which are the deviation of the spatial dimension from two and the deviation of the exponent of the powerlike correlation function of random forcing from its critical value, has been used in one-loop approximation. Additional divergences have been taken into account which arise at two dimensions and have been inconsistently treated in earlier investigations of the model. It is shown that in spite of the additional divergences the kinetic fixed point associated with the Kolmogorov scaling regime remains stable for all space dimensions $d\ge 2$ for rapidly enough falling off correlations of the magnetic forcing. A scaling regime driven by thermal fluctuations of the velocity field has been identified and analyzed. The absence of a scaling regime near two dimensions driven by the fluctuations of the magnetic field has been confirmed. A new renormalization scheme has been put forward and numerically investigated to interpolate between the $ε$ expansion and the double expansion.

description: EFSA developed the “Pest survey card on Xylella fastidiosa” for the preparation of surveys with the aim of guiding the Member States in gathering information needed for designing statistically sound and risk-based surveys for this pest. Characterising the host plant population targeted by surveys provides an answer to where to perform survey activities. This is a major challenge for surveillance of X. fastidiosa as it can be hosted by about 600 different plant species, growing throughout the EU territory in a variety of environments. For assisting surveyors in their preparatory tasks, the target population can be structured and subdivided in epidemiological units, in which the probability of infection by the bacterium is homogeneous. For this purpose, the “Host plant selection tool” built within the pest survey card provides guidance on the selection of host plants, allocating them in four categories of land use: agricultural, urban, forest and other areas. Rationales are also provided with the purpose of meeting the objectives of the surveys, such as the susceptibility of infection by multiple X. fastidiosa subspecies, the susceptibility of feeding by insect vectors, and the expression of symptoms, since some host species undergo an asymptomatic period. In addition, to prepare a risk-based survey, the target population can be subdivided based on the risk of introduction of X. fastidiosa in an area or on the risk of infection of some host plant species. The risk factors can be introduced in the survey design to better target the survey efforts. An accurate characterisation of the target population using the proposed methodology will help surveyors to design robust statistically sound and risk-based surveys for X. fastidiosa.
