 IRAN • 1 ♀; West-Azarbaijan Province, Urmia, Hesar-e Türkmän; 37º26′ N, 45º13′ E; 1293 m a.s.l.; Apr. 2017; Y. Karimpour leg.; ex Phragmites australis; HMIM.   Remarks
Our specimen fits well the description given by Claridge (1958), but the head exhibits a faint metallicgreen tinge (Fig. 3A, C). Body mainly rufo-fuscous (Fig. 3A), funicle with three white segments, F6 black (Fig. 3B); mesonotum entirely greenish; fore wings mainly fuscous except basally and distally (Fig. 3D); propodeum and abdomen dark with blue-green reflections; scape approximately 5× as long as wide, funiclar segments almost quadrate, club slightly widened, truncate apically (Fig. 3B); scutellar ‘hair-brush’ well developed (Fig. 3C); gaster short, as long as thorax.
 This species is widely distributed in the Palaearctic region (Noyes 2020) and in Iran (Fallahzadeh & Japoshvili 2010). Cheiloneurus paralia is a parasitoid of different mealybug families (Asterolecaniidae Cockerell, 1896, Cerococcidae Balachowsky, 1942, Coccidae Stephens, 1829, Eriococcidae Cockerell 1899, Kermesidae Kosztarab, 1996 and Pseudococcidae) on Poaceae such as Festuca rubra L. (Claridge 1958; Noyes 2020). Therefore, it may be associated with a pseudococcid species on P. australis. It has been reported on Peliococcus kimmericus (Kiritshenko, 1940) on Lactuca serriola L. (Asteraceae) in Iran (Fallahzadeh et al. 2006).

description: Il faut aimer les films « qui font peur », à la poétique et à la mise en scène parfois approximatives, pour apprécier ces films d’horreur espagnols des années 70. Nous nous situons volontairement aux confins de l’histoire culturelle – à savoir, comprendre comment fonctionne un objet à un moment donné – et de l’analyse sémiologique – disséquer une esthétique et évaluer l’apport spécifique du cinéma d’Ossorio dans un système plus vaste, le fantastique de terreur. Quelques scènes clefs nous guideront dans cette étude. Le cinéma d’Amando de Ossorio se situe dans le courant du fantaterror des années 70 et de son explosion, que Jean-Claude Seguin situe dans la continuation des « Sous-genres du cinéma espagnol » des années 1962-1969, période de films plutôt comiques ou chantés. Mais l’Espagne, « qui n’a pas de tradition fantastique » et ne fut pas encouragée par le régime moralement conservateur de Franco, ne put s’asseoir sur un grand studio spécialisé comme la Universal aux Etats-Unis ou la Hammer en Angleterre. Le régime franquiste, qui se doutait du potentiel subversif et du retour du refoulé contre le pouvoir et la société bourgeoise que recelait ce genre de films, craignait peut-être que ces images fort peu consensuelles d’une société en décomposition ne donnent des idées de meurtre horribles aux jeunes gens.

description: This paper investigates the effect of government-provided crop insurance on farm failure rates. By exploiting random variation in weather and the Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994, which mandated crop insurance coverage for the first time, I employ two natural experiments that identify the causal effect of disaster relief on farm failure rates. I examine the survival smoothing contribution of crop insurance by looking at the relative effect of disaster relief across two regimes, pre- and post-1994. Prior to 1994 ad hoc, ex post disaster payments were the primary form of disaster relief. Shortly after the 1994 Act virtually all disaster relief came through crop insurance indemnities. I find that disaster relief in the form of ad hoc disaster payments slightly reduces the average farm failure rate, while average farm failure rates increase under the crop insurance regime. The relative effect suggests that farm failure rates increase by 1.7 percentage points (about 30-percent) under the crop insurance regime. Excessively generous ad hoc disaster payments and moral hazard provide possible explanations for these findings. These findings suggest that government-provided crop insurance plays an important role in farmer risk management.

description: Bacillus subtilis biofilms were grown in laminar channel flow at wall shear stress spanning one order of magnitude ($τ_w = 0.068$ Pa to $τ_w = 0.67$ Pa). We monitor, non-invasively, the evolution of the three-dimensional distribution of biofilm over seven days using optical coherence tomography (OCT). The obtained biofilms consist of many microcolonies where the characteristic colony has a base structure in the form of a leaning pillar and a streamer in the form of a thin filament that originates near the tip of the pillar. While the shape, size and distribution of these microcolonies depend on the imposed shear stress, the same structural features appear consistently for all shear stress values. The formation of streamers seems to occur after the development of a base structure, suggesting that the latter induces a curved secondary flow that triggers the formation of the streamers. Moreover, we observe that the biofilm volume grows approximately linearly over seven days for all the shear stress values, with a growth rate that is inversely proportional to the wall shear stress. We develop a simple model of friction-limited growth, which agrees with the experimental observations. The model provides physical insight into growth mechanisms and can be used to develop accurate continuum models of bacterial biofilm growth.

description: High resolution spectroscopy (HRS) has been used to detect a number of species in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters. Key to such detections is accurately and precisely modelled spectra for cross-correlation against the R$\gtrsim$20,000 observations. There is a need for the latest generation of opacities which form the basis for high signal-to-noise detections using such spectra. In this study we present and make publicly available cross sections for six molecular species, H$_2$O, CO, HCN, CH$_4$, NH$_3$ and CO$_2$ using the latest line lists most suitable for low- and high-resolution spectroscopy. We focus on the infrared (0.95-5~$μ$m) and between 500-1500~K where these species have strong spectral signatures. We generate these cross sections on a grid of pressures and temperatures typical for the photospheres of super Earth, warm Neptunes and hot Jupiters using the latest H$_2$ and He pressure broadening. We highlight the most prominent infrared spectral features by modelling three representative exoplanets, GJ~1214~b, GJ~3470~b and HD~189733~b, which encompass a wide range in temperature, mass and radii. In addition, we verify the line lists for H$_2$O, CO and HCN with previous high resolution observations of hot Jupiters. However, we are unable to detect CH$_4$ with our new cross sections from HRS observations of HD~102195~b. These high accuracy opacities are critical for atmospheric detections with HRS and will be continually updated as new data becomes available.

description: We present some cosmological solutions of Brans-Dicke theory, characterized by a decaying vacuum energy density and by a constant relative matter density. With these features, they shed light on the cosmological constant problems, leading to a presently small vacuum term, and to a constant ratio between the vacuum and matter energy densities. By fixing the only free parameter of our solutions, we obtain cosmological parameters in accordance with observations of the relative matter density, the universe age and redshift-distance relations.

Direct Iterative Reconstruction of Multiple Basis Material Images in Photon-counting Spectral CT

Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame

description: In this work, we perform direct material reconstruction from spectral CT data using a model based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) approach. Material concentrations are measured in volume fractions, whose total is constrained by a maximum of unity. A phantom containing a combination of 4 basis materials (water, iodine, gadolinium, calcium) was scanned using a photon-counting detector. Iodine and gadolinium were chosen because of their common use as contrast agents in CT imaging. Scan data was binned into 5 energy (keV) levels. Each energy bin in a calibration scan was reconstructed, allowing the linear attenuation coefficient of each material for every energy to be estimated by a least-squares fit to ground truth in the image domain. The resulting 5 × 4 matrix, for 5 energies and 4 materials, is incorporated into the forward model in direct reconstruction of the 4 basis material images with spatial and/or inter-material regularization. In reconstruction from a subsequent low-concentration scan, volume fractions within regions of interest (ROIs) are found to be close to the ground truth. This work is meant to lay the foundation for further work with phantoms including spatially coincident mixtures of contrast materials and/or contrast agents in widely varying concentrations, molecular imaging from animal scans, and eventually clinical applications.

description: CERN-LHC. A search is presented for photonic signatures motivated by generalised models of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking. This search makes use of $20.3{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC, and explores models dominated by both strong and electroweak production of supersymmetric partner states. Four experimental signatures incorporating an isolated photon and significant missing transverse momentum are explored. These signatures include events with an additional photon, lepton, $b$-quark jet, or jet activity not associated with any specific underlying quark flavor. No significant excess of events is observed above the Standard Model prediction and model-dependent 95% confidence-level exclusion limits are set.

description: The objective of this research is to begin exploring the welfare effects of new food product introductions and to determine whether such effects vary depending on the income classification of the customer base to which the products are introduced. In other words, when new products are introduced to both high- and low-income markets, is there a significant difference in estimated welfare effects that can be attributed to differences in consumer-base income levels? In an application involving new bottled juice introductions, we do, in fact, find notable differences in welfare effects accruing to different income-class cohorts. Our results provide important evidence of the need for an even greater understanding of new product welfare effects and how these effects vary across population groups and certain new product claims.

description: We report the performance of our newly introduced Ensemble Docking with Enhanced sampling of pocket Shape (EDES) protocol coupled to a template-based algorithm to generate near-native ligand conformations in the 2019 iteration of the Grand Challenge organized by the D3R consortium. Using either AutoDock4.2 or HADDOCK2.2 docking programs (each software in two variants of the protocol) our method generated native-like poses among the top 5 submitted for evaluation for most of the 20 targets with similar performances. The protein selected for GC4 was the human beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE-1), a transmembrane aspartic-acid protease. We identified at least one pose whose heavy-atoms RMSD was less than 2.5 Å from the native conformation for 16 (80%) and 17 (85%) of the twenty targets using AutoDock and HADDOCK, respectively. Dissecting the possible sources of errors revealed that: i) our EDES protocol (with minor modifications) was able to sample sub-ångstrom conformations for all 20 protein targets, reproducing the correct conformation of the binding site within ~1 Å RMSD; ii) as already shown by some of us in GC3, even in the presence of near-native protein structures, a proper selection of ligand conformers is crucial for the success of ensemble-docking calculations. Importantly, our approach performed best among the protocols exploiting only structural information of the apo protein to generate conformations of the receptor for ensemble-docking calculations.

KG-oscillators in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity: Wu-Yang magnetic monopole and Ricci scalar curvature effects

description: We investigate the bosonic Klein-Gordon (KG) oscillators in a global monopole (GM) spacetime in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld (EiBI) gravity and a Wu-Yang magnetic monopole (WYMM). We discuss the gravitational effects in the presence of Ricci scalar curvature $R=R_{\upsilon }^{\upsilon }$. It is observed that the presence of the Ricci scalar curvature, effectively and manifestly, introduces a force field that makes the corresponding quantum mechanical repulsive core more repulsive. Similar effect is also observed for the EiBI-gravitational field. We reiterate and report that the corresponding bosonic KG-oscillator quantum mechanical system admits a solution in the form of confluent Heun functions, the truncation of which into a physically admissible polynomial is shown to be associated with some parametric correlations/conditions. The use of such conditions/correlations is mandatory and yields a set of allowed/restricted quantum mechanical orbital $\ell $-excitations, for all radial quantum numbers $n_{r}\geq 0$. Our procedure is shown to be quite handy, in the since that it allows one to retrieve results for KG-oscillators in GM-spacetime in different EiBI-gravity and Ricci scalar curvature settings.

description: In Germany agricultural land use is very heterogeneous with respect to management orientation and productivity even at local level. Also the rate of structural change shows a wide variation. While for a limited number of factors (e.g. farm size) a stable relation to structural change could be widely confirmed for different parts of Germany, the results for other indicators are contradictory. This holds especially for indicators describing to the marginality of a site. Many concerns related to structural change and development of land use intensity, e.g. abandonment of high nature value farmland, are only relevant in a very specific local context. Therefore, it is necessary to establish indicators for farm development on a disaggregated level. This paper evaluates the stability of the relation between a set of explanatory variables and the rate of structural change at different spatial scales. Our results indicate that only for a few variables (farm size, gross margin per ha, stocking density and productive orientation of the local stock) a generally valid link between them and the rate of structural change can be established. For the majority of the explanatory variables, their respective impact on structural change depends on the regional context.

description: Community detection in multi-layer networks is a crucial problem in network analysis. In this paper, we analyze the performance of two spectral clustering algorithms for community detection within the framework of the multi-layer degree-corrected stochastic block model (MLDCSBM) framework. One algorithm is based on the sum of adjacency matrices, while the other utilizes the debiased sum of squared adjacency matrices. We also provide their accelerated versions through subsampling to handle large-scale multi-layer networks. We establish consistency results for community detection of the two proposed methods under MLDCSBM as the size of the network and/or the number of layers increases. Our theorems demonstrate the advantages of utilizing multiple layers for community detection. Our analysis also indicates that spectral clustering with the debiased sum of squared adjacency matrices is generally superior to spectral clustering with the sum of adjacency matrices. Furthermore, we provide a strategy to estimate the number of communities in multi-layer networks by maximizing the averaged modularity. Substantial numerical simulations demonstrate the superiority of our algorithm employing the debiased sum of squared adjacency matrices over existing methods for community detection in multi-layer networks, the high computational efficiency of our accelerated algorithms for large-scale multi-layer networks, and the high accuracy of our strategy in estimating the number of communities. Finally, the analysis of several real-world multi-layer networks yields meaningful insights.

description: Communities adjacent to forest are faced with a challenge of balancing their labour allocation decisions to the different household activities. This study was done around Kakamega forest in Western Kenya and examined empirically the factors influencing households’ labour allocation to agriculture, forest and non-farm activities. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a random sample of 140 households, on household characteristics and key policy parameters affecting labour allocation. A labour share model similar to standard models of commodity or factor demand was used in estimation. The study findings indicate that wage returns on each activity positively influence labour allocation. Additionally education level of household head has a negative influence on forest and non-farm labour shares while positive on agriculture labour share. Other factors like size of landholding and family size all affect household labour allocation decision. These findings have implications for the type of policies needed to support improved labour supply decisions in the rural sector. Investment in livelihood activities in the rural set-up would largely draw much labour to this sector, hence reduced pressure in the forest ecosystems.
A novel method for metal recovery from zinc & lead slags
Creators: name: Zhang, Yanjun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Conventional zinc fuming from lead blast furnace slags cannot continue when zinc and lead contents are below 1.5-2.5 wt.% and 0.1-0.5 wt.% respectively, because of solid iron formation, which also causes the formation of accretions, foaming of slag, and contamination of the fume. A new method, electroreduction, was developed in a previous study to recover the heavy metals zinc, lead, indium and germanium from final zinc fumer slag. A series of experiments was also conducted in this study using two types of fumer slag from COMINCO. Zinc content was 4.5wt% in one slag and 1.5wt% in another slag. Experimental data indicated that about 50% of the zinc and most of the lead could be removed from both slags by 90 minute of electrorefining. Following the work on the fumer slags, a study was conducted on the potential to reduce lead and zinc directly from COMINCO's Kivcet slag (containing about 16 wt% zinc and 10 wt% lead) and potentially obviate the need for slag fuming. Metal recovery from the Kivcet slag was examined using the three methods used for the fumer slag study: holding at temperature to allow the divalent iron to reduce the metal ions into the gas phase; equilibration with a copper "getter"; and electroreduction into a liquid copper cathode using a graphite anode. The presence of metallic lead and carbon in the Kivcet slag has a significant influence on the recovery of metal from the slag in subsequent processing. Holding of the slag at temperature permitted the recovery of much of the metallic lead as vapor and some small recovery of zinc as fume. When copper was used as a getter, more zinc and lead were recovered. In electrorefining, lead recovery was much higher than that in equilibrating with copper, but there was no obvious enhancement in zinc recovery. A series of experiments were also conducted in which the Kivcet slag was treated to remove some of the zinc and the lead and then was electro-refined three times. Zinc and lead contents in the final slag decreased to 5.9% and 0.3% respectively. Although most of the lead was recovered, further refining would still be required to capture the remaining zinc metal.

description: Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is one of the most contagious animal diseases. Because of the easy transfer between animals, FMD is of importance to the domestic market, but also to international agricultural trade. Infected countries are often confronted with rigorous measures implemented by their trading partners. The guidelines set out by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) define the waiting period after which a country that experienced an FMD epidemic can be declared as free of the disease for international trade purposes. In order to minimize the duration of this period, infected developed countries have often implemented mass slaughter strategies. The aim of the paper is to examine the impact of alternative control strategies on the domestic market of the infected country and on international markets. To this end, synergies between two modeling systems have been exploited: the OECD’s Aglink-Cosimo model and the GTAP model. This study provides insight on the impact of FMD and alternative control practices and shows how the two models can be combined to provide quantitative estimates for a broad range of economic indicators.

description: A new class of photocurrents is predicted to occur in both type-I and type-II Weyl semimetals. Unlike the previously studied photocurrents in chiral materials, the proposed current requires neither circularly polarized light, nor an absence of symmetry with respect to a plane of reflection. We show that if a Weyl semimetal has a broken inversion symmetry then linearly polarized light can induce a photocurrent transverse to the direction of an applied magnetic field, in spite of the symmetry with respect to a reflection plane and the time reversal symmetry. The class of materials in which we expect this to occur is sufficiently broad and includes the transition metal monopnictides such as TaAs. The effect stems from the dynamics of Weyl chiral quasi-particles in a magnetic field, restricted by the symmetries described above; because the resulting current is transverse to the direction of magnetic field, we call it the transverse chiral magnetic photocurrent. The magnitude of the resulting photocurrent is predicted to be significant in the THz frequency range, about $0.75\; \mathrm{μA}$ for type-I and $2.5\; \mathrm{μA}$ for type-II Weyl semimetals. This opens the possibility to utilize the predicted transverse chiral magnetic photocurrent for sensing unpolarized THz radiation.

description: We discuss the impact of the present-day uncertainties in the recently released CHAMP and/or GRACE Earth gravity models on the measurement of the Lense-Thirring effect with the nodes of the LAGEOS satellites. Also the role of the secular variations Jdots of the even zonal harmonics is quantitatively assessed via numerical simulations and tests. While the systematic error due to the static part of the geopotential ranges from 4% (EIGEN-GRACE02S) to 9% (GGM02S), the impact of the Jdots amounts to 13% over 11 years. This yields a 19% 1-sigma total error in the test recently performed with EIGEN-GRACE02S.

description: We explain the existence of a smooth $HP^2$-bundle over $S^4$ whose total space has nontrivial $\hat{A}$-genus. Combined with an argument going back to Hitchin, this answers a question of Schick and implies that the space of Riemannian metrics of positive sectional curvature on a closed manifold can have nontrivial higher rational homotopy groups.

description: Development literature has recently promoted the use of producer organization in linking farmers to better-paying commodity markets. However, empirical studies find mixed performance of such organizations. This study examines the producer organization’s internal factors that may explain the differences in the performance of producer organizations. It specifically analyzes the role of social capital in a producer organization on the performance of such organization using quantitative techniques. As hypothesized, this study finds that social capital positively affects the performance of producer organizations. The implication of these findings is that development strategies that target commercialization of smallholder agriculture through producer organizations must pay attention to the internal factors within such organizations.
A Field Theory Study of Entanglement Wedge Cross Section: Odd Entropy

description: We study odd entanglement entropy (odd entropy in short), a candidate of measure for mixed states holographically dual to the entanglement wedge cross section, in two-dimensional free scalar field theories. Our study is restricted to Gaussian states of scale-invariant theories as well as their finite temperature generalizations, for which we show that the odd entropy is a well-defined measure for mixed states. Motivated from holographic results, the difference between odd and von Neumann entropy is also studied. In particular, we show that large amounts of quantum correlations ensure the odd entropy to be larger than von Neumann entropy, which is qualitatively consistent with the holographic CFT. In general cases, we also find that this difference is not even a monotonic function with respect to size of (and distance between) subsystems.

The large volume of parameter space searched -- with respect to the possible star formation histories -- allows us to infer robust estimates and uncertainties for the stellar masses. The most interesting results are: (1) the transition from little or no dark matter in the inner regions (

description: We study the joint dynamics of the phase bias $ϕ$ and the propagating Majorana fermions of the edge modes in Josephson junctions containing 2D time-reversal invariant topological superconductors (TRITOPS). We consider TRITOPS-TRITOPS junctions, as well as junctions between topological and non-topological superconductors (TRITOPS-S). Both types of junctions are described by effective Dirac Hamiltonians with a $ϕ$-dependent mass. We analyze the effect of the phase fluctuations in the junction, as well as solitonic solutions of $ϕ$ generated by fluxons trapped in the junction. We show that these solitons generate a spatial-dependent mass with a sign change akin to the Jackiw-Rebbi model. This enables the formation of zero-energy fermionic states localized at the fluxon. For the TRITOPS-TRITOPS junction these consist of a Kramers pair of Majorana modes, while for the TRITOPS-S one, there is a single Majorana fermion. The localized bound states hybridize in soliton-antisoliton configurations. Depending on the occupation state, these modes generate an effective attraction or repulsion in the dynamics of the soliton-antisoliton collision.

description: The diffusive motion of charged particles in synthetic magnetic turbulence with different properties is investigated by using numerical simulations with unprecedented dynamical range, which allow us to ensure that both the inertial range and the long wavelength part of the turbulent spectrum are properly described. This is of particular importance in evaluating previous suggestions that parallel and perpendicular diffusion coefficients differ in their energy dependence, an assertion at odds with the many claims of universality of the $D_{\perp}$ and $D_{\parallel}$ as functions of particle energy. Cases with and without an ordered magnetic field are discussed. Results of the numerical simulations are compared with available theoretical models, for slab, slab/2D and isotropic turbulence. We find widespread evidence that universality is broken, and that the ratio $D_{\perp}/D_{\parallel}$ is not independent of energy. The implications of this finding for the physics of cosmic ray transport are discussed in depth.

The symplectic form associated to a singular Poisson algebra

description: Given an affine Poisson algebra, that is singular one may ask whether there is an associated symplectic form. In the smooth case the answer is obvious: for the symplectic form to exist the Poisson tensor has to be invertible. In the singular case, however, derivations do not form a projective module and the nondegeneracy condition is more subtle. For a symplectic singularity one may naively ask if there is indeed an analogue of a symplectic form. We examine an example of a symplectic singularity, namely the double cone, and show that here such a symplectic form exists. We use the naive de Rham complex of a Lie-Rinehart algebra. Our analysis of the double cone uses Gröbner bases calculations. We also give an alternative construction of the symplectic form that generalizes to categorical quotients of cotangent lifted representations of finite groups. We use the same formulas to construct a symplectic form on the simple cone, seen as a Poisson differential space and generalize the construction to linear symplectic orbifolds. We present useful auxiliary results that enable to explicitly determine generators for the module of derivations an affine variety. The latter may be understood as a differential space.
