description: Haematopota innominata Austen, 1920
 Haematopota innominata was described from Palestine based on one specimen (Austen 1920). However, Theodor (1965) collected 35 specimens from 12 different localities. This species seems to be endemic of Palestine (Theodor 1965).

description: Researches have shown that deep neural networks are vulnerable to malicious attacks, where adversarial images are created to trick a network into misclassification even if the images may give rise to totally different labels by human eyes. To make deep networks more robust to such attacks, many defense mechanisms have been proposed in the literature, some of which are quite effective for guarding against typical attacks. In this paper, we present a new black-box attack termed AdvFoolGen, which can generate attacking images from the same feature space as that of the natural images, so as to keep baffling the network even though state-of-the-art defense mechanisms have been applied. We systematically evaluate our model by comparing with well-established attack algorithms. Through experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our attack in the face of state-of-the-art defense techniques and unveil the potential reasons for its effectiveness through principled analysis. As such, AdvFoolGen contributes to understanding the vulnerability of deep networks from a new perspective and may, in turn, help in developing and evaluating new defense mechanisms.

description: It is often stated that human languages, as other biological systems, are shaped by cost-cutting pressures but, to what extent? Attempts to quantify the degree of optimality of languages by means of an optimality score have been scarce and focused mostly on English. Here we recast the problem of the optimality of the word order of a sentence as an optimization problem on a spatial network where the vertices are words, arcs indicate syntactic dependencies and the space is defined by the linear order of the words in the sentence. We introduce a new score to quantify the cognitive pressure to reduce the distance between linked words in a sentence. The analysis of sentences from 93 languages representing 19 linguistic families reveals that half of languages are optimized to a 70% or more. The score indicates that distances are not significantly reduced in a few languages and confirms two theoretical predictions, i.e. that longer sentences are more optimized and that distances are more likely to be longer than expected by chance in short sentences. We present a new hierarchical ranking of languages by their degree of optimization. The new score has implications for various fields of language research (dependency linguistics, typology, historical linguistics, clinical linguistics and cognitive science). Finally, the principles behind the design of the score have implications for network science.

description: Background:

Hand infections are a common clinical problem ranging from superficial to life- and limb-threatening conditions, necessitating prompt and appropriate management. The historical emphasis on surgical drainage, pioneered by figures like Kanavel based on detailed anatomical studies, remains a cornerstone of treatment for deep infections. Timely and anatomically informed surgical drainage remains the primary treatment for these deep infections, often combined with organism-specific antibiotics guided by culture results. This paper will explore the intricate interplay of hand anatomy, the evolving understanding of infection pathogenesis, and current surgical and antibiotic management strategies to optimize outcomes in patients with hand infections. We present the case of a 52-year-old male with a deep space hand infection treated with surgical drainage, intravenous antibiotics and irrigation, pointing the importance of appropriate treatment in the discussion and review of literature.

description: Haematopota minuscularia Austen, 1920
 Haematopota minuscularia is a Palearctic species, described from a single specimen caught near Jericho-Palestine (Austen 1920). According to Austen (1920), the species is tiny, superficially allied to minuscula Austen and innominata Austen. It can be distinguished from the mentioned forms by the shape of antennal first segment (Austen 1920). The species seems to be endemic of Palestine, but further investigation is needed.

description: Unsupervised learning methods for feature extraction are becoming more and more popular. We combine the popular contrastive learning method (prototypical contrastive learning) and the classic representation learning method (autoencoder) to design an unsupervised feature learning network for hyperspectral classification. Experiments have proved that our two proposed autoencoder networks have good feature learning capabilities by themselves, and the contrastive learning network we designed can better combine the features of the two to learn more representative features. As a result, our method surpasses other comparison methods in the hyperspectral classification experiments, including some supervised methods. Moreover, our method maintains a fast feature extraction speed than baseline methods. In addition, our method reduces the requirements for huge computing resources, separates feature extraction and contrastive learning, and allows more researchers to conduct research and experiments on unsupervised contrastive learning.

description: Haematopota pluvialis (Linnaeus, 1758)
 Haematopota pluvialis is a Palearctic species. It is widely distributed throughout Europe, where considered the commonest species of the family (Brightwell & Dransfield 2014). The occurrence of species in the Arab countries of the Middle East needs verification. Only recorded in Saudi Arabia by El-Hawagry et al. (2017). Females attack vigorously man and animals during all day even in the cloudy and showery weather (Chvála et al. 1972). Haematopota pluvialis shows high variation in antenna and abdomen ( Brightwell & Dransfield 2014). This species is known as a vector of tularemia and anthrax (Krinsky 1976).

description: It is a folklore conjecture that the Möbius function exhibits cancellation on shifted primes; that is, $\sum_{p\le X}μ(p+h) \ = \ o(π(X))$ as $X\to\infty$ for any fixed shift $h>0$. This appears in print at least since Hildebrand in 1989. We prove the conjecture on average for shifts $h\le H$, provided $\log H/\log\log X\to\infty$. We also obtain results for shifts of prime $k$-tuples, and for higher correlations of Möbius with von Mangoldt and divisor functions. Our argument combines sieve methods with a refinement of Matomäki, Radziwiłł, and Tao's work on an averaged form of Chowla's conjecture.

description: Given any symplectomorphism on $D^{2n} (n\geq 1)$ which is $C^{\infty}$ close to the identity, and any completely integrable Hamiltonian system $Φ^t_H$ in the proper dimension, we construct a $C^{\infty}$ perturbation of $H$ such that the resulting Hamiltonian flow contains a "local Poincaré section" that "realizes" the symplectomorphism. As a (motivating) application, we show that there are arbitrarily small perturbations of any completely integrable Hamiltonian system which are entropy non-expansive (and, in particular, exhibit hyperbolic behavior on a set of positive measure).

description: Forecasting complex dynamical phenomena in settings where only partial knowledge of their dynamics is available is a prevalent problem across various scientific fields. While purely data-driven approaches are arguably insufficient in this context, standard physical modeling based approaches tend to be over-simplistic, inducing non-negligible errors. In this work, we introduce the APHYNITY framework, a principled approach for augmenting incomplete physical dynamics described by differential equations with deep data-driven models. It consists in decomposing the dynamics into two components: a physical component accounting for the dynamics for which we have some prior knowledge, and a data-driven component accounting for errors of the physical model. The learning problem is carefully formulated such that the physical model explains as much of the data as possible, while the data-driven component only describes information that cannot be captured by the physical model, no more, no less. This not only provides the existence and uniqueness for this decomposition, but also ensures interpretability and benefits generalization. Experiments made on three important use cases, each representative of a different family of phenomena, i.e. reaction-diffusion equations, wave equations and the non-linear damped pendulum, show that APHYNITY can efficiently leverage approximate physical models to accurately forecast the evolution of the system and correctly identify relevant physical parameters.

description: State-of-the-art device-free localization systems infer presence and location of users based on received signal strength measurements of line-of-sight links in wireless networks. In this letter, we propose to enhance device-free localization systems by exploiting multipath propagation between the individual network nodes. Particularly indoors, wireless propagation channels are characterized by multipath propagation, i.e., received signals comprise multipath components due to reflection and scattering. Given prior information about the surrounding environment, e.g., a floor plan, the individual propagation paths of multipath components can be derived geometrically. Inherently, these propagation paths differ spatially from the line-of-sight propagation path and can be considered as additional links in the wireless network. This extended network determines the novel multipath-enhanced device-free localization system. Using theoretical performance bounds on the localization error, we show that including multipath components into device-free localization systems improves the overall localization performance and extends the effective observation area significantly.

description: We discuss Floquet engineering of dissipative molecular systems through periodic driving of an infrared-active vibrational transition, either directly or via a cavity mode. Following a polaron quantum Langevin equations approach, we derive correlation functions and stationary quantities showing strongly modified optical response of the infrared-dressed molecule. The coherent excitation of molecular vibrational modes, in combination with the modulation of electronic degrees of freedom due to vibronic coupling can lead to both enhanced vibronic coherence as well as control over vibrational sideband amplitudes. The additional coupling to an infrared cavity allows for the controlled suppression of undesired sidebands, an effect stemming from the Purcell enhancement of vibrational relaxation rates.

description: Online mobile advertising ecosystems provide advertising and analytics services that collect, aggregate, process, and trade a rich amount of consumers' personal data and carry out interest-based ad targeting, which raised serious privacy risks and growing trends of users feeling uncomfortable while using the internet services. In this paper, we address users' privacy concerns by developing an optimal dynamic optimisation cost-effective framework for preserving user privacy for profiling, ads-based inferencing, temporal apps usage behavioral patterns, and interest-based ad targeting. A major challenge in solving this dynamic model is the lack of knowledge of time-varying updates during the profiling process. We formulate a mixed-integer optimisation problem and develop an equivalent problem to show that the proposed algorithm does not require knowledge of time-varying updates in user behavior. Following, we develop an online control algorithm to solve the equivalent problem and overcome the difficulty of solving nonlinear programming by decomposing it into various cases and to achieve a trade-off between user privacy, cost, and targeted ads. We carry out extensive experimentations and demonstrate the proposed framework's applicability by implementing its critical components using POC (Proof Of Concept) `System App'. We compare the proposed framework with other privacy-protecting approaches and investigate whether it achieves better privacy and functionality for various performance parameters.

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the geometric properties of real hypersurfaces of D'Angelo infinite type in ${\mathbb C}^n$. In order to understand the situation of flatness of these hypersurfaces, it is natural to ask whether there exists a nonconstant holomorphic curve tangent to a given hypersurface to infinite order. A sufficient condition for this existence is given by using Newton polyhedra,which is an important concept in singularity theory. More precisely,equivalence conditions are given in the case of some model hypersurfaces.

description: A set of positive integers is primitive (or 1-primitive) if no member divides another. Erdős proved in 1935 that the weighted sum $\sum1/(n \log n)$ for $n$ ranging over a primitive set $A$ is universally bounded over all choices for $A$. In 1988 he asked if this universal bound is attained by the set of prime numbers. One source of difficulty in this conjecture is that $\sum n^{-λ}$ over a primitive set is maximized by the primes if and only if $λ$ is at least the critical exponent $τ_1 \approx 1.14$. A set is $k$-primitive if no member divides any product of up to $k$ other distinct members. One may similarly consider the critical exponent $τ_k$ for which the primes are maximal among $k$-primitive sets. In recent work the authors showed that $τ_2 < 0.8$, which directly implies the Erdős conjecture for 2-primitive sets. In this article we study the limiting behavior of the critical exponent, proving that $τ_k$ tends to zero as $k\to\infty$.

A Deep Multi-Level Attentive network for Multimodal Sentiment Analysis

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Multimedia (cs.MM)

description: Multimodal sentiment analysis has attracted increasing attention with broad application prospects. The existing methods focuses on single modality, which fails to capture the social media content for multiple modalities. Moreover, in multi-modal learning, most of the works have focused on simply combining the two modalities, without exploring the complicated correlations between them. This resulted in dissatisfying performance for multimodal sentiment classification. Motivated by the status quo, we propose a Deep Multi-Level Attentive network, which exploits the correlation between image and text modalities to improve multimodal learning. Specifically, we generate the bi-attentive visual map along the spatial and channel dimensions to magnify CNNs representation power. Then we model the correlation between the image regions and semantics of the word by extracting the textual features related to the bi-attentive visual features by applying semantic attention. Finally, self-attention is employed to automatically fetch the sentiment-rich multimodal features for the classification. We conduct extensive evaluations on four real-world datasets, namely, MVSA-Single, MVSA-Multiple, Flickr, and Getty Images, which verifies the superiority of our method.

description: Zoonotic diseases pose a significant threat to public health, agriculture, and wildlife conservation. These diseases are transmitted from animals to humans, primarily through wildlife and livestock. The intricate relationship between wildlife, livestock, and human populations facilitates the emergence and spread of zoonotic pathogens. Factors such as habitat destruction, climate change, and intensified agricultural practices further contribute to the risk of zoonotic spillover events. This review explores the roles of wildlife and livestock in the transmission of zoonotic diseases, the environmental and ecological factors that influence disease dynamics, and the public health implications of these diseases. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of effective surveillance and control strategies, advocating for a One Health approach that integrates veterinary, human, and environmental health perspectives. By understanding the complex interactions among wildlife, livestock, and human health, we can develop targeted interventions to mitigate the impact of zoonotic diseases and enhance global health security.

description: Orthogonal polynomials for the multivariate hypergeometric distribution are defined on lattices in polyhedral domains in $\RR^d$. Their structures are studied through a detailed analysis of classical Hahn polynomials with negative integer parameters. Factorization of the Hahn polynomials is explored and used to explain the relation between the index set of orthogonal polynomials and the lattice set in polyhedral domain. In the multivariate case, these constructions lead to nontrivial families of hypergeometric polynomials vanishing on lattice polyhedra. The generating functions and bispectral properties of the orthogonal polynomials are also discussed.

description: Environmental management optimizing a long-run objective is an ergodic control problem whose resolution can be achieved by solving an associated non-local Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation having an effective Hamiltonian. Focusing on sediment storage management as a modern engineering problem, we formulate, analyze, and compute a new ergodic control problem under discrete observations: a simple but non-trivial mathematical problem. We give optimality and comparison results of the corresponding HJB equation having unique non-smoothness and discontinuity. To numerically compute HJB equations, we propose a new fast-sweep method resorting to neither pseudo-time integration nor vanishing discount. The optimal policy and the effective Hamiltonian are then computed simultaneously. Convergence rate of numerical solutions is computationally analyzed. An advanced robust control counterpart where the dynamics involve uncertainties is also numerically considered.

Atylotus quadrifarius

description: Atylotus quadrifarius (Loew, 1874)
 Atylotus quadrifarius has Palearctic and Oriental affinity. It is distributed from Morocco through the North Mediterranean countries to southern Russia, the Near and Middle East to Central Asia (Chvála et al. 1972). It was recorded from Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine (Müller et al. 2011).
 The olfactory sensitivity of Atylotus quadrifarius and semiochemicals that affect vector-host interactions was investigated. The findings showed that Atylotus quadrifarius distinguishes the host by detecting and reacting to species-specific chemicals or specific ratios of ubiquitous molecules (Baldacchino et al. 2012, 2014). Identifying the chemical compounds that influence vector–host interactions should aid in controlling insects’ populations via pest management techniques (Pinto et al. 2012).

description: Consider $β> 1$ and $\lfloor β\rfloor$ its integer part. It is widely known that any real number $α\in \Bigl[0, \frac{\lfloor β\rfloor}{β- 1}\Bigr]$ can be represented in base $β$ using a development in series of the form $α= \sum_{n = 1}^\infty x_nβ^{-n}$, where $x = (x_n)_{n \geq 1}$ is a sequence taking values into the alphabet $\{0,\; ...\; ,\; \lfloor β\rfloor\}$. The so called $β$-shift, denoted by $Σ_β$, is given as the set of sequences such that all their iterates by the shift map are less than or equal to the quasi-greedy $β$-expansion of $1$. Fixing a Hölder continuous potential $A$, we show an explicit expression for the main eigenfunction of the Ruelle operator $ψ_A$, in order to obtain a natural extension to the bilateral $β$-shift of its corresponding Gibbs state $μ_A$. Our main goal here is to prove a first level large deviations principle for the family $(μ_{tA})_{t>1}$ with a rate function $I$ attaining its maximum value on the union of the supports of all the maximizing measures of $A$. The above is proved through a technique using the representation of $Σ_β$ and its bilateral extension $\widehat{Σ_β}$ in terms of the quasi-greedy $β$-expansion of $1$ and the so called involution kernel associated to the potential $A$.
Discrete Element Simulation of Tunnelling Rock Spoils Subjected to Direct Shear Tests for Back- Analysis of Jacking Forces

description: Pipe jacking is a preferred method for sustainable installations of buried infrastructure in urbanised areas. Jacking forces are a critical factor in the pipe jacking technique, governing the safety and success of such installations. Established mechanistic jacking force models rely on the constitutive behaviours of reconstituted rock spoil obtained from the geology surrounding the installed pipelines. From the current study,discrete element modelling has been successfully used to simulate the behaviours of the reconstituted rock spoil. Techniques were developed to capture the inter-particulate behaviours of the rock spoil. The derived constitutive properties were successfully applied to back-analyse the forces measured from pipe jacking cases.

description: Musculoskeletal models have the potential to improve diagnosis and optimize clinical treatment by predicting accurate outcomes on an individual basis. However, the subject-specific modeling of spinal alignment is often strongly simplified or is based on radiographic assessments, exposing subjects to unnecessary radiation. We therefore developed a novel skin marker-based approach for modeling subject-specific spinal alignment and evaluated its feasibility by comparing the predicted with the actual intervertebral joint (IVJ) locations/orientations (ground truth) using lateral-view radiographic images. Moreover, the predictive performance of the subject-specific models was evaluated by comparing the predicted L1/L2 spinal loads during various functional activities with in vivo measured data obtained from the OrthoLoad database. IVJ locations/orientations were predicted closer to ground truth as opposed to standard model scaling, with average location prediction errors of 0.99+/-0.68 cm on the frontal and 1.21+/-0.97 cm on the transverse axis as well as an average orientation prediction error of 4.74°+/-2.80°. Simulated spinal loads showed similar curve patterns but considerably larger values as compared to in vivo measured data. Differences in spinal loads between generic and subject-specific models become only apparent on an individual subject level. These results underline the feasibility of the proposed method and associated workflow for inter- and intra-subject investigations using musculoskeletal simulations. When implemented into standard model scaling workflows, it is expected to improve the accuracy of muscle activity and joint loading simulations, which is crucial for investigations of treatment effects or pathology-dependent deviations.

description: Solid–liquid equilibrium solubility of magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) is essential for designing and optimising the removal and recovery of magnesium (Mg) from standard zinc (Zn) hydrometallurgy systems via freeze crystallization. In this study, the solubility data of MgSO4 in ternary system MgSO4-H2SO4-H2O and quaternary system MgSO4-ZnSO4-H2SO4-H2O were determined in different zinc sulphate (ZnSO4) concentrations and sulphuric acid (H2SO4) concentrations through the isothermal equilibrium method within the temperature range from 263.15–293.15 K. The results indicated that the solubility of MgSO4 decreased with decreasing temperature and increasing concentrations of H2SO4 and ZnSO4. Furthermore, the modified Apelblat equation was applied to correlate the experimental solubility data, yielding results consistent with the experimental findings. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy SEM-EDS analysis results indicated that the main phases of the equilibrium solid consist of mixed crystallization products of Zn sulphate heptahydrate (MgSO4·7H2O) and Mg sulphate heptahydrate (ZnSO4·7H2O). The microstructure of the equilibrium solid was affected by the sulphate concentration.

description: Flow polytopes are an important class of polytopes in combinatorics whose lattice points and volumes have interesting properties and relations. The Chan-Robbins-Yuen (CRY) polytope is a flow polytope with normalized volume equal to the product of consecutive Catalan numbers. Zeilberger proved this by evaluating the Morris constant term identity, but no combinatorial proof is known. There is a refinement of this formula that splits the largest Catalan number into Narayana numbers, which Mészáros gave an interpretation as the volume of a collection of flow polytopes. We introduce a new refinement of the Morris identity with combinatorial interpretations both in terms of lattice points and volumes of flow polytopes. Our results generalize Mészáros's construction and a recent flow polytope interpretation of the Morris identity by Corteel-Kim-Mészáros. We prove the product formula of our refinement following the strategy of the Baldoni-Vergne proof of the Morris identity. Lastly, we study a symmetry of the Morris identity bijectively using the Danilov-Karzanov-Koshevoy triangulation of flow polytopes and a bijection of Mészáros-Morales-Striker.

description: Preservation of existing trees is one of the few tools available to communities seeking to maintain or increase tree canopy coverage. This study compared the knowledge and activities of builders in an urban locale with a strict tree preservation ordinance and rigorous enforcement against a rural locale with no tree preservation ordinance. Overall, there were more similarities than differences between the two groups though some of those differences are very important. Urban builders and rural builders scored a very similar average of correct responses on questions testing their knowledge: 63% and 65%, respectively. The major difference between urban and rural appears to be in activities as dictated by ordinance. Urban builders were more likely to consult tree preservation experts and use tree fence to create tree protection zones. The successful tree preservation outcomes in the urban community are likely a direct result of ordinance requirements and enforcement by the City Forester, not builders’ knowledge or their conscious decisions.
