LECTOTYPE: Gender not known. Here designated. Type locality: Colombie (MNHN). CORPORAAL 1950: 99. It is not known how many specimens were available to Pic. He did not select a holotype, therefore, I invoke Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999) and designate a lectotype for this nominal species.
D i a g n o s i s: The stout spine at the apex of the prothoracic tibia will distinguish the members of this species.
R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 22.0 mm; width 6.0 mm. Form: As in Fig. 128. Head: Frons wider than length of antennal pedicel; EW/FW 95/55. Thorax: Pronotum finely punctate, with 2 tumescenses (PW/PL 240/315); elytral disc sculptured with circular, asetiferous punctures that are not seriate, they extend slightly beyond elytral 1/2, elytral apex bispinous (EL/EW 1,020 /200); prothoracic tibial apex with stout spine; metathoracic femur gradually increasing in diameter to femoral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus as in Fig. 42.
V a r i a t i o n: The available specimens are quite homogeneous.
D i s t r i b u t i o n (Fig. 89): In addition to the lectotype, I examined 2 specimens from: Colombia: No other information available. Specimens are deposited in MNHN and WOPC.

description: The electronic structure of noble-gas solids is calculated within density functional theory's exact-exchange method (EXX) and compared with the results from the local-density approximation (LDA). It is shown that the EXX method does not reproduce the fundamental energy gaps as well as has been reported for semiconductors. However, the EXX-Kohn-Sham energy gaps for these materials reproduce about 80 % of the experimental optical gaps. The structural properties of noble-gas solids are described by the EXX method as poorly as by the LDA one. This is due to missing Van der Waals interactions in both, LDA and EXX functionals.

description: Active Learning techniques are used to tackle learning problems where obtaining training labels is costly. In this work we use Meta-Active Learning to learn to select a subset of samples from a pool of unsupervised input for further annotation. This scenario is called Static Pool-based Meta- Active Learning. We propose to extend existing approaches by performing the selection in a manner that, unlike previous works, can handle the selection of each sample based on the whole selected subset.

description: The problem of finding a holographic CFT dual to string theory on AdS(3)xS(3)xS(3)xS(1) is examined in depth. This background supports a large N=4 superconformal symmetry. While in some respects similar to the familiar small N=4 systems on AdS(3)xS(3)xK3 and AdS(3)xS(3)xT4, there are important qualitative differences. Using an analog of the elliptic genus for large N=4 theories we rule out all extant proposals -- in their simplest form -- for a holographic duality to supergravity at generic values of the background fluxes. Modifications of these extant proposals and other possible duals are discussed.

Consider the diagonal G action on the product $M \times G$ with the metric g+g_G. In this paper we calculate the formula for the metric h on the quotient space $(M \times G) / G$; the map from g to h is the metric transformation. In particular when g is the hyperbolic metric on H^2 and G=S^1, the transformed metric h is Hamilton's cigar soliton metric studied in the Ricci flow.

description: The inflationary attractor properties of the canonical scalar field and Born-Infeld field are investigated in the Randall-Sundrum II scenario with a Gauss-Bonnet term in the bulk action. We find that the inflationary attractor property will always hold for both the canonical and Born-Infeld fields for any allowed non-negative Gauss-Bonnet coupling. We also briefly discuss the possibility of explaining the suppressed lower multiples and running scalar spectral index simultaneously in the scenario of Gauss-Bonnet brane inflation.

Foraging decisions of a native whelk, Nucella cingulata and the effects of invasive mussel species on prey choice

description: Invasive species are considered one of the top threats to global biodiversity altering native habitat structure and functioning in a number of natural systems. The open coast along the west part of South Africa has been invaded by two mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and Semimytilus algosus. These species have altered the native species composition causing declines the native population of ribbed mussel Aulacomya atra and several other species. The alteration of mussel species composition on the shore has altered prey availability to native predators such as the dogwhelk Nucella cingulata. The overarching aims of this study were to determine the foraging behaviour of the native whelk and how a shift in species composition towards invasive mussel species has altered the whelks prey preference. Foraging behaviour was analysed to determine if prey selection by whelks was based on chemical cues (y-maze testing), tactile responses, (simultaneous prey presentation) or energy content gains (bomb calorimetry). Whelks did not show preference towards any particular mussel species when prey choice was made using chemical cues. This method of prey selection reflects the turbidity of wave exposed rocky-shore habitats where such cues would be unreliable. Prey selection during simultaneous presentations indicated a strong preference towards the two invasive mussel species with the invasive species being consumed more often than the native mussels. There was, however, no preference between both mussel species when presented simultaneously. Energy content did not vary between the three mussel species, therefore other variables must play a role during prey selection. The introduction of invasive mussel species has unmistakably altered native communities along South Africa’s coastline not only in structure, but also in functioning with regards to species interactions. It is therefore important to keep in mind these interactions during decisions regarding management and removals of these mussel species for sound conservation of native biodiversity and the complex interactions that are maintained.

description: Trade and marketing reforms are influencing wheat production and consumption in Brazil, and increasing wheat import demand. This report describes the relative importance of factors that influence wheat import decisions, with particular attention to the role of quality in the choice of import supplier. Net import price was found to be the most important determinant in the import decision, based on interviews with Brazilian importers and millers. Several quality factors were also identified as important, primarily protein, gluten, moisture, and nonmillable materials. Among wheat suppliers, Argentina ranked best for price, while Canada and the United States ranked highest for quality. The survey results also suggest that lower levels of dockage and nonmillable materials would expand U.S. exports to Brazil, but not as strongly as would the General Sales Manager Credit Guarantee program.
An Anderson Impurity Model for Efficient Sampling of Adiabatic Potential Energy Surfaces of Transition Metal Complexes

description: We present a model intended for rapid sampling of ground and excited state potential energy surfaces for first-row transition metal active sites. The method is computationally inexpensive and is suited for dynamics simulations where (1) adiabatic states are required "on-the-fly" and (2) the primary source of the electronic coupling between the diabatic states is the perturbative spin-orbit interaction among the 3d electrons. The model Hamiltonian we develop is a variant of the Anderson impurity model and achieves efficiency through a physically motivated basis set reduction based on the large value of the d-d Coulomb interaction U_{d} and a Lanczos matrix diagonalization routine to solve for eigenvalues. The model parameters are constrained by fits to the partial density of states (PDOS) obtained from ab initio density functional theory calculations. For a particular application of our model we focus on electron-transfer occuring between cobalt ions solvated by ammonium, incorporating configuration interaction between multiplet states for both metal ions. We demonstrate the capability of the method to efficiently calculate adiabatic potential energy surfaces and the electronic coupling factor we have calculated compares well to previous calculations and experiment.

Photoluminescence spectrum of an interacting two-dimensional electron gas at ν=1

description: We report on the theoretical photoluminescence spectrum of the interacting two-dimensional electron gas at filling factor one (ν=1). We considered a model similar to the one adopted to study the X-ray spectra of metals and solved it analytically using the bosonization method previously developed for the two-dimensional electron gas at ν=1. We calculated the emission spectra of the right and the left circularly polarized radiations for the situations where the distance between the two-dimensional electron gas and the valence band hole are smaller and greater than the magnetic length. For the former, we showed that the polarized photoluminescence spectra can be understood as the recombination of the so-called excitonic state with the valence band hole whereas, for the latter, the observed emission spectra can be related to the recombination of a state formed by a spin down electron bound to n spin waves. This state seems to be a good description for the quantum Hall skyrmion.

description: We present and discuss photometric optical data in the area of the OB association Sco OB1 covering about 1 squared degree. UBVI photometry is employed in tandem with Gaia DR2 data to investigate the 3 dimensional structure and the star formation history of the region. By combining parallaxes and proper motions we identify 7 physical groups located between the young open cluster NGC 6231 and the bright nebula IC4628. The most prominent group coincides with the sparse open cluster Trumpler 24. We confirm the presence of the intermediate age star cluster VdB-Hagen 202, which is unexpected in this environment, and provide for the first time estimates of its fundamental parameters. After assessing individual groups membership, we derive mean proper motion components, distances, and ages. The seven groups belong to two different families. To the younger family (family I) belong several pre-Main Sequence stars as well. These are evenly spread across the field, and also in front of VdB-Hagen 202. VdB-Hagen 202 and two smaller, slightly detached, groups of similar properties form family II, which do not belong to the association, but are caught in the act of passing through it. As for the younger population, this forms an arc-like structure from the bright nebula IC 4628 down to NGC 6231, as previously found. Moreover, the pre-Main Sequence stars density seems to increase from NGC 6231 northward to Trumpler 24.

description: Empirical attempts to measure the influence of land tenure in sub-Saharan Africa have up to now focused on attempts to correlate land tenure with productivity. Results from empirical work indicate that no one system of land tenure is best. For this study, three criteria, chosen on the basis of theoretical reasoning, are identified as being critical to any land tenure system if it is to exert a positive impact on agricultural productivity and sustainability. The three criteria are: transparency of property rights, process for internalization of costs and benefits, and functioning/nondistorting markets for inputs, including land.

Analysis and Evaluation of Coyote (Canis Latrans) Activity on University of British Columbia Campus
Creators: name: Brind, Kylie
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The campus of the University of British Columbia is topographically situated in an area which may increase the risk for human-coyote conflict (Lukasik & Alexander, 2011; Poessel et al., 2013), and coyotes have been known to be increasingly active on campus, especially in recent years (Sangar, 2020). While human-coyote conflict is generally quite rare (Lukasik & Alexander, 2011; Poessel et al., 2013; Poessel et al., 2017), risk perception is greatly affected by media-reported incidents of conflict (Nardi et al., 2020) which has been occuring nearby in areas such as Vancouver’s Stanley Park (Brend, 2021). This study observed the activity of coyotes on UBC campus and compared this to patterns of human activity to investigate human-coyote conflict risk in the area and evaluate management strategies that could be effective in managing conflict potential in the area. Motion activated camera traps were placed around campus and used to record activity of coyotes and humans over an 8 week period. Coyote activity was found to be inversely related to human activity, both temporally and spatially. Coyote activity was most prevalent in nighttime hours and in locations that were closer to the border of campus and the surrounding forest, compared to more central locations on campus. Evidence was also observed that coyotes at UBC may be using one of the roads in the area as a travel corridor along the border of campus. This study discusses how the coyote behavior observed illustrates a tendency to human avoidance, rather than bold, human-seeking behavior that is a strong precursor of human-coyote conflict (Gehrt et al., 2009; Timm et al., 2004). Conclusions are then drawn regarding implications this carries for current and future human-coyote conflict management in the area.

Creators: name: Wayne, Jonathan Mark
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: Methanogens are responsible for the production of methane, which is a major component of landfill gas. Methane is a greenhouse gas, but also a potentially valuable energy source. A better understanding of the methanogens in landfill could aid the development of improved strategies for the control of landfill degradation processes.

Excavated refuse and leachate samples were obtained from five landfills. DNA was extracted from the samples and a methanogen-specific gene (mcrA) was amplified by PCR. Clone libraries were generated, and screened by PCR-RFLP. This revealed a much greater diversity of methanogens in landfill than had been detected in previous studies. Furthermore, the composition of the methanogen communities was substantially different between landfills, and within landfills. DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis was used to determine the phylogenetic affiliations of landfill methanogens. Members of the order Methanomicrobiales were found to be dominant in the majority of the samples. Methanomicrobiales was the second most abundant group, while Methanosarcinales appeared to be only a minor component of the methanogen population in most of the samples. Phylogenetic analyses revealed five clusters of mcrA sequences that were not closely affiliated to any described species included in the analysis, including one cluster that was not closely affiliated to any of the five methanogen orders. These unidentified clusters may represent novel methanogenic lineages. A set of nested, group-specific oligonucleotide probes for mcrA was designed to detect the groups identified by the phylogenetic analysis. The usefulness of these probes for rapidly characterising methanogen communities was demonstrated by screening clone libraries of mcrA PCR products.

 The potential of molecular techniques for detecting homoacetogenic Bacteria in landfill was demonstrated by the generation of PCR products from DNA extracted from landfill using primers for the FTHFS gene, and by detection of a PCR product from landfill with a probe for FTHFS.

The results of this study have greatly increased our knowledge of the methanogen community in landfill, and the molecular techniques developed in this study should prove valuable for further investigations of the methanogen population in landfill and other environments

description: Changing the protein calibration for hard red spring (HRS) wheat has minimal effects on producers' income. The new protein calibration, which was implemented on January 24, 1994, yields a 0.16-percentage point higher protein content for the 1993 HRS wheat. However, protein premiums would decline for major producing States as a result of an increase in the perceived supply of wheat protein. On a per-bushel basis, wheat producers gain an additional $0.15 due to an increase in protein content. This gain, however, would be offset by an equal amount of loss due to a decline in protein premiums.

Elastic properties of dense hard-sphere fluids

description: A new analysis of elastic properties of dense hard sphere (HS) fluids is presented, based on the expressions derived by Miller [J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 50}, 2733 (1969)]. Important consequences for HS fluids in terms of sound waves propagation, Poisson's ratio, Stokes-Einstein relation, and generalized Cauchy identity are explored. Conventional expressions for high-frequency elastic moduli for simple systems with continuous and differentiable interatomic interaction potentials are known to diverge when approaching the HS repulsive limit. The origin of this divergence is identified here. It is demonstrated that these conventional expressions are only applicable for sufficiently soft interactions and should not be applied to HS systems. The reported results can be of interest in the context of statistical physics, physics of fluids, soft condensed matter, and granular materials.

description: The effect of Laponite (a synthetic clay) on the structure, thermal and water vapor barrier properties of nanocomposite gelatin films produced by casting with 0, 4.5 and 15% w Lap/w gelatin, was studied. X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements were reported. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed dual crystalline structure of the films with collagen-type bundles of triple helices, intercalated inside clay platelets, increasing interlayer distances. Depending on the renaturation of triple-helices and Laponite content, the glass transition temperatures substantially decreased. The amount of helices decreased with Lap concentration, affecting the enthalpy of melting. The nanocomposite gelatin films showed improved thermal stability. Changes of water vapor permeability could be related to the presence of larger free volume of the coils and intercalated structures, facilitating water transfer through the film.

description: Graphical tests assess whether a function of interest departs from an envelope of functions generated under a simulated null distribution. This approach originated in spatial statistics, but has recently gained some popularity in functional data analysis. Whereas such envelope tests examine deviation from a functional null distribution in an omnibus sense, in some applications we wish to do more: to obtain p-values at each point in the function domain, adjusted to control the familywise error rate. Here we derive pointwise adjusted p-values based on envelope tests, and relate these to previous approaches for functional data under distributional assumptions. We then present two alternative distribution-free p-value adjustments that offer greater power. The methods are illustrated with an analysis of age-varying sex effects on cortical thickness in the human brain.
Large-scale magnetic fields in GRB outflows: acceleration, collimation, and neutron decoupling

description: Using ideal magnetohydrodynamics we examine an outflow from a disk surrounding a stellar-mass compact object. We demonstrate that the magnetic acceleration is efficient (of the order of 50% or more of the magnetic energy can be transformed into kinetic energy of baryons with Lorentz factors above 100) and also that the jet becomes collimated to very small opening angles. Observational implications, focusing on the case of an initially neutron-rich outflow, are discussed in Konigl's contribution to these Proceedings.

description: Dinoflagellate blooms, also known as red tides, are a worldwide phenomenon. The frequency of these blooms has been increasing in recent years and large dinoflagellate blooms have been seen in areas where they have not been previously recorded or if they have, the blooms have been a minor occurrence. Foreign dinoflagellate species are being transported around the world in a variety of unnatural ways. Among these are ballast water from ships as well as with animals for aquaculture. Bloom-forming and toxic dinoflagellates can be problematic. Red tides have significant negative effects on aquaculture as well as on the indigenous organisms from the area. Algoa Bay has two harbours, one of which is a deep water port. There are also two shellfish aquaculture farms in the Bay. The hypothesis for this project was that the oyster farming in Algoa Bay had brought in foreign dinoflagellate cysts and that such cysts would have sunk into the sediment at the time of seeding. The method for the identification of dinoflagellate cysts was to use cross polarizing filters on a microscope with the addition of a lambda plate. In all the sediment sampled from all the sites for the project only one dinoflagellate cyst was found. By contrast Bay waters had an abundance of cysts. So it seems that, in this case, the oyster farming has not brought in any foreign dinoflagellate cysts which could potentially be a problem for Algoa Bay.

description: The applications of Electroencephalogram (EEG) have been extended to out of laboratory and clinics recently due to the advancements in the technical capabilities. There are various advantageous of EEG, making it a preferable method for a wide range of applications; it is a noninvasive method, it is portable, it offers good time resolution and sufficient spatial resolution, besides there are low cost EEG systems available for a commercial use. Since the early uses of EEG, mainly as monitoring of diseases and pathologies, sleep staging and event related potential researches, it has been intertwined with undesired signal types which we call as artifacts. These pose great challenges in the practice of EEG based methods such as averaging for monitoring and diagnosis of diseases, and single-trial signal analysis for a relatively recent application in brain-computer interfaces. However, many techniques have been developed and under study for better detection and mitigation of these adverse events. The main artifact types and their handling are discussed in this brief summary.

description: Recent work has suggested that the net gravitational force acting on a massive and luminous perturber travelling through a gaseous and opaque medium can have same direction as the perturber's motion (an effect sometimes called negative dynamical friction). Analytic results were obtained using a linear analysis and were later confirmed by means of non-linear numerical simulations which did not resolve the flow within the Bondi sphere of the perturber, hence effectively restricted to weakly perturbed regions of the flow (paper~I). Here we present high resolution simulations, using either 3D Cartesian or 2D cylindrical meshes that resolve the flow within the Bondi sphere. We perform a systematic study of the force as a function of the perturber's mass and luminosity, in the subsonic regime. We find that perturbers with mass $M$ smaller than a few $M_c\sim χc_s/G$ are subjected to a thermal force with a magnitude in good agreement with linear theory ($χ$ being the thermal diffusivity of the medium, $c_s$ the adiabatic sound speed and $G$ the gravitational constant), while for larger masses, the thermal forces are only a fraction of the linear estimate that decays as $M^{-1}$. Our analysis confirms the possibility of negative friction (hence a propulsion) on sufficiently luminous, low-mass embryos embedded in protoplanetary discs. Finally, we give an approximate expression of the total force at low Mach number, valid both for sub-critical ($MM_c$) perturbers.

description: We investigate finite size effects of the pion matrix element of the non-singlet, twist-2 operator corresponding to the average momentum of non-singlet quark densities. Using the quenched approximation, they come out to be surprisingly large when compared to the finite size effects of the pion mass. As a consequence, simulations of corresponding nucleon matrix elements could be affected by finite size effects even stronger which could lead to serious systematic uncertainties in their evaluation.
