description: The custom-built Portable Fine Particle Concentrator (PFPC) is evaluated for the measurement of ice nucleating particles (INPs) in the atmosphere. The concentrations of INPs in remote regions of the atmosphere are very low, often close to instrumental detection limits. The PFPC is a dual slit-nozzle virtual impactor where particles are concentrated from an input flow of 250 LPM (litres per minute) into an output flow of 10 LPM. The enrichment factors for ambient particles with diameters between 0.4 and 2.5 µm were found to be 21 ± 5 at sea level and 18 ± 2 at a field station 3580 meters above sea level for the PFPC operated in horizontal configuration. Similar enhancement factors (16 ± 5) in the concentrations of INPs measured by the Horizontal Ice Nucleation Chamber at the high altitude station were observed when the air mass was characterized by high numbers of particles larger than 0.5 µm. When the number size distribution was dominated by particles smaller than 0.5 µm, the INP enrichment factor was considerably lower. Corroborating short-term measurements were provided by additional INP-measuring instruments, the Fast Ice Nucleus CHamber and the Frankfurt Ice Deposition Freezing Experiment. Results from two aerosol mass spectrometers also indicate significant particle enhancement using the PFPC. These results indicate that the PFPC can be usefully deployed to improve the detection efficiency of ambient INP measurements.

Do Neutron Star Gravitational Waves Carry Superfluid Imprints?

description: Isolated neutron stars undergoing non-radial oscillations are expected to emit gravitational waves in the kilohertz frequency range. To date, radio astronomers have located about 1,300 pulsars, and can estimate that there are about 2 times 10^8 neutron stars in the galaxy. Many of these are surely old and cold enough that their interiors will contain matter in the superfluid or superconducting state. In fact, the so-called glitch phenomenon in pulsars (a sudden spin-up of the pulsar's crust) is best described by assuming the presence of superfluid neutrons and superconducting protons in the inner crusts and cores of the pulsars. Recently there has been much progress on modelling the dynamics of superfluid neutron stars in both the Newtonian and general relativistic regimes. We will discuss some of the main results of this recent work, perhaps the most important being that superfluidity should affect the gravitational waves from neutron stars (emitted, for instance, during a glitch) by modifying both the rotational properties of the background star and the modes of oscillation of the perturbed configuration. Finally, we present an analysis of the so-called zero-frequency subspace (i.e. the space of time-independent perturbations) and determine that it is spanned by two sets of polar (or spheroidal) and two sets of axial (or toroidal) degenerate perturbations for the general relativistic system. As in the Newtonian case, the polar perturbations are the g-modes which are missing from the pulsation spectrum of a non-rotating configuration, and the axial perturbations should lead to two sets of r-modes when the degeneracy of the frequencies is broken by having the background rotate.

description: Monoaxial chiral magnets exhibit a chiral conical magnetic state in a magnetic field parallel to the chiral axis. The conical spins carry the potential for nonreciprocal transport phenomena, as they break both spatial inversion and time reversal symmetries. Here we study the spin-dependent transport in the chiral conical magnetic state, using the Landauer method based on Green's functions for a one-dimensional Kondo lattice model. We show that the system exhibits nonreciprocal spin transport, which depends on the chirality, period, cone angle, and the polarization of the spin current. In particular, we find the distinct cone angle dependence between the spin textures with long and short periods. We also show that the nonreciprocity is related with the spin states of itinerant electrons near the leads. Our results indicate that the chiral cone acts as a spin-current diode, which can be flexibly controlled by a magnetic field.

description: We prove that for any two commuting von Neumann algebras of infinite type, the open set of Bell correlated states for the two algebras is norm dense. We then apply this result to algebraic quantum field theory -- where all local algebras are of infinite type -- in order to show that for any two spacelike separated regions, there is an open dense set of field states that dictate Bell correlations between the regions. We also show that any vector state cyclic for one of a pair of commuting nonabelian von Neumann algebras is entangled (i.e., nonseparable) across the algebras -- from which it follows that every field state with bounded energy is entangled across any two spacelike separated regions.

A successful method of reclaiming subsidence in abandoned mining areas

Year: 2009

description: Old mine openings present hazards to the public and liabilities to the property owners. Many makeshift attempts have been devised to solve the problems of old mine openings and mine subsidence, but few have been successful. This document will describe a method of plugging mine shafts, ventilation raises and mine cave subsidence which has been designed, tested and found to be successful, meets environmental requirements and has not failed in over 150 reclamation sites. Engineering design parameters were first applied by the writers to the plugging of mine openings in 1992. The design was inspired by the expandable thermos bottle cork which expands into the fragile throat of the vacuum bottle and seals it off. The concept was adapted to the mine openings with old mine tires as the cork. The compound polymer-steel toroid structural unit (loader tire) is designed to compensate for poor anchor points, loose rock, a tensional component in the stresses and when compressed and allowed to expand into the cavity, applies considerable pressure on the sides of the cavity, stabilizing the opening. This is a dynamic structural design component, capable of moving with the rock as the strain is taken up and the latent stresses in the rock are relieved. Once the opening is stabilized using the toroid plug, a three step, matte, mesh and cloth geotechnical solution can be applied and finished with backfill, topsoil and seeding to complete the reclamation.

description: The pressureless tachyonic matter recently found in superstring field theory has an over-abundance problem in cosmology. We argue that this problem is naturally solved in the brane inflationary scenario if almost all of the tachyon energy is drained (via its coupling to the inflaton and matter fields) to heating the universe, while the rest of the tachyon energy goes to a network of cosmic strings (lower-dimensional BPS D-branes) produced during the tachyon rolling at the end of inflation.

Slate Roofing in Medieval Sussex - A Reappraisal

description: Sussex Archaeological Collections, 127, 73-88
description: From at least the 12th century and throughout the Middle Ages slates were a major form of roof covering on buildings mostly near ports and river valleys along the South Coast. This study concentrates on Sussex (East and West). Many types of structures were roofed with slates, but ecclesiastical buildings, manor-houses and others of high status were twice as likely to have them than those of humbler circumstances. The source of most of the slates is probably the South Hams area of South Devon, where there were numerous slate quarries on or near the coast: some slates may be from South Cornwall. The practical aspects and techniques of slating in diminishing courses are discussed in some detail, and comparisons are made between Sussex, West Cornwall and Normandy slating practices. The quarrying of slate, seaborne trade and shipping do not form part of this study.

description: After 36 years of designation, Quito and its historical center have become a sample of the positive and negative effects a World Heritage designation has on developing cities in South America. Demographics and socio-economic impacts have already been evaluated and documented providing data that indicates the direct results of public management and regulatory policies implemented after 1978. Demographics, employment, poverty, among others have been directly or indirectly affected by the local decisions based on the designation outlines. However, are those results a mere reflection of the local authorities actions and policies, or are UNESCO and the World Heritage Convention playing a major role in limiting or defying the development of the designated area? Moreover similarly to other growing cities, Quito is constantly undergoing major urban development. Infrastructure needed to satisfy the needs of 2,239,191 citizens has to be planned and executed on regular bases, thus a number of urban plans have been developed over the years to address these needs. In the case of the designated area such plans have always been studied under the scope of pro-conservation public policies as well as in compliance with reports made by UNESCO World Heritage and ICOMOS. As a result there has been several plans and projects that have gone through a complete overview after such reports were submitted. However, it is unclear to what degree does the UNESCO World Heritage Convention and Committee have a direct influence in decision-making in the city, and to what extent do reports influence local authorities and therefore the application of urban plans. Therefore, raising questions that look beyond the statistics. Does UNESCO have power over local authorities? Can a World Heritage designation be positive or negative to the development of the city? and can urban development and heritage preservation coexist in balance achieving socio-economic development?

 Culicoides (Selfia) moabensis Phillips, 2015: 842 (key; diagnosis, male, female; fig. male head, thorax, wing, genitalia; female head, thorax, color, wing, genitalia; seasonal activity; Utah: Grand County).
 Diagnosis. (Tables 14, 15) Yellowish to reddish yellow; wing without pattern of pale spots; three unsclerotized or faintly sclerotized long fingerlike spermathecae; male scutellum with four setae; hind tarsomeres without apical spines; posterior margin of sternite 9 convex over base of aedeagus, without paired median lobes; basal third of gonocoxite abruptly expanded and bent mesally; gonocoxal apodeme simple, without hooklike process; aedeagus ~2× longer than wide, lateral arms not boomerang-shaped sclerites, apical third trifurcate into subparallel lobes>2× longer than wide; parameres fused, as long as wide, median process elongate triangular tonguelike.
 Distribution. Grand County, Utah.
 Adult behavior. The mandibular and lacinial teeth on the female and collection in CO 2 -baited traps indicate it feeds on vertebrate blood; and though its hosts are unknown, the SCo presence on only the proximal flagellomeres suggests it is mammalophilic.
 Culicoides moabensis was collected from mid-April through October, with strong peaks in late May (week 21) and early October (week 41), suggesting it is bivoltine in Grand County, which may not be the case in other areas (see C. brookmani biology).
 Remarks. Culicoides moabensis is more closely related to C. brookmani and C. multipunctatus of the Multipunctatus group than to other Selfia species (Phillips 2015).

description: The scaling behavior of the SO(3) irreducible amplitudes $d_n^l(r)$ of velocity structure tensors (see L'vov, Podivilov, and Procaccia, Phys. Rev. Lett. (1997)) is numerically examined for Navier-Stokes turbulence. Here, l characterizes the irreducible representation by the index of the corresponding Legendre polynomial, and n denotes the tensorial rank, i.e., the order of the moment. For moments of different order n but with the same representation index l extended self similarity (ESS) towards large scales is found. Intermittency seems to increase with l. We estimate that a crossover behavior between different inertial subrange scaling regimes in the longitudinal and transversal structure functions will hardly be detectable for achievable Reynolds numbers.

In particular situations (e.g. for graph endomorphism games) these quantum families have a natural quantum semigroup structure and if the condition of preservation of a natural state is added, they are in fact compact quantum groups.

description: The Casimir problem is usually posed as the response of a fluctuating quantum field to externally imposed boundary conditions. In reality, however, no interaction is strong enough to enforce a boundary condition on all frequencies of a fluctuating field. We construct a more physical model of the situation by coupling the fluctuating field to a smooth background potential that implements the boundary condition in a certain limit. To study this problem, we develop general new methods to compute renormalized one--loop quantum energies and energy densities. We use analytic properties of scattering data to compute Green's functions in time--independent background fields at imaginary momenta. Our calculational method is particularly useful for numerical studies of singular limits because it avoids terms that oscillate or require cancellation of exponentially growing and decaying factors. To renormalize, we identify potentially divergent contributions to the Casimir energy with low orders in the Born series to the Green's function. We subtract these contributions and add back the corresponding Feynman diagrams, which we combine with counterterms fixed by imposing standard renormalization conditions on low--order Green's functions. The resulting Casimir energy and energy density are finite functionals for smooth background potentials. In general, however, the Casimir energy diverges in the boundary condition limit. This divergence is real and reflects the infinite energy needed to constrain a fluctuating field on all energy scales; renormalizable quantum field theories have no place for ad hoc surface counterterms. We apply our methods to simple examples to illustrate cases where these subtleties invalidate the conclusions of the boundary condition approach.

description: This paper models the cyber-social system as a cyber-network of agents monitoring states of individuals in a social network. The state of each individual is represented by a social node and the interactions among individuals are represented by a social link. In the cyber-network each node represents an agent and the links represent information sharing among agents. Agents make an observation of social states and perform distributed inference. In this direction, the contribution of this work is threefold: (i) A novel distributed inference protocol is proposed that makes no assumption on the rank of the underlying social system. This is significant as most protocols in the literature only work on full-rank systems. (ii) A novel agent classification is developed, where it is shown that connectivity requirement on the cyber-network differs for each type. This is particularly important in finding the minimal number of observations and minimal connectivity of the cyber-network as the next contribution. (iii) The cost-optimal design of cyber-network constraint with distributed observability is addressed. This problem is subdivided into sensing cost optimization and networking cost optimization where both are claimed to be NP-hard. We solve both problems for certain types of social networks and find polynomial-order solutions.

description: In this paper we elaborate on the idea [Lohse et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 1359-1362 (1997)] that (single) sonoluminescing air bubbles rectify argon. The reason for the rectification is that nitrogen and oxygen dissociate and their reaction products dissolve in water. We give further experimental and theoretical evidence and extend the theory to other gas mixtures. We show that in the absence of chemical reactions (e.g., for inert gas mixtures) gas accumulation in strongly acoustically driven bubbles can also occur.

description: The minimal twist map introduced by B. Abdesselam, A. Chakrabarti, R. Chakrabarti and J. Segar (Mod. Phys. Lett. A 14 (1999) 765) for the non-standard (Jordanian) quantum sl(2,R) algebra is used to construct the twist maps for two different non-standard quantum deformations of the (1+1) Schrodinger algebra. Such deformations are, respectively, the symmetry algebras of a space and a time uniform lattice discretization of the (1+1) free Schrodinger equation. It is shown that the corresponding twist maps connect the usual Lie symmetry approach to these discrete equations with non-standard quantum deformations. This relationship leads to a clear interpretation of the deformation parameter as the step of the uniform (space or time) lattice.

description: China's massive investment in urban rail presents opportunities for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) around High-Speed Rail (HSR) stations. Transit-Oriented Development is regarded as an alternative growth model for urban sprawl, which reduces auto-trips, encourages transit usage and forms attractive neighborhoods. It is highly desirable because of the traffic congestion and air pollution in most Chinese cities. This thesis studies the challenges of integrating land use and transportation around HSR stations by analyzing Jinan West Station District. Evidence shows that TOD plans around HSR are struggling and the benefit of HSR is exaggerated. Housing prices fall after a rise. Speculation and low tenant quality causes the place to be deserted. Over a hundred plans were made for the West Station District but the market is not responding. It becomes a typical example of a public action that doesn't generate long-lasting market response.

description: By using a phenomenologically successful Woods-Saxon potential, I study the shape and shell structure of (A) neutron drip line nuclei with 10 \leq N \leq 60, (B) neutron-rich nuclei related to the r- process with 40 \leq N \leq 90, and (C) one-particle spectra in the potential provided by the nucleus 70Fe as a representative of so-called N=40 "island of inversion (IoI)" nuclei. First, the shell structure that is unique in very weakly-bound neutrons is systematically studied, and the approximate neutron number of odd-N nuclei at which spherical (or deformed) halos can be found is pinned down. Second, the difference of the shell structure in r-process nuclei from that in stable nuclei is examined. Third, the similarity and the difference between the shell structure of N=20 IoI nuclei and that of N=40 IoI nuclei are analyzed. As a result of it, it is concluded that in Fe and Cr isotopes the deformation called "N=40 IoI" continuing up to N=50 is unlikely.

Locating Heritage Value in the Reciprocal Relationship Between Preservation and Waste Management

Salvage (Waste, etc.)
Conservation of natural resources
Recycling (Waste, etc.)

description: There is unexplored potential in the relationship between preservationists – who seek to maintain, restore, rehabilitate, or reconstruct buildings and sites – and waste managers – who work to reduce consumption, and promote the reuse and recycling of materials. Several decades’ worth of research in the fields of environmental science and economics has established that human activity is constrained both by carbon and greenhouse gas emissions, whose accumulation in the atmosphere is causing irreversible climate change, and by limited natural resources, which vary in renewability and are at risk for overconsumption. More recent research asserts the need for architecture, engineering and construction to develop more sustainable practices that address both these constraints through increased building material reuse. Given these environmental conditions, there is a clear need for action to develop a more resource-efficient economy, which requires support through policy. In the United States, there has thus been a move to address the management of waste more holistically through municipal-level waste ordinances that consider the full lifecycle of material, and the deconstruction of buildings at end-of-life has emerged as a critical tool. Despite their intrinsic interaction with aged and existing infrastructure, there has been limited engagement in heritage and preservation literature with the topics of deconstruction, building material reuse, or construction and demolition waste policies more generally. This thesis investigates how preservation and waste management can be understood in tandem, and identifies emerging policy applications engaging both fields. Through a review of historical precedents and case-study analysis of current policies – like the 2016 Portland, Oregon Deconstruction Ordinance – this project finds that the preservation field’s engagement with material reuse hinges on how the material is valued. Ultimately, it discusses the potential for embracing building material reuse as a form of heritage preservation and argues for the active participation of the preservation field in waste reduction efforts.

description: This work provides a detailed account of the historical role of the distinction between the potential and actual infinite in a variety of debates within natural philosophy and mathematics. It then connects these historical positions to modern debates over the possibility of pluralism within philosophy of logic and mathematics. In particular, it defends a view under which theories of the infinite and logic are justified abductively, and it argues that this abductive methodology provides space for an interesting pluralism about both the infinite and logical consequence. This argument relies on a detailed and thorough historical investigation into ancient, medieval, early modern, and modern views of the infinite, revealing a range of background metaphysical and epistemological commitments that motivate different abductive criteria for sophisticated philosophical positions on the infinite. It then suggests that charitable interpretations of the historical positions on the infinite should lead one to endorse a logical pluralism.

 Distribution. California, Utah, Colorado (USNM), Arizona (Cochise County, new state record), New Mexico, Texas. Khalaf’s (1957) C. spinosus Oklahoma record may be for C. sublettei. One female was collected with UVLT on 15 October 2019 at 31.89365°N 109.21416°W and 1708 m elevation in Arizona.
 Larval ecology. Culicoides sublettei has been reared from mud at pond margins and light-trapped from 9 March to 9 October in south-central Texas (Wirth and Bottimer 1956, as C. spinosus). Jones (1961b, as C. spinosus) collected immatures from muddy freshwater spring-creek areas and boggy stream margins in Texas.
 Adult behavior. Jones et al. (1977) reported burros as hosts.
 Remarks. The Arizona specimen I collected differs from Atchley’s (1967) description by having a sclerotized ring on the spermathecal duct. It also has the deeper palpal pit of C. vetustus and the shorter proboscis of C. usingeri. See subgenus Silvaticulicoides discussion.

description: We investigate the various time-dependent bubble spacetimes that can be obtained from double analytic continuation of asymptotically locally flat/AdS spacetimes with NUT charge. We find different time-dependent explicit solutions of general relativity from double analytic continuations of Taub-Nut(-AdS) and Kerr-Nut(-AdS) spacetimes. One solution in particular has Milne-like evolution throughout, and another is a NUT-charged generalization of the AdS soliton. These solutions are all four dimensional. In certain situations the NUT charge induces an ergoregion into the bubble spacetime and in other situations it quantitatively modifies the evolution of the bubble, as when rotation is present. In dimensions greater than four, no consistent bubble solutions are found that have only one timelike direction.

description: Culicoides hoguei Wirth and Moraes
 Culicoides hoguei Wirth and Moraes, 1979: 293 (female, male; fig. female antenna, palpus, wing, eye separation, spermathecae, male genitalia, parameres, leg; California). Wirth et al. 1985: 38 (numerical characters; fig. female wing). Wirth et al. 1988: 56 (numerical characters; fig. female wing). Borkent and Spinelli 2000: 40 (in Neotropical catalog).
 Culicoides mohave Wirth, misidentified: Wirth 1952a: 187 (in part).
 Diagnosis. (Tables 14, 15) Brown; wing similar to C. mohave (Fig. 131, 207), pattern faint on distal half; r 2 dark; distal pale spot in r 3 distinct, centered at ~0.6 the distance from apex of costa to apex of M 1, not extending into distal 0.2 of cell; one pale spot in distal half of anal cell; two ovoid subequal spermathecae, with necks ~2× longer than wide; sclerotized ring on spermathecal duct; male tergite 9 apicolateral processes long: their length ~0.5 the distance between them; ventral apodeme of gonocoxite with two widely divergent processes, footlike; aedeagal arms simple V-shaped, median process tapering triangular to rounded tip; paramere with bulbous submedian lobe and subapical fringe of spines.
 Distribution. Coastal Southern California, Baja California, Baja California Sur.
 Adult behavior. Ryckman and Ryckman (1963) reported C. hoguei biting humans, sometimes after dark and suggested C. hoguei ’s larval habitat is likely the rotting organic material on the beaches surrounding the Baja California islands where the midges were collected.
 Remarks. Wirth and Moraes (1979) found some Baja California specimens to have smaller proboscis ratios and more mandibular teeth than those of the California types. I include these variations within parenthesis in Table 14; however, no C. hoguei were examined.

description: Most of the modern online economy is based on websites offering free services and content in exchange for advertising access and user data. Web companies collect vast troves of data about their users in order to better target their advertisements. An important subset of this harvested data is the locations visited by users. Location data is valuable as it is a ``real world" signal compared to online behaviors: a visit to a store is a stronger signal than a visit to a website, and location data can reveal user attributes that are interesting to advertisers. The collection of this data, however, raises many concerns. Location data can reveal important attributes that users may not wish to disclose: ZIP codes can reveal income and race, visits to places of worship may allow discrimination, and insurers may want to know about trips to hospitals. The risks exist at both an individual level, with location tied to physical safety, and at a collective level, with inference about group membership a necessary step towards discrimination. In this thesis, I examine issues of privacy and fairness in the use of location data. In the first portion, I empirically demonstrate new attacks on the anonymity and privacy of users, including a theoretical basis for user identification. In the second portion, I propose and analyze new solutions for dealing with privacy, anonymity, and fairness in the collection and use of location data. In contrast to previous work which presents privacy in abstract ways or ignores the power of data aggregators, the work presented here focuses on concretely informing users and incorporates the economic incentives driving privacy and fairness concerns.

description: Advanced manufacturing has been well addressed in American policies, especially since 2010 when the States wanted to revitalize the economy and create jobs by taking advantage of its competitive sectors. The U.S. has strength in high-tech manufacturing industries due to endowments of advanced technology and high-skill labor. 3D printing is a typical advanced manufacturing industry that is high value added, driven by technological innovation, highly skilled labor, cutting edge materials and production process. The U.S. has shown an obvious advantage in this industry. 3D printer manufacturing emerged in American in the 1980s and has surged ahead during the recent decade. The distribution of 3D printer companies is not bound within California where 3D printing was invented, but has spread out to the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes. In this thesis I look into two questions: what art the location factors of 3D printer manufacturing industry; why some cities that are not noted for high-tech clusters can attract 3D printer manufacturers. To find answers, I first summarized the location criteria of innovative manufacturing industries raised by existing studies. This is followed by my analyses of the evolution of 3D printer technology, the industry's market performances and the development trajectory of major companies. They illustrate the characteristics of 3D printer manufacturing and the reasons for their concentration at specific states. Based on these findings, I adjusted the list of location factors according. In this thesis, two case studies of 3D printer producers are presented. the first one is the biggest 3D printer firm 3D Systems Corp.'s relocation from California to Rock Hill, South Carolina in 2005, and the second is a promising firm MakerBot Industries' establishment and development in Brooklyn, New York City since 2009. I interviewed the two companies to know their considerations when choosing their sites of business and meanwhile get their comments on the location selection criteria of 3D printer manufacturing. To demonstrate these factors, I analyzed the socioeconomic data, business and knowledge network as well as relevant policies that could account for the development of 3D printer manufacturing in these cities. My hypothesis is that highly skilled labor, knowledge sharing, and business networks are important factors that would affect their location decisions. this thesis ends up with recommendations for cities that are not the origin of new technologies to attract innovative manufacturing industries like 3D printer manufacturing.

Symmetry breaking aspects of the effective Lagrangian for quantum black holes

description: The physical excitations entering the effective Lagrangian for quantum black holes are related to a Goldstone boson which is present in the Rindler limit and is due to the spontaneous breaking of the translation symmetry of the underlying Minkowski space. This physical interpretation, which closely parallels similar well-known results for the effective stringlike description of flux tubes in QCD, gives a physical insight into the problem of describing the quantum degrees of freedom of black holes. It also suggests that the recently suggested concept of 'black hole complementarity' emerges at the effective Lagrangian level rather than at the fundamental level.

description: Culicoides calexicanus Wirth and Rowley
(Fig. 90, 144, 221, 223, 275, 285)
 Culicoides calexicanus Wirth and Rowley, 1971: 156 (numerical characters; key; female, male; fig. female antenna, palpus, eye separation, spermathecae, male genitalia, parameres; California). Wirth et al. 1985: 26 (numerical characters; fig. female wing).
 Diagnosis. (Tables 14, 15) Wing pattern distinct and extensive; r 2 dark; prominent distal pale spots in r 3, m 1, m 2; scutellum yellowish, lighter than the brown scutum; fore and often hind tarsomeres with apical spines; spermathecae unequal by ~1.1, necks shorter than wide; ventral apodeme of gonocoxite simple; gonostylus about evenly curved, not abruptly bent, entire lateral contour convex; aedeagus V-shaped, median process tapering to tip ~0.2 as wide as basal arm spread; parameres separate, with abrupt ventro-lateral bend at ~0.8 and sharp tip often with divergent apical spines.
 Distribution. California, Nevada, Utah (Grand, Washington counties, new state record). Evidently, C. calexicanus is an uncommon but wide-ranging species, having been reported by Wirth and Rowley (1971) from near sea level in Imperial County, California, and from ~ 2300 m elevation in the Humboldt Mountains of Elko County, Nevada.
 Adult behavior. The mandibular and lacinial teeth on the female indicate it feeds on vertebrate blood; and the CO 2 - baited trap collection of the male suggests that males may seek hosts to find females for mating. Its week 14 collection datum in Table 5 is from Imperial County, California, a much warmer climate, representing much earlier activity than in Utah or Nevada.
 Remarks. Some of the Palmerae group females that were not identified to species may be C. calexicanus. See C. palmerae and species C remarks.
