General distribution. Europe: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Greece (mainland, Cyclades, Dodecanese), Hungary, Italy (mainland, Sicily), FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, European Russia (Crimea, Caucasus), Spain, Ukraine; never recorded in Balearic Isl., Corsica, Sardinia and Crete; North Africa: Algeria, Libya (Cyrenaica), Morocco, Tunisia; West Asia: Cyprus, Egypt (Sinai), northwestern Iran, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Turkey; Central Asia: Tadjikistan (Brölemann 1921, 1930, 1932; Attems 1930; Serra 1983; Lewis 1985, 2010; Zapparoli 1991, 1999; Kos 1992; Zalesskaja & Shileyko 1992; Foddai et al. 1995; Stoev 1997).
Chorotype. (Turano?)-Mediterranean.
Habitats. Sandy beaches, cultivations with vineyards, under Eucalyptus, maquis and phryganic formations with Sarcopoterium spinosum, Ceratonia and Pistacia, mixed forests with Pinus, Quercus and Acer, mixed Pinus forest, near ponds with Eucalyptus and Acacia, ravines with Platanus, Juniperus and Pinus, open fields with Ceratonia.
Altitudinal range: 5–1940 m.
Remarks. No previous records of this widely distributed species was known from Cyprus a part from an old generic quotation from “ Chypre [E. Simon et E. Desch. 1893-94]” by Kraepelin (1904). Turk (1952: 656) quoted under Scolopendra dalmatica C.L. Koch, 1847 a specimen 82 mm long from Mount Pentadaktilon. This specimen, now stored at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, whose data label corresponds exactly to those published by Turk except the year of collection, probably for a print error, has been checked by one of us (SS) and must be undoubtedly assigned to this species.
The generic quotations of Scolopendra from neighbourhood of Larnaca and the top of Mount Troodos by Sinclair (1895) are here referred to this species.

description: A method, wireless device and computer program product for expanding the coverage of a cellular network. A wireless device (e.g., cellular telephone) is able to communicate with a base station in a cell of the cellular network over a non-cellular interface via another wireless device in a cell through the use of multi-hopping. A wireless device may request permission to communicate with the base station over a non-cellular interface via hopping off another wireless device when its signal strength is below a threshold. Alternatively, a wireless device may receive a request to communicate with the base station over a non-cellular interface via hopping off the wireless device that sent the request when that wireless device has excess capacity in its bandwidth with the base station.

Greenhouse gas emissions induced by Mexican intermediate trade
Creators: name: orozco, Roberto
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: In Mexico, the trade liberalization process embarked upon in the 1980s gave rise to an export profile focussed on industrial maquilas destined largely for the United States . In addition to its effect on exports, trade liberalization triggered industrial restructuring processes, which resulted in nearly all sectors becoming increasingly reliant on imported intermediate inputs. In the last decade, Mexican foreign trade (imports and exports) has represented more than 70% of GDP. The consequences of trade in the Mexican economy have been analyzed from different perspectives: Productivity, value added, employment .  Likewise, the effects of the Mexican commercial profile on the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) have been analyzed. Following a similar approach, in this work GHG emissions induced by Mexican foreign trade will be estimated

description: A method for establishing synchronization between a master clock and a slave clock. A transmitter near the master clock transmits a pulse sequence onto an electrical cable that extends between the transmitter and a receiver near the slave clock. Each pulse of the pulse sequence is either a null pulse (i.e., a zero pulse) or a pulse of exponential kind, depending a corresponding bit in a bit sequence. Each pulse of exponential kind has a leading edge pf exponential shape corresponding to the exponential coefficient α. The bit sequence represents the sum of (a) a current timestamp of the master clock and (b) an adjustment value that represents the one-way time of-flight of the exponentially shaped leading edge through the cable. The receiver recovers the bit sequence from the pulse sequence, and loads the bit sequence into the slave clock, to establish synchronization.
Sociability and self interest

description: Seventeenth and eighteenth century liberalism emerged in the context of the evolution of natural law jurisprudence into a theory of natural rights. This dissertation traces the development of natural law theory into a theory of natural rights and liberalism through the work of Hugo Grotius, Samuel Pufendorf, John Locke and Adam Smith. I explore the ways that the concepts of sociability and self-interest emerge from the natural law tradition and shape liberal notions of the individual and his obligations to the community. The results of this analysis are, I hope, the recovery of a moral basis for liberal political thought and a more nuanced reading of the individual and individual obligation in that discourse. The development of natural law and liberal political thought shows an increasing political and moral legitimacy accorded to self-love and self-interest. But if self-love has the capacity to be socially productive, so too does it always threaten to tend towards egoism and solipsism. My reading of the natural law and liberal traditions indicates that thinkers who seek to validate self-interest also acknowledge that this self-love must be contained and restrained by sociability. If individuals are self-interested and self-loving, they also sociable and potentially other-regarding. The tradition which is the subject of this dissertation reveals the ways in which self-love is conceived as legitimate and socially productive because of the power of sociability to moderate and contain the potential excesses of self-love both ontologically and institutionally. In this dissertation I seek to show that a close reading of the relationships between self-love and sociability point us to a more enriched understanding of the liberal individual and his formal relationships with his fellow men. Liberal self-interest, liberal rights and the liberal individual are always and already dependent on a sociable attitude towards others. The intellectual acknowledgment of this dependence and the subsequent creation of sociable institutions is essential to liberal political thought. This nuance will, I hope, enable us to conceive of the historical evolution of liberal political thought in more complicated terms than is usually done.

A functional analysis of enterocyte fatty acid-binding proteins

description: Intestinal- and liver- fatty acid-binding proteins (IFABP and LFABP, respectively) are expressed at high levels in mammalian small intestinal enterocytes and bind the major products of dietary triacylglycerol (TG) digestion. The precise role of FABPs in processing these diet-derived lipids is unknown. We investigated the acute metabolism of fatty acids and monoacylglycerol in fasted WT and FABP-/- in small intestinal mucosa in vivo. Two minutes after intraduodenal administration of [14C]oleate or [3H]monoolein, mucosal radioactivity was recovered primarily in TG.  Recovery of [14C]oleate in TG relative to phospholipids (PL) was significantly reduced in IFABP-/- mice.  No changes were found in the expression of lipid synthetic genes, suggesting a non-transcriptional, trafficking defect.  Recovery of [14C]oleate in lipid fractions was unaffected by LFABP ablation, although significantly less was oxidized.  Oxidative capacity was unchanged in LFABP-/- intestinal mucosa homogenates, suggesting LFABP may target fatty acids toward catabolic fates.  Incorporation of [3H]monoolein into TG relative to PL was markedly reduced in LFABP-/- despite no changes in the expression of lipid synthetic genes.  While those results suggest a trafficking defect, reports on the binding of monoacylglycerol by LFABP are mixed.  Therefore, the monoacylglycerol -binding capability of liver cytosol from wild-type and LFABP-/- mice was assessed by gel filtration chromatography.  The [14C]oleate associated with ~14kDa proteins was absent in LFABP-/- liver cytosol.  Interestingly, [3H]monoolein was present in the ~14kDa fractions from WT but not LFABP-/- cytosol.  Immunoblotting confirmed the presence of LFABP in the ~14kDa fractions from WT, but not LFABP-/-.  These results suggest that LFABP is a monoacylglycerol-binding protein in a physiological setting.  The systemic effects of enterocyte FABP deletion were examined by comparing body composition via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and energy metabolism via indirect calorimetry.  During food deprivation, IFABP-/- mice lost more fat mass and, accordingly, had a lower respiratory quotient than WT.  LFABP-/- mice lost less fat-free mass and maintained a higher level of energy expenditure relative to WT.  These findings suggest that ablation of enterocyte FABPs manifest specific cellular effects in their native tissues due to lipid trafficking defects, as well as systemic effects.

description: I studied the potential effects of a change in the amount, frequency and timing of precipitation on soil microbes and nitrogen cycling in the New Jersey Pinelands. I performed a two year field manipulation of precipitation amount and measured the response of the microbial community, potential net nitrogen mineralization and amino acid production. I found that soil microbes were not affected by rain exclusion or a doubling of rainfall. Nematode densities, but not community composition, were sensitive to precipitation amount. A large accumulation of ammonium in drought plots suggested sustained microbial activity under extreme drought conditions. I observed small changes in potential net nitrogen mineralization due to the effects of soil moisture on diffusion and immobilization. I measured the short-term response of the microbial community to a rewetting of dry soil and found a very rapid (three hour) change in the microbial community. The accumulation of ammonium within drought plots appears to have suppressed fungal biomass following the rewetting event.In a two year winter study, I found no long-term effect of supplemental winter rainfall on the soil microbial community. Elevated winter precipitation prevented ammonium accumulation, presumably by protecting plant roots from freeze damage. I found that supplemental watering insulates soil microbes from cold stress over the short-term (days), but that mid-winter declines in biomass due to cold soil.These experiments demonstrate that soil microbial communities in Pinelands soils are highly tolerant of abiotic stressors such as drought, upshock stress and soil freezing. Recovery from these disturbances is extremely rapid, occurring on the scale of hours to days. I conclude that changing precipitation patterns will not have a direct, long-term effect on soil microbial communities. Changes in precipitation patterns are more likely to alter nitrogen cycling rates via the influence on nitrogen diffusion and plant and microbial uptake. Furthermore, precipitation-induced changes in nematode densities may have important implications for nitrogen cycling in the New Jersey Pinelands.
Characterization of the A subunit mutants of Stx1 and Stx2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

description: Shiga toxins are a family of related toxins with two major groups, Stx1 and Stx2.  The most common sources for Shiga toxin are the bacteria Shigella dysenteriae and the Shigatoxigenic group of Escherichia coli (STEC), which includes serotype O157:H7.  Shiga-like toxin 1 and 2 (Stx1 and Stx2) are produced by some E. coli strains.  Stx produced by S. dysenteriae differs from Stx1 by one amino acid.  Stx1 and Stx2 have only 56% sequence homology.E. coli O157:H7 has been the major cause of food-borne illnesses.  Symptoms include abdominal cramping, bloody diarrhea, vomiting and a low-grade fever.  Serious complications can lead to Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS).Stx1 and Stx2 are categorized as and AB5 toxin.  The A complex is responsible for toxicity and has enzymatic activity inside the host cell.  The B subunits bind to a receptor on the surface of the host cell.  Shiga toxin acts as an N-glycosidase.  It cleaves a specific adenine residue in the conserved α- sarcin ricin loop in the 28S subunit of the eukaryotic rRNA.  This interferes with the translocation step in protein synthesis and leads to inhibition of translation and cell death.When Stx1A and Stx2A cDNA was cloned downstream of the GAL1 promoter and transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cells growth was greatly reduced when expression of the toxin was induced.  To identify residues critical for cytotoxicity or Stx1A and Stx2A random and site-directed mutations were made.  The ability of the mutant proteins to depurinate ribosomes in vivo in yeast was determined by dual primer extension analysis.  The amount of translation was measured by incorporation of [35S]-methionine in the cell.The results of these assays show mutations in N75, Y77, E167, R170, and R176 are critical for toxicity in both toxins.  Also C-terminal deletions after L240 in Stx1A and I238 in Stx2A abolished toxicity.  Several of these mutants, even though they are non-toxic still have the ability to depurinate ribosomes.  This indicates cytotoxicity and depurination may not be directly related.  This provides evidence that cytotoxicity is not necessarily a direct result of depurination, and other potential mechanisms may contribute in Stx1A and Stx2A cytotoxicity in yeast.

description: This study examines the ways in which the Internet is utilized for progressive civic action, focusing on a detailed case study of Internet activism of South Korea. The goals of this study are to examine: the ways in which the Internet is utilized for progressive civic action; the extent to which Internet activism is differentiated from preexisting social movements; and the ways in which the Internet affects movement repertoires and organizational forms of civic action. Toward this end, this study encompasses four main areas: (1) historical background of Korean Internet activism; (2) social agents of Internet activism; (3) movement repertoires and awareness of citizenship; and (4) theoretical implications of the Korean case. This study employs multiple research methods including qualitative framing analysis, in-depth interviews, and focus-group interviews as well as quantitative methods. The findings of this study suggest that Korean Internet activism has had a huge impact on political and cultural environments. Korea’s liberal and critical younger generations have predominantly used the Internet, constituting amorphous and hybrid groups of Internet users who are aware of citizenship—namely netizens. Positing themselves distinctly from preexisting activist groups including social movement organizations (SMOs), Korean netizens have utilized the Internet for resource mobilization, virtual struggles, and alternative knowledge production for progressive civic action. Through serial events from 2002 to 2007, Korean netizens and SMOs have collaborated on the one hand and contended on the other hand. Netizens have expedited horizontal and decentralized networks for communication and mobilization while SMOs have maintained hierarchical organizational forms and centralized leadership. This study also found that Korean Internet activism has brought about noticeable changes in movement repertoires. Netizens have organically combined online and offline struggles, converged sub-cultural and political discourses, and constructed distributed trust and counter-hegemonic frames through interactive communications based on datgul [replies] and pumjil [copy-and-paste].  Different from Chadwick’s hybrid mobilization movement model based on Western experience, organizational innovations of civic action have mainly been led by netizens, rather than by SMOs. While many Korean SMOs have adopted new movement repertoires for resource mobilization, they have failed to internalize new values embedded in the netizens’ movement repertoires.
Plio-pleistocene stratigraphy and paleogeography for hominin remains from areas 130 and 133, Koobi Fora, Kenya

description: The Koobi Fora Formation archives a record of hominin evolution for a three-million-year period (ca. 4-1 Ma) within the northeast Turkana Basin, Kenya.  Assessing probable controls on the fossil or archaeological patterns in the formation requires an understanding of the spatial-temporal contexts of the hominin remains and detailed knowledge of the paleoenvironmental settings in which evolution occurred.  Toward these ends, research was conducted in the basin to interrelate paleoanthropological sites from collection Areas 130 and 133, refine the paleogeography of the north-central Karari Escarpment, and ultimately provide a framework for establishing associations between hominin adaptations and habitats features in the Koobi Fora region.  Results of sedimentological and stratigraphic analyses demonstrate that deposits of the upper Burgi/lower KBS members (~1.9 Ma) accumulated within a low-lying floodbasin setting, covering an area of about 8 km2 for the northern Karari.  This setting supported vertisols and was locally incised in northern Area 133 by a channel that attained a minimal depth of 3 m and lateral extent of ≥100 m.  Beginning in the middle KBS Member and continuing to the upper KBS Member, the landscape experienced repeated dissection, aggradation, and prolonged (103-105 years) calcic soil formation.  Channel systems during this interval extended laterally for ≥2 km and evolved from a deeply incised (up to 8 m of erosive relief) sandy complex to a shallower braided network carrying abundant basaltic gravel.  Deposits of the upper KBS/lower Okote members (~1.6 Ma) accumulated within a meandering channel and associated proximal floodplains.  This landscape mainly aggraded through crevasse-splay sedimentation and supported immature alluvial soils.  A similar floodplain style in Area 133 persisted to or resumed in the upper Okote/lower Chari members (~1.4 Ma).  The oldest and youngest hominin remains are potentially represented by surface occurrences of stone tools in Area 133.  Most hominin remains from Area 130 derive from both braided- and meandering-river environments of the upper KBS to lower Okote members.  The paleogeography represented by the reconstructed depositional systems was influenced by monsoon-driven seasonality in an otherwise semi-arid climate, in addition to instances of extra-basin volcanism that caused rates of sediment supply to episodically increase.  Additional controls may have stemmed from lake-level oscillations and/or increased regional aridity occurring at 1.8-1.7 Ma.
From standardized templates to context-appropriate plans

description: Federal and state involvement in emergency management planning is often aimed at low-frequency, high-impact events, or at specific weaknesses in “lessons learned” from actual events. However, such initiatives do not necessarily account for regional differences in hazard characteristics, planning processes, response structures and practical application. This research investigates the influence of externally-devised emergency management initiatives on coastal evacuation planning. Specific objectives are to identify factors dictating local coastal hazard planning activities,  analyze the efficacy of local programs within the regional geography of coastal New Jersey, and assess the degree to which contextual hazard analysis can improve approaches to coastal evacuation planning. Surveys were provided to 83 coastal communities in New Jersey over a four-year period that addressed coastal evacuation planning needs and externally-devised emergency management initiatives since the events of September 11, 2001. Comments from 40 discrete communities, along with 10 follow-up interviews indicate disconnections between top-down “template planning” initiatives and local needs. Research results demonstrate that 1) Federal initiatives are not necessarily congruent with needs and priorities at municipal levels, 2) such initiatives are not clearly and effectively incorporated into local planning, and 3) there is a lack of long-term support for program success from such initiatives. This research reveals that although such projects may have merit, that value is lost if critical local needs are subordinated in favor of the template planning initiatives. In order to increase efficacy of planning efforts, Federal and state initiatives should be integrated into local planning needs, possibly through formal regional designations, to enhance planning outcomes and emphasize needs unique to local geography.

A unifying framework for computational reinforcement learning theory
Creators: name: Li, Lihong
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Computational learning theory studies mathematical models that allow one to formally analyze and compare the performance of supervised-learning algorithms such as their sample complexity. While existing models such as PAC (Probably Approximately Correct) have played an influential role in understanding the nature of supervised learning, they have not been as successful in reinforcement learning (RL). Here, the fundamental barrier is the need for active exploration in sequential decision problems.An RL agent tries to maximize long-term utility by exploiting its knowledge about the problem, but this knowledge has to be acquired by the agent itself through exploring the problem that may reduce short-term utility. The need for active exploration is common in many problems in daily life, engineering, and sciences. For example, a Backgammon program strives to take good moves to maximize the probability of winning a game, but sometimes it may try novel and possibly harmful moves to discover how the opponent reacts in the hope of discovering a better game-playing strategy. It has been known since the early days of RL that a good tradeoff between exploration and exploitation is critical for the agent to learn fast (i.e., to reach near-optimal strategies with a small sample complexity), but a general theoretical analysis of this tradeoff remained open until recently.In this dissertation, we introduce a novel computational learning model called KWIK (Knows What It Knows) that is designed particularly for its utility in analyzing learning problems like RL where active exploration can impact the training data the learner is exposed to. My thesis is that the KWIK learning model provides a flexible, modularized, and unifying way for creating and analyzing reinforcement-learning algorithms with provably efficient exploration. In particular, we show how the KWIK perspective can be used to unify the analysis of existing RL algorithms with polynomial sample complexity. It also facilitates the development of new algorithms with smaller sample complexity, which have demonstrated empirically faster learning speed in real-world problems. Furthermore, we provide an improved, matching sample complexity lower bound, which suggests the optimality (in a sense) of one of the KWIK-based algorithms known as delayed Q-learning.

Opportunistic secret communication in wireless systems

Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines the challenges of information-theoretic secret communication that exploits the temporal and spatial variations of the wireless medium to improve secret communication rates. We first examine the secrecy capacity of a system consisting of independent parallel channels with one transmitter, one intended receiver and one eavesdropper. We show that the secrecy capacity of the system is the sum of the secrecy capacities of the individual subchannels. We further derive the optimal power allocation strategy for a system of parallel AWGN channels subject to a total power constraint, and also extend the results to random fading channels with additive Gaussian noise. We then study the achievable secrecy rate with Gaussian random codes for the situation where the channel of the intended receiver is a constant AWGN channel, while the eavesdropper's channel is fast Rayleigh fading with unknown realizations but known statistics to the transmitter. The proposed method with artificial noise and bursting provides ways to achieve positive secrecy rate even when Bob's channel is worse than Eve's channel on average. We also examine the achievable secrecy rate for a multiple antenna system, and the optimal input structure needed to achieve this rate. For the multiple input single output case, an analytical solution is derived. Multiple antenna systems provide extra degrees of freedom to the transmitter so that a beamforming-like approach can be used to provide advantage to the intended receiver against the eavesdropper. Next we derive a secrecy capacity outer bound region for a class of one-sided interference channels. The outer bound is shown to be tight for a class of binary deterministic one-sided interference channels, and can be achieved within one bit for some Gaussian one-sided interference channels.Finally, as Gaussian random codes are impractical, we evaluate achievable secrecy rates with discrete signaling. We observe that with discrete signaling, there exists an optimal power that maximizes the achievable secrecy rate. For the AWGN channel, larger constellation is always better. While for fading channel, the optimal constellation size varies with the power constraint, and discrete signaling can perform better than random Gaussian coding.
