description: Diamonds offer radiation hard sensors, which can be used directly in primary beams. Here we report on the use of a polycrystalline CVD diamond strip sensor as beam monitor of heavy ion beams with up to 2.10^9 lead ions per bunch. The strips allow for a determination of the transverse beam profile to a fraction of the pitch of the strips, while the timing information yields the longitudinal bunch length with a resolution of the order of a few mm.

description: Dorcus brevis and D. parallelus The overall broader form of the body of D. brevis (Fig. 1) is often adequate to distinguish it from the relatively narrower D. parallelus (Fig. 2). However, the most useful and obvious external character for separating the North American species is the shape of the posterior pronotal angle. In D. brevis, the posterior angles are in close proximity to the elytral bases Figures Ι–2. Dorsal habitus of major males. Ι Dorcus brevis (length 30mm) 2 Dorcus parallelus (length 26mm). Scale bar = 5mm. (Fig. 3). In D. parallelus, the angles are distinctly removed from the base of the elytra (Fig. 4). The humeral angles of D. brevis are generally more strongly dentate and the humeri produced forward of the scutellum, while in D. parallelus the humerus is less strongly dentate and more or less in line with the scutellum. In addition, males of D. parallelus have a dense field of setae on the internal face of the metatibia (Fig. 5), but this patch is not present on males of D. brevis (Fig. 6). The clypeus is distinctly broader in males of D. parallelus. In both species, the mandibles of major males have a single large dorsal tooth, but the dentition of the mandibles of minor males is clearly distinct. Even the smallest minor males of D. parallelus have mandibles that are of the same basic shape as major males, but they are simply reduced in size (Fig. 7). In contrast, minor males of D. brevis have two distinct internal teeth below the dorsal tooth and are abruptly curved internally (Fig. 8). The form of the male genitalia is radically different in the two species. The flagellum of D. parallelus is longer than the entire length of the body and is weakly flared at the apex (Fig. 9). The flagellum of D. brevis is less than half as long, with a large lobe-like sac at the apex (Fig. 10). The genitalia of the European species, D. parallelipipedus, differs from either species in being more strongly expanded medially and in possessing a trilobed apex (Fig. 11). 3 Figures 3–4.

description: Dans le domaine nucléaire, la validation de résultats prévisionnels du comportement des structures obtenus par simulations numériques est une tâche cruciale qui repose (encore) bien souvent sur les connaissances, appréciations et dires des experts. Aucun des guides ou corpus réglementaires publiés au cours des dernières décennies ne propose une méthode claire, simple et opérationnelle permettant de quantifier objectivement la validité (écart satisfaisant entre les résultats du modèle et l’observable mesuré) des modèles utilisés ou des résultats obtenus. Pour répondre à ce besoin, le présent papier propose une démarche générale et surtout une nouvelle métrique destinée à la quantification de la validité d’un modèle dans son domaine de définition initiale (échelle de l’éprouvette ou de la maquette par exemple) et au-delà par extrapolation (échelle de la structure faisant l’objet de calcul prévisionnel). La métrique est inspirée des travaux de (Roy et Oberkampf, 2011) avec les améliorations suivantes : formulation probabiliste de la métrique et décomposition de la métrique en deux variables ; une associée au risque de surestimer la réponse réelle et une autre associée au risque de la sous-estimer. Ce travail s’inscrit dans une perspective de développement d’outils d’ingénieur facilitant la déclinaison opérationnelle dans un cadre industriel (Langlade T. et al., 2022) du guide ASN N°28 (ASN, 2017).

description: Dans le cadre des études probabilistes de sûreté (EPS) de niveau 2, l’Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN) analyse le comportement structural et fonctionnel des enceintes de confinement des réacteurs nucléaires (troisième et dernière barrière du dispositif de défense en profondeur des réacteurs à eau sous pression) dans des conditions d’accident grave. Plusieurs scenarii sont envisagés faisant suite à une séquence impliquant la perte totale des sources en alimentation électrique externe et conduisant à une forte montée en température et en pression à l’intérieur de l’enceinte. Dans de telles conditions, l’objectif des études EPS2 est de quantifier les risques liés aux exigences de sûreté fondamentale attribuée aux enceintes de confinement et de hiérarchiser les modes de défaillance. Dans ce papier, nous nous intéressons particulièrement aux calculs de fragilité (probabilité conditionnelle de défaillance à des chargements thermomécanique d’accident grave donné) alimentant les EPS2 précédentes. Ainsi, ce papier présente une démarche générale de propagation d’incertitudes lors de la prévision du comportement thermomécanique des enceintes de confinement à double parois via une modélisation non linéaire du comportement du béton armé et précontraint ; avant de détailler ensuite la démarche de calcul des probabilités conditionnelles par un recours à des techniques de méta modélisation.

description: For systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom, it is shown in [arXiv:hep-th/0303014] that first class constraints are Abelianizable if the Faddeev-Popov determinant is not vanishing for some choice of subsidiary constraints. Here, for irreducible first class constraint systems with SO(3) or SO(4) gauge symmetries, including a subset of coordinates in the fundamental representation of the gauge group, we explicitly determine the Abelianizable and non-Abelianizable classes of constraints. For the Abelianizable class, we explicitly solve the constraints to obtain the equivalent set of Abelian first class constraints. We show that for non-Abelianizable constraints there exist residual gauge symmetries which results in confinement-like phenomena.

description: The fragility curve plays an important role in estimating the structural vulnerability under an earthquake disaster. The zone of the most interest is the fragility curve where failure is rarely occurs. The classical approach is limited by a considerable quantity of epistemic uncertainty, due to the lognormal hypothesis. A second approach, the nonparametric one overcomes this problem. However, it requires Monte Carlo Simulations to estimate the probability of exceedance of the limit state, which can be computationally intensive, to estimate the interest zone of the fragility curve. To overcome this drawback, this work aims to reduce the number of nonlinear response evaluations of the pushover analysis, to estimate the fragility curve by using surrogate modeling updated by adding new samples that best represent the system response, also known as Active Learning Approach. This paper proposes a methodology for calculating failure probabilities of the seismic fragility curve with a considerable reduction of the computational cost.

description: Spin-orbit coupling is a manifestation of special relativity. In the reference frame of a moving electron, electric fields transform into magnetic fields, which interact with the electron spin and lift the degeneracy of spin-up and spin-down states. In solid-state systems, the resulting spin-orbit fields are referred to as Dresselhaus or Rashba fields, depending on whether the electric fields originate from bulk or structure inversion asymmetry, respectively. Yet, it remains a challenge to determine the absolute value of both contributions in a single sample. Here we show that both fields can be measured by optically monitoring the angular dependence of the electrons' spin precession on their direction of movement with respect to the crystal lattice. Furthermore, we demonstrate spin resonance induced by the spin-orbit fields. We apply our method to GaAs/InGaAs quantum-well electrons, but it can be used universally to characterise spin-orbit interactions in semiconductors, facilitating the design of spintronic devices.

description: Many studies proposed machine learning approaches for prediction models analysing the impact factors on recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) compressive strength. However, most machine learning algorithms require a large dataset size for the model's generalisation capability. Few studies have used Bayesian Networks (BNs) based probabilistic inference techniques towards this aim. This paper uses BNs to predict the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete. The BNs approach utilised available data of three input parameters: water-to-cement ratio, aggregate-to-cement ratio, and recycled aggregate replacement ratio to compute the output's prior and posterior probability of RAC's compressive strength. The results highlight the potential applicability of BNs in predicting the compressive strength of RAC.

We describe a dead-time-less implementation of this method on a commercial Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). By virtue of its features, the method offers an excellent solution to the problem of including veto conditions in the first level of trigger for experiments on rare decays.

description: En général, au cours de leurs durées de service, les systèmes tels que les bâtiments, les ponts et les plates-formes offshores deviennent moins fiables et nécessitent des procédures d’inspection/entretien appropriées. Les décideurs sont souvent confrontés au défi de choisir entre des solutions moins coûteuses et d’autres plus efficaces. Pour y parvenir, une meilleure stratégie d'inspection/maintenance doit être élaborée à l'aide d'une méthode d'optimisation de coût de cycle de vie. L'objectif de ce travail est d'aider à la prise de décision en choisissant une solution équilibrant les performances de la structure et son coût de cycle de vie. La stratégie d’optimisation s’applique aux dommages dont l’évolution peut être modélisée au fil du temps. En minimisant le coût total du cycle de vie et en maintenant une fiabilité admissible, la meilleure stratégie d’inspection/réparation est définie. Les variables de décision dans l’optimisation sont le temps auquel les inspections/réparations sont effectuées et le nombre d’inspections, au cours de la durée de vie de la structure. L’effet de plusieurs facteurs est mis en évidence, telles que la qualité de la technique d’inspection, le coût attendu d’une défaillance structurelle, ainsi que les effets des intervalles de temps de contrôle uniformes et non uniformes.

description: We consider the effects of doping the S=3/2 kagome lattice with static, nonmagnetic impurities. By exact diagonalization calculations on small clusters we deduce the local spin correlations and magnetization distribution around a vacancy. As in the S=1/2 kagome lattice, in the vicinity of the impurity we find an extended region where the spin correlations are altered as a consequence of frustation relief, and no indications for the formation of local moments. We discuss the implications of our results for local probe measurements on S=3/2 kagome materials.

description: We investigate the entanglement properties of resonating valence bond states on a two dimensional lattice in the presence of dopants that remove electrons from the lattice creating "holes". The movement of the holes generated by the Hubbard Hamiltonian in the regime of strong Coloumb repulsion in this setting could be responsible for the phenomenon of high temperature superconductivity as hypothesised by Anderson in Science {\bf 235}, 1196, (1987). We argue that there is a particular density of dopants (holes) where the entanglement contained in the lattice attains its maximal value for the nearest-neighbour RVB liquid state.

description: Collecting books throughout his entire career, factors such as library access, location, accommodation, and financial scope determined the growth of the book collection of Francis Llewellyn Griffith (1862-1934), which was to become ‘the finest private Egyptological library in existence’. For teaching and research, he, his students, and the team of the Topographical Bibliography project relied on this library, which would ultimately be part of the joint bequest of Francis and Nora Griffith to the University of Oxford. At first accommodated in the Griffith Institute, and since 2001 in the Sackler Library, it remains adjacent to the Ancient Egypt and Sudan collection in the Ashmolean Museum and continues to allow interdisciplinary research thanks to this direct access to relevant library collections. Griffith had already defined these two prerequisites for the study of Egyptology in his Inaugural Lecture in 1901.

description: Versatile Video Coding (VVC) is the most recent international video coding standard jointly developed by ITU-T and ISO/IEC, which has been finalized in July 2020. VVC allows for significant bit-rate reductions around 50% for the same subjective video quality compared to its predecessor, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). One year after finalization, VVC support in devices and chipsets is still under development, which is aligned with the typical development cycles of new video coding standards. This paper presents open-source software packages that allow building a complete VVC end-to-end toolchain already one year after its finalization. This includes the Fraunhofer HHI VVenC library for fast and efficient VVC encoding as well as HHI's VVdeC library for live decoding. An experimental integration of VVC in the GPAC software tools and FFmpeg media framework allows packaging VVC bitstreams, e.g. encoded with VVenC, in MP4 file format and using DASH for content creation and streaming. The integration of VVdeC allows playback on the receiver. Given these packages, step-by-step tutorials are provided for two possible application scenarios: VVC file encoding plus playback and adaptive streaming with DASH.

Year: 2023

description: La congestion du réseau routier et les pertes de service sont associées aux activités d'entretien et de réparation du réseau. Ce phénomène est fréquent dans les zones urbaines densément peuplées où la congestion des ponts, des autoroutes ou des petites rues a une incidence négative sur les coûts et la pollution liés à l'utilisation d'un véhicule (usure des pneus, entretien, carburant, émissions) et sur les temps de déplacement en raison des détours. Les systèmes actuels de gestion des ponts (par exemple Pontis, Bridgit, Kuba, Danbro, FINNRA) sont basés sur des chaînes de Markov et l'optimisation numérique pour évaluer l'évolution de l'état d'un pont et utilisés pour planifier les activités d'entretien et de réparation sur des structures individuelles indépendamment les unes des autres. Ils négligent les impacts négatifs de ces activités sur le réseau et ses utilisateurs. Cet article présente une procédure pour évaluer l'état d'un réseau routier en fonction de l'état des ponts individuels et de l'impact des fermetures partielles ou complètes des ponts et de l'augmentation des temps de parcours par les utilisateurs. L'impact des fermetures est évalué au moyen d'une procédure qui réaffecte le trafic sur la base de l'équation de Wardrop pour une analyse locale origine-destination des détours de trafic pour chaque pont et évalue les impacts sur les coûts pour les utilisateurs du réseau. L'état général du réseau est déterminé comme une somme pondérée de l'état de chaque pont et des niveaux de trafic. Les évaluations du réseau peuvent être utilisées par les décideurs pour planifier les activités d'entretien et de réparation qui maximisent l'efficacité globale du réseau. La procédure proposée est démontrée pour un réseau de référence de trois ponts à Montréal et divers scénarios de réparation et d'entretien.

description: We describe Spitzer/MIPS observations of the double cluster, h and $χ$ Persei, covering a $\sim$ 0.6 square-degree area surrounding the cores of both clusters. The data are combined with IRAC and 2MASS data to investigate $\sim$ 616 sources from 1.25-24 $μm$. We use the long-baseline $K_{s}$-[24] color to identify two populations with IR excess indicative of circumstellar material: Be stars with 24 $μm$ excess from optically-thin free free emission and 17 fainter sources (J$\sim$ 14-15) with [24] excess consistent with a circumstellar disk. The frequency of IR excess for the fainter sources increases from 4.5 $μm$ through 24 $μm$. The IR excess is likely due to debris from the planet formation process. The wavelength-dependent behavior is consistent with an inside-out clearing of circumstellar disks. A comparison of the 24 $μm$ excess population in h and $χ$ Per sources with results for other clusters shows that 24 $μm$ emission from debris disks 'rises' from 5 to 10 Myr, peaks at $\sim$ 10-15 Myr, and then 'falls' from $\sim$ 15/20 Myr to 1 Gyr.

La connaissance de l’état du patrimoine permet de cibler des typologies d’ouvrages présentant des pathologies récurrentes. Il est alors possible de mettre en avant une classification des ouvrages types regroupant les pathologies courantes, les particularités de calcul et les modes de défaillances associés. Dans cet article, on détaille les problématiques liées à l’évaluation structurale d’ouvrages existants en identifiant des familles de ponts en béton armé et béton précontraint concernées basée sur les guides d’applications et les cas d’études dans la littérature.

description: We report the enhanced transmission of electromagnetic waves through a single subwavelength aperture by making use of the resonance behavior of a split ring resonator (SRR) at microwave frequencies. By placing a single SRR at the near-field of the aperture, strongly localized electromagnetic fields are effectively coupled to the aperture with a radius that is twenty times smaller than the resonance wavelength. We obtained 740-fold transmission enhancement by exciting the electric resonance of SRR. A different coupling mechanism, through the magnetic resonance of SRR, is also verified to yield enhanced transmission. Good agreement is obtained between the microwave measurements and numerical simulations.

Individual differences in children’s response to self- and externally-administrated reward
Creators: name: Tiedemann, Georgia Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Behavioral self-control interventions with children have become increasingly prevalent in clinical research and practice in recent years. Self-reinforcement procedures in particular have been studied extensively, yet little is known about the factors influencing their efficacy. Both developmental and applied research in self-reinforcement indicate that certain characteristics of the child, particularly age, may be usefully studied a.s predictors of response to treatment. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether age and sex of the child were predictive of response to a self-reinforcement intervention, as opposed to external reinforcement. Experimental sessions took place with individual children in a school tutorial room. Sixty children were recruited through three elementary schools and randomly assigned to one of three conditions: Self-reinforcement (scoring their own work and awarding themselves tokens), External reinforcement (the -experimenter scored the work and awarded tokens), and Control (the experimenter scored the work but no tokens were awarded). Children were either 8 or 11 years old, and sex was balanced between conditions. Baseline data were collected on a brief, academic-like task. Children then worked on this task under one of the three conditions, and subsequently completed a Child Satisfaction Questionnaire to assess subjective response to the conditions. Data on both task and temporal generalization were collected. Locus of control and academic achievement data were also collected for each child. The number of correct responses on the experimental tasks were examined by analysis of covariance, using baseline performance as the covariate. Age was not differentially predictive of either immediate or generalized response' to the reinforcement conditions. Boys showed superior performance in the Self-reinforcement condition as compared to External and Control; girls' performance was not different between conditions. Children in the External condition showed superior overall performance on a generalization task. Questionnaire reponses did not correlate with task performance or questionnaire responses. The results indicate that, in a brief analogue intervention, the age of a child is not an important predictor of outcome. Girls and boys, however, may react differently to more or less adult control of a token reinforcement system. Directions for future parametric research of self-reinforcement procedures are discussed.

description: We measure the resistivity and Hall angle of the electron-doped superconductor Pr_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_4 as a function of doping and temperature. The resistivity Rho_xx at temperatures 100K < T < 300K is mostly sensitive to the electrons. Its temperature behavior is doping independent over a wide doping range and even for non superconducting samples. On the other hand,the transverse resistivity rho_xy, or the Hall angle theta_H where cot(theta_H) = rho_xx/rho_xy, is sensitive to both holes and electrons. Its temperature dependence is strongly influenced by doping, and cot(theta_H) can be used to identify optimum doping (the maximum Tc) even well above the critical temperature. These results lead to a conclusion that in electron doped cuprates holes are responsible for the superconductivity.

description: La gestion des inondations est un enjeu majeur pour de nombreux territoires. Cependant, les stratégies de gestion de ce risque sont souvent peu performantes car elles ne sont pas pensées dans un cadre multicritère, sur le long terme et en impliquant les citoyens. Pour répondre à cet enjeu, nous avons conçu un jeu sérieux Sim-MANA basé sur un modèle multi-agent (MANA-Flo) visant à sensibiliser un groupe de participants à la gestion de ce risque en intégrant une grande variété de solutions structurelles (digue, noues, végétalisation, délocalisation…). Les joueurs, qui incarnent chacun un rôle, doivent discuter et négocier pour choisir des projets sur leur territoire qui sont alors évalués sur plusieurs critères au travers du modèle MANA-Flo qui permet de simuler une inondation. Différents éléments matériels tels qu’une maquette 3D du territoire permettent de renforcer l’immersion des joueurs. Un dispositif d’évaluation des apprentissages du jeu a été conçu et des ateliers test seront menés en 2023.

description: We analyse a quantum observer who falls geodesically towards the Cauchy horizon of a $(1+1)$-dimensional eternal black hole spacetime with the global structure of the non-extremal Reissner-Nordström solution. The observer interacts with a massless scalar field, using an Unruh-DeWitt detector coupled linearly to the proper time derivative of the field, and by measuring the local energy density of the field. Taking the field to be initially prepared in the Hartle-Hawking-Israel (HHI) state or the Unruh state, we find that both the detector's transition rate and the local energy density generically diverge on approaching the Cauchy horizon, respectively proportionally to the inverse and the inverse square of the proper time to the horizon, and in the Unruh state the divergences on approaching one of the branches of the Cauchy horizon are independent of the surface gravities. When the outer and inner horizons have equal surface gravities, the divergences disappear altogether in the HHI state and for one of the Cauchy horizon branches in the Unruh state. We conjecture, on grounds of comparison with the Rindler state in $1+1$ and $3+1$ Minkowski spacetimes, that similar properties hold in $3+1$ dimensions for a detector coupled linearly to the quantum field, but with a logarithmic rather than inverse power-law divergence.

description: We develop a martingale approach for studying continuous-time stochastic differential games of control and stopping, in a non-Markovian framework and with the control affecting only the drift term of the state-process. Under appropriate conditions, we show that the game has a value and construct a saddle pair of optimal control and stopping strategies. Crucial in this construction is a characterization of saddle pairs in terms of pathwise and martingale properties of suitable quantities.

The selection of juries for criminal trials in Canada
Creators: name: Trainor, Niall A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: As part of the jury selection process lawyers in Canada are permitted to exclude a significant number of persons from serving on juries. In this thesis it is argued that the norms of the legal system obligate lawyers to choose jurors who would favour their clients' interests. Thus, defence counsel should select those jurors who seem to favour the accused' interest in personal freedom, and Crown, counsel those who seem to favour the state's interest in law and order. Further, it is argued that attributions of juror bias are based on stereotypes, social status, and similarity to the accused. While by no means conclusive, the results of this research provide some support for these contentions. Crown counsel appear to use stereotypes dealing with occupations and wealth in order to select jurors with more conservative tendencies. Defence counsel, on the other hand, seemed to choose more liberal-minded jurors using stereotypes about occupations, wealth, and prior jury experience. Also, defence counsel seemed to prefer low status prospective jurors on the assumption that they would favour the accused. Finally, defence counsel appeared to prefer jurors who are similar to the accused, believing them to be biased in his or her favour. In light of these findings it is argued that the functions that are attributed to the jury need reconsideration. Also, the wisdom of restricting lawyers' access to information about prospective jurors is called into question.

description: Avec l’évolution de la technologie des réseaux de capteurs et l’émergence des méthodes de l’intelligence artificielle pour l’analyse des grandes masses de données, la surveillance de la santé structurale est devenue un outil pratique pour évaluer la sécurité et la performance des structures. Les variations dans les conditions environnementales et opérationnelles sont les facteurs principaux qui causent l’apparition des défauts structuraux. Un effort considérable a été investi dans les approches basées sur les vibrations et l’apprentissage profond. Selon le type de données utilisées pour alimenter le modèle d’apprentissage profond, les approches de détection proposées sont regroupées en deux familles : les approches non paramétriques, et les approches paramétriques. L’approche paramétrique emploie les accélérations pour déterminer les paramètres inconnus de la structure, comme les fréquences propres et les courbures modales. Dans ce cadre, nous avons développé une méthode qui utilise les courbures modales pour entrainer un auto-encodeur profond ; les erreurs de reconstruction du modèle sont exploitées pour identifier et localiser les défauts. La méthode a été validée sur le modèle numérique d’un pont réel. Plusieurs scénarios de défauts avec différents niveaux de gravité ont été testés. Les résultats de détection ont montré que l’auto-encodeur profond entrainé sur les courbures modales de l’état intact, est capable d’identifier et de localiser les désordres lorsque le bruit de mesure est maîtrisé.

description: Using the stellar population synthesis, we model the stellar contribution for a sample of 110 double-peaked broad-lines AGNs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The stellar velocity dispersions ($σ_*$) are obtained for 52 double-peaked AGNs with obvious stellar absorption features, ranging from 106 to 284 \kms. We also use multi-component profiles to fit \OIII $λ\lambda4959,5007$ and H$β$ emission lines. Using the well-established $M_{\rm bh}-σ_*$ relation, the black hole masses are calculated to range from $1.0\times 10^{7}$ to $5.5\times 10^{8}$ $\Msun$, and the Eddington ratio from about 0.01 to about 1. Comparing with the known $R_{\rm BLR}-L$ relation, we can get the factor $f$, which indicates BLRs' geometry, inclination and kinematics. We find that $f$ far deviates from 0.75, suggesting the non-virial dynamics of broad line regions. The peak separation is mildly correlated with the Eddington ratio and SMBH mass with almost the same correlation coefficients. It implies that it is difficult to detect obvious double-peak AGNs with higher Eddington ratios. Using the monochromatic luminosity at 5100Åto trace the bolometric luminosity, we find that the external illumination of the accretion disk is needed to produce the observed strength of H$α$ emission line.

description: Using fiber network as a huge sensing system will enrich monitoring methods of public infrastructures and geological disasters. With traditional cross-correlation method, laser interferometer has been used to detect and localize the vibration event. However, the random error induced by cross-correlation method limits the localization accuracy, and makes it not suitable for ultrahigh precision localizing applications. We propose a novel time shifting deviation (TSDEV) method, which has advantages over cross-correlation method in practicability and localization accuracy. Three experiments are carried out to demonstrate the novelty of the TSDEV method. In lab test, vibration localization accuracy of ~2.5 m is realized. In field tests, TSDEV method enhanced interferometry is applied to monitor the urban fiber link. Traffic vibration events on the campus road and Beijing ring road have been precisely localized and analyzed, respectively. The proposed technique will extend the function of existing urban fiber network, and better serve the future smart city.

description: Dorcus mexicanus Examination of the type specimens of D. mexicanus revealed that they are Dorcus parallelipipedus (L.), a Palearctic species. The identical male genitalia (Fig. 11), protruding clypeus of males, irregularly punctate elytra, and bituberculate frons of the female provide overwhelming evidence to support this conclusion. Thus, the name D. mexicanus Benesh is here reduced to a synonym of D. parallelipipedus (new synonymy). Coincidentally, I encountered a second pair of D. parallelipipedus recently accessioned at the FMNH that bore handwritten labels indicating “ Mexico, Nuevo Leon, Monterey (sic), Aug 1976 ”. The presence of a second, more recent pair of D. parallelipipedus from Mexico at first suggested that the species might be introduced there. However, on further examination I found that other handwritten locality labels of the same style from the accessioned collection were erroneous (with incorrect countries). While it is not impossible that the species is adventive in Mexico, it is more likely given the nomenclatural history of Dorcus that the common D. parallelipipedus has been mislabeled in these two instances.

description: For loose saturated sand, when subjected to static loading in undrained condition, the pore water pressure inside the soil tends to increase and the effective stress tends to decrease to zero resulting in the degradation of the soil structure, this phenomenon is called static liquefaction. Although static liquefaction has been studied for decades, it is still necessary to have a better understanding about this kind of soil behavior and its effect on the structure safety. In this research paper, the NorSand model was used to evaluate the static liquefaction of Hostun sand RF. The input parameters of the model were determined based on the experimental data. After that, the triaxial paradigm was built to modelized the triaxial experimental test. And then, the modeling sample was subjected to static loading until reaching the axial strain of 30%. This process gives the clear observation of the degradation of the modeling sample with the variation of deviator stress, pore water pressure in function of deformation development. The results show that under static loading, the deviator stress of the modeling sample reaches the maximum at very small axial strain, after that, the deviator stress decreases to almost 0 corresponding to degradation of soil structure. The modeling sample was liquefied at the end of loading process with zero effective stress condition. The results also present the input parameters for NorSand model which give the suitable fitting between the modeling and experimental results. Thereafter, the effect of relative density uncertainties on the soil degradation was studied. The model predictions show that for fully saturated loose sandy soil, maybe there is a critical value for the relative density, and when the relative density is greater than this value, the degradation on the soil structure will not occur. Finally, NorSand model can provide a theoretical basis for the design of structures with considering the uncertainties on soil parameters.
