Neoperla bilineata

description: Neoperla bilineata Wu & Claassen, 1934
 ( Fig. 6)
 Neoperla bilineata Wu & Claassen, 1934: 120. Type locality: Sichuan (Suifu).
 Complementary description. Head and terminalia agree well with original description and illustrations (Figs. 6 a & 6b). Aedeagus (Figs. 6 c–e): Aedeagal tube straight, with usual basoventral and dorsal sclerites (Figs. 6 c–d). Aedeagal sac membranous but with heavily sclerotized ventrolateral strip subapically (Figs. 6 d & 6e). Sac about as long as tube and apical half slightly curved ventrally blunt angle to tube in ventral face (Fig. 6 d); lateral surface of sac with a large patch of numerous small spines except dorsal surface at base and marginal area of apex (Fig. 6 e); most are medium-sized spines with neighboring lateral patches of granules at subapical and basal areas (Fig. 6 e).
 Material examined. Holotype and 1 female paratype (with an allotype label) (USNM), China: Szechuan, Suifu, (Sichuan, Yibin) no date, D.C. Graham (Type No. 55238). Paratypes: 2 males, China: Szechuan, Kwan-hsien (Guanxian, now Dujiangyan), 3000 feet, 1930. IV.5–V.8, D.C. Graham.
 Diagnosis and remarks. The species is a member of the N. montivaga group and similar to N. nigromarginata Li and Zhang, 2014, a species recently described from Henan Province, China. It is easily separated from that species by having a relatively straight aedeagal sac with swollen apex in male and an elongate, rod-like subgenital plate in the female (Figs. 6 d–e, 7b). In N. nigromarginata Li and Zhang, the male aedeagal sac is curved ventrally nearly forming a right angle to tube, and the subgenital plate of female is very short forming a small dark tab (figs. 1f & 2b, Li and Zhang 2014).

description: We extend the framework of combinatorial model categories, so that the category of small presheaves over large indexing categories and ind-categories would be embraced by the new machinery called class-combinatorial model categories. The definition of the new class of model categories is based on the corresponding extension of the theory of locally presentable and accessible categories developed in the companion paper [arXiv:1110.0605], where we introduced the concepts of locally class-presentable and class-accessible categories. In this work we prove that the category of weak equivalences of a nice class-combinatorial model category is class-accessible. Our extension of J. Smith localization theorem depends on the verification of a cosolution-set condition. The deepest result is that the (left Bousfield) localization of a class-combinatorial model category with respect to a strongly class-accessible localization functor is class-combinatorial again.

Lexical skills in bilingual children with autism spectrum disorder
Creators: name: Petersen, Jill Maria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Bilingual families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are often advised to reduce language input or to completely drop one language when communicating with their child. While research has explored the impact of bilingualism on the language development of children with language impairments, there is very limited research available on bilingualism and the ASD population. Lexical development is a focus of early language intervention and an accurate measure of language development. Therefore, studying lexical diversity in bilingual children with ASD is a valuable contribution to our knowledge of language development in this population. This study investigated the lexical production skills of bilingual English-Chinese and monolingual English preschool-age children with ASD, primarily using Communication Development Inventories (Fenson, Dale, Reznick, Thal, Bates, Hartung, Pethick, & Reilly, 1993; Tardif & Fletcher, 2008). Participant use of nouns, verbs, and mental state terms was also explored. In addition, vocabulary comprehension, overall language skills, and nonverbal skills were assessed. Results revealed that bilingual and monolingual participants had equivalent English production vocabularies, and that bilinguals had larger conceptual production vocabularies than monolinguals. The groups did not differ in the number of English mental state words produced. Bilingual participants had a larger number of verbs in their conceptual production vocabularies, and were found to have higher vocabulary comprehension scores and higher language scores. When comparing the two languages of the bilingual participants, there were no significant differences in the size of production vocabularies, vocabulary comprehension scores, or the number of mental-state words produced. The results from this study suggest that bilingual English-Chinese preschool-age children with ASD have the capacity to be bilingual.

description: My thesis explored the perspectives of individuals working in programs aimed at men and boys. These programs sought to change the harmful outcomes of masculine norms on men and women. By exploring these perspectives, I was able to provide a more nuanced understanding of how change with men and boys can be promoted. My findings demonstrate that a key way to promote change is for those working with men and boys to be more critical about how they understand masculinity and to reconsider why they understand masculinity in that way.

description: We investigate the conditional vorticity budget of fully developed three-dimensional homogeneous isotropic turbulence with respect to coherent and incoherent flow contributions. The Coherent Vorticity Extraction based on orthogonal wavelets allows to decompose the vorticity field into coherent and incoherent contributions, of which the latter are noise-like. The impact of the vortex structures observed in fully developed turbulence on statistical balance equations is quantified considering the conditional vorticity budget. The connection between the basic structures present in the flow and their statistical implications is thereby assessed. The results are compared to those obtained for large- and small-scale contributions using a Fourier decomposition, which reveals pronounced differences.

description: We present photometry of four transits of the planetary system HAT-P-13, obtained using defocussed telescopes. We analyse these, plus nine datasets from the literature, in order to determine the physical properties of the system. The mass and radius of the star are M_A = 1.320 +/- 0.048 +/- 0.039 Msun and R_A = 1.756 +/- 0.043 +/- 0.017 Rsun (statistical and systematic errorbars). We find the equivalent quantities for the transiting planet to be M_b = 0.906 +/- 0.024 +/- 0.018 Mjup and R_b = 1.487 +/- 0.038 +/- 0.015 Rjup, with an equilibrium temperature of 1725 +/- 31 K. Compared to previous results, which were based on much sparser photometric data, we find the star to be more massive and evolved, and the planet to be larger, hotter and more rarefied. The properties of the planet are not matched by standard models of irradiated gas giants. Its large radius anomaly is in line with the observation that the hottest planets are the most inflated, but at odds with the suggestion of inverse proportionality to the [Fe/H] of the parent star. We assemble all available times of transit midpoint and determine a new linear ephemeris. Previous findings of transit timing variations in the HAT-P-13 system are shown to disagree with these measurements, and can be attributed to small-number statistics.

Force propagation in isostatic granular packs

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate how forces spread through frictionless granular packs at the jamming transition. Previous work has indicated that such packs are isostatic, and thus obey a null stress law which, independent of the packing history, causes rays of stress to propagate away from a point force at oblique angles. Prior verifications of the null stress law have used a sequential packing method which yields packs with anisotropic packing histories. We create packs without this anisotropy, and then later break the symmetry by adding a boundary. Our isotropic packs are very sensitive, and their responses to point forces diverge wildly, indicating that they cannot be described by any continuum stress model. We stabilize the packs by supplying an additional boundary, which makes the response much more regular. The response of the stabilized packs resembles what one would expect in a hyperstatic pack, despite the isostatic bulk. The expected stress rays characteristic of null stress behavior are not present. This suggests that isostatic packs do not need to obey a null stress condition. We argue that the rays may arise instead from more simple geometric considerations, such as preferred contact angles between beads.

 Neoperla microtumida Wu & Claassen, 1934: 123. Type locality: China: Sichuan (between Kiating and Yachow).
 Material examined. Holotype (USNM), China: Szechuan, between Kiating and Yachow, 1300–1500 ft, July 2–4 1930, D.C. Graham (No. 119).
 Diagnosis and remarks. This species was redescribed based on a similar male from Thailand (Stark 1987). The holotype is badly faded. The aedeagus (Fig. 8 c) is broken at base and impossible to successfully evert. However, our examination confirms the original illustration of the aedeagus (fig. 19, Wu and Claassen 1934). The aedeagal sac is ca. half as long as tube and has a row of ca. 4–5 distinct spines on each lateral side (our illustration, fig. 8c, is taken from dorsal or ventral view, so the armatures are paired). The Thailand specimen clearly has a longer aedeagal sac and lacks the spinous lateral rows present in the aedeagal sac of the holotype. Therefore, this specimen apparently belongs to another species (fig. 3, Stark 1987).

description: While the SUSY flavor, CP and gravitino problems seem to favor a very heavy spectrum of matter scalars, fine-tuning in the electroweak sector prefers low values of superpotential mass μ. In the limit of low μ, the two lightest neutralinos and light chargino are higgsino-like. The light charginos and neutralinos may have large production cross sections at LHC, but since they are nearly mass degenerate, there is only small energy release in three-body sparticle decays. Possible dilepton and trilepton signatures are difficult to observe after mild cuts due to the very soft p_T spectrum of the final state isolated leptons. Thus, the higgsino-world scenario can easily elude standard SUSY searches at the LHC. It should motivate experimental searches to focus on dimuon and trimuon production at the very lowest p_T(μ) values possible. If the neutralino relic abundance is enhanced via non-standard cosmological dark matter production, then there exist excellent prospects for direct or indirect detection of higgsino-like WIMPs. While the higgsino-world scenario may easily hide from LHC SUSY searches, a linear e^+e^- collider or a muon collider operating in the \sqrt{s}\sim 0.5-1 TeV range would be able to easily access the chargino and neutralino pair production reactions.

description: In temporal networks, both the topology of the underlying network and the timings of interaction events can be crucial in determining how some dynamic process mediated by the network unfolds. We have explored the limiting case of the speed of spreading in the SI model, set up such that an event between an infectious and susceptible individual always transmits the infection. The speed of this process sets an upper bound for the speed of any dynamic process that is mediated through the interaction events of the network. With the help of temporal networks derived from large scale time-stamped data on mobile phone calls, we extend earlier results that point out the slowing-down effects of burstiness and temporal inhomogeneities. In such networks, links are not permanently active, but dynamic processes are mediated by recurrent events taking place on the links at specific points in time. We perform a multi-scale analysis and pinpoint the importance of the timings of event sequences on individual links, their correlations with neighboring sequences, and the temporal pathways taken by the network-scale spreading process. This is achieved by studying empirically and analytically different characteristic relay times of links, relevant to the respective scales, and a set of temporal reference models that allow for removing selected time-domain correlations one by one.
Weighted Extremal Domains and Best Rational Approximation

description: Let f be holomorphically continuable over the complex plane except for finitely many branch points contained in the unit disk. We prove that best rational approximants to f of degree n, in the L^2-sense on the unit circle, have poles that asymptotically distribute according to the equilibrium measure on the compact set outside of which f is single-valued and which has minimal Green capacity in the disk among all such sets. This provides us with n-th root asymptotics of the approximation error. By conformal mapping, we deduce further estimates in approximation by rational or meromorphic functions to f in the L^2-sense on more general Jordan curves encompassing the branch points. The key to these approximation-theoretic results is a characterization of extremal domains of holomorphy for f in the sense of a weighted logarithmic potential, which is the technical core of the paper.

description: We have engineered an antiferromagnetic domain wall by utilizing a magnetic frustration effect of a thin iron cap layer deposited on a chromium film. Through lithography and wet etching we selectively remove areas of the Fe cap layer to form a patterned ferromagnetic mask over the Cr film. Removing the Fe locally removes magnetic frustration in user-defined regions of the Cr film. We present x-ray microdiffraction microscopy results confirming the formation of a 90° spin-density wave propagation domain wall in Cr. This domain wall nucleates at the boundary defined by our Fe mask.

description: We have successfully synthesized a new layered iron oxychalcogenide BaFe2OSe2 single crystal. This compound is built up of Ba and Fe-Se(O) layers alternatively stacked along the c-axis. The Fe-Se(O) layers contain double chains of edge-shared Fe-Se(O) tetrahedra that propagate along the b-axis and are bridged by oxygen along the a-axis. Physical property measurements indicate that BaFe2OSe2 is a semiconductor without the Curie-Weiss behavior up to 350 K. There is a possible long range antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition at 240 K, corresponding to the peak in specific heat measurement and two glassy transitions at 115 K and 43 K. The magnetic entropy up to 300 K is much smaller than the expected value for Fe2+ in tetrahedral crystal fields and Mosbauer spectrum indicates that long range magnetic order is unlikely at 294 K. Both results suggest that a short range magnetic correlations exist above the room temperature.

We discuss similarities and differences between the strong-magnetic-field weak-disorder physics of the two trilayer cases, and between trilayer and bilayer cases. These differences can be used to identify the stacking order of high-quality trilayer samples by studying their quantum Hall effects.

Inside present-day Hong Kong parents' minds : what values, beliefs, attitudes, and expectations do they hold regarding young children's development and education? A case for Reggio Emilia in Hong Kong.
Creators: name: Lee, Angela Po Ki
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The compatibility between present-day Hong Kong parents’ thinking and the values of Reggio Emilia— an Italian approach to preschool education— was explored in this study. Surveys were administered to 74 parents whose child attended a preschool program at the time of study and follow-up interviews were conducted with nine parents. Eight topics were covered, including: (a) image of the child and learner, (b) expectations of child’s education and development, (c) ideal child characteristics, (d) appreciation for art and beauty in education, (e) conception of the role of early childhood education, (f) attitude toward parent participation in schools, (g) parents’ current experience and views on learning outcomes, and (h) parents’ reaction toward a Reggio project. Participants’ level of education attainment, household income, and prior overseas experiences were also examined in relation to the results. Overall, parents’ images of children and learners were mostly congruent with the Reggio images, and conceptions of Hong Kong parents’ fixation on homework and achievement were not supported by the data. Parents believed that being engaged in the subject and having opportunities to ask questions were essential to effective learning. The importance of pre-academic skills paled in comparison with language skills, social skills with peers, and other qualities such as self-confidence, curiosity, and ability to express oneself. The value of art in fostering creativity and stimulating children’s thinking was appreciated. Interviewed parents were greatly impressed by the Reggio project, calling it an “ideal way of learning”. They believed the activity was not only fun but made learning more memorable because children could experience things first-hand and make meaning by themselves. Regarding transition to primary school, parents expressed their feelings of helplessness; they did not want to pressure their child, and yet they felt they had no choice if their child were to study in a local primary school. Parents’ moderate level of satisfaction with children’s current learning outcomes also deserves attention. The results suggest that Hong Kong parents straddle Eastern and Western values, and they would welcome Reggio practices if appropriate adaptations are in place. Implications of the results are discussed and future directions are proposed.

 Neoperla truncata Wu, 1948: 77. Type locality: China: Sichuan (His-K’ang, T’ien-ch’uan).
 Diagnosis and remarks. This species is readily recognized by the uniformly and moderately sclerotized aedeagus, and a row of distinct spines in dorsal, ventral and lateral aspects in males and very large rounded subgenital plate (figs. 5–7, Wu 1948). It is a possible member of N. clymene species group due to the uniformly sclerotized aedeagus, but that requires confirmation. This species is known only from the type series, collected in Tienchuan, Hsikang, now Tianquan County of Sichuan Province. Holotype, allotype and paratypes were deposited in Yenching University Collection, Beijing, China, but must be considered lost. We have no available specimens from Tianquan from our recent Sichuan Province collections. Hopefully, in the future typotypic material will become available.

description: We present measurements on plasmonic meta-molecules under local excitation using cathodoluminescence which show a spatial redistribution of the local density of optical states (LDOS) at the same frequency where a sharp spectral Fano-feature in the extinction cross section has been observed. Our analytical model shows that both near- and far-field effects arise due to interference of the same two eigenmodes of the system. We present quantitative insights both in a bare state, and in a dressed state picture that describe plasmonic Fano interference either as near-field amplitude transfer between three coupled bare states, or as interference of two uncoupled eigenmodes in the far field. We identify the same eigenmode causing a dip in extinction to strongly enhance the radiative LDOS, making it a promising candidate for spontaneous emission control.

description: Discussion of scholar papers published until end of June and beginning of July, 2020, on Ivermectin, and of news that we can find about its use for Covid-19. A list of clinical trials is also given. For what concerns scholar papers, we report among them a preprint posted on 10 June in MedRχiv, which concludes that Ivermectin was associated with lower mortality during treatment of Covid-19. From news, we consider in particular the case of Iquitos, capital city of the Loreto Region in Peru, where, by May 25, Covid-19 cases and deaths had dropped notably. The formulation of ivermectin used in Peru is also discussed, in particular that of the oral solution disclosed by the Peruvian Government.

Subjects: Incentive alignment, delegation of stocking decisions, asymmetric information

description: Headquarters of a retailer delegates stocking decisions to store managers at its various stores. Store managers have complete information of the local demand process, whereas headquarters has partial information. The problem is how to incentivize the managers to make stocking decisions that minimizes headquarters' expected overage and underage costs. We investigate performance measurement schemes in which headquarters incite store managers make stocking decisions in headquarters' best interests using their private information. Adopting such schemes helps retailers reduce stock-outs and attain desired service levels across their stores. Headquarters knows that the underlying demand process at a store for a product over a replenishment cycle is one of J possible Wiener demand processes, whereas store manager knows the specific process with certainty. Store manager creates a single order before the cycle. Headquarters use an incentive scheme which is based on the end-of-period leftover inventory and on a stock-out occasion at a pre-specified inspection time {\it before} the end of a period. Headquarters' problem to determine the inspection time and relative importance of stock-outs to leftover stock is formulated as a constrained non-linear optimization problem in a single period setting and a dynamic program in a multi-period setting. The proposed ``early inspection'' scheme leads to perfect alignment under certain conditions. Under more general conditions, it provides a near-perfect alignment and performs strictly better than stock-out inspection at the end. Using historical sales data of a retailer, we show that this scheme can lead to considerable cost reduction. Even though attaining high on-shelf availability is crucial in retail, stock-out related measures are not reflected in store managers' performance scorecards. We prescribe a novel, easy and practical method for headquarters with which they can increase on-shelf-availability by relying on their store managers' private demand information. The proposed method decidedly outperforms the computer aided ordering systems that are commonly used in practice.

description: We present the preparation and deterministic delivery of a selectable number of externally cold molecular ions. A laser cooled ensemble of Mg^+ ions subsequently confined in several linear Paul traps inter-connected via a quadrupole guide serves as a cold bath for a single or up to a few hundred molecular ions. Sympathetic cooling embeds the molecular ions in the crystalline structure. MgH^+ ions, that serve as a model system for a large variety of other possible molecular ions, are cooled down close to the Doppler limit and are positioned with an accuracy of one micrometer. After the production process, severely compromising the vacuum conditions, the molecular ion is efficiently transfered into nearly background-free environment. The transfer of a molecular ion between different traps as well as the control of the molecular ions in the traps is demonstrated. Schemes, optimized for the transfer of a specific number of ions, are realized and their efficiencies are evaluated. This versatile source applicable for broad charge-to-mass ratios of externally cold and precisely positioned molecular ions can serve as a container-free target preparation device well suited for diffraction or spectroscopic measurements on individual molecular ions at high repetition rates (kHz).

description: In this paper, we provide a mechanism of decoherence suppression for open quantum systems in general, and that for "Schrodinger cat-like" state in particular, through the strong couplings to non-Markovian reservoirs. Different from the usual strategies of suppressing decoherence by decoupling the system from the environment in the literatures, here the decoherence suppression employs the strong back-reaction from non-Markovian reservoirs. The mechanism relies on the existence of the singularities (bound states) of the nonequilibrium retarded Green function which completely determines the dissipation and decoherence dynamics of open systems. As an application, we examine the decoherence dynamics of a photonic crystal nanocavity that is coupled to a waveguide. The strong non-Markovian suppression of decoherence for the optical cat state is attained.

description: During flares and coronal mass ejections, energetic electrons from coronal sources typically have very long lifetimes compared to the transit times across the systems, suggesting confinement in the source region. Particle-in-cell simulations are carried out to explore the mechanisms of energetic electron transport from the corona to the chromosphere and possible confinement. We set up an initial system of pre-accelerated hot electrons in contact with ambient cold electrons along the local magnetic field, and let it evolve over time. Suppression of transport by a nonlinear, highly localized electrostatic electric field (in the form of a double layer) is observed after a short phase of free-streaming by hot electrons. The double layer (DL) emerges at the contact of the two electron populations. It is driven by an ion-electron streaming instability due to the drift of the back-streaming return current electrons interacting with the ions. The DL grows over time and supports a significant drop in temperature and hence reduces heat flux between the two regions that is sustained for the duration of the simulation. This study shows transport suppression begins when the energetic electrons start to propagate away from a coronal acceleration site. It also implies confinement of energetic electrons with kinetic energies less than the electrostatic energy of the DL for the DL lifetime, which is much longer than the electron transit time through the source region.

description: A basic property of objects, like galaxies and halos that form in cosmological structure formation simulations, is their shape. Here, we critically investigate shape determination methods that are commonly used in the literature. It is found that using an enclosed integration volume and weight factors r^{-2} and r_{ell}^{-2} (elliptical radius) for the contribution of each particle or volume element in the shape tensor leads to biased axis ratios and smoothing of details when calculating the local shape as a function of distance from the center. To determine the local shape of matter distributions as a function of distance for well resolved objects (typically more than O(10^4) particles), we advocate a method that (1) uses an ellipsoidal shell (homoeoid) as an integration volume without any weight factors in the shape tensor and (2) removes subhalos.

The enigma of the snowshoe hare population cycle: explaining the low phase through stress and maternal programming
Creators: name: Sheriff, Michael J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The snowshoe hare cycle has been fundamental to the development of ecological theory for more than half a century. Though these cycles have been intensively studied for over 70 years it is still unknown what mechanism causes young born in the decline to have much lower fitness than those born in the increase and peak phase and why the hare population remains low for 2-5 years after the decline phase even though the predator populations have collapsed and there is ample vegetation. My doctoral studies investigated how the risk of predation affected maternal stress and whether this would result directly in a decline in reproduction and indirectly, through maternal effects, in a decline in offspring physiology and fitness. To study the impact of predator-induced maternal stress I used a natural monitoring study and an experimental manipulation. In the former, I examined hares throughout the cycle and found that their stress levels were directly related to predator pressure, being greatest during the decline. During the low phase stress levels remained elevated at levels similar to those found at the peak when reproduction starts to decline. Lastly, I found that the variation in the length of the low phase (2-5 years) was related to the rate of loss of hares during the decline phase. In the experimental manipulation, pregnant hares were exposed to a simulated predator for 1 min. every other day for the last third of gestation. I found that an increase in predator-induced maternal stress resulted in a decline in litter size, birth weight, and birth size. Furthermore, these offspring had a compromised stress-axis resulting in higher baseline stress levels and an enhanced stress response. This occurred both at weaning and when the offspring were adult size. My results show that hares are highly sensitive to predation risk and that maternal stress results in a decrease in reproduction and also compromises their offspring’s stress physiology. These results support the hypothesis that the low phase of the population cycle is the result of the impact of inter-generationally inherited maternal stress caused by the high risk of predation during the decline.

description: Design of a muon collider interaction region (IR) presents a number of challenges arising from low β* < 1 cm, correspondingly large beta-function values and beam sizes at IR magnets, as well as the necessity to protect superconducting magnets and collider detectors from muon decay products. As a consequence, the designs of the IR optics, magnets and machine-detector interface are strongly interlaced and iterative. A consistent solution for the 1.5 TeV c.o.m. muon collider IR is presented. It can provide an average luminosity of 1034 cm-2s-1 with an adequate protection of magnet and detector components.

description: Consideration is given to the methods of gaining experimental data on the substances which constitute a part of multicomponent samples to be measured. The methods are applicable to the samples comprising an arbitrary number of components; their use is not restricted to single-type experiments only. The application of the methods is demonstrated with an example of obtaining the spectra of electrons scattered by 6Li and 7Li nuclei, which were measured from two targets having different isotopic compositions. As a result of the proposed methods, spectra were obtained for the electrons scattered by the nuclei of each of the constituent isotopes, as if the experiment were made on isotopically pure targets.

description: In this study, a new method is presented to classify flares derived from the photoelectric photometry of UV Ceti type stars. This method is based on statistical analyses using an independent samples t-test. The data used in analyses were obtained from four flare stars observed between 2004 and 2007. The total number of flares obtained in the observations of AD Leo, EV Lac, EQ Peg, and V1054 Oph is 321 in the standard Johnson U band. As a result flares can be separated into two types, slow and fast, depending on the ratio of flare decay time to flare rise time. The ratio is below 3.5 for all slow flares, while it is above 3.5 for all fast flares. Also, according to the independent samples t-test, there is a difference of about 157 s between equivalent durations of slow and fast flares. In addition, there are significant differences between amplitudes and rise times of slow and fast flares.

description: Autoionization of Rydberg states of HfF, prepared using the optical-optical double resonance (OODR) technique, holds promise to create HfF+ in a particular Zeeman level of a rovibronic state for an electron electric dipole moment (eEDM) search. We characterize a vibronic band of Rydberg HfF at 54 cm-1 above the lowest ionization threshold and directly probe the state of the ions formed from this vibronic band by performing laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) on the ions. The Rydberg HfF molecules show a propensity to decay into only a few ion rotational states of a given parity and are found to preserve their orientation qualitatively upon autoionization. We show empirically that we can create 30% of the total ion yield in a particular |J+,M+> state and present a simplified model describing autoionization from a given Rydberg state that assumes no angular dynamics.
