Dohrniphora acarinata

description: Dohrniphora acarinata sp. n.
(Figs 125–126)
 Species recognition. This species is one of the few D. angularis -group species lacking a dorsal carina on the hind femur; the others are D. brunneifrons and D. wangae, both of which have large hind tibial setae. The elongate peglike setae in D. acarinata further separate it from these other two species.
Description. Body length: 1.81–2.31 mm. Head: Frons dark brown, second row of setae concave. Flagellomere 1 rounded-oval, brown. Palpus of normal size, light brown. Thorax: Scutum light brown. Scutellum light brown, with 2 pairs of setae; anterior seta one-half length of posterior seta. Pleuron with anepisternum and proepisternum brown, rest of pleuron light brown. Mean costal length 0.48 wing length. Halter yellow. Legs yellowish-brown. Forecoxa in lateral view yellow. Foretibia with 4–5 dorsal setae. Foretarsomeres slender, elongate. Midcoxa brown. Hind coxa yellow. Hind coxal lobe yellow, short, narrow, dorsally curved. Posterior face of hind femur with basal elongate group of relatively elongate peglike setae; more distally with brown-colored, square ventral concavity (Figs 125–126). Abdomen: Abdominal tergite 1 light brown, tergites 2–6 dark brown with lighter posterior seam. Venter of abdomen yellow, with sparse setae. Male terminalia with epandrium yellowish-brown, hypandrium brown, and cercus yellow.
Distribution. Known from a single site in Amazonian Colombia.
Derivation of specific epithet. From Latin for without carina, referring to the lack of a dorsal carina on the hind femur.

description: Estimates of the total losses of the Austro-Hungarian armed forces range from 1.1 to 1.2 million in addition to 450,000 deceased prisoners of war and 300,000 soldiers who stayed missed after war. The number of direct and indirect civilian losses is completely unknown. The reduction of population in East Galicia between 1910 (last Austrian census) and 1921 (first Polish census) hints at direct civilian losses on the Eastern Front. Indirect losses for Austria-Hungary can be estimated at 460,000 caused by famine, cold, and epidemics (the Spanish flu additionally caused 250,000 victims). The effects of First World War were lingering: especially in the Austrian Republic, undernourishment and poverty remained a problem.

description: We study the non linear response of current-transport in a superconducting diffusive nanowire between normal reservoirs. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally the existence of two different superconducting states appearing when the wire is driven out of equilibrium by an applied bias, called global and bimodal superconducting state. The different states are identified by using two probe measurements of the wire, and measurements of the local density of states with tunneling probes. The analysis is performed within the framework of the quasiclassical kinetic equations for diffusive superconductors.

description: We used machine learning approaches to develop a proprietary algorithm for clustering and classification of the accessions in NCRPIS population into six subsets, to evaluate the influence of sub-setting based on population structure on genomic prediction accuracies.
The data from each subset was used for evaluation of genomic prediction accuracy versus itself as well as versus all other subsets-as prediction sets.
To evaluate algorithmic accuracy and bias, we have run several  genomic prediction algorithms in a five-fold cross validation scheme to generate predictions for each individual in the prediction set, and evaluated the resulting distribution of predictions for accuracy and bias.
We have observed a wide range of variation in algorithmic bias and accuracy within and across training-prediction pairs when different genetic architectures were simulated.

description: We introduce a Monte Carlo scheme based on sampling of Pfaffians to investigate Anderson's resonating-valence-bond (RVB) spin liquid wave function on the kagome and the triangular lattice. This eliminates a sign problem that prevents utilization of the valence bond basis in Monte Carlo studies for non-bipartite lattices. Studying lattice sizes of up to 600 sites, we calculate singlet-singlet and spin-spin correlations, and demonstrate how the lattice symmetry is restored within each topological sector as the system size is increased. Our findings are consistent with the expectation that the nearest neighbor RVB states describe a topological spin liquid on these non-bipartite lattices.

description: A multiconfiguration microscopic method has been applied with the Gogny effective interaction to the calculation of low-lying positive-parity states in even-even $^{26-28}$Si isotopes. The aim of the study is to compare the results of this approach with those of a standard method of GCM type and to get insight into the predictive power of multiconfiguration methods employed with effective nucleon-nucleon force taylored to mean-field calculations. It is found that the multiconfiguration approach leads to an excellent description of the low-lying spectroscopy of $^{26}$Si, $^{28}$Si and $^{32}$Si, but gives a systematic energy shift in $^{30}$Si. A careful analysis of this phenomenon shows that this discrepancy originates from too large matrix elements in the proton-neutron residual interaction supplied by the Gogny interaction. Finally, a statistical analysis of highly excited configurations in $^{28}$Si is performed, revealing exponential convergence in agreement with previous work in the context of the shell model approach. This latter result provides strong arguments towards an implicit treatment of highly excited configurations.

description: The important benefits of ultrafine-grained (UFG) alloys for various applications stem from their enhanced superplastic properties. However, decreasing the temperature of superplasticity and providing superplastic forming at lower temperatures and higher strain rates is still a priority. Here, we disclose, for the first time, the mechanism by which grain boundary sliding and rotation are enhanced, when UFG materials have grain boundary segregation of specific alloying elements. Such an approach enables achieving superplasticity in commercial Al alloys at ultralow homologous temperatures below 0.5 (i.e. below 200°C), which is important for developing new efficient technologies for manufacturing complex-shaped metallic parts with enhanced service properties. For the first time, ultralow-temperature superplasticity is found in commercial 7xxx Al alloy. This discovery enables the development of new technologies for the superplastic forming of complex-shaped products with enhanced service properties.

description: A phase space theory approach for treating dynamical behaviour of Bose-Einstein condensates applicable to situations such as interferometry with BEC in time-dependent double well potentials is presented. Time-dependent mode functions are used, chosen so that one, two,.. highly occupied modes describe well the physics of interacting condensate bosons in time dependent potentials at well below the transition temperature. Time dependent mode annihilation, creation operators are represented by time dependent phase variables, but time independent total field annihilation, creation operators are represented by time independent field functions. Two situations are treated, one (mode theory) is where specific mode annihilation, creation operators and their related phase variables and distribution functions are dealt with, the other (field theory) is where only field creation, annihilation operators and their related field functions and distribution functionals are involved. The paper focuses on the hybrid approach, where the modes are divided up between condensate (highly occupied) modes and non-condensate (sparsely occupied) modes. It is found that there are extra terms in the Ito stochastic equations both for the stochastic phases and stochastic fields, involving coupling coefficients defined via overlap integrals between mode functions and their time derivatives. For the hybrid approach both the Fokker-Planck and functional Fokker-Planck equations differ from those derived via the correspondence rules, the drift vectors are unchanged but the diffusion matrices contain additional terms involving the coupling coefficients. Results are also presented for the combined approach where all the modes are treated as one set.

Crop yield forecasting on the Canadian Prairies by satellite data and machine learning methods
Creators: name: Johnson, Michael David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The production of grain crops plays an important role in the economy of the Canadian Prairies and early reliable crop yield forecasts over large areas would help policy makers and grain marketing agencies in planning for exports. Forecast models developed from satellite data have the potential to provide quantitative and timely information on agricultural crops over large areas. The use of nonlinear modeling techniques from the field of machine learning could improve crop forecasting from the linear models most commonly used today. The Canadian Prairies consist of the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and three of the major crops in this region are barley, canola and spring wheat. The agricultural land on the Canadian Prairies has been divided into Census Agricultural Regions (CAR) by Statistics Canada. A clustering model was applied to the crop yield data to group the CARs for the development of forecast models. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index (EVI) derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS), NDVI derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and several climate indices were considered as predictors for crop yields. A correlation analysis between crop yield and the time series of each potential predictor was performed to determine which variables showed the most forecasting potential and at what time during the growing season their values were most correlated to crop yield. Various combinations of MODIS-NDVI, MODIS-EVI and NOAA-NDVI were used to forecast the yield of barley, canola and spring wheat. Multiple linear regression as well as nonlinear Bayesian neural networks and model-based recursive partitioning forecast models were developed using the various sets of predictors. The models were trained using a cross-validation method and the forecast results of each model were evaluated by calculating the skill score from the mean absolute error, with 95% confidence intervals for the skill scores calculated using a bootstrap method. The results were compared in an effort to determine the optimal set of predictors and type of forecast model for each crop.

description: We study for a dielectric particle the effect of surplus electrons on the anomalous scattering of light arising from the transverse optical phonon resonance in the particle's dielectric constant. Excess electrons affect the polarizability of the particle by their phonon-limited conductivity, either in a surface layer (for negative electron affinity) or the conduction band (for positive electron affinity). We demonstrate that surplus electrons shift an extinction resonance in the infrared. This offers an optical way to measure the charge of the particle and thus to use it in a plasma as a minimally invasive electric probe.

description: Topological quantum error correction codes have high thresholds and are well suited to physical implementation. The minimum weight perfect matching algorithm can be used to efficiently handle errors in such codes. We perform a timing analysis of our current implementation of the minimum weight perfect matching algorithm. Our implementation performs the classical processing associated with an nxn lattice of qubits realizing a square surface code storing a single logical qubit of information in a fault-tolerant manner. We empirically demonstrate that our implementation requires only O(n^2) average time per round of error correction for code distances ranging from 4 to 512 and a range of depolarizing error rates. We also describe tests we have performed to verify that it always obtains a true minimum weight perfect matching.

A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE MISUSE OF POWER IN ORWELL'S ANIMAL FARM
Creators: name: Sapaeva, Khosiyat
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: It is normal to witness politicians exploiting ordinary people as a result of the leader's poor use of absolute authority and the people's silence. Knowledge and education appear to lead to total power, culminating in the pain and persecution of simple and ignorant people in the Soviet Union. The majority of people do not understand the terminology utilized in Animal Farm, which creates a danger through numerous concepts and rules. This allowed the wealthy to abuse people for their selfish interests and engage in illegal activities. As a result of the use of ambiguous language and the deployment of terror tactics, they were able to persuade others, and then they developed lies in the interests of leaders. However, because of their simplicity, the others were readily persuaded, whereas power could be used to serve the entire people of the Soviet Union. The paper analyzes the research using a historical method.

description: A system responding to a stochastic driving signal can be interpreted as computing, by means of its dynamics, an implicit model of the environmental variables. The system's state retains information about past environmental fluctuations, and a fraction of this information is predictive of future ones. The remaining nonpredictive information reflects model complexity that does not improve predictive power, and thus represents the ineffectiveness of the model. We expose the fundamental equivalence between this model inefficiency and thermodynamic inefficiency, measured by dissipation. Our results hold arbitrarily far from thermodynamic equilibrium and are applicable to a wide range of systems, including biomolecular machines. They highlight a profound connection between the effective use of information and efficient thermodynamic operation: any system constructed to keep memory about its environment and to operate with maximal energetic efficiency has to be predictive.

description: It is well known that in the MSSM the lightest neutral Higgs h^0 must be, at the tree level, lighter than the Z boson and that the loop corrections shift this stringent upper bound up to about 130 GeV. Extending the MSSM gauge group in a suitable way, the new Higgs sector dynamics can push the tree-level mass of h^0 well above the tree-level MSSM limit if it couples to the new gauge sector. This effect is further pronounced at the loop level and h^0 masses in the 140 GeV ballpark can be reached easily. We exemplify this for a sample setting with a low-scale U(1)_R x U(1)_B-L gauge symmetry in which neutrino masses can be implemented via the inverse seesaw mechanism.

description: A family of analytical potential-density pairs for flat galaxies with spheroidal halos is presented. The potential are obtained by means of the sum of two independent terms: a potential associated with a thin disc and a potential associated with a spheroidal halo, which are expressed as appropriated superpositions of products of Legendre functions, in such a way that the model implies a linear relationship between the masses of the thin disc and the spheroidal halo. By taking a particular case for the halo potential, we found that the circular velocity obtained can be adjusted very accurately to the observed rotation curves of some specific galaxies, so that the models are stable against radial and vertical perturbations. Two particular models for the galaxies NGC4389 and UGC6969 are obtained by adjusting the circular velocity with data of the observed rotation curve of some galaxies of the Ursa Mayor Cluster, as reported in Verheijen and Sancisi 2001. The values of the halo mass and the disc mass for these two galaxies are computed obtaining a very narrow interval of values for these quantities. Furthermore, the values of obtained masses are in perfect agreement with the expected order of magnitude and with the relative order of magnitude between the halo mass and the disc mass.

description: Though being weakly interacting, QED can support bound states. In principle, this can be expected for the weak interactions in the Higgs sector as well. In fact, it has been argued long ago that there should be a duality between bound states and the elementary particles in this sector, at least in leading order in an expansion in the Higgs condensate. Whether this remains true beyond the leading order is investigated using lattice simulations, and support is found. This provides a natural interpretation of peaks in cross sections as bound states. Unambiguously, this would imply the existence of (possibly very broad) resonances of Higgs and W and Z bound states within the standard model.

description: In this paper we study quantum nondeterminism in multiparty communication. There are three (possibly) different types of nondeterminism in quantum computation: i) strong, ii) weak with classical proofs, and iii) weak with quantum proofs. Here we focus on the first one. A strong quantum nondeterministic protocol accepts a correct input with positive probability, and rejects an incorrect input with probability 1. In this work we relate strong quantum nondeterministic multiparty communication complexity to the rank of the communication tensor in the Number-On-Forehead and Number-In-Hand models. In particular, by extending the definition proposed by de Wolf to {\it nondeterministic tensor-rank} ($nrank$), we show that for any boolean function $f$ when there is no prior shared entanglement between the players, 1) in the Number-On-Forehead model, the cost is upper-bounded by the logarithm of $nrank(f)$; 2) in the Number-In-Hand model, the cost is lower-bounded by the logarithm of $nrank(f)$. Furthermore, we show that when the number of players is $o(\log\log n)$ we have that $NQP\nsubseteq BQP$ for Number-On-Forehead communication.

description: We study the linear perturbation of the recently proposed model of inflation where a uniform gauge-kinetic coupling of the inflaton to multiple vector fields breaks the cosmic no-hair conjecture while maintaining the isotropy. We derive the general quadratic action for the perturbation and calculate the power spectra of scalar and tensor modes at the end of inflation by in-in formalism. It is shown that the model predicts slightly red spectra and the tensor-to-scalar ratio tends to be suppressed. The comparison with the data from WMAP 7-year does not impose strong constraints on the parameters and both weak- and strong- gauge-field regimes are consistent with the current observations.

Counsellors' experience of creating and using the physical counselling environment : an interpretative phenomenological analysis
Creators: name: Bartel Sawatzky, Melissa

description: The field of environmental psychology suggests that the physical environment may influence and be influenced by the humans that use it. The counselling setting is no different, and has been recognized by clients as an important factor in the establishment of the counselling alliance (Bedi, 2006). In addition, research suggests that the physical environment affects clients’ perceptions of counsellor competence, friendliness, and quality of care (Miwa & Hanyu, 2006; Nasar & Devlin, 2011; Pressly & Heesacker, 2001). But how do counsellors perceive and make meaning of their use of the space? The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experience of counsellors as it related to the physical environment used in counselling. The central research question that this study asked was: What are counsellors’ experience of creating and using the physical counselling environment? Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the study sought to understand how counsellors experience the creation and use of the physical counselling space and the meaning they ascribe to that experience. Eight counsellors, ranging from 5-35 years of counselling experience, were interviewed regarding their experience. The resulting transcriptions were analyzed using IPA and revealed three super-ordinate themes: Space as a Counselling Tool, Space as a Means for Self-care, and Negotiating Issues of Personal Control over the Space. The first two super-ordinate themes also included sub-themes. Space as a Counselling Tool was expressed more specifically as a tool to build relationships between counsellors and clients, as a tool to further the counselling process through exploration and specific exercises or techniques, and by matching the space with its use or purpose. Space as a Means for Self-care was expressed more specifically by experiences of personal enjoyment, meeting personal needs, reflecting the self, and through relationships with those other than clients. This study contributes to current literature by exploring the largely unheard perspective of practicing counsellors in regards to their physical counselling environment and inviting further discussion on how the physical environment may contribute to counselling practice and counsellors’ well-being. Future research regarding the physical environment and counselling are also discussed, as well as implications for counselling practice.

description: We discuss the torque effect in the initial fireball formed in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, manifesting itself, on the event-by-event basis, in a relative angle between the principal axes of the transverse momentum distributions in the forward and backward rapidity regions. The torque follows from two natural features: 1) the sources of particles (e.g. wounded nucleons) emit predominantly in their forward hemispheres, and 2) there exist fluctuations in the transverse distribution of sources from the two colliding nuclei. On the average, the standard event-by-event deviation of the relative torque angle is about 20 degrees for the central and 10 degrees for the mid-peripheral collisions. The hydrodynamic expansion of a torqued fireball leads to a torqued collective flow of the fluid, which, in turn, yields torqued principal axes of the transverse-momentumdistributions at different rapidities. We discuss experimental measures based on cumulants involving particles in different rapidity regions, which allow for a quantitative extraction of the effect from the experimental data. We estimate the non-flow contributions from resonance decays with the help of THERMINATOR.

description: A new solution with constant torsion is derived using the field equations of f(T). Asymptotic forms of energy density, radial and transversal pressures are shown to meet the standard energy conditions, i.e., weak and null energy conditions according to some restrictions on T0, f(T0) and fT(T0). Other solutions are obtained for vanishing radial pressure and for specific choices of f(T). The physics relevant to the resulting models is discussed.

Evaluation of geo-climactic location-of-origin features for effects on phenotype prediction accuracy with ML models: A case study in Arabidopsis thaliana
Creators: name: Elhan Ersoz
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2019

description: Flowering time and most life history traits are often expected to be adaptive, i.e. genetic variation for these phenotypes are mostly driven by selective pressures and drift at the location-of-origin. Long-term location based environmental data , i.e. geo-climactic data- can be used for assessment of location-of-origin similarities that drive the genetic adaptations for a study population.
By utilizing machine learning approaches for classification of long term geo-climactic data into a handful of features for individual samples of the population, one can include these characteristics into predictive models for phenotypes. It is hypothesized that using geo-climactic features, together with features that characterize genetic relationships within the population (components of G-matrix), can improve prediction accuracy with a Random-Forest ML approach, for unobserved phenotypes. I evaluated the prediction accuracies for flowering time classes early vs.late, and major free-amino-acids concentration levels of arginine, methionine and proline divided into 4 classes based on quartile distribution of their absolute levels, as phenotypes. Inclusion of the environmental features into the RF prediction model
increased the prediction accuracy for methionine, decreased the prediction accuracy for proline, and did not create any change for the prediction accuracies for arginine and flowering time classification of the test samples. Variance components attributable to each of these traits show variation for their G-matrix and E-matrix attributable portions. Although no conclusive trend was identified, the patterns observed are indicative of slight improvements for environmentally influenced, moderate to low heritability traits in prediction accuracies.
What is the policy landscape for consideration of nurse anesthetist practice in British Columbia?

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This health policy analysis investigates the contextual landscape and possible alternatives for new legislation and regulation of a prospective role for nurse anesthetists in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Principles of basic analysis are used to address the major concepts of context, process, and actors. The normative perspective allows consideration of the influence of values in decision-making processes. American and Canadian advanced practice nursing roles, such as the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, and Nurse Practitioner, are examined for their pertinent history, including the legislative and regulatory structures that govern them. Facilitators and barriers to new role implementation add further contextual detail to this investigation. Values of decision-makers are considered in concert with past policy processes to develop viable and practical policy alternatives for the implementation of nurse anesthetists in BC.
Dark Matter Halo Profiles of Massive Clusters: Theory vs. Observations

description: Dark matter-dominated cluster-scale halos act as an important cosmological probe and provide a key testing ground for structure formation theory. Focusing on their mass profiles, we have carried out (gravity-only) simulations of the concordance LCDM cosmology, covering a mass range of 2.10^{12}-2.10^{15} solar mass/h and a redshift range of z=0-2, while satisfying the associated requirements of resolution and statistical control. When fitting to the Navarro-Frenk-White profile, our concentration-mass (c-M) relation differs in normalization and shape in comparison to previous studies that have limited statistics in the upper end of the mass range. We show that the flattening of the c-M relation with redshift is naturally expressed if c is viewed as a function of the peak height parameter, ν. Unlike the c-M relation, the slope of the c-νrelation is effectively constant over the redshift range z=0-2, while the amplitude varies by ~30% for massive clusters. This relation is, however, not universal: Using a simulation suite covering the allowed wCDM parameter space, we show that the c-νrelation varies by about +/- 20% as cosmological parameters are varied. At fixed mass, the c(M) distribution is well-fit by a Gaussian with σ_c/c = 0.33, independent of the radius at which the concentration is defined, the halo dynamical state, and the underlying cosmology. We compare the LCDM predictions with observations of halo concentrations from strong lensing, weak lensing, galaxy kinematics, and X-ray data, finding good agreement for massive clusters (M > 4.10^{14} solar mass/h), but with some disagreements at lower masses. Because of uncertainty in observational systematics and modeling of baryonic physics, the significance of these discrepancies remains unclear.
