description: The skeletochronological method has been used to assess age distribution and age-related differences in body size among populations of the parthenogenetic lizards Darevskia sapphirina, D. uzzelli, D. armeniaca and D. unisexualis from Turkey and Armenia. The age distribution between D. armeniaca and D. unisexualis did not significantly differ and ranged from 1 to 8 years. Maximum age for both D. uzzelli and D. sapphirina was 6 years, and 8 years for both D. unisexualis and D. armeniaca. In all the studied species, individuals reached sexual maturity after third hibernation. According to patterns of growth marks resorption, D. sapphirina is distinguished from all other rock lizards of genus Darevskia by a narrowest periosteal bone as result of high rate of endosteal resorption resulting in complete destruction of hatchling line and line of the first hibernation.

description: We establish a general CCR (liminarity) property for uniformly bounded irreducible representations of nilpotent Lie groups on reflexive Banach spaces, extending the well known property of unitary irreducible representations of these groups on Hilbert spaces. We also prove that this conclusion fails for many representations on non-reflexive Banach spaces. Our approach to these results blends the method of transference from abstract harmonic analysis and a systematic use of spaces of smooth vectors with respect to Lie group representations.

description: We report seven nesting events by loggerhead sea turtles in Sicily (Italy) in 2011. In comparison to past records, this number is relatively high and may be at least in part due to an awareness campaign carried out in 2011 to solicit such reports. This suggests that Sicily may host a much higher nesting activity than previously thought and higher monitoring effort is recommended, especially in certain coastal tracts. Sand temperatures and incubation periods indicate that the beaches monitored so far in the southern coast are not optimal for development, resulting in low hatching success, and produce a majority of males. Five 2011 nests and two past nests from the same area had mtDNA haplotype CC-A2.1, the most common in the Mediterranean.

description: There has been a significant amount of work in the literature proposing semantic relaxation of concurrent data structures for improving scalability and performance. By relaxing the semantics of a data structure, a bigger design space, that allows weaker synchronization and more useful parallelism, is unveiled. Investigating new data structure designs, capable of trading semantics for achieving better performance in a monotonic way, is a major challenge in the area. We algorithmically address this challenge in this paper.To address this challenge, we present an efficient lock-free, concurrent data structure design framework for out-of-order semantic relaxation. Our framework introduces a new two dimensional algorithmic design, that uses multiple instances of an implementation of the given data structure. The first dimension of our design is the number of data structure instances onto which operations are spread to, in order to achieve increased parallelism through disjoint memory accesses. The second dimension is the number of consecutive operations of a single thread that can stay at the same data structure instance in order to benefit from data locality. Our design can flexibly explore this two-dimensional space to achieve the property of monotonically increasing throughput performance via relaxing concurrent data structure semantics within a tight deterministic relaxation bound, as we prove in the paper. We show how our framework can instantiate lock-free out-of-order queues, stacks, counters and dequeues. The experimental evaluation shows that our two-dimensional data structures: i) significantly outperform the respected previous proposed ones with respect to scalability and throughput performance and ii) monotonically increase throughput as relaxation increases.

description: Much attention has been focused on the design of low barrier nanomagnets (LBM), whose magnetizations vary randomly in time owing to thermal noise, for use in binary stochastic neurons (BSN) which are hardware accelerators for machine learning. The performance of BSNs depend on two important parameters: the correlation time associated with the random magnetization dynamics in a LBM, and the spin-polarized pinning current which stabilizes the magnetization of a LBM in a chosen direction within a chosen time. Here, we show that common fabrication defects in LBMs make these two parameters unpredictable since they are strongly sensitive to the defects. That makes the design of BSNs with real LBMs very challenging. Unless the LBMs are fabricated with extremely tight control, the BSNs which use them could be unreliable or suffer from poor yield.

Key new ingredients include a family of refined microlocal decoupling inequalities, which are related to the work of Beltran-Hickman-Sogge on Wolff-type inequalities, and an analog of Orponen's radial projection lemma which has proved quite useful in recent work on distance sets.

description: This paper is devoted to the bipartite ranking problem, a classical statistical learning task, in a high dimensional setting. We propose a scoring and ranking strategy based on the PAC-Bayesian approach. We consider nonlinear additive scoring functions, and we derive non-asymptotic risk bounds under a sparsity assumption. In particular, oracle inequalities in probability holding under a margin condition assess the performance of our procedure, and prove its minimax optimality. An MCMC-flavored algorithm is proposed to implement our method, along with its behavior on synthetic and real-life datasets.

description: Mesocosms (i.e., outdoor, man-made representations of natural ecosystems) have seldom been used to study the impact of contaminants on terrestrial ecosystems. However, mesocosms can be a useful tool to provide a link between field and laboratory studies. We exposed juvenile lacertid lizards for a period of over one year to pesticides (herbicides and insecticides) in mesocosm enclosures with the intention of validating field observations obtained in a previous study that examined the effects of corn pesticides in Podarcis bocagei. Our treatments replicated field conditions and consisted of a control, an herbicides only treatment (alachlor, terbuthylazine, mesotrione and glyphosate) and an herbicides and insecticide treatment (including chlorpyrifos). We used a multi-biomarker approach that examined parameters at an individual and sub-individual level, including growth, locomotor performance, standard metabolic rate, biomarkers of oxidative stress, esterases and liver histopathologies. Although mortality over the course of the exposures was high (over 60%), surviving individuals prospered relatively well in the mesocosms and displayed a broad range of natural behaviours. The low numbers of replicate animals compromised many of the statistical comparisons, but in general, surviving lizards exposed to pesticides in mesocosm enclosures for over one year, thrived, and displayed few effects of pesticide exposure. Despite the difficulties, this work acts as an important stepping-stone for future ecotoxicology studies using lizards.

description: We study continuous linear operators on $\mathscr{D}'(\mathbb{R}^d)$ which admit all monomials as eigenvectors, that is, operators of Hadamard type. Such operators on $C^\infty(\mathbb{R}^d)$ and on the space $A(\mathbb{R}^d)$ of real analytic functions on $\mathbb{R}^d$ have been investigated by Domanski, Langenbruch and the author. The situation in the present case, however, is quite different and also the characterization. An operator $L$ on $\mathscr{D}'(\mathbb{R}^d)$ is of Hadamard type if there is a distribution T, the support of which has positive distance to all coordinate hyperplanes and which has a certain behaviour at infinity, such that $L(S) = S \star T$ for all $S \in \mathscr{D}'(\mathbb{R}^d)$. Here $(S \star T)φ= S_y(T_x φ(xy))$ for all $φ\in \mathscr{D}(\mathbb{R}^d)$. To describe the behaviour at infinity we introduce a class $\mathscr{O}_H'(\mathbb{R}^d)$ of distributions defined by the same conditions like in the description of class $\mathscr{O}_C'(\mathbb{R}^d)$ of Laurent Schwartz, but derivatives replaced with Euler derivatives.
The Role of A1555G in Aminoglycoside-Induced Ototoxicity: A Systematic Review

description: Ototoxic hearing loss refers to a decline in hearing sensitivity resulting from drug-induced damage to the inner ear . Ototoxicity often presents as a symmetric, high-frequency hearing loss, although audiogram shape and severity is highly variable across individuals. Over 100 classes of drugs have been described as ototoxic, the most common of which include loop diuretics, platinum-based chemotherapy drugs, and aminoglycosides (Mudd, 2016). Aminoglycosides are a class of antibiotics that are used in the treatment of gram-negative bacterial infections. The oto- and nephrotoxic properties of aminoglycosides have been well-documented. Consequently, these medications are typically reserved for life-threatening infections in the United States and other developed countries. Examples of clinical use include treating chronic lung infections in cases of cystic fibrosis and combating sepsis in preterm infants. Aminoglycosides are more routinely prescribed in developing countries due to their low-cost and high efficacy. In recent decades, advancements in pharmacogenetics have sparked interest in the effect of genetics on susceptibility to aminoglycoside ototoxicity . The AI555G mitochondrial gene mutation is one genetic variant that has received significant investigative attention. Previous research has suggested that individuals who carry the A1555G mutation are more susceptible to aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss relative to the general population (Jing et al., 2014). Ototoxic hearing loss is often irreversible and, like all forms of hearing impairment, can have detrimental effects on language, cognition, social development, and quality of life. Careful audiologic monitoring of patients at risk for ototoxic hearing loss is vital to reducing these negative outcomes. If associated with increased risk of ototoxic hearing loss, identification of the A1555G mutation calls for more frequent monitoring and, when possible, reduction in exposure to aminoglycosides. Understanding the risk factors of ototoxic hearing loss in combination with specific genetic makeups will aid prevention and timely intervention in this clinical population. The aim of this project was to conduct a systematic review on the role of the A1555G mitochondrial mutation in aminoglycoside ototoxicity .

description: Variation in a number of morphological characters were analysed in five populations of Testudo hermanni from Serbia and Montenegro. Tortoises from Serbia appeared significantly larger than those from Montenegro. An insular population of Montenegro was distinct due to its extremely small body size and mass and dark plastral pigmentation. Although the majority of tortoises had the supracaudal scute divided, many tortoises had the scute undivided. Effects of possible genetic divergence and/or adaptation to different environmental conditions on observed morphological variation were discussed.

description: This paper introduces the \emph{$d$-distance matching problem}, in which we are given a bipartite graph $G=(S,T;E)$ with $S=\{s_1,\dots,s_n\}$, a weight function on the edges and an integer $d\in\mathbb Z_+$. The goal is to find a maximum weight subset $M\subseteq E$ of the edges satisfying the following two conditions: i) the degree of every node of $S$ is at most one in $M$, ii) if $s_it,s_jt\in M$, then $|j-i|\geq d$. The question arises naturally, for example, in various scheduling problems. We show that the problem is NP-complete in general and admits a simple $3$-approxi\-mation. We give an FPT algorithm parameterized by $d$ and also settle the case when the size of $T$ is constant. From an approximability point of view, we show that the integrality gap of the natural integer programming model is at most $2-\frac{1}{2d-1}$, and give an LP-based approximation algorithm for the weighted case with the same guarantee. A combinatorial $(2-\frac{1}{d})$-approximation algorithm is also presented. Several greedy approaches are considered, in particular, a local search algorithm that achieves an approximation ratio of $3/2+ε$ for any constant $ε>0$ in the unweighted case. The novel approaches used in the analysis of the integrality gap and the approximation ratio of locally optimal solutions might be of independent combinatorial interest.

description: Little string theories (LSTs) are UV complete non-local 6D theories decoupled from gravity in which there is an intrinsic string scale. In this paper we present a systematic approach to the construction of supersymmetric LSTs via the geometric phases of F-theory. Our central result is that all LSTs with more than one tensor multiplet are obtained by a mild extension of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in which the theory is supplemented by an additional, non-dynamical tensor multiplet, analogous to adding an affine node to an ADE quiver, resulting in a negative semidefinite Dirac pairing. We also show that all 6D SCFTs naturally embed in an LST. Motivated by physical considerations, we show that in geometries where we can verify the presence of two elliptic fibrations, exchanging the roles of these fibrations amounts to T-duality in the 6D theory compactified on a circle.

description: Scinax littoralis and S. angrensis are poorly known Atlantic forest endemic species from the Scinax catharinae group, which is known from southern and southeastern Brazil. Herein, we describe the advertisement calls of these two species and compare them to other species within the S. catharinae group. Additionally, we provide information on breeding sites, and calling activity in S. littoralis. Advertisement calls of S. angrensis and S. littoralis are composed of multi-pulsed notes with multiple frequency bands and frequency modulation. Scinax littoralis has a higher minimum and maximum frequency, and lower dominant frequency than S. angrensis, while Scinax littoralis has a longer call. Scinax littoralis appears to be a habitat generalist, occurring from secondary to mature forests, and breeding both in temporary and in permanent ponds. Male S. littoralis were usually observed calling perched on shrub stems, and displayed satellite behavior when the male density was high.

description: Tropiduridae (Squamata: Iguania) is a lizard taxon widely distributed in the neotropics. Among its representatives, some species are classified as generalists regarding habitat usage. Others exhibit a very restricted and probably relict distribution, and are strongly associated with predominantly sandy and dry habitats. Within this rather ecologically similar than phylogenetically closely related group we examined specimens of Eurolophosaurus amathites, E. divaricatus, Tropidurus hygomi, T. psammonastes for endoparasites. In all four species examined we recorded parasitic nematodes (Nemathelminthes: Nematoda). At least three nematode species were recovered: Parapharyngodon sp., Physaloptera lutzi and Strongyluris oscari, with Ph. lutzi being the most abundant parasite encountered in all lizard species examined. In spite of the hosts’ habitat specialization, these parasites are also found frequently in non-psammophilous tropidurid species as well as in other squamates. Individual species richness per lizard was low, with usually just one species parasitizing at a time. These are the first parasites registered for these tropidurids and constitute a total of six new host records.

description: This paper generalizes the original Schelling (1969, 1971a,b, 2006) model of racial and residential segregation to a context of variable externalities due to social linkages. In a setting in which individuals' utility function is a convex combination of a heuristic function a la Schelling, of the distance to friends, and of the cost of moving, the prediction of the original model gets attenuated: the segregation equilibria are not the unique solutions. While the cost of distance has a monotonic pro-status-quo effect, equivalent to that of models of migration and gravity models, if friends and neighbours are formed following independent processes the location of friends in space generates an externality that reinforces the initial configuration if the distance to friends is minimal, and if the degree of each agent is high. The effect on segregation equilibria crucially depends on the role played by network externalities.

description: The paper studies how to extend local calibration pairs to global ones in various situations. As a result, new discoveries involving mass-minimizing properties are exhibited. In particular, we show that a $\mathbb R$-homologically nontrivial connected submanifold $M$ of a smooth Riemannian manifold $X$ is homologically mass-minimizing for some metrics in the same conformal class. Moreover, several generalizations for $M$ with multiple connected components or for a mutually disjoint collection (see §3.5) are obtained. For a submanifold with certain singularities, we also establish an extension theorem for generating global calibration pairs. By combining these results, we find that, in some Riemannian manifolds, there are homologically mass-minimizing smooth submanifolds which cannot be calibrated by any smooth calibration.

description: The entanglement witness and the entropy uncertainty are investigated by using the pseudomode theory for the open two-atom system under the quantum Zeno effect. The results show that, only when the two spectrums satisfy strong coupling with the atom, the time of entanglement witness can be prolonged and the lower bound of the entropic uncertainty can be reduced, and the entanglement can be witnessed many times. We also gave the corresponding physical explanation by the non-Markovianity. The Zeno effect not only can very effectively prolong the time of entanglement witness and reduce the lower bound of the entropy uncertainty, but also can greatly enhance the time of entanglement witness and reduce the entanglement value of witness.

description: The Caspian bent-toed gecko, Cyrtopodion caspium, is one of the commonest lizards in northern Iran. It is nocturnal, anthropophile and oviparous. In this study, the reproductive cycle of this species was studied by focusing on oogenesis, from April 5 to October 20, 2011. In total, 70 adult females were obtained from Mazandaran, one of the northern provinces of Iran where the climate is temperate. Ovaries were removed and processed for histological and morphometric studies. The results show that oocyte growth starts in late April and ends in August. Mating starts in spring, especially at the beginning of May, with oviposition occurring from late May to mid August. Females lay 1-2 eggs per clutch with the possibility of producing a secondary clutch later in the season. Maximum reproductive activity occurs in May and peaks in June. There was no significant difference between right and left side of reproductive system. With oogenesis occurring from April through July, C. caspium follows an oogenic cycle typical for temperate species.

description: Recent high-precision measurements of nuclear deep inelastic scattering at high x and moderate 6 < Q$^2$ < 9GeV$^2$ give a rare opportunity to reach the quark distributions in the {\it superfast} region, in which the momentum fraction of the nucleon carried by its constituent quark is larger than the total fraction of the nucleon at rest, x>1. We derive the leading-order QCD evolution equation for such quarks with the goal of relating the moderate-Q$^2$ data to the two earlier measurements of superfast quark distributions at large 60 < Q$^2$ < 200~GeV$^2$. Since the high-Q$^2$ measurements gave strongly contradictory estimates of the nuclear effects that generate superfast quarks, relating them to the high-precision, moderate-Q$^2$ data through QCD evolution allows us to clarify this longstanding issue. Our calculations indicate that the moderate-Q$^2$ data at $x\lesssim 1.05$ are in better agreement with the high-Q$^2$ data measured in (anti)neutrino-nuclear reactions which require substantial high-momentum nuclear effects in the generation of superfast quarks. Our prediction for the high-Q$^2$ and x>1.1 region is somewhat in the middle of the neutrino-nuclear and muon-nuclear scattering data.

description: Based on daily monitoring around an urban pond in the coastal town of Maroantsetra, from 2003-2011, we provide an analysis of the yearly reproductive activity of the tomato frog (Dyscophus antongilii), a large-sized and prominent red-coloured microhylid frog from north-eastern Madagascar. Frogs were observed all year round but despite the limited climatic seasonality in the region it was possible to identify a high activity period between January-May and a lower activity period between June-December. Freshly laid eggs were found in all months except November, and with highest incidence between January and May, while calling was heard in all months. We found a positive correlation between daily adult counts and minimum air temperature. On the contrary rainfall did not significantly predict activity, although boosts of calling and egg-laying especially in the austral winter were observed after heavy rainfall events. We define D. antongilii in Maroantsetra as a sporadic wet season breeder that reproduces at irregular intervals following heavy rain events.

description: The Erasmus Program (EuRopean community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students), the most important student exchange program in the world, financed by the European Union and started in 1987, is characterized by a strong gender bias. Girls participate to the program more than boys. This work quantifies the gender bias in the Erasmus program between 2008 and 2013, using novel data at the university level. It describes the structure of the program in great details, carrying out the analysis across fields of study, and identifies key universities as senders and receivers. In addition, it tests the difference in the degree distribution of the Erasmus network along time and between genders, giving evidence of a greater density in the female Erasmus network with respect to the one of the male Erasmus network.

description: We construct rich vector spaces of continuous functions with prescribed curved or linear pathwise quadratic variations. We also construct a class of functions whose quadratic variation may depend in a local and nonlinear way on the function value. These functions can then be used as integrators in Föllmer's pathwise Itō calculus. Our construction of the latter class of functions relies on an extension of the Doss--Sussman method to a class of nonlinear Itō differential equations for the Föllmer integral. As an application, we provide a deterministic variant of the support theorem for diffusions. We also establish that many of the constructed functions are nowhere differentiable.
Comparative cytogenetics of two species of ground skinks: Scincella assata and S. cherriei (Squamata: Scincidae: Lygosominae) from Chiapas, Mexico

description: Standard karyotypes of two species of the genus Scincella, S. assata and S. cherriei, both from Chiapas State, Mexico, were described for the first time. The diploid chromosome number was 28 in S. assata, whereas 30 in S. cherriei. The karyotypes of the two species, while differing in the number of microchromosomes, 14-15 in S. assata and 16-17 in S. cherriei, share four pairs of large metacentric, two pairs of medium-sized metacentric, and one particular pair (number 7) of chromosomes. Female S. assata carries chromosome pair 7 composed of two identical medium-sized subtelocentric chromosomes. This chromosome pair is heteromorphic in males of both species, i.e., one component of the pair is similar to the homomorphic chromosomes 7 of the S. assata female, while the other is nearly one-half the size of its counterpart and resembles a microchromosome. The homology of such externally different elements is deducted from the presence of an asymmetric bivalent in spermatocytes at diplotene-diakinesis. Female S. cherriei was not available. We suspect that the two Scincella species possess an XY sex determination system, as previously reported for the North American congeneric species, S. lateralis.

This query of Relativity poses for contemplation as to what direction taken will qualify the identification of the Self for children and adolescents with the decisions they make that will circumnavigate the course to the Route objective for establishing a symbiotic pattern of communication that will channel the personification of the Conscience with the youth mind. This is made possible whether the CrossRoads toward achieving Self-Actualization be guided by constructive or destructive forms of methodological assimilation into a community of attachment and security that equates with a psyche-somatic sense of belonging and assimbio-spheric communitization. This is made adherent in order for the systemic processing of Self-Actualization is to be plausibly transversive by methods of a transpositing binary symbiocodum formalization of a socio-linguistic communication; that is circum-navigational and the route course to achieving Self-Egosive relativity intunement with childrens and adolescents assimbiocodum relations to their associate community environments. From which many children and adolescents have transitioned successfully and arbitrarily transcended through; having pinnacled the Pre:Pubescent stages of Absolutionary Development in Childhood and Adolescence.
Recycling intermediate steps to improve Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

description: Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) and related algorithms have become routinely used in Bayesian computation. In this article, we present a simple and provably accurate method to improve the efficiency of HMC and related algorithms with essentially no extra computational cost. This is achieved by {recycling the intermediate states along simulated trajectories of Hamiltonian dynamics. Standard algorithms use only the end points of trajectories, wastefully discarding all the intermediate states. Compared to the alternative methods for utilizing the intermediate states, our algorithm is simpler to apply in practice and requires little programming effort beyond the usual implementations of HMC and related algorithms. Our algorithm applies straightforwardly to the no-U-turn sampler, arguably the most popular variant of HMC. Through a variety of experiments, we demonstrate that our recycling algorithm yields substantial computational efficiency gains.

description: The poison-dart frog Phyllobates terribilis is currently classified as endangered or critically endangered due to its extremely restricted geographic distribution and intensive smuggling by pet traffickers. Based on molecular data, we here report two new localities representing a 60 km northward extension of its previously recognized range. The identity of other Phyllobates populations in western Colombia is discussed, as well as the current morphological criteria used to distinguish P. terribilis and the similar P. bicolor.

description: BPS spectra give important insights into the non-perturbative regimes of supersymmetric theories. Often from the study of BPS states one can infer properties of the geometrical or algebraic structures underlying such theories. In this paper we approach this problem from the perspective of persistent homology. Persistent homology is at the base of topological data analysis, which aims at extracting topological features out of a set of points. We use these techniques to investigate the topological properties which characterize the spectra of several supersymmetric models in field and string theory. We discuss how such features change upon crossing walls of marginal stability in a few examples. Then we look at the topological properties of the distributions of BPS invariants in string compactifications on compact threefolds, used to engineer black hole microstates. Finally we discuss the interplay between persistent homology and modularity by considering certain number theoretical functions used to count dyons in string compactifications and by studying equivariant elliptic genera in the context of the Mathieu moonshine.
