description: Desmodora bilacinia Leduc & Zhao, 2016
Fig. 14, Table 4
Diagnosis
Desmodora bilacinia is characterised by eight longitudinal rows of somatic setae of medium length (3–8 μm), eight subcephalic setae present on cephalic capsule, unispiral amphidial fovea, males with two precloacal supplements consisting of thin, rounded cuticular extensions and two rows of thick subventral setae extending from precloacal supplements to near tail tip, and non-annulated tail tip with perforations covering anterior third to two-thirds.
Material examined
NEW ZEALAND • 2 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀; Kermadec Islands, Raoul Island (off Western Spring); 29.22992° S, 177.96448° W; depth 16 m; 22 Nov. 2021; coarse sand and gravel sediments, voyage TMOR2021, station 85; NIWA 154954.
Type habitat and locality
Coarse sand and gravel sediments under a small boulder, lower intertidal zone, Greta Point, Wellington, New Zealand (174.80251° E, 41.30442° S).
Remarks
The male Raoul Island specimens agrees well with the description of the species based on the Wellington specimens by Leduc & Zhao (2016) in almost all respects. The Raoul Island specimens, however, are characterised by smaller ratio of c (11–15 vs 16–25 in the Wellington specimens) as well as somewhat larger amphids (in males: 52–62 vs 49–52% wide in the Wellington specimens; in females: 42 vs 35– 40% cbd in the Wellington specimens) (Table 4).

description: On September 28, 1989, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet requested the Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) to investigate an apparent drainage problem on the Mountain Parkway. The area of concern was a rehabilitation project starting at Milepost 16 and ending at the Stanton exit (Milepost 22). The old PCC pavement was being broken and seated and then overlaid with approximately nine inches of asphaltic concrete. Longitudinal edge drains Advanedge and Contech Stripdrain 100 had been installed prior to the breaking and seating.

description: Towns and cities are currently equipping themselves with a host of connected devices, with a view to transforming themselves into ''smart cities''. To manage this mass of connected objects, autonomous software entities, known as agents, can be attached to them to cooperate and use these devices to offer personalized services. However, this object infrastructure needs to be semantically structured in order to be exploited. This is why the proposal of this article is an ontology, formatted in OWL, describing the object infrastructures, their links with the organization of the multi-agent system and the services to be delivered according to the users of the system. The ontology is applied to smart mobility for people with reduced mobility, and could be adapted to other smart city axes.

Regularity of the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann System without angular cutoff

description: In this paper we study the regularity of the non-cutoff Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system for plasma particles of two species in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^3$ with hard potential. The existence of global-in-time nearby Maxwellian solutions is known for soft potential from [15]. However the smoothing effect of these solutions has been a challenging open problem. We establish the global existence and regularizing effect to the Cauchy problem for hard potential with large time decay. Hence, the solutions are smooth with respect to $(t,x,v)$ for any positive time $t>0$. This gives the regularity to Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system, which enjoys a similar smoothing effect as Boltzmann equation. The proof is based on the time-weighted energy method building also upon the pseudo-differential calculus.

description: The Enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission is a space mission to be launched in the late 2020s that is currently in development led by China in international collaboration with European partners. Here we provide a progress report on the Czech contribution to the eXTP science. We report on our simulation results performed in Opava (Institute of Physics of the Silesian University in Opava) and Prague (Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences), where the advanced timing capabilities of the satellite have been assessed for bright X-ray binaries that contain an accreting neutron star (NS) and exhibit the quasi-periodic oscillations.
 Measurements of X-ray variability originating in oscillations of fluid in the innermost parts of the accretion region determined by general relativity, such as the radial or Lense-Thirring precession, can serve for sensitive tests enabling us to distinguish between the signatures of different viable dense matter equations of state. We have developed formulae describing non-geodesic oscillations of accreted fluid and their simplified practical forms that allow for an expeditious application of the universal relations determining the NS properties. These relations, along with our software tools for studying the propagation of light in strong gravity and neutron star models, can be used for precise modeling of the X-ray variability while focusing on properties of the intended Large Area Detector (LAD).
 We update the status of our program and set up an electronic repository that will provide simulation results and gradual updates as the mission specifications progress toward their final formulation.

description: We study the thermodynamics of a $d$-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole in the canonical ensemble. This generalizes York's formalism to any number $d$ of dimensions. The canonical ensemble, characterized by a cavity of fixed radius $r$ and fixed temperature $T$ at the boundary, allows for two possible solutions in thermal equilibrium, a small and a large black hole. From the Euclidean action and the path integral approach, we obtain the free energy, the thermodynamic energy, the pressure, and the entropy, of the black hole plus cavity system. The entropy is given by the Bekenstein-Hawking area law. The heat capacity shows that the smaller black hole is in unstable equilibrium and the larger is stable. The photon sphere radius divides the stability criterion. To study perturbations, a generalized free energy function is obtained that allows to understand the possible phase transitions between classical hot flat space and the black holes. The Buchdahl radius, that appears naturally in the general relativistic study of star structure, also shows up in our context, the free energy is zero when the cavity's radius has the Buchdahl radius value. Then, if the cavity's radius is smaller than the Buchdahl radius classical hot flat space can nucleate a black hole. It is also pointed out the link between the canonical analysis performed and the direct perturbation of the path integral. Since gravitational hot flat space is a quantum system made purely of gravitons it is of interest to compare the free energies of quantum hot flat space and the stable black hole to find for which ranges of $r$ and $T$ one phase predominates over the other. Phase diagrams are displayed. The density of states at a given energy is found. Further calculations and comments are carried out, notably, a connection to thin shells in $d$ spacetime dimensions which are systems that are also apt to rigorous thermodynamics.

description: The evolution of on-site number fluctuations of ultracold atoms in optical lattices is experimentally investigated by monitoring the suppression of spin-changing collisions across the superfluid-Mott insulator transition. For low atom numbers, corresponding to an average filling factor close to unity, large on-site number fluctuations are necessary for spin-changing collisions to occur. The continuous suppression of spin-changing collisions is thus a direct evidence for the emergence of number-squeezed states. In the Mott insulator regime, we find that spin-changing collisions are suppressed until a threshold atom number, consistent with the number where a Mott plateau with doubly-occupied sites is expected to form.

description: Star formation is a fundamental process for galactic evolution. One issue over the last several decades has been determining whether star formation is induced by external triggers or is self-regulated in a closed system. The role of an external trigger, which can effectively collect mass in a small volume, has attracted particular attention in connection with the formation of massive stellar clusters, which in the extreme may lead to starbursts. Recent observations have revealed massive cluster formation triggered by cloud-cloud collisions in nearby interacting galaxies, including the Magellanic system and the Antennae Galaxies as well as almost all well-known high-mass star-forming regions such as RCW 120, M20, M42, NGC 6334, etc., in the Milky Way. Theoretical efforts are laying the foundation for the mass compression that causes massive cluster/star formation. Here, we review the recent progress on cloud-cloud collisions and triggered star-cluster formation and discuss the future prospects for this area of research.

description: We use the previously-identified 15 infrared star-cluster counterparts to X-ray point sources in the interacting galaxies NGC 4038/4039 (the Antennae) to study the relationship between total cluster mass and X-ray binary number. This significant population of X-Ray/IR associations allows us to perform, for the first time, a statistical study of X-ray point sources and their environments. We define a quantity, η, relating the fraction of X-ray sources per unit mass as a function of cluster mass in the Antennae. We compute cluster mass by fitting spectral evolutionary models to K_s luminosity. Considering that this method depends on cluster age, we use four different age distributions to explore the effects of cluster age on the value of ηand find it varies by less than a factor of four. We find a mean value of ηfor these different distributions of η= 1.7 x 10^-8 M_\sun^-1 with σ_η= 1.2 x 10^-8 M_\sun^-1. Performing a χ^2 test, we demonstrate ηcould exhibit a positive slope, but that it depends on the assumed distribution in cluster ages. While the estimated uncertainties in ηare factors of a few, we believe this is the first estimate made of this quantity to ``order of magnitude'' accuracy. We also compare our findings to theoretical models of open and globular cluster evolution, incorporating the X-ray binary fraction per cluster.

description: The AEgIS experiment at CERN recently decided to adopt a control system solution based on the Sinara/ARTIQ open hardware and software infrastructure. This decision meant to depart from the previously used paradigm of custom-made electronics and software to control the experiment's equipment. Instead, adopting a solution with long-term support and used in many quantum physics experiments guarantees a vivid community using similar infrastructures. This transition reduces the risks and development timeline for integrating new equipment seamlessly within the setup. This work reviews the motivation, the setup, and the chosen hardware and presents several planned further steps in developing the control system.

description: We report on a study of young star cluster complexes in the spiral galaxy M51. Recent studies have confirmed that star clusters do not form in isolation, but instead tend to form in larger groupings or complexes. We use {\it HST} broad and narrow band images (from both {\it WFPC2} and {\it ACS}), along with {\it BIMA}-CO observations to study the properties and investigate the origin of the e complexes. We find that the complexes are all young ($< 10$ Myr), have sizes between $\sim$85 and $\sim$240 pc, and have masses between 3-30 $\times 10^{4} M_{\odot}$. Unlike that found for isolated young star clusters, we find a strong correlation between the complex mass and radius, namely $M\propto R^{2.33 \pm 0.19}$. This is similar to that found for giant molecular clouds (GMCs). By comparing the mass-radius relation of GMCs in M51 to that of the complexes we can estimate the star formation efficiency within the complexes, although this value is heavily dependent on the assumed CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor. The complexes studied here have the same surface density distribution as individual young star clusters and GMCs. If star formation within the complexes is proportional to the gas density at that point, then the shared mass-radius relation of GMCs and complexes is a natural consequence of their shared density profiles. We briefly discuss possibilities for the lack of a mass-radius relation for young star clusters. We note that many of the complexes show evidence of merging of star clusters in their centres, suggesting that larger star clusters can be produced through the build up of smaller clusters.

description: The complete next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) QCD correction matched with next-to-next-to leading logarithm (NNLL) has been studied for Drell-Yan production through spin-2 particle at the Large hadron collider (LHC). We consider generic spin-2 particle which couples differently to the quarks and the gluons (non-universal scenario). The threshold enhanced analytical coefficient has been obtained up to third order exploiting the universality of the soft function as well as the process dependent form factors at the same order. We performed a detailed phenomenological analysis and give prediction for the 13 TeV LHC for the search of such BSM signature. We found that the matched correction at the second order gives sizeable corrections over wide range of invariant mass of the lepton pair. The scale variation also stabilizes at this order and reduces to 4%. As a by-product we also provide ingredients for third order soft-virtual (SV) prediction as well as resummation and study the impact on LHC searches.

description: Neuron labeling is an approach to visualize the behaviour and respond of a certain neuron to a certain pattern that activates the neuron. Neuron labeling extract information about the features captured by certain neurons in a deep neural network, one of which uses the encoder-decoder image captioning approach. The encoder used can be a pretrained CNN-based model and the decoder is an RNN-based model for text generation. Previous work, namely MILAN (Mutual Information-guided Linguistic Annotation of Neuron), has tried to visualize the neuron behaviour using modified Show, Attend, and Tell (SAT) model in the encoder, and LSTM added with Bahdanau attention in the decoder. MILAN can show great result on short sequence neuron captioning, but it does not show great result on long sequence neuron captioning, so in this work, we would like to improve the performance of MILAN even more by utilizing different kind of attention mechanism and additionally adding several attention result into one, in order to combine all the advantages from several attention mechanism. Using our compound dataset, we obtained higher BLEU and F1-Score on our proposed model, achieving 17.742 and 0.4811 respectively. At some point where the model converges at the peak, our model obtained BLEU of 21.2262 and BERTScore F1-Score of 0.4870.

description: Several processes of meson production in proton-deuteron collisions have been measured simultaneously using a calibrated magnetic spectrograph. Among these processes, the $η$ meson is seen clearly as a sharp missing--mass peak on a slowly varying background in the $p+d\to ^3\textrm{He} +X$ reaction. Knowing the kinematics of the other reactions with well determined masses, it is possible to deduce a precise mass for the $η$ meson. The final result, $m(η)=547.311\pm 0.028 \textrm{(stat)} \pm 0.032 \textrm{(syst) MeV/c}^2$, is significantly lower than that found by the recent NA48 measurement, though it is consistent with values obtained in earlier counter experiments.

description: Substitution plays a prominent role in the foundation and implementation of mathematics and computation. In the lambda calculus, we cannot define alpha congruence without a form of substitution but for substitution and reduction to work, we need to assume a form of alpha congruence (e.g., when we take lambda terms modulo bound variables). Students on a lambda calculus course usually find this confusing. The elegant writings and research of the Curry school have settled this problem very well. This article is an ode to the contributions of the Curry school (especially the excellent book of Hindley and Seldin) on the subject of alpha congruence and substitution.

The use of visual mental imagery in new product design
Creators: name: Dahl, Darren W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation seeks to advance our understanding of how marketing principles can be used to improve the process of new product design. Specifically, it examines the potential of a specific cognitive process, visual mental imagery, as a tool to help designers maximize the appeal of new products in the eyes of their customers. A conceptual framework is presented that describes a process through which visual mental imagery might influence the customer appeal of a design output. This is followed by two experiments which test the hypotheses that flow from this model. The experiments manipulate both the type of visual imagery utilized, and the incorporation of the customer in the imagery invoked (content of the imagery), in order to examine their effects on the usefulness, originality, and customer appeal of the resulting design. Consistent with the proposed framework and its hypotheses, visualization of the customer, as part of the imagery process, proved to enhance design usefulness when this imagery was imagination-based, but not when it was memory-based. Furthermore, use of imagination-based imagery resulted in more original designs than pure memory-based imagery. Finally, and most importantly, the use of customer visualization in combination with imagination-based imagery led to designs that were significantly more appealing to the customer. An analysis of covariance subsequently revealed that this improvement in customer appeal was mediated both by the perceived usefulness of the design, and by its degree of originality. The dissertation concludes with the integration of the experimental findings, and a discussion of the potential of visual imagery as a tool in the new product design process.

We also derive modifications of this product formula and its extension to the situation when $P$ is replaced by a strongly continuous projection-valued function satisfying $P(0)=P$.

description: We present the SCUBA Legacy Catalogues, two comprehensive sets of continuum maps (and catalogues) using data at 850 microns and 450 microns of the various astronomical objects obtained with the Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA). The Fundamental Map Dataset contains data only where superior atmospheric opacity calibration data were available. The Extended Map Dataset is comprised of data regardless of the quality of the opacity calibration. Each Dataset contains 1.2 degree x 1.2 degree maps at locations where data existed in the JCMT archive, imaged using the matrix inversion method. The Fundamental Dataset is comprised of 1423 maps at 850 microns and 1357 maps at 450 microns. The Extended Dataset is comprised of 1547 maps at 850 microns. Neither Dataset includes high sensitivity, single chop SCUBA maps of "cosmological fields" nor solar system objects. Each Dataset was used to determine a respective Object Catalogue, consisting of objects identified within the respective 850 micron maps using an automated identification algorithm. The Fundamental and Extended Map Object Catalogues contain 5061 and 6118 objects respectively. Objects are named based on their respective J2000 position of peak 850 micron intensity. The Catalogues provide for each object the respective maximum 850 micron intensity, estimates of total 850 micron flux and size, and tentative identifications from the SIMBAD Database. Where possible, the Catalogues als provide for each object its maximum 450 micron intensity and total 450 micron flux, and flux ratios. Data products, machine-readable tables and a full version of the paper can be retrieved at http://www.cadc.hia.nrc.gc.ca/community/scubalegacy .

description: The refugee crisis in the Middle East is the largest and most pressing displacement crisis of our time. As the crisis unfolds, it is clear that a majority of asylum seekers and refugees are encumbered by mental health stress due to the traumas suffered throughout the conflicts they fled. It is crucial to understand the socioeconomic and political determinants of mental health that refugees are subjected to through displacement in order to elevate the quality of healthcare and to pursue better mental health outcomes. Refugees contribute to host nations’ workforces, whilst endeavoring to integrate into their societies. Yet mental health stress and its stigma hinder the rehabilitation of those who fled persecution. Establishing a better understanding of refugee mental health allows healthcare professionals and policy makers to provide better care for these populations by developing effective measures that support rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to analyze the socioeconomic and political determinants of mental health of refugees in the Middle East through a review of the existing literature, in conjunction with my observations and experiences serving as a medical assistant in U.N. High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) clinics in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Results indicate that mental stress affects refugees not only during the course of displacement, but also during the asylum seeking process, further demonstrating a need for revised measures. Therefore, I suggest future directions in healthcare protocols and policy making that would improve the quality of life and the mental health of refugees and asylum seekers.

description: A comparative study is performed on two heterodyne systems of photon detectors expressed in terms of a signal annihilation operator and an image band creation operator called Shapiro-Wagner and Caves' frame, respectively. This approach is based on the introduction of a convenient operator $\hat ψ$ which allows a unified formulation of both cases. For the Shapiro-Wagner scheme, where $[\hat ψ, \hat ψ^†] =0$, quantum phase and amplitude are exactly defined in the context of relative number state (RNS) representation, while a procedure is devised to handle suitably and in a consistent way Caves' framework, characterized by $[\hat ψ, \hat ψ^†] \neq 0$, within the approximate simultaneous measurements of noncommuting variables. In such a case RNS phase and amplitude make sense only approximately.

description: We present measurements of the local core collapse supernova (SN) rate using SN discoveries from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We use a Monte Carlo simulation of hundreds of millions of SN light curve realizations coupled with the detailed PTF survey detection efficiencies to forward-model the SN rates in PTF. Using a sample of 86 core collapse SNe, including 26 stripped-envelope SNe (SESNe), we show that the overall core collapse SN volumetric rate is $r^\mathrm{CC}_v=9.10_{-1.27}^{+1.56}\times10^{-5}\,\text{SNe yr}^{-1}\,\text{Mpc}^{-3}\, h_{70}^{3}$ at $ \langle z \rangle = 0.028$, and the SESN volumetric rate is $r^\mathrm{SE}_v=2.41_{-0.64}^{+0.81}\times10^{-5}\, \text{SNe yr}^{-1}\,\text{Mpc}^{-3}\, h_{70}^{3}$. We further measure a volumetric rate for hydrogen-free superluminous SNe (SLSNe-I) using 8 events at $z{\le}0.2$ of $r^\mathrm{SLSN-I}_v=35_{-13}^{+25}\, \text{SNe yr}^{-1}\text{Gpc}^{-3}\, h_{70}^{3}$, which represents the most precise SLSN-I rate measurement to date. Using a simple cosmic star-formation history to adjust these volumetric rate measurements to the same redshift, we measure a local ratio of SLSN-I to SESN of $\sim1/810^{+1500}_{-94}$, and of SLSN-I to all CCSN types of $\sim 1/3500^{+2800}_{-720}$. However, using host galaxy stellar mass as a proxy for metallicity, we also show that this ratio is strongly metallicity dependent: in low-mass ($\mathrm{log} M_{*} < 9.5 \mathrm{M}_\odot$) galaxies, which are the only environments that host SLSN-I in our sample, we measure a SLSN-I to SESN fraction of $1/300^{+380}_{-170}$ and $1/1700^{+1800}_{-720}$ for all CCSN. We further investigate the SN rates a function of host galaxy stellar mass and show that the specific rates of all core collapse SNe decrease with increasing stellar mass.

description: Using the general factorization approach, we present a detailed investigation for the branching ratios, CP asymmetries and longitudinal polarization fractions in all charmless hadronic $B \to VV$ decays (except for the pure annihilation processes) within the most general two-Higgs-doublet model with spontaneous CP violation. It is seen that such a new physics model only has very small contributions to the branching ratios and longitudinal polarization fractions. However, as the model has rich CP-violating sources, it can lead to significant effects on the CP asymmetries, especially on those of penguin-dominated decay modes, which provides good signals for probing new physics beyond the SM in the future B-physics experiments.

description: The measurement of wave and / or ice loads on coastal and maritime structures can play an important role in their final design. The number and range of man-made structures that are subject to these loads is increasing – from offshore oil and gas facilities, through ships and, renewable energy devices, to breakwaters, quay walls, bridges and tunnels. This Foresight Study was produced by member of the HYDRALAB Joint Research Activity 'Hydraulic Response of Structures' (HyReS) on how the physical modelling of the interactions between structures and wave or ice forces may evolve. It starts with a review of the present state-of-the art, identifies present shortcomings and identifies likely future developments. The anticipated short-term advances include the development of: sampling schemes to allow shorter test series to be run; methods for computing the low-frequency response of floating structures; wave-generation techniques for tsunamis; shallow-water wave generation for wind waves; tactile pressure sensors to measure forces that vary in space and time; active transducers to reproduce non-linear mooring lines; remote sensing of water levels over wide areas; optical and acoustic devices for making measurements over surfaces or in 3D volumes; and data access through development of met-data and data standards and data-transfer techniques. The longer-term (more speculative) changes that are anticipated include the: development of composite models with full two-way coupling between numerical and physical models in real time; drawing together of physical modellers with CFD modellers, who are developing numerical flumes and wave basins, to address similar problems; continued reduction in sensor size, improvements in resolution, increases in sampling frequency and improved spatial coverage, leading to much more detailed datasets; development of the active laboratory, with many more computer-controlled non-linear devices; improved treatment of uncertainty; and More open access to data as part of a wider movement towards open science.

description: The 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics distinguished two research projects on black holes, which are one of the most striking predictions of General Relativity. The prize was divided in two parts. The first half was awarded to Roger Penrose in recognition of his singularity theorems that guarantee that black holes, which were mathematically found since an early stage of the study of General Relativity, are not mere highly-symmetric, curious gravitational configurations, but robust predictions of the theory. The second half was awarded to Andrea Ghez and Reinhard Genzel who led two independent groups that carried out sophisticated observations of the center of our galaxy, which suggest that therein is a supermassive black hole. In this note, the main ideas of the theory of general relativity are briefly described, as well as the main features of black holes. The two works awarded in the aforementioned Nobel prize are described.

description: sEMG pattern recognition algorithms have been explored extensively in decoding movement intent, yet are known to be vulnerable to changing recording conditions, exhibiting significant drops in performance across subjects, and even across sessions. Multi-channel surface EMG, also referred to as high-density sEMG (HD-sEMG) systems, have been used to improve performance with the information collected through the use of additional electrodes. However, a lack of robustness is ever present due to limited datasets and the difficulties in addressing sources of variability, such as electrode placement. In this study, we propose training on a collection of input channel subsets and augmenting our training distribution with data from different electrode locations, simultaneously targeting electrode shift and reducing input dimensionality. Our method increases robustness against electrode shift and results in significantly higher intersession performance across subjects and classification algorithms.

description: In this note we study CFT$_2$ Virasoro conformal blocks with heavy operators in the large-$c$ limit in the context of AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ correspondence. We compute the lengths of the holographic Steiner trees dual to the $5$-point and $6$-point conformal blocks using the superlight approximation when one or more dimensions are much less than the others. These results are generalized for $N$-point holographic Steiner trees dual to $(N+1)$-point conformal blocks with superlight weights.
