Just Take the Average! An Embarrassingly Simple $2^n$-Time Algorithm for SVP (and CVP)

Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)

description: We show a $2^{n+o(n)}$-time (and space) algorithm for the Shortest Vector Problem on lattices (SVP) that works by repeatedly running an embarrassingly simple "pair and average" sieving-like procedure on a list of lattice vectors. This matches the running time (and space) of the current fastest known algorithm, due to Aggarwal, Dadush, Regev, and Stephens-Davidowitz (ADRS, in STOC, 2015), with a far simpler algorithm. Our algorithm is in fact a modification of the ADRS algorithm, with a certain careful rejection sampling step removed. The correctness of our algorithm follows from a more general "meta-theorem," showing that such rejection sampling steps are unnecessary for a certain class of algorithms and use cases. In particular, this also applies to the related $2^{n + o(n)}$-time algorithm for the Closest Vector Problem (CVP), due to Aggarwal, Dadush, and Stephens-Davidowitz (ADS, in FOCS, 2015), yielding a similar embarrassingly simple algorithm for $γ$-approximate CVP for any $γ= 1+2^{-o(n/\log n)}$. (We can also remove the rejection sampling procedure from the $2^{n+o(n)}$-time ADS algorithm for exact CVP, but the resulting algorithm is still quite complicated.)

description: The K$^-$ condensation and quark deconfinement phase transitions are investigated in the modified quark-meson coupling model. It is shown that K$^-$ condensation is suppressed because of the quark deconfinement when $B^{1/4}$1.68M$_{\odot}$ is confirmed, all the present EOSes with condensed phase and deconfined phase would be ruled out and therefore these exotic phases are unlikely to appear within neutron stars.

subject: FOS: Psychology

description: Purpose The authors sought to investigate the influence of a comprehensive range of factors on the decision making of caregivers of children with hearing loss regarding the use of speech, the use of sign, spoken language multilingualism, and spoken language choice. This is a companion article to the qualitative investigation described in Crowe, Fordham, McLeod, and Ching (2014) .
Method Through a questionnaire, 177 caregivers of 157 Australian children with hearing loss (ages 3;5 to 9;4 [years;months], Mage = 6;6) rated the importance of a range of potential influences on their decision making regarding their children's communication. The majority of children were reported to use speech (96.6%) as part or all of their communication system, with fewer children reported to use sign (20.9%). Few children used more than one spoken language (8.3%).
Results Proportional analyses and exploratory factor analyses were conducted. Overall, caregivers' decisions were influenced by their children's audiological and intervention characteristics, communication with those around them, community participation, access to intervention and education services in English, and concerns about their children's future lives. The advice of speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and specialist teachers was more important to caregivers than advice from medical practitioners and nonprofessionals.
Conclusion Caregivers' decision making regarding communication mode and language use is influenced by factors that are not equally weighted and that relate to child, family, community, and advice from others. Knowledge of these factors can assist professionals in supporting caregivers making choices regarding communication.

description: Marine ecosystems are increasingly affected by pollutants and human-induced pressures, leading to significant environmental and ecological concerns. Deliverable 8.2 of the NECCTON project reports on advancements in WP8, on developing and improving models to assess the fate, transport, and impact of pollutants and anthropogenic stressors in marine environments.

This report presents the methodologies and progress made in modeling microplastics, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), mercury, and oil spills, alongside assessments of fisheries pressure and climate-related stressors.

Key outcomes include:

•            New modeling frameworks for pollutant transport and degradation, integrating hydrodynamic and biogeochemical processes.

•            Fisheries pressure model, evaluating bottom trawling effects on benthic organisms and habitat degradation.

•            Tool to address climate change stress

•            Model validation efforts, ensuring accuracy through comparisons with observational data, are addressed here but will be further evaluated and compared with those already in use by CMEMS and by other WPs in the next months.

These developments contribute to NECCTON’s overarching goal of improving marine monitoring and prediction capabilities, supporting European and global environmental directives such as the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

nanofibrous structures

description: The research and development of nanofibrous drug carriers is a hot topic in the field of controlled drug delivery. However, nanofi- brous systems have many unique properties that force the search for new approaches to describe and predict the release of bioactive compounds from nanofibers. This dissertation aimed to research and develop polymeric nanofiber systems mainly for use in skin medicine. In this study, various molecules were incorporated into nanofibers by electrospinning, and the fabricated materials were characterized in terms of key parameters relevant to the resulting applications. The mathematical model developed in this study en- ables a more accurate determination of drug diffusion coeicients and prediction of drug release kinetics based on fiber morphology. The work also resulted in a method to eiciently encapsulate sen- sitive biomolecules into polymer nanofibers' structure. The results of this study can serve as a good platform for further studies in the manufacturing and characterization of electrospun wound dress- ings. In addition, this work provides insights into previously unex- plored mechanisms of drug release from nanofibers.

description: Materials with the olivine LixMPO4 structure form an important new class of materials for rechargeable Li batteries. There is significant interest in their electronic properties because of the importance of electronic conductivity in batteries for high rate applications. The density of states of LixMPO4 (x = 0, 1 and M = Fe, Mn) has been determined with the ab initio GGA+U method, appropriate for these correlated electron systems. Computed results are compared with the optical gap of LiFePO4, as measured using UV-Vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The results obtained from experiment (3.8-4.0 eV) and GGA+U computations (3.7 eV) are in very good agreement. However, standard GGA, without the same level of treatment of electron correlation, is shown to make large errors in predicting the electronic structure. It is argued that olivines are likely to be polaronic conductors with extrinsically determined carrier levels and that their electronic conductivity is therefore not simply related to the band gap.

Applications of Exact Renormalization Group techniques to the non-perturbative study of supersymmetric gauge field theory

Year: 2000

description: Exact Renormalization Group techniques are applied to supersymmetric models in order to get some insights into the low energy effective actions of such theories. Starting from the ultra-violet finite mass deformed N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, one varies the regularising mass and compensates for it by introducing an effective Wilsonian action. (Polchinski's) Renormalization Group equation is modified in an essential way by the presence of rescaling (a.k.a. Konishi) anomaly, which is responsible for the beta-function. When supersymmetry is broken up to N=1 the form of effective actions in terms of massless fields is quite reasonable, while in the case of the N=2 model we appear to have problems related to instantons.

Representing embeddability as set inclusion

description: Abstract: "A few steps are made towards representation theory of embeddability among uncountable graphs. A monotone class of graphs is defined by forbidding countable subgraphs, related to the graphs [sic] end-structure. Using a combinatorial theorem of Shelah it is proved: - The complexity of the class in every regular uncountable [lambda] > NΓéü is at least [lambda superscript plus] + sup[mu superscript NΓéÇ] : [mu superscript plus] < [lambda] - For all regular uncountable [lambda] > NΓéü there are 2[superscript lambda] pairwise non embeddable graphs in the class having strong homogeneity properties. - It is characterized when some invariants of a graph G [element of] G[subscript lambda] have to be inherited by one of fewer than [lambda] subgraphs whose union covers G. All three results are obtained as corollaries of a representation theorem (Theorem 1.10 below), that asserts the existence of a surjective homomorphism from the relation of embeddability over isomorphism types of regular cardinality [lambda] > NΓéü onto set inclusion over all subsets of reals or cardinality [lambda] or less. Continuity properties of the homomorphism are used to extend the first result to all singular cardinals below the first cardinal fixed point of second order. The first result shows that, unlike what Shelah showed in the class of all graphs, the relations of embeddability in this class is not independent of negations of the GCH."

description: Climate change impacts are exerting increasing pressure on food systems, particularly in sub- Saharan countries like Uganda. This study aims to enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of tomato production in Uganda through the promotion of precision irrigation (PI). A field experiment was conducted over two consecutive dry seasons in the Kampala region, comparing the water productivity of two PI systems: a fully automated drip irrigation system incorporating Watermark soil moisture sensors and LoRa radio technology, and a manual drip irrigation system utilizing Chameleon sensors designed for low-income countries. Additionally, a water deficit variant was included to investigate the effects of irrigation on fruit quality parameters and potential shelf-life improvements. To gain deeper insights into the requirements for successful PI adoption, an implementation report was compiled, incorporating qualitative interviews conducted across different regions in Uganda and a comprehensive literature review. The irrigation experiment demonstrated a productivity improvement of 5t ha−1 with the automated system over the manual control, indicating the potential profitability increase of PI technology. The system using Chameleon sensors resulted in a comparable yield and showed superior crop productivity compared to the automated system. Both the field experiment and the implementation report identified financial and infrastructure challenges as the major hurdles in implementing PI systems in Uganda. Additionally, the lack of integrated pest management was found to reduce the productivity and sustainability of tomato production in Uganda. To address these challenges and enhance climate change resilience, the adoption of contextualized PI systems that enable increased dry season cropping is recommended.
The Sun, stellar-population models, and the age estimation of high-redshift galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Given sufficiently deep optical spectroscopy, the age estimation of high-redshif t ($z > 1$) galaxies has been claimed to be a relatively robust process (e.g. Dunlop et al. 1996) due to the fact that, for ages $< 5$Gyr, the near-ultraviolet light of a stellar population is expected to be dominated by `well-understood' main-sequence (MS) stars. Recently, however, the reliability of this process has been called into question by Yi et al (2000), who claim to have developed models in which the spectrum produced by the main sequence reddens much more rapidly than in the models of Jimenez et al (2000a), leading to much younger age estimates for the reddest known high-redshift ellipticals. In support of their revised age estimates, Yi et al cite the fact that their models can reproduce the spectrum of the Sun at an age of 5 Gyr, whereas the solar spectrum is not reproduced by the Jimenez et al models until $\simeq 10$ Gyr. Here we confirm this discrepancy, but point out that this is in fact a {\it strength} of the Jimenez et al models and indicative of some flaw in the models of Yi et al (which, in effect, imply that the Sun will turn into a red giant any minute now). We have also explored the models of Worthey (1994) (which are known to differ greatly from those of Jimenez et al in the treatment of post-MS evolution) and find that the main-sequence component of Worthey's models also cannot reproduce the solar spectrum until an age of 9-10 Gyr. We conclude that either the models of Yi et al are not as main-sequence dominated at 4-5 Gyr as claimed, or that the stellar evolutionary timescale in these models is in error by a factor possibly as high as two.

description: We discuss the structural and topological properties of a general class of weighted $L^1$ convolutor spaces. Our theory simultaneously applies to weighted $\mathcal{D}'_{L^1}$ spaces as well as to convolutor spaces of the Gelfand-Shilov spaces $\mathcal{K}\{M_p\}$. In particular, we characterize the sequences of weight functions $(M_p)_{p \in \mathbb{N}}$ for which the space of convolutors of $\mathcal{K}\{M_p\}$ is ultrabornological, thereby generalizing Grothendieck's classical result for the space $\mathcal{O}'_{C}$ of rapidly decreasing distributions. Our methods lead to the first direct proof of the completeness of the space $\mathcal{O}_{C}$ of very slowly increasing smooth functions.

description: Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dienogest (DNG) in women with symptomatic adenomyosis.Methods: Women with symptomatic adenomyosis were included in this retrospective observation study. Group 1 (maximum uterine dimension ≥ 100.0 mm) began DNG after 4 months of GnRH-a administration, Group 2 (maximum uterine dimension < 100.0 mm) received DNG with no prior GnRH-a treatment. All women were assessed for their pain symptoms, uterine size, adverse effects and laboratory hematology at baseline and every 6 months during the treatment.Results: 123 women were enrolled in this study, in Group 1 (71 women) with severe uterine enlargement, the median VAS score was 80 mm prior to GnRH-a administration and 10, 10, 10, 20, and 20 mm, respectively, after 0, 6,12,18, and 24 months of DNG treatment. The mean uterine volume decreased from 262.9 ml to 104.7 ml after GnRH-a therapy, and slowly increased from 104.7 ml to 139.5 ml after 24 month-treatment of DNG. Another 52 women with mild uterine enlargement received DNG without prior GnRH-a administration, median VAS score was 70 mm at baseline and decreased to 20, 20, 10, and 10 mm at 6,12,18, and 24 months. The mean uterine volume slightly decreased from 157.9 ml to 153.3 ml after 24 months of DNG treatment (p > 0.05). All laboratory parameters were in the normal range.Conclusions: DNG is effective and well tolerated as a long-term treatment for symptomatic adenomyosis, and it can be used as maintenance therapy after discontinuation of GnRH-a administration.

description: We report results of magnetization, zero field resistivity and magnetoresistance measurements in ferromagnetic Heusler alloy Co$_2$TiSn. There is a striking change in the character of electron transport as the system undergoes the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition. In the paramagnetic state the nature of the electron transport is like that of a semiconductor and this changes abruptly to metallic behaviour at the onset of ferromagnetic ordering. Application of external magnetic field tends to suppress this semiconducting like transport leading to a negative magnetoresistance which reaches a peak in the vicinity of Curie temperature. Comparison is made with the similar unusual behaviour observed in other systems including UNiSn and manganites.

description: Purpose: To identify and synthesize qualitative literature on the experiences of participants and key stakeholders in dance programs for people living with Parkinson’s disease. Synthesizing the available literature can generate new insights into participant experience to inform current and future programs. Materials and Methods: Qualitative and mixed methods studies were identified via a systematic search of six databases: CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, PsycInfo, and MEDLINE. Articles were synthesized using the meta-ethnographic method developed by Noblit and Hare (1988). Key concepts across studies were related via reciprocal translation, ultimately forming a line-of-argument synthesis. Results: 26 articles met the inclusion criteria. Four interrelated, overarching themes were developed: (1) dance communities provide peer support and insight into living with Parkinson’s, (2) feeling safe, accepted, and included in the dance experience, (3) overcoming dance-based challenges contributes to sense of achievement, confidence, and connectedness, and (4) dance participation is an opportunity to re-imagine oneself. Conclusion: Participant experience is shaped by the instructor-participant relationship, the social environment of classes, and class difficulty level. In order to support participant experience, classes should be safe, supportive, and have an appropriate challenge-skill balance. These qualities facilitate creative immersion and the potential for personal and collective change.

description: The thermal properties of a material with a spatio-temporal modulation in both the thermal conductivity and the mass density are studied. The special configuration studied here consists of a modulation in a wave-like fashion. It is found that these materials behaves, in an effective way, as materials with an internal convection-like term that provides them of non-reciprocal properties, in the sense that the flow of heat has different properties when it propagates in the same direction or in the opposite one to the modulation of the parameters. An effective medium description is presented which accurately describes the modulated material, and numerical simulations supports both the non-reciprocal properties and the effective medium description. It is found that these materials are promising candidates for the design of thermal diodes and other advanced devices for the control of the heat flow at all scales.

description: Cyclonephelium brevireticulatum is a new organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst described from the upper Maastrichtian Arkadelphia Formation, Hot Spring County, Arkansas, USA. Cyclonephelium brevireticulatum sp. nov. is distinguished from other species of this genus by its small size, and by processes of very low relief (<5 µm) which connect linearly to form a chain or mesh-like micro-reticulation along the outer margin of the cyst. The study site is an outcrop of the Arkadelphia Formation which is exposed along the Ouachita River during low water conditions. Cyclonephelium brevireticulatum is a common taxon at this site and co-occurs with late Maastrichtian dinoflagellate cysts including Dinogymnium spp., Disphaerogena carposphaeropsis Wetzel 1933, Trithyrodinium evittii Drugg 1967, Deflandrea galeata (Lejeune-Carpentier 1942) Lentin & Williams 1973, Pierceites pentagonus (May 1980) Habib and Drugg 1987, Palynodinium grallator Gocht 1970, along with rare occurrences of Manumiella spp. and the latest early Maastrichtian taxon Alterbidinium acutulum (Wilson 1967) Lentin & Williams 1985. Specimens of the late Maastrichtian pollen, Rugubivesiculites spp., have also been recorded throughout the section. Although the uppermost geologic range of the new species appears to conform to the lower part of the Discoscaphites iris ammonite zone which correlates with calcareous nannofossil zone CC26b, the ammonite occurrences are too scarce to be certain at this time.

description: Palynology is a relatively young science in China. It is accepted conventionally that the earliest papers are those by Jen Hsü, regarded as ‘the pioneer of palynology in China’, from 1950 onwards. This is clearly not so – geographer Su Ting (1913–2000) published an earlier paper on Chinese pollen grains in 1949, having included pollen-analytical research in a largely geomorphological doctoral thesis in 1937 – the first PhD by a Chinese citizen at the University of Glasgow. Caught-up in the civil war between Communist and Nationalist forces, Ting had left China for the then British colony of Hong Kong in 1949 and arrived in Los Angeles in 1957 where he termed himself William Su Ting. In Los Angeles he conducted palynological and other research, initially with Daniel Axelrod, eventually retiring as Professor of Geography from California State University in 1979. Ting maintained a long correspondence with Gunnar Erdtman which informs this account along with additional archival and family material. Although Ting was the first Chinese palynologist to work in mainland China, an added element is represented by the Japanese workers Misaburo Shimakura and Genkei Masamune, who performed pollen-analytical investigations in Mainland China and Taiwan respectively in the early 1940s, when this territory was under Japanese control. Ting’s unpublished research on sites in Orkney and the Isle of Bute mark him as one of the UK’s pioneer workers in palynology. His North American publications reflect a willingness to grapple with issues as diverse as Quaternary and pre-Quaternary palaeoecology, pollen morphology, microscopy and statistics.

HD 16141 (G5 IV) has a period of 75.8 d and a velocity amplitude of 11 m/s, yielding a companion having Msini = 0.22 Mjup and a semimajor axis, a = 0.35 AU. HD 46375 (K1 IV/V) has a period of 3.024 d and a velocity amplitude of 35 m/s, yielding a companion with Msini=0.25 Mjup, a semimajor axis of a = 0.041 AU, and an eccentricity of 0.04 (consistent with zero). These companions contribute to the rising planet mass function toward lower masses.

description: The different geographical origins of Baltic, Bitterfeld and Ukrainian ambers may be reflected in differences in their preserved fungal spores and plant pollen. In this study, over 573 palynomorphs were isolated through solvent extraction and the differences in their morphological characteristics examined using conventional transmitted light microscopy to explore this hypothesis. The spore spectra in the Baltic, Bitterfeld and Ukrainian samples differed considerably whereas the pollen spectra differed only marginally. In the Ukrainian ambers, the isolated fungal spores were primarily basidiomycetes (mostly Coprinus s.l., Strophariaceae and similar taxa with thick-walled, melanised spores), indicative of a moist environment rich in decaying plant debris. The first amber-based evidence for Ilex was found in the Bitterfeld samples and for members of the Juglandaceae in those from the Baltic. Overall, the pollen spectra were consistent with earlier findings on Eocene-Oligocene vegetation and climate. The mixed forests of those geological epochs are the hallmark of a habitat containing multifaceted niches for animals and obviously fungi.

description: The negative parity states of $^{11}$B and $^{11}$C were studied based on the calculations of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics(AMD). The calculations well reproduced the experimental strengths of Gamov-Teller(GT), $M1$ and monopole transitions. We, especially, focused on the $3/2^-_3$ and $5/2^-_2$ states, for which GT transition strengths were recently measured. The weak $M1$ and GT transitions for the $3/2^-_3$ in $^{11}$B and $^{11}$C are described by a well-developed cluster structure of $2α$+$t$ and $2α$+$^3$He, respectively, while the strong transitions for the $5/2^-_2$ is characterized by an intrinsic spin excitation with no cluster structure. It was found that the $3/2^-_3$ state is a dilute cluster state, and its features are similar to those of the $^{12}$C$(0^+_2)$ which is considered to be a gas state of three $α$ clusters.

A directed walk model of a long chain polymer in a slit with attractive walls

description: We present the exact solutions of various directed walk models of polymers confined to a slit and interacting with the walls of the slit via an attractive potential. We consider three geometric constraints on the ends of the polymer and concentrate on the long chain limit. Apart from the general interest in the effect of geometrical confinement this can be viewed as a two-dimensional model of steric stabilization and sensitized flocculation of colloidal dispersions. We demonstrate that the large width limit admits a phase diagram that is markedly different from the one found in a half-plane geometry, even when the polymer is constrained to be fixed at both ends on one wall. We are not able to find a closed form solution for the free energy for finite width, at all values of the interaction parameters, but we can calculate the asymptotic behaviour for large widths everywhere in the phase plane. This allows us to find the force between the walls induced by the polymer and hence the regions of the plane where either steric stabilization or sensitized flocculation would occur.

description: Saturation of the intensity dependence of the refractive index is directly computed from ionization rates via a Kramers-Kronig transform. The linear intensity dependence and its dispersion are found in excellent agreement with complete quantum mechanical orbital computations. Higher-order terms concur with solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. Expanding the formalism to all orders up to the ionization potential of the atom, we derive a model for saturation of the Kerr effect. This model widely confirms recently published and controversially discussed experimental data and corroborates the importance of higher-order Kerr terms for filamentation.
Report on nutritional recommendations (D2.6)

description: Interest in uptake of research products has immensely grown hence, the need to clearly express the researchers’ envisioned utilization of derived data, findings, results, technologies and innovations. Therefore, the research by FoodLAND not only offers new knowledge, technologies and innovations but also offers pathways to their utilization and exploitation at the local country and specific regional levels. The results are presented in formats, such as nutritional recommendations (NRs), in which packaging of the FoodLAND results and deliverables envisions their sustainability in form of exploitable results. This report is a presentation of both the situational architecture, that landscapes the nutritional issues in FoodLAND project implementation sites and nutritional recommendations derived from FoodLAND’s work; in readiness for their uptake and exploitation of the latter by the country governments both at national and regional/county levels. The main objective of the task was to generate nutritional recommendations; inclusive of backdrops that provide enhanced understanding of the context of the nutritional issues and possible pathways to the exploitation of the NRs.
Vector-like quarks and heavy coloured bosons at the LHC

description: We investigate the production of heavy coloured scalars and vectors and their relevance at LHC for the study of vector-like quarks ($T$). These coloured states ($C$) are present in a large number of extensions of the standard model, in particular in composite models and in extra dimensional models. Assuming that these bosonic states are heavier than the vector-like quarks (VLQ), we consider their production through the process $p~p\rightarrow C\rightarrow tT$. Large QCD production cross-sections for $C$ enable us to probe heavier masses for the VLQ and thereby allowing to put stronger limits on the vector-like quarks which are produced in their decay chain. We adopt a universal analysis strategy by including leptons under the classification of `jets', thereby limiting the bias towards a specific combination of final state. We also study the possibility of disentangling these scenarios from supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model by using simple discriminants based on jet multiplicity and missing energy. We demonstrate that a simple set of cuts are sufficient to disentangle the VLQ signal from the backgrounds. In models with a moderate $B.R.(C\rightarrow Tt)$, the analysis enables one to get a hint of VLQ masses as heavy as 3 TeV.

description: This article that is published on the CMI Insight examines the drivers and barriers faced by solo self-employed in the UK. During COVID, the rise of self-employment has risen due to lockdown and redundancies. We suggest what to watch out for when moving into this way of working during a time when many favour job security. In this article we provide a broad overview on what to watch out for when thinking of becoming solo self-employed and encourage debate from practitioners, policymakers and other stakeholder groups. This is with a view to mapping out how to best support CMI readers either wishing to increase outsourcing to freelancers by established firms or for readers seeking the high level of freedom and work autonomy that this way of working offers. We recommend that those who want to take advantage of increased outsourcing to freelancers by established firms that enables firms to be more flexible and agile, and the level of freedom and work autonomy, need to think twice whether solo self-employment is for them before taking the plunge. Understanding the ramification of â€˜leading aloneâ€™ allows the entrepreneur to make the right choice. Unfortunately, there are few accessible guidelines available to those who are considering becoming solo self-employed. This could be something that policymakers have to consider when supporting people who have been made redundant back to employment. It will be more equally important to those who prefer to do their own research on what is best for them as not everybody has the courage to seek support or know where to seek support from.

description: Little information about the contribution of plants to the production of honey by bees exists for southern Brazil. Information on this dynamic is crucial to maintaining the health of bees, the pollination of forests and assisting in the management of apiaries and meliponaries. The objective of the study was to elucidate which plants the bees visit for the production of honey in Rio Grande do Sul (RS), southern Brazil. 43 honey samples were selected from Apis mellifera, Tetragonisca angustula, Melipona quadrifasciata, Scaptotrigona bipunctata, Plebeia remota and Plebeia droryana. The honey samples were submitted to acetolysis. 110 pollen types were found in all honey samples from bees of Apis mellifera (97 pollen types), Melipona quadrifasciata quadrifasciata (14 pollen types), Tetragonisca angustula (46 pollen types), Scaptotrigona bipunctata (8 pollen types), Plebeia remota (17 pollen types) and Plebeia droryana (8 pollen types). The high pollen percentage of tree species in the samples stands out, ranging from 16.8% to 99.8%. The samples were grouped into seven groups by CONISS, called Melis-1, Melis-2, Melis-3, Melis-4, Melis-5, Melis-6 and Melis 7, and these are related to the floral resources of the studied bees. Some pollen types showed high percentages in honeys from Apis mellifera (pollen types of Eucalyptus sp. Myrcia type, Casearia sylvestris, Hovenia dulcis, Mimosa scabrella, Lamanonia ternata, Clethra scabra, Baccharis type and Weinmannia paulliniifolia), Tetragonisca angustula (pollen types of Eryngium sp./Petroselinum crispum, Handroanthus sp., Sorocea bonplandii and Parapiptadenia rigida), Melipona quadrifasciata quadrifasciata (pollen types of Myrcia type, Eucalyptus sp. and Mimosa bimucronata), Scaptotrigona bipunctata (pollen types of Allophylus edulis, Butia type and Parapiptadenia rigida), Plebeia remota (pollen types of Myrcia type, Butia type and Sebastiania sp.) and Plebeia droryana (pollen types of Myrcia type). The different types of vegetation in RS accounts for the different pollen spectra in honeys from southern Brazil.

description: In Brokate-Sprekels 1996, it is shown that hysteresis operators acting on scalar-valued, continuous, piecewise monotone input functions can be represented by functionals acting on alternating strings. In a number of recent papers, this representation result is extended to hysteresis operators dealing with input functions in a general topological vector space. The input functions have to be continuous and piecewise monotaffine, i.e., being piecewise the composition of two functions such that the output of a monotone increasing function is used as input for an affine function. In the current paper, a representation result is formulated for hysteresis operators dealing with input functions being left-continuous and piecewise monotaffine and continuous. The operators are generated by functions acting on an admissible subset of the set of all strings of pairs of elements of the vector space. of the set of all strings of pairs of elements of the vector space.
