 Omania marksae Woodward, 1958: 104
 Omania samoensis Kellen, 1960: 495; syn. by Cobben, 1970: 66 Corallocoris marksae: Cobben, 1970: 66
 Material examined. — SINGAPORE: 20 males, 20 females, Sentosa Island, large intertidal rocks, 14 Oct.1996, Cl 2216, coll. J. T. Polhemus & D. A. Polhemus (JTPC).
 Diagnosis. — Tiny insects with coleopteriform hemelytra (Fig. 9). Male length 1.15–1.45, maximum width (across hemelytra) 0.55–0.75; female length 1.50–1.60, maximum width (across hemelytra) 0.80–0.90. Colouration black, marked with bluish grey; head black, eyes and ocelli red; pronotum black, anterior collar pale bluish-grey; scutellum black, hemelytra black with a broad, pale bluish-grey transverse fascia centrally.
 Distribution. — Originally described from Australia (Woodward, 1958), with subsequent records from Samoa (Kellen, 1960, as Omania samoensis), New Caledonia, Malaysia, and Singapore (Cobben, 1970). We have further specimens in hand from the Philippines (Luzon).
 Discussion. — This species is unmistakable among the regional suite of Leptopodomorpha, given its small size, coleopteriform forewings, and black ground colour with a broad grey fascia across the hemelytra (Fig. 9). Cobben (1970) provided detailed figures of the immatures, and of the adult leg structures and male and female genitalia.
 Ecological notes. — Detailed notes on the ecological preferences of this species (as Omania samoensis) in Samoa were provided by Kellen (1960), who noted: “The saldid adults and nymphs were found frequenting small holes and crevices in the volcanic rocks. Interestingly, only those rocks lying in a rather narrow band of the intertidal zone were inhabited; apparently the acceptability of a particular rock is greatly influenced by the moisture conditions obtained in the pores when they are exposed to sun at low tide. Those rocks lying at the broad extremes of the intertidal zone presumably are either too dry or too wet for habitation.”

description: La question laitière est un thème socialement sensible au Sénégal, à cause des tensions entre demande et offre en produits laitiers. Au maillon de la transformation, le choix entre lait local et lait en poudre s’impose aujourd’hui aux acteurs de la chaîne de valeur. Dans cet article, nous nous interrogeons sur la relation existante entre les caractéristiques des transactions qui sont liées à la matière première et les formes organisationnelles mises en place par les acteurs économiques. Pour ce faire, nous nous appuyons sur l’Économie des coûts de transaction et la théorie de la Gouvernance des chaînes globales de valeur, qui nous offrent les outils pour analyser les transactions dans leur entièreté. Des entretiens qualitatifs menés aux différents maillons des chaînes laitières industrielles sénégalaises nous ont permis de constater que les acteurs économiques ajustent leurs modes de gouvernance sur les caractéristiques des transactions, qui sont influencées par le choix de la matière première. La chaîne du lait en poudre se distingue par des interactions brèves résultant surtout de la coordination sur les prix, l’incertitude sur les prix étant élevée et les fournisseurs nombreux. La chaîne du lait local se caractérise par des contrats relationnels de longue durée, s’appuyant sur des repères tels que la réputation et la confiance, à cause notamment de la complexité des transactions et de la saisonnalité de l’offre en lait.

description: In this paper, we empirically investigate applying word-level weights to adapt neural machine translation to e-commerce domains, where small e-commerce datasets and large out-of-domain datasets are available. In order to mine in-domain like words in the out-of-domain datasets, we compute word weights by using a domain-specific and a non-domain-specific language model followed by smoothing and binary quantization. The baseline model is trained on mixed in-domain and out-of-domain datasets. Experimental results on English to Chinese e-commerce domain translation show that compared to continuing training without word weights, it improves MT quality by up to 2.11% BLEU absolute and 1.59% TER. We have also trained models using fine-tuning on the in-domain data. Pre-training a model with word weights improves fine-tuning up to 1.24% BLEU absolute and 1.64% TER, respectively.

description: Imagine a world where cities self-organize, fashion designs evolve autonomously, and ships navigate oceans with ease and accuracy. This scene is not from a futuristic novel but the transformative promise of digital twin technology. Digital twins are virtual replicas of real-world physical objects, systems, and even human beings, harnessing real-time data alongside next-generation artificial intelligence and 3D-modeling software to simulate and predict our surroundings like never before.

In this paper, we explore how digital twins are helping reshape four key sectors, namely: urban planning, fashion, human simulation, and maritime logistics. Urban planners are now leveraging full-scale 3D models of entire infrastructures and converting drone-captured imagery into detailed, dynamic cityscapes—facilitating smarter land use, streamlining traffic flow, and enabling proactive maintenance. In the fast-fashion industry, digital twin technology is being utilized to capture the nuances of human form through photogrammetric camera spheres and to simulate virtual garment trials and advertisements—accelerating design iteration and driving more innovative marketing campaigns. Meanwhile, human digital twins—constructed from diverse multimodal data sources including video, audio, and physiological signals, and powered by large language models—can offer personalized insights and preserve legacies of influential figures. In maritime operations, digital twins optimize ship design, port operations, and logistic flows with real-time 3D tracking, cutting emissions while boosting safety and sustainability.

As these digital mirrors continue to evolve, they are making our cities smarter and more interconnected, enriching quality of life with profound societal impact.

description: Genus Pentacora Reuter, 1912
 Discussion. — The genus Pentacora has a semi-cosmopolitan distribution, occurring in North America, Australia, Melanesia, South Asia, the Caribbean, and certain Pacific Islands (Galapagos), but being naturally absent from Europe and Africa (although Pentacora sphacelata Uhler has been introduced to Morocco and the island of Sardinia). Ten species are known worldwide (Schuh et al., 1987), most occurring in association with saline habitats. A single species, Pentacora malayensis (Dover), is currently described from Southeast Asia.

Statics and dynamics of the ten-state nearest-neighbor Potts glass on the simple-cubic lattice

description: We present the results of Monte Carlo simulations of two different Potts glass models with short range random interactions. In the first model a \pm J-distribution of the bonds is chosen, in the second model a Gaussian distribution. In both cases the first two moments of the distribution are chosen to be J_0=-1, Delta J=+1, so that no ferromagnetic ordering of the Potts spins can occur. We find that for all temperatures investigated the spin glass susceptibility remains finite, the spin glass order parameter remains zero, and that the specific heat has only a smooth Schottky-like peak. These results can be understood quantitatively by considering small but independent clusters of spins. Hence we have evidence that there is no static phase transition at any nonzero temperature. Consistent with these findings, only very minor size effects are observed, which implies that all correlation lengths of the models remain very short. We also compute for both models the time auto-correlation function C(t) of the Potts spins. While in the Gaussian model C(t) shows a smooth uniform decay, the correlator for the \pm J model has several distinct steps. These steps correspond to the breaking of bonds in small clusters of ferromagnetically coupled spins (dimers, trimers, etc.). The relaxation times follow simple Arrhenius laws, with activation energies that are readily interpreted within the cluster picture, giving evidence that the system does not have a dynamic transition at a finite temperature. Hence we find that for the present models all the transitions known for the mean-field version of the model are completely wiped out. Finally we also determine the time auto-correlation functions of individual spins, and show that the system is dynamically very heterogeneous.

The Real and Redshift Space Density Distribution Function for Large-Scale Structure in the Spherical Collapse Approximation

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We use the spherical collapse (SC) approximation to derive expressions for the smoothed redshift-space probability distribution function (PDF), as well as the $p$-order hierarchical amplitudes $S_p$, in both real and redshift space. We compare our results with numerical simulations, focusing on the $Ω=1$ standard CDM model, where redshift distortions are strongest. We find good agreement between the SC predictions and the numerical PDF in real space even for $σ_L \simgt 1$, where $σ_L$ is the linearly-evolved rms fluctuation on the smoothing scale. In redshift space, reasonable agreement is possible only for $σ_L \simlt 0.4$. Numerical simulations also yield a simple empirical relation between the real-space PDF and redshift-space PDF: we find that for $σ\simlt 1$, the redshift space PDF, P[δ_z], is, to a good approximation, a simple rescaling of the real space PDF, P[δ], i.e., P[δ/σ] d[δ/σ] = P[δ_z/σ_z] d[δ_z/σ_z], where $σ$ and σ_z are the real-space and redshift-space rms fluctuations, respectively. This result applies well beyond the validity of linear perturbation theory, and it is a good fit for both the standard CDM model and the Lambda-CDM model. It breaks down for SCDM at $σ\approx 1$, but provides a good fit to the Λ-CDM models for $σ$ as large as 0.8.

description: A detailed radiative transfer analysis of the observed continuum and molecular line emission toward the deeply embedded young stellar object IRAS 16293-2422 is performed. The continuum modelling is used to constrain the temperature and density distributions in the envelope, enabling quantitative estimates of various molecular abundances. The molecular excitation analysis reveals that the emission from some molecular species is well reproduced assuming a constant fractional abundance throughout the envelope. The abundances and isotope ratios are generally close to typical values found in cold molecular clouds in these cases, and there is a high degree of deuterium fractionation. There are, however, a number of notable exceptions. Lines covering a wide range of excitation conditions indicate for some molecules, e.g., H2CO, CH3OH, SO, SO2 and OCS, a drastic increase in their abundances in the warm and dense inner region of the circumstellar envelope. The location at which this increase occurs is consistent with the radius at which ices are expected to thermally evaporate off the grains. In all, there is strong evidence for the presence of a `hot core' close to the protostar, whose physical properties are similar to those detected towards most high mass protostars except for a scaling factor. However, the small scale of the hot gas and the infalling nature of the envelope lead to very different chemical time scales between low mass and high mass hot cores, such that only very rapidly produced second-generation complex molecules can be formed in IRAS 16293-2422. Alternatively, the ices may be liberated due to grain-grain collisions in turbulent shear zones where the outflow interacts with the envelope.

Moment graph

description: This thesis builds on the connection of two widely studied objects in the literature, that is, foldings of finite root systems and the structure algebras of moment graphs associated with finite root systems. Given a finite crystallographic root system Φ whose Dynkin diagram has a nontrivial automorphism, it yields a new root system Φτ by a so-called classical folding. On the other hand, Lusztig's folding (1983) folds the root system of type E₈ to type H₄ starting from an automorphism of the root lattice of type E₈. Lanini-Zainoulline (2018) developed the notion of a twisted quadratic folding of a root system, which describes both the classical foldings and Lusztig's folding on the same footing. Our second key object of study is the structure algebra Z(G) of the moment graph G associated with a finite root system and its reflection group W. The structure algebra Z(G) is an algebra over a certain polynomial ring S whose underlying module is free with a distinguished basis {σ⁽ʷ⁾ | w ∈ W} called combinatorial Schubert classes. Each Schubert class σ⁽ʷ⁾ is an S-valued function on W, whose value is explicitly known for any finite reflection group W. Lanini-Zainoulline (2018) showed that a twisted quadratic folding Φ -> Φτ induces an embedding of the respective Coxeter groups ε : Wτ → W and a ring homomorphism ε∗ : Z(G) → Z(Gτ) between the corresponding structure algebras. This thesis investigates how the induced map ε* relates the Schubert classes of the original structure algebra Z(G) to those of the folded structure algebra Z(Gτ). In particular, we will provide a combinatorial criterion for a Schubert class στ⁽ᵘ⁾ of Z(Gτ) to admit a Schubert class σ⁽ʷ⁾ of Z(G) such that the relation ε*(σ⁽ʷ⁾) = c · στ⁽ᵘ⁾ holds for some nonzero scalar c. We will also prove that ε* is surjective after an appropriate extension of the coefficient ring.

description: We study the accuracy of estimating the covariance and the precision matrix of a $D$-variate sub-Gaussian distribution along a prescribed subspace or direction using the finite sample covariance. Our results show that the estimation accuracy depends almost exclusively on the components of the distribution that correspond to desired subspaces or directions. This is relevant and important for problems where the behavior of data along a lower-dimensional space is of specific interest, such as dimension reduction or structured regression problems. We also show that estimation of precision matrices is almost independent of the condition number of the covariance matrix. The presented applications include direction-sensitive eigenspace perturbation bounds, relative bounds for the smallest eigenvalue, and the estimation of the single-index model. For the latter, a new estimator, derived from the analysis, with strong theoretical guarantees and superior numerical performance is proposed.

description: Let F be a smooth surface in a smooth projective threefold T, and let X=2F be the first infinitesimal neighborhood of X in T. A locally Cohen-Macaulay curve C in X gives rise to two effective divisors on F, namely the curve part P of the intersection of C and F, and the curve R residual in C to this intersection. We show that a general deformation of R on F lifts to a deformation of C on X when a certain cohomology group vanishes. In our paper "Hilbert Schemes of Degree Four Curves" we use this result to prove the connectedness of the Hilbert schemes H(4,g) of locally Cohen-Macaulay space curves of degree four and arbitrary arithmetic genus g.

description: Traditional Bayesian random partition models assume that the size of each cluster grows linearly with the number of data points. While this is appealing for some applications, this assumption is not appropriate for other tasks such as entity resolution (ER), modeling of sparse networks, and DNA sequencing tasks. Such applications require models that yield clusters whose sizes grow sublinearly with the total number of data points—the microclustering property. Motivated by these issues, we propose a general class of random partition models that satisfy the microclustering property with well-characterized theoretical properties. Our proposed models overcome major limitations in the existing literature on microclustering models, namely a lack of interpretability, identifiability, and full characterization of model asymptotic properties. Crucially, we drop the classical assumption of having an exchangeable sequence of data points, and instead assume an exchangeable sequence of clusters. In addition, our framework provides flexibility in terms of the prior distribution of cluster sizes, computational tractability, and applicability to a large number of microclustering tasks. We establish theoretical properties of the resulting class of priors, where we characterize the asymptotic behavior of the number of clusters and of the proportion of clusters of a given size. Our framework allows a simple and efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm to perform statistical inference. We illustrate our proposed methodology on the microclustering task of ER, where we provide a simulation study and real experiments on survey panel data.

description: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will observe around 10^6 spectra from targets distributed over an area of about 10,000 square degrees, using a multi-object fiber spectrograph which can simultaneously observe 640 objects in a circular field-of-view (referred to as a ``tile'') 1.49 degrees in radius. No two fibers can be placed closer than 55'' during the same observation; multiple targets closer than this distance are said to ``collide.'' We present here a method of allocating fibers to desired targets given a set of tile centers which includes the effects of collisions and which is nearly optimally efficient and uniform. Because of large-scale structure in the galaxy distribution (which form the bulk of the SDSS targets), a naive covering the sky with equally-spaced tiles does not yield uniform sampling. Thus, we present a heuristic for perturbing the centers of the tiles from the equally-spaced distribution which provides more uniform completeness. For the SDSS sample, we can attain a sampling rate greater than 92% for all targets, and greater than 99% for the set of targets which do not collide with each other, with an efficiency greater than 90% (defined as the fraction of available fibers assigned to targets).

description: We performed kinematic studies of the evolution of small-scale magnetic fields in the surface laters of M-dwarfs. We solved the induction equation for a prescribed velocity field, magnetic Reynolds number, and boundary conditions in a Cartesian box, representing a volume comprising the optically thin stellar atmosphere and the uppermost part of the optically thick convective envelope. The velocity field is spatially and temporally variable, and stems from detailed radiation-hydrodynamics simulations of convectione flows in a proto-typical late-type M-dwarf. We find dynamo action for large magnetic Reynolds numbers. Growth time scales of the magnetic field is comparable to the convective turn-over time scale (approximately 150 seconds). The convective velocity field concentrates the magnetic field in sheets and tubular structures in the inter-granular down-flows. Scaling from solar conditions suggests that field strengths as high as 20 kG might be reached locally. Perhps surprisingly, the magnetic Reynolds number is of the order unity in the surface layers of cooler M-dwarfs, rendering the dynamo inoperative. In all studied cases we find a rather low spatial filling factor of the magnetic field.

On a matrix method for the study of small perturbations in galaxies

description: A matrix method is formulated in a Lagrangian representation for the solution of the characteristic value problem governing modes of oscillation and instability in a collisionless stellar system. The underlying perturbation equations govern the Lagrangian displacement of a star in the six-dimensional phase space. This matrix method has a basis in a variational principle. The method is developed in detail for radial oscillations of a spherical system. The basis vectors required for the representation of the Lagrangian displacement in this case are derived from solutions of the Lagrangian perturbation equations for radial perturbations in a homogeneous sphere. The basis vectors are made divergence free in the six-dimensional phase space in accordance with the requirement of Liouville's theorem that the flow of the system in the phase space must be incompressible. The basis vectors are made orthogonal with respect to a properly chosen set of adjoint vectors with the aid of a Gram-Schmidt procedure. Some basis vectors are null vectors in the sense that their inner products with their own adjoint vectors vanish. The characteristic frequencies of the lowest radial modes are calculated in several approximations for members of a family of spherical models which span a wide range of central concentrations. The present formulation of the matrix method can be generalized for nonradial modes in spherical systems and for modes in axisymmetric systems.

description: Floating point multiplication is one of the crucial operations in many application domains such as image processing, signal processing etc. But every application requires different working features. Some need high precision, some need low power consumption, low latency etc. But IEEE-754 format is not really flexible for these specifications and also design is complex. Optimal run-time reconfigurable hardware implementations may need the use of custom floating-point formats that do not necessarily follow IEEE specified sizes. In this paper, we present a run-time-reconfigurable floating point multiplier implemented on FPGA with custom floating point format for different applications. This floating point multiplier can have 6 modes of operations depending on the accuracy or application requirement. With the use of optimal design with custom IPs (Intellectual Properties), a better implementation is done by truncating the inputs before multiplication. And a combination of Karatsuba algorithm and Urdhva-Tiryagbhyam algorithm (Vedic Mathematics) is used to implement unsigned binary multiplier. This further increases the efficiency of the multiplier.

description: Circadian rhythms have been found in some reproductive functions phenotypes but remain unclear for sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI). The present study aims to investigate the diurnal variation of DFI in mice model and men sperm. Adult male mice were sacrificed for sperm DFI with Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay (SCSA) in 24 hours at 6 evenly distributed time points. A cosinor pattern of DFI was observed with a nadir at zeitgeber time 10 AM. In a community population with 630 semen samples collected between 8 AM and 20 PM, the temporal variation of DFI also fit a cosinor pattern with a − 343° acrophase and a nadir at 11 AM (P = .031). In a reproductive-medical-center dataset of 10752 semen samples collected between 7 AM and 11 AM, the decreasing trend of DFI was also confirmed. For the males with multiple samples, intra-individual comparison between different timepoints was performed, and each consecutive hour after 7 AM was also associated with 2.5 (95% CI: −1.0, 5.9)% lower DFI by SCSA or 4.9 (1.9, 7.8)% lower DFI by SCD. Our study reveals a daily diurnal variance in sperm DFI which may suggest a practical approach to get more qualified sperms for natural or assisted reproduction.

Oscillations and dynamics in a two-dimensional prey-predator system

description: Using Monte Carlo simulations we study two-dimensional prey-predator systems. Measuring the variance of densities of prey and predators on the triangular lattice and on the lattice with eight neighbours, we conclude that temporal oscillations of these densities vanish in the thermodynamic limit. This result suggests that such oscillations do not exist in two-dimensional models, at least when driven by local dynamics. Depending on the control parameter, the model could be either in an active or in an absorbing phase, which are separated by the critical point. The critical behaviour of this model is studied using the dynamical Monte Carlo method. This model has two dynamically nonsymmetric absorbing states. In principle both absorbing states can be used for the analysis of the critical point. However, dynamical simulations which start from the unstable absorbing state suffer from metastable-like effects, which sometimes renders the method inefficient.
