description: The epoch of reionization is a landmark in structure formation and galaxy evolution. How it happened is still not clear, especially regarding which population of objects was responsible for contributing the bulk of ionizing photons toward this process. Doubly-peaked Lyman-Alpha profiles in this epoch are of particular interest since they hold information about the escape of ionizing radiation and the environment surrounding the source.
 We wish to understand the escape mechanisms of ionizing radiation in Lyman-Alpha emitters during this time and the origin of a doubly-peaked Lyman-alpha profile as well as estimating the size of a potential ionized bubble.
 Using radiative transfer models, we fit the line profile of a bright Lyman-Alpha emitter at $z\sim 6.9$ using various gas geometries. The line modeling reveals significant radiation escape from this system.
 While the studied source reveals significant escape ($f_{esc}$(LyA) $\sim0.8$ as predicted by the best fitting radiative transfer model) and appears to inhabit an ionized bubble of radius $R_{b}\approx 0.8^{+0.5}_{-0.3}\,pMpc\left(\frac{t_{\rm age}}{10^{8}}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$.Radiative transfer modeling predicts the line to be completely redwards of the systemic redshift. We suggest the line morphology is produced by inflows, multiple components emitting Ly$α$, or by an absorbing component in the red wing.
 We propose that CDFS-1's profile holds two red peaks produced by winds within the system. Its high $f_{esc}$(Lya) and the low-velocity offset from the systemic redshift suggest that the source is an active ionizing agent. Future observations will reveal whether a peak is present bluewards of the systemic redshift or if multiple components produce the profile.

See Rahayu & Ng (2014: 418) for the complete synonymy.
Material examined. Indonesia: 1 male (8.3 x 4.9 mm), 1 young female (5.1 × 3.1 mm) (NNM-ZMA Crust De 241762a), station 258, Tual, Kei Islands, 22 m, coll. M. Webber, Siboga Expedition, 12–16 December 1899 (identified as Hexapus sexpes).
Remarks. The two specimens from Kei Islands agree very well with the descriptions and figures of this wideranging species. The figure of the male abdomen by Tesch (1918: pl. 17 fig. 1b) is not very accurate as somite 6 is actually slightly longer in life, and similar to that figured by Rahayu & Ng (2014: fig. 21E). The record of Tesch (1918) is mixed as it actually contains two species, the other being Hexapinus latus (see below).

description: Amphithyris comitodentis n. sp.
(Fig. 6; Table 5)
as Amphithyris buckmani Lüter 2008: p. 316, fig. 2F–G (misidentification)
Type material. Holotype: NIWA 92391, Paratypes: ZMB Bra 2054, ZMB Bra 2145, ZMB Bra 2281, ZMB Bra 2353, ZMB Bra 2354 (20 specimens).
Etymology. From Latin comitans ("accompanying, parallel") and dens ("tooth") referring to the fact that this is the only species within Amphithyris with its teeth parallel to the hinge line.
Type locality. SW Pacific east of New Zealand; SO168; Stations 13, 96, 97, 99, 105. Depth range: 252–1865 m.
Diagnosis. Shell planoconvex, flat dorsal valve, prints of capillae on ventral valve interior. Hinge teeth flat, narrow, parallel to hinge line. Small dorsal septum.
Description. Shells planoconvex, oval to round. Dorsal valve almost flat (Fig. 6 A) with low median septum, highest point mid-valve (Fig. 6 A). Foramen amphithyrid with pair of short socket ridges at lateral margins that slightly reach over posterior margin (Fig. 6 A). Ventral valve with imprints of capillae on interior (Fig. 6 B and D). Hinge teeth narrow, parallel to hinge line (Fig. 6 C and D), delthyrium triangular. Ventral valve with concentric growth lines on exterior (Fig. 6 E). Protegulum on caudal tip of ventral valve with wrinkled surface (Fig. 6 F).
Remarks. The specimens erroneously assigned to Amphithyris buckmani by Lüter (2008) show a consistent character difference to all other Amphithyris spp., i.e. the longitudinal axis of their hinge teeth is parallel to the hinge line. We therefore describe it as a new species Amphithyris comitodentis n. sp. It features similar characteristics to the other Amphithyris species such as small size, shell convexity, an asymmetrical dorsal valve due to irregular substrate morphology, an amphithyrid foramen and a triangular delthyrium. The specimens feature capillae imprints in the ventral valve interior as in A. hallettensis and a low dorsal septum as in A. buckmani, A. hallettensis and A. seminula.

description: We investigate whether neural networks (NNs) can accurately differentiate between growth-rate data of the large-scale structure (LSS) of the Universe simulated via two models: a cosmological constant and $Λ$ cold dark matter (CDM) model and a tomographic coupled dark energy (CDE) model. We built an NN classifier and tested its accuracy in distinguishing between cosmological models. For our dataset, we generated $fσ_8(z)$ growth-rate observables that simulate a realistic Stage IV galaxy survey-like setup for both $Λ$CDM and a tomographic CDE model for various values of the model parameters. We then optimised and trained our NN with \texttt{Optuna}, aiming to avoid overfitting and to maximise the accuracy of the trained model. We conducted our analysis for both a binary classification, comparing between $Λ$CDM and a CDE model where only one tomographic coupling bin is activated, and a multi-class classification scenario where all the models are combined. For the case of binary classification, we find that our NN can confidently (with $>86\%$ accuracy) detect non-zero values of the tomographic coupling regardless of the redshift range at which coupling is activated and, at a $100\%$ confidence level, detect the $Λ$CDM model. For the multi-class classification task, we find that the NN performs adequately well at distinguishing $Λ$CDM, a CDE model with low-redshift coupling, and a model with high-redshift coupling, with 99\%, 79\%, and 84\% accuracy, respectively. By leveraging the power of machine learning, our pipeline can be a useful tool for analysing growth-rate data and maximising the potential of current surveys to probe for deviations from general relativity.

description: First, we demonstrated that ZY-1 has a good binding capacity to cellular fibronectin using activated mouse pancreatic stellate cells. Subsequently, we evaluated the instantaneous imaging capabilities of ZY-1 coupled fluorescent probes in mouse models of pancreatic fibrosis at different stages. In addition, ZY-1 fluorescent probes were combined with biopsy specimens from patients with different stages of pancreatic fibrosis. This study marks the first time that zy-1 coupled fluorescent probes have been successfully used to identify and distinguish early, middle, and advanced pancreatic fibrosis. Our study strongly demonstrated that ZY-1 fluorescent probes can detect pancreatic fibrosis early and accurately stage it, which is beneficial for clinical diagnosis and treatment planning of pancreatic fibrosis-related diseases.

J. J. Eeo, July–October 2013.
Remarks. Rahayu & Ng (2014) revised the taxonomy of the species and clarified its identity based on material from Phuket in western Thailand. Velip & Rivonker (2014) examined the type material of Hexapus estuarinus Sankarankutty, 1975, from southern India, and commented that it was a valid species and not synonymous with H. sexpes. They argued that the structure of the chela (with a basal tooth on the dactylus of the major chela) was different, that there was a large gap between the closed fingers of the minor chela, setae at the base of the propodal finger was absent, and tubercles were present on the thoracic sternum. The differences observed for the chela are subject to size (the type of H. sexpes is relatively smaller than that of H. estuarinus), however, and this structure is also known to vary to some degree. We do not regard these differences as substantial; they certainly agree very well with the material identified as H. sexpes by Rahayu & Ng (2014), the redescription of the type male by Manning (1982), and the present material here from Malaysia. As such, we prefer to regard them as synonymous for the time being. The presence of the species in the Straits of Malacca, Peninsular Malaysia is nevertheless noteworthy.
Three species of Hexapus are now known: Hexapus bidentatus Velip & Rivonker, 2014, Hexapus sexpes (Fabricius, 1798) and Hexapus timika Rahayu & Ng, 2014.

description: In recent years, the hardware implementation of neural networks, leveraging physical coupling and analog neurons has substantially increased in relevance. Such nonlinear and complex physical networks provide significant advantages in speed and energy efficiency, but are potentially susceptible to internal noise when compared to digital emulations of such networks. In this work, we consider how additive and multiplicative Gaussian white noise on the neuronal level can affect the accuracy of the network when applied for specific tasks and including a softmax function in the readout layer. We adapt several noise reduction techniques to the essential setting of classification tasks, which represent a large fraction of neural network computing. We find that these adjusted concepts are highly effective in mitigating the detrimental impact of noise.

description: PDS 453 is a rare highly inclined disk where the stellar photosphere is seen at grazing incidence on the disk surface. Our goal is take advantage of this geometry to constrain the structure and composition of this disk, in particular the fact that it shows a 3.1 $μ$m water ice band in absorption that can be related uniquely to the disk. We observed the system in polarized intensity with the VLT/SPHERE instrument, as well as in polarized light and total intensity using the HST/NICMOS camera. Infrared archival photometry and a spectrum showing the water ice band are used to model the spectral energy distribution under Mie scattering theory. Based on these data, we fit a model using the radiative transfer code MCFOST to retrieve the geometry and dust and ice content of the disk. PDS 453 has the typical morphology of a highly inclined system with two reflection nebulae where the disk partially attenuates the stellar light. The upper nebula is brighter than the lower nebula and shows a curved surface brightness profile in polarized intensity, indicating a ring-like structure. With an inclination of 80° estimated from models, the line-of-sight crosses the disk surface and a combination of absorption and scattering by ice-rich dust grains produces the water ice band. PDS 453 is seen highly inclined and is composed of a mixture of silicate dust and water ice. The radial structure of the disk includes a significant jump in density and scale height at a radius of 70 au in order to produce a ring-like image. The depth of the 3.1 $μ$m water ice band depends on the amount of water ice, until it saturates when the optical thickness along the line-of-sight becomes too large. Therefore, quantifying the exact amount of water from absorption bands in edge-on disks requires a detailed analysis of the disk structure and tailored radiative transfer modeling.

description: Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have great potential to help address societal challenges that are both collective in nature and present at national or trans-national scale. Pressing challenges in healthcare, finance, infrastructure and sustainability, for instance, might all be productively addressed by leveraging and amplifying AI for national-scale collective intelligence. The development and deployment of this kind of AI faces distinctive challenges, both technical and socio-technical. Here, a research strategy for mobilising inter-disciplinary research to address these challenges is detailed and some of the key issues that must be faced are outlined.

description: There is still much uncertainty around the mechanism that rules the accretion of proto-planetary disks. In the last years, Magnetohydrondynamic (MHD) wind-driven accretion has been proposed as a valid alternative to the more conventional viscous accretion. In particular, winds have been shown to reproduce the observed correlation between the mass of the disk Md and the mass accretion rate onto the central star Macc, but this has been done only for specific conditions. It is not clear whether this implies fine tuning or if it is a general result. We investigate under which conditions the observed correlation between the mass of the disk Md and the mass accretion rate onto the central star Macc can be obtained. We find that, in the absence of a correlation between the initial mass M0 and the initial accretion timescale tacc,0, the slope of the Md-Macc correlation depends on the value of the spread of the initial conditions of masses and lifetimes of disks. Then, we clarify the conditions under which a disk population can be fitted with a single power-law. Moreover, we derive an analytical expression for the spread of log(Md/Macc) valid when the spread of tacc is taken to be constant. In the presence of a correlation between M0 and tacc,0, we derive an analytical expression for the slope of the Md-Macc correlation in the initial conditions of disks and at late times. We conclude that MHD winds can predict the observed values of the slope and the spread of the Md-Macc correlation under a broad range of initial conditions. This is a fundamental expansion of previous works on the MHD paradigm, exploring the establishment of this fundamental correlation beyond specific initial conditions.

description: Galactic halos are known to grow hierarchically, inside out. This implies a correlation between the infall lookback time of satellites and their binding energy. Cosmological simulations predict a linear relation between the infall lookback time and the logarithm of the binding energy, with a small scatter. Gaia measurements of the bulk proper motions of globular clusters and dwarf satellites of the Milky Way are sufficiently accurate to establish the kinetic energies of these systems. Assuming the gravitational potential of the Milky Way, we can deduce the binding energies of the dwarf satellites and those of the galaxies that were previously accreted by the Milky Way. This can be compared to cosmological simulations for the first time. The relation of the infall lookback time versus binding energy we found in a cosmological simulation matches that for the early accretion events when the simulated total Milky Way mass within 21 kpc was rescaled to 2 $10^{11}$ solar masses. This agrees well with previous estimates from globular cluster kinematics and from the rotation curve. However, the vast majority of the dwarf galaxies are clear outliers to this rescaled relation, unless they are very recent infallers. In other words, the very low binding energies of most dwarf galaxies compared to Sgr and previous accreted galaxies suggests that most of them were accreted much later than 8 or even 5 Gyr ago. We also found that the subhalo systems in some cosmological simulations are too dynamically hot when they are compared to identified Milky Way substructures. This leads to an overestimated impact of satellites on the Galaxy rotation curve.

Remarks. The present female specimen (Fig. 1 C) is relatively smaller than the type female, and is proportionately less broad. It nevertheless agrees well with H. latus, which was previously known only from Lombok, in the smooth dorsal surface of the carapace, the presence of only one lobe on the carapace posterolateral margin, and in the proportions of the merus and ischium of the third maxilliped (Rahayu & Ng 2014: 418).

description: Satellite magnetic field observations have the potential to provide valuable information on dynamics, heat content and salinity throughout the ocean. Here we present the expected spatio-temporal characteristics of the ocean-induced magnetic field at satellite altitude on periods of months to decades. We compare these to the characteristics of other sources of Earth's magnetic field, and discuss whether it is feasible for the ocean-induced magnetic field to be retrieved and routinely monitored from space. We focus on large length scales (spherical harmonic degrees up to 30) and periods from one month up to five years. To characterize the expected ocean signal we make use of advanced numerical simulations taking high resolution oceanographic inputs and solve the magnetic induction equation in 3D including galvanic coupling and self induction effects. We find the time-varying ocean-induced signal dominates over the primary source of the internal field, the core dynamo, at high spherical harmonic degree with the cross-over taking place at degree 15 to 20 depending on the considered period. The ionospheric and magnetospheric fields (including their Earth induced counterparts) have most power on periods shorter than one month and are expected to be mostly zonal in magnetic coordinates at satellite altitude. Based on these findings we discuss future prospects for isolating and monitoring long period ocean induced magnetic field variations using data collected by present and upcoming magnetic survey satellites.

Bulenides – Dudkova & Bocak 2010: 34.
Diagnosis
Cautires belongs to the subtribe Cautirina in close relationships to Xylobanus (Lycidae: Metriorrhynchini), from which it can be distinguished by continuous larval terga and a simple, usually slender phallus with a pair of sickle-shaped thorns in the internal sac (Sklenarova et al. 2014). Almost all Oriental Cautires have the male antennae flabellate (Figs 7–20), some species have very short lamellae and the antenna is acutely serrate (Fig. 6). The female antennae are always serrate. Each elytron bears four primary and five secondary longitudinal costae (Figs 41–58) and numerous transverse costae connecting them. Cautires species have the lanceolate phallus with membranous internal sac bearing two sickle-shaped thorns at its base (Figs 59–78).
Remark
The revised concept of Cautires merged the genera Bulenides Waterhouse, 1879 and Cautires Waterhouse, 1879 (Dudkova & Bocak 2010). Later, the terminal position of Bulenides within the Cautires clade was confirmed by subsequent molecular phylogenetic study by Sklenarova et al. (2014). The latter study also redefined the limits of Xylobanus Waterhouse, 1879, which was originally defined by the absence of secondary costae. Some Xylobanus have elytral costae similar to those of Cautires and adults of these species can be identified using the shape of male genitalia. The species group of C. obsoletus corresponds with the limits of Bulenides and these species differ in absence of lateral ridges in the pronotum.

description: This paper presents the first analysis of the contact binary TYC 3801-1529-1. We observed four sets of multiple bands complete light curves and one set of radial velocity curve of the primary component. Based on a simultaneous investigation of our observed and TESS light curves and the radial velocity curve, we found that TYC 3801-1529-1 is an extremely low-mass-ratio, medium contact binary with $q=0.0356$, with the contribution of the third light at a level of about 10\%. Its mass ratio is lower than V1187 Her, making TYC 3801-1529-1 the lowest mass-ratio contact binary ever found in the universe. The light curves observed in 2022 are asymmetric, which is aptly explained by a hot spot on the primary component. A 16-year eclipse timings analysis indicates a secular increase orbital period with a rate of dp/dt$=7.96(\pm0.35)\times10^{-7}$ d yr$^{-1}$. We studied the stability of this target and identified that not only the value of $J_{spin}/J_{orb}$, but also the mass ratio surpass the unstable boundary. Hence, TYC 3801-1529-1 presents a challenge to theoretical research and ought to be considered a progenitor of a contact binary merger.

description: Calophrynus brevis Boulenger, 1896
Name-bearing type: Holotype BMNH 1947.2.7.42, from “S.W. Madagascar ” according to the original description.
The holotype of this nomen is in good state of preservation, allowing the examination of most or all characters relevant for taxonomic assignment. Although it is smaller than most other adult specimens typically assigned to S. brevis and therefore may be a subadult, its size is similar to one small-sized adult male collected by us (ZSM 577/2000; Table 1). The general body shape and absence of dorsolateral folds or a sharp dorsolateral color border (i.e., a clearly delimited boundary between the colors of the dorsum and flanks) differentiate the specimen from those of the S. calcarata complex, and confirm that Scaphiophryne brevis (Boulenger, 1896) has been correctly applied by previous researchers (e.g., Blommers-Schl̂sser & Blanc 1991; Glaw & Vences 2007; Vieites et al. 2009). D’Cruze et al. (2009) reported this species from the Onilahy River valley. Scaphiophryne brevis seems to exhibit at least two pronounced color morphs, one with a diffuse dorsolateral color border and typically a light midvertebral stripe (first row of Fig. 3), and one that is more marbled (second row of Fig. 3). A potential third color morph with green elements is figured in Glaw & Vences 2007 (page 448), and discussed in the context of Pseudohemisus verrucosus below. These color morphs are not related to sex.
