New material
HZM.39.40178, ♂, 29 July, 2012, Airport Road, Lekoumou, 2°45.724’S, 13°34.953’E; HZM. 40.40179, ♀ and HZM.41.40180, ♀, 30 July, 2012 and 3 August, 2012, Lebayi Cave, Lekoumou, 2°42.045’S, 13°35.968’E. Previous records included in Appendix I; the known distribution corresponds to localities 17, 19, 26, and 29 in Fig. 1. This species is considered by Happold and Happold (2013) to be very common in some areas of Africa.
Description
A medium-small species with a forearm length of 54.4–57.5 mm (Table 2). The face is characterised by a distinctive noseleaf, which includes three vertical processes projecting from the upper part and a fourth smaller vertical process situated at the base of the middle upper process (for further details of the noseleaf morphology see Monadjem et al., 2010: Figure 93a and b). The second phalanx of the fourth digit is unique in possessing a transverse spicule of bone, which projects from the outer side of its base for a distance of 2.5 to 3 mm into the membrane. The skull (SL: 18.73–20.12) is narrow and elongated with a well developed rostrum. The zygomata are not outwardly flared but are very greatly expanded dorsally. In the upper dentition, the third molar (M 3) is not reduced, having three commissures and a well developed metacone. The baculum is short (1.8 mm); it has a straight shaft with an expanded tip and bilobate base (Fig. 6B).
Taxonomic notes
The taxon afer is variably treated as a subspecies of T. persicus (Simmons, 2005; Monadjem et al., 2010) or as a distinct species (Happold and Happold, 2013). Benda and Vallo (2009) considered it to be a discrete species confined to Africa based on differences in the skull, baculum and Cytochrome b. Specimens previously collected from southern Congo were described as a new subspecies majusculus Aellen and Brosset, 1968 on the basis of their large size; Cotterill (2001) suggested that majusculus may prove to be a distinct species but this is contrary to Benda and Vallo (2009), who considered even its subspecific status to be questionable. The three specimens from Lekoumou are referred to T. afer majusculus being comparable in size to specimens previously collected from Congo.

HZM.52.40188, ♂, 4 August, 2012, Waterfall forest, Lekoumou, 2°45.545’S, 13°36.342’E. Previous records included in Appendix I; the known distribution corresponds to localities 15, 24, 26, 29, and 31 in Fig. 1. This is one of the most common nycterids in Africa (Happold and Happold, 2013).
Description
A very small species of slit-faced bat with a forearm length of 35.8 mm. The face is characterised by a noseleaf which comprises two flaps of skin, which give the impression of a slit running down the length of the muzzle. For Nycteris, the ears of this species are relatively short and the tragus has a smooth, curved, outer margin (Fig. 7C). The skull is short (damaged in this specimen) and the upper toothrow (C–M 3) is 5.58 mm in length. Both the upper and lower incisors are trifid (Fig. 7A and B). The posterior lower premolar is small (Fig. 7A). The baculum is 3.0 mm in length and characteristically hooked at the tip, with a slender, curved shaft and a slightly bilobate base (Fig. 7D); for comparison with other African Nycteris taxa see Thomas et al. (1994) and Happold and Happold (2013).
Taxonomic notes
Specimens from Congo are referred to the nominate subspecies (Van Cakenberghe and De Vree, 1993; Happold and Happold, 2013).

New material
HZM.1.40172, ♀, 29 July, 2012, Airport Road, Lekoumou, 2°45.724’S, 13°34.953’E. This is the first record for Congo (Appendix I). According to Happold and Happold (2013), this species is ‘very rarely collected’ throughout its range in Africa.
Description
A medium-small bat with a forearm length of 39.5 mm (Table 2) and a characteristic pelage colour. The dorsal surface is dark brown but with a patch of pure white hairs at the base of each humerus and with a narrow, discontinuous stripe of white hairs on each flank, which extends from the shoulder as far as the hind leg. The ventral pelage is slightly paler than the dorsal surface. The muzzle, chin, sides of the face, and ear (inner surface and upper part of outer surface) are nearly naked and very pale, almost white. Each tragus, which is also pale, is short with a concave anterior border, a rounded posterior border, and a basal notch (Fig. 8A). The outer border of the wing, the forearms and digits are light brown above and nearly white below. The skull has a greatest length of 13.50 mm (Table 3). It is broad with a small rostrum and a greatly inflated braincase (Fig. 9B). The first upper incisor (I 2) is robust, with a very small secondary cusp; the second (I 3) is unicuspid and minute (Fig. 9B). The upper premolar (P 4) is between half and two-thirds the crown area of first molar (M 1) (Fig. 9B). The third molar (M 3) has three commissures. The lower incisors are tricuspidate; the middle cusp of I 2 and I 3 is considerably larger than the lateral cusps; I 3 greatly exceeds I 2 in size, which in turn exceeds I 1. The first lower premolar (P 2) is half the crown area and one-third the height of the second (P 4); both teeth have a poorly-defined cingular cusp on the anterior, interior cingulum.
Taxonomic notes
Currently there are no recognised subspecies (or named forms) referred to this species (Simmons, 2005; Happold and Happold, 2013).

New material
HZM.1.40181, ♀, 29 July, 2012, Airport Road, Lekoumou, 2°45.724’S, 13°34.953’E. This is the first authenticated record for Congo (Appendix I). According to Happold and Happold (2013), it is ‘rarely recorded’ throughout its range in Africa.
Description
A medium-small bat with a forearm length of 40.8 mm (Table 2). The pelage is dark brown throughout but with a patch of pure white hairs at the base of each humerus. Unlike G. alboguttata, the muzzle, chin, sides of the face, ears, tragi, outer borders of the wing, forearms and digits (upper and lower surfaces) are all grey-brown not whitish. Each tragus is short with an almost straight anterior border and a rounded posterior border with a basal notch (Fig. 8B). The skull is small with a greatest length of 11.74 mm (Table 3). It is broad with a small rostrum and an inflated braincase (Fig. 9A). The first upper incisor (I 2) has a well-defined secondary cusp; the second (I 3) is unicuspid and very small (Fig. 9A). The upper premolar (P 4) is between half and two-thirds the crown area of the first molar (M 1) (Fig. 9A). The third molar (M 3) has three commissures. The first two lower incisors (I 1 and I 2) are tricuspidate (the middle cusp is not enlarged) and about equal in size; I 3 is slightly larger and with a cusplet on the cingulum, posteriorly. The first lower premolar (P 2) is two-thirds the crown area and about half the height of the second (P 4); both P 2 and P 4 have well-defined cingular cusps on the anterior, interior cingulum.
Taxonomic notes
Currently there are no recognised subspecies (or named forms) referred to this species (Simmons, 2005; Happold and Happold, 2013). Eger and
Schlitter (2001) provide useful taxonomic information about this taxon (and G. alboguttata).

HZM.1.40190, ♂, 4 August, 2012, Forest Trails, Lekoumou, 2°45.767’S, 13°36.365’E. This is the first authenticated record for Congo (Appendix I). According to Happold and Happold (2013), this species is widely distributed but localised in Africa, not uncommon in suitable habitats.
Description
A small, nondescript, species with a short forearm length of 26.7 mm (Table 2) but a robust body. The dorsal pelage, wing and interfemoral membranes are dark. The ventral pelage appears to be dark. In the ear, the tragus is tall and relatively narrow; the anterior border is straight, the posterior border is rounded and there is a well developed basal lobule (Fig. 8C). The skull has a greatest length of 13.80 mm (Table 3). In lateral profile, the rostrum runs smoothly to the braincase with only the slightest indication of a concavity in the interorbital region; the braincase is relatively flat and is highest at its most posterior point (Fig. 10A). The first upper incisor (I 2) is tricuspid; the second (I 3) is unicuspid but with a well developed cingulum, it attains half the height of I 2 (Fig. 10A). The first upper premolar (P 2) is minute and displaced internally such that the canine and second premolar (P 4) are nearly in contact (Fig. 10A). The first lower premolar (P 2) is between half and two-thirds the crown area and two-thirds the height of the second (P 4) (Fig. 10A). The baculum, which is 3.9 mm in length, has a long, thin, pointed shaft, which is curved when viewed laterally, and a bilobate base (Fig. 11A); this compares well with the baculum of the holotype of crassulus illustrated in Hill and Harrison (1987: Figure 7e).
Taxonomic notes
Currently there are no subspecies recognised (Heller et al., 1994; Happold and Happold, 2013).

HZM.10.40177, ♂, 29 July, 2012, Airport Road, Lekoumou, 2°45.724’S, 13°34.953’E. This is the first authenticated record for Congo (Appendix I). Happold and Happold (2013) suggested that this species is probably not uncommon but because of its high flight is relatively rarely encountered.
Description
A medium-small bat but with a greatly shortened forearm (30.2 mm) (Table 2) and a reduced wing; the phalanges of third, fourth and fifth digits are all excessively short. The fur is extremely short and together with the wings, interfemoral membrane, ears and face is dark brown throughout. The inner margin of each ear is considerably thickened; the tragus has a very short anterior border, a broadly rounded tip and a longer posterior border (Fig. 8H). The skull, which has a greatest length of 14.19 mm (Table 3) is characteristically broad and flattened with a broad flat rostrum, a broad flat braincase and a well-developed supraorbital tubercle on each side (damaged in the specimen illustrated in Fig. 10B). The first upper incisor (I 2) is small and bicuspid; the second (I 3) is about half the height of I 2 and unicuspid (Fig. 10B). The upper premolar (P 4) is less than half the crown area of the first molar (M 1) (Fig. 10B). The first lower premolar (P 2) is minute, about half the crown area of the second (P 4). Despite dissecting the penis, no baculum was found; this agrees with Hill and Harrison (1987: 237) who also reported the absence of a baculum.
Taxonomic notes
This specimen from Congo is here assigned to the nominate race (see Simmons, 2005 and Happold and Happold, 2013 for further comments on the taxon).

New material
HZM.1.40191, ♂, 4 August, 2012, Forest Trails, Lekoumou, 2°45.767’S, 13°36.365’E. This is the first authenticated record for Congo (Appendix I). According to Happold and Happold (2013), it has a localized distribution in Africa but is not rare in suitable habitats.
Description
A small, nondescript, dark brown species with a forearm length of 35.7 mm (Table 2). In the ear, the tragus has a straight anterior border; the posterior border has a straightened upper part, a defined angle and then a rounded lower part; there is a small basal lobule (Fig. 8D). The skull has a greatest length of 14.27 mm; in lateral view there is a slight concavity between the rostrum and the braincase (Fig. 12A). The first upper incisor (I 2) is robust and unicuspid; the second (I 3) is minute and also unicuspid (Fig. 12A). There is only one upper premolar (P 4), which has about half the crown area of the first molar (M 1) (Fig. 12A). The first lower premolar (P 2) is slightly over half the crown area of the second (P 4) and about half the height. The baculum is very distinct with a crescent shaped, slender shaft, a broad, relatively flattened, bifid tip and the base with two large, well developed lobes (Fig 11B). It is comparable in size and shape to that illustrated in Monadjem et al. (2013) for N. brunnea from Mount Nimba, Liberia. It is also similar to that of ‘ Pipistrellus rendalli (? brunneus)’ illustrated in Hill and Harrison (1987: Figure 14b).
Taxonomic notes
According to Happold and Happold (2013), there is currently no recognised subspecies of this taxon.

New material
HZM.321.40186, ♂, 1 August, 2012, Airport, Lekoumou, 2°46.766’S, 13°33.594’E. Previous records are included in Appendix I; the known distribution corresponds to localities 17, 29, and 39 in Fig. 1. This species is apparently common wherever banana plants are abundant (Happold and Happold, 2013).
Description
A very small, nondescript species with a forearm length of 31.1 mm (Table 2). The soles of the feet and base of the thumb are slightly swollen to assist the bat when moving inside smooth banana leaves. In the ear, the tragus has a virtually straight anterior border, a rounded tip, and an angular posterior border, without a basal notch (Fig. 8E). The skull is small (GTL = 11.72 mm) (Table 3); the braincase is distinctly elevated above the rostrum, with a marked concavity in the interorbital region (Fig. 12B). The first upper incisor (I 2) is narrow and small with a notch (indicative of a secondary cusp) at about two-thirds its height; the second upper incisor (I 3) is also narrow, unicuspid and about three-quarters the height of I 2 (Fig. 12B). The first upper premolar (P 2) is minute and situated slightly internal to the toothrow but is visible when the skull is viewed laterally (Fig. 12B). The first lower premolar (P 2) is about two-thirds the crown area and height of the second (P 4). The baculum has a short, slightly curved shaft, a flattened, broader tip and a bilobate base (Fig. 11C).
Taxonomic notes
Geographical variation in N. nana seems little understood (Rosevear, 1965; Monadjem et al., 2010) and currently all specimens from Congo are referred to the nominate subspecies (Happold and Happold, 2013).

New material
HZM.1.40189, ♂, 4 August, 2012, Forest Trails, Lekoumou, 2°45.767’S, 13°36.365’E. This is the first authenticated record for Congo (Appendix I). Its relative abundance in Africa is not known (Happold and Happold, 2013).
Description
A small, nondescript, species with a very short forearm length (26.1 mm) (Table 2). The interfemoral and wing membranes are uniformly dark; the pelage is also uniformly dark on the back and buff-brown on the belly. The muzzle is thick and broadly rounded. In each ear, the tragus has a very slightly concave anterior border, a rounded tip, a smoothly rounded posterior border and a well developed basal lobule (Fig. 8G). The skull is short (GTL= 11.99 mm) (Table 3), the rostrum is short and the braincase is low (Fig. 10C). The first upper incisor (I 2) is strongly bicuspid; the second (I 3) is unicuspid but with a well developed cingulum, it attains two-thirds the height of the secondary cusp of I 2 (Fig. 10C). The small, first upper premolar (P 2) is comparatively well developed and is slightly displaced internally; the canine and second premolar (P 4) are not in contact (Fig. 10C). The lower canine has a small but well-developed cusp on the anterior cingulum. The first lower premolar (P 2) is about equal in crown area and two-thirds the height of the second (P 4) (Fig. 10C). The baculum is long, with a bifid tip, a straight shaft and two, relatively ill-defined, basal lobules (Fig. 11D); this compares well with the baculum of the holotype of nanulus illustrated in Hill and Harrison (1987, Figure 7f).
Taxonomic notes
According to Simmons (2005) there are no other named forms included in the synonymy of P. nanulus.

These are the first authenticated records for Congo, although it was reported previously by Anciaux de Faveaux (1971) but without details (Appendix I). According to Happold and Happold (2013), this species is thought to be uncommon throughout its range.
Description
With a forearm length of 45.4–48.8 mm (Table 2), this species is typical of the genus in having the second phalanx of the third digit greatly elongated (37.0– 38.8 mm, n = 4). The interfemoral and wing membranes and the pelage, above and below, are dark. However, the face and especially the lower part of each inner ear and tragus are almost white. The tragus is tall, straight-sided, with a rounded tip, and a small indication of a basal lobe (Fig. 8I). The skull is characteristically large with a greatest length of 16.42–17.16 mm (Table 3). The braincase is greatly inflated and is sharply elevated above the small, flattened rostrum. The first upper incisor (I 2) has a broad, tricuspid crown; the second (I 3) is unicuspid with a well developed cingulum. The first upper premolar (P 2) is well developed and between half and two-thirds the crown area of the second premolar (P 4). The first and second lower premolars (P 2, P 3) are equal in size and about half the crown area and height of the third (P 4). Despite dissecting the penis, no baculum was found; this agrees with Krutzsch (2000: 105) who also reported the absence of a baculum in Miniopterus.

The taxonomy of African Miniopterus is in need of revision, for example to determine the distinction between M. inflatus and M. schreibersii (Simmons, 2005). Following Happold and Happold (2013), the new records from Congo are referred to M. i. inflatus.

ENHANCING STOCHASTIC PROCESS MONITORING IN PRODUCTION SYSTEMS USING DEEP KOOPMAN NEURAL NETWORKS
Creators: name: Wei Ming, Zhang

Subjects: Stochastic Production Systems (SPS), Process Monitoring, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), Support Vector Machines (SVM)

description: Stochastic production systems (SPS) have demonstrated significant potential in various fields, including fermentation, pharmaceuticals, and composite material production. However, ensuring product quality in such scenarios is a critical challenge due to the stringent quality constraints. SPS is known for its intrinsic stochasticity and measurement uncertainty, making process monitoring essential but challenging.

The stochastic nature of SPS is exacerbated by external factors such as inputs, environmental conditions, and equipment state, all of which influence the final product's quality and performance. Moreover, the lack of precise in-situ measurements introduces additional noise into the available data. Consequently, effective process monitoring for SPS is indispensable.

Over the past few decades, several methods have been developed for SPS process monitoring. Multiway Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been widely used due to its simplicity, low-dimensional computing space, and fast processing of high-dimensional data. However, it is limited by its linearity and cannot handle nonlinear dynamics. To address this limitation, the kernel method has been employed to map data into a high-dimensional feature space, making data linearly separable. Other methods, including an improved Independent Component Analysis (ICA), a kernel ICAPCA method, and a multiway kernel entropy ICA method, have been developed to capture nonlinear and non-Gaussian features in SPS data. Support Vector Machines (SVM) integrated with PCA or fuzzy reasoning have been used for anomaly detection in SPS. However, these methods struggle to handle the common characteristics of SPS data, such as nonlinearity, heavy-tailed distributions, and multimodality. Additionally, the tuning of hyperparameters in these methods can be cumbersome.

Comments. Pádua et. al. (2019) recorded P. albomarginata for first time in Colombia. However, the specimens analyzed by these authors were a misidentification. According to Dr. Edgar Palacio (pers. comm. with ROA), that species is a new species in the albomarginata group (sensu Porter 1970) which he will describe later. So, P. albormarginata is recorded for the first time in Colombia in this work.
