 C o m m e n t: Pseudobium richteri was previously known from southern Iran and Afghanistan (ASSING 2007), and was recently reported also from Israel (ASSING & FELDMANN 2012). The above specimens from Oman and Yemen represent new country records. For a map illustrating the previously known distribution see ASSING (2007). It should be noted that the illustrations of the aedeagus of P. richteri in BOHA (1988) are either misleading or refer to a species that is not conspecific with the above material. Based on the illustration of the aedeagus provided by COIFFAIT (1982), it does not seem unlikely that the type material of P. buettikeri (COIFFAIT 1979), which was described from Saudi Arabia, is conspecific with P. richteri.

description: In the presence of external off-resonance and circularly-polarized irradiation, we have derived a many-body formalism and performed a detailed numerical analysis for both the conduction and optical currents in $α-\mc{T}_3$ lattices. The calculated complex many-body dielectric function, as well as conductivities of displacement and transport currents, display strong dependence on the lattice-structure parameter $α$, especially approaching the graphene limit with $α\to 0$. Unique features in dispersion and damping of plasmon modes are observed with different $α$ values, which are further accompanied by a reduced transport conductivity under irradiation. The discovery in this paper can be used for designing novel multi-functional nanoelectronic and nanoplasmonic devices.

description: This thesis explores specific aspects of the broad subgenre of classical/jazz cross-genre music through the performative examination of selected compositions that feature or include the clarinet or saxophone. Several mid-20th century works by American composers Gunther Schuller and William Russo, and several 21st century works by contemporary Australian composers Steve Newcomb and Yitzhak Yedid are explored through preparation, performance, and reflection. Through a performance-centric perspective, these works are contextualised through historical overviews of the third stream and cross-genre music, examinations of cross-genre performance considerations, and individual case studies of the key repertoire performed.

description: Aggregation behavior of particles in nonpolar medium is studied with time-resolved light scattering. At low concentrations of surfactant particles are weakly charged and suspensions are not stable. Suspensions get progressively more stable with increasing surfactant concentration as particles get more highly charged. At high concentrations the particles get neutralized and aggregation is again fast. The theory of Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek (DLVO) is able to predict the stability ratios quantitatively by using the experimentally measured surface charge, screening lengths and van der Waals forces.

description: The thermodynamic properties of the Shastry-Sutherland model have posed one of the longest-lasting conundrums in frustrated quantum magnetism. Over a wide range on both sides of the quantum phase transition (QPT) from the dimer-product to the plaquette-based ground state, neither analytical nor any available numerical methods have come close to reproducing the physics of the excited states and thermal response. We solve this problem in the dimer-product phase by introducing two qualitative advances in computational physics. One is the use of thermal pure quantum (TPQ) states to augment dramatically the size of clusters amenable to exact diagonalization. The second is the use of tensor-network methods, in the form of infinite projected entangled pair states (iPEPS), for the calculation of finite-temperature quantities. We demonstrate convergence as a function of system size in TPQ calculations and of bond dimension in our iPEPS results, with complete mutual agreement even extremely close to the QPT. Our methods reveal a remarkably sharp and low-lying feature in the magnetic specific heat around the QPT, whose origin appears to lie in a proliferation of excitations composed of two-triplon bound states. The surprisingly low energy scale and apparently extended spatial nature of these states explain the failure of less refined numerical approaches to capture their physics. Both of our methods will have broad and immediate application in addressing the thermodynamic response of a wide range of highly frustrated magnetic models and materials.

description: Background: Cholera is an acute gastrointestinal infection that characteristically presents with profuse watery diarrhea and can rapidly result in severe dehydration and death. Its usual mode of transmission is by oral route. Objective: To assess the level of awareness and knowledge of hazards associated with cholera in Ise/Orun Local Government Area, Ekiti State. Methods: A descriptive survey research design was adopted. A sample size of 143 was determined using Fisher's statistical formula. Data were collated and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25. Chi-square was used with the level of significance for the statistical tests set at 0.05. Results: The sex of the respondents indicated a high number of males 80 (55.9%) with the least number of females 63 (44.1%); 57(39.9%) attended secondary school with the least 22 (15.4%) who attended other schools. Majority (76; 53.1%) of the respondents received information about cholera through radio. Majority of the respondents 80(55.9%) disagreed to have gotten their information from brochures, posters, and other printed materials with a few 63(44.1%) who agreed. Most (116; 81.1%) people believed that boiling water for at least five minutes can prevent cholera with a few 27 (18.9%) who disagreed. Conclusion: Various studies elsewhere have utilized geographic and mathematical information systems to assess the spatial distribution of cholera at local levels, demonstrating case clustering and disease risk areas. Due to its endemicity in Nigeria, surveillance systems can provide early alerts to outbreaks, therefore leading to a coordinated response.

description: In a recent paper, Rungta et. al. [Phys. Rev. A, 64, 042315, 2001] introduced a measure of mixed-state entanglement called the I-concurrence for arbitrary pairs of qudits. We find an exact formula for an entanglement measure closely related to the I-concurrence, the I-tangle, for all mixed states of two qudits having no more than two nonzero eigenvalues. We use this formula to provide a tight upper bound for the entanglement of formation for rank-2 mixed states of a qubit and a qudit.

description: With the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, we obtain the energy-momentum relation of a charged particle as it is absorbed by the Gauss-Bonnet AdS black hole. On the basis of the energy-momentum relation at the event horizon, we investigate the first law, second law, and weak cosmic censorship conjecture in both the normal phase space and extended phase space. Our results show that the first law, second law as well as the weak cosmic censorship conjecture are valid in the normal phase space for all the initial states are black holes. However, in the extended phase space, the second law is violated for the extremal and near-extremal black holes, and the weak cosmic censorship conjecture is violable for the near-extremal black hole, though the first law is still valid. In addition, in both the the normal and extended phase spaces, we find the absorbed particle changes the configuration of the near-extremal black hole, while don't change that of the extremal black hole.

description: The equipment control (EC) software of the GSI accelerators has been written entirely in Pascal. Modern software development is based on C++ or Java. To be prepared for the future, we decided to convert the EC software from Pascal to C in a first step. Considering the large amount of software, this is done automatically as far as possible. The paper describes our experiences gained using a Pascal to C translator, Perl scripts, and, of course, some manual interaction.

description: Globalisation is a process which transformed the world into a single political economy. Africa is one of the continents that is sharply affected by globalisation. This paper examined the impacts of globalisation in consolidating Africa's economic and political dependency and underdevelopment. The problem is globalisation comes up with many opportunities, especially for developing countries, but, Africa failed to utilize the opportunities. The paper is a conceptual paper which used secondary sources of data for analysis and interpretations. The work discovered that Africa found itself more caged in a circle of dependency and underdevelopment despite all the trade negotiations, open opportunities, and technological transfer. Thus, the paper suggested that Africa cannot exist in isolation especially in this wave of globalisation, but there is a need for an internal restructuring to accommodate diversities and complexities of external forces and balance them with internal advantages for local industrialisation, genuine regional integration, and intensive trade development.
Superstring at the boundary of open supermembrane interacting with D=4 supergravity and matter supermultiplets

description: We present the complete supersymmetric and $κ$--symmetric action for the 4-dimensional interacting system of open supermembrane, dynamical supergravity and 3--form matter multiplets. The cases of a single 3-form matter multiplet and a quite generic model with a number of nonlinear interacting double 3-form multiplets are considered. In all cases the fermionic parameter of the $κ$-symmetry is subject to two apparently different projection conditions which suggests that the ground state of the system, in particular a domain junction, might preserve at most 1/4 of the spacetime supersymmetry. The boundary term of the open supermembrane action, needed to preserve the $κ$-symmetry, has the meaning of the action of a superstring. The Wess--Zumino term of this superstring action is expressed in terms of real linear superfield playing the role of Stückelberg field for the 3--form gauge symmetry. This indicates that this symmetry is broken spontaneously by the superstring at the boundary of supermembrane.

subject: Prospective memory across adolescence

description: Remembering to carry out a planned intention in some point in the future (e.g., pass a message to a friend) is an important cognitive function vital for day-to-day functioning. This cognitive function is referred to as Prospective memory (PM) and is considered to be essential for autonomous behaviour. Although there has been extensive research into the decline of PM in older adulthood, little is known about the developmental trajectory of PM throughout adolescence, a time of important brain maturation. Research in the development of PM across adolescence has been limited, and the previous studies that have examined PM development in adolescents have yielded inconsistent findings. Therefore in the present thesis, the development of PM was examined in 85 participants across the following groups: 12- to 13-year-olds (n = 22), 14- to 15-year-olds (n = 23), 16- to 17-year-olds (n = 20), and 18- to 19-year-olds (n = 28). A series of three studies were conducted to examine the specific processes that contribute to PM development in adolescence. The aim of Study 1 was to examine the development of PM across adolescence using an event-based PM task that varied in cue frequency. More specifically, a 6-cue (10 min) and a 30-cue (30 min) event-based PM task (with font-colour stimuli as PM cues) and a lexical-decision for the ongoing task were used. By manipulating the cue frequency, this study could clarify the basis of any observed age-related difference of PM performance in adolescence. In addition, a retrospective memory (RM) task (viz., Hopkins Verbal Learning Test Revised [HVLT-R]) was administered to see if RM and PM have a different developmental trajectory in adolescence.

description: In the past, the features of a user interface were limited by those available in the existing graphical widgets it used. Now, improvements in processor speed have fostered the emergence of interpreted languages, in which the appropriate method to render a given data object can be loaded at runtime. XML can be used to precisely describe the association of data types with their graphical handling (beans), and Java provides an especially rich environment for programming the graphics. We present a graphical user interface builder based on Java Beans and XML, in which the graphical screens are described textually (in files or a database) in terms of their screen components. Each component may be a simple text read back, or a complex plot. The programming model provides for dynamic data pertaining to a component to be forwarded synchronously or asynchronously, to the appropriate handler, which may be a built-in method, or a complex applet. This work was initially motivated by the need to move the legacy VMS display interface of the SLAC Control Program to another platform while preserving all of its existing functionality. However the model allows us a powerful and generic system for adding new kinds of graphics, such as Matlab, data sources, such as EPICS, middleware, such as AIDA[1], and transport, such as XML and SOAP. The system will also include a management console, which will be able to report on the present usage of the system, for instance who is running it where and connected to which channels.

description: Real-world congestion problems (e.g. traffic congestion) are typically very complex and large-scale. Multiagent reinforcement learning (MARL) is a promising candidate for dealing with this emerging complexity by providing an autonomous and distributed solution to these problems. However, there are three limiting factors that affect the deployability of MARL approaches to congestion problems. These are learning time, scalability and decentralised coordination i.e. no communication between the learning agents. In this paper we introduce Resource Abstraction, an approach that addresses these challenges by allocating the available resources into abstract groups. This abstraction creates new reward functions that provide a more informative signal to the learning agents and aid the coordination amongst them. Experimental work is conducted on two benchmark domains from the literature, an abstract congestion problem and a realistic traffic congestion problem. The current state-of-the-art for solving multiagent congestion problems is a form of reward shaping called difference rewards. We show that the system using Resource Abstraction significantly improves the learning speed and scalability, and achieves the highest possible or near-highest joint performance/social welfare for both congestion problems in large-scale scenarios involving up to 1000 reinforcement learning agents.

description: The estimation of runoff volume and peak runoff rate has been the focus of significant hydrological research worldwide. The results of these studies, usually in the form of empirical relationships or models, are intrinsically linked to the environment in which the study was conducted. This often limits the applicability and accuracy of the method of runoff estimation at alternative and ungauged locations. Within the brigalow belt of central Queensland, Australia, a scarcity of stream gauging stations to measure runoff volume and peak runoff rate has impeded research on the surface water hydrology of the region. Intermittent failure of these stations and consequently, multiple periods of missing data, have added further complexity and challenge to the understanding of catchment hydrology in the region. Commencing in 1965 and continuing today, the Brigalow Catchment Study in central Queensland has measured both runoff volume and peak runoff rate from three small catchments which initially contained native brigalow scrub. The natural hydrology of the three catchments was characterised during a 17-year calibration period from 1965 to 1981. In 1982, two of the three catchments were cleared, with one developed for cropping and one developed for improved pasture, while the third was retained as an uncleared control catchment. Study of the effect of land development on surface hydrology commenced in 1984. Twenty-one years of record was used to quantify the changes in peak runoff rate associated with land development. Results however, were confounded by missing data. To allow for robust analysis, estimates of missing data were generated via three different methods: (1) multiple variable regression analyses; (2) Soil Conservation Service curve number and graphical peak discharge methodologies; and (3) a simple variable infiltration rate model. The suitability of each technique for the estimation of peak runoff rate was assessed using both graphical and numerical evaluation.

description: Objective: Breast cancer remains to be the globally leading female cancer. About 15% to 20% of breast cancers have human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive tumors – a more aggressive breast cancer subtype with shortened survival. In the light of new and updated trial data on trastuzumab therapy for HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer (EBC), we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to update the pooling of its relative treatment effects. Methods: Systematic search was performed through Pubmed and Scopus to identify studies comparing survival outcomes and risks of heart toxicity effects of adjuvant trastuzumab with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for HER2-positive EBC patients. Results: Based on the eight included studies in the review, combining trastuzumab with chemotherapy continues to show lowered death and relapse risks by one-third. The decision to initiate trastuzumab, however, needs to be prudently deliberated as two to three times more cardiotoxicity risk was shown to be associated with its use. Conclusion: Administering adjuvant trastuzumab in a weekly cycle concurrently with anthracycline-taxane chemotherapy regimen appears to be a preferable option to optimize its favorable effect in improving DFS and to prevent significantly higher risk for cardiotoxic effects.

description: We review the concept of dynamical ensembles in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics as specified from an action functional or Lagrangian on spacetime. There, under local detailed balance, the breaking of time-reversal invariance is quantified via the entropy flux, and we revisit some of the consequences for fluctuation and response theory. Frenesy is the time-symmetric part of the path-space action with respect to a reference process. It collects the variable quiescence and dynamical activity as function of the system's trajectory, and as has been introduced under different forms in studies of nonequilibria. We discuss its various realizations for physically inspired Markov jump and diffusion processes and why it matters a good deal for nonequilibrium physics. This review then serves also as an introduction to the exploration of frenetic contributions in nonequilibrium phenomena.

description: The underlying structure of low-lying collective bands of atomic nuclei is discussed from a novel perspective on the interplay between single-particle and collective degrees of freedom, by utilizing state-of-the-art configuration interaction calculations on heavy nuclei. Besides the multipole components of the nucleon-nucleon interaction that drive collective modes forming those bands, the monopole component is shown to control the resistance against such modes. The calculated structure of 154Sm corresponds to coexistence between prolate and triaxial shapes, while that of 166Er exhibits a deformed shape with a strong triaxial instability. Both findings differ from traditional views based on beta/gamma vibrations. The formation of collective bands is shown to be facilitated from a self-organization mechanism.

description: The statistics of sea state duration (persistence) have been found to be dependent upon the recording interval Δt. Such behavior can be explained as a consequence of the fact that the graph of a time series of an environmental parameter such as the significant wave height has an irregular, "fractal" geometry. The mean duration, \barτ, can have a power-law dependence on Δt as Δt -> 0, with an exponent equal to the fractal dimension of the level sets of the time series graph. This recording interval dependence means that the mean duration is not a well defined quantity to use for marine operational purposes. A more practical quantity may be the "useful mean duration", \barτ^u, estimated from the formula (\sumτ_i^2)/(\sumτ_i), where each interval [t_i,t_i+τ_i] satisfying the appropriate criterion is weighted by its duration. These results are illustrated using wave data from the Frigg gas field in the North Sea.

description: This research tells the story of how the leadership practices of the Robertsville Communities for Children Facilitating Partner (RCfC FP) Team have transformed systems thinking using an ecological approach. Research about place-based programs has focused on considering the efficacy of the approach in generating outcomes for children. Discussions with leaders from Robertsville Communities for Children site suggested that their relational practices were imperative to building and sustaining a shared vision for child wellbeing and intentionally designed to collaboratively nurture healthy partnerships with children, the workforce and community. However, there are many unknowns about how the leadership contributes to achieving these outcomes. This research examines how the RCFCC leadership practices build sustainable relationships with children and community and mobilised social change. It addressed a gap in literature by making visible the practices and contexts of place-based leaders, garnering knowledge from those leaders working with and within the field. The research aims to tell the previously unknown stories of place-based leaders and scaffolding their leadership identity by making visible their relational practices. Using the lenses of Scharmer and Kaufer (2013) Theory U, this thesis makes visible the relationality of place-based leadership tools, practices and thinking. It used a cartographic approach to map where the affordances and constraints of the ecological, social and spiritual fields of leadership resided within the landscape. The co-generative approach of Theory U used critical reflection, posthuman theories and contemplative practices to analyse data, literature together with stakeholder feedback, to surface three research prototypes for contemplating the future of place-based leadership. This study suggests that the knowledge does not reside with one person, rather in now place-based leaders have honed their relational practices to make bridges that connect disciplinary knowledge which have co-generated transformational practices.

description: Mutation testing is a means to assess the effectiveness of a test suite and its outcome is considered more meaningful than code coverage metrics. However, despite several optimizations, mutation testing requires a significant computational effort and has not been widely adopted in industry. Therefore, we study in this paper whether test effectiveness can be approximated using a more light-weight approach. We hypothesize that a test case is more likely to detect faults in methods that are close to the test case on the call stack than in methods that the test case accesses indirectly through many other methods. Based on this hypothesis, we propose the minimal stack distance between test case and method as a new test measure, which expresses how close any test case comes to a given method, and study its correlation with test effectiveness. We conducted an empirical study with 21 open-source projects, which comprise in total 1.8 million LOC, and show that a correlation exists between stack distance and test effectiveness. The correlation reaches a strength up to 0.58. We further show that a classifier using the minimal stack distance along with additional easily computable measures can predict the mutation testing result of a method with 92.9% precision and 93.4% recall. Hence, such a classifier can be taken into consideration as a light-weight alternative to mutation testing or as a preceding, less costly step to that.

description: A common approach to learn robotic skills is to imitate a demonstrated policy. Due to the compounding of small errors and perturbations, this approach may let the robot leave the states in which the demonstrations were provided. This requires the consideration of additional strategies to guarantee that the robot will behave appropriately when facing unknown states. We propose to use a Bayesian method to quantify the action uncertainty at each state. The proposed Bayesian method is simple to set up, computationally efficient, and can adapt to a wide range of problems. Our approach exploits the estimated uncertainty to fuse the imitation policy with additional policies. It is validated on a Panda robot with the imitation of three manipulation tasks in the continuous domain using different control input/state pairs.

description: Under the principle of territorial sovereignty, a judgment delivered in one country cannot be enforced in another country, unless there is an international agreement to that effect. The common law, under some specified circumstances, permits the enforcement of foreign judgments within certain parameters. Under the doctrine of obligation, where a foreign court of competent jurisdiction has adjudicated that a sum of money is due from one person to another, the liability to pay that sum becomes a legal obligation that may be enforced in the UK by an action of debt, thus Russell v Smith. The doctrine of obligation came under intense criticism due to the fact that it failed to reveal the policy considerations underpinning the rules on recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in the UK. The Brussels I Regulation on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters was introduced as a result of the shortfalls of the common law. In light of the above, this study was undertaken, in order to unearth the effectiveness or otherwise of the enforcement of foreign judgments under the common law, the Administration of Justice Act 1920, and the Brussels I Regulation (the Regulation) in the UK. The paper argues that enforcement under the Regulation is less complicated and accords the claimant much wider options of instituting enforcement proceedings in an enhanced forum (all Contracting State parties) than the common law and the Administration of Justice Act 1920.

We give transverse momentum, mass, and rapidity distributions. The cross sections for coherent rho0 production at sqrt{s_NN}=130 and 200 GeV are in agreement with theoretical predictions, which treat rho^0 production and nuclear excitation as independent processes.
