 Notes
 Aesernoides is endemic to northern New South Wales and southeastern Queensland, Australia. Number of species: 1. Host­plants: unknown. Imature stages: unknown.
 Aesernoides is similar in appearance to large Callidemum species but differs by the structure of the pronotum, more abruptly raised epipleura at humeri and more strongly expanded apical maxillary palpomere. Aesernoides is also similar to species of Paropsides, but this genus has the metepisternum strongly grooved (except the hemispherical P. umbrosa) and the upper margin of the epipleuron laterally prominent.

description: We consider warped compactifications in (4+d)-dimensional theories, with four dimensional de Sitter dS_4 vacua (with Hubble parameter H) and with a compact internal space. After introducing a gauge-invariant formalism for the generic metric perturbations of these backgrounds, we focus on modes which are scalar with respect to dS_4. The physical eigenmasses of these modes acquire a large universal tachyonic contribution -12d/(d+2) H^2, independently of the stabilization mechanism for the compact space, in addition to the usual KK masses, which instead encode the effects of the stabilization. General arguments, as well as specific examples, lead us to conjecture that, for sufficiently large dS curvature, the compactified geometry becomes gravitationally unstable due to the tachyonic growth of the scalar perturbations. This mean that for any stabilization mechanism the curvature of the dS geometry cannot exceed some critical value. We relate this effect to the anisotropy of the bulk geometry and suggest the end points of the instability. Of relevance for inflationary cosmology, the perturbations of the bulk metric inevitably induce a new modulus field, which describes the conformal fluctuations of the 4 dimensional metric. If this mode is light during inflation, the induced conformal fluctuations will be amplified with a scale free spectrum and with an amplitude which is disentangled from the standard result of slow-roll inflation. The conformal 4d metric fluctuations give rise to a very generic realization of the mechanism of modulated cosmological fluctuations, related to spatial variation of couplings during (p)reheating after inflation.

description: We show that the quantum phase transition arising in a standard radiation-matter model (Dicke model) belongs to the same universality class as the infinitely-coordinated, transverse field XY model. The effective qubit-qubit exchange interaction is shown to be proportional to the square of the qubit-radiation coupling. A universal finite-size scaling is derived for the corresponding two-qubit entanglement (concurrence) and a size-consistent effective Hamiltonian is proposed for the qubit subsystem.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: Created under the auspices of the RDA Interest Group on Audit and Certification, this Working Group is a partnership between the Data Seal of Approval (DSA) and the World Data System (WDS) to develop a common set of requirements for basic assessment and certification of data repositories. Both the DSA and the WDS are lightweight certification mechanisms and their criteria have much in common, so it makes sense to bring them together. In addition the Working Group seeks to develop common assessment procedures, a shared testbed for assessment, and ultimately a framework for certification that includes other standards like Nestor and ISO 16363 as well. This presentation will provide an overview of the activities of the working group, including a review of the harmonized requirements and procedures.
A case for an interdisciplinary approach to teaching Food Studies 12 and Social Justice 12
Creators: name: May, Lindsay
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The Anthropocene era is upon us, and the world the next generations will face is beyond our imagination. As educators, it is incumbent upon us to provide learning opportunities for students to see how human behaviors and daily choices are negatively impacting our environment and communities. To enable this type of learning, we need to transform the way that we teach and help students see how interconnected their lives are, with each other and the environment. For this research, I explored the BC Ministry of Education curriculum for Food Studies 12 and Social Justice 12 to see if they are complementary and would suit an interdisciplinary approach. I used critical, interpretive and philosophical inquiry to determine if this interdisciplinary approach could be framed by Thompson’s Dual Helix systems thinking. My findings show that by using Thompson’s philosophical framework, we can see how the disciplines of Home Economics and Social Studies are interconnected and create a balance in the world. The curricular analysis establishes that the curricular introduction, rationale, goals and content of Food Studies 12 and Social Justice 12 are complementary and a case can be made for an interdisciplinary approach to teaching these courses.

description: In the ${\rm AdS}_3/{\rm CFT}_2$ setup we elucidate how gauge invariant boundary patterns of entanglement of the CFT vacuum are encoded into the bulk via the coefficient dynamics of an $A_{N-3}$, $N\geq 4$ cluster algebra. In the static case this dynamics of encoding manifests itself in kinematic space, which is a copy of de Sitter space ${\rm dS}_2$, in a particularly instructive manner. For a choice of partition of the boundary into $N$ regions the patterns of entanglement, associated with conditional mutual informations of overlapping regions, are related to triangulations of geodesic $N$-gons. Such triangulations are then mapped to causal patterns in kinematic space. For a fixed $N$ the space of all causal patterns is related to the associahedron ${\mathcal K}^{N-3}$ an object well-known from previous studies on scattering amplitudes. On this space of causal patterns cluster dynamics acts by a recursion provided by a Zamolodchikov's $Y$-system of type $(A_{N-3},A_1)$. We observe that the space of causal patterns is equipped with a partial order, and is isomorphic to the Tamari lattice. The mutation of causal patterns can be encapsulated by a walk of $N-3$ particles interacting in a peculiar manner in the past light cone of a point of ${\rm dS}_2$.

description: A family of protocols for quantum weak coin-flipping which asymptotically achieve a bias of 0.192 is described in this paper. The family contains protocols with n+2 messages for all n>1. The case n=2 is equivalent to the protocol of Spekkens and Rudolph with bias of 0.207. The case n=3 achieves a bias of 0.199, and n=8 achieves a bias of 0.193. The analysis of the protocols uses Kitaev's description of coin-flipping as a semidefinite program. The paper constructs an analytical solution to the dual problem which provides an upper bound on the amount that a party can cheat.

description: In the last few decades, extensions of General Relativity have reached always more attention especially in view of possible breakdowns of the standard $Λ$CDM paradigm at intermediate and high redshift regimes. If General Relativity would not be the ultimate theory of gravity, modifying Einstein's gravity in the homogeneous and isotropic universe may likely represent a viable path toward the description of current universe acceleration. We here focus our attention on two classes of extended theories, i.e. the $f(R)$ and $f(R,G)$-gravity. We parameterize the so-obtained Hubble function by means of effective barotropic fluids, by calibrating the shapes of our curves through some of the most suitable dark energy parameterizations, XCDM, CPL, WP. Afterwards, by virtue of the correspondence between the Ricci scalar and the Gauss-Bonnet topological invariant with the redshift $z$, we rewrite $f(R,G)$ in terms of corresponding $f(z)$ auxiliary functions. This scheme enables one to get numerical shapes for $f(R,G)$ and $f(R)$ models, through a coarse-grained inverse scattering procedure. Although our procedure agrees with the simplest extensions of general relativity, it leaves open the possibility that the most suitable forms of $f(R)$ and $f(R,G)$ are rational Padé polynomials of first orders. These approximations seem to be compatible with numerical reconstructions within intermediate redshift domains and match fairly well small redshift tests.

description: Early work by five RDA Working Groups (DTR, DFT, PIT, PP, MDSD) developed a foundation that was important for progress and common understanding. As these groups completed their efforts, continued interaction and expansion to other groups was deemed useful to form a more integrated view. As a result a new Interest Group entitled "Data Fabric" was formed. Starting with a white paper, the DFIG will broadly consider and illustrate the possible directions to make data practices more efficient and cost-effective. We will describe important common components and their services, along with principles of component and service interaction and associated best practices. Over time we will seek consensus on conceptual views of the ecological landscape of components and services that are required. The intent is to promote ingredients, such as policy-based automatic procedures adhering to basic data organization principles, that are necessary to professionally deal with large datasets in ways based on well-accepted concepts and mechanisms. These discussions concretized by spin-off WGs are expected to benefit RDA groups as well as the broader research and data community.

description: The concept of quantum-mechanical nematic order, which is important in systems such as superconductors, is based on an analogy to classical liquid crystals, where order parameters are obtained through orientational expansions. We generalize this method to quantum mechanics based on an expansion of Wigner functions. This provides a unified framework applicable to arbitrary quantum systems. The formalism is demonstrated for the cases of Fermi liquids and spin systems. Moreover, we derive new order parameters for molecular systems, which cannot be properly described with the usual nematic tensors.

description: Being able to reliably and efficiently identify entire or subsets of data in large and dynamically growing or changing datasets constitutes a significant challenge for a range of research domains. To repeat an earlier study, or to apply data from an earlier study to a new model, we need to be able to precisely identify the very subset of data used. While verbal descriptions of how the subset was created are hardly precise enough and do not support automated handling, keeping redundant copies of the data in question does not scale up to the big data settings encountered in many disciplines today. Furthermore, we need to handle situations where new data gets added or existing data gets corrected or modified over time. Conventional approaches are not sufficient. We will review the challenges identified above and discuss solutions that are currently elaborated within the context of the Working Group of the Research Data Alliance (RDA) on Data Citation: Making Dynamic Data Citable. The approach is based on versioned and time-stamped data sources, with persistent identifiers being assigned to the time-stamped queries/expressions that are used for creating the subset of data. We will further review results from the first pilots evaluating the approach.

description: Aim: To determine the reported effect of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using Motivational Interviewing (MI) to advance physical activity among older adults. Methods: We searched for RCTs in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, AgeLine, PsycINFO and Cochrane Library from inception until March, 2019. Identified trials that used MI for improving physical activity in community-dwelling older adults (≥65 years). Results: From 5616 citations identified from the search, we included three trials (four publications). There was no evidence of a significant difference between the effect of MI and usual care on physical activity in older adults (Standard Mean Difference (SMD) -0.02, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.05 to 0.46, I2 16%; 3 trials; 84 participants). Conclusion: There is insufficient evidence to support the effect of MI on improving physical activity among older adults. There is a need for more high quality trials to show that MI is beneficial in older adults who are physically inactive.

description: We review the intriguing many-body physics resulting out of the interplay of a single, local impurity and the two-particle interaction in a one-dimensional Fermi system. Even if the underlying homogeneous correlated system is taken to be metallic, this interplay leads to an emergent quantum phase transition between metallic and insulating states. We show that the zero temperature critical point and the universal low-energy physics associated to it, is realized in two different models, the field theoretical local sine-Gordon model and spinless fermions on a lattice with nearest-neighbor hopping and two-particle interaction, as well as in an experimental setup consisting of a highly tunable quantum circuit. Despite the different high-energy physics of the three systems the universal low-energy scaling curves of the conductance as a function of temperature agree up to a very high precision without any free parameter. Overall this provides a convincing example of how emergent universality in complex systems originating from a common underlying quantum critical point establishes a bridge between different fields of physics. In our case between field theory, quantum many-body theory of correlated Fermi systems, and experimental circuit quantum electrodynamics.

description: Measuring shock velocities is crucial for understanding the energy transfer processes at the shock fronts of supernova remnants (SNRs), including acceleration of cosmic rays. Here we present shock velocity measurements on the SNR N132D, based on the thermal properties of the shock-heated interstellar medium. We apply a self-consistent model developed in our previous work to X-ray data from deep Chandra observations with an effective exposure of $\sim$ 900 ks. In our model, both temperature and ionization relaxation processes in post-shock plasmas are simultaneously calculated, so that we can trace back to the initial condition of the shock-heated plasma to constrain the shock velocity. We reveal that the shock velocity ranges from 800 to 1500 $\rm{km~s^{-1}}$ with moderate azimuthal dependence. Although our measurement is consistent with the velocity determined by independent proper motion measurements in the south rim regions, a large discrepancy between the two measurements (up to a factor of 4) is found in the north rim regions. This implies that a substantial amount of the kinetic energy has been transferred to the nonthermal component through highly efficient particle acceleration. Our results are qualitatively consistent with the $γ$-ray observations of this SNR.

description: We present a detailed investigation of the Rastall gravity extension of the standard $Λ$CDM model. We review the model for two simultaneous modifications of different nature in the Friedmann equation due to the Rastall gravity: the new contributions of the material (actual) sources (considered as effective source) and the altered evolution of the material sources. We discuss the role/behavior of these modifications with regard to some low redshift tensions, including the so-called $H_0$ tension, prevailing within the standard $Λ$CDM. We constrain the model at the level of linear perturbations, and obtain the first constraints through a robust and accurate analysis using the latest full Planck CMB data, with and without including BAO data. We find that the Rastall parameter $ε$ (null for general relativity) is consistent with zero at 68\% CL (with a tendency towards positive values, $-0.0001 < ε< 0.0007$ (CMB+BAO) at 68\% CL), which in turn implies no significant statistical evidence for deviation from general relativity, and also a precision of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-4})$ for the coefficient $-1/2$ of the term $g_{μν}R$ in the Einstein field equations of general relativity (guaranteeing the local energy-momentum conservation). We explore the consequences led by the Rastall gravity on the cosmological parameters in the light of the observational analyses. It turns out that the effective source dynamically screens the usual vacuum energy at high redshifts, but this mechanism barely works due to the opposition by the altered evolution of CDM. Consequently, two simultaneous modifications of different nature in the Friedmann equation act against each other, and do not help to considerably relax the so-called low redshift tensions. Our results may offer a guide for the research community that studies the Rastall gravity in various aspects of gravitation and cosmology.

description: Traffic pattern prediction has emerged as a promising approach for efficiently managing and mitigating the impacts of event-driven bursty traffic in massive machine-type communication (mMTC) networks. However, achieving accurate predictions of bursty traffic remains a non-trivial task due to the inherent randomness of events, and these challenges intensify within live network environments. Consequently, there is a compelling imperative to design a lightweight and agile framework capable of assimilating continuously collected data from the network and accurately forecasting bursty traffic in mMTC networks. This paper addresses these challenges by presenting a machine learning-based framework tailored for forecasting bursty traffic in multi-channel slotted ALOHA networks. The proposed machine learning network comprises long-term short-term memory (LSTM) and a DenseNet with feed-forward neural network (FFNN) layers, where the residual connections enhance the training ability of the machine learning network in capturing complicated patterns. Furthermore, we develop a new low-complexity online prediction algorithm that updates the states of the LSTM network by leveraging frequently collected data from the mMTC network. Simulation results and complexity analysis demonstrate the superiority of our proposed algorithm in terms of both accuracy and complexity, making it well-suited for time-critical live scenarios. We evaluate the performance of the proposed framework in a network with a single base station and thousands of devices organized into groups with distinct traffic-generating characteristics. Comprehensive evaluations and simulations indicate that our proposed machine learning approach achieves a remarkable $52\%$ higher accuracy in long-term predictions compared to traditional methods, without imposing additional processing load on the system.

description: The $Δ$-scaling method has been applied to ultra-relativistic p+p, C+C and Pb+Pb collision data simulated using a high energy Monte Carlo package, LUCIAE 3.0. The $Δ$-scaling is found to be valid for some physical variables, such as charged particle multiplicity, strange particle multiplicity and number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions from these simulated nucleus-nucleus collisions over an extended energy ranging from $E_{lab}$ = 20 to 200 A GeV. In addition we derived information entropy from the multiplicity distribution as a function of beam energy for these collisions.

description: How does the delay function affect its decay rate for a stable stochastic delay differential equation with an unbounded delay? Under suitable Khasminskii-type conditions, an existence-and-uniqueness theorem for an SDDE with a general unbounded time-varying delay will be firstly given. Its decay rate will be discussed when the equation is stable. Given the unbounded delay function, it will be shown that the decay rate can be directly expressed as a function of the delay.

description: We present spectroscopy of the microquasar SS 433 obtained near primary eclipse and disk precessional phase Psi = 0.0, when the accretion disk is expected to be most ``face-on''. The likelihood of observing the spectrum of the mass donor is maximized at this combination of orbital and precessional phases since the donor is in the foreground and above the extended disk believed to be present in the system. The spectra were obtained over four different runs centered on these special phases. The blue spectra show clear evidence of absorption features consistent with a classification of A3-7 I. The behavior of the observed lines indicates an origin in the mass donor. The observed radial velocity variations are in anti-phase to the disk, the absorption lines strengthen at mid-eclipse when the donor star is expected to contribute its maximum percentage of the total flux, and the line widths are consistent with lines created in an A supergiant photosphere. We discuss and cast doubt on the possibility that these lines represent a shell spectrum rather than the mass donor itself. We re-evaluate the mass ratio of the system and derive masses of 10.9 +/- 3.1 Msun and 2.9 +/- 0.7 Msun for the mass donor and compact object plus disk, respectively. We suggest that the compact object is a low mass black hole. In addition, we review the behavior of the observed emission lines from both the disk/wind and high velocity jets.

description: The minimal supersymmetric standard model, and extensions, have stringent upper bounds on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson if perturbativity up to the Planck scale is assumed. We argue that these bounds are softened tremendously if the Higgs is charged under an asymptotically free gauge group. We present a model with an additional SU(2) gauge group which easily produces Higgs masses above 200 GeV while avoiding electroweak constraints. If one allows some fine-tuning of the high-scale value of the gauge coupling, Higgs masses greater than 350 GeV are achieved. Unification of couplings is predicted to similar accuracy as in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with only small deviations at the two-loop level.

alluvial fan formation process

description: A modified moving particles simulation model (MPS-DF) to simulate inundation and sediment deposition of debris flows is presented. This model is based on the moving particles semi-implicit (MPS) method, which was originally used for incompressible viscous fluid flows with free surfaces. In the MPS-DF model, the constitutive equations of Egashira is introduced to the MPS method. In Egashira’s theory, debris flows are treated as a continuum and sand grains are expressed using sediment concentration. Thus, each particle has a variable sediment concentration value. In this study, we tested the applicability of the MPS-DF model for the formation process of alluvial fans. For this purpose, flume experiment was conducted. The experimental flume consisted of a straight channel 6.0m long and 0.1m wide, with an inclination of 15°, connected to an outflow plain. The inclination of the outflow plain decreased gradually from 12° to 3°. At the straight channel, 5.0m long erodible bed with a thickness of 0.2m was present. Water was supplied from upper end for 60 s. at the rate of 3,000 cm3/s and debris flow was generated by entraining the erodible bed. Debris flow inundated and deposited sediment at the outflow plain and an alluvial fan was formed. Numerical simulations were also performed with the MPS-DF as well as a depth-integrated method based on the shallow water equations (2D simulation). 2D Simulation results of alluvial fan shape and flooding area were laterally spread and significantly different from those of experiment. The results of the MPS-DF were more similar to experimental results. Natural channels and lateral levees were formed as well as experiment. However, the alluvial fan shape of MPS-DF was slightly wider than that created during the experiment. This is thought to be due to the behavior of pore water of deposied layer, such as the seepage of water out of the deposited layer once the deposition process has been completed.

description: Librarians providing data services for researchers and learners in the social sciences should be offering data support and management services to qualitative researchers as well as quantitative ones. But, is this the case in practice? Do social sciences data services librarians devote their primary attention to quantitative researchers to the detriment of qualitative researchers? Is qualitative research the Jan Brady of social sciences data services? This presentation will present findings from: (1) a content analysis of IASSIST job repository postings from 2005-2014, gauging their requirements/responsibilities regarding qualitative data services; (2) a content analysis of the social sciences data services professional literature from 2005 forward, gleaning the discussion of qualitative data services, and (3) a survey of social sciences data services librarians, exploring the extent of qualitative data and research support they presently provide at their academic institutions and their thoughts regarding the relevance of qualitative data and research for the future of data support services.
Stellar Properties of the Host Galaxy of an Ultraluminous X-ray Source in NGC 5252

description: An ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in NGC 5252 has been known as a strong candidate for an off-nuclear intermediate-mass black hole. We present near-infrared imaging data of the ULX obtained with the William Herschel Telescope. Using this data we estimate a stellar mass associated with the ULX of $\approx 10^{7.9\pm0.1}M_{\rm \odot}$ , suggesting that it could be (the remnant of) a dwarf galaxy that is in the process of merging with NGC 5252. Based on a correlation between the mass of the central black hole (BH) and host galaxy, the ULX is powered by a $10^5M_{\rm \odot}$ black hole. Alternatively, if the BH mass is $\approx 10^6M_{\rm \odot}$ or larger, the host galaxy of the ULX must have been heavily stripped during the merger. The ULX $K_s$-band luminosity is two orders of magnitude smaller than that expected from an ordinary active galactic nucleus with the observed [O III] luminosity, which also suggests the ULX lacks a dusty torus. We discuss how these findings provide suggestive evidence that the ULX is hosting an intermediate-mass black hole.
