(Figg. 24 e 111-113)
Materiale tipico:
Holotypus ♂, China: Shaanxi, Nanwutaishan, 4.IV.2003, leg. G. de Rougemont (IRSNB).
Paratypi: 5 es. stessa provenienza.
Descrizione:
Lunghezza 2,5 mm. Corpo lucido e bruno, pronoto e margine posteriore dei quattro uroterghi liberi basali bruno-rossicci, antenne brune con i due antennomeri basali e base del terzo giallorossicci, zampe giallo-rossicce. Secondo antennomero più lungo del primo, terzo più corto del secondo, quarto più lungo che largo, quinto a decimo trasversi. Occhi più corti delle tempie. Reticolazione del corpo assente. Granulosità del corpo fitta, fine e saliente. Addome con pubescenza sericea fitta e aderente. Edeago figg. 111-112, spermateca 113.
Comparazioni:
Il profilo ventrale dell’edeago bisinuato e la forma della spermateca permettono di comparare la nuova specie a O. hsingicola Pace, 1999 del Gansu. Se ne distingue per l’apice dell’edeago stretto, in visione ventrale, e non largo come in hsingicola. L’introflessione apicale del bulbo distale della spermateca è profonda nella nuova specie, appena sporgente in hsingicola. Il quarto antennomero della nuova specie è più lungo che largo, lungo quanto largo in hsingicola.
Etimologia:
La nuova specie prende nome dal toponimo Nanwutaishan.

Alonchoptera

description: Alonchoptera, new genus
DIAGNOSIS: Distinguished from all living and extinct lonchopterids by the very broad, nonlanceolate wing (width 0.60× length); vein C with very long spinules, R 4+5 ending slightly beyond wing apex; arista situated apically on flagellomere I; setae on dorsum of head and thorax very long and fine; setation of head most similar to that of Lonchopterites (also in Lebanese amber).
TYPE SPECIES: A. lebanica, new species.
ETYMOLOGY: A -, from the Greek, “without,” or “devoid of,” and stem base from the only genus of Lonchopteridae, Lonchoptera (“spear winged”); in reference to the broadly rounded (versus lanceolate) wing shape.
COMMENTS: Despite the broad wing with a rounded (vs. pointed) apex, numerous features indicate a close relationship of this genus with Lonchopteridae. These features include: long costal spinules, short R 1, loss of crossvein dm-cu, short cell cup; no anal lobe or alula; long setae on the head and thorax; two pairs of scutellar setae, with the apical pair upright and cruciate. Unfortunately, the presence of interfrontals (normally located just above the antennae) and long cheek setae cannot be confirmed since fractures obscure these portions of the head.

description: Manufacturing in the United States contributes a significant amount of money to its economy. Simultaneously, it consumes nearly one-third of the total energy produced within the nation. Computer-aided technologies have been developed to aid in streamlining the development of products created within the sector. Despite this, energy-efficiency processes are largely ignored by technologies developed by third-party vendors, within the subtractive manufacturing industry. Such benightedness sparked research into the development of mechanistic and data-driven models that attempt to accurately predict energy consumption. Unfortunately, the models largely fail to reflect the processes for which they are supposedly suitable due to poor experimental validation. The variables monitored within the literature are lacking and neglect to account for the inherent complexity of the processes. A model needs to be developed which properly accounts for the complexities associated with CNC machining. The variables such a model employs must account for variations in operations observed during manufacturing, as supplied via the process. The research conducted herein explores the development of an energy-predicting deep-learning model built upon data from data collected during complex CNC machining. Specifically, the model makes predictions by accepting supplemented numerically controlled programs and processing instructions sequentially, via a recurrent neural network layer. Four variants of the model are created to provide insights into the inclusion of supplementary information. Namely, the comparison of monitored material removal variables. The variables are depth of cut, width of cut, material removal rate, and the volume of material removed per NC instruction.

description: Self-service machines are a form of pseudo-automation; rather than actually automate tasks, they offset them to unpaid customers. Typically implemented for customer convenience and to reduce labor costs, self-service is often criticized for worsening customer service and increasing loss and theft for retailers. Though millions of frontline service workers continue to interact with these technologies on a day-to-day basis, little is known about how these machines change the nature of frontline labor. Through interviews with current and former cashiers who work with self-checkout technologies, we investigate how technology that offsets labor from an employee to a customer can reconfigure frontline work. We find three changes to cashiering tasks as a result of self-checkout: (1) Working at self-checkout involved parallel demands from multiple customers, (2) self-checkout work was more problem-oriented (including monitoring and policing customers), and (3) traditional checkout began to become more demanding as easier transactions were filtered to self-checkout. As their interactions with customers became more focused on problem solving and rule enforcement, cashiers were often positioned as adversaries to customers at self-checkout. To cope with perceived adversarialism, cashiers engaged in a form of relational patchwork, using techniques like scapegoating the self-checkout machine and providing excessive customer service in order to maintain positive customer interactions in the face of potential conflict. Our findings highlight how even under pseudo-automation, workers must engage in relational work to manage and mend negative human-to-human interactions so that machines can be properly implemented in context.

description: This study assessed the customers’ satisfaction at Balanga-Olongapo Transport Services in Balanga City, Bataan to sustain and continually improve the customer satisfaction and quality service to the community. The study utilized purposive sampling with a 537 customer-respondents in the transport terminals. A descriptive research design was used in this study to establish the difference between profile variables, travelling information, customers’ satisfaction and quality service. Independent t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to test the hypotheses. Results showed that there is a significant difference between all the variables of the dimension of the customer satisfaction and quality service at Balanga-Olongapo Transport Services. The customers’ satisfaction dimensions: reliability, assurance, tangibility, empathy and responsiveness established strong differences with the quality service. The rating given by the respondents on the customers’ satisfaction rendered at Balanga-Olongapo Transport Services and the quality service is very satisfactory. Finally, the policy and practical implications of the study findings to improve bus service performance. This paper also proposes an enhancement plan for sustaining customer satisfaction of Balanga-Olongapo Transport Services.

description: Dementia is a condition mainly affecting older people. Non-modifiable risk factors include age and genetic factors; however, lifelong, modifiable -and largely behavioural- risk factors may be associated with cognitive function and dementia risk (1). Changes in these risk factors may occur during a person’s life course. There has been much interest in fish consumption in relation to dementia(2) as well as cardiovascular disease risk(3), suggesting a potential biological pathway for omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA). Fish intake has been below SACN recommendations in the UK(4); whereas cod liver oil (CLO) is the most popular supplement consumed and contributes 50 % to over- all n-3 PUFA intake(5) . We studied cross-sectional as well as prospective associations between n-3 PUFA containing supplements and per- formance on cognitive tests in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer, based in Norfolk (UK). ....

(Figs 90–95, 226)
Ischyrothrips obscurus Schmutz, 1913: 1074–1076.
E. obscurus is originally described from Ceylon (= Sri Lanka) under the genus Ischyrothrips and has five junior synonyms (Mound & Palmer 1983). It has somewhat wide distribution range, such as Congo, Sri Lanka, India and Cuba, and is here recorded from Indonesia and Thailand for the first time. Mirab-Balou et al. (2011) mentioned that this species is recorded from Taiwan by Chen (1982), but practically no such record is found in that publication. There is a possibility that they have confused E. indicus (Bagnall) with Dichaetothrips indicus Ananthakrishnan, because Diceratothrips usitatus Ananthakrishnan & Jagadish, the replacement name for D. indicus, was synonymised with this species. Subsequently, Dang et al. (2013) also recorded this species from China (Taiwan), and this was probably based on Mirab-Balou et al. Wang et al. (2019) did not include E. obscurus in the faunal study of Idolothripinae from Taiwan, and we have also not seen it from Taiwan. Furthermore, curiously, Dang et al. (2013) mentioned in their text five Ethirothrips species from Taiwan, such as E. brevis, E. chui, E. indicus, E. obscurus and E. virgulae, but E. brevis, E. indicus and E. obscurus were not included in their check-list.
E. obscurus can be discriminated from its congeners by a combination of the pale antennal segments III and IV (Fig. 92), long postocellar setae, clear fore wings, and the narrow lateral wings of trilobed pelta (Fig. 94).

description: We show factorization formulas for a class of partition functions of rational six vertex model. First we show factorization formulas for partition functions under triangular boundary. Further, by combining the factorization formulas with the explicit forms of the generalized domain wall boundary partition functions by Belliard-Pimenta-Slavnov, we derive factorization formulas for partition functions under trapezoid boundary which can be viewed as a generalization of triangular boundary. We also discuss an application to emptiness formation probabilities under trapezoid boundary which admit determinant representations.

description: We investigate a large ensemble of Quadratic Integrate-and-Fire (QIF) neurons with heterogeneous input currents and adaptation variables. Our analysis reveals that for a specific class of adaptation, termed quadratic spike-frequency adaptation (QSFA), the high-dimensional system can be exactly reduced to a low-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations, which describes the dynamics of three mean-field variables: the population's firing rate, the mean membrane potential, and a mean adaptation variable. The resulting low-dimensional firing rate equations (FRE) uncover a key generic feature of heterogeneous networks with spike frequency adaptation: Both the center and the width of the distribution of the neurons' firing frequencies are reduced, and this largely promotes the emergence of collective synchronization in the network. Our findings are further supported by the bifurcation analysis of the FRE, which accurately captures the collective dynamics of the spiking neuron network, including phenomena such as collective oscillations, bursting, and macroscopic chaos.

description: Quadratic Gravity supplements the Einstein-Hilbert action by terms quadratic in the spacetime curvature. This leads to a rich phase space of static, compact gravitating objects including the Schwarzschild black hole, wormholes, and naked singularities. For the first time, we study the collapse of a spherically symmetric star with uniform dust density in this setting. We assume that the interior geometry respects the symmetries of the matter configuration, i.e., homogeneity and isotropy, thus it is insensitive to the Weyl-squared term and the interior dynamics is fully determined by $R$ and $R^2$. As our main result, we find that the collapse leads to the formation of a horizon, implying that the endpoint of a uniform dust collapse with a homogeneous and isotropic interior is not a horizonless spacetime. We also show that the curvature-squared contribution is responsible for making the collapse into a singularity faster than the standard Oppenheimer-Snyder scenario. Furthermore, the junction conditions connecting spacetime inside and outside the matter distribution are found to be significantly more constraining than their counterparts in General Relativity and we discuss key properties of any exterior solution matching to the spacetime inside the collapsing star. Finally, we comment on the potentially non-generic behavior entailed by our assumptions.

description: In this paper, we propose a generative model in the space of diffeomorphic deformation maps. More precisely, we utilize the Kantarovich-Wasserstein metric and accompanying geometry to represent an image as a deformation from templates. Moreover, we incorporate a probabilistic viewpoint by assuming that each image is locally generated from a reference image. We capture the local structure by modelling the tangent planes at reference images. %; we assume that each image is generated from one of finite number of tangent planes. % by an unobserved discrete random variable that indexes the tangent plane the image belongs to. Once basis vectors for each tangent plane are learned via probabilistic PCA, we can sample a local coordinate, that can be inverted back to image space exactly. With experiments using 4 different datasets, we show that the generative tangent plane model in the optimal transport (OT) manifold can be learned with small numbers of images and can be used to create infinitely many `unseen' images. In addition, the Bayesian classification accompanied with the probabilist modeling of the tangent planes shows improved accuracy over that done in the image space. Combining the results of our experiments supports our claim that certain datasets can be better represented with the Kantarovich-Wasserstein metric. We envision that the proposed method could be a practical solution to learning and representing data that is generated with templates in situatons where only limited numbers of data points are available.
