description: The current prominence and future promises of the Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Everything (IoE) and Internet of Nano Things (IoNT) are extensively reviewed and a summary survey report is presented. The analysis clearly distinguishes between IoT and IoE which are wrongly considered to be the same by many people. Upon examining the current advancement in the fields of IoT, IoE and IoNT, the paper presents scenarios for the possible future expansion of their applications.

description: We consider a nonlinear, nonhomogeneous Robin problem with an indefinite potential and a nonsmooth primitive in the reaction term. In fact, the right-hand side of the problem (reaction term) is the Clarke subdifferential of a locally Lipschitz integrand. We assume that asymptotically this term is resonant with respect the principal eigenvalue (from the left). We prove the existence of three nontrivial smooth solutions, two of constant sign and the third nodal. We also show the existence of extremal constant sign solutions. The tools come from nonsmooth critical point theory and from global optimization (direct method).

description: The Schmidt number of a mixed state characterizes the minimum Schmidt rank of the pure states needed to construct it. We investigate the Schmidt number of an arbitrary mixed state by constructing a Schmidt number witness that detects it. We present a canonical form of such witnesses and provide constructive methods for their optimization. Finally, we present strong evidence that all bound entangled states with positive partial transpose in two qutrit systems have Schmidt number 2.

description: Deep-learning has proved in recent years to be a powerful tool for image analysis and is now widely used to segment both 2D and 3D medical images. Deep-learning segmentation frameworks rely not only on the choice of network architecture but also on the choice of loss function. When the segmentation process targets rare observations, a severe class imbalance is likely to occur between candidate labels, thus resulting in sub-optimal performance. In order to mitigate this issue, strategies such as the weighted cross-entropy function, the sensitivity function or the Dice loss function, have been proposed. In this work, we investigate the behavior of these loss functions and their sensitivity to learning rate tuning in the presence of different rates of label imbalance across 2D and 3D segmentation tasks. We also propose to use the class re-balancing properties of the Generalized Dice overlap, a known metric for segmentation assessment, as a robust and accurate deep-learning loss function for unbalanced tasks.

description: We report the detection of CO(1 - 0) line emission from seven Planck and Herschel selected hyper luminous (LIR(8-1000um) > 10^13Lsun) infrared galaxies with the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). CO(1 - 0) measurements are a vital tool to trace the bulk molecular gas mass across all redshifts. Our results place tight constraints on the total gas content of these most apparently luminous high-z star-forming galaxies (apparent IR luminosities of LIR > 10^(13-14) Lsun), while we confirm their predetermined redshifts measured using the Large Millimeter Telescope, LMT (zCO = 1.33 - 3.26). The CO(1 - 0) lines show similar profiles as compared to Jup = 2 -4 transitions previously observed with the LMT. We report enhanced infrared to CO line luminosity ratios of = 110 (pm 22) Lsun(K km s^-1 pc^-2)^-1 compared to normal star-forming galaxies, yet similar to those of well-studied IR-luminous galaxies at high-z. We find average brightness temperature ratios of = 0.93 (2 sources), = 0.34 (5 sources), and = 0.18 (1 source). The r31 and r41 values are roughly half the average values for SMGs. We estimate the total gas mass content as uMH2 = (0.9 - 27.2) x 10^11(alphaCO/0.8)Msun, where u is the magnification factor and alphaCO is the CO line luminosity to molecular hydrogen gas mass conversion factor. The rapid gas depletion times are, on average, tau = 80 Myr, which reveal vigorous starburst activity, and contrast the Gyr depletion timescales observed in local, normal star-forming galaxies.

description: Purpose: Elevated hearing thresholds from high frequencies are known to be one of the hallmarks of age-related hearing loss. Our recent study showed accumulation of manganese (Mn) in inner ears resulting in acceleration of age-related hearing loss in mice orally exposed to Mn. However, there is no evidence showing an association between Mn in non-invasive biological samples and hearing loss in humans evaluated by pure tone audiometry (PTA). In this study, we evaluated Mn in non-invasive biological samples as a possible biomarker for hearing loss in humans. Materials and methods: We determined hearing levels by PTA and Mn levels in toenails, hair and urine with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) in 145 healthy subjects in Bangladesh. Results: Multivariable analyses showed that Mn levels in toenails, but not in hair and urine samples, were significantly associated with hearing loss at 8 kHz and 12 kHz. Moreover, our experimental study showed a significant correlation between Mn levels in inner ears and nails, but not hair, in mice orally exposed to Mn. Conclusions: The results provide novel evidence that Mn in toenails is a possible biomarker for hearing loss at high frequencies in humans.

description: We examine certain nonassociative deformations of quantum mechanics and gravity in three dimensions related to the dynamics of electrons in uniform distributions of magnetic charge. We describe a quantitative framework for nonassociative quantum mechanics in this setting, which exhibits new effects compared to ordinary quantum mechanics with sourceless magnetic fields, and the extent to which these theoretical consequences may be experimentally testable. We relate this theory to noncommutative Jordanian quantum mechanics, and show that its underlying algebra can be obtained as a contraction of the alternative algebra of octonions. The uncontracted octonion algebra conjecturally describes a nonassociative deformation of three-dimensional quantum gravity induced by magnetic monopoles, which we propose is realised by a non-geometric Kaluza-Klein monopole background in M-theory.

 NEW STATE RECORD
 In 2009, stems of Hoya imperialis var. rauchii from Keaau, Hawaii, were found to be infested with pit scales. Specimens were then identified by D.R. Miller as Planchonia stentae (Brain), the South African pit scale. Following this 2009 verification, previously unidentified specimens (Waimea, 2007) were found in HDOA’s reference collection, reexamined, and consequently identified as P. stentae. This species has now been collected on Hawaii, Maui, and Oahu.
This South African pit scale, also known as the Euphorbia pit scale, has been recorded in California and Florida, where it has become a major pest of at least 49 introduced and native plant species (Stumph and Lambdin 2000). This species can severely weaken small and young plants, causing major stem deformation, especially at apical tips.

description: A novel neodymium(III) complex containing tungstogermanate and 5-fluorouracil, K11(C4H4FN2O2)2Nd(GeW11O39)2·15H2O (FNdGeW), was synthesized and its structure was characterized by 1H NMR, IR, XRD, and TG-DSC. The results indicated that FNdGeW had Keggin structure of hetereopolyanion and structure of 5-fluorouracil. The thermal analysis showed that FNdGeW decomposed at 255.3 °C. MTT tests were performed to study the anticancer activities against SGC-7901 and HepG2 cells. The results showed that FNdGeW and FGeW possessed higher anticancer activities than 5-fluorouracil. FNdGeW exhibited the highest anticancer activities against SGC-7901 cells (IC50 = 0.79 μmol•L-1) and HepG2 cells (IC50 = 0.37 μmol•L-1).

description: Electrical resistivity, magnetization and specific heat have been measured for single crystals of SmPt$_{2}$Cd$_{20}$. It has been found that SmPt$_{2}$Cd$_{20}$ exhibits a ferromagnetic (FM) transition at $T_{\rm C} = 0.64$ K, the lowest among cubic compounds. Specific heat divided by temperature increases with decreasing temperature even below $T_{\rm C}$ and attains 4.5 J/mol K$^{2}$ at 0.26 K, implying substantial magnetic quantum fluctuations. An analysis of the magnetic entropy suggests the crystalline-electric-field splitting of the Sm $J = 5/2$ multiplet with a $Γ_{7}$ doublet ground state and a $Γ_8$ quartet excited state (the excitation energy of $\sim30$ K). The electrical resistivity shows a power-law behavior with $T^{0.74}$ below 2 K without showing any noticeable anomaly at $T_{\rm C}$. SmPt$_{2}$Cd$_{20}$ is regarded as a rare cubic system that is located in the vicinity of a FM quantum critical point.

description: We investigate self-similar dynamical processes in an isothermal self-gravitational fluid with spherical symmetry. In reference to earlier complementary solution results of Larson, Penston, Shu, Hunter and Whitworth & Summers, we further explore the `semi-complete solution space' from an initial instant $t\to 0^{+}$ to a final stage $t\to +\infty$. These similarity solutions can describe and accommodate physical processes of radial inflow, core collapse, oscillations and envelope expansion (namely, outflow or wind) or contraction as well as shocks. In particular, we present new classes of self-similar solutions, referred to as `envelope expansion with core collapse' (EECC) solutions, that are featured by an interior core collapse and an exterior envelope expansion concurrently. The interior collapse towards the central core approaches a free-fall state as the radius $r\to 0$, while the exterior envelope expansion gradually approaches a constant radial flow speed as $r\to +\infty$. There exists at least one spherical stagnation surface of zero flow speed that separates the core collapse and the envelope outflow and that travels outward at constant speed, either subsonically or supersonically, in a self-similar manner.

description: We introduce the extended Freudenthal-Rosenfeld-Tits magic square based on six algebras: the reals $\mathbb{R}$, complexes $\mathbb{C}$, ternions $\mathbb{T}$, quaternions $\mathbb{H}$, sextonions $\mathbb{S}$ and octonions $\mathbb{O}$. The ternionic and sextonionic rows/columns of the magic square yield non-reductive Lie algebras, including $\mathfrak{e}_{7\scriptscriptstyle{\frac{1}{2}}}$. It is demonstrated that the algebras of the extended magic square appear quite naturally as the symmetries of supergravity Lagrangians. The sextonionic row (for appropriate choices of real forms) gives the non-compact global symmetries of the Lagrangian for the $D=3$ maximal $\mathcal{N}=16$, magic $\mathcal{N}=4$ and magic non-supersymmetric theories, obtained by dimensionally reducing the $D=4$ parent theories on a circle, with the graviphoton left undualised. In particular, the extremal intermediate non-reductive Lie algebra $\tilde{\mathfrak{e}}_{7(7)\scriptscriptstyle{\frac{1}{2}}}$ (which is not a subalgebra of $\mathfrak{e}_{8(8)}$) is the non-compact global symmetry algebra of $D=3$, $\mathcal{N}=16$ supergravity as obtained by dimensionally reducing $D=4$, $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity with $\mathfrak{e}_{7(7)}$ symmetry on a circle. The ternionic row (for appropriate choices of real forms) gives the non-compact global symmetries of the Lagrangian for the $D=4$ maximal $\mathcal{N}=8$, magic $\mathcal{N}=2$ and magic non-supersymmetric theories obtained by dimensionally reducing the parent $D=5$ theories on a circle. In particular, the Kantor-Koecher-Tits intermediate non-reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak{e}_{6(6)\scriptscriptstyle{\frac{1}{4}}}$ is the non-compact global symmetry algebra of $D=4$, $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity as obtained by dimensionally reducing $D=5$, $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity with $\mathfrak{e}_{6(6)}$ symmetry on a circle.

 NEW STATE RECORD
 Draeculacephala portola Ball was reported from Hawaii in 1959 by Young and Davidson (1959), however, according to Napompeth and Nishida (1974) this was in error. In 1992, Christopher H. Dietrich (Formerly USDA-ARS-SEL, now University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) who published a revision of the genus Draeculacephala, examined Hawaiian specimens. All Hawaii specimens were of D. californica, D. inscripta, and D. minerva, reinforcing the previous misidentification record. The 2012 collection represents a new state record for D. portola.

description: Results of optical and NIR spectral and photometric observations of a sample of candidate double-barred galaxies are presented. Velocity fields and velocity dispersion maps of stars and ionized gas, continuum and emission-line images were constructed from integral-field spectroscopy observations carried out at the 6m telescope (BTA) of SAO RAS, with the MPFS spectrograph and the scanning Fabry-Perot Interferometer. NGC2681 was also observed with the long-slit spectrograph of the BTA. Optical and NIR images were obtained at the BTA and at the 2.1m telescope (OAN, México). High-resolution images were retrieved from the HST data archive. Morphological and kinematic features of all 13 sample objects are described in detail. Attention is focused on the interpretation of observed non-circular motions of gas and stars in circumnuclear (one kiloparsec- scale) regions. We have shown first of all that these motions are caused by the gravitational potential of a large-scale bar. NGC3368 and NGC3786 have nuclear bars only, their isophotal twist at larger radii being connected with the bright spiral arms. Three cases of inner polar disks in our sample (NGC2681, NGC3368 and NGC5850) are considered. We found ionized-gas counter-rotation in the central kiloparsec of the lenticular galaxy NGC3945. Seven galaxies (NGC470, NGC2273, NGC2681, NGC3945, NGC5566, NGC5905, and NGC6951) have inner mini-disks nested in large-scale bars. Minispiral structures occur often in these nuclear disks. It is interesting that the majority of the observed, morphological and kinematical, features in the sample galaxies can be explained without the secondary bar hypothesis. Thus we suggest that a dynamically independent secondary bar is a rarer phenomenon than follows from isophotal analysis of the images only.

description: One of the goals of the COMPASS experiment is the precision study of light-meson spectroscopy with data for various final states. With $46\times10^6$ exclusive events, the process $π^- p\toπ^-π^+π^- p$ constitutes the flagship channel. Based on this data set, the results of an extensive partial-wave analysis (PWA), using a total of 88 partial waves in the model, were published. Along with it, results of a first study of the so-called freed-isobar method were shown. Here, the fixed amplitudes for appearing $π^+π^-$ intermediate states used in the conventional analysis were replaced by sets of piecewise constant functions to extract the amplitudes of the $π^+π^-$ subsystems directly from the data. In this first study, this was one for three $π$ partial waves with $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ intermediate $π^+π^-$ states. The promising results inspired further extension of this method, by also freeing intermediate $π^+π^-$ states with $J^{PC} = 1^{--}$ and $2^{++}$. With this extension of the set of freed waves, mathematical ambiguities in the model arise due to the much higher flexibility of the model. We will present first results of these extended studies on COMPASS data along with methods to resolve the arising ambiguities.

description: We consider a spin chain extending from Alice to Bob with next neighbors interactions, initially in its ground state. Assuming that Bob measures the last spin of the chain, the energy of the spin chain has to increase, at least on average, due to the measurement disturbance. Presumably, the energy is provided by Bob's measurement apparatus. Assuming now that, simultaneously to Bob's measurement, Alice measures the first spin, we show that either energy is not conserved, - implausible - or the projection postulate doesn't apply, and that there is signalling. An explicit measurement model shows that energy is conserved (as expected), but that the spin chain energy increase is not provided by the measurement apparatus(es), that the projection postulate is not always valid - illustrating the Wigner-Araki-Yanase (WAY) theorem - and that there is signalling, indeed. The signalling is due to the non-local interaction Hamiltonian. This raises the question of a suitable quantum information inspired model of such non-local Hamiltonians.

description: Introduction: The blood glucose point-of-care testing (POCT) system is important in the decision-making process involving patients suspected of having hypoglycemia. Area covered: To investigate the real world of the POCT system being used in teaching hospitals in China. Methods: The survey was conducted by Hisend Research Group from May 2015 to July 2015 in four teaching hospitals in China. The survey questions were referred to the ISO 15197:2013 standard requirements for the use of the POCT system in a hospital setting. Results: A total of 170 subjects were included from 4 hospitals, which included nursing staff, nurse unit managers, employees from the department of medical instruments, and staff members employed by the clinical laboratories in the Tianjin Metabolism Hospital, Nanjing First Hospital, First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, and the First hospital affiliated with the Xi’an Transportation University. The average score for the four hospitals surveyed in this study was 66.6, which varied from 46.1 to 79.7. The main factors influencing the scores were the multiple choices of blood-glucose meters, and the quality control assessment. Conclusions: Our data indicates that the real world use of the POCT system in hospital settings in China needs more closer adherence to a quality management framework.

description: Maartens {\it et al.}\@ gave a covariant characterization, in a 1+3 formalism based on a perfect fluid's velocity, of the parts of the first derivatives of the curvature tensor in general relativity which are ``locally free'', i.e. not pointwise determined by the fluid energy momentum and its derivative. The full decomposition of independent curvature derivative components given in earlier work on the spinor approach to the equivalence problem enables analogous general results to be stated for any order: the independent matter terms can also be characterized. Explicit relations between the two sets of results are obtained. The 24 Maartens {\it et al.} locally free data are shown to correspond to the $\nabla Ψ$ quantities in the spinor approach, and the fluid terms are similarly related to the remaining 16 independent quantities in the first derivatives of the curvature.

description: One of the significant obstacles to obtaining quality education is corruption. It serves as a factor that hinders the possibility of self-realization of talented young people, demotivates young people in personal growth, cultivates corruption ideology, discredits the value of education, creates distrust in society in the legal order of the state [1, p. 4]. This becomes even more relevant when applicants for higher education are future law enforcement officers - cadets, students of universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine with specific training conditions, who are trained in the conditions of armed aggression of the Russian Federation.Two completely different aspects of combating corruption in universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine can be identified:Aspect №1. To provide the employees of the universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as the MIA of Ukraine) with conditions that make honest and impeccable work more profitable than bribery and extortion. It is assumed that at first an employee of a universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine receives a fairly modest salary, but with the time of his honest work, more and more new material incentives appear. For example, the salary (financial support) is increased, there is the right to receive an interest-free loan for housing, leasing, a decent pension after retirement.Aspect No. 2. Application of harsh punitive measures. An employee of a universities of the MIA of Ukraine, who knows that in the worst case he will receive a year of probation, and in most cases he will be able to simply be dismissed from his position, to pay off, sees bribery as a very attractive way to enrich himself.It can be argued that there is an urgent need to create a decisive systemic action to create a special atmosphere of rejection of corruption, the atmosphere of rejection of the very essence of the manifestations of such a phenomenon in departmental education, especially in wartime.

description: Hexagonal (Gd0.95RE0.05)PO4·nH2O nanowires ~300 nm in length and ~10 nm in diameter have been converted from (Gd0.95RE0.05)2(OH)5NO3·nH2O nanosheets (RE = Eu, Tb) in the presence of monoammonium phosphate (NH4H2PO4) and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). They were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared and photoluminescence spectroscopies. It is shown that EDTA played an essential role in the morphology development of the nanowires. The hydrothermal products obtained up to 180 °C are of a pure hexagonal phase, while monoclinic phosphate evolved as an impurity at 200 °C. The nanowires undergo hexagonal→monoclinic phase transformation upon calcination at ≥600 °C to yield a pure monoclinic phase at ~900 °C. The effects of calcination on morphology, excitation/emission, and fluorescence decay kinetics were investigated in detail with (Gd0.95Eu0.05)PO4 as example. The abnormally strong 5D0→7F4 electric dipole Eu3+ emission in the hexagonal phosphates was ascribed to site distortion. The process of energy migration was also discussed for the optically active Gd3+ and Eu3+/Tb3+ ions.

description: We derive water vapor column abundances and aerosol properties from Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) ChemCam passive mode observations of scattered sky light. Each ChemCam passive sky observation acquires spectra at two different elevation angles. We fit these spectra with a discrete-ordinates multiple scattering radiative transfer model, using the correlated-k approximation for gas absorption bands. The retrieval proceeds by first fitting the continuum of the ratio of the two elevation angles to solve for aerosol properties, and then fitting the continuum-removed ratio to solve for gas abundances. The final step of the retrieval makes use of the observed CO2 absorptions and the known CO2 abundance to correct the retrieved water vapor abundance for the effects of the vertical distribution of scattering aerosols and to derive an aerosol scale height parameter. The ChemCam-retrieved water abundances show, with only a few exceptions, the same seasonal behavior and the same timing of seasonal minima and maxima as the TES, CRISM, and REMS-H data sets that we compare them to. However ChemCam-retrieved water abundances are generally lower than zonal and regional scale from-orbit water vapor data, while at the same time being significantly larger than pre-dawn REMS-H abundances. Pending further analysis of REMS-H volume mixing ratio uncertainties, the differences between ChemCam and REMS-H pre-dawn mixing ratios appear to be much too large to be explained by large scale circulations and thus they tend to support the hypothesis of substantial diurnal interactions of water vapor with the surface. Our preliminary aerosol results, meanwhile, show the expected seasonal pattern in dust particle size but also indicate a surprising inter-annual increase in water-ice cloud opacities.

description: Three-dimensional numerical simulations with CO5BOLD, a new radiation hydrodynamics code, result in a dynamic, thermally bifurcated model of the non-magnetic chromosphere of the quiet Sun. The 3-D model includes the middle and low chromosphere, the photosphere, and the top of the convection zone, where acoustic waves are excited by convective motions. While the waves propagate upwards, they steepen into shocks, dissipate, and deposit their mechanical energy as heat in the chromosphere. Our numerical simulations show for the first time a complex 3-D structure of the chromospheric layers, formed by the interaction of shock waves. Horizontal temperature cross-sections of the model chromosphere exhibit a network of hot filaments and enclosed cool regions. The horizontal pattern evolves on short time-scales of the order of typically 20 - 25 seconds, and has spatial scales comparable to those of the underlying granulation. The resulting thermal bifurcation, i.e., the co-existence of cold and hot regions, provides temperatures high enough to produce the observed chromospheric UV emission and -- at the same time -- temperatures cold enough to allow the formation of molecules (e.g., carbon monoxide). Our 3-D model corroborates the finding by Carlsson & Stein (1994) that the chromospheric temperature rise of semi-empirical models does not necessarily imply an increase in the average gas temperature but can be explained by the presence of substantial spatial and temporal temperature inhomogeneities.

Hydrodynamic interactions in dense active suspensions: from polar order to dynamical clusters

description: We study the role of hydrodynamic interactions in the collective behaviour of collections of microscopic active particles suspended in a fluid. We introduce a novel calculational framework that allows us to separate the different contributions to their collective dynamics from hydrodynamic interactions on different length scales. Hence we are able to systematically show that lubrication forces when the particles are very close to each other play as important a role as long-range hydrodynamic interactions in determining their many-body behaviour. We find that motility-induced phase separation is suppressed by near-field interactions, leading to open gel-like clusters rather than dense clusters. Interestingly, we find a globally polar ordered phase appears for neutral swimmers with no force dipole that is enhanced by near field lubrication forces in which the collision process rather than long-range interaction dominates the alignment mechanism.

description: Repeated use of the same areas may benefit animals as they exploit familiar sites, leading to consistent home ranges over time that can span generations. Changing risk landscapes may reduce benefits associated with home range fidelity, however, and philopatric animals may alter movement in response to new pressures. Despite the importance of range changes to ecological and evolutionary processes, little tracking data have been collected over the long-term nor has range change been recorded in response to human pressures across generations. Here, we investigate the relationships between ecological, demographic and human variables and elephant ranging behaviour across generations using 16 years of tracking data from nine distinct female social groups in a population of elephants in northern Kenya that was heavily affected by ivory poaching during the latter half of the study. Nearly all groups—including those that did not experience loss of mature adults—exhibited a shift north over time, apparently in response to increased poaching in the southern extent of the study area. However, loss of mature adults appeared to be the primary indicator of range shifts and expansions, as generational turnover was a significant predictor of range size increases and range centroid shifts. Range expansions and northward shifts were associated with higher primary productivity and lower poached carcass densities, while westward shifts exhibited a trend to areas with higher values of primary productivity and higher poached carcass densities relative to former ranges. Together these results suggest a tradeoff between resource access, mobility and safety. We discuss the relevance of these results to elephant conservation efforts and directions meriting further exploration in this disrupted society of a keystone species.

description: POD--Galerkin reduced-order models (ROMs) for fluid-structure interaction problems (incompressible fluid and thin structure) are proposed in this paper. Both the high-fidelity and reduced-order methods are based on a Chorin-Temam operator-splitting approach. Two different reduced-order methods are proposed, which differ on velocity continuity condition, imposed weakly or strongly, respectively. The resulting ROMs are tested and compared on a representative haemodynamics test case characterized by wave propagation, in order to assess the capabilities of the proposed strategies.

Mode-sum regularization of the scalar self-force: Formulation in terms of a tetrad decomposition of the singular field

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We examine the motion in Schwarzschild spacetime of a point particle endowed with a scalar charge. The particle produces a retarded scalar field which interacts with the particle and influences its motion via the action of a self-force. We exploit the spherical symmetry of the Schwarzschild spacetime and decompose the scalar field in spherical-harmonic modes. Although each mode is bounded at the position of the particle, a mode-sum evaluation of the self-force requires regularization because the sum does not converge: the retarded field is infinite at the position of the particle. The regularization procedure involves the computation of regularization parameters, which are obtained from a mode decomposition of the Detweiler-Whiting singular field; these are subtracted from the modes of the retarded field, and the result is a mode-sum that converges to the actual self-force. We present such a computation in this paper. There are two main aspects of our work that are new. First, we define the regularization parameters as scalar quantities by referring them to a tetrad decomposition of the singular field. Second, we calculate four sets of regularization parameters (denoted schematically by A, B, C, and D) instead of the usual three (A, B, and C). As proof of principle that our methods are reliable, we calculate the self-force acting on a scalar charge in circular motion around a Schwarzschild black hole, and compare our answers with those recorded in the literature.

 NEW STATE RECORD
 Heavily infested samples of what was called “akulikuli” by the collector, were brought to the attention of UH-CTAHR, and further handed on to HDOA for identification. A tentative identification and further confirmation by G.A. Evans concluded that this was the ice plant scale, Pulvinariella mesembryanthemi (Vallot). After some confusion of the initial plant from which it was collected, it was discovered that the host was actually Lampranthus roseus, mini ice plant, and not one of the native akulikuli species (Sesuvium portulacastrum). Within several months, Maui and Oahu infestations were also detected, suggesting that P. mesembryanthemi has been present in Hawaii for some time. Interestingly, an infestation detected in Kona was found in the Kona International Airport’s landscaping, while the Oahu infestation was also found near the Honolulu International Airport, in the Mapunapuna roadside landscaped areas. It is highly likely that the iceplant scale was spread via nursery stock used for these landscaped areas.
 Recorded host plants of the ice plant scale include Carpobrotus spp., Disphyma spp., Mesembryanthemum spp. (Aizoaceae); Atriplex vesicaria and Lampranthus spp. (Chenopodiaceae) (García Morales et al. 2016). In addition, according to Qin and Gullan (1992), S. portulacastrum is a possible host plant in Australia.
