description: This deliverable offers an exploration of how co-creation and participatory methods shape Open Science, particularly in the context of the IANUS project. Aimed at both researchers and general audiences interested in science’s role within society, it brings together multiple perspectives on Open Science’s potential to make research more inclusive, transparent, and responsive to public needs. Using the 'window' metaphor, we illustrate Open Science as a two-way process, where the public can gain insight into research practices, and researchers can see and respond to societal needs. The conclusions in this handout stem from research (via a content analysis, observations and workshops) carried out in the IANUS project’s work package on Strengthening Co-Creation.

description: Saciperere Huber & Carvalho gen. n.
Type species. Saciperere catuaba sp. n.
Etymology. The genus is named for Saci-Pererê, a character in Brazilian folklore, known to disappear and reappear wherever he wishes, as an allusion to the disrupted geographical distribution of the hard-to-find type species; gender masculine.
Diagnosis/Description. See diagnosis and description of single known species below.
Notes. The recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Eberle et al. 2018) placed this genus/species as sister to the genera Waunana Huber, 2000 + Pisaboa Huber, 2000, with reasonable support. The three genera share (1) a distinct ventral apophysis distally on the male palpal femur (a possibly plesiomorphic character also present in several other Modisiminae genera, i.e. Tupigea Huber, 2000; Psilochorus Simon, 1893; Anopsicus Chamberlin & Ivie, 1938, Modisimus Simon, 1893); (2) vertical hairs in higher than usual density on male femora and tibia or tibiae only (also widespread in Modisiminae); (3) a relatively long and slender procursus. Saciperere and Pisaboa also share the general morphology of the female internal genitalia (elongate pore plates in lateral position and membranous ‘receptacle’ originating from ‘valve’ area). The species below is not assigned to Pisaboa because it lacks the distinctive hinged apophyses on the male chelicerae characteristic of Pisaboa and has instead an equally distinctive armature of the male chelicerae (see diagnosis below).

description: In this paper, we demonstrate that, by employing OpenPulse design kit for IBM superconducting quantum devices, the controlled-V gate (CV gate) can be implemented in about half the gate time to the controlled-X (CX or CNOT gate) and consequently 65.5\% reduced gate time compared to the CX-based implementation of CV. Then, based on the theory of Cartan decomposition, we characterize the set of all two-qubit gates implemented with only two or three CV gates; using pulse-engineered CV gates enables us to implement these gates with shorter gate time and possibly better gate fidelity than the CX-based one, as actually demonstrated in two examples. Moreover, we showcase the improvement of linearly-coupled three-qubit Toffoli gate, by implementing it with the pulse-engineered CV gate, both in gate time and the averaged output-state fidelity. These results imply the importance of our CV gate implementation technique, which, as an additional option for the basis gate set design, may shorten the overall computation time and consequently improve the precision of several quantum algorithms executed on a real device.

On Quasi-integrable Deformation Scheme of The KdV System

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We put forward a general approach to quasi-deform the KdV equation by deforming the corresponding Hamiltonian. Following the standard Abelianization process based on the inherent $sl(2)$ loop algebra, an infinite number of anomalous conservation laws are obtained, which yield conserved charges if the deformed solution has definite space-time parity. Judicious choice of the deformed Hamiltonian leads to an integrable system with scaled parameters as well as to a hierarchy of deformed systems, some of which possibly being quasi-integrable. As a particular case, one such deformed KdV system maps to the known quasi-NLS soliton in the already known weak-coupling limit, whereas a generic scaling of the KdV amplitude $u \to u^{1+ε}$ also goes to possible quasi-integrability under an order-by-order expansion. Following a generic parity analysis of the deformed system, these deformed KdV solutions need to be parity-even for quasi-conservation which may be the case here following our analytical approach. From the established quasi-integrability of RLW and mRLW systems [Nucl. Phys. B 939 (2019) 49-94], which are particular cases of the present approach, exact solitons of the quasi-KdV system could be obtained numerically.

However the complete formulation has been changed, all the calculations and outcomes are new.

Psilochorus Simon, 1893: 482; type species by original designation: Theridion pullulum Hentz, 1850.
Psilochorus — Gertsch 1971: 72. Huber 1998: 595, fig. 10. Slowik 2009: 3.
Notes. With the transfer of the New Guinean species Psilochorus nigromaculatus Kulczyński, 1911 to Arnapa gen. n. (see above), Psilochorus is finally a pure New World genus. However, Psilochorus continues to be among the very few pholcid genera with autochthonous representatives in both North and South America. The type species is North American; North American taxa have been revised and diagnosed recently (Slowik 2009) but that study excluded the rich Mexican fauna. The generic assignment of South American representatives has long been doubted (Huber 1998). The recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Eberle et al. 2018) recovered North American and South American clades but did neither support nor contradict a sister group relationship between them. Morphological data are equally ambiguous with respect to the sister groups of the two clades. Consequently, there is currently no clear justification for splitting the genus.
Seven nominal species from South America are currently assigned to Psilochorus. Of these, the identity of five is dubious: P. sectus Mello-Leitão, 1939; P. taperae Mello-Leitão, 1929; P. bruneocyaneus Mello-Leitão, 1941; P. marcuzii Caporiacco, 1955; P. minimus Schmidt, 1956. Of the other two species (P. itaguyrussu Huber et al., 2005 and P. ybytyriguara Huber et al., 2005) only the males are known. They were assigned to Psilochorus based on the striking similarity of the male pedipalps, but the cladistic analysis of morphological data did not convincingly support this solution (Huber et al. 2005).
The recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Eberle et al. 2018) included three South American species tentatively assigned to Psilochorus: P. itaguyrussu and two undescribed species. Of the latter, one is known from females only and thus not formally described here (its female genitalia are shown in Figs 252–254). The second is represented by both males and females and formally described below. Numerous further species are known to exist in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil (Fig. 348). We suspect that this clade is in fact restricted to the Atlantic Forest and that most or all of the five dubious South American species above are misplaced.

description: This work considers the economic dispatch problem for a single micro-gas turbine, governed by a discrete state-space model, under combined heat and power (CHP) operation and coupled with a utility. If the exact power and heat demands are given, existing algorithms can be used to give a quick optimal solution to the economic dispatch problem. However, in practice, the power and heat demands can not be known deterministically, but are rather predicted, resulting in an estimate and a bound on the estimation error. We consider the case in which the power and heat demands are unknown, and present a robust optimization-based approach for scheduling the turbine's heat and power generation, in which the demand is assumed to be inside an uncertainty set. We consider two different choices of the uncertainty set relying on the $\ell^\infty$- and the $\ell^1$-norms, each with different advantages, and consider the associated robust economic dispatch problems. We recast these as robust shortest-path problems on appropriately defined graphs. For the first choice, we provide an exact linear-time algorithm for the solution of the robust shortest-path problem, and for the second, we provide an exact quadratic-time algorithm and an approximate linear-time algorithm. The efficiency and usefulness of the algorithms are demonstrated using a detailed case study that employs real data on energy demand profiles and electricity tariffs.

Adelopsis bellatrix; Gnaspini, 1996: 539 (unjustified emendation—‘bellator’ is a noun, not an adjective) (holotype and paratypes seen).
Type material examined: Holotype male and 13 paratypes (males and females) in ZMHB (Gnaspini, 1996: 541). Labels: “ Peru, Dep Cuzco / Cajon, Bergland / 1500m / Garlepp S.V. / XII.1900 ”. Paratypes with same data except for different dates, between XI.1900 and I.1901 (Szymczakowski, 1968: 18 refers to 15 paratypes). One paratype male (XII.1900 —aedeagus confers with that of holotype) and one female (I.1901) here illustrated.
Length: 2.2 mm (holotype) and 1.95–2.35 mm (paratypes) (original description; which confers with our measurement of the holotype examined); 2.0– 2.4 mm (males and females) (our measurement).
Type locality: Bergland, Cajon, Cuzco Department, Peru.
Short Redescription. Eyes normal (Fig. 111). Winged. (It seems to have) No posterior projections on male ventrites. Apex of the right lobe of the aedeagus subquadrate with the apical margin curved outward, and densely covered with short setae ventrally (Figs. 108, 109), thin, almost pointy, in lateral view (Fig. 107). Flagellum shorter (about 1/ 4 in length) than aedeagus and with seemingly bifid apex (Fig. 108). Proportion aedeagus/elytron = 0.27. Anterior sides of spiculum gastrale of the genital segment widening towards the apex, resulting in a pawn-shaped spiculum gastrale, with the apical width about twice as wide as the rounded base (Fig. 110). Spermatheca with 1-turn placed close to the spermatheca base, followed by a long, seemingly twisted body ending in a sharp curve before the elongate apical bulb (Fig. 112). Proportion spermatheca/elytron = 0.10.
Distribution. Peru: Cuzco Department (original description; here).
Taxonomic Remarks. This species can be easily recognized by its aedeagus, which is straight (unique in the genus), and with the ventral face of the right lobe thoroughly covered with short setae (Fig. 109); the apical margin of the right lobe is rounded, also differently from other species in the group. In A. longipalpus Gnaspini and Peck, 2001, from Colombia, the body of the aedeagus is also straight, but the tip is curved ventrad.

description: In this work, we study how the authorship of code affects bug-fixing commits using the SStuBs dataset, a collection of single-statement bug fix changes in popular Java Maven projects. More specifically, we study the differences in characteristics between simple bug fixes by the original author -- that is, the developer who submitted the bug-inducing commit -- and by different developers (i.e., non-authors). Our study shows that nearly half (i.e., 44.3%) of simple bugs are fixed by a different developer. We found that bug fixes by the original author and by different developers differed qualitatively and quantitatively. We observed that bug-fixing time by authors is much shorter than that of other developers. We also found that bug-fixing commits by authors tended to be larger in size and scope, and address multiple issues, whereas bug-fixing commits by other developers tended to be smaller and more focused on the bug itself. Future research can further study the different patterns in bug-fixing and create more tailored tools based on the developer's needs.

description: General Relativity and the $Λ$CDM framework are currently the standard lore and constitute the concordance paradigm. Nevertheless, long-standing open theoretical issues, as well as possible new observational ones arising from the explosive development of cosmology the last two decades, offer the motivation and lead a large amount of research to be devoted in constructing various extensions and modifications. All extended theories and scenarios are first examined under the light of theoretical consistency, and then are applied to various geometrical backgrounds, such as the cosmological and the spherical symmetric ones. Their predictions at both the background and perturbation levels, and concerning cosmology at early, intermediate and late times, are then confronted with the huge amount of observational data that astrophysics and cosmology are able to offer recently. Theories, scenarios and models that successfully and efficiently pass the above steps are classified as viable and are candidates for the description of Nature. This work is a Review of the recent developments in the fields of gravity and cosmology, presenting the state of the art, high-lighting the open problems, and outlining the directions of future research. Its realization was performed in the framework of the COST European Action ``Cosmology and Astrophysics Network for Theoretical Advances and Training Actions''.

(Figs. 128–136)
Adelopsis insolitus Szymczakowski, 1961: 144 [and Figs. 8–10]; Salgado, 2005: 963.
Adelopsis insolita; Gnaspini, 1996: 539 (holotype seen; spelling corrected to feminine gender); Salgado, 2005: 971 [and Fig. 20], 2010: 213 (assignment to group).
Type material examined: Holotype male in NHRS (Gnaspini, 1996: 541). Labels: “Sta Catharina / Nova Teutonia / Brasil. /5.1938 / Fr. Plaumann ”. Specimen here illustrated.
Length: 2.0 mm (original description); 2.05 mm (our measurement).
Type locality: Nova Teutônia, Santa Catarina State, Brazil.
Short Redescription. Eyes seem slightly reduced (Fig. 133). Winged [differing from original description, as apterous]. Arm of the right lobe of the aedeagus elongate, with apex bent internally (Fig. 131). Proportion aedeagus/ elytron = 0.40, considerably large in comparison with other species in the genus. Spiculum gastrale of the genital segment with a very short and wide base, with an almost straight margin, and divided at apex, with long branches (Fig. 132). Male mesotibia regularly curved internally (Fig. 135). Female unknown.
Distribution. Brazil: Santa Catarina State: known only from vicinity of type locality (original description; Salgado, 2005; here).
Taxonomic Remarks. The lateral view of the aedeagus (Fig. 130, with a prolonged projection, also seen in Fig. 10 in Szymczakowski, 1961), together with the frontal view of the tip of the right lobe of the aedeagus (Fig. 131), seems to help in the recognition of this species, as well as a slightly reduced eye. Although our figures of the aedeagus are somewhat confusing because we did not add many details, we understand they are still useful for species recognition.

description: Stack Overflow provides a means for developers to exchange knowledge. While much previous research on Stack Overflow has focused on questions and answers (Q&A), recent work has shown that discussions in comments also contain rich information. On Stack Overflow, discussions through comments and chat rooms can be tied to questions or answers. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study that focuses on the nature of question discussions. We observe that: (1) Question discussions occur at all phases of the Q&A process, with most beginning before the first answer is received. (2) Both askers and answerers actively participate in question discussions; the likelihood of their participation increases as the number of comments increases. (3) There is a strong correlation between the number of question comments and the question answering time (i.e., more discussed questions receive answers more slowly); also, questions with a small number of comments are likely to be answered more quickly than questions with no discussion. Our findings suggest that question discussions contain a rich trove of data that is integral to the Q&A processes on Stack Overflow. We further suggest how future research can leverage the information in question discussions, along with the commonly studied Q&A information.

CHELICERAE. As in Fig. 274, with pair of simple pointed apophyses distally and pair of transparent processes proximally.
PALPS. As in Figs 272–273; coxa unmodified, trochanter with ventral apophysis, femur moderately widened, larger than tibia; procursus slender, with distinctive retrolateral process and sclerotized and membranous distal elements; bulb with cylindrical embolus, without further process.
LEGS. Without spines and curved hairs, few vertical hairs; retrolateral trichobothrium of tibia 1 at 3.5%; tibia 1 without prolateral trichobothrium; tarsus 1 pseudosegments not seen.
Female. Unknown
Distribution. Known from type locality only (Fig. 349).
Natural history. The male was collected from the underside of a green leaf in a degraded forest (Fig. 341).

description: Parameterized Quantum Circuits (PQC) are promising towards quantum advantage on near-term quantum hardware. However, due to the large quantum noises (errors), the performance of PQC models has a severe degradation on real quantum devices. Take Quantum Neural Network (QNN) as an example, the accuracy gap between noise-free simulation and noisy results on IBMQ-Yorktown for MNIST-4 classification is over 60%. Existing noise mitigation methods are general ones without leveraging unique characteristics of PQC; on the other hand, existing PQC work does not consider noise effect. To this end, we present QuantumNAT, a PQC-specific framework to perform noise-aware optimizations in both training and inference stages to improve robustness. We experimentally observe that the effect of quantum noise to PQC measurement outcome is a linear map from noise-free outcome with a scaling and a shift factor. Motivated by that, we propose post-measurement normalization to mitigate the feature distribution differences between noise-free and noisy scenarios. Furthermore, to improve the robustness against noise, we propose noise injection to the training process by inserting quantum error gates to PQC according to realistic noise models of quantum hardware. Finally, post-measurement quantization is introduced to quantize the measurement outcomes to discrete values, achieving the denoising effect. Extensive experiments on 8 classification tasks using 6 quantum devices demonstrate that QuantumNAT improves accuracy by up to 43%, and achieves over 94% 2-class, 80% 4-class, and 34% 10-class classification accuracy measured on real quantum computers. The code for construction and noise-aware training of PQC is available in the TorchQuantum library.
