Two macronuclear nodules with a single micronucleus in between. Contractile vacuole subterminal; sometimes an additional vacuole in anterior body third. Extrusomes rod-like and slightly curved, about 6 µm long, attached along whole length of oral bulge and to posterior body end. Somatic ciliary pattern Litonotus -like; 5–8 right and 5–6 left kineties.
Distribution. This species was reported from the benthos of the Hron River tributaries (Tirjaková 1998); from the benthos of the Stupavský potok brook (Tirjaková 2003b); from sediment in the littoral zone of the upper Váh River near the village of Stankovany (Tirjaková & Vďačný 2013a).

description: Considering two accelerated observers with same acceleration in two timelike wedges of Rindler frame we calculate the Feynman-{\it like} propagators for a real scalar field in a thermal bath with respect to the Minkowski vacuum. Only the same wedge correlators are symmetric under the exchange of the {\it real} thermal bath and Unruh thermal bath, while the cross-wedge ones are not. Interestingly, they contain a cross term which is a collective effects of acceleration and thermal nature of field. Particularly the zero temperature description along with {\it no analytic continuation} between coordinates in right and left Rindler wedges, as expected, corresponds to usual thermofield-double formalism. However, unlike in later formulation, the two fields are now parts of the original system. Moreover it bears the features of a spacial case of closed-time formalism (CTP) where the Keldysh contour is along the increasing Rindler time in the respective Rindler wedges. Interestingly, we observe a new feature that the analytic continuation between the wedges provides the two more spacial cases of CTP. Hence Rindler-frame-field theory seems to be a viable candidate to deal thermal theory of fields and may illuminate the search for a bridge between the usual existing formalisms.

description: This investigation aimed to find out the effects of metacognitive awareness of senior high school students’ reading comprehension in English of Medina College Science High School during the school year 2018 – 2019. The descriptive survey method was used in answering the major problems and its corollary sub-problems. The proficiency levels of the male students on the metacognitive skills were found to be average in noting details in pictures, following printed directions, and getting the meaning of the paragraph. It was also found out that female students obtained above average on the following reading comprehension skills such as noting details in pictures, getting the meaning of phrases, following printed directions, getting the meaning of sentences, getting the meaning of paragraphs, and sequence events as they happen. There is a significant difference between the male and the female students’ proficiency level in metacognitive skills along noting details in pictures, getting the words, following printed directions, getting the meaning of sentence, getting the meaning of paragraph, noting details in the selection, and sequencing events as they happen in the story. The male students’ proficiency level was only average while the female students showed above average proficiency. The significant relationship between the metacognitive skills proficiency level and the scholastic performance profile of the Grade 11 and Grade 12 students should be examined carefully by the teachers so that relevant provisions could be introduced for upgrading the students’ proficiency levels on reading comprehension skills which would help improve and enrich students’ scholastic performance profiles.
Investigation of the friction behavior of uni- and bidirectional non-crimp fabrics

description: The friction behavior of engineering textiles directly affects the forming quality during composite molding processes. In forming tests of dry engineering textiles large relative slip between plies and the tools is observed. The resulting tangential contact stresses influence the material’s membrane stresses, which in turn impact the fabric’s deformation and potentially lead to forming defects such as gapping or ruptures of the textile. The characterization of friction is commonly conducted via relative motion between a fabric ply and either another fabric ply (ply-ply) or a tool (tool-ply) under controlled transverse pressure. The resulting behavior of a textile reinforcement depends on the mesoscopic structure of its unit cell and the material of its constituents. In this work, the tangential friction behavior at interfaces between ply and tooling and between plies of a unidirectional and a bidirectional non-crimp fabric are investigated in sled pull-over-tests. The behavior is analyzed with respect to the applied normal forces, the relative velocity and the relative fiber orientation. A generally rate-independent behavior is observed. Tool-ply friction is only slightly affected by the applied pressure, while ply-ply friction is strongly influenced by the stitching pattern at the contact interface.

description: We show experimentally that a broad class of interactions involving quantum harmonic oscillators can be made stronger (amplified) using a unitary squeezing protocol. While our demonstration uses the motional and spin states of a single trapped $^{25}$Mg$^{+}$ ion, the scheme applies generally to Hamiltonians involving just a single harmonic oscillator as well as Hamiltonians coupling the oscillator to another quantum degree of freedom such as a qubit, covering a large range of systems of interest in quantum information and metrology applications. Importantly, the protocol does not require knowledge of the parameters of the Hamiltonian to be amplified, nor does it require a well-defined phase relationship between the squeezing interaction and the rest of the system dynamics, making it potentially useful in instances where certain aspects of a signal or interaction may be unknown or uncontrolled.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising candidates for spintronic applications. Maintaining their atomically smooth interfaces during integration of ferromagnetic (FM) electrodes is crucial since conventional metal deposition tends to induce defects at the interfaces. Meanwhile, the difficulties in picking up FM metals with strong adhesion and in achieving conductance match between FM electrodes and spin transport channels make it challenging to fabricate high-quality 2D spintronic devices using metal transfer techniques. Here, we report a solvent-free magnetic electrode transfer technique that employs a graphene layer to assist in the transfer of FM metals. It also serves as part of the FM electrode after transfer for optimizing spin injection, which enables the realization of spin valves with excellent performance based on various 2D materials. In addition to two-terminal devices, we demonstrate that the technique is applicable for four-terminal spin valves with nonlocal geometry. Our results provide a promising future of realizing 2D spintronic applications using the developed magnetic electrode transfer technique.

description: We consider the Dirac equations in static spherically-symmetric space-times, and we present a type of spinor field whose structure allows the separation of elevation angle and radial coordinate in very general situations. We demonstrate that after such a separation of variables the Dirac equations reduce to two equations that can always be integrated, at least in principle. To prove that ours is a fully-working method, we find an explicit exact solution in the special case of the de Sitter universe.

description: We study the photophysics of molecular aggregates from a quantum optics perspective, with emphasis on deriving scaling laws for the fast non-radiative relaxation of collective electronic excitations, referred to as Kasha's rule. Aggregates exhibit an energetically broad manifold of collective states with delocalized electronic excitations originating from near field dipole-dipole exchanges between neighboring monomers. Photo-excitation at optical wavelengths, much larger than the monomer-monomer average separation, addresses almost exclusively symmetric collective states, which for an arrangement known as H-aggregate, show an upward hypsochromic shift. The extremely fast subsequent non-radiative relaxation via intramolecular vibrational modes populates lower energy, subradiant states, resulting in an effective inhibition of fluorescence. Our analytical treatment allows for the derivation of an approximate scaling law of this relaxation process, linear in the number of available low energy vibrational modes and directly proportional to the dipole-dipole interaction strength between neighbouring monomers.

Euprosthenops; Platnick 2014.
Type species. Euprosthenops schenkeli Roewer, 1955, designated by Blandin, 1974: 946.
Diagnosis. The representatives of Euprosthenops Pocock, 1897 resemble those of Euprosthenopsis Blandin, 1974 in the following characters: foraging in webs (Fig. 1), anterior eye row extremely procurved (all eyes forming almost three rows) (Figs 5, 6) and anterior lateral eyes on strongly projected tubercles (Figs 5, 6). The two genera can be differentiated by the spider's position in the web; Euprosthenops moves under the web (Fig. 1) and Euprosthenopsis moves on the surface of the sheet web (Fig. 2). The male palpus of Euprosthenops possesses a large and wide distal tegular apophysis (DTA) (Figs 9-15) and a finger-like retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA) (Figs 10, 12, 13, 17), males of Euprosthenopsis have a short and rounded distal tegular apophysis (DTA, Figs 27, 32) and a wide and concave retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA, Figs 28, 34). Females of Euprosthenops resemble those of Euprosthenopsis by the presence of conspicuous lateral lobes (LL) and by the scape-like projection of the middle field (MF) (Blandin 1974: 938, figs 4 A, B). They can be distinguished from Euprosthenopsis by the short spermathecae and by the very large and flattened copulatory ducts (CD) (Blandin 1974: 939, fig. 5 A).
Distribution. Africa (Fig. 22).

description: Folk games and their associated tools serve as a window into the rich tapestry of human culture, revealing intricate connections between play, socialization, and the transmission of traditions. This article explores the concept of folk games, examining their historical context, cultural significance, and the diverse array of game tools utilized across different societies. By analyzing various folkloric practices and their implications on community bonding and childhood development, this paper aims to underscore the relevance of folk games in contemporary society and their potential role in fostering social cohesion. Methodologies including ethnographic studies and comparative analysis of regional practices are employed to illustrate the multifaceted nature of folk games. This discourse ultimately posits that folk games are not merely recreational activities but vital components of cultural heritage and identity.

Litonotus obtusus — Tirjaková 1997a: 16; Tirjaková & Stloukal 2004: 17.
Main morphological characters (according to Kahl 1931). Body lanceolate with broadly rounded posterior body end; left side vaulted and without median rib. Contractile vacuole dorsal and distinctly subterminal. Nuclear apparatus, extrusomes and ciliary pattern not described; possibly as in Li. carinatus.

An implicit, conservative electrostatic particle-in-cell algorithm for paraxial magnetic nozzles

description: An electrostatic, implicit particle-in-cell (PIC) model for collisionless, fully magnetized, paraxial plasma expansions in a magnetic nozzle is introduced with exact charge, energy, and magnetic moment conservation properties. The approach is adaptive in configuration space by the use of mapped meshes, and exploits the strict conservation of the magnetic moment to reduce the dimensionality of velocity space. A new particle integrator is implemented, which allows for particle substepping without the need to stop particle motion at every cell for charge conservation. Particle suborbits are determined from accuracy considerations, and are allowed to span multiple cells. Novel particle injection and expansion-to-infinity boundary conditions are developed, including a control loop to prevent the formation of spurious sheaths at the edges of the domain. The algorithm is verified in a periodic magnetic mirror configuration, a uniform plasma test case (to test particle injection), and a propulsive magnetic nozzle. The algorithm's computational complexity is shown to scale favorably with timestep, and linearly with the number of particles and mesh cells (unlike earlier implicit PIC implementations, which scaled quadratically with the number of mesh cells in one dimension). Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms both explicit PIC and semi-Lagrangian Vlasov codes by more than an order of magnitude.
