Pachycerus efflatouni

description: PACHYCERUS EFFLATOUNI (TEWFIK, 1942)
 Cleonus (Pachycerus) Efflatouni Tewfik, 1942: 171.
 Holotype (not found): Yemen, Wadi Sharis [15°41′N, 43°35′E].
 Type: This species was based on a single specimen labelled ‘ Wadi Sharis (Yemen), 16– 21.7.1936 ’ (Tewfik, 1942: 174). Tewfik was the Curator of the Entomological Collections of the Faculty of Science, Fuad I University, Cairo, Egypt, and in the original description it was stated that the holotype was deposited in this collection. However, notwithstanding a long search in all of the collections of the institute, my colleague Mahmoud Abdel-Dayem (Fouad I University, Cairo, Egypt) was not able to find it.
 Discussion: No other specimen referable to this species was cited after the description, and the only other Pachycerus examined from the Arabian Peninsula belongs to P. hippali sp. nov., a completely different taxon. Hence, the true identity of P. efflatouni remains uncertain. The original description is relatively good, although it particularizes nonspecific traits, which are sometimes even typical of the entire family or subfamily, and are thus devoid of any significant value in the characterization of this species. The text and the schematic drawings of the body suggest that this species belongs to the P. badeni group. It is 12-mm long (probably including the rostrum), and is characterized by four black round spots on the elytra, two on the base and two on the declivity, behind the apex of interval 5, forming a distinctive pattern; it should have simple scales on the elytra and have bifid to multifid scales on the rostrum. Refer to Tewfik (1942) for the complete description: a detailed comparative discussion between the original description of P. efflatouni and the characters of P. sahelicus sp. nov. is given in the description of the latter species. The original drawings are reproduced here in Figure 70.

Adaptive sampling-based quadrature rules for efficient Bayesian prediction

description: A novel method is proposed to infer Bayesian predictions of computationally expensive models. The method is based on the construction of quadrature rules, which are well-suited for approximating the weighted integrals occurring in Bayesian prediction. The novel idea is to construct a sequence of nested quadrature rules with positive weights that converge to a quadrature rule that is weighted with respect to the posterior. The quadrature rules are constructed using a proposal distribution that is determined by means of nearest neighbor interpolation of all available evaluations of the posterior. It is demonstrated both theoretically and numerically that this approach yields accurate estimates of the integrals involved in Bayesian prediction. The applicability of the approach for a fluid dynamics test case is demonstrated by inferring accurate predictions of the transonic flow over the RAE2822 airfoil with a small number of model evaluations. Here, the closure coefficients of the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model are considered to be uncertain and are calibrated using wind tunnel measurements.

description: Children develop the ability to perceive symmetry very early in life; symmetry is abundant in the world around us, and it is a naturally occurring theme in children’s play and creative endeavors. Symmetry is a type of pattern structure and organization of visual information that has been found by psychologists to aid adults in the processing and recall of visual information. Symmetry plays an important role across branches of mathematics and at all levels, and it provides a link between mathematics and a variety of fields and areas of study. Despite this, symmetry does not figure prominently in early childhood mathematics curriculum in the United States. The purpose of this study is to develop, implement, and evaluate a computer program that expands young children’s innate perception and understanding of symmetry and its subtopics—reflection, translation, and rotation.
      	Eighty-six first and second grade children were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: nine sessions using the symmetry computer program designed for this study, or nine sessions using a non-geometry-related computer program. Results showed that children assigned to the experimental condition were better able to identify symmetry subtypes, accurately complete translation tasks and symmetry tasks overall, and explain symmetric transformations. These findings suggest that children are capable of learning about symmetry and its subtypes, and the symmetry software program designed for this study has the potential to improve children’s understanding of symmetry beyond what is currently taught in the early elementary mathematics curriculum. Recommendations for other researchers, educators, and future research are discussed

description: Unravelling the Mystery is a qualitative case study that examines the teacher researcher's reflection-in-action as she teaches using process drama. The teacher-researcher taught a class of Year Seven students for a school year. She worked with the students using process drama from 2-5 hours per week. All sessions were recorded and transcribed as part of the reflective practice research. They were then examined to study how the teacher might use reflection-in-action. The data is written as a series of vignettes. The vignettes are used to illustrate reflection-in-action and as a basis for discussion and analysis. In the thesis the data from five of these sessions is presented as vignettes-these vignettes illustrating the teacher's reflection-in-action process. The analysis focuses on the reflection-in-action for the teacher. The vignettes and accompanying analysis for the basis for an illustrative model of the scope of the teacher' reflection-in-action as she works using process drama. The study addresses the following questions: · How might reflective practice inform my teaching? · How can I as a researcher describe and document my reflection-in-action when working as a teacher in process drama? · What is the scope of my reflection-in-action when working as the teacher in process drama? · How might an increased understanding of reflection-in-action be useful to teachers of process drama? These questions are considered in light of the analysis and literature review. The study concludes that reflective practice is valuable to enable teachers to develop their practice. It recommends that this type of research is beneficial to both develop models of practice and to improve the practice of individual practitioners.

description: We study how a high-speed solar wind stream embedded in a slow solar wind influences the spread of solar energetic protons in interplanetary space. To model the energetic protons, we used a recently developed particle transport code that computes particle distributions in the heliosphere by solving the focused transport equation in a stochastic manner. The particles are propagated in a solar wind containing a CIR, which was generated by the heliospheric magnetohydrodynamic model, EUHFORIA. We study four cases in which we assume a delta injection of 4 MeV protons spread uniformly over different regions at the inner boundary of the model. These source regions have the same size and shape, yet are shifted in longitude from each other, and are therefore magnetically connected to different solar wind conditions. The intensity and anisotropy profiles along selected IMF lines vary strongly according to the different solar wind conditions encountered along the field line. The IMF lines crossing the shocks bounding the CIR show the formation of accelerated particle populations, with the reverse shock wave being a more efficient accelerator than the forward shock wave. Moreover, we demonstrate that the longitudinal width of the particle intensity distribution can increase, decrease, or remain constant with heliographic radial distance, reflecting the underlying IMF structure. Finally, we show how the deflection of the IMF at the shock waves and the compression of the IMF in the CIR deforms the three-dimensional shape of the particle distribution in such a way that the original shape of the injection profile is lost.

description: In sub-Saharan Africa, people face significant crime problems. This also applies to rural areas, where mainly livestock and crops are stolen. Using the routine activity approach, this article analyzes the experiences of rural people with property crime, the consequences of victimization and how they react to it. It is based on focus group discussions that were held in Tanzania in spring 2022 with male and female farmers from six villages. The findings reveal that thefts can be explained by certain opportunity structures, in particular the availability of suitable targets and the lack of guardianship. For example, small animals are suitable targets because they are accessible, valuable and easy to transport and hide. Guardianship over livestock and crops is reduced at night, when people are sleeping, and during the day, when villagers are in their often remote fields. In seasonal terms, crime incidents are especially high during rainy and harvesting seasons. It is clear from the villagers’ reports that food security and sustainable development are at risk as farmers reduce or abandon animal husbandry or switch to growing less vulnerable crops for fear of theft. The findings also show that target suitability and guardianship can vary over time and that some responses to crime have an influence on both components, thus determining the likelihood of repeated victimization.

description: Incomplete pairwise comparison matrices offer a natural way of expressing preferences in decision making processes. Although ordinal information is crucial, there is a bias in the literature: cardinal models dominate. Ordinal models usually yield non-unique solutions; therefore, an approach blending ordinal and cardinal information is needed. In this work, we consider two cascading problems: first, we compute ordinal preferences, maximizing an index that combines ordinal and cardinal information; then, we obtain a cardinal ranking by enforcing ordinal constraints. Notably, we provide a sufficient condition (that is likely to be satisfied in practical cases) for the first problem to admit a unique solution and we develop a provably polynomial-time algorithm to compute it. The effectiveness of the proposed method is analyzed and compared with respect to other approaches and criteria at the state of the art.

description: This paper generalizes the definition of a Heegaard splitting to unify Scharlemann and Thomspon's concept of thin position for 3-manifolds, Gabai's thin position for knots, and Rubinstein's almost normal surface theory. This gives generalizations of theorems of Scharlemann, Thompson, Rubinstein, and Stocking. In the final section, we use this machinery to produce an algorithm to determine the bridge number of a knot, provided thin position for the knot coincides with bridge position. We also present several finiteness and algorithmic results about Dehn fillings with "small" Heegaard genus.

description: The mobility of scientists between different universities and countries is important to foster knowledge exchange. At the same time, the potential mobility is restricted by geographic and institutional constraints, which leads to temporal correlations in the career trajectories of scientists. To quantify this effect, we extract 3.5 million career trajectories of scientists from two large scale bibliographic data sets and analyze them applying a novel method of higher-order networks. We study the effect of temporal correlations at three different levels of aggregation, universities, cities and countries. We find strong evidence for such correlations for the top 100 universities, i.e. scientists move likely between specific institutions. These correlations also exist at the level of countries, but cannot be found for cities. Our results allow to draw conclusions about the institutional path dependence of scientific careers and the efficiency of mobility programs.

description: We prove the genus zero part of the generalized Witten conjecture relating moduli spaces of spin curves to Gelfand-Dickey hierarchies. That is, we show that intersection numbers on the moduli space of stable r-spin curves assemble into a generating function which yields a solution of the semiclassical limit of the KdV_r equations. We formulate axioms for a cohomology class on this moduli space which allow one to construct a cohomological field theory of rank $r-1$ in all genera. In genus zero it produces a Frobenius manifold which is isomorphic to the Frobenius manifold structure on the base of the versal deformation of the A_{r-1} singularity. We prove analogs of the puncture, dilaton, and topological recursion relations by drawing an analogy with the construction of Gromov-Witten invariants and quantum cohomology.

description: We investigate the stationary bipartite entanglement is a useful hybrid optomechanical system, which is constituted of two coupled-cavity optomechanics through a photon hopping process and both are driven by squeezed light. The transfer of correlations from an entangled light source to optomechanical cavities is explored. It is found that the generation of bipartite entanglement and entanglement transfer depend strongly on photon hopping strength and the matching of the input squeezed modes to the cavity modes. It is revealed that the generated stationary bipartite entanglement due to squeezed light that drives the cavities is robust against the thermal fluctuations. The fidelity of a coherent state of the optical modes is explored and it is shown that it offered interesting conditions on the stability of the system, which is the same for entanglement generation.

Among the possible applications of this new product, we use it in order to write the minkowskian Dirac equation over the euclidean spacetime and to define a new duality operation in terms of which one can find self-dual and anti-self-dual solutions of gauge fields over Minkowski spacetime analogous to the ones over Euclidean spacetime and without needing to complexify the original real algebra.

description: Natural soundscape quality (NSQ) has been recognized as an essential cultural ecosystem service that contributes significantly to human health and well-being. It also stands as an indispensable component of environmental quality, especially for landscape aesthetic quality. However, an assessment tool for NSQ in landscape planning and environmental impact assessments is still absent. Therefore, this paper aims to address this gap by proposing an indicator-based model for assessing and quantifying NSQ in the Geographic Information System. The model characterizes NSQ based on Calmness and Vibrancy, and employs several indicators, sub-indicators, and respective metrics as proxies to quantify and map them spatially. The evaluation criteria of the model correspond to the general public's preferences for soundscape features. The case study results in Springe municipality, Germany, show that the relative values of NSQ are high in green spaces, including forests, grasslands, and shrublands, whereas they are low in open farmlands. The multiple natural sounds yield higher NSQ scores than the individual ones. The same soundscape compositions in forests and in urban parks exhibit higher NSQ scores than in other land cover types. In addition, the shares of relative values show similar distribution patterns among Calmness, Vibrancy, and NSQ according to land cover types and soundscape compositions. The evaluation results align with public values and preferences for soundscape features. Unlike subjectivist approaches, our user-independent methodology is easily transferable and reproducible. The results are comparable and communicable among the assessed areas. These endow the indicator-based model with the potential to be applied at various planning and management scales. The findings can help to incorporate soundscape evaluation into landscape planning and management systems, supporting sustainable landscape development, and providing valuable information for policy-, plan- and decision-making.

description: PARASIRO COIFFAITI JUBERTHIE, 1956 (FIG. 2)
 Parasiro coiffaiti was described based on an unspecified series of specimens collected by M. H. Coiffait in the Pyrénées-Orientales (France) and Girona Province (Spain) (Juberthie, 1956). The species is endemic to the north-east Iberian Peninsula (provinces of Girona and Barcelona) and south-east of France (Pyrénées-Orientales) (Juberthie, 1957, 1958; Rambla, 1974, 1986), with a relatively broad distribution. Parasiro coiffaiti is found on the slopes of the Eastern Pyrenees, Montnegre, Montseny (a mountain range west of the coastal hills north of Barcelona), and Collserola (the mountain that delimits the city of Barcelona in the west) (Rambla, 1974, 1986; Rambla & Fontarnau, 1985). It preferentially inhabits argillaceous soils or slate, and has also been found in two caves in Tavertet (Osona) and Parc Natural de Sant Llorenç del Munt i Serra de l’Obac (Rambla, 1986). The type material (five males and two females), deposited at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (MNHN), is supposedly from the Girona Province (Catalonia, Spain), but we were unable to locate the labelled locality ‘Porto de Santigoso’ in Girona, and rather than Catalan, the locality name looks Galician or Portuguese. Santigoso is indeed a rural town in the Galician Province of Ourense, in north-western Spain. Interestingly, most of the remaining Iberian diversity of Cyphophthalmi is in Galicia, and we suspect that the type locality of ‘Porto de Santigoso’ may be a labelling error. Juberthie could not have mistaken Parasiro coiffaiti for any of the Galician or Portuguese species, and therefore we suspect that the labelling error did not affect the specimens contained in the vial. A male from this vial has been designated as the lectotype here, and is illustrated in Figure 2; the remaining four males and two females are designated as paralectotypes. Some of the historical collections that were examined by the authors include the following localities: Olot, Riells, Terrassa, Tavertet (Cova Vora Fosca), and Sant Feliu de Pallerols, all of which are in Catalonia.
 New collections: Font del Vidre (Berga, Berguedà, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain), Vall de Fuirosos (Montnegre Massif, Girona, Catalonia, Spain).
 Parasiro coiffaiti is related to Parasiro corsicus (Simon, 1872) and Parasiro minor Juberthie, 1958, from Corsica, Sardinia, and the Italian Peninsula (Simon, 1872; Juberthie, 1958; Brignoli, 1968; de Bivort & Giribet, 2004).

description: Viral respiratory and gastrointestinal infections are the most common illnesses in young children, and have a high burden on families, society, and healthcare systems. To prevent these illnesses, multi-layered public health policies, such as vaccination and nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) are required. This Thesis examines the epidemiology of common respiratory and gastrointestinal viral infections, and interventions that may increase community-level prevention. Data used in this Thesis originated from the Observational Research in Childhood Infectious Diseases Study, a four-year prospective, community-based longitudinal birth cohort of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. Parents of Brisbane-born children recorded daily symptoms and collected weekly respiratory and stool swab samples for the child's first 2 years of life. This Thesis presents research from six distinct studies. [...]
Development and Initial Validation of the Multicultural Gender Roles Scale—Black Women  (MGRS – BW)

description: The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a scale that measures more accurate and flexible gender role representations of Black women regarding themselves and others. Scholars have called for the development of gender role instruments that measure more culturally relevant interpretations of masculinity and femininity (Dade & Sloan, 2000; Miville, 2013). Instruments that incorporate traditional Euro-centric notions of gender roles do not account well for the unique racial-ethnic contexts that likely influence how Black women construct gender as well as perpetuate the misrepresentation of black femininity, the justification of negative stereotypes of Black women (e.g., the Mammy, Jezebel and Sapphire), and the exclusion of Black women from healthy expressions of womanhood (Dade & Sloan, 2000; Harris, 1994). This study referred to the Multicultural Gender Roles Model (MGRM; Miville, Bratini, Corpus, Lau, and Redway, 2013) in an effort to better describe the gendered experiences Black women. The Multicultural Gender Roles Scale - Black Women (MGRS-BW) reflected a 22 Likert-type item scale reflecting a 3-factor structure. Reliability and construct validity was established in several ways: expert ratings, alpha coefficients, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Implications for future research and clinical applications also were presented.

description: PARAMIOPSALIS JUBERTHIE, 1962
 Emended diagnosis: Small sironids with free coxae I; coxae II fused to coxae III and IV. Eyes absent. Ozophores of type II. Sternum absent. Opisthosomal dorsal longitudinal sulcus absent. Posterior border of opisthosoma truncated in males and rounded in females. Opisthosomal tergite IX free, and sternites 8 and 9 medially fused, for most of their length, not forming a corona analis. A single anal gland pore opening on tergite VIII. Basal cheliceral article without dorsal crest. Tarsus and metatarsus of legs I and II smooth; metatarsus of legs III and IV ornamented, but tarsus smooth. Claws of walking legs smooth, without any sort of ornamentation. Tarsus IV of males entire. Adenostyle large, lamelliform, or plumose. Spermatopositor short, with bifurcating dorsal microtrichia with thick bases, and shorter ventral microtrichia with thinner bases. Pars apicalis with hooked mobile digits. Ovipositor long, with a multibranched, sensitive process on each lobe.
This diagnosis corresponds to the one provided for the genus by Juberthie (1962: 267), with the exception of the adenostyle type, which is plumose only in the type species of the genus.
 Included species: Paramiopsalis ramulosus and Paramiopsalis eduardoi sp. nov.
 Phylogenetic position: In recent molecular analyses (Boyer et al., 2007b; this analysis) the genus Paramiopsalis is currently seen as sister to the genus Cyphophthalmus, but its position has fluctuated within Sironidae in other molecular analyses (Boyer et al., 2005). These analyses did not include the genera Iberosiro or Odontosiro. Morphologically, Paramiopsalis is the closest relative of Iberosiro (de Bivort & Giribet, 2004), although with low support. Unfortunately, Iberosiro specimens are not available for molecular study.

description: Employing a four-body classical model, various mechanisms responsible for the production of fast light particles in heavy ion collisions at low and intermediate energies have been studied. It has been shown that at energies lower than 50 A MeV, light particles of velocities of more than two times higher than the projectile velocities are produced due to the acceleration of the target light-particles by the mean field of the incident nucleus. It has also been shown that precision experimental reaction research in normal and inverse kinematics is likely to provide vital information about which mechanism is dominant in the production of fast light particles.

description: While research suggests that blatant expressions of racism are on the decline, more subtle forms of bias persist (Dovidio & Gartner, 2004; Nosek, Banaji, & Greenwald, 2002). These biases can be automatic and unintentional, often occurring outside conscious awareness. Studies suggest that developing awareness is the first step to moderating discriminatory thoughts and behaviors (Divine & Monteith, 1993; Dovidio & Gaertner, 2004; Durrheim, Hook, & Riggs, 2009; Monteith & Voils, 1998). When White Americans are aware of their biases, they are more likely to adjust their attitudes and alter their behaviors. Crucially, when biases go unacknowledged, there are fewer opportunities to combat unintentional racism. As a result, the tendency to disavow racial biases demands scholarly attention. In order to further research in this area, a way of measuring awareness of racial bias is needed. The purpose of this dissertation was to develop and initially validate the Disavowal of Racial Bias Scale (DRB). A review of the research on racial bias helped generate 38 initial items. An empirical approach was then used to determine an optimal version of the scale. In Phase 1, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of data from 579 participants suggested a 2-factor model with a total of 24 items. The first factor was named Bias Examples because it included statements referring to specific examples of racial bias. The second factor was named Bias Existence because it included statements referring to the general phenomenon of racial bias. In Phase 2, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of data from a second subsample of 579 participants was used to confirm the factor structure identified in Phase 1. Both subscales demonstrated high internal consistency, providing evidence of the DRB's reliability. Further psychometric evaluations provided evidence of convergent and discriminant validity. However, the 2-factor model did not appear to be reasonably consistent with the data as evidenced by a poor model fit. Although there are many promising aspects of the final 24-item DRB, more work is needed to make it a valid measure for future use. Limitations of this study and recommendations for future scale development in this area will be discussed.

subject: Asian Americans

description: This dissertation study focuses on constructing a scale measuring the Asian American experience of racial microaggressions, a contemporary form of prejudice and discrimination. The paucity of research on racial microaggressions, its suitability in capturing the contemporary Asian American experience of racism, and the need for an instrument quantifying this experience are discussed. To develop a quantitative measure on racial microaggressions directed against Asian Americans, a four-step process is proposed: pilot study, exploratory factor analysis, validity analysis, and test-retest reliability analysis. Results, limitations, and implications of the dissertation study are discussed. Suggestions for future research are also given.
Accurate prediction of melt pool shapes in laser powder bed fusion by the non-linear temperature equation including phase changes - isotropic versus anisotropic conductivity

description: In this contribution, we validate a physical model based on a transient temperature equation (including latent heat) w.r.t. the experimental set AMB2018-02 provided within the additive manufacturing benchmark series, established at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA. We aim at predicting the following quantities of interest: width, depth, and length of the melt pool by numerical simulation and report also on the obtainable numerical results of the cooling rate. We first assume the laser to posses a double ellipsoidal shape and demonstrate that a well calibrated, purely thermal model based on isotropic thermal conductivity is able to predict all the quantities of interest, up to a deviation of maximum 7.3\% from the experimentally measured values. However, it is interesting to observe that if we directly introduce, whenever available, the measured laser profile in the model (instead of the double ellipsoidal shape) the investigated model returns a deviation of 19.3\% from the experimental values. This motivates a model update by introducing anisotropic conductivity, which is intended to be a simplistic model for heat material convection inside the melt pool. Such an anisotropic model enables the prediction of all quantities of interest mentioned above with a maximum deviation from the experimental values of 6.5\%. We note that, although more predictive, the anisotropic model induces only a marginal increase in computational complexity.
