Legs yellowish with fore femur and tibia and most part of third tibia, reddish-orange. Female valvula red.
Abdodminal apodemes reaching end of segment 4. Male pygofer strongly narrowed in apical half, with 10–11 rigid setae on pygofer lobe with more distal setae longer, lobe-like structure of dorsal margin with 2 spine-like setae; ventral pygofer appendage arising from near middle of ventral margin, sinuate and broad medially. Subgenital plate broadest at base, gradually tapering to apex, with 3 macrosetae in basal group, about 15 marginal spine-like setae laterally, and 11–13 uniseriate macrosetae, starting caudad of, and similar in length to, basal group setae. Paramere broad at base, sinuate, apex bearing more than 10 denticles preceded by about 4 setae. Aedeagal shaft with pair of leaf-like process subapically and pair of short apical processes, more or less straight, dentate basally at outer margins.

description: The central question in the field of 2D materials is how a material behaves when it is patterned at nanometer scale with different edge geometries. Due to the anisotropy inherent in the puckered structure, black phosphorene nanostructures may have more varieties of edge geometries. Here, we present a comprehensive 2D planar crystallographic characterization of phosphorene uniformly by a chiral vector (angle), from which a new type of edge atomic configuration, the slope edge geometry is discovered. The phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs) with slope edges, like previously noticed zigzag and skewed-armchair PNRs, also own interesting twofold-degenerate edge states. These three marginal directions, together with the skewed-zigzag and armchair directions without edge states, divide a phosphorene into four regions among which the electronic property is different from each other. Further, for a PNR cutting along any possible direction, by taking into account the z-direction in structure, whether or not it owns edge states depends on the periodic zigzag-like morphology along the edges. Moreover, we propose a PNR-based z-shaped homogenous junction with scale $\sim$100 nm, where the central scattering region between two PNR electrodes is a phosphorene quantum dot (PQD) of PNR segment with various edge morphologies. Interestingly, the calculated conductance of the junction relies sensitively on the central PQD edge states, which exhibits a terrace with resonant oscillations near Fermi energy, otherwise the electron transport is blocked due to the absence of edge states. Remarkably, the number of oscillating peaks exactly matches to the number of sawtooth along an edge of PQD, since the discrete energy levels of the zigzag-like edge provide the transporting channels for electrons. The results here may be extended to the group-VA 2D materials for observing the electronic property of nanostructures.

description: Gut microbiota studies have been well-investigated for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, however, fewer studies have comprehensively examined the gut microbiome in Motor Neuron Disease (MND), with none examining its impact on disease prognosis. Here, we investigate MND prognosis and the fecal microbiota, using 16S rRNA case–control data from 100 individuals with extensive medical histories and metabolic measurements. We contrast the composition and diversity of fecal microbiome signatures from 49 MND and 51 healthy controls by combining current gold-standard 16S microbiome pipelines. Using stringent quality control thresholds, we conducted qualitative assessment approaches including; direct comparison of taxa, PICRUSt2 predicted metagenomics, Shannon and Chao1-index and Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. We show that the fecal microbiome of patients with MND is not significantly different from that of healthy controls that were matched by age, sex, and BMI, however there are distinct differences in Beta-diversity in some patients with MND. Weight, BMI, and metabolic and clinical features of disease in patients with MND were not related to the composition of their fecal microbiome, however, we observe a greater risk for earlier death in patients with MND with increased richness and diversity of the microbiome, and in those with greater Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio. This was independent of anthropometric, metabolic, or clinical features of disease, and warrants support for further gut microbiota studies in MND. Given the disease heterogeneity in MND, and complexity of the gut microbiota, large studies are necessary to determine the detailed role of the gut microbiota and MND prognosis.

The Role of Critical Frequency in Enhancing Decoherence: Towards a Quantum-to-Classical Transition Model
Creators: name: arrabal, humberto
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This thesis introduces a novel model that emphasizes the role of critical frequency in accelerating the quantum-to-classical transition, proposing a new criterion for understanding decoherence. Traditional models focus primarily on environmental interactions, but this research posits that the frequency of a particle—closely tied to its velocity—plays a critical role in the rate of decoherence. By integrating key concepts such as Einstein's relativistic energy equation, the de Broglie wavelength, and environmental variables like temperature and pressure, this thesis establishes a critical frequency threshold at which quantum coherence rapidly diminishes, leading to classical behavior. Applications of this model to cosmological phenomena, particularly the evolution of the early universe, are also explored. Experimental setups are proposed to empirically test the model's predictions, with potential implications for quantum computing, cryptography, and cosmology.

description: The probability distribution of the mesoscopic local density of states (LDOS) for a single-channel disordered quantum wire with chiral symmetry is computed in two different geometries. An approximate ansatz is proposed to describe the crossover of the probability distributions for the conductance and LDOS between the chiral and standard symmetry classes of a single-channel disordered quantum wire. The accuracy of this ansatz is discussed by comparison with a large-deviation ansatz introduced by Schomerus and Titov in Phys. Rev. B \textbf{67}, 100201(R) (2003).

description: To probe the role of the intrinsic structure of the projectile on sub-barrier fusion, measurement of fusion cross sections has been carried out in $^{9}$Be + $^{197}$Au system in the energy range E$_{c.m.}$/V$_B$ $\approx$ 0.82 to 1.16 using off-beam gamma counting method. Measured fusion excitation function has been analyzed in the framework of the coupled-channel approach using CCFULL code. It is observed that the coupled-channel calculations, including couplings to the inelastic state of the target and the first two states of the rotational band built on the ground state of the projectile, provide a very good description of the sub-barrier fusion data. At above barrier energies, the fusion cross section is found to be suppressed by $\approx$ 39(2)\% as compared to the coupled-channel prediction. A comparison of reduced excitation function of $^{9}$Be + $^{197}$Au with other $x$ + $^{197}$Au shows a larger enhancement for $^9$Be in the sub-barrier region amongst Z=2-5 weakly and tightly bound projectiles, which indicates the prominent role of the projectile deformation in addition to the weak binding.

description: Classification of texture pattern is one of the most important problems in pattern recognition. In this paper, we present a classification method based on the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients of texture image. As DCT works on gray level image, the color scheme of each image is transformed into gray levels. For classifying the images using DCT we used two popular soft computing techniques namely neurocomputing and neuro-fuzzy computing. We used a feedforward neural network trained using the backpropagation learning and an evolving fuzzy neural network to classify the textures. The soft computing models were trained using 80% of the texture data and remaining was used for testing and validation purposes. A performance comparison was made among the soft computing models for the texture classification problem. We also analyzed the effects of prolonged training of neural networks. It is observed that the proposed neuro-fuzzy model performed better than neural network.

description: Background: Although more than 40% of US military veterans have lifetime histories of alcohol use disorder (AUD), little is known about the prevalence and correlates of current drinking patterns (i.e., abstinent, subthreshold, hazardous drinking) in this population. Objectives: To characterize the prevalence and key correlates of abstinence, subthreshold drinking, and hazardous drinking in a nationally representative sample of US veterans with lifetime AUD. Methods: Data from 1,282 veterans with lifetime AUD who participated in the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study were analyzed using analyses of variance, chi-square analyses, and multinomial regression models. Results: Of the 1,282 veterans with lifetime AUD (of which 94.7% were males), 674 (48.2%) were past-year subthreshold drinkers, 317 (28.0%) were abstinent and 291 (23.8%) were hazardous drinkers. Abstinent veterans were older, less educated, less socially engaged, and had higher levels of religiosity than subthreshold and hazardous drinkers. They were also more likely to smoke, screen positive for PTSD, reported greater somatic symptoms than subthreshold drinkers, and had more physical difficulties and lifetime trauma than hazardous drinkers. Subthreshold drinkers were more likely than hazardous drinkers to be female and report physical health problems and less likely to smoke and be depressed. Conclusion: More than three-quarters of US veterans with lifetime AUD are currently abstinent or subthreshold drinkers. Factors associated with abstinence included older age, health problems, religiosity and social engagement. Results suggest a “J-shaped” relationship between current drinking patterns and health and psychosocial factors in veterans, with subthreshold drinkers generally having better health than abstinent and hazardous drinkers.

Optimal control of an SIR epidemic through finite-time non-pharmaceutical intervention

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: We consider the problem of controlling an SIR-model epidemic by temporarily reducing the rate of contact within a population. The control takes the form of a multiplicative reduction in the contact rate of infectious individuals. The control is allowed to be applied only over a finite time interval, while the objective is to minimize the total number of individuals infected in the long-time limit, subject to some cost function for the control. We first consider the no-cost scenario and analytically determine the optimal control and solution. We then study solutions when a cost of intervention is included, as well as a cost associated with overwhelming the available medical resources. Examples are studied through the numerical solution of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. Finally, we provide some examples related directly to the current pandemic.

description: Controlling a complex network is of great importance in many applications. The network can be controlled by inputting external control signals through some selected nodes, which are called input nodes. Previous works found that the majority of the nodes in dense networks are either the input nodes or not, which leads to the bimodality in controlling the complex networks. Due to the physical or economic constraints of many real control scenarios, altering the control mode of a network may be critical to many applications. Here we develop a graph-based algorithm to alter the control mode of a network. The main idea is to change the control connectivity of nodes by removing carefully selected edges. We rigorously prove the correctness of our algorithm and evaluate its performance on both synthetic and real networks. The experimental results show that the control mode of a network can be easily changed by removing few selected edges. Our methods provide the ability to design the desired control mode for different control scenarios, which may be useful in many applications.

description: We define the oscillator and Coulomb systems on four-dimensional spaces with U(2)-invariant Kahler metric and perform their Hamiltonian reduction to the three-dimensional oscillator and Coulomb systems specified by the presence of Dirac monopoles. We find the Kahler spaces with conic singularity, where the oscillator and Coulomb systems on three-dimensional sphere and two-sheet hyperboloid are originated. Then we construct the superintegrable oscillator system on three-dimensional sphere and hyperboloid, coupled to monopole, and find their four-dimensional origins. In the latter case the metric of configuration space is non-Kahler one. Finally, we extend these results to the family of Kahler spaces with conic singularities.

description: Background: The term God, included in 5 of the 12 Steps of Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), self-designated spiritual fellowships, has not been studied empirically relative to members’ experiences. A greater understanding of this can be clinically useful and can shed light on the 12 Step process of recovery. Objectives: To determine how NA members understand the 12-step concept “God as we understood Him” and the relationship between their understanding of God and the intensity of their craving and depressive symptoms.” Methods: 450 (59% male) NA members completed a survey related to their experiences relative to their relationship with “God.” The relationship among these variables and comparisons to the general population was analyzed. Craving and depressive symptoms were assessed by self-report. Results: 98% of the NA participants believe in God explicitly or some other higher power (vs 89% of a probability sample of the US population), 67% believe that God determines what happens to them some or all of the time (vs 48%), 78% (vs 28%) report hearing God talking to them “in their mind”; and 37% report that God talks to them “out loud.” Acceptance of 12 Step God-related variables inversely predicted a significant portion of the variance of scores on craving (7.5%) and depression (13.5%). Conclusions: Respondents’ understanding of God in NA varied considerably and was predictive of their depressive symptoms and craving intensity. These findings can serve as a basis for research into mechanisms underlying NA/AA recovery experiences and can also aid clinicians in how to employ these programs.

description: Green's functions are fundamental quantities that determine the linear responses of physical systems. The recent developments of non-Hermitian systems, therefore, call for Green's function formulas of non-Hermitian bands. This task is complicated by the high sensitivity of energy spectrums to boundary conditions, which invalidates the straightforward generalization of Hermitian formulas. Here, based on the non-Bloch band theory, we obtain simple Green's function formulas of general one-dimensional non-Hermitian bands. Furthermore, in the large-size limit, these formulas dramatically reduce to finding the roots of a simple algebraic equation. As an application, our formulation provides the desirable formulas for the defining quantities, the gain and directionality, of directional amplification. Thus, our formulas provide an efficient guide for designing directional amplifiers.

description: The thesis explores two distinct areas of noncommutative geometry: factorisation and boundaries. Both of these topics are concerned with cycles in Kasparov’s KK-theory which are defined using unbounded operators, and manipulating these cycles. These unbounded operators generalise the Dirac operators of classical geometry. The first topic of the thesis is factorisation, which is a process by which one attempts to represent the class of an equivariant spectral triple as a product of two unbounded Kasparov cycles, which, if they exist, are defined using the group action. We provide sufficient conditions for factorisation to be achieved for actions by compact abelian Lie groups. We apply our results to examples from Dirac operators on manifolds and their noncommutative theta-deformations. In particular, we show that the equivariant spectral triple associated to a Dirac operator on the total space of a compact torus principal bundle always factorises. The second topic of the thesis is relative spectral triples, which can be used to describe (noncommutative) manifolds with boundary. Whereas spectral triples are defined using self-adjoint unbounded operators, relative spectral triples are defined using symmetric unbounded operators. We show that the bounded transform of a relative spectral triple defines a relative Fredholm module, and hence a class in relative K-homology. We use relative spectral triples to investigate the boundary map in the six-term exact sequence of K-homology. We show that the boundary of a relative spectral triple has a simple description in terms of extension theory. With some additional data modelled on the inward normal of a manifold with boundary, we construct a triple which is a candidate for a spectral triple representing the boundary class of a relative spectral triple.

description: Sorting by reversals is an important problem in inferring the evolutionary relationship between two genomes. The problem of sorting unsigned permutation has been proven to be NP-hard. The best guaranteed error bounded is the 3/2- approximation algorithm. However, the problem of sorting signed permutation can be solved easily. Fast algorithms have been developed both for finding the sorting sequence and finding the reversal distance of signed permutation. In this paper, we present a way to view the problem of sorting unsigned permutation as signed permutation. And the problem can then be seen as searching an optimal signed permutation in all n2 corresponding signed permutations. We use genetic algorithm to conduct the search. Our experimental result shows that the proposed method outperform the 3/2-approximation algorithm.

description: Background: Due to underreporting, a major challenge associated with drug use surveys is obtaining precise estimates of drug use. Objective: This study examined reliability of self-reported lifetime marijuana use among electronic dance music (EDM) party attendees – a high-risk population for drug use. Methods: 794 adults (35.1% female) entering EDM parties were intercept-surveyed. Participants were asked about lifetime marijuana use early in the survey. Those not reporting use were asked 5–10 min later if their earlier response was correct. Participants reporting their original response was not correct were asked to check off a reason why they did not originally report use. Participants were also asked at the end of the survey how honestly they responded throughout the survey. Prevalence of lifetime marijuana use with and without corrected responses was compared and risk factors for underreporting were examined using a Poisson generalized linear model. Results: Among those not reporting marijuana use, 31.2% subsequently reported use when asked again. Prevalence of use increased from 73.7% to 81.9% after correcting responses, an 8.2% absolute increase and a 10.0% relative increase. Reporting lifetime use of ecstasy and/or LSD was associated with lower risk for underreporting marijuana use. Compared to those reporting that they answered all questions honestly, those who reportedly answered most or no questions honestly were at higher risk for underreporting. Conclusion: Asking participants to confirm previous responses can help detect underreporting of drug use on intercept surveys. Results can inform survey methods when participants are believed to be at risk for underreporting.
Symmetries and assisted inflation in the DGP braneworld model

description: We present here the general transformation that leaves unchanged the form of the field equations for perfect fluid cosmologies in the DGP braneworld model. Specifically, a prescription for relating exact solutions with different equations of state is provided, and the symmetries found can be used as algorithms for generating new cosmological models from previously known ones. We also present, implicitly, the first known exact DGP perfect fluid spacetime. A particular case of the general transformation is used to illustrate the crucial role played both by the number of scalar fields and the extra dimensional effects in the occurrence of inflation. In particular, we see that assisted inflation does not proceed at all times for one of the two possible ways in which the brane can be embedded into the bulk.

description: We perform a data-driven analysis of new physics (NP) effects in exclusive $b \to s \ell^+\ell^-$ decays in a model-independent effective theory approach with dimension six operators considering scalar, pseudo-scalar, vector and axial-vector operators with the corresponding Wilson coefficients (WC) taken to be complex. The analysis has been done with the most recent data while comparing the outcome with that from the relatively old data-set. We find that a left-handed quark current with vector muon coupling is the only one-operator $(\mathcal{O}_9)$ scenario that can explain the data in both the cases with real and complex WC with a large non-zero imaginary contribution. We simultaneously apply model selection tools like cross-validation and information-theoretic approach like Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) to find out the operator or sets of operators that can best explain the available data in this channel. The $\mathcal{O}_9$ with complex WC is the only one-operator scenario which survives the test. However, there are a few two and three-operator scenarios (with real or complex WCs) which survive the test, and the operator $\mathcal{O}_9$ is common among them.
