 Petrocephalus stuhlmanni haullevillii: David and Poll 1937: 200 (spelt haullevillei). Petrocephalus catostoma haullevillii: Whitehead and Greenwood 1959: 286.
 Type specimens. Syntypes: BMNH 1912.4.1.181–183 (3), BMNH 1912.4.1.184–185 (2), BMNH 1912.4.1.186–188 (3), MRAC 1496–1501 (6) (all studied); ZMB 18795 (1), ANSP 38586–88 (3) (not studied).
 Type locality. “ Chiloanga [River] at Mayili, Luali [River] at Lundo and in the Luculla [River]”, Lower Congo.
 Diagnosis. Predorsal length, PDL, mean 0.618 (range 0.605 –0.641) of SL; preanal length, PAL, mean 0.564 (range 0.542 –0.586) of SL; dorsal fin length, LD, mean 0.168 (range 0.154 –0.177) of SL; anal fin length, LA, mean 0.254 (range 0.24–0.269) of SL; distance dorsal fin origin to end of caudal peduncle, pD, mean 0.421 (range 0.401–0.44) of SL; length of caudal peduncle, CPL, mean 0.22 (range 0.209 –0.231) of SL; depth of caudal peduncle, CPD, mean 0.326 (range 0.277 –0.365) of CPL, length of caudal peduncle; length of snout to centre of eye, LSc, mean 0.322 (range 0.292 –0.362) of HL; length of snout to posterior orbital rim of eye, LSo, mean 0.429 (range 0.4–0.484) of HL; head length, HL, mean 0.24 (range 0.225 –0.248) of SL; distance between the pair of nares of one side, Na, mean 20.03 (range 18.86–21.71) times in HL, head length; body depth, BD, mean 0.283 (range 0.24–0.312) of SL; dorsal fin ray number, nD, median 19 (range 18–21); anal fin ray number, nA, median 27 (range 26–28); number of scales around caudal peduncle, SPc, median 12 (range, 12–12).
 Remarks. Petrocephalus haullevillii is distinguished from other Petrocephalus species by one of the shortest values for head length, HL, in combination with dorsal fin ray number, nD, in the lowest range. This leaves only P. stuhlmanni congicus as an alternative that differs, however, categorically in possessing a rosette of electroreceptor organs above the eye (Augenrosette; Harder 1968), in contrast to haullevillii that possesses none (S. Lavoué, personal communication)

description: Objective: This article summarizes the individual, systemic, and collective challenges and opportunities presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, based on 16 videos solicited by the National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems (NCAPPS) and submitted by NCAPPS collaborators during the first six months of the pandemic.
Method: Informed by participatory action approaches and content analysis, we describe common themes in a series of 16 videos solicited by NCAPPS from subject matter experts with professional and lived experience of disability and human services systems.
Results: The team organized the findings to identify both specific factors within each of the levels and the complex interplay between each of the factors at four levels: (1) individual disabled people and their/our spouses, family, and friends; (2) person-centered strategies; (3) system, services, and providers; and (4) society.
Discussion: Practices such as person-centered planning, peer support, and self-direction enable us to respond to and cope with the traumas caused by the pandemic. Systems-level themes reveal clear opportunities for abandoning outdated practices and rebuilding the service system in a more person-centered manner. Commentators argued that a society that strives for collective responsibility and well-being and leaves no one behind will generate the interdependence necessary to weather disasters like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion: Person-centered practices are both an anchor for weathering the pandemic and a beacon for rebuilding lives, service systems, and communities.

description: Like many UCEDDs in the Developmental Disabilities (DD) network, the Center for Development and Disability at the University of New Mexico offers direct service programs in home and community settings. Before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, services were delivered in-person to about 1,000 families across the state including clients with intellectual or developmental disabilities and/or from at-risk communities. In March 2020, due to the spread of COVID-19, a public health emergency was declared in New Mexico and home and community services were stopped throughout the state. This meant direct service programs at the Center had to turn to telehealth – the use of telecommunications and virtual technology – to deliver services. Center faculty and staff then developed a hybrid quality improvement – evaluation process to assess how this change affected services. The results of this process are reported in this article. The purpose of our evaluation was to both understand “what it takes” to deliver effective services using telehealth, and to assess the how clients and providers experiences services delivered by telehealth. This paper describes findings based on a combination of interviews, focus groups, surveys and program data, focused on four questions:

How did clients rate the quality and efficacy of telehealth-based services? How did clients/families compare virtual to in-person services?
What were the experiences of service providers as the switch to telehealth-based services took place? What barriers did they face related to technology and a new service delivery processes?
What changes did program leaders make to support staff and service delivery?
How did programs use technology to deliver services? How well equipped were Center programs to use telehealth to provide services and how were obstacles overcome?

The article ends by discussing four issues that all UCEDD’s and other agencies delivering telehealth/distance-based direct services might consider moving forward.

description: We consider universal shot noise in ballistic chaotic cavities from a semiclassical point of view and show that it is due to action correlations within certain groups of classical trajectories. Using quantum graphs as a model system we sum these trajectories analytically and find agreement with random-matrix theory. Unlike all action correlations which have been considered before, the correlations relevant for shot noise involve four trajectories and do not depend on the presence of any symmetry.

description: Residential relocation is a way for older adults to cope with income changes, health changes, and other life cycle events such as the loss of a partner. The number of movers aged 60 and older increased by 1.4 million from 2010 to 2019 in the United States. Therefore, it is timely to examine older adults’ recent relocation patterns. Using multiple national-level data sources, we asked two questions: First, who are movers among older adults, and why are they moving? Second, what are their destination regions and neighborhoods? Results show that movers tend to be renters, those with lower incomes, those with higher housing cost burdens, and those who live alone. Although older adults’ primary reason for relocation is to live closer to their families, baby boomers younger than 70 have more heterogeneous moving reasons than older cohorts. We classify older adult movers into three types: aging adapters (56.9% of movers), suburb lovers (37.5% of movers), and long-distance movers (5.6% of movers). Our findings suggest short- and long-term strategies for planners to help older adults meet their heterogeneous residential needs. Practitioners should take steps to increase housing affordability for older adults, such as through changes in land use controls, by creating more age-restricted and age-inclusive communities to accommodate the diverse needs of movers among older adults, and by promoting age-friendly ride-hailing and public transit systems.
title: Being researchers with the label of learning difficulty: An analysis of talk in a project carried out by a Self-Advocacy Research Group
Creators: name: Williams, Val
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2002

description: This thesis examines the talk-in-interaction in an inclusive research project carried out by four people with the label of learning difficulty. They set out to see whether other people in similar positions shared their feelings about labelling, which they perceived as part of the social oppression of being a service user, a less-than-full member of society, restricted by dominant and naturalised discourses about Learning Difficulty. Through a close analysis of the talk, this work characterises and describes the research activity which they undertook. The analytic method draws on elements of conversation analysis and critical discourse analysis, and examines identity work as a matter of local interactional business. Inclusive research as exemplified by this project is shown to be a new and distinct type of activity, drawing on academic models, but also creating its own parameters, through its essential link with the self-advocacy movement. The discourses of resistance and self-reliance are a necessary backdrop to this type of research activity, which springs from strong personal and collective feelings about injustice. Distinctive features include the open nature of meaning-making, blurring of the distinction between researcher and researched, and the working up of a shared identity. Further, the supported nature of the work is critically examined. Reflexive analysis reveals some discursive strategies to support self-advocacy talk and research, and explores the dilemmas of power and ownership. It is concluded that members did in fact address the social problem from which they started, by the very act of doing research. In reclaiming interactional rights, they challenged notions about their own rights to knowledge, and their presumed incompetence as people with learning difficulties. The talk not only reflected the instability of meanings within the world of Learning Difficulty, but members also contributed to these debates, by taking on the right to define themselves.

description: Pundits and economists have recently inferred that zoning explains housing price inflation in fast-growth metro areas. In this article, we use the results of a longitudinal survey of local governments in the 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas in 2003 and 2019 to show the limitations of this narrative. Many local governments do use zoning that limits apartment construction; in some metros, more places embraced than abandoned exclusionary zoning. Rather than too little housing, however, these regions had depressed markets long dominated by racially motivated exclusionary zoning. Meanwhile, zoning grew more accommodating to apartments in strong-market metro areas that have concerned the pundits. Our work covers only the 2003–2019 period for about 800 jurisdictions in the 50 largest U.S. metro areas, and it only generally explains some of the changes we observe. Further qualitative research is needed, therefore, to spotlight what it takes to reform land use regulation to address unaffordability and exclusion. Local land use planners in the United States have ethical and legal obligations to undo the racial segregation designed into zoning from its founding. They also must prepare for continued population growth. Tools and strategies exist to do both of these, and some planners have the commitment and political space to use them. In other places, planners and their professional organizations need to change rules within their own communities and advocate for state legislative reforms so that planning works predictably to unwind unequal and exclusionary settlement patterns within neighborhoods and cities.

description: Multi-electron production is studied at high electron transverse momentum in positron- and electron-proton collisions using the H1 detector at HERA. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 115 pb-1. Di-electron and tri-electron event yields are measured. Cross sections are derived in a restricted phase space region dominated by photon-photon collisions. In general good agreement is found with the Standard Model predictions. However, for electron pair invariant masses above 100 GeV, three di-electron events and three tri-electron events are observed, compared to Standard Model expectations of 0.30 \pm 0.04 and 0.23 \pm 0.04, respectively.

description: The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary black holes (BBHs) has allowed the theory of general relativity to be tested in a previously unstudied regime: that of strong curvature and high GW luminosities. One distinctive and measurable effect associated with this aspect of the theory is the nonlinear GW memory effect. The GW memory effect is characterized by its effect on freely falling observers: the proper distance between their locations differs before and after a burst of GWs passes by their locations. Gravitational-wave interferometers, like the LIGO and Virgo detectors, can measure features of this effect from a single BBH merger, but previous work has shown that it will require an event that is significantly more massive and closer than any previously detected GW event. Finding evidence for the GW memory effect within the entire population of BBH mergers detected by LIGO and Virgo is more likely to occur sooner. A prior study has shown that the GW memory effect could be detected in a population of BBHs consisting of binaries like the first GW150914 event after roughly one-hundred events. In this paper, we compute forecasts of the time it will take the advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors (when the detectors are operating at their design sensitivities) to find evidence for the GW memory effect in a population of BBHs that is consistent with the measured population of events in the first two observing runs of the LIGO detectors. We find that after five years of data collected by the advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors the signal-to-noise ratio for the nonlinear GW memory effect in the population will be about three (near a previously used threshold for detection). We point out that the different approximation methods used to compute the GW memory effect can lead to notably different signal-to-noise ratios.

These new functions, called symmetric functions in superspace, are invariant under the diagonal action of the symmetric group on the sets of commuting and anticommuting variables. In this work, we present the superspace extension of the classical bases, namely, the monomial symmetric functions, the elementary symmetric functions, the completely symmetric functions, and the power sums. Various basic results, such as the generating functions for the multiplicative bases, Cauchy formulas, involution operations as well as the combinatorial scalar product are also generalized.

description: Understanding the intricate interplay between personality dynamics and entropy management is essential for navigating the complexities of human behavior and experience. This paper investigates the multifaceted relationship between personality traits and entropy, aiming to elucidate strategies for effectively managing entropy within individuals' lives. Drawing from theories in psychology, information theory, and complex systems, we analyze the concept of entropy within the context of personality, highlighting its implications for personal development, well-being, and adaptation. We explore various approaches for reducing entropy, including self-awareness, goal-setting, routine establishment, social connections, and stress management techniques. Through a synthesis of theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence, we propose a holistic model for understanding and managing entropy in personality dynamics. This paper contributes to the growing body of literature on complexity science and psychology, offering practical insights and implications for individuals striving to achieve balance, coherence, and resilience in their lives amidst uncertainty and change.

description: We investigate some examples of quantum Zeno dynamics, when a system undergoes very frequent (projective) measurements that ascertain whether it is within a given spatial region. In agreement with previously obtained results, the evolution is found to be unitary and the generator of the Zeno dynamics is the Hamiltonian with hard-wall (Dirichlet) boundary conditions. By using a new approach to this problem, this result is found to be valid in an arbitrary $N$-dimensional compact domain. We then propose some preliminary ideas concerning the algebra of observables in the projected region and finally look at the case of a projection onto a lower dimensional space: in such a situation the Zeno ansatz turns out to be a procedure to impose constraints.

description: Background: Collective efficacy (CE) is a group’s shared belief that through their united efforts they can overcome challenges to achieve common goals (Bandura, 1993; 1997). CE has been shown to be related to professional growth, stress reduction, and overall collaborative impact in studies of groups responding to ongoing challenges as well as unforeseen circumstances (i.e. teachers, first-responders, and community responses to natural disasters) (Benight, 2004; Donohoo, 2016; Prati et al., 2011). COVID-19 has forced organizations serving individuals with disabilities to come together to adapt and change the ways in which they serve the disability community.
Objective: This study examines reported attributes of CE as experienced by Arizona Developmental Disability Network (ADDN) members and their partners. This study respectively examines CE prior to COVID-19, currently, and predicted likelihood of CE attributes continuing in the future.
Method: This mixed-method study involves data collected through a questionnaire and qualitative data collected through interviews with ADDN members and their partners.
Results: The questionnaire results describe and compare the attributes of CE using sub-domains of social cohesion and trust, group competence, and enabling structures in three-time frames: prior to COVID-19, currently, and prediction of six months from now. The interviews provide narrative description of specific ADDN activities, roles, and perceptions; thus, adding a valuable dimension to interpreting the results.
Conclusion: ADDN members and their partners have persisted and quickly adapted to COVID-19. These connections made during this time are likely to remain and help better serve Arizona’s disability community.

description: Network theory is rapidly changing our understanding of complex systems, but the relevance of topological features for the dynamic behavior of metabolic networks, food webs, production systems, information networks, or cascade failures of power grids remains to be explored. Based on a simple model of supply networks, we offer an interpretation of instabilities and oscillations observed in biological, ecological, economic, and engineering systems. We find that most supply networks display damped oscillations, even when their units - and linear chains of these units - behave in a non-oscillatory way. Moreover, networks of damped oscillators tend to produce growing oscillations. This surprising behavior offers, for example, a new interpretation of business cycles and of oscillating or pulsating processes. The network structure of material flows itself turns out to be a source of instability, and cyclical variations are an inherent feature of decentralized adjustments.

A Robust Sensorless Controller-Observer Strategy for PMSMs with Unknown Resistance and Mechanical Model

Subjects: subject: Systems and Control (eess.SY)

description: In this work, we present a mixed sensorless strategy for Permanent Magnets Synchronous Machines, combining a torque/current controller and an observer for position, speed, flux and stator resistance. The proposed co-design is motivated by the need of an appropriate signal injection technique, in order to guarantee full state observability. Neither the typical constant or slowly-varying speed assumptions, nor a priori mechanical model information are used in the observer design. Instead, the rotor speed is modeled as an unknown input disturbance with constant (unknown) sign and uniformly non-zero magnitude. With the proposed architecture, it is shown that the torque tracking and signal injection tasks can be achieved and asymptotically decoupled. Because of these features, we refer to this strategy as a sensorless controller-observer with no mechanical model. Employing a gradient descent resistance/back-EMF estimation, combined with the unit circle formalism to describe the rotor position, we rigorously prove regional practical asymptotic stability of the overall structure, with a domain of attraction that can be made arbitrarily large, not including a lower dimensional manifold. The effectiveness of this design is further validated with numerical simulations, related to a challenging application of UAV propellers control.

Perspectives of Immigrant Families and Persons with Disabilities during COVID-19
Creators: name: Rodriguez, Diana

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Background: The health, economic, social, political, and psychological consequences of COVID-19 have been deeply felt on a global level. Persons with disabilities, including those from Hispanic/Latino immigrant communities, have faced unique challenges during both the peak and fallout of the pandemic. Throughout both the United States and New York City, COVID-19 has disproportionately affected communities of color. However, the impact of COVID-19 on persons with disabilities among immigrant and communities of color is still unfolding.
Aims: In this paper, we aim to better understand the compounded stress of the COVID-19 pandemic experienced by immigrant families who have a child with a disability.
Methods: A total of twelve parents of children with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities from the Bronx, New York were interviewed in the months following the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. All interviewed parents were first-generation immigrants from Mexico who presently reside in New York City. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using open-ended questions.
Results: Several themes emerged in interviews with families and primarily centered around fear of deportation, inability to access services, and disability-specific challenges. Parents voiced fears of accessing medical services, language interpreter services, and utilizing welfare benefits such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Family concerns also centered around financial consequences from the pandemic, including inability to pay rent, inability to apply or qualify for unemployment, and ineligibility for stimulus checks. Lastly, parents have also experienced numerous difficulties with remote learning and have not received working technologies (i.e., tablets) for their child’s educational and clinical services.
Conclusion: Despite available resources for families in need, immigrants face complex and heightened barriers in accessing these much needed services. Immigration status, fear of deportation (for either the parent or an extended family member), and linguistic barriers to accessing care were particularly evident. Additionally, parents expressed concerns that their children have not received adequate support and technologies to maintain their child’s education and care, which is critical for healthy development.

description: We present results of numerical simulations of the 3+1 dimensional Nambu - Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model with a non-zero baryon density enforced via the introduction of a chemical potential mu not equal to 0. The triviality of the model with a number of dimensions d>=4 is dealt with by fitting low energy constants, calculated analytically in the large number of colors (Hartree) limit, to phenomenological values. Non-perturbative measurements of local order parameters for superfluidity and their related susceptibilities show that, in contrast to the 2+1 dimensional model, the ground-state at high chemical potential and low temperature is that of a traditional BCS superfluid. This conclusion is supported by the direct observation of a gap in the dispersion relation for 0.5<=(mu a)<=0.85, which at (mu a)=0.8 is found to be roughly 15% the size of the vacuum fermion mass. We also present results of an initial investigation of the stability of the BCS phase against thermal fluctuations. Finally, we discuss the effect of splitting the Fermi surfaces of the pairing partners by the introduction of a non-zero isospin chemical potential.

description: The relativistic plasma flows onto neutron stars that are accreting material from stellar companions can be used to probe strong-field gravity as well as the physical conditions in the supranuclear-density interiors of neutron stars. Plasma inhomogeneities orbiting a few kilometres above the stars are observable as X-ray brightness fluctuations on the millisecond dynamical timescale of the flows. Two frequencies in the kilohertz range dominate these fluctuations: the twin kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs). Competing models for the origins of these oscillations (based on orbital motions) all predict that they should be related to the stellar spin frequency, but tests have been difficult because the spins were not unambiguously known. Here we report the detection of kHz QPOs from a pulsar whose spin frequency is known. Our measurements establish a clear link between kHz QPOs and stellar spin, but one not predicted by any current model. A new approach to understanding kHz QPOs is now required. We suggest that a resonance between the spin and general relativistic orbital and epicyclic frequencies could provide the observed relation between QPOs and spin.

description: Traditional slot filling in natural language understanding (NLU) predicts a one-hot vector for each word. This form of label representation lacks semantic correlation modelling, which leads to severe data sparsity problem, especially when adapting an NLU model to a new domain. To address this issue, a novel label embedding based slot filling framework is proposed in this paper. Here, distributed label embedding is constructed for each slot using prior knowledge. Three encoding methods are investigated to incorporate different kinds of prior knowledge about slots: atomic concepts, slot descriptions, and slot exemplars. The proposed label embeddings tend to share text patterns and reuses data with different slot labels. This makes it useful for adaptive NLU with limited data. Also, since label embedding is independent of NLU model, it is compatible with almost all deep learning based slot filling models. The proposed approaches are evaluated on three datasets. Experiments on single domain and domain adaptation tasks show that label embedding achieves significant performance improvement over traditional one-hot label representation as well as advanced zero-shot approaches.

Stochastic Maps, Wealth Distribution in Random Asset Exchange Models and the Marginal Utility of Relative Wealth

description: We look at how asset exchange models can be mapped to random iterated function systems (IFS) giving new insights into the dynamics of wealth accumulation in such models. In particular, we focus on the "yard-sale" (winner gets a random fraction of the poorer players wealth) and the "theft-and-fraud" (winner gets a random fraction of the loser's wealth) asset exchange models. Several special cases including 2-player and 3-player versions of these `games' allow us to connect the results with observed features in real economies, e.g., lock-in (positive feedback), etc. We then implement the realistic notion that a richer agent is less likely to be aggressive when bargaining over a small amount with a poorer player. When this simple feature is added to the yard-sale model, in addition to the accumulation of the total wealth by a single agent ("condensation"), we can see exponential and power-law distributions of wealth. Simulation results suggest that the power-law distribution occurs at the cross-over of the system from exponential phase to the condensate phase.

description: COVID-19 has impacted families across the world. Besides the huge task of keeping their children and themselves healthy, families had more responsibilities such as supporting their children’s learning at home when they could not go to school. We asked 457 parents of children with disabilities about their knowledge, beliefs, and needs during the first few months of the pandemic. The parents reported a decrease in formal supports available to them. They also reported a decrease in being able to access informal supports. The parents stated concerns about the health and well-being of their families, the loss of jobs and income, delays and changes in special education services, and lack of technology to access special education from home. Their highest need was education for their children, followed by a need for family supports. High anxiety levels were also reported by most parents.

description: Wearables equipped with pervasive sensors enable us to monitor physiological and behavioral signals in our everyday life. We propose the WellAff system able to recognize affective states for wellbeing support. It also includes health care scenarios, in particular patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) suffering from bipolar disorders. For the need of a large-scale field study, we revised over 50 off-the-shelf devices in terms of usefulness for emotion, stress, meditation, sleep, and physical activity recognition and analysis. Their usability directly comes from the types of sensors they possess as well as the quality and availability of raw signals. We found there is no versatile device suitable for all purposes. Using Empatica E4 and Samsung Galaxy Watch, we have recorded physiological signals from 11 participants over many weeks. The gathered data enabled us to train a classifier that accurately recognizes strong affective states.

description: We study equations of a non-gauge vector field in a spherically symmetric static metric. The constant vector field with a scale arrangement of components: the time component about the Planck mass m_{Pl} and the radial component about M suppressed with respect to the Planck mass, serves as a source of metric reproducing flat rotation curves in dark halos of spiral galaxies, so that the velocity of rotation v_0 is determined by the hierarchy of scales: \sqrt{2} v_0^2= M/m_{Pl}, and M\sim 10^{12} GeV. A natural estimate of Milgrom's acceleration about the Hubble rate is obtained.

Comme application, nous donnons une reformulation de la question de Zariski sur la multiplicité et une réponse partielle positive à celle--ci.

Initial wave packets and the various power-law decreases of scattered wave packets at long times

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: The long time behavior of scattered wave packets $ψ(x,t)$ from a finite-range potential is investigated, by assuming $ψ(x,t)$ to be initially located outside the potential. It is then shown that $ψ(x,t)$ can asymptotically decrease in the various power laws at long time, according to its initial characteristics at small momentum. As an application, we consider the square-barrier potential system and demonstrate that $ψ(x,t)$ exhibits the asymptotic behavior $t^{-3/2}$, while another behavior like $t^{-5/2}$ can also appear for another $ψ(x,t)$.
