Brachodidae

description: Family Brachodidae
Brachodidae (little bear moths) is a small family with 160 described species worldwide (Nieukerken et al. 2011) and is widely distributed except North America. Brachodidae are unusual due to their exclusive association with monocotyledonous hostplants, including grasses, sedges and palms. Brachodids are small to medium sized robust moths, mostly diurnal with hindwing having noticeably enlarged anal field and the abdomen usually extends beyond the hindwings in set specimens (Kallies 2016). The Brachodidae of the Oriental region and adjacent areas was revised by Kallies (1998, 2004, 2013). The Brachodidae comprises three subfamilies viz., Brachodinae, Pseudocossinae and Phycodinae (Kallies 2013), although, the African subfamily Pseudocossinae was treated under Cossidae by Yakovlev (2011).
At present, 13 species in six genera of Brachodidae are known from India and are mainly distributed in Himalayas, North East India, southern India, central India and Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Year: 2024

description: Recent years have seen many advances in designing secure messaging protocols, aiming at provably strong security properties in theory or high efficiency for real-world practical deployment. However, important trade-off areas of the design space inbetween these elements have not yet been explored.

In this work we design the first provably secure protocol
that at the same time achieves (i) strong resilience against fine-grained compromise, (ii) temporal privacy, and (iii) immediate decryption with constant-size overhead, notably, in the post-quantum (PQ) setting. Besides these main design goals, we introduce a novel definition of offline deniability suitable for our setting, and prove that our protocol meets it, notably when combined with a PQ offline deniable initial key exchange.

description: The concentration of suspended solids in a meso-eutrophic basin remained unchanged in the years following clear felling (1983–85). The amount of suspended solids increased upon ditching, ploughing and mounting to a mean level of 81.8 mg l–1 in 1986–88, decreased to a level of 7.8 mg l–1 for 1989–91 and 4.5 mg l–1 for 1992–94. Total phosphorus concentration increased four-fold (142 µg l–1) in 1983–85 following clear felling, and remained at three times the reference concentration (95.4 µg l–1) in 1986–88 following ditching and site preparation. Phosphate phosphorus concentration increased more than five-fold after clear felling (97.8 µg l–1) in 1983–85 and was more than two-fold the reference (39.5 µg l–1) following ditching and site preparation in 1986–88. The concentrations of total phosphorus and phosphate phosphorus returned to the level recorded in a natural state by 1989 onwards. Total nitrogen concentrations doubled (965 µg l–1) upon clear felling, and remained the same after ditching and site preparation in 1986–88. Where a protective strip of forest was left between the felling site and the brook, suspended solid did not increase in response to either clear felling or ploughing of the felled area, nor were any changes observed in total phosphorus, phosphate phosphorus or nitrogen componds.The ditching of peatland down to the level of the mineral soil led to an increase in the suspended solid concentration (17.8 mg l–1) by a factor of more than 12 in the first three years (1983–85) and by a factor of more than four (5.7 mg l–1) in the following three years (1986–88) compared with the reference period. Total nitrogen, nitrate and nitrite concentrations of ground water were markedly low all the time the forests remained in their natural state, but began to rise gradually following clear felling. A high increase was recorded as a consequence of ditching and site preparation.
ResolFuzz: Differential Fuzzing of DNS Resolvers

Year: 2024

description: This paper identifies and analyzes vulnerabilities in the DNS infrastructure, with particular focus on recursive DNS resolvers. We aim to identify semantic bugs that could lead to incorrect resolver responses, introducing risks to the internet’s critical infrastructure. To achieve this, we introduce ResolFuzz, a mutation-based fuzzer to search for semantic differences across DNS resolver implementations. ResolFuzz combines differential analysis with a rule-based mechanism to distinguish between benign differences and potential threats. We evaluate our prototype on seven resolvers and uncover multiple security vulnerabilities, including inaccuracies in resolver responses and possible amplification issues in PowerDNS Recursor’s handling of DNAMEResource Records (RRs). Moreover, we demonstrate the potential for self-sustaining DoS attacks in resolved and trust-dns, further underlining the necessity of comprehensive DNS security. Through these contributions, our research underscores the potential of differential fuzzing in uncovering DNS vulnerabilities.

description: It is recommended that researchers who use mixed modal methods for data collection compare their impact on outcome measures. The purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity and fruit/vegetable consumption behaviors of a multiethnic sample of adults, comparing participants who continued a telephone survey and those who transitioned from a telephone to a web-based survey for a follow-up data collection point. This longitudinal study used a random sample of 700 Hawaii residents (63.3% Female; Mean age=47, SD=17.1). At baseline, participants completed a computer-assisted telephone interview assessing the stage, behavior, and decisional balance of both physical activity and fruit/vegetable consumption. For the three-month follow-up survey, participants were given the option of completing the survey either on the web or by phone. Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was computed for related physical activity scales and fruit/vegetable consumption variables to compare the change in response across time between a web group and phone group. For both physical activity and fruit/vegetable consumption, all mode-by-time interactions were significant. The participants who preferred the telephone survey maintained their levels, whereas those who preferred the web survey reported a decrease in each variable. These results suggest that changing the mode of a survey may introduce a systematic bias in data and that researchers should proceed with caution when using mixed modes of data collection.

Tyre stud derived tungsten carbide particles in urban street dust
Creators: name: Peltola, P.
name: Wikström, E.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 2006

description: In countries where studded winter tyres are used they contribute to the generation of street dust by grinding the road surface and traction sand into finer particles. At the same time the hard metal tips of the studs, made out of tungsten carbide (WC), wear to finer particles dispersed into the environment. Elevated tungsten concentrations in different sampling media, probably caused by the use of studded tyres, have also been reported. In this study three size fractions of street dust sampled in Turku, Finland, were investigated. Tungsten and various other element concentrations were determined with ICP-MS after total dissolution, pseudo total concentration (aqua regia) and a weaker extraction (1M NH4Ac). A visual analysis was made with a SEM-EDX to study the presence and size fraction of WC particles, which has not been studied before. The total concentrations (median values) of tungsten in the fractions were 9.2 µg g–1 (100 µm–2 mm), 21 µg g–1 (45 µm–100 µm) and 39 µg g–1 (< 45 µm). As expected, tungsten showed a tendency to accumulate into the finer size fractions. However, more surprising was the result that out of all elements determined, tungsten had the greatest (median values) relative enrichment in the fine fraction. In the SEM-EDX analysis particles consisting of tungsten were identified and ruled out to be WC abraded from tyre studs. The WC particles occurred either separately or in clusters with size range of 0.1–1.4 µm.

description: Family Cossidae
Cossidae (carpenter moths or goat moths) is universally distributed with 971 globally known species (Nieukerken et al. 2011). Adults are mostly grey in colour, small to very large, usually robust; some have long, narrow wings and resemble hawk moths. Antennae are less than half the length of forewing, usually bipectinate, rarely filiform, serrate, or unipectinate in male, usually filiform in female. Many species mimic twigs, barks and leaves. Caterpillars are smooth with a few hairs and they have an unpleasant smell, hence also known as ‘goat moths’. First catalogue of the family was published by the Dalla-Tore (1923) with nearly 500 species belonging to 57 genera including 35 species with eight genera from Indian region. However, the firstever catalogue of Indian cossidae was documented by Arora (1976), reporting only 31 species. Yakovlev (2011) published a catalogue of family Cossidae from the Old world. In the recent years, many new Indian taxa of Cossidae were described by Yakovlev (2005, 2006, 2011, 2013, 2019, 2021).
At present, 47 species in 26 genera of Cossidae are known from India under three subfamilies; Catoptinae (two species in one genus), Cossinae (11 species in eight genera), and Zeuzerinae (35 species in 19 genera).

description: The NOPEX experimental campaigns dealt with the land-surface-atmosphere exchange of momentum, heat, water and CO2 on local and regional scales. In this paper emphasis is put on the NOPEX experiences with respect to the spatial integration of fluxes of momentum, heat, humidity and CO2 over the mosaic of forest, agricultural land, lakes and mires that make up the southern part of the NOPEX area. It is found that the forest dominates both the regional momentum and heat fluxes but in very different ways. Furthermore, results from a NOPEX experiment in the northern zone of the boreal forest in Finnish Lapland highlights the very unique processes associated with the energy exchange within a forest in wintertime. The interaction of the forest canopy with sunshine provides a considerable energy source, particularly at low solar angles. A considerable improvement in model simulations of fluxes and surface temperature was achieved when this effect and the heat storage of the canopy were taken into account.

description: Databases are increasingly embracing AI to provide autonomous system optimization and intelligent in-database analytics, aiming to relieve end-user burdens across various industry sectors. Nonetheless, most existing approaches fail to account for the dynamic nature of databases, which renders them ineffective for real-world applications characterized by evolving data and workloads. This paper introduces NeurDB, an AI-powered autonomous database that deepens the fusion of AI and databases with adaptability to data and workload drift. NeurDB establishes a new in-database AI ecosystem that seamlessly integrates AI workflows within the database. This integration enables efficient and effective in-database AI analytics and fast-adaptive learned system components. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that NeurDB substantially outperforms existing solutions in managing AI analytics tasks, with the proposed learned components more effectively handling environmental dynamism than state-of-the-art approaches.

description: Since the initial discovery of Meltdown and Spectre in 2017, different variants of these attacks have been discovered. One often overlooked variant is Meltdown 3a, also known as Meltdown-CPL-REG. Even though Meltdown-CPL-REG was initially discovered in 2018, the available information regarding the vulnerability is still sparse.

In this paper, we analyze Meltdown-CPL-REG on 19 different CPUs from different vendors using an automated tool. We observe that the impact is more diverse than documented and differs from CPU to CPU. Surprisingly, while the newest Intel CPUs do not seem affected by Meltdown-CPL-REG, the newest available AMD CPUs (Zen3+) are still affected by the vulnerability. Furthermore, given our attack primitive CounterLeak, we show that besides up-to-date patches, Meltdown-CPL-REG can still be exploited as we reenable performance-counter-based attacks on cryptographic algorithms, break KASLR, and mount Spectre attacks. Although Meltdown-CPL-REG is not as powerful as other transient-execution attacks, its attack surface should not be underestimated.

description: The effects of forestry on fish and fisheries were studied in the Isojoki basin, western Finland. The most abundant fish species in the study area, brown trout (Salmo trutta L.), was found in 27 of 50 brooks studied. Enzyme electrophoresis revealed at least five genetically differentiated stocks of brown trout in the brooks. Regression analysis indicated that the population density of brown trout was positively dependent on the abundance of pools, stony bottom material (2 to < 10 cm in diameter), undercut banks in the streams, and water pH, while the abundance of ditches in the catchment area and shading by the tree canopy affected the density negatively. Incubation experiments showed that sedimentation with mineral and humus material impaired the survival of trout eggs in the rapids. The results suggest that dredging of brooks and increased soil erosion due to drainage may threaten the reproduction and genetic diversity of trout stocks in the brooks and main river.

description: After a brief historic overview about spatial audio reproduction, the concept of object-based audio reproduction is explained and the need for spatial audio scenes is stated. Several existing formats for describing object-based audio scenes are reviewed, with special focus on the description of movement of scene objects over time. A new scene authoring format named Audio Scene Description Format (ASDF) is presented. Its description of movement of scene objects is based on several types of splines, which are thoroughly investigated, both for position and for rotation. Finally, an open-source ASDF library implementation and two integrations of this library are presented, which make it possible for everyone to try the ASDF right now.

description: Nonreligion in Estonia: generational approach
Based on the interviews with the nonreligious in Estonia – where religion has been marginal in the public sphere for almost 60 years – the article explores generational differences among the nonreligious in their attitudes and sets of ideas about (non)religion. According to the findings, the paper argues that there are two types of nonreligion: one that emerges from contact with religion and characterizes mainly the older generation, and another one that emerges from the lack of contact and characterizes mainly the middle-aged and younger generation. As (non)religion is often considered a combination of identities, beliefs, and practices, the article argues that a central element of Estonian nonreligion is the normativity of nonreligion in society. This perception defines not only general attitude, but also the spheres of religion and nonreligion, so both are understood primarily as different solutions to personal well-being.

The fragile climatological niche of the Baltic Sea

Year: 2002

description: The Baltic Sea is governed by the same physical laws as any other sea. Yet since it lies in a very different part of the temperature and salinity range than most other waters of the World Ocean, these laws result in dynamics that is not found elsewhere in the same extent. Here some consequences of this fact are discussed in light of recent observational and theoretical advances. We show that heat fluxes are almost negligible for restratification in this regime, and combine this idea with what is expected about the climatic warming to give a forecast of a substantial, non-linear change in the way the seasonal stratification and the vernal bloom in the Baltic Sea are formed. This discussion should also provide a conceptual framework for the discussion of the impacts of climate change on vernal bloom dynamics there, and in boreal estuaries in general.

description: The transient-execution attack Meltdown leaks sensitive information by transiently accessing inaccessible data during out-of-order execution. Although Meltdown is fixed in hardware for recent CPU generations, most currently-deployed CPUs have to rely on software mitigations, such as KPTI. Still, Meltdown is considered non-exploitable on current systems.

In this paper, we show that adding another layer of indirection to Meltdown transforms a transient-execution attack into a side-channel attack, leaking metadata instead of data. We show that despite software mitigations, attackers can still leak metadata from other security domains by observing the success rate of Meltdown on non-secret data. With LeakIDT, we present the first cache-line granular monitoring of kernel addresses. LeakIDT allows an attacker to obtain cycle-accurate timestamps for attacker-chosen interrupts. We use our attack to get accurate inter-keystroke timings and fingerprint visited websites. While we propose a low-overhead software mitigation to prevent the exploitation of LeakIDT, we emphasize that the side-channel aspect of transient-execution attacks should not be underestimated.

description: Local quantum annealing (LQA), an iterative algorithm, is designed to solve combinatorial optimization problems. It draws inspiration from QA, which utilizes adiabatic time evolution to determine the global minimum of a given objective function. In the original LQA, the classical Hamiltonian is minimized via gradient descent. The performance of LQA depends on the choice of the parameters. Owing to the non-convex nature of the original cost function, LQA often becomes trapped in local minima, limiting its effectiveness. To address this challenge, we combine LQA with a deep unfolding scheme, which enables us to tune the parameters from the training data via back-propagation. {As a demonstration, we apply the deep unfolded LQA to the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, which is a fundamental {model} in statistical physics.} Our findings exhibit that deep unfolded LQA outperforms the original LQA, exhibiting remarkable convergence speed and performance improvement. As the trained parameters can be generalized to unknown instances and different system sizes, our results have significant practical implications and provide valuable insights for real-world applications.

description: Abundance, biomass, size distribution and growth of the common mussel, Mytilus edulis L. along a transect extending through the SW archipelago of Finland, northern Baltic Sea are described here for the first time. The parameters studied were found to vary according to environmental gradients extending from the inner to the outer archipelago. The lowest densities and biomass were found in the innermost archipelago. Most of the populations here consisted of small individuals between 4 to 6 mm (antero-posterior length), while in the middle and outer archipelago areas modal size was approximately twice as large. The average growth rate of mussels in the middle archipelago was higher than in all other areas. Very slow growing, or “dwarf” mussels were found in all areas studied, but these were most common in the outer archipelago.

description: Extreme events can often be ecologically more relevant than fluctuations in the mean climate. We studied the effects of an exceptionally rainy period in 2000 on 13 physical and chemical variables and on the phytoplankton biomass and composition in Lake Mälaren, the third largest lake in Sweden. The rainy period caused a distinct increase in the chemical loading, in particular the loading of organic carbon, into Lake Mälaren. As a consequence water color, measured as light absorption of filtered water, was up to 3.4 times higher in 2001 than ever recorded since 1965. In addition, reactive silica concentrations doubled, particle concentrations were the highest and conductivity was the lowest registered. The changes in physical and chemical conditions of Lake Mälaren in 2001 showed temporal and spatial differences depending on runoff processes in the catchment, water residence times and the type of variable. It is suggested that especially the increase in water color was responsible for the observed doubling in the cryptophycean biomass in Lake Mälaren in May 2001. The increase in water color and cryptophycean biomass was also observed in a nearby lake. Such increases required alterations in the treatment process of raw water from Lake Mälaren for the drinking water supply of Stockholm city.

description: Rowhammer is a hardware vulnerability that can be exploited to induce bit flips in dynamic random access memory (DRAM), compromising the security of a computer system. Multiple ways of exploiting Rowhammer have been shown and even in the presence of mitigations such as target row refresh (TRR), DRAM modules remain partially vulnerable.

In this paper, we present a large-scale reproduction study on the Rowhammer vulnerability using the Blacksmith Rowhammer fuzzer. The main focus of our study is the impact of the fuzzing environment. Our study, uses a diverse set of 10 DRAM chips from various manufacturers, with different capacities and memory frequencies. We show that the runtime, used seeds, and DRAM coverage of the fuzzer have been underestimated in previous work. Additionally, we study the entire hardware setup's impact on the transferability of Rowhammer by fuzzing the same DRAM on 4 identical machines. The transferability study heavily relates to Rowhammer-based physically unclonable functions (PUFs) which rely on the stability of Rowhammer-induced bit flips. Our results confirm the findings of the Blacksmith fuzzer, showing that even modern DRAM chips are vulnerable to Rowhammer. In addition, we show that PUFs are challenging to achieve on commodity systems due to the high variability of Rowhammer bit flips.
Adaptive SGD with Polyak stepsize and Line-search: Robust Convergence and Variance Reduction

description: The recently proposed stochastic Polyak stepsize (SPS) and stochastic linesearch (SLS) for SGD have shown remarkable effectiveness when training overparameterized models. However, two issues remain unsolved in this line of work. First, in non-interpolation settings, both algorithms only guarantee convergence to a neighborhood of a solution which may result in a worse output than the initial guess. While artificially decreasing the adaptive stepsize has been proposed to address this issue (Orvieto et al. 2022), this approach results in slower convergence rates under interpolation. Second, intuitive line-search methods equipped with variance-reduction (VR) fail to converge (Dubois-Taine et al. 2022). So far, no VR methods successfully accelerate these two stepsizes with a convergence guarantee. In this work, we make two contributions: Firstly, we propose two new robust variants of SPS and SLS, called AdaSPS and AdaSLS, which achieve optimal asymptotic rates in both strongly-convex or convex and interpolation or noninterpolation settings, except for the case when we have both strong convexity and non-interpolation. AdaSLS requires no knowledge of problem-dependent parameters, and AdaSPS requires only a lower bound of the optimal function value as input. Secondly, we propose a novel VR method that can use Polyak stepsizes or line-search to achieve acceleration. When it is equipped with AdaSPS or AdaSLS, the resulting algorithms obtain the optimal rate for optimizing convex smooth
functions. Finally, numerical experiments on synthetic and real datasets validate our theory and demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our algorithms.

description: The main objective of the deliverable is to develop a template for a zero-tolerance approach to gender-based violence, including sexual harassment, in research funding organisations in the European Research Area. The deliverable is based on the results and recommendations from the GENDERACTIONplus D3.1 and D3.2. A continuous engagement with the GENDERACTIONplus research funding organisations, through a community of practice and a mutual learning workshop in September 2023, has been instrumental for the logic and structure of D3.3. Further, relevant position papers, policy development and tools from the UniSAFE project have informed the content development. Finally, D3.3 is aligned with the upcoming zero-tolerance approach code of conduct in the European Research Area on ending gender-based violence, and with the recently launched GenderSAFE project and its ongoing work on policy development and awareness raising. The template is a step-by-step approach for research funding organisations to end gender-based violence in research. The logic and structure of the template combine the three pillars of the code of conduct – commitment, action, and accountability – and a specific model for internal change management in research funding organisations.

description: A rigorous formalization of desired system requirements is indispensable when performing any verification task. This often limits the application of verification techniques, as writing formal specifications is an error-prone and time-consuming manual task. To facilitate this, we present nl2spec, a framework for applying Large Language Models (LLMs) to derive formal specifications (in temporal logics) from unstructured natural language. In particular, we introduce a new methodology to detect and resolve the inherent ambiguity of system requirements in natural language: we utilize LLMs to map subformulas of the formalization back to the corresponding natural language fragments of the input. Users iteratively add, delete, and edit these sub-translations to amend erroneous formalizations, which is easier than manually redrafting the entire formalization. The framework is agnostic to specific application domains and can be extended to similar specification languages and new neural models. We perform a user study to obtain a challenging dataset, which we use to run experiments on the quality of translations. We provide an open-source implementation, including a web-based frontend.

description: In this paper, we introduce a MusIc conditioned 3D Dance GEneraTion model, named MIDGET based on Dance motion Vector Quantised Variational AutoEncoder (VQ-VAE) model and Motion Generative Pre-Training (GPT) model to generate vibrant and highquality dances that match the music rhythm. To tackle challenges in the field, we introduce three new components: 1) a pre-trained memory codebook based on the Motion VQ-VAE model to store different human pose codes, 2) employing Motion GPT model to generate pose codes with music and motion Encoders, 3) a simple framework for music feature extraction. We compare with existing state-of-the-art models and perform ablation experiments on AIST++, the largest publicly available music-dance dataset. Experiments demonstrate that our proposed framework achieves state-of-the-art performance on motion quality and its alignment with the music.

description: Family Ratardidae
Ratardidae is a rare moth’s family (Schoorl 1990, Nieukerken et al. 2011). Some authors considered Ratardidae as a subfamily within Cossidae (Holloway 1986, Edwards et al. 1999, Heynderycx 2003). Ratardidae is delicate, butterfly like moths, ocelli absent, antennae filiform or bipectinate and short up to 1/3 length of forewing. Currently, the family includes nine species in four genera. The family is distributed in North East India, Indochina (Myanmar, Thailand), Taiwan, the Philippines (Palawan Island), Malaysia, New Guinea and Indonesia to the east to the Moluccas (Yakovlev et al. 2022b). In India, the family is represended by three species in genus Ratarda.

description: Six sites for forest ecoystem monitorint were established to perform a long-term study of effects of air pollution on pine forest ecosystems along a pollution gradient in the border areas between Norway and Russia. The main pollution source is a nickel smelter. Several methods and analyses were used to investigate different compartments of this northern boreal forest ecosystem. The differences in ecological condition and diversity observed among the research sites are probably due to the air pollution load in the area. The elevated concentrations of Ni and Cu detected in plant tissues, the reduced lichen vegetation on stems and on the forest floor, and the reduced or absent moss vegetation are the most obvious impacts in the investigated area.

description: Family Sesiidae
Sesiidae is group of wasp mimicking moths with narrow, transparent wings (scales retained along margins and on veins) having uniquely specialized coupling apparatus in addition to frenuluo-retinacular wing coupling. In females, frenulum is a single bristle. Proboscis unscaled and labial palpi porrect or upturned, often roughly scaled. Most of the adult’s rest with their wings half-spread and their bodies almost parallel to the surface. The family comprises 1553 species and 46 subspecies in 165 genera, under Sesiinae and Tinthiinae (Pühringer & Kallies 2004, 2023). In India, 89 species in 38 genera are known, so far.

Jack-in-the-box: An Empirical Study of JavaScript Bundling on the Web and its Security Implications

description: In recent years, we have seen an increased interest in studying the software supply chain of user-facing applications to uncover problematic third-party dependencies. Prior work shows that web applications often rely on outdated or vulnerable third-party code. Moreover, real-world supply chain attacks show that dependencies can also be used to deliver malicious code, e.g., for carrying cryptomining operations. Nonetheless, existing measurement studies in this domain neglect an important software engineering practice: developers often merge together third-party code into a single file called bundle, which they then deliver from their own servers, making it appear as first-party code. Bundlers like Webpack or Rollup are popular open-source projects with tens of thousand of GitHub stars, suggesting that this technology is widely-used by developers. Ignoring bundling may result in underestimating the complexity of modern software supply chains. In this work, we aim to address this methodological shortcomings of prior work. To this end, we propose a novel methodology for automatically detecting bundles, and partially reverse engineer them. Using this methodology, we conduct the first large-scale empirical study of bundled code on the web and examine its security implications. We provide evidence about the high prevalence of bundles, which are contained in 40% of all websites and the average website includes more than one bundle. Following our methodology, we reidentify 1051 vulnerabilities originating from 33 vulnerable npm packages, included in bundled code. Among the vulnerabilities, we find 17 critical and 59 high severity ones, which might enable malicious actors to execute attacks such as arbitrary code execution. Analyzing the low-rated libraries included in bundles, we discover 10 security placeholder packages, which suggest that supply-chain attacks against bundles are not only possible, but they are already happening.

Are long gamma-ray bursts progenitors to merging binary black holes?

description: The distribution of delay times between the formation of binary black hole (BBH) progenitors and their gravitational-wave (GW) merger provides important clues about their unknown formation histories. When inferring the delay time distribution, it is typically assumed that BBH progenitor formation traces the star formation rate (SFR). In this work, we consider the rate of long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) instead of the SFR. LGRBs are thought to correspond to the formation of (possibly spinning) black holes, and may therefore be related to the BBH progenitor population. By comparing the redshift evolution of the LGRB rate as inferred by Ghirlanda & Salvaterra (2022) and the BBH merger rate inferred by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) observations, we find that the delay time distribution between LGRBs and BBH mergers is well-described by a power law with minimum delay time $10$ Myr and slope $α={-0.96}^{+0.64}_{-0.76}$ (90% credibility). This matches theoretical expectations for the BBH delay time distribution, which in turn lends support to the hypothesis that LGRBs trace BBH progenitor formation. However, comparing the absolute rates of these two populations, we find that at most $f = {4}^{+10}_{-2}\%$ of LGRBs may evolve into merging BBH. We also consider the possibility that LGRBs only produce BBH systems with large aligned spins (with effective inspiral spin $χ_\mathrm{eff} > 0.2$). In this case, we find $f = 0.3^{+1.0}_{-0.2}\%$ and the delay time distribution favors the steepest power-law slopes we consider ($α= -2$). We argue that asynchronous observations of LGRBs and GWs provide a powerful multimessenger probe of black hole lifecycles across cosmic history.
