Lathrobium brunnipes

description: Lathrobium brunnipes (FABRICIUS 1793)
 Lathrobium fuscum GRAVENORST 1806: 130 f.; nov.syn.
 T y p e m a t e r i a l L. fuscum: Neotype, present designation: "W. Germany, Umg. Hannover, Bokeloh-Kaliberg, 10.4.83 / Neotypus Lathrobium fuscum Gravenhorst, desig. V. Assing 2008 / Lathrobium brunnipes (Fabricius), det. V. Assing 2003" (MNHUB).
 C o m m e n t: The original description of the nomen dubium L. fuscum is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from Paris and Braunschweig collected by Brongniart and Dahl, respectively (GRAVENHORST 1806). The type material was found neither in the historical collection at the MNHUB (WILLERS, e-mail 20 Feb., 2008) nor in the collections of the MNHNP (TAGHAVIAN, e-mail 18 June, 2008), so that it can be assumed to be lost. There is no reasonable doubt that it is conspecific with a described species whose name has been in use for decades, if not centuries, so that a synonymisation with a senior name seems advisable. According to the original description, the type specimens are of dark-brown coloration, similar in habitus to L. brunnipes, but distinguished by finer punctation, and their elytra are barely longer than wide and approximately as long and as wide as the pronotum. This description fits the brachypterous morph of L. brunnipes, which is more finely punctate (particularly on the head and the elytra) than most other Lathrobium species occurring in France and Germany. Also, the punctation of the forebody is subject to some intraspecific variation in the genus. Therefore, a relatively pale coloured (blackish-brown), finely punctate, and brachypterous specimen of L. brunnipes from Niedersachsen is designated as the neotype of L. fuscum and the above synonymy is established.

description: Inspired by applications, we consider reaction-diffusion equations on $\mathbb{R}$ that are stochastically forced by a small multiplicative noise term that is white in time, coloured in space and invariant under translations. We show how these equations can be understood as a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) forced by a cylindrical Q-Wiener process and subsequently explain how to study stochastic travelling waves in this setting. In particular, we generalize the phase tracking framework that was developed in [Hamster & Hupkes 2017] and [Hamster & Hupkes 2018] for noise processes driven by a single Brownian motion. The main focus lies on explaining how this framework naturally leads to long term approximations for the stochastic wave profile and speed. We illustrate our approach by two fully worked-out examples, which highlight the predictive power of our expansions.

description: There is a two-way interaction between logistics and international trade. For countries, your logistics sector and infrastructure must be both adequate and integrated with the rest of the world if you want to raise your share of international trade. With a new MCDM method, REF-III, and two different model, this study attempted to investigate countries' activities in the context of infrastructure, logistics, international trade, and economic growth. China and Russia were found to be at the forefront according to the findings of both models. The United States, on the other hand, came out on top in a model that looked at efficiency in international trade and economic growth. However, certain Caucasian and Balkan countries, which have endured different crises, wars, and turbulence over the last four decades, came in last in both models. The investments, and reforms related to infrastructure and logistics carried out by the countries at the forefront of the world trade and logistics’ sector should serve as a model for the remaining countries

description: The overall aim of this dissertation was to examine the role of physical activity as a management and rehabilitation strategy for persons with MS. The research undertaken compared differences in fatigue, depression and quality of life measures in persons with MS who did and did not regularly participate in physical activity, assessed modifiable determinants of physical activity behaviour, as well as compared adaptations to two different exercise training modalities. To complete this research, three separate studies were conducted. The purpose of study one was to compare fatigue, depression and quality of life scores in persons with MS who did and did not regularly participate in physical activity. This was a cross-sectional questionnaire study of one-hundred and twenty-one patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Study participants were 25-65 years old and lived in Queensland, Australia. Physical activity level, fatigue, depression and quality of life were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Health Status Questionnaire Short Form-36, Beck Depression Inventory and Modified Fatigue Impact Scale. Results indicated that fifty-two participants completed at least two, 30 minute exercise sessions per week (exercising group) and sixty-nine participants did not participate in regular physical activity (non-exercising group). Individuals in the exercising group reported favourable fatigue, depression and quality of life scores when compared to participants in the non-exercising group. We also found significantly weak correlations between both leisure-time and overall reported physical activity levels and some subscales of the quality of life and fatigue impact questionnaires. The findings of study one suggest that favourable fatigue, depression and quality of life scores are reported by persons with MS who regularly participate in physical activity, when compared to persons with MS who do not.

description: This exegesis proposes art as an in/hospitable space for female embodiment, drawing on manifestations of the uncanny, the shadow, and the ghostly, for which theoretical support is found in new feminist, posthumanist, and new materialist discourses. Research for this exegesis has aimed to archive and reimagine two decades of ceramic figurative sculpture practice as well as establish a new language for my practice through an expanded field of material enquiry. Attention to the sensorial field of clay is an intuitive, as well as logical step in praxis. It recasts the perception of what the ‘traditional medium’ of ceramics may have to offer, in an era in which the system of art is becoming increasingly virtual. These investigations merge an intuitive understanding of clay with medical scanning technologies, video making, studio logic, and spatial investigations. The additional use of performance, collaboration, and interdisciplinary processes has destabilised and blurred the discrete, unyielding characteristics of the ceramic canon. This allows for an expansion of the language of art’s matter beyond the thin, opaque, impenetrable surface of fired and glazed clay. Instead, porosity, as the interpenetration and interconnection between the inside and the outside of the artist’s body, has created a new understanding of female embodiment and the nature of materiality in art making.

Source-side Dependency Tree Reordering Models with Subtree Movements and Constraints

Year: 2009

description: We propose a novel source-side dependency tree reordering model for statistical machine translation, in which subtree movements and constraints are represented as reordering events associated with the widely used lexicalized reordering models. This model allows us to not only efficiently capture the statistical distribution of the subtree-to-subtree transitions in training data, but also utilize it directly at the decoding time to guide the search process. Using subtree movements and constraints as features in a log-linear model, we are able to help the reordering models make better selections. It also allows the subtle importance of monolingual syntactic movements to be learned alongside other reordering features. We show improvements in translation quality in English→Spanish and English→Iraqi translation tasks.

description: It has proved convenient to define the effective lepton flavor mixing matrix $\widetilde{U}$ and neutrino mass-squared differences $\widetildeΔ^{}_{ji} \equiv \widetilde{m}^2_j - \widetilde{m}^2_i$ (for $i,j =1,2,3$) to describe the phenomena of neutrino mixing and flavor oscillations in a medium, but the prerequisite is to establish direct and transparent relations between these effective quantities and their fundamental counterparts in vacuum. With the help of two sets of sum rules for $\widetilde{U}$ and $\widetildeΔ^{}_{ji}$, we derive new and exact formulas for moduli of the nine elements of $\widetilde{U}$ and the sides of its three Dirac unitarity triangles in the complex plane. The asymptotic behaviors of $|\widetilde{U}^{}_{αi}|^2$ and $\widetildeΔ^{}_{ji}$ (for $α= e, μ, τ$ and $i,j =1,2,3$) in very dense matter (namely, allowing the matter parameter $A = 2\sqrt{2} ~ G^{}_{\rm F} N^{}_e E$ to mathematically approach infinity) are analytically unraveled for the first time, and in this connection the confusion associated with the parameter redundancy of $\widetildeθ^{}_{12}$, $\widetildeθ^{}_{13}$, $\widetildeθ^{}_{23}$ and $\widetildeδ$ in the standard parametrization of $\widetilde{U}$ is clarified.

While this is an important domain of research, existing literature on the stigmatisation of mental illness by mental health professionals and trainees is marked by many weaknesses. The objective of the current dissertation was to rectify several of these weaknesses with a program of research that involved three distinct studies. Study 1, a scoping review, aimed to describe the current state of research on the stigmatisation of mental illness by mental health professionals. Study 2 aimed to explore, through qualitative research, the mental disorders, stereotypes, emotions, and behaviours that are essential to the relative stigmatisation of mental illness by mental health professionals. Study 3 aimed to identify how key stereotypes and mental disorders relate to one another in a sample of trainee mental health professionals. [...]

subject: Private security contractors

description: Mercenary soldiers are an historical constant. The emergence in the last two decades of a ‘new’ type of ‘mercenary’ – the private security contractor – has been portrayed as a feature of contemporary warfare, reflecting their acceptance by states into the international security framework. Distinctions are drawn between mercenaries and private contractors, with the latter being depicted as a post Cold War phenomenon, where demands for protection from weak states are met by ‘private armies.’ Key concerns with private contractors are their access to the use of force, notionally a preserve of the state, and their capacity to operate unregulated, without state control. Critics argue that state inertia towards regulation facilitates the privatisation of warfare. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between private security contractors and states; in particular, the origins and mechanisms that allow private entities to operate, without regulation. Private contractors are conceptualised as a tool to extend state interest, a potentially dangerous security resource which requires a risk management approach by states. The question, of how states risk-manage private security actors, has framed the research. This question is underpinned by enquiries into the nature of the relationship between states and private security contractors, the options available to states to retain control, and how these mechanisms operate in the private/public domain. A meta-review of the literature has been undertaken, with qualitative analysis of primary and secondary source data, and selective use of statistical information. Source texts include international security, military history, risk, state-organised crime and analyses of the mafia.

description: Quantum algorithms have the potential to outperform their classical counterparts in a variety of tasks. The realization of the advantage often requires the ability to load classical data efficiently into quantum states. However, the best known methods require $\mathcal{O}\left(2^n\right)$ gates to load an exact representation of a generic data structure into an $n$-qubit state. This scaling can easily predominate the complexity of a quantum algorithm and, thereby, impair potential quantum advantage. Our work presents a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for efficient, approximate quantum state loading. More precisely, we use quantum Generative Adversarial Networks (qGANs) to facilitate efficient learning and loading of generic probability distributions -- implicitly given by data samples -- into quantum states. Through the interplay of a quantum channel, such as a variational quantum circuit, and a classical neural network, the qGAN can learn a representation of the probability distribution underlying the data samples and load it into a quantum state. The loading requires $\mathcal{O}\left(poly\left(n\right)\right)$ gates and can, thus, enable the use of potentially advantageous quantum algorithms, such as Quantum Amplitude Estimation. We implement the qGAN distribution learning and loading method with Qiskit and test it using a quantum simulation as well as actual quantum processors provided by the IBM Q Experience. Furthermore, we employ quantum simulation to demonstrate the use of the trained quantum channel in a quantum finance application.

description: Biology students often struggle with biology terms with meanings that differ from those in common speech. This semantic confusion may cloud students’ understanding of feedback loops, which are fundamental for understanding homeostasis physiology, such that positive or negative feedback loops are miscategorized as desirable or harmful. This study aims to understand how well secondary students understand homeostasis, the prevalence of semantic confusion in that population, and how semantic confusion affects the understanding of feedback loops in homeostatic systems.

I administered the previously published Homeostasis Concept Inventory, coupled with four newly designed open-response questions (HCI+), to approximately 300 high school biology students. I designed and implemented an instructional intervention in which feedback loops were taught with replacement terms for positive and negative in general biology (GB) and anatomy and physiology (ANP) courses to gauge the influence of terminology on understanding. Although GB students scored low on the HCI, ANP students matched college-level performance post-instruction. Semantic confusion was common across biology students, and this presence was correlated with lower HCI+ scores. However, students in the instructional intervention did not outperform those in control courses on the HCI+. This investigation into the understanding of semantic confusion around feedback loops provides insight and instructional recommendations for secondary biology student learning of homeostasis.

 Lathrobium krniense JOSEPH 1868: 365 f.; nov.syn.
 C o m m e n t: The original description of this nomen dubium is based on two syntypes from Krn mountain, Juliske Alpy, Slovenia. Lathrobium krniense is the sole and type species of the subgenus Centrocnemiella STRAND 1934, a replacement name for the preoccupied homonym Centrocnemis JOSEPH 1868. According to HORN et al. (1990), the Joseph collection was separated and the whereabouts of large parts of this collection are unknown. Enquiries directed to various major European natural history museums yielded no clues whatsoever as to whether the type material of L. krniense still exists or where it may be found.
 According to JOSEPH (1868), the holotype is winged, so that it can be safely assumed that it does not represent an endemic species of the Juliske Alpy. If L. krniense is a species of Lathrobium, the details provided in the original description best fit a macropterous L. pallidum, a widespread dimorphic species with which the type material of L. krniense is hypothesised to be conspecific.
 Thus the following synonymies result: Lathrobium GRAVENHORST 1802 = Centrocnemis Joseph 1868, = Centrocnemiella STRAND 1934, nov.syn.; Lathrobium pallidum NORDMANN 1837 = Lathrobium krniense JOSEPH 1868, nov.syn.

description: Penalized spline smoothing is a popular and flexible method of obtaining estimates in nonparametric regression but the classical least-squares criterion is highly susceptible to model deviations and atypical observations. Penalized spline estimation with a resistant loss function is a natural remedy, yet to this day the asymptotic properties of M-type penalized spline estimators have not been studied. We show in this paper that M-type penalized spline estimators achieve the same rates of convergence as their least-squares counterparts, even with auxiliary scale estimation. We further find theoretical justification for the use of a small number of knots relative to the sample size. We illustrate the benefits of M-type penalized splines in a Monte-Carlo study and two real-data examples, which contain atypical observations.

description: "The Discipline of Novel-Writing: A Writer's Creativity Toolkit" is a creative writing thesis in two parts: a draft novel centred on the contemporary Brisbane legal scene, titled "Six Minutes", and an exegesis which examines and addresses the scarcity of self-evaluative creative writing resources for writers aho are no longer novices. The exegesis and toolkit evolved from my search for answers to complex, common, but little-understood writing problems which I had encountered while producing "Six Minutes". By overlaying the legal world onto the world of novel-writing, I show how a novelist builds a case, much like a lawyer does. A number of aspects of my toolkit are generated out of appropriations from legal thinking practice. An interesting irony, therefore, is that my novelistic interrogation of misbehaviour in a law firm uses the tools of the legal world against itself.

description: We propose a kernel function for ordered categorical data that overcomes limitations present in ordered kernel functions appearing in the literature on the estimation of probability mass functions for multinomial ordered data. Some limitations arise from assumptions made about the support of the underlying random variable. Furthermore, many existing ordered kernel functions lack a particularly appealing property, namely the ability to deliver discrete uniform probability estimates for some value of the smoothing parameter. We propose an asymmetric empirical support kernel function that adapts to the data at hand and possesses certain desirable features. There are no difficulties arising from zero counts caused by gaps in the data while it encompasses both the empirical proportions and the discrete uniform probabilities at the lower and upper boundaries of the smoothing parameter. We propose likelihood and least-squares cross-validation for smoothing parameter selection and study their asymptotic and finite-sample behaviour.

description: Host-parasite relationships can be directly affected by host’s biological aspects and environmental factors, which influence both the survival of infective forms and the incidence of parasites. However, logistical difficulties in accessing biological samples for parasitological studies makes the Amazon Forest into a poorly known region in relation to the dynamic of parasites of wild animals. Here, using 34 red howler monkeys’ biological samples donated by local subsistence hunters from two Amazon habitat types (white-water flooded forest and upland forest) as an opportune alternative, we detected four intestinal parasite taxa infecting this species (two nematodes – Trypanoxyuris sp. and Strongyloides sp., one protozoan – Entamoeba sp. –, and one not-identified trematode, the last just found for white-water flooded forest). Trypanoxyuris was the most prevalent intestinal parasite (56.5% at flooded forest and 54.5% at upland forest). There was no difference between habitat types or individual sex regarding the prevalence for any parasite taxa. On the other hand, we found a strong influence of seasonality, with increasing prevalence of all parasite taxa as the river water level increased. In terms of egg and cyst counts, we found a difference between sexes (females > males, p = 0.002) and habitat types (upland forest > white-water flooded forest, p = 0.02), and a positive relationship with river water level (p = 0.002). Although some of these parasite taxa can be shared between humans and howlers, further investigations are necessary to study the parasites taxonomy thoroughly and to assess the potential zoonotic cross-transmission of these pathogens to local people living in the Amazon. In this study, we unveiled a seasonal effect for howler monkeys' intestinal parasites, that also might occur in other non-human primates of the Amazon. In addition, our results on periods of high risk of intestinal parasite infection and provide are useful to estimate future impacts of climate change on host-parasite dynamics.

description: Laser Produced Plasmas (LPP) are a better source to increase the energy cut-off of the harmonics generated due to their larger ionisation potential than the conventional neutral gas media, if optimised properly. The experiments detailed in the thesis aim towards the use of LPP as a medium for the generation of bright coherent EUV/XUV table-top sources. A detailed spatio-temporal characterisation of LPP's generated from Al and Cr targets via non-invasive optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and time-resolved plume imaging are performed to investigate plasma features and optimise them. While ns LPP's are spatio-temporally optimised for Al IV/Al III with the irradiation energy as the control parameter, the ps LPP's are optimised for Al III using the single pulse (SP) and double pulse (DP) schemes. Experiments on Cr plasmas are also performed and the changes in plume morphology upon implementing SP and DP schemes are investigated via plume imaging and the abundance of various species in the plume were investigated via time-resolved OES. The DP schemes are investigated in detail to find out the influence of parameters such as the polarisation, delay between the two pulses, energy in the first pulse and the ambient pressure on the plume morphology. Building and extending the experimental setup to conduct the proposed experiments aiming towards increasing the energy cut-off of the harmonics using LPP as the nonlinear medium comprises the second part of the thesis. A High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) set up is built and tested using harmonics generated in Ar gas. The HHG system developed here would further be modified to take care of the plasma fluorescence as well as to accommodate higher order harmonics. These spatio-temporally optimised LPP's together with the set-up are anticipated to produce HHG sources with higher brilliance than the commercial tabletop sources, adding energy tunability to these sources. Additional experiments on the angle resolved X-ray emissions in the range of 30 keV to 150 keV from LPP from metals (Al and Cr) and their alloys (Al-Cr) are carried out and detailed here; which can also be used as a source of X-ray radiation.

description: BMS-986120 is a novel first-in-class oral protease-activated receptor 4 (PAR4) antagonist exhibiting robust antithrombotic activity that has shown low bleeding risk in monkeys. We sought to assess pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tolerability of BMS-986120 in healthy participants and platelet responses to BMS-986120 in participants carrying PAR4 A120T variants. Phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single-ascending-dose (SAD; N = 56) and multiple-ascending-dose (MAD; N = 32) studies were conducted. Exposure was approximately dose-proportional: maximum concentrations 27.3 and 1536 ng/mL, areas under the curve (AUC) to infinity of 164 and 15,603 h*ng/mL, and half-lives of 44.7 and 84.1 hours for 3.0 and 180 mg, respectively. The accumulation index suggested an ~2-fold AUC increase at steady state. Single doses of 75 and 180 mg BMS-986120 produced ≥80% inhibition of 12.5 μM PAR4 agonist peptide (AP)-induced platelet aggregation through at least 24 hours postdose, and doses ≥10 mg for ~7 days inhibited aggregation completely through 24 hours. No differences in PAR4-mediated platelet response were seen between AA120 versus TT120 PAR4 variants. In cells expressing A120 or T120 PAR4 proteins, no differences in half-maximal effective concentration in receptor activation by PAR4-AP were observed. BMS-986120 was well tolerated with dose-proportional pharmacokinetics and concentration-dependent pharmacodynamics in healthy participants over a wide dose range. ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02208882.
