Larsen 1996: pl. 7, figs 67 ii. d’ Abrera 1997: 83 (2 figs.). SI: Figures 7i,j, 8a–j.
 Forewing length: male 17.5–25.0 mm (mean (n = 7) 21.74 mm, SD = 2.665); female 19.0– 23.5 mm (mean (n = 6) 20.43 mm, SD = 1.299).
 Records. According to Kielland (1990, p.58) this butterfly is common in wooded areas, open grassland and savannah, at sea level to 1900 m, from southern Tanzania throughout coastal areas north to the Kenyan border. Included here as a member of the lower slopes fauna on the basis of the record by Butler (1888, p.92, as Teracolus omphaloides Butler, 1876), with several specimens from the slopes of Kilimanjaro and from Taveta in the BMNH and OUMNH collections. This subspecies also occurs in Kenya, eastern DRC, Malawi, the Comoros, and south to much of South Africa and west to Namibia. The species as a whole occurs widely in most of Africa and Arabia (Ackery et al. 1995, p.189).
Females vary in upperside ground colour, mostly white or yellow (some are a more sandy hue), and the extent of orange at the forewing tip. Males vary considerably in the extent of the black markings of the upperside. The ground colour of the underside hindwing varies from white to yellowish or pinkish.

description: The objective of this research was to consider the possibility of abolishing the mandatory labeling of transgenic foods, evaluating the principles of the company's social function, precaution and consumer protection, especially regarding its right to information. The methodology used in this research was that of the deductive method and, in terms of means, the research was bibliographical, with the aid of doctrine and legislation. As for the ends, it was a qualitative research. It was concluded that there are several discourses favorable to transgenics, mainly by the agroindustrial sector and government entities that establish partnerships and receive funds from companies related to the sector. These researches conclude that the innovative techniques used in the production of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are able to produce more food, with quality, at a lower cost and with less area of ​​cultivation. The companies involved with transgenics claim that these innovations seek socioeconomic and environmental development and, consequently, they comply with the principle of the social function provided for in the Constitution. Despite this, there is significant resistance from society against transgenic foods, since these arguments lack more unanimous scientific evidence. Mainly because there are other studies carried out by independent institutions that warn of the emergence of new allergies and intolerances, in proportions of pandemic, and even cancer, associated with the consumption of these foods. Thus, faced with an undeniable impasse, the interested sector, seeking the loss of the obligatory labeling of transgenic foods, starts to speculate the existence of a supposed ideology against transgenics. However, even without going into the heart of the discussion of the positive or negative effects of transgenics, it can be seen that this exoneration conflicts head-on with the precautionary principle. In addition, it represents a social retrogression, as it also offends a fundamental right, that of consumer protection, above all, to be informed and to be able to exercise their freedom of choice for products that are not genetically modified.

description: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have been used widely to generate large volumes of synthetic data. This data is being utilized for augmenting with real examples in order to train deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Studies have shown that the generated examples lack sufficient realism to train deep CNNs and are poor in diversity. Unlike previous studies of randomly augmenting the synthetic data with real data, we present our simple, effective and easy to implement synthetic data sampling methods to train deep CNNs more efficiently and accurately. To this end, we propose to maximally utilize the parameters learned during training of the GAN itself. These include discriminator's realism confidence score and the confidence on the target label of the synthetic data. In addition to this, we explore reinforcement learning (RL) to automatically search a subset of meaningful synthetic examples from a large pool of GAN synthetic data. We evaluate our method on two challenging face attribute classification data sets viz. AffectNet and CelebA. Our extensive experiments clearly demonstrate the need of sampling synthetic data before augmentation, which also improves the performance of one of the state-of-the-art deep CNNs in vitro.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit geht es um Instrumente des Employer Branding zur Gewinnung von Fachkräften in der Metallbranche. Viele Betriebe sind mit der Problematik konfrontiert, qualifizierte Fachkräfte zu finden bzw. in weiterer Folge längerfristig an das Unternehmen zu binden. Um Handlungsempfehlungen zu erarbeiten, gilt es zu eruieren, welche Aspekte des Fachkräftemangels vorherrschen und inwieweit Instrumente des Employer Branding einen Lösungsansatz darstellen. Die in dieser Arbeit beschriebenen Instrumente tragen dazu bei, die Arbeitgeberattraktivität zu fördern bzw. zu steigern. Ein weiterer Fokus wird auf die Bedeutung von Arbeitgeberbewertungsportalen gelegt. Im theoretischen Teil geht es zum einen um die durch den Fachkräftemangel in der Metallbranche hervorgerufenen Herausforderungen in Bezug auf das Employer Branding und zum anderen um den Einfluss von Arbeitgeberbewertungsportalen auf potenzielle BewerberInnen. Im Rahmen des empirischen Teils werden problemzentrierte ExpertInneninterviews durchgeführt. Um allgemeine Informationen und Meinungen zum Thema Employer Branding in der Metallbranche zu erhalten, werden GeschäftsführerInnen und Employer Branding Verantwortliche unterschiedlicher Unternehmen interviewt. Eine zweite Gruppe setzt sich aus potenziellen BewerberInnen für Jobs in der Metallbranche zusammen, um Aufschluss über die Entscheidungskriterien im Hinblick auf mögliche ArbeitgeberInnen zu erhalten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass durch Employer Branding Maßnahmen die Attraktivität des Unternehmens einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Jobauswahl bzw. Arbeitszufriedenheit im Unternehmen darstellt. Weitere Erkenntnisse aus der empirischen Forschung haben ergeben, dass sich Unternehmen mit einer attraktiven Arbeitgebermarke sich bei der Stellenbesetzung von relevanten Positionen leichter tun als Unternehmen mit schlechterem Image. Weiters zeigen die Untersuchungsergebnisse, dass positive oder negative Rezensionen und Bewertungen auf Arbeitgeberbewertungsportalen eine wesentliche Rolle auf die Wahrnehmung der Arbeitgebermarke und Jobauswahl erlangen können.

description: We present a revised and complete optical afterglow light curve of the binary neutron star merger GW170817, enabled by deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) F606W observations at $\approx\!584$ days post-merger, which provide a robust optical template. The light curve spans $\approx 110-362$ days, and is fully consistent with emission from a relativistic structured jet viewed off-axis, as previously indicated by radio and X-ray data. Combined with contemporaneous radio and X-ray observations, we find no spectral evolution, with a weighted average spectral index of $\langle β\rangle = -0.583 \pm 0.013$, demonstrating that no synchrotron break frequencies evolve between the radio and X-ray bands over these timescales. We find that an extrapolation of the post-peak temporal slope of GW170817 to the luminosities of cosmological short GRBs matches their observed jet break times, suggesting that their explosion properties are similar, and that the primary difference in GW170817 is viewing angle. Additionally, we place a deep limit on the luminosity and mass of an underlying globular cluster of $L \lesssim 6.7 \times 10^{3}\,L_{\odot}$, or $M \lesssim 1.3 \times 10^{4}\,M_{\odot}$, at least 4 standard deviations below the peak of the globular cluster mass function of the host galaxy, NGC4993. This limit provides a direct and strong constraint that GW170817 did not form and merge in a globular cluster. As highlighted here, HST (and soon JWST) enables critical observations of the optical emission from neutron star merger jets and outflows.

description: Nine metal-polluted white dwarfs are observed with medium-resolution optical spectroscopy,where photospheric abundances are determined and interpreted through comparison against solar system objects. An improved method of making such comparisons is presented that overcomes potential weaknesses of prior analyses, with the numerous sources of error considered to highlight the limitations on interpretation. The stars are inferred to be accreting rocky, volatile-poor asteroidal materials with origins in differentiated bodies, in line with the consensus model. The most heavily polluted star in the sample has 14 metals detected, and appears to be accreting material from a rocky planetesimal, whose composition is mantle-like with a small Fe-Ni core component. Some unusual abundances are present: one star is strongly depleted in Ca, while two others show Na abundances elevated above bulk Earth, speculated either to reflect diversity in the formation conditions of the source material, or to be traces of past accretion events. Another star shows clear signs that accretion ceased around 5 Myr ago,causing Mg to dominate the photospheric abundances, as it has the longest diffusion time of the observed elements. Observing such post-accretion systems allows constraints to be placed on models of the accretion process.

description: We review the application of the relativistic quantum mechanics method for the description of neutrino oscillations for the studies of spin-flavor oscillations in background matter under the influence of a plane electromagnetic wave. Basing on the new exact solution of the Dirac-Pauli equation for a massive neutrino in the given external fields, we derive the transition probabilities for spin and spin-flavor oscillations. The obtained expressions are analyzed for different types of the neutrino magnetic moments. Our results are compared with findings of other authors.

It is demonstrated that the model formalism could be applied to reproduce the staggering effects observed in nuclear octupole bands. On this basis we propose that the interactions involved would provide a relevant handle in the study of collective phenomena in nuclei and other quantum mechanical systems with reflection asymmetry correlations.

 Forewing length: male 17.0– 19.50 mm (mean (n = 7) 18.46 mm, SD = 0.424); female 15.0–19.0 mm (mean (n = 6) 17.27 mm, SD = 1.131).
 Records. Widespread and common in wooded habitats within Tanzania, from sea level to more than 1800 m (Kielland 1990, p.57). Kielland did not give specific records, but the presence of this taxon on Mt Kilimanjaro was recorded by Butler (1888, p.92, under the synonym Teracolus comptus Butler 1888 and Aurivillius (1910a, p.12), and confirmed by Liseki (2009), who encountered this species on 9 September 2000 at 2000 m (voucher in BMNH). The BMNH also has old material from Kilimanjaro and Taveta. Beyond Tanzania, subspecies antigone occurs in dry habitats throughout most of Africa south of the Sahara, with other subspecies in North Africa and southern Spain, Socotra and Arabia (Ackery et al. 1995, p.190).
Males of this small species vary somewhat with respect to the intensity of markings. Females are very variable, with dry season forms less marked with black than wet season individuals (Larsen 1996, p.136). Some females lack orange at the forewing tip, with intermediates (d’ Abrera 1997, p.84). Individuals with yellow ground colour also occur, but we have not seen any from the Kilimanjaro area.

description: Over the past 20 years, U.S. agribusinesses have been subject to a number of significant structural changes. Given that the strategic management literature emphasizes an organization’s fit with its environment as an important determinant of performance, this study examines how strategic planning practices have changed over time. Data for this study was collected from Michigan agribusinesses at two time periods, 1992 and 2012. A comparative analysis indicates that Michigan agribusinesses have become larger, more diverse, and have increased their adoption of strategic planning activities. Furthermore, these practices were found to be positively correlated with performance.

description: Dans un contexte d’enchères séquentielles multi-unitaires, en information complète, on montre que le revenu du vendeur peut augmenter ou diminuer lorsque le nombre d’enchérisseurs augmente, et ce même si un des nouveaux enchérisseurs gagne un des objets. Nous avons recours à des données de l’enchère électronique du porc pour analyser empiriquement l’incidence d’enchérisseurs additionnel sur le prix moyen. Notre méthode d’estimation tient compte de l’endogénéité des invitations lancées à des abattoirs à l’extérieur du Québec. Nous avons identifié un effet négatif que nous expliquons par le fait que l’ajout d’enchérisseurs augmente la concurrence sur les derniers lots mis en vente, mais pas nécessairement sur les premiers......We first show in the context of sequential multi-unit auctions under complete information that a seller’s revenue may increase or decrease as the number of buyers increases, even when the additional bidders win an object. We use data from the Quebec daily hog auction to empirically analyze the effect of invitations extended to bidders from Ontario. Our estimation accounts for the endogenous timing of these rare invitations, but we nevertheless uncover a negative “invitation” effect. We attribute this anti-competitive effect to the fact that the addition of bidders increases competition in late rounds, but not necessarily in early ones.

description: Young stars emit strong flares of X-ray radiation that penetrate the surface layers of their associated protoplanetary disks. It is still an open question as to whether flares create significant changes in disk chemical composition. We present models of the time-evolving chemistry of gas-phase water during X-ray flaring events. The chemistry is modeled at point locations in the disk between 1 and 50 au at vertical heights ranging from the mid-plane to the surface. We find that strong, rare flares, i.e., those that increase the unattenuated X-ray ionization rate by a factor of 100 every few years, can temporarily increase the gas-phase water abundance relative to H can by more than a factor of $\sim3-5$ along the disk surface (Z/R $\ge$ 0.3). We report that a "typical" flare, i.e., those that increase the unattenuated X-ray ionization rate by a factor of a few every few weeks, will not lead to significant, observable changes. Dissociative recombination of H$_3$O$^+$, water adsorption and desorption onto dust grains, and ultraviolet photolysis of water and related species are found to be the three dominant processes regulating the gas-phase water abundance. While the changes are found to be significant, we find that the effect on gas phase water abundances throughout the disk is short-lived (days). Even though we do not see a substantial increase in long term water (gas and ice) production, the flares' large effects may be detectable as time varying inner disk water 'bursts' at radii between 5 and 30 au with future far infrared observations.

description: In the past two decades, high amplitude electromagnetic outbursts have been detected from dormant galaxies and often attributed to the tidal disruption of a star by the central black hole. X-ray emission from the Seyfert 2 galaxy GSN 069 (2MASX J01190869-3411305) at redshift z = 0.018 was first detected in 2010 July and implies an X-ray brightening of more than a factor of 240 over ROSAT observations performed 16 years earlier. The emission has smoothly decayed over time since 2010, possibly indicating a long-lived tidal disruption event. The X-ray spectrum is ultra-soft and can be described by accretion disc emission with luminosity proportional to the fourth power of the disc temperature during long-term evolution. Here we report observations of X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions from the nucleus of GSN 069 over the course of 54 days, 2018 December onwards. During these eruptions, the X-ray count rate increases by up to two orders of magnitude with event duration of just over 1 hour and recurrence time of about 9 hours. These eruptions are associated with fast spectral transitions between a cold and a warm phase in the accretion flow around a low-mass black hole (of approximately 4x10$^5$ solar masses) with peak X-ray luminosity of ~ 5x10$^{42}$ ergs per second. The warm phase has a temperature of about 120 eV, reminiscent of the typical soft X-ray excess, an almost universal thermal-like feature in the X-ray spectra of luminous active nuclei. If the observed properties are not unique to GSN 069, and assuming standard scaling of timescales with black hole mass and accretion properties, typical active galactic nuclei with more massive black holes can be expected to exhibit high-amplitude optical to X-ray variability on timescales as short as months or years.

description: We introduce the notion of a semi-Riemannian spectral triple which generalizes the notion of spectral triple and allows for a treatment of semi-Riemannian manifolds within a noncommutative setting. It turns out that the relevant spaces in noncommutative semi-Riemannian geometry are not Hilbert spaces any more but Krein spaces, and Dirac operators are Krein-selfadjoint. We show that the noncommutative tori can be endowed with a semi-Riemannian structure in this way. For the noncommutative tori as well as for semi-Riemannian spin manifolds the dimension, the signature of the metric, and the integral of a function can be recovered from the spectral data.

description: We develop an effective theory which describes black holes with quantum mechanical horizons that is valid at scales long compared to the Schwarzschild radius but short compared to the lifetime of the black hole. Our formalism allows one to calculate the quantum mechanical effects in scattering processes involving black hole asymptotic states. We point out that the EFT Wightman functions which describe Hawking radiation in the Unruh vacuum are not Planck suppressed and are actually {\it enhanced} relative to those in the Boulware vacuum, for which such radiation is absent. We elaborate on this point showing how the non-Planck suppressed effects of Hawking radiation cancel in classical observables.

Parental care in a sexually monomorphic, ground-nesting passerine, the Pink-billed Lark Spizocorys conirostris (Alaudidae)

description: Within the family Alaudidae, most monomorphic species exhibit some degree of biparental care, but direct paternal care in most species is confined to food provisioning to offspring during the nestling period. Uniquely, the genus Spizocorys is the only sexually monomorphic lark genus in which the majority of species exhibit biparental care in all stages of the breeding cycle, including incubation. Video observations were used to determine parental nest attentiveness, incubation and brooding duty partitioning, and food provision through the breeding stages of Pink-billed Lark Spizocorys conirostris. In this study we found that Pink-billed Larks exhibit biparental care in all stages of breeding, although the parental contributions differed subtly. Incubation nest attentiveness was on the lower limit for passerines with biparental care. Both male and female nest attentiveness were also well below the reported averages for biparental care in birds. There was no significant difference between the male and female incubation attentiveness, although the males had significantly longer recess-bouts. The results suggest that females are primarily responsible for incubation and brooding, with males fulfilling a supplementary role. Males, however, share the responsibility for food delivery and preferentially deliver invertebrate prey rich in proteins and calories. There is also a change in diet from predominantly insectivorous to a greater emphasis on granivory with progression of the nestling period.

description: The S-matrix invariant is known to be complete for translation invariant topological stabilizer models in two spatial dimensions, as such models are phase equivalent to some number of copies of toric code. In three dimensions, much less is understood about translation invariant topological stabilizer models due to the existence of fracton topological order. Here we introduce bulk commutation quantities inspired by the 2D S-matrix invariant that can be employed to coarsely sort 3D topological stabilizer models into qualitatively distinct types of phases: topological quantum field theories, foliated or fractal type-I models with rigid string operators, or type-II models with no string operators.

In particular, quantum integrals associated to Yetter-Drinfel'd modules are defined. Let A be an H-bicomodule algebra, $^H {\cal YD}_A$ be the category of (generalized) Yetter-Drinfel'd modules and $B$ the subalgebra of coinvariants of the Verma structure of $A$. We introduce the concept of quantum Galois extensions and we prove the affineness criterion in a quantum version.

Colotis annae hildebrandti staudinger, 1885

description: [Colotis annae hildebrandti Staudinger, 1885]
Larsen 1996: pl. 7, fig. 61 i. d’ Abrera 1997: 79 (6 figs).
 The taxon C. hildebrandti, formerly regarded as a separate species, has recently been demoted by Nazari et al. (2011) as a subspecies of C. annae (Wallengren, 1857).
 This taxon is not mentioned by Kielland (1990, p.58) from the northern highlands. Ackery et al. (1995) state that hildebrandti occurs in “Dry Acacia woodland in northern Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania and central Kenya ”, to which can be added Uganda (Talbot 1939, p.222) and southern Kenya – and there is a pair of this distinctive species from Taveta in the OUMNH. This probably represents the material recorded from Taveta by Rogers (1913, p.99) using the synonym Teracolus callidia Grose-Smith, 1886. Based on these Taveta records, this butterfly could well be a member of the lower slopes fauna, but it is not formally included here. This is probably the butterfly recorded by Aurivillius (1910a, p.11) as Teracolus annae Wallengren from the “Massaisteppe”, below Moshi.

description: Food retailers are particularly exposed to ethical scrutiny given their central position in the supply chain. One way for retailers to differentiate is by taking responsibility for what is being offered to the consumers, referred to as category management. This case focuses on one food product, the tiger shrimp. Corporate Social Responsibility offers an extended perspective of values and criteria for evaluating organizational performance, which is founded in economic, social and environmental aspects of corporate conduct. The case offers a unique perspective on how a traditional company rationalizes choices that go beyond maximizing pure profit objectives. Social media is a new mechanism being utilized for accountability and governance of stakeholder relationships.

description: We investigate the critical behavior of the entanglement transition induced by projective measurements in (Haar) random unitary quantum circuits. Using a replica approach, we map the calculation of the entanglement entropies in such circuits onto a two-dimensional statistical mechanics model. In this language, the area- to volume-law entanglement transition can be interpreted as an ordering transition in the statistical mechanics model. We derive the general scaling properties of the entanglement entropies and mutual information near the transition using conformal invariance. We analyze in detail the limit of infinite on-site Hilbert space dimension in which the statistical mechanics model maps onto percolation. In particular, we compute the exact value of the universal coefficient of the logarithm of subsystem size in the $n$th Rényi entropies for $n \geq 1$ in this limit using relatively recent results for conformal field theory describing the critical theory of 2D percolation, and we discuss how to access the generic transition at finite on-site Hilbert space dimension from this limit, which is in a universality class different from 2D percolation. We also comment on the relation to the entanglement transition in Random Tensor Networks, studied previously in Ref. 1.
