Psalida

description: 463. Psalida Rondani, 1856: 76.
 ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Psalida leucostoma Rondani, 1856 (as “ Tachina Leucostoma Mgn. ”).
 TYPE SPECIES: Psalida leucostoma Rondani, 1856 (as “ Tachina Leucostoma Mgn. ”) [= Ocyptera simplex Fallén, 1815, new synonymy], by original designation.
 CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Leucostoma Meigen, 1803 [teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 419)].
FAMILY: TACHINIDAE.
 REMARKS: Rondani (1856: 76) designated “ Tachina leucostoma Mgn. ” as the type species; however, there is no such name in Tachinidae. Brauer (1893: 495) interpreted the intended species as Ocyptera simplex Fallén, 1815 (“Genus Psalida Rdi. — Type: simplex Fll. ”), as have subsequent authors. There are criteria in Rondani (1856: 76) to make available both the genus-group name Psalida and the speciesgroup name Psalida leucostoma Rondani, 1856 (as “ Tachina Leucostoma Mgn. ”; the singly included species). The species listed by Rondani (1856: 76) as “ Tachina Leucostoma Mgn. ” is actually Psalida leucostoma Rondani, 1856, a junior synonym of Ocyptera simplex Fallén, 1815 (teste this work).
 [Psalidomya] Rondani, 1866b: 50 [1867a: 134].
 CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of Psalidomyia Doumerc, 1833.
FAMILY: COELOPIDAE.
REMARKS: Criteria for making this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in these works.

description: This article explores the roles, in the public space, of women who are left behind by international migration. The qualitative research was employed. Data collection process conducted in Sakon Nakhon Province with the 26 wives whose husbands migrated at least a year to work in other countries. The results showed that wives who left behind by international migration played major roles in village development activities and community merit making, after receiving their overseas remittance. These activities led them to become loan lenders and labour brokers. Their new positions provided more opportunities to be a politician at the local level.

description: Phosphorene, a single layer of black phosphorous (BLK-P), has a significant potential for flexible and tunable electronics, but attempts to grow it epitaxially have been unsuccessful to date. Meanwhile, hexagonal blue phoshorous (BL-P) has been achieved on closed-packed (111) metal surfaces in special growth conditions of high vapor pressure and high reactivity of phosphorous. The (111) surfaces favors BL-P over BLK-P due to its hexagonal symmetry. Here, we investigate computationally the alternative offered by stepped substrates. Using the Cu(311) surface as a model, we find that surface steps can favor energetically BLK-P over BL-P. This can be rationalized in terms of surface density of states and orbital hybridization, which lead to a stronger surface bonding of the lower BLK-P half-layer. This work suggests that vicinal metal surfaces of metals can offer a viable path towards phosphorene synthesis.

description: Anodic oxidation of recalcitrant organic compounds is still challenging concerning to the anode material and mass transport limitations imposed by the low concentration. In this work, we studied the degradation of a real wastewater containing glyphosate using an electrode of PbO2 electrodeposited on a three-dimensional matrix of reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC). The high mass transfer rate provided by the RVC/PbO2 anode is demonstrated. A Box–Behnken factorial design was used for a systematic analysis of the effects of current density, flow rate and temperature on the degradation and mineralisation kinetics, current efficiency and specific energy consumption. The optimised degradation performance was achieved applying 30 mA cm−2, 3000 mL min−1 and 50°C. As the flow rate increases from 150 to 1500 mL min−1, the current efficiency increases from 18% to 65% and the energy consumption dropped from 72 to 33 kWh kg−1 due to the mass transfer enhancement promoted by the porous matrix. The efficacy of the electrochemical process for the treatment of real effluents using the three-dimensional PbO2 has been demonstrated.

description: We study M-theory on two classes of manifolds of Spin(7) holonomy that are developing an isolated conical singularity. We construct explicitly a new class of Spin(7) manifolds and analyse in detail the topology of the corresponding classical spacetimes. We discover also an intricate interplay between various anomalies in M-theory, string theory, and gauge theory within these models, and in particular find a connection between half-integral G-fluxes in M-theory and Chern-Simons terms of the N=1, D=3 effective theory.

description: Additional file 8: Supplemental Figure 8. There is no evidence that Escherichia coli in piglets were inherited from the maternal gut. A neighbor-joining phylogeny was reconstructed using 34 E. coli strains extracted from the shotgun metagenomic sequencing data from piglets and sows likely harboring only a single E. coli strain. Three sets of E. coli from different piglet-sow sets are highlighted in orange, cyan, and red. For example, highlighted in orange, the 3 piglets born to Sow 214 share similar E. coli genotypes, but immediately prior to birth (Day 114), the sow’s gut harbored a very different E. coli genotype. Similarly, in cyan, Sow 4074 and her piglet harbor different E. coli genotypes. Finally, in red, three piglets of Sow 1962 harbor E. coli genotypes with a most recent common ancestor at the root of the phylogeny. E. coli was chosen because it is the microbe found in the highest abundance across both sows and piglets, thus providing the deepest coverage of strains.

description: Coir pith glucose syrup beads were used as a supporter in a biofilter system. The modified coir pith beads provided a carbon source and controlled humidity for microorganism growth for long-term operation without external nutrient supplementation. For the screening, Bacillus spp. were immobilised on coir pith beads and used for benzene bioremediation. The result showed that coir pith beads immobilised with B. megaterium can remove on average 85-100% of the benzene (215-day operation). In addition, B. megaterium presented the ability to transform benzene to catechol. For an up-scaled application, a 25-L biofilter system was developed and tested in a closed 24-m3 container re-injected with 0.6 ppm benzene for 8 cycles. The system presented the ability to remove 100% of the benzene. This biofilter has the potential to be applied in a real benzene-contaminated site.

description: The present study had the objective to investigate the equilibrium, kinetics, thermodynamic viability and system optimization of methylene blue (MB) and eriochrome black T (ET) biosorption onto Fucus vesiculosus (F. vesiculosus). A comprehensive bioadsorbent characterization was carried out. The infrared spectra suggested a physical biosorption mechanism that was later proven by the enthalpy change and the isotherms models. Furthermore, the process was best described by Langmuir and Temkin isotherm models, indicating the monolayer formation and the linear reduction of the heat of biosorption with the coverage degree. F. vesiculosus presented a maximum biosorption capacity of 698.477 mg·g−1 for MB, and 24.306 mg·g−1 for ET. Regarding kinetics, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was the best fitted model. In addition, the film diffusion was confirmed as the process limiting step. The model’s optimization was achieved in order to maximize the removal efficiency, corresponding to 99.28% for MB and 99.44% for ET.

description: This study explores the potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models, specifically OpenAI's generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) series, when integrated with building information modeling (BIM) tools as an interactive design assistant for architectural design. The research involves the development and implementation of three key components: 1) BIM2XML, a component that translates BIM data into extensible markup language (XML) format; 2) Generative AI-enabled Interactive Architectural design (GAIA), a component that refines the input design in XML by identifying designer intent, relevant objects, and their attributes, using pre-trained language models; and 3) XML2BIM, a component that converts AI-generated XML data back into a BIM tool. This study validated the proposed approach through a case study involving design detailing, using the GPT series and Revit. Our findings demonstrate the effectiveness of state-of-the-art language models in facilitating dynamic collaboration between architects and AI systems, highlighting the potential for further advancements.

description: In this paper we investigate the security of a quantum cryptographic scheme which utilizes balanced homodyne detection and weak coherent pulse (WCP). The performance of the system is mainly characterized by the intensity of the WCP and postselected threshold. Two of the simplest intercept/resend eavesdropping attacks are analyzed. The secure key gain for a given loss is also discussed in terms of the pulse intensity and threshold.

description: Mass-spring networks (MSNs) have long been used as approximate descriptions of many biological and engineered systems, from actomyosin networks to mechanical trusses. In the last decade, MSNs have re-attracted theoretical interest as models for phononic metamaterials with exotic properties such as negative Poisson's ratio, negative effective mass, or gapped vibrational spectra. A practical advantage of MSNs is their tuneability, which allows the inverse design of materials with pre-specified bandgaps. Building on this fact, we demonstrate here that designed MSNs, when subjected to Coriolis forces, can host topologically protected chiral edge modes at predetermined frequencies, thus enabling robust unidirectional transmission of mechanical waves. Similar to other recently discovered topological materials, the topological phases of MSNs can be classified by a Chern invariant related to time-reversal symmetry breaking.

description: Topologically stable nontrivial spin structures, such as skyrmions and antiskyrmions, display a large topological Hall effect owing to their quantized topological charge. Here, we present the finding of a large topological Hall effect beyond room temperature in the tetragonal phase of a Mn-Ni-Ga based ferrimagnetic Heusler shape memory alloy system. The origin of the field induced topological phase, which is also evidenced by the appearance of dips in the ac-susceptibility measurements, is attributed to the presence of magnetic antiskyrmions driven by D2d symmetry of the inverse Heusler tetragonal phase. Detailed micromagnetic simulations asserts that the antiskyrmionic phase is stabilized as a result of interplay among inhomogeneous Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, the Heisenberg exchange, and the magnetic anisotropy energy. The robustness of the present result is demonstrated by stabilizing the antiskyrmion hosting tetragonal phase up to a temperature as high as 550 K by marginally varying the chemical composition, thereby driving us a step closer to the realization of ferrimagnetic antiskyrmion based racetrack memory.

description: Presented here are high angular resolution MERLIN 5 GHz (6 cm) continuum observations of the binary proplyd system, LV 1 in the Orion nebula, which consists of proplyd 168--326SE and its binary proplyd companion 168--326NW (separation 0.4 arcsec). Accurate astrometric alignment allows a detailed comparison between these data and published HST PC Halpha and [Oiii] images. Thermal radio sources coincide with the two proplyds and originate in the ionized photoevaporating flows seen in the optical emission lines. Flow velocities of approx 50 km/s from the ionized proplyd surfaces and \geq 100 km/s from a possible micro-jet have been detected using the Manchester Echelle spectrometer. A third radio source is found to coincide with a region of extended, high excitation, optical line emission that lies between the binary proplyds 168--326SE/326NW . This is modelled as a bowshock due to the collision of the photoevaporating flows from the two proplyds. Both a thermal and a non-thermal origin for the radio emission in this collision zone are considered.

description: Brane-world singularities are analysed, emphasizing the case of supergravity in singular spaces where the singularity puzzle is naturally resolved. These naked singularities are either time-like or null, corresponding to the finite or infinite amount of conformal time that massless particles take in order to reach them. Quantum mechanically we show that the brane-world naked singularities are inconsistent. Indeed we find that time-like singularities are not wave-regular, so the time-evolution of wave packets is not uniquely defined in their vicinity, while null singularities absorb incoming radiation. Finally we stress that for supergravity in singular spaces there is a topological obstruction, whereby naked singularities are necessarily screened off by the second boundary brane.

description: This paper introduces GlOttal-flow LPC Filter (GOLF), a novel method for singing voice synthesis (SVS) that exploits the physical characteristics of the human voice using differentiable digital signal processing. GOLF employs a glottal model as the harmonic source and IIR filters to simulate the vocal tract, resulting in an interpretable and efficient approach. We show it is competitive with state-of-the-art singing voice vocoders, requiring fewer synthesis parameters and less memory to train, and runs an order of magnitude faster for inference. Additionally, we demonstrate that GOLF can model the phase components of the human voice, which has immense potential for rendering and analysing singing voices in a differentiable manner. Our results highlight the effectiveness of incorporating the physical properties of the human voice mechanism into SVS and underscore the advantages of signal-processing-based approaches, which offer greater interpretability and efficiency in synthesis.

description: Low and unstable crop production has been a chronic problem of agriculture int eh dry region of Rajasthan, which is spread over 11 north-western districts and covers nearly three-fifth of the State. This paper after briefly reviewing the weather variability, the principal source of crop instability in the region, discusses the yield variability of the principal crops of the dry region. This is followed by a discussion of certain other features of crop instability, which tend to reduce the effectiveness of the measures adopted by the desert farmers to minimize the impact of instability and uncertainty in arid agriculture. The crop yield data fro 15 to 17 years pertaining to 11 arid districts of Rajasthan have been used.

description: The green revolution as visible in part of the country has generated confidence for the attainment of self-sufficiency on the food front in the very near future. With the introduction of High-Yieling Varieties Programme not only the productivity per acre but also the productivity per unit of time could substantially be raised through adherence to multiple cropping programme. However, the most limiting factor which stands in the way of the exploitation of this opportunity on a wider scale is the non-availability of assured irrigation facilities. About 75 percent of the total cropped area int he country is rain-fed. Also there exists diversity in the magnitude of rain fall from one area to another. This necessitates that proper attention should be given for examining the resouce use efficiency of farmers in rain fed areas. Even in rain-fed areas rainfall distribution is uneven. This requires a study of the agro-economic factors responsible for the poor performance of agriculture in such rain-fed areas for corrective Government measures to ameliorate the farming conditions and to sustain the agricultural growth. This study is an attempt in this direction withs pecial reference to the Banda district of the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. The specific objectives of the study are (i) to study the cropping patter in the region; and (ii) to estimate the input-output relationship and the resource productivity and to examine the resource use efficiency in the area.

description: In Quantum Mechanics operators must be hermitian and, in a direct product space, symmetric. These properties are saved by Lie algebra operators but not by those of quantum algebras. A possible correspondence between observables and quantum algebra operators is suggested by extending the definition of matrix elements of a physical observable, including the eventual projection on the appropriate symmetric space. This allows to build in the Lie space of representations one-parameter families of operators belonging to the enveloping Lie algebra that satisfy an approximate symmetry and have the properties required by physics.

description: The present study had the objective to investigate the equilibrium, kinetics, thermodynamic viability and system optimization of methylene blue (MB) and eriochrome black T (ET) biosorption onto Fucus vesiculosus (F. vesiculosus). A comprehensive bioadsorbent characterization was carried out. The infrared spectra suggested a physical biosorption mechanism that was later proven by the enthalpy change and the isotherms models. Furthermore, the process was best described by Langmuir and Temkin isotherm models, indicating the monolayer formation and the linear reduction of the heat of biosorption with the coverage degree. F. vesiculosus presented a maximum biosorption capacity of 698.477 mg·g−1 for MB, and 24.306 mg·g−1 for ET. Regarding kinetics, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was the best fitted model. In addition, the film diffusion was confirmed as the process limiting step. The model’s optimization was achieved in order to maximize the removal efficiency, corresponding to 99.28% for MB and 99.44% for ET.

description: Background: Eribulin provided significant overall survival (OS) benefit in heavily pretreated advanced breast cancer patients in the EMBRACE trial. We investigated the use of eribulin in daily clinical practice, the relative effectiveness of eribulin versus non-eribulin chemotherapy, and the safety of eribulin in real-world patients included in the SOutheast Netherlands Advanced BREast cancer (SONABRE) registry. Material and methods: Patients treated with eribulin and eligible patients for eribulin who received a different chemotherapy (i.e., non-eribulin group) in ten hospitals in 2013–2017 were included. A multivariate matching algorithm was applied to correct for differences in baseline characteristics between the groups, including the number of previous treatment lines. Progression-free survival (PFS) and OS of eribulin were compared with the matched non-eribulin group through Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models. The occurrence of dose delay and reduction was described. Results: Forty-five patients received eribulin according to its registration criteria and 74 patients were eligible for eribulin but received non-eribulin chemotherapy. Matching increased the similarity in baseline characteristics between the eribulin and non-eribulin groups. Median PFS was 3.5 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 2.7–5.5) in the eribulin group and 3.2 months (95% CI: 2.0–4.8) in the matched non-eribulin group (adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 0.83, 95% CI: 0.49–1.38). Median OS was 5.9 months (95% CI: 4.6–11.0) and 5.2 months (95% CI: 4.6–9.5) in the eribulin and non-eribulin groups, respectively (adjusted HR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.38–1.13). Dose delay or reduction occurred in 14 patients (31%) receiving eribulin. Conclusions: No difference in PFS and OS was observed between eribulin and non-eribulin treated patients. Eribulin had a manageable toxicity profile.

description: LaMnO$_3$ is considered as a prototypical Jahn-Teller perovskite compound, exhibiting a metal to insulator transition at $T_{JT} = 750K$ related to the joint appearance of an electronic orbital ordering and a large lattice Jahn-Teller distortion. From first-principles, we revisit the behavior of LaMnO$_3$ and show that it is not only prone to orbital ordering but also to charge ordering. Both charge and orbital orderings appear to be enabled by rotations of the oxygen octahedra and the subtle competition between them is monitored by a large tetragonal compressive strain, that is itself a Jahn-Teller active distortion. Equally, the competition of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic orders is slave of the same tetragonal strain. Our results further indicate that the metal to insulator transition can be thought as a Peierls transition that is enabled by spin symmetry breaking. Therefore, dynamical spin fluctuations in the paramagnetic state stabilize the insulating phase by the instantaneous symmetry breaking they produce and which is properly captured from static DFT calculations. As a basis to our discussion, we introduce canonical notations for lattice distortions in perovskites that distort the oxygen octhedra and are connected to charge and orbital orderings.

Subjects: Economics

description: The purpose of this paper is to find out the impact of the adoption of IFRS on the practice of earnings management. It provides empirical results using panel data from 2000 to 2018 of the 19,869 firm-year observations of available data from 791 Canadian firms based on the Modified Jones model. The result of our study supports that there is the existence of earnings management practice. The overall result was negative but not significant suggesting adopting IFRS has no direct influence on earnings management used among publicly listed firms. In addition, this paper examined the influence of firm factors (independent variables) of leverage, return on assets, and enrings growth, the interaction variables of IFRS adoption on earnings management. Obtained results in this paper indicate the interaction variable of IFRS adoption is positively related with earnings management, but not significant, suggesting that adopting IFRS has no direct influence on earnings management used among publicly listed firms.

description: After the Preliminary Design Review, the Calibration Unit of MORFEO, the Multiconjugate adaptive Optics Relay for ELT Observations,underwentacompletedesignoverhaul. This process was aimed at the mitigation of some critical aspects of the manufacturing,both in terms of optics and mechanics.While its optical configuration proved to be the best choice to meet the system requirements, especially on externalinterfaces, a slightly different layout has been investigated. By changing the displacement of the large beam splitters and applying small changes to a few optical elements, it would be possible to obtain a significant increase in the overall optical quality, for both the NGS and LGS arms. Moreover, some important modification to the mechanics could actually decrease the complexity of the assemblies and adjustments, also allowing a better accessibility to the system from all sides, thus facilitating the MAIT operations. We present an overview of the new layout of the MORFEO CU.

description: Degradation of OTC under different light with Fe2+/C2O42− was investigated, and the reaction mechanism was also discussed. Although Fe(II/III)-C2O42− complex could weaken the inhibitory effect of Fe(II/III)-OTC complex on the detection of OTC by HPLC, the acidification could make inhibition become minimal. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the Fe2+/C2O42− dosage at low concentrations of Fe2+ and H2C2O4. When the OTC concentration was 0.04 mM, the optimal dosage was OTC:Fe2+:H2C2O4 = 1:1.25:2 to attain a removal rate of 80% after 60 min under simulated solar light, and HO• for degradation of OTC with Fe2+/C2O42+ could be 53%, furthermore, removal rate of OTC just increased 3 percentage points at 60 min when the simulated solar light changed into UV-254 nm, however, OTC could also be degraded for 48.89% removal rate after 3 h illumination of simulated visible light. The influence of Cl−, CO32−, HCO3−, NO3−, NO2−, or H2PO4− on the degradation of OTC with Fe2+/C2O42− under simulated solar light was studied. NO2− could inhibit degradation for NO2− could react with free radicals, but the reason of inhibition of degradation by HCO3−, or CO32− was its influence on pH, whereas Cl−, NO3− and H2PO4− had no influence on degradation. In addition, when the concentration of CO32− was higher than 4 mM, CO32− could promote the degradation for the direct photolysis of OTC at alkaline (pH > 10). Four products were detected by LC-MS, and the OTC degradation pathway was discussed.

description: We consider a class of separately convex phase field energies employed in fracture mechanics, featuring non-interpenetration and a general softening behavior. We analyze the time-discrete evolutions generated by a staggered minimization scheme, where fracture irreversibility is modeled by a monotonicity constraint on the phase field variable. After recasting the staggered scheme by means of gradient flows, we characterize the time-continuous limits of the discrete solutions in terms of balanced viscosity evolutions, parametrized by their arc-length with respect to the L2-norm (for the phase field) and the H1-norm (for the displacement field). By a careful study of the energy balance we deduce that time-continuous evolutions may still exhibit an alternate behavior in discontinuity times.

description: Human activities are increasingly leading to overuse of surface water and nonrenewable groundwater, challenging the capacity of water resources to ensure food security and continuous growth of the economy. Adaptation policies targeting specifically water security can easily overlook its interaction with other sustainability metrics and unanticipated local responses to the larger-scale policy interventions. Using a recently developed global partial equilibrium, grid-resolving model, nick-named SIMPLE-on-a-Grid and coupling it with the global Water Balance Model, we simulate the impacts of reducing unsustainable irrigation water withdrawals on land use change and food supply, under a variety of future (2050) scenarios with and without adaptations. Comparisons are made among three policy interventions: inter-basin water transfers, investments in agricultural productivity-enhancing technologies, and the promotion of virtual water trade. Although each of these scenarios affects regional food supply in a similar fashion, their implications for land cover change, carbon emissions and global food security are quite different. By allowing for a systematic comparison of these alternative adaptations to future scarcity, the global gridded modeling approach offers unique insights into the multiscale nature of the water scarcity challenge.

description: Information Communication Technology (ICT) plays an active role in the tourism industry. The application and integration of ICT are essential for the success of a tourism enterprise. ICT assists the individual in an enterprise to access information on the World Wide Web in a single click which changes the traditional brick and mortar travel agency operations. Even with the emergence of Technology 50 years ago, Small Medium Enterprises are reluctant to operate and adopt Technology Applications for Technological and Non-Technological Reasons. The study used an adapted research instrument from Davis (1989) and Turban et al. (2008). Principal respondents are the accredited travel agencies in Cebu City as of 2017. Using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) of Davis (1989), respondents perceived that ICT is useful regarding accomplishing the task quickly, increase productivity and effectiveness and it is easy to use regarding operating and interacting ICT. Respondents would probably use the technology in the workplace for sales and marketing and to recommend the technology to others for Business Operations. However, there is no significant relationship on the ease of use (PEOU) and usefulness to the in the Intention to use. This means that the respondents may or may not adopt ICT because of Non Technological and Technological Reasons.
