description: Why did they leave their homeland in the Near East, and where were they headed ? Were they fleeing from an adverse climatic situation or were they being drawn by a favourable proposition – say trade prospects ? We do not know. Depending upon when this occurred, one of the two possibilities gains a higher credence. The study by Mascarenhas et al places the separation of the LPK and the KK clans at about 3,200 years ago, that is about 1,200 BCE; that could be the time the LPK clan separated from the rest of the sārasvat brāmhaṇ. But that does not tell us much about the timeline of the LPK journey. The authors of the above study presume that the sārasvat brāmhaṇ, the ancestors of both the LPK and the KK clans, first settled in the Sarasvatī basin prior to 4,000 BCE. Which means that they left their homeland before this. But here we need to note that Mascarenhas et al accept the identification of Sarasvatī with the Helmand-Arghandab rivers in Afghanistan. [Mascarenhas et al, 2015 :Genetic and Cultural Reconstruction of the Migration of an Ancient Lineage, BioMed Research International, Vol 2015, Article ID 651415, 2] The separation of the LPK and the KK clans took place before they left Afghanistan, by virtue of the fact that they travelled by two different routes – LPK by the southern route (through the Bolan pass) and KK by the northern route (through the Khyber pass). That implies that the sārasvat brāmhaṇ remained in Afghanistan from prior to 4,000 BCE to at least till 1,200 BCE. One conjecture would be that southern Afghanistan or eastern Iran itself was their homeland. In that case why did the KK travel north and then cross the Khyber pass to get into Punjab ? And why did the LPK cross the Bolan pass and travel to Sōraṭh post 1,200 BCE ? Could it be in search of fresh pastures for their herds ? Or could it be also for trade ?

Batracobdella algira

description: Batracobdella algira (Moquin­Tandon, 1846)
(Fig. 2A)
 Diagnosis: The body is dorsoventrally flattened. The dorsal surface is covered by papillae with three distinct longitudinal rows of larger papillae. The body colour is brown. The head bears two separate eyes. The caudal sucker is large. The genital pores are separated by two annuli and seven pairs of crop caeca are present.
 Habitat: Eurytopic species, found in many freshwater environments (drainage basins, oueds, springs, marshes...). An ectoparasitic association with the toad Amietophrynus mauritanicus (Schlegel, 1841) was noted by Ben Ahmed et al. (2014).
 Distribution:
 This species was described from Algeria. Viguier (1879) attributed this leech to the genus Batracobdella. Seurat (1922) recorded it under the name Helobdella algira from Algeria and Tunisia but without citing localities. It has been collected from the skin of several Amphibian Anura species (Discoglossus pictus, Pelopphylax ridibundus) and Urodeles (Hydromantes genei). Soỏs (1969) reported the following distribution: North Africa, Portugal, Spain, Balearic Islands, Corsica and the Crimean Peninsula. Minelli (1979) mentioned the same distribution, but added its presence in Sardinia. Nesemann & Neubert (1999) mentioned that this rare species is only known from North West Africa and from the western Mediterranean. They also noted that there are records from Morocco, Algeria, Portugal, Spain and Corsica. B. algira is widespread on the Iberian Peninsula, but not common.
 In Tunisia (Fig. 5E), B. algira was recorded by Blanchard (1908) under the name Helobdella algira in Jendouba governorate in the valley of El Lebga (Aïn Drahem). Ben Ahmed et al. (2008a) reported it from North East Tunisia in Nabeul governorate (Lebna drainage basin) and Ben Ahmed et al. (2008b) from Beja governorate (Aïn El Goussa, 36.44N, 9.11E). In the present study we add several new records for the country: Nabeul governorate: Port Prince drainage basin, 36.51162 N, 10.39404 E; drainage basin Tebouda El Haouria, 37.3.0 N, 11.0.36E; Marsh sidi Ameur in El Haouria, 37.3.0 N, 11.0.33 E; Bizerte governorate: Ichkeul, 37.11255N, 09.34953E; Beja governorate: Aïn Zaga (Nefza), 36.58965N, 09.569329E; Siliana governorate: Aïn Tejra (Baten ezreyeb) 36.26N, 09.43E; El kef governorate: Marsh Elkhalsa (Sers), 35.95437N, 09.17461E; Kairouan governorate: El khadhra drainage basin, 36.1668N, 10.06214E; and Aïn Rouissat, 35.47229 N, 09.51176 E; Jendouba governorate: Marsh, 36.57N, 08.54E); for the first time in the south of the country: Tozeur governorate: Chbika (37.1912N, 7.55588E) and Tamaghza (34.2248N, 7.570E).

description: The study presents a time-series analysis of field-standardized average impact of Italian research compared to the world average. The approach is purely bibliometric, based on census of the full scientific production from all Italian public research organizations active in 2001-2006 (hard sciences only). The analysis is conducted both at sectorial level (aggregated, by scientific discipline and for single fields within disciplines) and at organizational level (by type of organization and for single organizations). The essence of the methodology should be replicable in all other national contexts. Its offers support to policy-makers and administrators for strategic analysis aimed at identifying strengths and weaknesses of national research systems and institutions.

Placobdella costata

description: Placobdella costata (F. Müller, 1846)
(Fig. 2D)
 Diagnosis: P. costata is a flattened species. The colour of living specimens is green to brown. Seven longitudinal rows of numerous papillae are present on the dorsal face. The mouth pore is situated on the anterior rim of the cranial sucker. The latter bears two unseparated eyes. The crop has seven pairs of crop caeca and the genital pores are separated by two annuli.
 Habitat: Found in small groups under rocks and under various objects such as plastic bottles. It colonizes several habitats (drainage basins, oueds and springs...). An ectoparasitic association with the turtle Emys orbicularis was noted (Ben Ahmed & Tekaya 2009).
 Distribution: P. costata was described from the Crimean Peninsula, under the name Clepsine costata. Rousseau (1912) recorded it from Southern Europe (France, Italy and Crimean Peninsula). Soỏs (1969) recorded that this species is widely distributed in Europe (except North and Northwest Europe) and North Africa. Minelli (1979) found it in Italy (Rome, Sassari and Padova). In the Middle East, this species has been recorded from Lake Hula in Israel (Bromley 1989). Nesemann & Neubert (1999) have characterized P. costata as a Mediterranean species extending eastwards to the Ukraine, south­eastwards to Greece, Turkey and the Levant, and to the southern Arabian Peninsula. In West and Central Europe, this species was recorded from southern England, the Netherlands, Poland and Germany (Nesemann & Neubert 1999). Recently, Sağlam (2001) collected P. costata in discharge channels at Elazig in Turkey, which correspond to the first record for the country. More recently, Vamberger & Trontelj (2007) recorded it for the first time in Slovenia.
 In Tunisia (Fig. 5C), this species was collected by Henri Gadeau de Kerville in Jendouba governorate: the valleys of el Omor (Tabarka) and El Lebga (Aïn Drahim), being identified by Blanchard (1908) as Placobdella catenigera. Ben Ahmed et al. (2008a) have recorded it in Nabeul governorate (Lebna drainage basin). In this paper, we add its presence in a new locality of this later governorate: Port Prince drainage basin (36.51162 N, 10.39404E); in a marsh in Jendouba governorate (36.30N, 8.47E) and in a source in El Kef governorate (36.1056N, 8.4253E).

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We numerically study a particle in a box with moving walls. In the case where the walls are oscillating sinusoidally with small amplitude, we show that states up to the fourth state can be populated with more than 80 percent population, while higher-lying states can also be selectively excited. This work introduces a way of controlling quantum systems which does not rely on (dipole) selection rules.

description: The effects of forest fragmentation on ecosystems are pervasive, but little is known about the factors that influence lizard abundance in fragmented landscapes. We studied the roles of patch size and shape, thermal quality, and refuge availability as predictors of the relative abundance of Psammodromus algirus lizards at deciduous or evergreen forest fragments surrounded by cereal fields. Relative abundance, based on time-controlled counts, decreased from the northeast (dominated by deciduous habitat) to the southwest (with a higher cover of croplands, and dominated by evergreen habitat). Refuge availability was correlated with this gradient, decreasing from the northeast to the southwest and being larger in deciduous than in evergreen fragments. After controlling for the effects of this environmental variation, lizard abundance increased as perimeter-to-area ratio (P/A) decreased (and consequently as fragment size increased). Although the effects of thermal quality as such were negligible, our results can be interpreted in the light of thermoregulatory requirements; given the low temperatures available at shaded locations, lizards should actively select sunlit patches while they try to minimize predation risk by basking as close as possible to the nearest refuge. Although use of fragment edges as basking sites is expected to increase with P/A ratio, lizards should avoid using them as basking sites, because both exposure to predators and risk of overheating are expected to be higher at edges and croplands than inside fragments. We conclude that long and narrow forest strips with high P/A ratios could act as ecological traps rather than as dispersion-promoting corridors.

(Fig. 3A,C)
 Diagnosis: The colour of living animals is grass green. The dorsal surface shows six longitudinal bands of orange and black spots. The venter is greenish to yellow with large black spots. Laterally, there are two marginal longitudinal zigzag lines. This species has three muscular jaws. The anterior sucker has a parabolic arc of 10 eyespots and the genital gonopores are separated by five annuli.
 Habitat: Found under stones and other submerged objects. It seems to prefer drainage basins and marshes. It was not found in springs.
 Distribution: Seurat (1922) recorded it from Algeria (in Mitidja) and reported its presence in Spain, Portugal and Italy (Sardinia).
 In Tunisia (Fig. 5G), Blanchard (1908) recorded this species in two localities in the North West of the country Tabarka and Aïn Drahim (Jendouba governorate). Hetchel & Sawyer (2002) recorded it in North Africa (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia). Ben Ahmed et al. (2008a) collected this species from a new locality in Tunisia in Nabeul governorate: Lebna drainage basin. In the present study, we add new records in this later governorate: Aïn Oued Edheb (El Haouria); drainage basin Tebouda (37.30N, 11.036E) and Marsh sidi Ameur (37.3.0N, 11.0.33E) and we report its presence for the first time in Jendouba governorate (Marsh in Fernena) and in the south of the country: governorate of Tozeur (Chbika, 37.1912 N, 7.55588 E); Tamaghza (34.2248N, 7.570E).

Origin of Galactic and Extragalactic Magnetic Fields

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A variety of observations suggest that magnetic fields are present in all galaxies and galaxy clusters. These fields are characterized by a modest strength (10^{-7}-10^{-5} G) and huge spatial scale (~Mpc). It is generally assumed that magnetic fields in spiral galaxies arise from the combined action of differential rotation and helical turbulence, a process known as the alpha-omega dynamo. However fundamental questions concerning the nature of the dynamo as well as the origin of the seed fields necessary to prime it remain unclear. Moreover, the standard alpha-omega dynamo does not explain the existence of magnetic fields in elliptical galaxies and clusters. The author summarizes what is known observationally about magnetic fields in galaxies, clusters, superclusters, and beyond. He then reviews the standard dynamo paradigm, the challenges that have been leveled against it, and several alternative scenarios. He concludes with a discussion of astrophysical and early Universe candidates for seed fields.

description: Social networking sites such as Instagram provide users with numerous social comparison cues, potentially leading to envy and lower self-esteem. We conducted two experiments, examining whether such negative consequences could be mitigated by brief cognitive interventions. In Experiment 1 (N = 391), we reminded users of the unrealistic nature of most Instagram posts in a 2 (intervention: disclaimer vs. control) × 2 (Instagram profile: upward vs. downward comparison standard) between-subjects design. Positive and negative affect, envy, self-esteem, and well-being served as dependent variables. Experiment 2 (N = 184) explored whether slightly longer cognitive interventions (“cognitive bias” vs. “growth mindset” vs. control) could improve participants’ experience of upward comparisons, shielding them against envy or the loss of self-esteem. Both experiments included social comparison orientation (SCO) as a potential moderator. Results show that eliciting upward comparisons indeed evoked more envy, with SCO moderating the effect. We further observed indirect effects of the shown Instagram profiles on positive affect, envy, self-esteem, and well-being via participants’ social comparison experience. Concerning the cognitive interventions, however, we report that neither an authoritative disclaimer, nor educating users about cognitive biases or mindsets significantly reduced the negative consequences of social comparisons.

description: Recent theorizing posits that parents and their children influence each other, and that media use is a locus of such mutual influence. Two surveys of LGBTQ 18- and 19-year-olds (N = 276; N = 369, the latter a replication) tested hypotheses that LGBTQ teens use media to socialize their parents about their sexual and gender identities, and that these uses elicit parental responses which have implications for the teen. In both studies, teens reported co-viewing and mediating their parents’ exposure to LGBTQ content (i.e., encouraging positive exposure, discouraging negative exposure, critiquing/explicating depictions) and indicated that such moments sometimes elicited conversations about their own sexual or gender identities. In both studies, their perceptions of their parents’ receptivity to these interactions varied widely. In both studies, teens’ LGBTQ-media-related behavior and perceptions of parental receptivity were positively associated with perceptions that their parents supported their LGBTQ identity. Perceived receptivity (in Study 1) and perceived support for the teens’ LGBTQ identities (in Study 2) were associated with teens’ self-esteem and depressive symptoms. Overall, despite some inconsistencies between the two studies and the limitations of cross-sectional data, the findings are consistent with mutual influence.

description: The Saffman-Taylor problem addresses the morphological instability of an interface separating two immiscible, viscous fluids when they move in a narrow gap between two flat parallel plates (Hele-Shaw cell). In this work, we extend the classic Saffman-Taylor situation, by considering the flow between two curved, closely spaced, concentric spheres (spherical Hele-Shaw cell). We derive the mode-coupling differential equation for the interface perturbation amplitudes and study both linear and nonlinear flow regimes. The effect of the spherical cell (positive) spatial curvature on the shape of the interfacial patterns is investigated. We show that stability properties of the fluid-fluid interface are sensitive to the curvature of the surface. In particular, it is found that positive spatial curvature inhibits finger tip-splitting. Hele-Shaw flow on weakly negative, curved surfaces is briefly discussed.

description: In Dynamic Ensemble Selection (DES) techniques, only the most competent classifiers are selected to classify a given query sample. Hence, the key issue in DES is how to estimate the competence of each classifier in a pool to select the most competent ones. In order to deal with this issue, we proposed a novel dynamic ensemble selection framework using meta-learning, called META-DES. The framework is divided into three steps. In the first step, the pool of classifiers is generated from the training data. In the second phase the meta-features are computed using the training data and used to train a meta-classifier that is able to predict whether or not a base classifier from the pool is competent enough to classify an input instance. In this paper, we propose improvements to the training and generalization phase of the META-DES framework. In the training phase, we evaluate four different algorithms for the training of the meta-classifier. For the generalization phase, three combination approaches are evaluated: Dynamic selection, where only the classifiers that attain a certain competence level are selected; Dynamic weighting, where the meta-classifier estimates the competence of each classifier in the pool, and the outputs of all classifiers in the pool are weighted based on their level of competence; and a hybrid approach, in which first an ensemble with the most competent classifiers is selected, after which the weights of the selected classifiers are estimated in order to be used in a weighted majority voting scheme. Experiments are carried out on 30 classification datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that the changes proposed in this paper significantly improve the recognition accuracy of the system in several datasets.

A plot of $ν\frac{2S}{N-1}$ as a function of $2S$ for a constant number of particles (up to N=10001) exhibits structure of the fractional quantum Hall effect. It is confirmed that $ν_e +ν_h=1$ for all particle-hole conjugate systems, except systems with $N_e =N_h$, and $N_e=N_h \pm 1$.

description: In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic ensemble selection framework using meta-learning. The framework is divided into three steps. In the first step, the pool of classifiers is generated from the training data. The second phase is responsible to extract the meta-features and train the meta-classifier. Five distinct sets of meta-features are proposed, each one corresponding to a different criterion to measure the level of competence of a classifier for the classification of a given query sample. The meta-features are computed using the training data and used to train a meta-classifier that is able to predict whether or not a base classifier from the pool is competent enough to classify an input instance. Three different training scenarios for the training of the meta-classifier are considered: problem-dependent, problem-independent and hybrid. Experimental results show that the problem-dependent scenario provides the best result. In addition, the performance of the problem-dependent scenario is strongly correlated with the recognition rate of the system. A comparison with state-of-the-art techniques shows that the proposed-dependent approach outperforms current dynamic ensemble selection techniques.

description: A primordial stochastic background of very weakly coupled massless (pseudo-)scalars can seed CMB anisotropy, when large-scale fluctuations of their stress-tensor re-enter the horizon during the matter-dominated era. A general relation between multipole coefficients of the CMB anisotropy and the seed's energy spectrum is derived. Magnitude and tilt of the observed anisotropies can be reproduced for the nearly scale-invariant axion spectra that are predicted in a particularly symmetric class of string cosmology backgrounds.

description: Due to the high prevalence of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), it has become standard practice to prescribe antibiotics to patients with a UTI in Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF), even if they are asymptomatic. This approach, however, has led to higher rates of antibiotic-resistant conditions. The project systemically examined the effectiveness of clinical measures to prevent and treat recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (rUTIs) among SNF residents. It developed and implemented clinical guidelines to improve the prevention of rUTIs and reduce the rate to less than 5% within three months. In addition, a nurse feedback survey was administered at the end of the study. The aim was to measure nurses’ perceptions of the new proposed guideline. The results indicate that the nursing staff perception is positive, given that 85% of participants reported that the proposed guideline was easy to use. The project identifies the value of training staff on revised UTI guidelines. It offers recommendations that will constitute the foundations of a pilot clinical guideline framework that can be used in the SNF setting.
Polaron effective mass from Monte Carlo simulations
Creators: name: Kornilovitch, P. E.
name: Pike, E. R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new Monte Carlo algorithm for calculating polaron effective mass is proposed. It is based on the path-integral representation of a partial partition function with fixed total quasi-momentum. Phonon degrees of freedom are integrated out analytically resulting in a single-electron system with retarded self-interaction and open boundary conditions in imaginary time. The effective mass is inversely proportional to the covariance of total energy calculated on an electron trajectory and the square distance between ends of the trajectory. The method has no limitations on values of model parameters and on the size and dimensionality of the system although large statistics is required for stable numerical results. The method is tested on the one-dimensional Holstein model for which simulation results are presented.

description: Dina punctata maroccana Nesemann & Neubert, 1994
(Fig. 4B)
 Diagnosis: The colour of living specimens varies from greenish brown to blackish. The dorsum is covered with prominent yellow spots and by small papillae and, thus, appears rough. Each somite is divided into five annuli; the first four are short and the fifth is long. The body is dorso­ventrally flattened. The eyes are arranged in four pairs, as in the nominate subspecies. The gonopores are separated by two annuli.
 Habitat: This leech was found in a stream. It is semi­aquatic, with behaviour similar to that of D. punctata punctata. The associated fauna includes planarians (Dugesia sicula (Lepori, 1948)), gastropods and isopods.
 Distribution: Dina punctata maroccana was previously known only from Morocco (Nesemann & Neubert, 1994).
 In Tunisia (Fig. 6B), it has recently been reported by Ben Ahmed et al. (2013) from one station: Aïn Ennfeja (24 km before Séjnene) in Bizerte governorate (37.02291N, 09.26219E).

 Brachysomus kratkyi Białooki, 2007: 154. T ype locality: Hungary, Mátraszőlős env.
 Redescription. For redescription details see Białooki (2007).
 Diagnosis. This species is very similar to B. hispidu s and differs by the sparse, very narrow recumbent scales, erect setae 3x shorter than width of interstriae and wider median lobe. From B. fremuthi it differs by the robust antennal funicle and more swollen scape, the very narrow and sparse recumbent scales on the elytra and pronotum. The shape of the median lobe is generally as in B. fremuthi but the endophallic sclerite is larger and longer and the parameres are divided at the base. The shape of the spermatheca is variable and similar to B. hispidu s, with the ramus moderately small. From B. subnudus it differs by the broad median lobe (including apodemes 5.7x as long as wide).
 Distribution. Hungary.

description: We compactify the abelian 6d (1,0) tensor multiplet on a circle bundle, thus reducing the theory down to 5d SYM while keeping all the KK modes. This abelian classical field theory, when interpreted suitably, has a nonlocal superconformal symmetry. Furthermore, a nonabelian generalization, where all the KK modes are kept, is possible for the nonlocal superconformal symmetry, whereas for the local superconformal symmetry we can only realize a subgroup.

 Diagnosis: The colour of living specimens is black. Four dark narrow longitudinal stripes are visible in the smooth dorsal surface. The area between the inner paramedian stripes is less pigmented than the rest. Lateral keels are present. The ventral surface is pale grey. Annulation: somites with eight annuli, the first two of which are short, followed by three longer ones and another three short annuli. Head is with four pairs of eyes. The gonopores are separated by two annuli.
 Habitat: This species prefers stagnant water or slow running rivers or brooks. It occurs mainly in the higher regions of northern Tunisia (805–868 m asl.). The specimens were found attached to the underside of rocks and stones and underneath the dead leaves of Quercus suber .
 Distribution: It has been discovered in Tunisia (in a stream near Hammam Bourguiba, a mountain stream between Thibar and Téboursouk and in a mountain stream near Ded Melah, Béja governorate) and from one locality in Algeria published as Dina lineata by Johansson (1914). In the present study we add its presence in 3 other stations in governorate of Jendouba: Parc ElFaïja, Oued Chobit Elméé, 36.30173N, 08.19080E; Oued Elfaïja, Jendouba, 36.48634N, 08.30773 E; Aïn Soltane, Jendouba, 36.31266N, 08.20157E.

description: Determining the electronic properties of nanoscopic, low-dimensional materials free of external influences is key to discovery and understanding of new physical phenomena. An example is the suspension of graphene, which has allowed access to their intrinsic charge transport properties. Furthermore, suspending thin films enables their application as membranes, sensors, or resonators, as has been explored extensively. While the suspension of covalently-bound, electronically-active thin films is well established, semiconducting thin films composed of functional molecules only held together by van-der-Waals interactions could only be studied supported by a substrate. In the present work, it is shown that by utilizing a surface-crystallization method, electron conductive films with thicknesses of down to 6nm and planar chiral optical activity can be freely suspended across several hundreds of nm. The suspended membranes exhibit a Young's modulus of 2 to 13 GPa and are electronically decoupled from the environment, as established by temperature dependent field-effect transistor measurements.

description: COVID-19 caused meat processing plant shutdowns, increasing public concern regarding the current processing system. We identify numerous issues and limitations to provide the basis for a discussion about the challenges of increasing local and smallscale processing. These include labor, inspection availability, rendering services, capital, waste management/environmental, water, liability and throughput consistency issues. The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry received $10 million in grants for the Food Supply Stability Plan for Oklahoma meat processors. This work examines the potential impact of an increased number of local meat processors, and the incentives created by Oklahoma to encourage such actions.
