description: The intensification of agriculture has led an important loss of natural habitats, with significant consequences for biodiversity. In this sense, the studies on anuran amphibian tadpoles inhabiting these environments are relevant, because the larval stage is a phase of population regulation. The aim of this study was to analyze the diet in Physalaemus biligonigerus tadpoles, an anuran species widely distributed in South America and that inhabit agroecosystems. Three sites were sampled; two agroecosystems with different alteration degrees (AG1 and AG2) and an uncultured (SM) third place. The captured tadpoles were anesthetized, fixed and preserved in formaldehyde (10%). Subsequently, the complete intestine was removed and analyzed for food items under a binocular microscope. The diet in P. biligonigerus tadpoles has a dominance of algae Bacillariophyceae, mainly in agroecosystems, due to the presence of the genera Navicula, Nitzschia and Gomphonema. There was a considerable abundance of the Gomphonema genus in the AG2 site. In addition, in the AG1 site several non-diatom algae were particularly abundant in the diet, such as the genera Euglena, Oedogonium and Chaetophora. In the SM site, the non-diatom genus Oscillatoria was well represented in the diet. Tadpoles inhabiting the site with abundant crop and livestock (AG1) ingested a significantly smaller amount of food. The presence of certain algae associated with eutrophic environments could indicate some pollution in agroecosystems (AG1 and AG2). Larval diet is suggested as a potential bioindicator of environmental health for these areas.

description: We show a power 2.5 separation between bounded-error randomized and quantum query complexity for a total Boolean function, refuting the widely believed conjecture that the best such separation could only be quadratic (from Grover's algorithm). We also present a total function with a power 4 separation between quantum query complexity and approximate polynomial degree, showing severe limitations on the power of the polynomial method. Finally, we exhibit a total function with a quadratic gap between quantum query complexity and certificate complexity, which is optimal (up to log factors). These separations are shown using a new, general technique that we call the cheat sheet technique. The technique is based on a generic transformation that converts any (possibly partial) function into a new total function with desirable properties for showing separations. The framework also allows many known separations, including some recent breakthrough results of Ambainis et al., to be shown in a unified manner.

description: In this paper, we develop a distributed monitoring framework for robot swarms so that the agents can monitor whether the executions of robot swarms satisfy Swarm Signal Temporal Logic (SwarmSTL) formulas. We define generalized moments (GMs) to represent swarm features. A dynamic generalized moments consensus algorithm (GMCA) with Kalman filter (KF) is proposed so that each agent can estimate the GMs. Also, we obtain an upper bound for the error between an agent's estimate and the actual GMs. This bound is independent of the motion of the agents. We also propose rules for monitoring SwarmSTL temporal and logical operators. As a result, the agents can monitor whether the swarm satisfies SwarmSTL formulas with a certain confidence level using these rules and the bound of the estimation error. The distributed monitoring framework is applied to a swarm transporting supplies example, where we also show the efficacy of the Kalman filter in the dynamic generalized moments consensus process.
Going out tonight? When insular Hierophis viridiflavus breaks the Whip Snakes Rules

description: Hierophis viridiflavus has a strong diurnal rhythm as demonstrated by many field studies. It belongs to the “Whip snakes” characterized by slender bodies, large eyes, high speed, saurophagy and diurnality. On Giraglia island (Corsica) the snakes do forage also nightly. This unexpected shift in the circadian rhythm might be related to a local adaptation to trophic requirements.

description: Background: Endometriosis affects 2.5-3.3% of reproductive age women and is a common diagnosis among women with chronic pelvic pain. Treatment for endometriosis ranges from conservative medical therapies to radical surgery. Endometriosis is an indication for 25-35% of laparoscopies and 10-15% of hysterectomies each year. Although the majority of women with endometriosis respond to conservative medical therapy, those with persistent pain often undergo hysterectomy. However, there exists limited data on the contribution of disease specific (e.g. stage of endometriosis) versus non-specific (e.g. biopsychosocial) factors on treatment outcomes (e.g. clinical pain report). We sought to investigate these factors at baseline as well as short and long term follow-up intervals for surgical endometriosis patients. Objective: To evaluate the contribution of disease specific versus biopsychosocial factors on surgical treatment outcomes at 1-year and 3-6 years post-surgery for endometriosis.

description: The life history of a population of marbled whiptail lizard, Aspidoscelis marmorata, was examined from 1989 to 1994 in the sand dunes of the Biosphere Reserve of Mapimí, in Northern México. Lizards were studied using mark-recapture techniques. Reproduction in females occurred between May and August, with birth hatchlings matching the wet season in August. Reproductive activity was highest in the early wet season (July). Males and females reached adult size class at an average age of 1.7 years and 1.8 years, respectively. Body size of males attained an asymptote around 90 mm snout-vent length and females around 82 mm snout-vent length, at an age of approximately 3.6 years and 3.0 years, respectively. The density varied from 7 to 85 individuals / 1.0 ha. The Mexican population had late maturity, relatively long life expectancy, and fewer offspring. Overall, the observed data for A. marmorata and the expectations of life history theory for a late maturing species (K-rate selection) are in agreement.

description: The so-called Born-Huang ansatz is a fundamental tool in the context of ab-initio molecular dynamics, viz., it allows to effectively separate fast and slow degrees of freedom and thus treating electrons and nuclei at different mathematical footings. Here we consider the use of a Born-Huang-like expansion of the three-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation to separate transport and confinement degrees of freedom in electron transport problems that involve geometrical constrictions. The resulting scheme consists of an eigenstate problem for the confinement degrees of freedom (in the transverse direction) whose solution constitutes the input for the propagation of a set of coupled one-dimensional equations of motion for the transport degree of freedom (in the longitudinal direction). This technique achieves quantitative accuracy using an order less computational resources than the full dimensional simulation for a prototypical two-dimensional constriction.

description: The use of gold nanoparticles for hyperthermia therapy in near infrared (NIR) spectral regions has catalysed substantial research efforts due to the potential impact in clinical therapy applications. However, the photoscattering effect scaling with the square of the nanoparticle volume leads to a low absorption efficiency, which has hindered the utility of gold nanoparticles in NIR II regions above 1000 nm. Here, we conquer this limit by introducing hyperbolic metamaterial nanoparticles that are made of multi-layered gold/dielectric nanodisks and exhibit >70% absorption efficiency in the NIR II and III regions. Their high light-to-heat conversion is demonstrated by a much larger temperature increase than that of gold nanodisks with the same amount of gold. Efficient in vitro hyperthermia of living cells with negligible cytotoxicity shows the potential of our approach for next-generation bio-medical applications.

description: This work is concerned with approximating a trivariate function defined on a tensor-product domain via function evaluations. Combining tensorized Chebyshev interpolation with a Tucker decomposition of low multilinear rank yields function approximations that can be computed and stored very efficiently. The existing Chebfun3 algorithm [Hashemi and Trefethen, SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 39 (2017)]uses a similar format but the construction of the approximation proceeds indirectly, via a so called slice-Tucker decomposition. As a consequence, Chebfun3 sometimes uses unnecessarily many function evaluations and does not fully benefit from the potential of the Tucker decomposition to reduce, sometimes dramatically, the computational cost. We propose a novel algorithm Chebfun3F that utilizes univariate fibers instead of bivariate slices to construct the Tucker decomposition. Chebfun3F reduces the cost for the approximation in terms of the number of function evaluations for nearly all functions considered, typically by 75%, and sometimes by over 98%.

Recent cryptic extinction of squamate reptiles on Yoronjima Island of the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan, inferred from garbage dump remains

description: We report recent skeletal remains of squamate reptiles screened from an old garbage dump deposit found on Yoronjima Island, a small island of the Ryukyu Archipelago, in the subtropical northwestern Pacific. Identified remains include at least three species of terrestrial snakes, one sea snake, and seven species of lizards. Among these, the Ryukyu Short-legged Skink, Ateuchosaurus pellopleurus; Kuroiwa’s Leopard Gecko, Goniurosaurus kuroiwae; and one unidentified Gekko species constitute entirely new findings. For a further two snake species and one lizard species, the evidence presented here is the first specimen-based documentation that these species existed on this island, where they are now evidently absent. The present absence of these species on Yoronjima is mainly attributable to predation by the Japanese Weasel, Mustela itatsi, introduced in the mid-1950s. Our results demonstrate a prominent case of recent, sizable deterioration of insular herpetofaunal diversity, which has never been documented with certainty in the Ryukyu Archipelago, and suggest that human influence should be taken into account in biodiversity research in this area.

Publisher: name: Acta Herpetologica

description: Many species of amphibians have suffered serious population declines. Several factors contribute separately or jointly to these declines. However, the reduction of an available habitat due to human expansion is still the main cause, and roads are a major mean for this expansion. Both the construction phase and the subsequent use of roads have negative consequences for amphibians. We reviewed the literature on the subject within the Neotropical context. To this end, the paper begins with a summary of recent reviews and proceeds through an analysis of sampling methods used in roadkill studies, mitigation measures and the Neotropical scenario and concludes with several suggestions to guide future studies. More attention will be given to roadkills, which is one of the primary impacts on wildlife that is caused by roads. Even in the Neotropical zone most studies are foot-based, the richness and abundance of amphibians affected are higher in regions outside the Neotropics. One possible explanation is that in the other regions, the proportion of studies exclusively on amphibians is bigger. Regarding mitigation measures, most studies only indicates what should be used, but do not implement or evaluate their effectiveness.

description: Understanding the mechanism of metabolic digestion and of food assimilation in wild snake species is of fundamental importance to compare trophic niches, their adaptive significance and evolutionary patterns of diet selection for different snake species. From two adult Hierophis viridiflavus males in fasting condition, we sampled gastric fluids using fiberoptic endoscopy. We analyzed the proteolytic activities (optimal pH and temperature, response to inhibitors) of snake samples by zymography techniques. The two major protease activity bands were always detected at every tested pH. Activity bands were also detectable over 37 °C; in particular both bands showed the highest activity ranging from 55 °C to 60 °C. Ranging from 65 °C to 85 °C, one band remained visible while the other band disappeared over 60 °C. The pattern of proteolytic enzymes activity of sampled gastric fluids highlighted a scenario composed of few active proteases, reflecting the feeding status (e.g., fasting) of studied snakes. Detection of proteolytic activity until 85 °C, as in prokaryotic organisms, supported the hypothesis about the presence of proteases of exogenous source.

description: In male-larger species of animals, males typically continue to grow after the age of female sexual maturation has been reached. Consequently, a switch of energy allocation occurs as the female investment from growth is shifted into egg production. We focus on the transitional period when both sexes heavily invest into anabolic processes; males invest in the development of body tissues while females predominantly invest in egg production. In captive mangrove-dwelling monitor lizards, we found that relative food intakes as well as quantitative estimates of anabolic processes (relative growth and egg production rates) are fairly comparable between the sexes. In spite of this biochemical clinical values and body condition indices revealed sex differences suggesting costs of reproduction in females. These results clearly illustrate that growth and egg production still substantially differ in associated physiological costs. This may be attributed to qualitative requirements (nutrients, minerals, etc.) of these processes. Our results correspond well with the higher susceptibility and mortality rates of females than males in many lizard species in captivity.

description: This paper analyzes and compares different deep learning loss functions in the framework of multi-label remote sensing (RS) image scene classification problems. We consider seven loss functions: 1) cross-entropy loss; 2) focal loss; 3) weighted cross-entropy loss; 4) Hamming loss; 5) Huber loss; 6) ranking loss; and 7) sparseMax loss. All the considered loss functions are analyzed for the first time in RS. After a theoretical analysis, an experimental analysis is carried out to compare the considered loss functions in terms of their: 1) overall accuracy; 2) class imbalance awareness (for which the number of samples associated to each class significantly varies); 3) convexibility and differentiability; and 4) learning efficiency (i.e., convergence speed). On the basis of our analysis, some guidelines are derived for a proper selection of a loss function in multi-label RS scene classification problems.

description: We study the fluctuations of certain biorthogonal ensembles for which the underlying family \{P,Q\} satisfies a finite-term recurrence relation of the form $x P(x) = \mathbf{J}P(x)$. For polynomial linear statistics of such ensembles, we reformulate the cumulants' method introduced by Soshnikov in terms of counting lattice paths on the graph of the adjacency matrix \mathbf{J}. In the spirit of Breuer-Duits, we show that the asymptotic fluctuations of polynomial linear statistics are described by the right-limits of the matrix \mathbf{J}. Moreover, whenever the right-limit is a Laurent matrix, we prove that the CLT is equivalent to Soshnikov's main combinatorial lemma. We discuss several applications to unitary invariant Hermitian random matrices. In particular, we provide a general Central Limit Theorem (CLT) in the one-cut regime. We also prove a CLT for square singular values of product of independent complex rectangular Ginibre matrices. Finally, we discuss the connection with the Strong Szegő theorem where this combinatorial method originates.

description: A new microhylid frog of the genus Paradoxophyla is described from the rainforests of northeastern Madagascar (Masoala). Paradoxophyla tiarano n. sp. was found in still waters within rainforest. In external morphology it is similar to P. palmata, hitherto the only known species belonging to this genus, but it differs by a much less extended foot webbing. We also provide a description of the probable tadpole of the species, which is a specialized suspension feeder of the typical microhylid type. The new species also differs from P. palmata in karyology and mitochondrial dNA sequences. Paradoxophyla tiarano n. sp. is currently known from Masoala, but we suspect that its distribution might extend over a wider area in northeastern Madagascar.

description: Instead of scalar tensor gravity models which is applicable for description of cosmic inflation with unknown dark sector of matter/energy, at presentense there are presented different alternative scalar tensor vector gravities where meaningful dynamical vector fields can support cosmic inflation well without to use dark matter/energy concept. One of these gravity models was presented by Moffat which its modified Schwarzschild black hole solution is used to study thermodynamic phase transition in presence of the AdS space pressure in this article. To do so we obtained an equation of state which asymptotically reaches to equation of state of ideal gas for large black holes but for small scale black holes we obtained a critical point at phase space where the black hole can be exhibit with a phase transition at processes of isotherm and isobaric. By looking at diagrams of the Gibbs free energy and the heat capacity at constant pressure which are plotted versus the temperature and the specific volume one can see an inflection point which means that the phase transition is type of second order. In fact there is small to large phase transition for the black hole which is equivalent to the Van der Waals liquid-gas phase transition in ordinary thermodynamic systems. The phase transition is happened below the critical point in phase space when the gravitational charge of the black hole is equal to its mass.

description: A recently-introduced function $ρ$ of spacetime event $P$ expressing spacetime as made of 'spacetime atoms' of quantum origin is considered. Using its defining relation, we provide an exact expression for $ρ$ involving the van Vleck biscalar, and show it can be recast in terms of the extrinsic curvature of suitable equi-geodesic surfaces centered at $P$. Moreover, looking at the role $ρ$ plays in the statistical description of spacetime, we point out that this quantity should actually be understood as counting the quantum states of the collection of spacetime atoms rather than counting directly the spacetime atoms themselves (or the degrees of freedom associated to them), and would correspond to the ratio of the number of quantum states 'at $P$' for an assigned spacetime configuration to the number of quantum states for flat spacetime.

description: For accurate line-by-line modeling of molecular cross sections several physical processes "beyond Voigt" have to be considered. For the speed-dependent Voigt and Rautian profiles (SDV, SDR) and the Hartmann-Tran profile the difference $w(i z_-)-w(i z_+)$ of two complex error functions (essentially Voigt functions) has to be evaluated where the function arguments $z_\pm$ are given by the sum and difference of two square roots. These two terms describing $z_\pm$ can be huge and the default implementation of the difference can lead to large cancellation errors. First we demonstrate that these problems can be avoided by a simple reformulation of $z_-$. Furthermore we show that a single rational approximation of the complex error function valid in the whole complex plane (e.g. by Humlicek, 1979 or Weideman, 1994) enables computation of the SDV and SDR with four significant digits or better. Our benchmarks indicate that the SDV and SDR functions are about a factor 2.2 slower compared to the Voigt function, but for evaluation of molecular cross sections this time lag does not significantly prolong the overall program execution because speed-dependent parameters are available only for a fraction of strong lines.

description: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a relatively common intervention for individuals with Parkinson's Disease, used to alleviate tremor especially when medication is no longer effective on its own (Niketeghad, Nedrud, Hanrahan & Mahoor, 2014). Insertion of electrodes can occur at multiple cortical sites, with the subthalamic nucleus being one of the most commonly used in clinical practice as well as one of the most researched locations. While providing remarkable results in the management of tremor, STN-DBS does not restore prior neurophysiological function and has been associated with unwanted side effects involving speech and swallowing which impact overall quality of life (Guehl et al., 2006; Hammer et al., 2011; Klostermann et al., 2008; Ostergaard & Sunde, 2005). To ameliorate these undesirable side effects, researchers have manipulated different DBS parameter settings including: frequency, amplitude/voltage, and electrical current customization.

description: We redefine the transition function of elementary cellular automata (ECA) in terms of discrete operators. The operator representation provides a clear hint about the way systems behave both at the local and the global scale. We show that mirror and complementary symmetric rules are connected to each other via simple operator transformations. It is possible to decouple the representation into two pairs of operators which are used to construct a periodic table of ECA that maps all unique rules in such a way that rules having similar behavior are clustered together. Finally, the operator representation is used to implement a generalized logistic extension to ECA. Here a single tuning parameter scales the pace with which operators iterate the rules. We show that, as this parameter is tuned, many rules of ECA undergo multiple phase transitions between periodic, locally chaotic, chaotic and complex (Class 4) behavior.
Short path length corrections to Djordjevic-Gyulassy-Levai-Vitev energy loss

description: We compute the correction to the energy loss of a hard parton due to short separation distances between the creation of the particle and the in-medium scattering center that stimulates bremsstrahlung radiation, to first order in opacity. In deriving the result we make full use of the large formation time assumption, which results in a significant reduction of the number of diagrams contributing to the small separation distance correction. An asymptotic analysis of our small separation distance correction term finds that the correction dominates at large $\sim 100$ GeV parent parton energies; scales like $L$ with the size of the system for small $L$, but like $L^0$ at larger $L$; and breaks color triviality. An extensive numerical investigation of the correction term confirms the aforementioned analytic findings, reveals that the correction term does not go to zero for large $L$, finds that the correction is sensitive to the mass of the parent parton, and shows a crucial dependence of the energy loss on a proper treatment of the physics of separation distances on the order of the Debye screening length. However, an examination of the large formation time approximation shows that it is violated for much of the phase space of the emitted radiation, implying a need to investigate the sensitivity of jet quenching results from relaxing this approximation. Our result constitutes an important step toward understanding partonic energy loss in small colliding systems.

description: The authors report on predation by salmonid fish on some reptile species in two tributaries of the Tanaro river in the Alessandria province (NW Italy). The remains of Podarcis muralis, Anguis fragilis and of an undetermined colubrid of the genus Natrix were found in bromatological analyses performed on 117 Oncorhynchus mykiss specimens. Salmonid predation on herpetofauna once again confirms the alimentary opportunism of these fishes; however, predation is an occasional phenomenon and not a threat to the local reptile populations.

description: Motivated by quantum field theoretic partition functions that can be expressed as products of tau functions of the KP hierarchy we attach several types of local geometric Langlands parameters to quivers in the Sato Grassmannian. We study related questions of Virasoro constraints, of moduli spaces of relevant quivers, and of classical limits of the Langlands parameters.

description: Estimating the effective geographical ranges of species is central to species-oriented conservation and management. In this paper, we review the geographical distribution of Liolaemus elongatus Koslowsky, 1896 with three new records for northern Chubut and southern Río Negro provinces, Argentina. Based on detailed locality records pooled from multiple data sources, including new records obtained for this study, we revise the range of L. elongatus sensu stricto and provide geographical distribution maps comparing the previously recognized range to that proposed herein. Our results show that L. elongatus possesses a much more limited geographic distribution than previously thought, being restricted to areas south of 38°S latitude; the newly proposed range is merely half the species formerly recognized geographical distribution.

description: A model involving Gaussian processes (GPs) is introduced to simultaneously handle multi-task learning, clustering, and prediction for multiple functional data. This procedure acts as a model-based clustering method for functional data as well as a learning step for subsequent predictions for new tasks. The model is instantiated as a mixture of multi-task GPs with common mean processes. A variational EM algorithm is derived for dealing with the optimisation of the hyper-parameters along with the hyper-posteriors' estimation of latent variables and processes. We establish explicit formulas for integrating the mean processes and the latent clustering variables within a predictive distribution, accounting for uncertainty on both aspects. This distribution is defined as a mixture of cluster-specific GP predictions, which enhances the performances when dealing with group-structured data. The model handles irregular grid of observations and offers different hypotheses on the covariance structure for sharing additional information across tasks. The performances on both clustering and prediction tasks are assessed through various simulated scenarios and real datasets. The overall algorithm, called MagmaClust, is publicly available as an R package.
