 Type material. the type from the Early Miocene of France is lost (Cahuzac et al., 2004)
 Discussion. Hölzl (1958) introduced disparstriata and gravecostata as variety names of Ventrilia trochlearis (Faujas, 1817) for shells from the Early Miocene of Bavaria. The preservation of that material is poor but the general shape and sculpture agree with French specimens of Ventrilia trochlearis (Faujas, 1817) as described by Peyrot (1928) and Cahuzac et al. (2004). For an illustration of the Paratethyan representatives see Hölzl (1958).
 Distribution. This species is widespread during the Early Miocene from the North East Atlantic to the Paratethys.
 North East Atlantic — Early Miocene: Aquitaine Basin (France: Aquitaine Basin).
 Proto –Mediterranean Sea —Burdigalian: Colli Torinesi: (Italy).
 Paratethys — Eggenburgian and Ottnangian: North Alpine Foreland Basin (Bavaria: Gernergraben, Kaltenbachgraben).

description: The origin of extended main sequence turnoffs (eMSTOs) in intermediate-age (1-3 Gyr) clusters is one of the most intriguing questions in current star cluster research. Unlike the split main sequences found in some globular clusters. which are caused by bimodal populations in age and/or chemical abundances, eMSTOs are believed to be owing to stellar rotation. We present a spectroscopic survey of MSTO stars in a nearby, intermediate-age (\unit[0.9]{Gyr}), low mass ($\sim 1.7\times10^3 M_\odot$) Galactic open cluster, NGC 5822. We derive a clean sample of member stars based on \textit{Gaia} proper motions and parallaxes and confirm the existence of an eMSTO. Using medium-resolution ($R\sim 4000$) Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) spectra, we derive the rotational velocities of 24 member stars (representing 20\% completeness around the eMSTO region) and find that the loci of the main sequence stars in the eMSTO region show a clear correlation with the projected rotational velocities in the sense that fast rotators are located on the red side of the eMSTO and slow rotators are found on the blue side. By comparison with a synthetic cluster model, we show that the stellar rotational velocities and the eMSTO of NGC 5822 can be well reproduced and we conclude that stellar rotation is the main cause of the eMSTO in NGC 5822.

 Type material. NHM Vienna (Austria); see below for details.
 Studied and illustrated material. Figs 10H 1–H 3: specimen illustrated in Hoernes and Auinger (1890, pl. 33, figs 12a–b), CoŞteiu de Sus (Romania), height: 26.0 mm, width: 20.7 mm, NHMW 1949/0003/0001, holotype by monotypy [note that the dimensions given in Hoernes & Auinger 1890 are incorrect].
 Description: A broad shell consisting of five moderately convex whorls with conspicuous sutural shelf. The sculpture is delicate and homogenous, consisting of about ten primary cords with an intercalated secondary spiral thread between each pair of primary cords; these secondaries are hard to distinguish on the base. The spiral cords cross slightly prosocline axial ribs of similar strength. The intersections of axial and spiral cords are muricid-like scalloped, being most pronounced along the shoulder. The cancellate sculpture passes into the wide and deep umbilicus. Two narrow columellar folds appear on the straight columella, parietal and columellar calluses are hardly developed, and numerous delicate lirae appear within the outer lip. The protoconch is poorly preserved but suggests a low shape.
 Discussion. The holotype of Cancellaria (Gulia) geslini (Bast.) var. ornatissima Boettger, 1906 represents a juvenile of Trigonostoma schroeckingeri and differs from the type only in its reduced axial sculpture. Janssen (1984a) considered Trigonostoma ornatissima (Boettger, 1906) as synonym of the Miocene North Sea species Trigonostoma apertum (Beyrich, 1856). He correctly interpreted the specimen illustrated by Zilch (1934) as juvenile specimen and stated that it resembles juveniles of T. apertum. The shell, which Hoernes and Auinger (1890) had at hand when describing their Trigonostoma schroeckingeri, is clearly an adult shell, which agrees in size to adult shells of T. apertum. Aside from some resemblance concerning the flat sutural shelf, both taxa, however, are clearly not conspecific. Trigonostoma schroeckingeri has a much higher spire and a higher last whorl. Its sculpture is much more delicate and the convexity of the whorls is weaker.
 Distribution. A rare species, which is known so far only from the early Badenian of the Transylvanian Basin.
 Paratethys —Badenian: Transylvanian Basin (Romania: CoŞteiu de Sus).

description: We discuss fermion zero modes within the 3+1 brain -- the domain wall between the two vacua in 4+1 spacetime. We do not assume relativistic invariance in 4+1 spacetime, or any special form of the 4+1 action. The only input is that the fermions in bulk are fully gapped and are described by nontrivial momentum-space topology. Then the 3+1 wall between such vacua contains chiral 3+1 fermions. The bosonic collective modes in the wall form the gauge and gravitational fields. In principle, this universality class of fermionic vacua can contain all the ingredients of the Standard Model and gravity.

description: The OLAM’s outgrower scheme in Nasarawa State was established in 2012 among rice farmers in three Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the State and represents one of three strategies adopted by the company to generate paddy supplies for its rice milling factory located in Rukubi, Nasarawa State. Other strategies are rice cultivation in a nucleus farm located near the factory and purchase of paddies in the open market. Over the last three years, the company has been able to process 18,000–30,000 metric tons of polished rice annually, compared to the mill’s capacity of 60,000 metric tons, yielding average capacity utilization rate of below 50%.

Probability Distribution Function of Cosmological Density Fluctuations from Gaussian Initial Condition: Comparison of One- and Two-point Log-normal Model Predictions with N-body Simulations

description: We quantitatively study the probability distribution function (PDF) of cosmological nonlinear density fluctuations from N-body simulations with Gaussian initial condition. In particular, we examine the validity and limitations of one-point and two-point log-normal PDF models against those directly estimated from the simulations. We find that the one-point log-normal PDF describes very accurately the cosmological density distribution even in the nonlinear regime (the rms variance σ_{nl} \simlt 4 and the over-density δ\simlt 100). Furthermore the two-point log-normal PDFs are also in good agreement with the simulation data from linear to fairly nonlinear regime, while slightly deviate from them for δ\simlt -0.5. Thus the log-normal PDF can be used as a useful empirical model for the cosmological density fluctuations. While this conclusion is fairly insensitive to the shape of the underlying power spectrum of density fluctuations P(k), models with substantial power on large scales, i.e., n\equiv d\ln P(k)/d \ln k \simlt -1, are better described by the log-normal PDF. On the other hand, we note that the one-to-one mapping of the initial and the evolved density fields consistent with the log-normal model does not approximate the broad distribution of their mutual correlation even on average. Thus the origin of the phenomenological log-normal PDF approximation still remains to be understood.

description: Beta-PtO2 is a useful transition metal dioxide, but its fundamental thermodynamic and elastic properties remain unexplored. Using first-principles calculations, we systematically studied the structure, phonon, thermodynamic and elastic properties of beta-PtO2. The lattice dynamics and structural stability of beta-PtO2 under pressure were studied using the phonon spectra and vibrational density of states. The vibrational frequencies of the optical modes of beta-PtO2 increase with elevating pressure; this result is comparable with the available experimental data. Then, the heat capacities and their pressure responses were determined based on the phonon calculations. The pressure dependence of the Debye temperature was studied, and the results are compared in two distinct aspects. The elastic moduli of beta-PtO2 were estimated through the Voigt-Reuss-Hill approximation. The bulk modulus of beta-PtO2 increases linearly with pressure, but the shear modulus is nearly independent of pressure. Our study revealed that the elastic stiffness coefficients C44, C55 and C66 play a primary role in the slow variation of the shear modulus.

description: Background: Metastatic disease in colorectal cancer represents a major cause of significant cancer-associated morbidity and mortality. L1CAM is a stem cell marker, cell adhesion molecule, belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules (IgCAM) and it is aberrantly expressed in several different types of human solid tumors. The aim of the present study was to assess the expression patterns of L1CAM and its clinical significance in colorectal cancer. Patients and methods: Surgical specimens of 109 patients with primary resectable colorectal cancer were examined for L1CAM expression via immunohistochemistry and the results were correlated with clinical and survival data. Results: L1CAM expression was significantly correlated with advanced stage of disease (p p = .040), the presence of lymph node (p p = .011). Patients displaying high L1CAM expression demonstrated a dismal three-year progression free survival (29.7% vs 87.1%, p p p p = .001) independent of other clinicopathological characteristics. Subgroup analysis comprised of patients with early stage disease only presented as well significantly worse progression free and overall survival when L1CAM exhibited high expression. Conclusions: Colorectal cancer patients displaying high expression of L1CAM harbor high risk for metastasis already in early stage disease identifying therefore a group of patients prone to dismal prognosis.

 The results include the long-known and well understood fundamental theorem of finitely
 generated abelian groups characterising the structure of finitely generated abelian groups as
 a uniquely determined product of cyclic groups. Both the invariant factor decomposition
 and the primary decomposition are covered. Additionally, some results from the field of
 character groups are included, as well as work on formalising the direct product, the internal

description: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has begun regulating existing stationary sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) using its authority under the Clean Air Act (the Act). The regulatory process under the Act is long and involved and raises the prospect that significant U.S. action might be delayed for years. This paper examines the economic implications of such a delay. We analyze four policy scenarios using an economic model of the U.S. economy embedded within a broader model of the world economy. The first scenario imposes an economy-wide carbon tax that starts immediately at $15 and rises annually at 4 percent over inflation. The second two scenarios impose different (and generally higher) carbon tax trajectories that achieve the same cumulative emissions reduction as the first scenario over a period of 24 years, but that start after an eight year delay. All three of these policies use the carbon tax revenue to reduce the federal budget deficit. The fourth policy imposes the same carbon tax as the first scenario but uses the revenue to reduce the tax rate on capital income. We find that by nearly every measure, the delayed policies produce worse economic outcomes than the more modest policy implemented now, while achieving no better environmental benefits.

description: Non-Hermitian classical and open quantum systems near an exceptional point (EP) are known to undergo strong deviations in their dynamical behavior under small perturbations or slow cycling of parameters as compared to Hermitian systems. Such a strong sensitivity is at the heart of many interesting phenomena and applications, such as the asymmetric breakdown of the adiabatic theorem, enhanced sensing, non-Hermitian dynamical quantum phase transitions and photonic catastrophe. Like for Hermitian systems, the sensitivity to perturbations on the dynamical evolution can be captured by Loschmidt echo and fidelity after imperfect time reversal or quench dynamics. Here we disclose a rather counterintuitive phenomenon in certain non-Hermitian systems near an EP, namely the deceleration (rather than acceleration) of the fidelity decay and improved Loschmidt echo as compared to their Hermitian counterparts, despite large (non-perturbative) deformation of the energy spectrum introduced by the perturbations. This behavior is illustrated by considering the fidelity decay and Loschmidt echo for the single-particle hopping dynamics on a tight-binding lattice under an imaginary gauge field.

description: This article discusses the potential benefits of an enhanced use of externality pricing schemes in the Asia Pacific. Prices on emissions and congestion could ameliorate the negative effects of underpriced resource use, be pro-poor, and improve fiscal capacities. The main implementation challenges are political and institutional. Lessons are drawn from recent experiences in environmental taxation and the removal of fossil fuel subsidies.

description: Objective: To investigate hearing aid owners’ decisions to attend or not to attend an annual hearing aid review (HAR) appointment. To investigate the possible factors associated with appointment attendance, including age, gender, transportation, travel time, and hearing aid outcomes. Design: A prospective cohort study. Potential participants were notified of their annual HAR appointment in the usual process employed by their clinic. Two months later, potential participants were identified as those who had attended and those who had not attended an appointment. Study sample: One hundred and twenty adult hearing aid users ranging in age from 26 to 100 (M = 74, SD = 11) years recruited from a single hearing clinic in Perth, Western Australia. Results: Factors found to be significantly associated with attendance at an annual HAR appointment included hearing aid funding source (government subsidised), participants valuing the importance and benefit of the appointment, and superior hearing aid outcomes. Conclusions: Within a controlled practice setting, appointment attendance is influenced by some factors modifiable by the clinician, including providing better education about the process and purpose of the HAR appointment. The value of the HAR appointment was emphasised by the positive association between better hearing aid outcomes HAR appointment attendance.
Towards Automated Biometric Identification of Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas)

description: Passive biometric identification enables wildlife monitoring with minimal disturbance. Using a motion-activated camera placed at an elevated position and facing downwards, we collected images of sea turtle carapace, each belonging to one of sixteen Chelonia mydas juveniles. We then learned co-variant and robust image descriptors from these images, enabling indexing and retrieval. In this work, we presented several classification results of sea turtle carapaces using the learned image descriptors. We found that a template-based descriptor, i.e., Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) performed exceedingly better during classification than keypoint-based descriptors. For our dataset, a high-dimensional descriptor is a must due to the minimal gradient and color information inside the carapace images. Using HOG, we obtained an average classification accuracy of 65%.

description: We have computed the eigenfrequencies of f-modes for a constant-rest-mass sequences of rapidly rotating relativistic inviscid stars in differential rotation. The frequencies have been calculated neglecting the metric perturbations (the relativistic Cowling approximation) and expressed as a function of the ratio between the rotational kinetic energy and the absolute value of the gravitational energy of the stellar model beta=T/|W|. The zeros and the end-points of these sequences mark respectively the onset of the secular instability driven by gravitational radiation-reaction and the maximum value of beta at which an equilibrium model exists. In differentially rotating stars the secular stability limits appear at a beta larger than those found for uniformly rotating stars. Differential rotation, on the other hand, also allows for the existence of equilibrium models at values of beta larger than those for uniformly rotating stars, moving the end-point of the sequences to larger beta. As a result, for some degrees of differential rotation, the onset of the secular instability for f-modes is generally favoured by the presence of differential rotation.

subject: technical progress

description: We construct a hybrid, economic indicator of the sustainability of global well-being, which is more inclusive than existing indicators and incorporates an environmentally pessimistic, physical constraint on global warming. Our methodology extends the World Bank’s Adjusted Net Saving (ANS) indicator to include the cost of population growth, the benefit of technical progress, and a much higher, precautionary cost of current CO2 emissions. Future warming damage is so highly unknowable that valuing emissions directly is rather arbitrary, so we use a novel, inductive approach: we modify damage and climate parameters in the deterministic DICE climate-economy model so it becomes economically optimal to control emissions in a way likely to limit warming to an agreed target, here 2°C. If future emissions are optimally controlled, our ANS then suggests that current global well-being is sustainable. But if emissions remain uncontrolled, our base-case ANS is negative now and our corresponding, modified DICE model has an unsustained development path, with well-being peaking in 2065. Current ANS on an uncontrolled path may thus be a useful heuristic indicator of future unsustainability. Our inductive method might allow ANS to include other very hard-to-value, environmental threats to global sustainability, like biodiversity loss and nitrogen pollution.

description: Early data on $K^-$ induced reactions off protons are collected and used in a coupled-channel partial wave analysis (PWA). Data which had been published in the form of Legendre coefficients are included in the PWA. In a {\it primary} fit using 3* and 4* resonances only, we observe some significant discrepancies with the data. In a systematic search for new $Λ$ and $Σ$ hyperon resonances, additional candidates are found. The significance of the known and of the additional resonances is evaluated. Seventeen resonances listed with 1* or 2* and one resonance listed with 3* in the Review of Particle Properties cannot be confirmed, five new hyperons are suggested. The partial-wave amplitudes deduced in this analysis are compared to those from other analyses.

description: This paper presents an enhanced version of the Vesica Piscis Quantum Fourier Transform (VP-QFT) quantum computing framework. By integrating our latest discoveries on structured quanta oscillations, inter-universal energy transfer, and toroidal time flow, 

We propose a quantum computing model that is: • Fully stable under gravitational and energy constraints. • Optimized for quantum coherence through structured wave reinforcement. • Capable of expanding computational depth dynamically using recursive quanta expansion. • Integrated with The Energy Flower model to achieve ultra-efficient quantum processing. 

This document refines the original VP-QFT concept and provides a detailed breakdown of how the model can be implemented for real-world quantum computing applications.
