Biology and notes. Toxomerus duplicatus is a native species probably associated with crops in transverse valleys and ravines.A specimen identified as T. duplicatus in the MNHNCL is an individual belonging to Allograpta hortensis. Throughout this study we did not find museum specimens or collected specimens of this species. Thus, there is not enough evidence for the species to actually occur in Chile and it should be considered as a doubtful record.
Conservation status. Not evaluated because this species is a doubtful record for Chile.

description: Stochastic learning to rank (LTR) is a recent branch in the LTR field that concerns the optimization of probabilistic ranking models. Their probabilistic behavior enables certain ranking qualities that are impossible with deterministic models. For example, they can increase the diversity of displayed documents, increase fairness of exposure over documents, and better balance exploitation and exploration through randomization. A core difficulty in LTR is gradient estimation, for this reason, existing stochastic LTR methods have been limited to differentiable ranking models (e.g., neural networks). This is in stark contrast with the general field of LTR where Gradient Boosted Decision Trees (GBDTs) have long been considered the state-of-the-art. In this work, we address this gap by introducing the first stochastic LTR method for GBDTs. Our main contribution is a novel estimator for the second-order derivatives, i.e., the Hessian matrix, which is a requirement for effective GBDTs. To efficiently compute both the first and second-order derivatives simultaneously, we incorporate our estimator into the existing PL-Rank framework, which was originally designed for first-order derivatives only. Our experimental results indicate that stochastic LTR without the Hessian has extremely poor performance, whilst the performance is competitive with the current state-of-the-art with our estimated Hessian. Thus, through the contribution of our novel Hessian estimation method, we have successfully introduced GBDTs to stochastic LTR.

Periacma Meyrick, 1894: 21.
Type species: Periacma ferialis Meyrick, 1894
Diagnosis. Periacma is similar to Irepacma Moriuti, Saito & Lewvanich, 1985, Ripeacma Moriuti, Saito & Lewvanich, 1985 and Epiracma Wang & Li, 2005 by sharing a two-segmented labial palpus. Periacma can be distinguished from Ripeacma by the absence of the transtilla, from Irepacma by the presence of the short and setose dorso-proximal process of the valva, and from Epiracma by the developed apophyses anteriores.

description: Based on our Chandra imaging-spectroscopic observations, we present the latest evolution of the X-ray remnant of SN 1987A. Recent changes in the electron temperatures and volume emission measures suggest that the blast wave in SN 1987A is moving out of the dense inner ring structure, also called the equatorial ring (ER). The 0.5-2.0 keV X-ray light curve shows a linearly declining trend (by $\sim$4.5 % yr$^{-1}$) between 2016 and 2020, as the blast wave heats the hitherto unknown circumstellar medium (CSM) outside the ER. While the peak X-ray emission in the latest 0.3-8.0 keV image is still within the ER, the radial expansion rate in the 3.0-8.0 keV images suggests an increasing contribution of the X-ray emission from less dense CSM since 2012, at least partly from beyond the ER. It is remarkable that, since 2020, the declining soft X-ray flux has stabilized around $\sim$7 $\times$ 10$^{-12}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$, which may signal a contribution from the reverse-shocked outer layers of ejecta as predicted by the 3-D magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) models. In the latest ACIS spectrum of supernova remnant (SNR) 1987A in 2022 we report a significant detection of the Fe K line at $\sim$6.7 keV, which may be due to changing thermal conditions of the X-ray emitting CSM and/or the onset of reverse shock interactions with the Fe-ejecta.

description: Purpose: This study evaluates the initial efficacy of Chaining SPeech Lessons in Intensive Ten-minute Sessions (SPLITS), an alternative service delivery model for the Speech Motor Chaining treatment approach. We hypothesized that Chaining SPLITS would result in improvements in /ɹ/ accuracy on syllables and untrained words when compared to a no-treatment condition.Method: Within a randomized controlled trial, thirteen 7–9-year-old children with difficulty producing /ɹ/ were randomized to receive treatment either immediately or after an 8-week delay. Treatment sessions were conducted 4 times a week over 8 weeks. Syllable and word-level recordings were collected at the baseline, 8-week, and 16-week time points. Recordings were rated along a 5-point scale by three masked, independent listeners. The primary outcome was changed score from the baseline to 8-week time point (Interval 1) and 8-week to 16-week time point (Interval 2).Results: Linear mixed modeling revealed that Chaining SPLITS led to significantly greater improvement in /ɹ/ accuracy at the syllable level for active treatment compared to a period of no treatment. This improvement was replicated in both groups. There was not sufficient evidence of an effect of Chaining SPLITS on untrained words after 8 weeks of treatment.Conclusions: The current study provides initial evidence of the effectiveness of 8 weeks of Chaining SPLITS on improvement in /ɹ/ accuracy in syllables. Short, frequent sessions may be a viable approach to promote acquisition of /ɹ/ among school-age children; however, longer courses of treatment may be needed to observe further improvement at the word level.Supplemental Material S1.

Biology
This species is a montane cloud forest specialist. In the tropics ant abundance declines dramatically between 1500m and 2000m and ants are very difficult to find above 2000m. Pheidole boltoni occurs in a narrow band at the very upper edge of ants' natural occurrence. Several nests have been collected under epiphyte mats in recent branch and treefalls. One nest (the types of P. humida) was collected in a rotten log.
Comments
The types of P. humida are very similar to types and additional material of P. boltoni, differing only in having a lighter color. Multiple collections of P. boltoni have been made at the peak of Volcan Barba in the Cordillera Volcanica Central. The type series of P. humida was collected in Monteverde, in the Cordillera de Tilaran. Oddly, no other material has been collected from Monteverde, in spite of intensive collecting there.

Material examined. Photographic evidence. 1 ♀, USA, National Butterfly Center, Mission, Hidalgo County, Texas (26.176583, -98.365750, 38 m), 05-I-2023.
Diagnosis. Morphologically, P. moctezuma (Fig. 2a–b) can be distinguished from its sole U.S. congener, P. m-album (Fig. 2c), by its fainter blue area and an additional red spot on the margin of space 1 (anal region) on the ventral hindwing; the blue area is more intense in P. m-album (Bordelon and Knudson 2006). Furthermore, there is a prominent black spot at the base of the tornal orange spot on the ventral hindwing of P. moctezuma, which is usually subdued in P. m-album (see Warren et al. 2024). Geographically, the recorded range of P. m-album typically reaches its western limit in central Texas, creating allopatry between the two species.
Remarks. On the specified date and location, a female Parrhasius moctezuma (Fig. 2a–b) was observed actively foraging on flowers of Chromolaena odorata (L.) R.M.King and H.Rob. (Asteraceae) between 12:35 pm and 12:43 pm CT. Initially identified as P. m-album, the individual was later confirmed as P. moctezuma using Glassberg (2018). Despite an extensive search by numerous enthusiasts at the National Butterfly Center, the butterfly was not seen again after its initial sighting. Bordelon and Knudson (2006) speculated that P. moctezuma might eventually appear in the lower Rio Grande Valley. Although Nuevo León, Mexico, is a plausible origin as suggested by Mike Rickard (pers. comm. 2023), the individual’s fresh condition suggests perhaps a more local provenance, likely in south Texas. The species’ apparent tolerance to freezes, such as those occasionally experienced in south Texas, as reported by Andrew Warren (pers. comm. 2024), further supports the likelihood of its establishment in the region.
Distribution. Mexico to Nicaragua (Nicolay 1979; Warren et al. 2024), Arizona (Davenport 2017), Texas (New state record).

There was not sufficient evidence of an effect of Chaining SPLITS on untrained words after 8 weeks of treatment.Conclusions: The current study provides initial evidence of the effectiveness of 8 weeks of Chaining SPLITS on improvement in /ɹ/ accuracy in syllables. Short, frequent sessions may be a viable approach to promote acquisition of /ɹ/ among school-age children; however, longer courses of treatment may be needed to observe further improvement at the word level.Supplemental Material S1.

description: We report on the observation of negative electronic compressibility in twisted bilayer graphene for Fermi energies close to insulating states. To observe this negative compressibility, we take advantage of naturally occurring twist angle domains that emerge during the fabrication of the samples, leading to the formation of charge islands. We accurately measure their capacitance using Coulomb oscillations, from which we infer the compressibility of the electron gas. Notably, we not only observe the negative electronic compressibility near correlated insulating states at integer filling, but also prominently near the band insulating state at full filling, located at the edges of both the flat- and remote bands. Furthermore, the individual twist angle domains yield a well-defined carrier density, enabling us to quantify the strength of electronic interactions and verify the theoretical prediction that the inverse negative capacitance contribution is proportional to the average distance between the charge carriers. A detailed analysis of our findings suggests that Wigner crystallization is the most likely explanation for the observed negative electronic compressibility.

description: Visibility is a crucial aspect of planning and control of autonomous vehicles (AV), particularly when navigating environments with occlusions. However, when an AV follows a trajectory with multiple occlusions, existing methods evaluate each occlusion individually, calculate a visibility cost for each, and rely on the planner to minimize the overall cost. This can result in conflicting priorities for the planner, as individual occlusion costs may appear to be in opposition. We solve this problem by creating an alternate perspective cost map that allows for an aggregate view of the occlusions in the environment. The value of each cell on the cost map is a measure of the amount of visual information that the vehicle can gain about the environment by visiting that location. Our proposed method identifies observation locations and occlusion targets drawn from both map data and sensor data. We show how to estimate an alternate perspective for each observation location and then combine all estimates into a single alternate perspective cost map for motion planning.

description: We present Real-time Gaussian SLAM (RTG-SLAM), a real-time 3D reconstruction system with an RGBD camera for large-scale environments using Gaussian splatting. The system features a compact Gaussian representation and a highly efficient on-the-fly Gaussian optimization scheme. We force each Gaussian to be either opaque or nearly transparent, with the opaque ones fitting the surface and dominant colors, and transparent ones fitting residual colors. By rendering depth in a different way from color rendering, we let a single opaque Gaussian well fit a local surface region without the need of multiple overlapping Gaussians, hence largely reducing the memory and computation cost. For on-the-fly Gaussian optimization, we explicitly add Gaussians for three types of pixels per frame: newly observed, with large color errors, and with large depth errors. We also categorize all Gaussians into stable and unstable ones, where the stable Gaussians are expected to well fit previously observed RGBD images and otherwise unstable. We only optimize the unstable Gaussians and only render the pixels occupied by unstable Gaussians. In this way, both the number of Gaussians to be optimized and pixels to be rendered are largely reduced, and the optimization can be done in real time. We show real-time reconstructions of a variety of large scenes. Compared with the state-of-the-art NeRF-based RGBD SLAM, our system achieves comparable high-quality reconstruction but with around twice the speed and half the memory cost, and shows superior performance in the realism of novel view synthesis and camera tracking accuracy.

description: A numerical framework for simulating progressive failure under high-cycle fatigue loading is validated against experiments of composite quasi-isotropic open-hole laminates. Transverse matrix cracking and delamination are modeled with a mixed-mode fatigue cohesive zone model, covering crack initiation and propagation. Furthermore, XFEM is used for simulating transverse matrix cracks and splits at arbitrary locations. An adaptive cycle jump approach is employed for efficiently simulating high-cycle fatigue while accounting for local stress ratio variations in the presence of thermal residual stresses. The cycle jump scheme is integrated in the XFEM framework, where the local stress ratio is used to determine the insertion of cracks and to propagate fatigue damage. The fatigue cohesive zone model is based on S-N curves and requires static material properties and only a few fatigue parameters, calibrated on simple fracture testing specimens. The simulations demonstrate a good correspondence with experiments in terms of fatigue life and damage evolution.

description: In international trade, State interventions often challenge the efficacy of traditional anti-dumping and countervailing measures under the World Trade Organization (WTO) framework. This article examines the limitations of the Anti-Dumping Agreement and the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement) in addressing State interventions, such as export taxes, export bans on raw materials, and non-commercial activities by State-owned enterprises. These interventions pose significant legal and economic challenges in global trade. The article advocates for the potential of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) as practical tools to address these challenges, surpassing traditional legal pathways under the Anti-Dumping Agreement. An analysis of recent WTO disputes demonstrates how PTAs provide targeted disciplines against State interventions that cause market distortions and unfair trade practices. PTAs offer a more rational and equitable approach to managing trade conflicts, avoiding conventional trade remedies’ economic irrationalities and protectionist tendencies. The article proposes a strategic shift towards PTAs to fill gaps left by traditional WTO agreements. It highlights the need for a dynamic, adaptable legal framework in international trade that responds to sophisticated State interventions in the global economy.

description: The load-bearing capacity of traffic superstructures is usually assessed based on deformation measurements. The bearing capacity is defined as the superstructure’s resistance to short-term deformations. However, different measurement concepts and evaluation methods are required for different superstructures to assess the bearing capacity. Therefore, this paper will present various methods for road and tramway superstructures and illustrate them with practical examples. The bearing capacity of road pavements is typically assessed by deflection measurements using the falling weight deflectometer (FWD). This dynamic measurement method applies a falling weight to the road surface, and the resulting deflection basin is recorded briefly. This can then be evaluated. Evaluations of various measurements in Germany are presented. The assessment of load-bearing capacity in the tramway sector is not currently established in German regulations. An individual measurement concept was developed and applied to assess the load-bearing capacity in urban transportation. The measurements aimed to determine the in-situ deformations of the grooved rail with a selected type of fastening during the passing of trams. In addition, the serviceability during operation was checked. The measurements were carried out on an open construction (grass track) and a closed construction (asphalt), as well as in tight curves and on straight track sections. Based on the deformations determined, conclusions can also be drawn about the service life.
