Fig. 18 A–B
* Rhinolophus swinnyi Gough, 1908: 71.
Hayman et al. (1966: 40) mention 25 specimens in the collection of the Tervuren Museum (RMCA) from Banana, Baudouinville, Kakontwe and Lubudi Cave, but contrary to all other taxa, no museum numbers were provided. A recent catalog list of the museum (Wim Wendelen, pers. comm.) doesn’t mention any specimens belonging to this species either.
Based on the currently available data, R. swinnyi is restricted to the extreme southeastern part of the DRC (Haut-Lomami and Haut-Katanga Provinces). The Pan-African distribution of the species includes eastern (Tanzania) and southern Africa, where it occurs from the southern DRC, over Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, southern Mozambique and extreme eastern RSA.

Rhinolophus simulator K. Andersen, 1912: 384.
The 52 specimens of R. simulator reported here were already collected in the first half of the 1960s at a number of localities in the provinces of Haut Katanga, Lualaba and Haut-Lomami (southeastern DRC). These localities form a westwards extension of the species in central Africa, but Cotterill & Happold (2013b: 352) mention its presence in northern Zambia. Furthermore they plotted individual localities in Tanzania, Uganda and South Sudan, as well as in a few small areas in central Ethiopia and Malawi and in a larger area stretching from southern Zambia, over almost entire Zimbabwe, southwestern Mozambique and northern RSA. They also report its presence in a few localities in the border area between Guinea and Liberia and in central Nigeria and western Cameroon. ACR (2016: 1075) reported additional localities from Botswana and Namibia. Based on bioclimatic data, the species might also occur in central Angola, which would suggest that the southern African distribution area might connect to Cameroon along the coast.

description: This paper develops a communication-efficient distributed mapping approach for rapid exploration of a cave by a multi-robot team. Subsurface planetary exploration is an unsolved problem challenged by communication, power, and compute constraints. Prior works have addressed the problems of rapid exploration and leveraging multiple systems to increase exploration rate; however, communication considerations have been left largely unaddressed. This paper bridges this gap in the state of the art by developing distributed perceptual modeling that enables high-fidelity mapping while remaining amenable to low-bandwidth communication channels. The approach yields significant gains in exploration rate for multi-robot teams as compared to state-of-the-art approaches. The work is evaluated through simulation studies and hardware experiments in a wild cave in West Virginia.

description: We study the Maker-Breaker domination game played by Dominator and Staller on the vertex set of a given graph. Dominator wins when the vertices he has claimed form a dominating set of the graph. Staller wins if she makes it impossible for Dominator to win, or equivalently, she is able to claim some vertex and all its neighbours. Maker-Breaker domination number $γ_{MB}(G)$ ($γ'_{MB}(G)$) of a graph $G$ is defined to be the minimum number of moves for Dominator to guarantee his winning when he plays first (second). We investigate these two invariants for the Cartesian product of any two graphs. We obtain upper bounds for the Maker-Breaker domination number of the Cartesian product of two arbitrary graphs. Also, we give upper bounds for the Maker-Breaker domination number of the Cartesian product of the complete graph with two vertices and an arbitrary graph. Most importantly, we prove that $γ'_{MB}(P_2\square P_n)=n$ for $n\geq 1$, $γ_{MB}(P_2\square P_n)$ equals $n$, $n-1$, $n-2$, for $1\leq n\leq 4$, $5\leq n\leq 12$, and $n\geq 13$, respectively. For the disjoint union of $P_2\square P_n$s, we show that $γ_{MB}'(\dot\cup_{i=1}^k(P_2\square P_n)_i)=k\cdot n$ ($n\geq 1$), and that $γ_{MB}(\dot\cup_{i=1}^k(P_2\square P_n)_i)$ equals $k\cdot n$, $k\cdot n-1$, $k\cdot n-2$ for $1\leq n\leq 4$, $5\leq n\leq 12$, and $n\geq 13$, respectively.

This construction expands the space of IETs in accordance with the natural duality that we pinpoint. Induction of Rauzy\,--\,Veech kind is applicable to IREs. It is conjugate to the reverse operation by the duality mentioned above. A natural extension of an IRE is associated with two transversal flows on a flat translation surface with branching points.

description: Following E. Wigner's original vision, we prove that sampling the eigenvalue gaps within the bulk spectrum of a fixed (deformed) Wigner matrix $H$ yields the celebrated Wigner-Dyson-Mehta universal statistics with high probability. Similarly, we prove universality for a monoparametric family of deformed Wigner matrices $H+xA$ with a deterministic Hermitian matrix $A$ and a fixed Wigner matrix $H$, just using the randomness of a single scalar real random variable $x$. Both results constitute quenched versions of bulk universality that has so far only been proven in annealed sense with respect to the probability space of the matrix ensemble.

Computing the Density of the Positivity Set for Linear Recurrence Sequences

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The set of indices that correspond to the positive entries of a sequence of numbers is called its positivity set. In this paper, we study the density of the positivity set of a given linear recurrence sequence, that is the question of how much more frequent are the positive entries compared to the non-positive ones. We show that one can compute this density to arbitrary precision, as well as decide whether it is equal to zero (or one). If the sequence is diagonalisable, we prove that its positivity set is finite if and only if its density is zero. Further, arithmetic properties of densities are treated, in particular we prove that it is decidable whether the density is a rational number, given that the recurrence sequence has at most one pair of dominant complex roots. Finally, we generalise all these results to symbolic orbits of linear dynamical systems, thereby showing that one can decide various properties of such systems, up to a set of density zero.

description: Antimicrobial resistance is a major health burden in Pakistan, and therefore new herbal medicine-based therapeutic regimens are being largely investigated. Limbarda crithmoides essential oil was extracted by using hydrodistillation method. Chemical profiling of essential was evaluated by using FTIR and GC-MS analysis. A total of 20 components were identified including, p-xylene, o-xylene, β-linalool, acetophenole and 3-isopropylphenyl methylcarbamate. The HOMO and LUMO analysis in DFT investigations presented that 3-isopropylphenyl methylcarbamate, p-xylene and o-xylene posess a substantial capacity to transfer charge through molecules. The antimicrobial potential of essential oil showed moderate inhibition against E. coli (MIC = 6.25 mg/mL), whereras a significant inhibition Staphylococos aureus was recorded (MIC = 3.12 mg/mL). Further, significant antioxidant activities were recorded in DPPH radical scavenging (IC50 = 80.5 µg/mL), H2O2 (64 ± 1.2%) and FRAP (60.3 µg ferrous equivalents) assays. It was therefore concluded that Limbarda crithmoides essential oil has potential antioxidant and anti-antimicrobial properties and can be used for further investigations.

description: In this work, we propose a new deep learning-based scheme for solving high dimensional nonlinear backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). The idea is to reformulate the problem as a global optimization, where the local loss functions are included. Essentially, we approximate the unknown solution of a BSDE using a deep neural network and its gradient with automatic differentiation. The approximations are performed by globally minimizing the quadratic local loss function defined at each time step, which always includes the terminal condition. This kind of loss functions are obtained by iterating the Euler discretization of the time integrals with the terminal condition. Our formulation can prompt the stochastic gradient descent algorithm not only to take the accuracy at each time layer into account, but also converge to a good local minima. In order to demonstrate performances of our algorithm, several high-dimensional nonlinear BSDEs including pricing problems in finance are provided.

Strangely enough, Jacobs (2013: 365) only refers to one locality: Shinkolobwe. Its Pan- African distribution reaches from southern DRC over Zambia and Zimbabwe to northwestern RSA and Swaziland. All of these records are assigned to C. p. australis. The nominate subspecies is restricted to southeastern Kenya and northeastern Tanzania, where it is known from a few isolated specimens.

Novel Cas orthologs from natural reservoirs and design of a directed evolution approach in mammalian cells to enhance their editing potential
Creators: name: Marelli, Federica

description: CRISPR-Cas systems include several Cas proteins, each with their own enzymatic features and targeting abilities, holding great potential for genome engineering and gene therapy applications. Screenings of metagenomic datasets are continuously providing new additions to the ever-growing CRISPR toolbox. Reliable computational methods for decoding PAM are the key for uncovering unexplored Cas variety. Recently, we have developed a highly-performing PAM prediction pipeline and identified a repertoire of about 33,000 unreported Cas9s. Here, we combined such large variety of orthologs with a prediction-based PAM-specific approach for allele-specific gene editing, and we isolated small Cas9s tailored for ALS-associated SOD1 mutations. CoCas9 from Collinsella showed a good efficiency and specificity profile in both the case studies we investigated, i.e. c.281G>C (p.Gly94Ala) and c.112G>C (p.Gly38Arg) mutations, proving the importance of novel Cas9 discovery to complement existing nucleases and facilitate the advance of CRISPR-based personalized therapies. Nonetheless, not all bacterial orthologs exhibit high functionality when transferred to human cells. Therefore, we evaluated the suitability of the VEGAS SINV-based directed evolution platform to evolve poorly active Cas into catalytically enhanced enzymes. We implemented a selection strategy that made the expression of viral structural genes (SSG) dependent on Cas activity, and we named it CRISPR-SPLICEX. To achieve that coupling, we built an artificial stop/frameshift cassette flanked by introns and inserted it in the coding sequence of a EGFP reporter. We demonstrated that insertion of the cassette abrogated gene function, and that Cas editing at its splice sites could efficiently alter the splicing process to induce cassette skipping and restoration of the gene activity. We moved the cassette into the SSG coding sequence, and we generated a Cas-inducible packaging construct. Simulation of the genetic circuit proved that the Cas-inducible packaging construct could support SINV propagation only in the presence of functional Cas proteins able to rescue the SSG expression. Given the flexibility of the artificial stop/frameshift cassette to accommodate tailored PAMs, the CRISPR-SPLICEX strategy could, in principle, be applied to evolve functional activities of any Cas ortholog.

Saccolaimus has variably been assigned (sub)generic status by various authors, but Barghoorn (1977: 5) ranked it as a genus based on its skull proportions and ossification, and the morphology of the auditory bullae (see also fig. 88 in Happold 2013p).
Our distribution map hardly differs from the one presented by Hayman et al. (1966: map 24). We have a few extra records in the Nord-Kivu and Ituri Provinces in the northeastern part of the DRC, and in the Mongala and Tshuapa Provinces in the northwestern part of the country. The general map shows that S. peli is primarily a forest species.

* Taphozous sudani Thomas, 1915: 561.
Rosevear (1965: 150–151) compared material of both T. perforatus and T. sudani, and found that the only character distinguishing the two taxa is the darker pelage in sudani, generally combined with white wings. He also found a specimen with intermediate characters, which led him to retain sudani only as a mere subspecies of perforatus. This view was followed by most subsequent authors (e.g., Kock 1969: 74; Hayman & Hill 1971: 16; Koopman 1975: 370).
With the exception of a few extra specimens from the same localities, all the material reported in this paper was already mentioned by Hayman et al. (1966: 32). The SDM map shows that T. perforatus primarily occurs in sub-Saharan Africa, above the equator, with a few records reported from northern Botswana and southern Zimbabwe.

* Nycteris arge Thomas, 1903: 633 The distribution of this species is primarily restricted to the northern part of the DRC, with a few specimens from the Upemba National Park (Haut-Lomami Province) and Luebo (Kasaï Province), already reported by Hayman et al. (1966: 33, map 26), and some additional specimens from the Kananga (Kasaï-Central Province) and Kilembe (Kwilu Province) areas. In general, its distribution is mainly restricted to the rainforest zones and the rainforest-savanna mosaics (Fahr 2013f: 442).

Hayman et al. (1966: 36) only mention the type specimen of N. avakubia as representative of N. major in the DRC. However, on map 32, they have two dots, and neither of them refers to the type locality of avakubia, which is Avakubi (Tshopo Province). The two dots seem to refer to the two AMNH specimens reported by Allen (1917: 427) as belonging to N. major (49399 from the Garamba National Park and 49422 from Faradje), but of which Koopman (1965: 6) indicated that they actually belong to N. macrotis. Koopman (1965) furthermore refers to two additional specimens reported by Schouteden (1947): one from Macaco (Kasaï Province; reported for the first time by Kershaw 1923) and one from Boma (Kongo Central Province). These specimens were re-identified by Hayman et al. (1966: 35) and Van Cakenberghe & De Vree (1985: 80) as N. macrotis.

description: Einstein's General Theory of Relativity predicted the existence of gravitational waves (GWs), which offer a way to explore cosmic events like binary mergers and could help resolve the Hubble Tension. The Hubble Tension refers to the discrepancy in the measurements of the Hubble Constant, Ho, obtained through different methods and missions over various periods. By analyzing gravitational wave data, particularly from mergers that also emit light (electromagnetic radiation), such as Bright Sirens, we aim to reduce this tension. This paper will investigate the properties of GWs produced by these binary mergers and utilize a mathematical framework to tackle the Hubble Tension. Future advancements in gravitational wave astronomy, particularly with initiatives like LIGO-India and LISA, promise to enhance research outcomes. The ground-based LIGO-India will increase sensitivity and improve localization, while the space-based LISA will target lower frequency ranges of GWs, enabling the detection of signals from a wider array of sources.

description: The analysis of Tikhonov regularization for nonlinear ill-posed equations with smoothness promoting penalties is an important topic in inverse problem theory. With focus on Hilbert scale models, the case of oversmoothing penalties, i.e., when the penalty takes an infinite value at the true solution gained increasing interest. The considered nonlinearity structure is as in the study B. Hofmann and P. Mathé. Tikhonov regularization with oversmoothing penalty for non-linear ill-posed problems in Hilbert scales. Inverse Problems, 2018. Such analysis can address two fundamental questions. When is it possible to achieve order optimal reconstruction? How to select the regularization parameter? The present study complements previous ones by two main facets. First, an error decomposition into a smoothness dependent and a (smoothness independent) noise propagation term is derived, covering a large range of smoothness conditions. Secondly, parameter selection by balancing principles is presented. A detailed discussion, covering some history and variations of the parameter choice by balancing shows under which conditions such balancing principles yield order optimal reconstruction. A numerical case study, based on some exponential growth model, provides additional insights.

For a very long time, up to the early 1960s and 1970s, N. aethiopia has been considered a separate species (from N. macrotis). Hayman et al. (1966: 33, 35, 36) followed that view, but also referred to Koopman, who indicated that aethiopica and macrotis are conspecific. Hayman & Hill (1971: 19) still mention the two as separate species, but note that their distinctness is by no means clear, as was suggested by Koopman (1965) and Kock (1969). The multivariate analyses by Van Cakenberghe & De Vree (1985) confirmed that the two forms are conspecific.
Nycteris macrotis has a scattered distribution over CRB, where it occurs in almost all regions, except for the northwestern part of the DRC. The SDM map suggests a wide distribution across Africa south of the Sahara.

description: Infinite Gray code has been introduced by Tsuiki as a redundancy-free representation of the reals. In applications the signed digit representation is mostly used which has maximal redundancy. Tsuiki presented a functional program converting signed digit code into infinite Gray code. Moreover, he showed that infinite Gray code can effectively be converted into signed digit code, but the program needs to have some non-deterministic features (see also H. Tsuiki, K. Sugihara, "Streams with a bottom in functional languages"). Berger and Tsuiki reproved the result in a system of formal first-order intuitionistic logic extended by inductive and co-inductive definitions, as well as some new logical connectives capturing concurrent behaviour. The programs extracted from the proofs are exactly the ones given by Tsuiki. In order to do so, co-inductive predicates $\bS$ and $\bG$ are defined and the inclusion $\bS \subseteq \bG$ is derived. For the converse inclusion the new logical connectives are used to introduce a concurrent version $§_{2}$ of $S$ and $\bG \subseteq \bS_{2}$ is shown. What one is looking for, however, is an equivalence proof of the involved concepts. One of the main aims of the present paper is to close the gap. A concurrent version $\bG^{*}$ of $\bG$ and a modification $\bS^{*}$ of $\bS_{2}$ are presented such that $\bS^{*} = \bG^{*}$. A crucial tool in U. Berger, H. Tsuiki, "Intuitionistic fixed point logic" is a formulation of the Archimedean property of the real numbers as an induction principle. We introduce a concurrent version of this principle which allows us to prove that $\bS^{*}$ and $\bG^{*}$ coincide. A further central contribution is the extension of the above results to the hyperspace of non-empty compact subsets of the reals.

description: High-tech systems are typically produced in two stages: 1) Production of components using specialized equipment and staff; 2) System assembly/integration. Component production capacity is subject to fluctuations, causing a high risk of shortages of at least one component, which results in costly delays. Companies hedge this risk by strategic investments in excess production capacity and in buffer inventories of components. To optimize these, it is crucial to characterize the relation between component shortage risk and capacity and inventory investments. We suppose that component production capacity and produce demand are normally distributed over finite time intervals, and we accordingly model the production system as a symmetric fork-join queueing network with $N$ statistically identical queues with a common arrival process and independent service processes. Assuming a symmetric cost structure, we subsequently apply extreme value theory to gain analytic insights into this optimization problem. We derive several new results for this queueing network, notably that the scaled maximum of $N$ steady-state queue lengths converges in distribution to a Gaussian random variable. These results translate into asymptotically optimal methods to dimension the system. Tests on a range of problems reveal that these methods typically work well for systems of moderate size.

description: The Bayesian approach to inverse problems with functional unknowns, has received significant attention in recent years. An important component of the developing theory is the study of the asymptotic performance of the posterior distribution in the frequentist setting. The present paper contributes to the area of Bayesian inverse problems by formulating a posterior contraction theory for linear inverse problems, with truncated Gaussian series priors, and under general smoothness assumptions. Emphasis is on the intrinsic role of the truncation point both for the direct as well as for the inverse problem, which are related through the modulus of continuity as this was recently highlighted by Knapik and Salomond (2018).

description: Pervasiveness of tracking devices and enhanced availability of spatially located data has deepened interest in using them for various policy interventions, through computational data analysis tasks such as spatial hot spot detection. In this paper, we consider, for the first time to our best knowledge, fairness in detecting spatial hot spots. We motivate the need for ensuring fairness through statistical parity over the collective population covered across chosen hot spots. We then characterize the task of identifying a diverse set of solutions in the noteworthiness-fairness trade-off spectrum, to empower the user to choose a trade-off justified by the policy domain. Being a novel task formulation, we also develop a suite of evaluation metrics for fair hot spots, motivated by the need to evaluate pertinent aspects of the task. We illustrate the computational infeasibility of identifying fair hot spots using naive and/or direct approaches and devise a method, codenamed {\it FiSH}, for efficiently identifying high-quality, fair and diverse sets of spatial hot spots. FiSH traverses the tree-structured search space using heuristics that guide it towards identifying effective and fair sets of spatial hot spots. Through an extensive empirical analysis over a real-world dataset from the domain of human development, we illustrate that FiSH generates high-quality solutions at fast response times.

* Nycteris hispida (Schreber, 1774).
Nycteris hispida has a very wide distribution, both in CRB and Pan-African. In the DRC it is found over almost the entire country, and it is also known from both Rwanda and Burundi. The SDM map indicates that it occurs almost over the entire sub-Saharan African continent, with the exception of the extreme eastern part. It is also missing from Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe (except for the most northern parts of these latter two countries), and from most of the RSA, where it only occurs along the eastern coast line.

description: In this article, we construct bipartite graphs which are cospectral for both the adjacency and normalized Laplacian matrices using partitioned tensor product. This extends the construction of Ji, Gong, and Wang \cite{ji-gong-wang}. Our proof of the cospectrality of adjacency matrices simplifies the proof of the bipartite case of Godsil and McKay's construction \cite{godsil-mckay-1976}, and shows that the corresponding normalized Laplacian matrices are also cospectral. We partially characterize the isomorphism in Godsil and McKay's construction, and generalize Ji et al.'s characterization of the isomorphism to biregular bipartite graphs. The essential idea in characterizing the isomorphism uses Hammack's cancellation law as opposed to Hall's marriage theorem used by Ji et al.

In a note on page 35, Hayman et al. (1966) mention for N. intermedia: “A doubtfully valid species”. However, the multivariate biometrical analyses by Van Cakenberghe & De Vree (1985) showed that this species can clearly be distinguished from the larger N. arge and the smaller N. nana.
Contrary to the very patchy distribution map presented by Fahr (2013g: 450), we believe this species has a more extensive distribution over the African rainforest than all of the members of the Nycteris arge group, since representatives of this species might have been misidentified as N. arge. However, we do caution that in the DRC, the species has only been found in the northeastern part of the country (Ituri, Nord- and South-Kivu Provinces).

* Nycteris nana (Andersen, 1912).
Hayman et al. (1966: map 33) restricted the occurrence of N. nana in the DRC to the current provinces of Ituri and Haut-Uélé, with one record from Ibembo (Bas-Uélé Province). All of these are in the northeastern part of the DRC. Further specimens are recorded from as far west as Duma, on the border with the Central African Republic, and as far south as Kananga (Central-Kasaï Province). Due to the regular collection of specimens belonging to this species, Fahr (2013h: 455) doesn’t believe the disjunct distribution he presented to be the result of insufficient sampling. However, he did not include the record from Duma (SMF 6390) nor the one from Wafanya (RMCA 89.020-M-0042), so the actual distribution of the species might be more wide than he suggested. Additionally, Fahr (2013h) also indicates that N. nana is recorded in drier types of forests than the other representatives of the N. arge group (arge, intermedia and major).
