Diagnostic description.
Ocelli comparatively smaller, ocular ocellar line> 3.0 × diameter of posterior ocellus; anteromesoscutum mostly with rather coarse punctures; propodeum with almost complete areola (open anteriorly); T 1 1.3 × as long as wide at posterior margin; T 2 transverse, its width at posterior margin> 3.5 × its central length; T 1 with strong sculpture on posterior 0.5; T 2 mostly sculptured but with some smooth areas along anterior margin; ovipositor sheath as long as metatibia length; tegula yellow, humeral complex mostly brown; pterostigma mostly dark brown (with pale spot on anterior 0.1 or less); all coxae, mesofemur and most of metafemur (except for anterior 0.2 which is yellow) brown to dark brown; body length: 2.35–2.81 mm; fore wing length: 2.65–2.97 mm. While D. anacamposae has T 2 almost entirely sculptured (in that sense it would appear to run through the first half of couplet 9), there are smooth areas along anterior margin that are different from other species with sculptured T 2. Additionally, this species can be distinguished by the color of its tegula, humeral complex and legs, anteromesoscutum sculpture, propodeum areola, shape and sculpture of T 1 and T 2, and length of ovipositor sheath.

description: A previous supersymmetric preon scenario for visible matter particles is extended to the dark sector. In addition, the scenario is reformulated as a Double Field Theory (DFT) with four extra dimensions, to avoid a singular Big Bang in cosmology. T-duality and doubled local Lorentz symmetry of the model are genuine stringy properties. It is proposed that DFT preons may be an approximate pointlike projection of string theory.

description: In this paper, a novel information leakage resistant quantum dialogue (QD) protocol with single photons in both polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom is proposed, which utilizes quantum encryption technology to overcome the information leakage problem. In the proposed QD protocol, during the transmission process, the single photons in both polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom used for encoding two communicants' private classical bits are protected by both quantum encryption technology and decoy photon technology. For avoiding the information leakage problem, the initial states of the single photons in both polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom used for encoding two communicants' private classical bits are shared between two communicants through quantum key encryption and decryption. The information-theoretical efficiency of the proposed QD protocol is as high as 40%.

description: In this paper, we propose a two-party semiquantum summation protocol, where two classical users can accomplish the summation of their private binary sequences with the assistance of a quantum semi-honest third party (TP). The term 'semi-honest' implies that TP cannot conspire with others but is able to implement all kinds oof attacks. This protocol employs logical qubits as traveling particles to overcome the negative influence of collective-dephasing noise and needn't make any two parties pre-share a random secret key. The security analysis turns out that this protocol can effectively prevent the outside attacks from Eve and the participant attacks from TP. Moreover, TP has no knowledge about the summation results.

Diagnostic description.
Scutellar disc smooth; anterior half of mesopleuron smooth, anteromesoscutum with sparse and relatively shallow punctures; propodeum areola comparatively broad (its height ~ 1.2 × its central width) and open anteriorly; T 1 and T 2 heavily sculptured with strong longitudinal striae; T 1 comparatively thin and mostly parallel-sided; T 2, comparatively less transverse, its width at posterior margin 3.0 × its central length; ovipositor comparatively thicker, at least as thick as 0.8 × flagellomeres width; tegula white-yellow, humeral complex mostly brown; pterostigma mostly pale brown with small, paler spot anteriorly; metacoxa entirely dark brown; body length: 2.31 mm; fore wing length: 2.53 mm; BIN BOLD: ABA 7252, which is 3.71 % different from the nearest BIN in BOLD as of March 2022. Dolichogenidea andreamezae runs up to couplet 38 in the key above, where it cannot be separate from D. pedroleoni because the only known specimen of D. andreamezae lacks both hind legs (color and length of metatibia being important to differentiate the species). However, it can be recognized on the basis of smaller size (body length and fore wing length), distinctive DNA barcode, host family (Erebidae) and the wasp making solitary cocoons.

description: The development of the protect-annealing method has extended the superconductivity of the electron-doped cuprate Pr$_{1.3-x}$La$_{0.7}$Ce$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ (PLCCO) into lower Ce concentrations, while the superconducting volume fraction decreases with underdoping. Employing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with a micro-focused beam, we investigated the electronic structure of protect-annealed PLCCO ($x=0.08$) with small superconducting volume fraction. Significant spatial variation of Fermi surface area and shape was observed, suggesting inhomogeneity in electron concentrations and the pseudogap that competes with superconductivity. By performing measurements at dozens of different sample positions, negative and non-monotonic correlation was found between the electron concentration and pseudogap magnitude. The established correlation illustrates a systematic annealing dependence of the electronic structure where a pseudogap abruptly opens with insufficient oxygen reduction.

description: The fairness characteristic is a critical attribute of trusted AI systems. A plethora of research has proposed diverse methods for individual fairness testing. However, they are suffering from three major limitations, i.e., low efficiency, low effectiveness, and model-specificity. This work proposes ExpGA, an explanationguided fairness testing approach through a genetic algorithm (GA). ExpGA employs the explanation results generated by interpretable methods to collect high-quality initial seeds, which are prone to derive discriminatory samples by slightly modifying feature values. ExpGA then adopts GA to search discriminatory sample candidates by optimizing a fitness value. Benefiting from this combination of explanation results and GA, ExpGA is both efficient and effective to detect discriminatory individuals. Moreover, ExpGA only requires prediction probabilities of the tested model, resulting in a better generalization capability to various models. Experiments on multiple real-world benchmarks, including tabular and text datasets, show that ExpGA presents higher efficiency and effectiveness than four state-of-the-art approaches.

Political party support -- United States
Key, V. O., Jr. (Valdimer Orlando), 1908-1963

description: We examine whether the geographic distribution of a political party's electoral support affects the divisiveness of statewide primaries. In spite of V.O. Key, Jr.'s (1956) original insight that geography might be a relevant predictor of contested statewide primaries, this hypothesis has received little attention from political scientists. We test Key's hypothesis using data on gubernatorial and U.S. Senate elections to identify the effects of electoral geography on the structure of competition in primary elections. We contend that dispersed bases of electoral support greatly increase the costs associated with maintaining party cohesion. Our findings support the theory that a geographically dispersed electorate heightens the potential for intraparty factionalism. These results are robust across several measures of the dependent variable.

description: A core sample of 59 unobscured type 1 AGNs with simultaneous XMM-Newton X-ray and UV observations is compiled from archive to probe the nature of soft X-ray excess (SE). In the first paper of this series, our focus centers on scrutinizing the spectral profile of the soft excess. Of the sources, $\approx$ 71% (42/59) exhibit powerlaw-like (po-like) soft excess, while $\approx$ 29% (17/59) exhibit blackbody-like (bb-like) soft excess. We show a cut-off powerlaw could uniformly characterize both types of soft excesses, with median Ecut of 1.40 keV for po-like and 0.14 keV for bb-like. For the first time, we report a robust and quantitative correlation between the SE profile and SE strength (the ratio of SE luminosity to that of the primary powerlaw continuum in 0.5 - 2.0 keV), indicating that stronger soft excess is more likely to be po-like, or effectively has a higher Ecut. This correlation cannot be explained by ionized disk reflection alone, which produces mostly bb-like soft excess (Ecut $\sim$ 0.1 keV) as revealed by relxilllp simulation. Remarkably, we show with simulations that a toy hybrid scenario, where both ionized disk reflection (relxilllp, with all reflection parameters fixed at default values except for ionization of the disk) and warm corona (compTT, with temperature fixed at 1 keV) contribute to the observed soft excess, can successfully reproduce the observed correlation. This highlights the ubiquitous hybrid nature of the soft X-ray excess in AGNs, and underscores the importance of considering both components while fitting the spectra of soft excess.

Geometric monotones of violations of quantum realism

description: Quantum realism, as introduced by Bilobran and Angelo [EPL 112, 40005 (2015)], states that projective measurements in quantum systems establish the reality of physical properties, even in the absence of a revealed outcome. This framework provides a nuanced perspective on the distinction between classical and quantum notions of realism, emphasizing the contextuality and complementarity inherent to quantum systems. While prior works have quantified violations of quantum realism (VQR) using measures based on entropic distances, here we extend the theoretical framework to geometric distances. Building on an informational approach, we derive geometric monotones of VQR using trace distance, Hilbert-Schmidt distance, Schatten $p$-distances, Bures, and Hellinger distances. We identify Bures and Hellinger distances as uniquely satisfying all minimal criteria for a bona fide VQR monotone. Remarkably, these distances can be expressed in terms of symmetric Rényi and Sandwiched Rényi divergences, aligning geometric and entropic approaches. Our findings suggest that the realism-information relation implies a deep connection between geometric and entropic frameworks, with only those geometric distances expressible as entropic quantities qualifying as valid monotones of VQR. This work highlights the theoretical and practical advantages of geometric distances, particularly in contexts where computational simplicity or symmetry is important.

description: Fluctuations are ubiquitous in nature. They are one of the fundamental building blocks of quantum mechanics and are responsible for a wide variety of phenomena in many areas of physics, ranging from biology to cosmology. Far from any classical intuition, quantum fluctuations are for instance responsible for the appearance of forces between non-magnetic and electrically neutral objects in vacuum, which seem to arise out of nothing. Ever since, quantum fluctuations have fascinated basic research providing new insights into physics and their understanding is becoming increasingly important for various future technologies. -- Fluktuationen sind allgegenwärtig. Sie bilden einen fundamentalen Baustein der Quantenmechanik und sind verantwortlich für die unterschiedlichsten Phänomene, angefangen in der Biologie bis hin zur Kosmologie. Fern jeder klassischen Intuition findet man zum Beispiel Kräfte zwischen nichtmagnetischen und elektrisch neutralen Objekten. Einzig bedingt durch Quantenfluktuationen entstehen diese Kräfte wie aus dem Nichts. Seit jeher begeistern sie die Grundlagenforschung mit neuen Einsichten und gewinnen immer mehr an Bedeutung für verschiedene Zukunftstechnologien.

Diagnostic description.
T 1 length medially ~ 3.0 × its width at posterior margin; T 2 more or less trapezoidal in shape; T 2 sculptured ~ margins, centrally smooth; hypopygium with single, small pleat; ovipositor sheath <0.5 × metatibia length; all coxae brown to dark brown; metafemur entirely to mostly yellow (at most with darker spot on posterior 0.3 or less); body length: 2.28 mm; fore wing length: 2.56 mm. Among all species with dark coxae and T 2 at least partially smooth, D. angelsolisi can be distinguished by its almost unpleated hypopygium and short ovipositor sheath. Another species, D. bernardoespinozai, is very similar and we could not find any morphological characters to reliably separate them. However, they can be diagnosed by strong differences in DNA barcodes (almost 10 % base pairs difference between the two species) as well as the fact that they have been found at different elevations and ecosystems (see more details provided under D. bernardoespinozai).

description: Transparency around limitations can improve the scientific rigor of research, help ensure appropriate interpretation of research findings, and make research claims more credible. Despite these benefits, the machine learning (ML) research community lacks well-developed norms around disclosing and discussing limitations. To address this gap, we conduct an iterative design process with 30 ML and ML-adjacent researchers to develop and test REAL ML, a set of guided activities to help ML researchers recognize, explore, and articulate the limitations of their research. Using a three-stage interview and survey study, we identify ML researchers' perceptions of limitations, as well as the challenges they face when recognizing, exploring, and articulating limitations. We develop REAL ML to address some of these practical challenges, and highlight additional cultural challenges that will require broader shifts in community norms to address. We hope our study and REAL ML help move the ML research community toward more active and appropriate engagement with limitations.

description: Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to do computation with a potential advantage over classical computers. While a single classical computer transforms one particular binary input into an output after applying one operator to the input, a quantum computer can apply the operator to a superposition of binary strings to provide a superposition of binary outputs, doing computation apparently in parallel. This feature allows quantum computers to speed up the computation compared to classical algorithms. Unsurprisingly, quantum algorithms have been proposed to solve optimization problems in quantum computers. Furthermore, a family of quantum machines called quantum annealers are specially designed to solve optimization problems. In this paper, we provide an introduction to quantum optimization from a practical point of view. We introduce the reader to the use of quantum annealers and quantum gate-based machines to solve optimization problems.

description: Mapping X-ray images, radiology reports, and other medical data as binary codes in the common space, which can assist clinicians to retrieve pathology-related data from heterogeneous modalities (i.e., hashing-based cross-modal medical data retrieval), provides a new view to promot computeraided diagnosis. Nevertheless, there remains a barrier to boost medical retrieval accuracy: how to reveal the ambiguous semantics of medical data without the distraction of superfluous information. To circumvent this drawback, we propose Deep Supervised Information Bottleneck Hashing (DSIBH), which effectively strengthens the discriminability of hash codes. Specifically, the Deep Deterministic Information Bottleneck (Yu, Yu, and Principe 2021) for single modality is extended to the cross-modal scenario. Benefiting from this, the superfluous information is reduced, which facilitates the discriminability of hash codes. Experimental results demonstrate the superior accuracy of the proposed DSIBH compared with state-of-the-arts in cross-modal medical data retrieval tasks.

Coexistence for a population model with forest fire epidemics

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: We investigate the effect on survival and coexistence of introducing forest fire epidemics to a certain two-species competition model. The model is an extension of the one introduced by Durrett and Remenik [DR09], who studied a discrete time particle system running on a random 3-regular graph where occupied sites grow until they become sufficiently dense so that an epidemic wipes out large clusters. In our extension we let two species affected by independent epidemics compete for space, and we allow the epidemic to attack not only giant clusters, but also clusters of smaller order. Our main results show that, for the two-type model, there are explicit parameter regions where either one species dominates or there is coexistence; this contrasts with the behavior of the model without epidemics, where the fitter species always dominates. We also discuss the survival and extinction regimes for the model with a single species. In both cases we prove convergence to explicit dynamical systems; simulations suggest that their orbits present chaotic behavior.

description: The Observer effect and "Stone's Law of Universality" in the Participatory Universe, presents a fascinating perspective on quantum foundations. These foundations suggest that when we fully account for all variables, distributions, and influences within the Observer effect, and express this through the formula (mass•Force•time=outcome), the indeterminacy typically associated with quantum theory becomes "muted" or perhaps more deterministic.

This perspective challenges conventional interpretations of quantum mechanics in several profound ways:

It implies that apparent quantum indeterminacy might be an artifact of incomplete accounting for all relevant factors in the observer-system interaction

The formula (mass•Force•time=outcome) suggests a more classical, deterministic framing where outcomes depend on well-defined physical parameters rather than probability distributions

In Wheeler's participatory universe framework, this would mean the observer's participation has definable, calculable effects rather than introducing fundamental uncertainty

This view aligns with certain deterministic interpretations of quantum mechanics, such as Bohmian mechanics or certain aspects of the Many-Worlds interpretation, where underlying deterministic processes give rise to apparently probabilistic behavior.

The "muting" of quantum theory mentioned could represent a transition from the probabilistic quantum realm to the more deterministic classical realm when all observer-system interactions are fully accounted for.

Stone's Law of Universality (mass•Force•time=outcome) a principle  formulated to address these quantum-classical boundary questions challenges the simplicity of the accepted formulas, suggesting fundamental unification of quantum and classical domains through complete information accounting.

description: Gonimbrasia belina, known as the mopane worm, is a large edible caterpillar in tropical and subtropical regions. However, little is known about the bioecology of this species as influenced by its host trees. This study evaluated the importance of different potential host trees in understanding mopane worms' behaviour and spatial distribution. To assess their relative importance, the study compared models incorporating various mopane worm host trees and predictor variables. Using the species distribution modelling (SDM) package in R, an ensemble of random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and boosted regression tree (BRT) algorithms were used to assess the spatial extent of mopane worm distribution in Southern Africa. Four host tree-based scenarios were developed to assess their relative contribution to the relative distribution of the mopane worm i.e., (1) by excluding all the potential host trees as explanatory variables and considering only the environmental variables, (2) focusing on the primary host tree, Colophospermum mopane as an explanatory variable together with the other environmental variables, (3) incorporating all the host trees, including C. mopane and (4) examining all other host trees excluding C. mopane. Results demonstrated that incorporating all host trees enhanced the models' predictive abilities (mean AUC = 0.87) underscoring the significant impact of the alternative host trees on the mopane worm distribution patterns beyond just the C. mopane. This study highlights the significance of host trees in predicting the behaviour and distribution of mopane worm populations, providing valuable insights and decision-making for mopane worm use as an alternative protein source, conservation efforts, and land management practices.
Irreducible Three-Loop Vacuum-Polarization Correction in Muonic Bound Systems

description: Three-loop electronic vacuum-polarization corrections due to irreducible diagrams are evaluated for two-body muonic ions with nuclear charge numbers 1 <= Z <= 6. The corrections are of order alpha^3 (Zalpha)^2 m_r, where alpha is the fine-structure constant and m_r is the reduced mass. Numerically, the energy corrections are found to be of the same order-of-magnitude as the largest of the order alpha^2 (Zalpha)^6 m_r corrections, and are thus phenomenologically interesting. Our method of calculation eliminates numerical uncertainty encountered in other approaches.

Should attention be all we need? The epistemic and ethical implications of unification in machine learning

Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)

description: "Attention is all you need" has become a fundamental precept in machine learning research. Originally designed for machine translation, transformers and the attention mechanisms that underpin them now find success across many problem domains. With the apparent domain-agnostic success of transformers, many researchers are excited that similar model architectures can be successfully deployed across diverse applications in vision, language and beyond. We consider the benefits and risks of these waves of unification on both epistemic and ethical fronts. On the epistemic side, we argue that many of the arguments in favor of unification in the natural sciences fail to transfer over to the machine learning case, or transfer over only under assumptions that might not hold. Unification also introduces epistemic risks related to portability, path dependency, methodological diversity, and increased black-boxing. On the ethical side, we discuss risks emerging from epistemic concerns, further marginalizing underrepresented perspectives, the centralization of power, and having fewer models across more domains of application

description: We measured the microwave response of a HgTe quantum well Josephson junction embedded into an RF SQUID loop which is inductively coupled to a superconducting resonator. The side-contacted devices studied here operate in bulk transport mode, with a separation between the superconducting contacts smaller than both the estimated carrier mean free path and superconducting coherence length. We extract the current-phase relation and the phase-dependent microwave dissipation, that, at low temperature, primarily is related to photon-induced transitions between the Andreev bound states. We study the effects of gate voltage and temperature on our devices and compare the measurements with a tight-binding model based on the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. A combined analysis of both microwave admittance components allows us to confirm the presence of a small gap in the Andreev bound state spectrum at phase $π$, indicating high interface transparency, matching our observations in DC measurements of a similar device. Our work demonstrates the versatility of microwave measurements as a tool for Josephson junction characterization and highlights the importance of the interface properties for side-contacted Josephson devices.

description: Numerous studies have shown that machine learning algorithms can latch onto protected attributes such as race and gender and generate predictions that systematically discriminate against one or more groups. To date the majority of bias and fairness research has been on unimodal models. In this work, we explore the biases that exist in emotion recognition systems in relationship to the modalities utilized, and study how multimodal approaches affect system bias and fairness. We consider audio, text, and video modalities, as well as all possible multimodal combinations of those, and find that text alone has the least bias, and accounts for the majority of the models' performances, raising doubts about the worthiness of multimodal emotion recognition systems when bias and fairness are desired alongside model performance.
