description: Extremal optimization is a new general-purpose method for approximating solutions to hard optimization problems. We study the method in detail by way of the NP-hard graph partitioning problem. We discuss the scaling behavior of extremal optimization, focusing on the convergence of the average run as a function of runtime and system size. The method has a single free parameter, which we determine numerically and justify using a simple argument. Our numerical results demonstrate that on random graphs, extremal optimization maintains consistent accuracy for increasing system sizes, with an approximation error decreasing over runtime roughly as a power law t^(-0.4). On geometrically structured graphs, the scaling of results from the average run suggests that these are far from optimal, with large fluctuations between individual trials. But when only the best runs are considered, results consistent with theoretical arguments are recovered.

description: Genus Ptyssalges Atyeo and Gaud
 Ptyssalges major (Trouessart, 1886)
 Hosts and distribution. This species was described ex Eutoxeres aquila (Bourcier) (Apodiformes: Trochilidae) from “ Nouvelle-Grenade ” (Trouessart 1886). This mite has never been recollected since the original description.
 Remarks. In the same publication Trouessart (1886) also gave Phaethornis longirostris (Delattre) (Apodiformes: Trochilidae), as a host of this mite species. However Atyeo and Gaud (1979) examined Trouessart’s material and concluded that mites from P. longirostris belong to an undescribed species.
 Ptyssalges sp.
 Material examined. Ex Heliodoxa imperatrix (Gould) (Apodiformes: Trochilidae): 1 male, Dept. Chocó, San José del Palmar, Vereda La Italia, Alto del Oso, 5 October 1987, coll. L.G. Naranjo, UV No. 5958.

description: RCC*-9 is a recently developed member of the region connection calculus family, and was introduced to represent topological relations in multidimensional space. In this paper, we discuss and address an inconsistency found in the RCC*-9 formalism, and propose a modi fied version of RCC*-9 which we call RCC*0-9. Furthermore, we prove the jointly exclusive and pairwise disjoint property of relations and theorems in the lattice of relations in the modi fied theory. Finally, we confi rm the consistency of RCC*0-9 using a finite model finder.

description: Paradigmatic knotted solitons, Hopfions, that are characterized by topological Hopf invariant, are widely investigated in the diverse areas ranging from high energy physics, cosmology and astrophysics to biology, magneto- and hydrodynamics and condensed matter physics. Yet, while holding high promise for applications, they remain elusive and under-explored. Here we demonstrate that Hopfions emerge as a basic configuration of polarization field in confined ferroelectric nanoparticles. Our findings establish that Hopfions govern a wealth of novel functionalities in the electromagnetic response of composite nanomaterials opening route to unprecedented technological applications.

description: This article presents a re-classification of information seeking (IS) tasks, concepts, and algorithms. The proposed taxonomy provides new dimensions to look into information seeking tasks and methods. The new dimensions include the number of search iterations, search goal types, and procedures to reach these goals. Differences along these dimensions for the information seeking tasks call for suitable computational solutions. The article then reviews machine learning solutions that match each new category. The paper ends with a review of evaluation campaigns for IS systems.

description: By considering a simplified but exact model for realizing the ekpyrotic scenario, we clarify various assumptions that have been used in the literature. In particular, we discuss the new ekpyrotic prescription for passing the perturbations through the singularity which we show to provide a spectrum depending on a non physical normalization function. We also show that this prescription does not reproduce the exact result for a sharp transition. Then, more generally, we demonstrate that, in the only case where a bounce can be obtained in Einstein General Relativity without facing singularities and/or violation of the standard energy conditions, the bounce cannot be made arbitrarily short. This contrasts with the standard (inflationary) situation where the transition between two eras with different values of the equation of state can be considered as instantaneous. We then argue that the usually conserved quantities are not constant on a typical bounce time scale. Finally, we also examine the case of a test scalar field (or gravitational waves) where similar results are obtained. We conclude that the full dynamical equations of the underlying theory should be solved in a non singular case before any conclusion can be drawn.

Thelphusula

description: Thelphusula Bott, 1969
 Remarks. Thelphusula Bott, 1969, was established with Potamon (Geothelphusa) buergeri De Man, 1899, as the type species. Bott (1969) recognised five other species in the genus as he defined it at the time: Potamon (Potamonautes) baramensis De Man, 1902, Potamon (Geothelphusa) hendersonianum De Man, 1899, Potamon (Geothelphusa) kadamaianum Borradaile, 1900, Parathelphusa (Liothelphusa) luidana Chace, 1938, and Potamon (Potamon) melanippe De Man, 1899 (see also Bott, 1970: 58). Potamon (Thelphusa) bidiensis Lanchester, 1900, was regarded as a junior subjective synonym of Thelphusula melanippe, while Potamon kadamaianum was treated as its subspecies by Bott (1970). Ng (1989a: 64) questioned Bott’s (1970) concept of Thelphusula and argued that it should be separated into three distinct morphological groups. He disputed Bott’s (1970) synonymisation of Potamon bidiensis with T. melanippe; recognised it as a distinct species and referred it to a monotypic genus, Stygothelphusa Ng, 1989a. Ng (1991) subsequently established a new genus, Arachnothelphusa, for Potamon (Potamon) melanippe De Man, 1899, and Potamon (Geothelphusa) kadamaianum Borradaile, 1900, treating both as distinct species. Ng (1995), in describing a new genus from western Sarawak, showed that Potamon (Geothelphusa) hendersonianum De Man, 1899, had been incorrectly placed in Thelphusula as it has differently structured G1 and G2, and should be transferred to Bakousa Ng, 1995, instead. Tan & Ng (1998) revised Thelphusula, restricted the diagnosis for nine species and established a new genus, Coccusa, for two species from Borneo in which the carapace is ovate and much smoother, and most significantly, the G1 terminal segment is very long, slender and as long as the subterminal segment (versus distinctly shorter than the subterminal segment in Thelphusula s. str.).
 Ng & Grinang (2004) recognised a third species of Coccusa from western Sarawak. Although only one adult female specimen was available, they noted that the general carapace shape and features agreed better with Coccusa and therefore referred it to this genus, even though it was the most granulated of the three known taxa. The collection of more specimens of the Sarawakian species, including males, shows that Coccusa should be restricted for species with smoother carapaces. On the basis of the gonopod structures, Coccusa cristicervix Ng & Grinang, 2004, must be transferred to Thelphusula instead.

description: Neutron production induced by ($α$,n) reactions is important in various scenarios. One of the most relevant ones is related to underground dark matter experiments, where the neutrons produced by the $α$-decay from radioactive contaminants in the detector materials can generate an irreducible background, limiting the sensitivity of the experiment. A precise estimate of the background due to these neutrons is crucial for the experiments currently taking data and for the design of the next generation detectors. In this work, we prove that Geant4 can be used to calculate neutron yields and energy spectra induced by $α$-decay. These neutrons are produced according to the information compiled in data libraries originally written in the ENDF-6 format. In this article we also review the different databases available, showing the differences and similarities among them. Finally, we compare several Geant4 neutron production yields and spectra with experimental data and other codes.

description: In this paper the Zipf-Mandelbrot law is revisited in the context of linguistics. Despite its widespread popularity the Zipf--Mandelbrot law can only describe the statistical behaviour of a rather restricted fraction of the total number of words contained in some given corpus. In particular, we focus our attention on the important deviations that become statistically relevant as larger corpora are considered and that ultimately could be understood as salient features of the underlying complex process of language generation. Finally, it is shown that all the different observed regimes can be accurately encompassed within a single mathematical framework recently introduced by C. Tsallis.

description: Proteins are primary effectors of drug action, hence it is essential to study how drugs can affect protein expression, and activity. In cancer research, it is common to study the effects of anticancer drugs on proteins. Pharmacoproteomics plays an important role in determining the effects of anti-cancer drugs on protein expression. More so, the effect of drugs on protein activity can be studied using enzymatic assays, such as vivid assay. The influence of doxorubicin, doxorubicin-solvent, paclitaxel, and paclitaxel-solvent on the activity of cytochrome p450 enzymes present in mouse liver microsomes was analysed. The differences in gender was also observed. Given that vivid assays are designed for human models, the ability to use mouse models for vivid assays was also determined. Vivid assay revealed that female mice had generally higher activity than male mice, after analysis with 20mg/ml (male) and 100mg/ml (female) mouse liver microsomal fraction. The exact alteration in cytochrome p450 activity cannot be determined due to the lack of specificity of the substrates and the presence of other proteins in the samples. However, the protein activity observed could be partly due to the presence of CYP450 enzymes in the samples. There was a significant difference between treated and untreated female samples (p ≥ 0.05), however, treated and untreated male samples showed no significant difference (p ≤ 0.05). This experiment showed that it is possible to use mouse models for vivid assays although some improvements may be necessary.

description: INTRODUCTION: Peripheral arterial calcification is typically most prominent in the femoropopliteal (FP) segment, and its effect on endovascular treatment (EVT) processes and outcomes is poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the pattern of FP calcification on EVT outcomes.

METHODS: We designed a retrospective, single-center, comparative study. From January 2023 to February 2024, all patients with peripheral arterial disease who underwent EVT by a single operator as a first limb revascularization procedure for FP lesions only were considered. The calcification pattern was assessed through a qualitative fluoroscopic and angiographic evaluation. According to the degree of calcification, the patients were grouped into mild to moderate calcification (MC) and severe calcification (SC). Both groups were compared regarding the primary endpoints: reintervention rates, amputation and overall survival.

RESULTS: The study included 45 patients, of which 8 (18%) presented with intermittent claudication and 37 (82%) with chronic limb threatening ischemia. The median time of follow-up was 7 months. The MC group included 71% of the patients and the SV group included 29%. The median femoropopliteal GLASS classification was 4 in both groups. No statistically significant differences were found between groups in rates of reintervention (p=0.97), amputation (p=0.86) and overall survival (p=0.45). There were two major amputations in the MC group and one in SV group after eleven months of follow-up. Higher rates of subintimal angioplasty (38% vs. 12%, p=0.048) and contralateral retrograde access (54% vs. 22%, p=0.03) were found in the SC group.

CONCLUSIONS: In our cohort, highly calcified FP lesions were statistically related to contralateral retrograde access and subintimal cross-lesion pathway. However, the degree of calcification did not influence the most relevant clinical outcomes.

description: It is well known that a weakly coupled U(N) gauge theory on a torus with sides of length L has extra light states with energies of order 1/NL. We show that a similar result holds for gauge theories on M/G where M is any compact Riemannian manifold and G is any freely acting discrete isometry group. As in the toroidal case, this is achieved by adding a suitable nontrivial flat connection. As one application, we consider the AdS/CFT correspondence on spacetimes asymptotic to AdS_5/G. By considering finite size effects at nonzero temperature, we show that consistency requires these extra light states of the gauge theory on S^3/G.

description: Für die gemeinsame Agrarpolitik der EU nach 2020 wurden verschiedene Varianten formuliert, die Prämien für größere Betriebe zu reduzieren, bis hin zu einer verbindlichen Obergrenze für Beträge über 100.000 EUR je Betrieb. Dies wird damit begründet, dass große Betriebe höhere Gewinne erzielten und durch Skaleneffekte geringere Kosten hätten. Diese Betriebsgrößeneffekte wurden auf Basis von Testbetriebsabschlüssen aus den am stärksten betroffenen Regionen Deutschlands untersucht. Im Ergebnis zeigte sich, dass nicht von einem linearen Zusammenhang zwischen Betriebsgröße und Gewinn ausgegangen werden kann. Dies lässt sich auch leicht nachvollziehen: In Zeiten mit niedrigen Erzeugerpreisen oder Missernten haben viele Betriebe mit Verlust abgeschlossen, der mit zunehmender Betriebsgröße entsprechend höher ausfiel. Es kann daher nicht von einem eindeutig positiven Zusammenhang zwischen Betriebsgröße und Gewinn ausgegangen werden. Größere Betriebe können entsprechend der Kostentheorie einen Wettbewerbsvorteil durch geringeren Aufwand für Arbeitserledigung haben. In der vorliegenden Studie passte sich ein sphärisches Modell am besten an die Daten an. Ein Größeneffekt zeigte sich bei Ackerbaubetrieben bis zu einer Größe von 250 ha LF. Die vorgeschlagene Obergrenze für Betriebsprämien würde erst ab 416 ha LF wirken, sie passte damit nicht zu dem Kostendegressionseffekt, der hierzu als Begründung genannt wird. Die Höhe der Wirkung betrüge das doppelte dessen, was Ackerbaubetriebe mit der Fläche an Bodenrente erwirtschaften. Eine Prämienkürzung kann nicht durch Kosteneinsparung kompensiert werden, sie würde den Wettbewerb zwischen Betrieben unterschiedlicher Größe verzerren und damit bestimmter Betriebs- und Kooperationsformen in der Landwirtschaft erheblich benachteiligen.

description: This article investigates the production efficiency of rice farming in Sri Lanka using cross section survey data of 90 farms. Past studies on rice farming have mostly focused on technical efficiency (TE). Here, we examine technical efficiency, allocative efficiency (AE) and cost efficiency (CE) using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach. On average, the farms were 87% technically efficient; irrigated farms were more efficient (88%) than rain-fed farms (82%). Average cost, allocative and scale efficiencies were 73%, 84% and 87%. Bias corrected TE estimate suggests an expected output expansion of 25% with a given input combination in order to become fully efficient as opposed to 16% based on the original estimates. In addition, a second stage Tobit regression shows that efficiency is influenced by farm size, water security, ownership, seed quality, family labour endowment and female labour participation.

description: In this paper, we establish a deformation theory for Dolbeault cohomology classes valued in holomorphic tensor bundles. We prove the extension equation which will play the role of Maurer-Cartan equation. Following the classical theory of Kodaira-Spencer-Kuranishi, we construct a canonical complete family of deformations by using the power series method. We also prove a simple relation between the existence of deformations and the varying of the dimensions of Dolbeault cohomology. The deformations of $(p,q)$-forms is shown to be unobstructed under some mild conditions. By analyzing Nakamura's example of complex parallelizable manifolds, we will see that the deformation theory developed in this work provides precise explanations to the jumping phenomenon of Dolbeault cohomology.

Early type stars at high galactic latitudes I. Ten young massive B-type stars

description: We present the results of quantitative spectral analyses of ten apparently normal B-type stars. These stars were found to be young massive B-type stars at distances of z=2.6 to 7.6 kpc from the galactic plane based on their positions in the (Teff, log g) diagram, normal abundance patterns and/or large projected rotational velocities. We discuss formation scenarios (runaway star scenarios versus a scenario for star formation in the halo) by comparing times-of-flight and evolutionary time scales. For all stars (except SB 357 and HS 1914+7139) both the scales are similar, indicating that the stars could have formed in the galactic disk and been ejected from there soon aftertheir birth. Derived ejection velocities range from 130 km/s to 440 km/s and may be used to constrain models for ejection mechanisms. Using new proper motion measurements we show that PHL 346, which was considered the most likely candidate for a young B-type star born in the halo, can be explained as a runaway star from the galactic plane.

Effects of signs in tunneling matrix elements on transmission zeros and phase

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: The effect of the signs in the tunneling matrix elements on the transmission zeros and the transmission phase in transport through a quantum dot is studied. The existence of the transmission zeros is determined by both the relative signs and the strength of the tunneling matrix elements for two neighboring energy levels of a dot. The experimentally observed oscillating behavior of the transmission phase over several Coulomb peaks can be explained by the uniform distribution of the relative signs. Based on the simple model of a quantum dot, we present a possible scenario which can give the uniform signs over several conductance peaks. We suggest that the location of the transmission zeros can be identified by inspecting the Fano interference pattern in the linear response conductance of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer with an embedded quantum as a function of the number of electrons in a dot and the AB flux.

Notes on the $D=11$ pure spinor superparticle

description: The $D=11$ pure spinor superparticle has been shown to describe linearized $D=11$ supergravity in a manifestly covariant way. A number of authors have proposed that its correlation functions be used to compute amplitudes. The use of the scalar structure of the eleven-dimensional pure spinor top cohomology introduces a natural measure for computing such correlation functions. This prescription requires the construction of ghost number one and zero vertex operators. In these notes, we construct explicitly a ghost number one vertex operator but show the incompatibiliy of a ghost number zero vertex operator satisfying a standard descent equation for $D=11$ supergravity.

description: This paper provides an empirical analysis of the role of intergovernmental relations on a country's effort to enforce the objectives of an international environmental agreement on an open access resource. Intergovernmental interaction allows signatory countries to observe compliance behavior of other signees and to punish non-compliance by applying bi- and multilateral sanctions. We use a cross-sectional dataset that contains country level information about compliance with Article 7 of the 1995 UN Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. Our identification strategy combines a spatial autoregressive model with spatial autoregressive disturbances and an instrumental variable approach. We find a strong positive effect of other countries' compliance on the individual country's compliance score. These results suggest that repeated interactions among participants might not only play a role in enforcing the obligations of an agreement at the community level but also have an impact at the international level.
