Antennuloniscus

description: Antennuloniscus Menzies, 1962
 Type species: Antennuloniscus dimeroceras (Barnard, 1920).
 Diagnosis. Haploniscidae with third peduncle article of antenna 2 elongate and grooved to accommodate the distal articles when the antenna is folded caudally. Peduncle article 4 short, 5 and 6 fused; whip-like flagellum small, slender and subterminal.
 Remarks. This genus is similar to Haploniscus but undoubtedly different as discussed by Menzies and Schultz (1968) in describing Antennuloniscus subellipticus from the south Atlantic off Cape Horn, and A. quadratus from the Indian ocean off Madagascar. The type species A. dimeroceras Barnard, 1920 was collected from both the north and south Atlantic. Two other south Atlantic deep-sea species are A. ornatus Menzies, 1962 off Cape Horn and South Georgia and A. armatus Menzies 1962, from off South Africa. Chardy (1974) described yet another species, A. dilatatus, from the north-east Atlantic off the Azores. The addition of two new species, A. menziesi n. sp. and A. lincolni n. sp. from the north-west Atlantic, in this study, brings the total known species of this genus to nine. This genus was not reported by Menzies and George (1972) while studying haploniscid isopods in the south-east Pacific, and it was not found in the north-east Pacific, in the study of haploniscids by Birstein (1963).

description: Cerebellar ataxia and epileptic encephalopathies are two devastating disorders associated with the central nervous system. Many cases of these disorders are without a genetic diagnosis, indicating that additional genes remain to be identified. In this thesis, I evaluate two genes for their potential to cause cerebellar ataxia when mutated. The gene UBA5 has recently been identified to cause both epileptic encephalopathy and cerebellar ataxia when mutated, but the function of the gene in the nervous system is not understood. Therefore, I created a zebrafish model for this disease and determined how loss of this gene results in the symptoms observed.

description: Paraphrases represent a human's intuitive ability to understand expressions presented in various different ways. Current paraphrase evaluations of language models primarily use binary approaches, offering limited interpretability of specific text changes. Atomic paraphrase types (APT) decompose paraphrases into different linguistic changes and offer a granular view of the flexibility in linguistic expression (e.g., a shift in syntax or vocabulary used). In this study, we assess the human preferences towards ChatGPT in generating English paraphrases with ten APTs and five prompting techniques. We introduce APTY (Atomic Paraphrase TYpes), a dataset of 800 sentence-level and word-level annotations by 15 annotators. The dataset also provides a human preference ranking of paraphrases with different types that can be used to fine-tune models with RLHF and DPO methods. Our results reveal that ChatGPT and a DPO-trained LLama 7B model can generate simple APTs, such as additions and deletions, but struggle with complex structures (e.g., subordination changes). This study contributes to understanding which aspects of paraphrasing language models have already succeeded at understanding and what remains elusive. In addition, we show how our curated datasets can be used to develop language models with specific linguistic capabilities.

description: Spectroscopic and photometric observations have been made of the cyanogen band strength distributions within the five globular clusters NGC 362, NGC 3201, MS, M71 and MSS. Of these, the first three, and probably M71, are found to exhibit bimodal CN distributions. In NGC 3201, MS and M71, the CN-enhanced giants, on average, have weaker CH and/or CO bands than the CN-poor giants. This suggests the presence of a C,N abundance anticorrelation between the CN-weak and CN-strong populations of giants.

description: Millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems must operate over sparse wireless links and will require large antenna arrays to provide high throughput. To achieve sufficient array gains, these systems must learn and adapt to the channel state conditions. However, conventional MIMO channel estimation can not be directly extended to millimeter wave due to the constraints on cost-effective millimeter wave operation imposed on the number of available RF chains. Sparse subspace scanning techniques that search for the best subspace sample from the sounded subspace samples have been investigated for channel estimation.However, the performance of these techniques starts to deteriorate as the array size grows, especially for the hybrid precoding architecture. The millimeter wave channel estimation challenge still remains and should be properly addressed before the system can be deployed and used to its full potential. In this work, we propose a sparse subspace decomposition (SSD) technique for sparse millimeter wave MIMO channel estimation. We formulate the channel estimation as an optimization problem that minimizes the subspace distance from the received subspace samples. Alternating optimization techniques are devised to tractably handle the non-convex problem. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other existing techniques with remarkably low overhead.

description: Based on a general approach to binary systems we show that in the low density region asymmetric nuclear matter (ANM) is unstable only against isoscalarlike fluctuations. The physical meaning of the thermodynamical chemical and mechanical instabilities is related to the inequality relations verified by the strength of interaction among different components. Relevance of these results in bulk and neck fragmentation is discussed.

description: The number of chronically hungry people currently hovers just below the one billion mark, according to FAO. That figure, however, hides an even greater problem. Roughly two billion people, most of them women and young children, suffer malnutrition associated with a lack of micronutrients and vitamins. Furthermore, so-called diseases of affluence, such as type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and cancers are increasing most rapidly in developing countries. The underlying reason for both of these observations is that diets have become simpler. The prevailing highly medicalised view of micronutrient deficiency sees only supplements and biofortification as effective treatments. Neither approach, however, often does not reach the poorest sectors of society where they are most needed. Similarly, while developed country governments exhort citizens to eat a greater diversity of fruit and vegetables for their health, such policies do not appear to be common in developing countries. Agricultural biodiversity offers an alternative approach to malnutrition and health, with additional important benefits for productivity, environmental sustainability and human and economic development. Examples will be presented of research to make greater use of agricultural biodiversity to increase dietary diversity, often using local diversity and addressing agronomic, social, marketing and other constraints. Much current agricultural research for development is focused on increasing major nutrients, such as protein and carbohydrate, at the expense of micronutrients. It will be argued that better nutrition and health would be just one outcome of more research into the wider use of agricultural biodiversity.

description: Green tea intake is generally recognized as an effective supplement that promotes mental clarity and cognitive function. These health benefits of green tea have been attributed mainly to its effective component, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Because various catechin derivatives potently enhance these health benefits, we manipulated the extraction process with a high-temperature intervention. High-temperature-processed green tea extract (HTP-GTE) showed an elevated proportion of gallocatechin gallate (GCG) content. To investigate the preventive effects of HTP-GTE on cognitive decline, we found its neuroprotective effects against amyloid β (Aβ)-induced neurotoxicity in neurons and clarified that GCG significantly inhibited Aβ aggregation in vitro. Moreover, we showed that HTP-GTE intake attenuated several cognitive-decline phenotypes in a model mouse of Alzheimer’s disease. These beneficial effects of HTP-GTE against cognitive decline were due to the distinctive composition of the extract and suggest the possibility that HTP-GTE supplementation could attenuate cognitive decline of Alzheimer’s disease. HTP-GTE which contains high rate of GCG inhibited Aβ aggregation in vitro and reduced Aβ in insoluble fraction in vivo.

description: Over the past two decades, photonics have been developed as technological solutions for astronomical instrumentation for, e.g., near-infrared spectroscopy and long baseline interferometry. With increasing instrument capabilities, large quantities of high precision optical components are required to guide, manipulate, and analyze the light from astronomical sources. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and fiber-based devices offer enormous potential for astronomical instrumentation, as they can reduce the amount of bulky free-space optics and pave the way for innovative solutions. Astrophotonic devices are particularly interesting for interferometry due to their compact design on the centimeter scale, even for a large number of telescope inputs. Already, astrophotonic components are integrated in high-end instruments at the VLTI and at the CHARA Array. Photonic beam combiners at wavelengths from visible to mid-infrared have been fabricated using lithographic techniques or ultrafast-laser inscription, with several components tested on-sky. This paper will provide a glimpse into the growing field of astrophotonics, its current status and potential for new technologies.

description: Analysis of modern methods of evaluation of resilience of transport and logistics systems (TLS) in the management of their configuration and reconfiguration under conditions of destructive effects has shown that in the design and creation of TLS it is necessary to develop conceptually new methodological approach to the detection of disruption scenarios, recovery paths in TLS and carry out analysis of such important property of TLS as structural resilience of their configuration. The outcomes of this research constitute a useful decision-making support tool that allows detecting disruption scenarios at different risk-aversion levels based on the quantification of the structural robustness with the use of the genome method and observing the scope of disruption propagation. Our results can be of value for decision-makers to compare different TLS structural designs regarding the robustness and to identify disruption scenarios that interrupt the TLS operations to different extents.

description: In the study of crystal nucleation via computer simulations, hard spheres are arguably the most extensively explored model system. Nonetheless, even in this simple model system, the complex thermodynamics of crystal nuclei can sometimes give rise to counterintuitive results, such as the recent observation that the pressure inside a critical nucleus is lower than that of the surrounding fluid, seemingly clashing with the strictly positive Young--Laplace pressure we would expect in liquid droplets. Here, we re-derive many of the founding equations associated with crystal nucleation, and use the hard-sphere model to demonstrate how they give rise to this negative pressure difference. We exploit the fact that, in the canonical ensemble, a nucleus can be in a (meta)stable equilibrium with the fluid, and measure the surface stress for both flat and curved interfaces. Additionally, we explain the effect of defects on the chemical potential inside the crystal nucleus. Lastly, we present a simple, fitted thermodynamic model to capture the properties of the nucleus, including the work required to form critical nuclei.

description: The Kyoto protocol and the EU Directive 2009/28/EC focus their attention on the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. The use of biofuels in the transport sector is one of the main measures proposed. This paper evaluates the environmental impact, in terms of GHG emissions, of the production and use of rapeseed biodiesel, comparing the results with conventional diesel. The methodology used is the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The results of the analysis show that the production of rapeseed biodiesel entails a substantial reduction of the GHG emissions compared to the diesel production system. Furthermore, the agricultural phase is identified as the process which causes the largest amount of GHG emissions in biodiesel life cycle. Therefore it could be possible to improve further the environmental performance of biodiesel intervening properly at that stage.

description: Host migration is a networking process that allows another player to take over as the game host when the original host disconnects, ensuring no loss of progress for the other players. Despite its potential to improve multiplayer stability and eliminate dedicated server costs, it is generally considered a dead concept due to technical complexity and production cost constraints. This research explores the feasibility of implementing effective host migration strategies in online co-op games made in Unity. Various approaches were researched for performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency, offering practical solutions tailored for indie developers. Not only the feasibility of host migration but also the scalability of such an implementation was extensively tested and analyzed. There was data analysis done on 372 raw entries, comparing the performance of server-side and client-side information synchronization post host migration, which showed promising results.

Antennuloniscus lincolni

description: Antennuloniscus lincolni n. sp.
(figure 16)
 Diagnosis. Antennuloniscus with cephalon as long as the anterior two pereonites together, and with undulating frontal margin, lacking median projection. Pleotelson anteriorly much broader, narrowing posteriorly, with short triangular posterolateral projections. Antenna 1 with a foliaceous basal article, and extremely short fourth article. Uropod uniramous, tip of ramus reaching beyond the rounded pleotelson apex and reaching to the tip of the posterolateral projection.
 Material examined. Holotype: female with well-developed brood plates, length 2.5 mm, width 1.0 mm. USNM Cat. No. 138684.
 Type locality. R / V Eastward Sta. 6218, site Beta over the Carolina lower slope.
 Etymology. This new species is named in honour of isopodologist Dr Roger Lincoln of the Natural History Museum, London, UK.
 Description. Body somewhat quadrate in shape, with cephalon twice as long as pereonites 1 and 2 combined, frontal margin of the cephalon undulating, lacking a median projection. Pereonites 1–3 subequal. Pereonite 4 more than twice as long as pereonite 5. Lateral sutures well-developed between pereonites. Pereonite 7 fused with pleotelson. Lateral lobes of pereonites 1–5 with sparse short setae on the dorsal surface. Pleotelson broad anteriorly, narrower posteriorly, with short triangular posterolateral projections. Apex of pleotelson rounded.
Antenna 1 of six articles, basal article globular, article 2 narrow and long, article 3 shorter than article 2, article 4 extremely short; terminal two articles subequal. Antenna 2 with basal peduncle article less than half length of the second article, article 3 shorter than second and article 4 elongated, with distal spine short, and the whip-like flagellum of eight articles. Uropod uniramous, tip of ramus extending beyond the rounded apex of the pleotelson, and to the tip of the posterolateral projections.
 Remarks. Antennuloniscus lincolni n. sp. exhibits some superficial resemblance to the other new species A. menziesi, discovered from the same site Beta over the Carolina lower slope. These two species lack any median projection on the frontal margin of the cephalon, and in both pereonite 7 is fused mid-dorsally with the pleotelson. However, short triangular posterolateral projections in A. lincolni are distinctly different from the long posterolateral projections of the pleotelson in A. menziesi. Furthermore, article 4 of antenna 1 is very short in A. lincolni but long in A. menziesi. The distal spine on article 3 of antenna 2 is produced in A. menziesi but rather short in A. lincolni .

description: The late assembly of massive galaxies is thought to be dominated by stellar accretion in their outskirts (beyond 2 effective radii Re) due to dry, minor galaxy mergers. We use observations of 1010 passive early-type galaxies (ETGs) within z<0.15 from SDSS IV MaNGA to search for evidence of this accretion. The outputs from the stellar population fitting codes FIREFLY, pPXF, and Prospector are compared to control for systematic errors in stellar metallicity (Z) estimation. We find that the average radial logZ/Zsun profiles of ETGs in various stellar mass (M) bins are not linear. As a result, these profiles are poorly characterized by a single gradient value, explaining why weak trends reported in previous work can be difficult to interpret. Instead, we examine the full radial extent of stellar metallicity profiles and find them to flatten in the outskirts of M>10^{11}Msun ETGs. This is a signature of stellar accretion. Based on a toy model for stellar metallicity profiles, we infer the ex-situ stellar mass fraction in ETGs as a function of M and galactocentric radius. We find that ex-situ stars at 2Re make up 20% of the projected stellar mass of M<10^{10.5}Msun ETGs, rising up to 80% for M>10^{11.5}Msun ETGs.

description: The most frequent reason for the violation of the train schedule is the failure of the technical facilities of the infrastructure complex. The number and duration of train downtime and, as a result, the economic losses of Russian Railways depends on the time of search and elimination of failures. Today, failure search is carried out in an intuitive way. In practice, such a path leads to unnecessary time costs.In the study of methods for constructing algorithms, they were classified in terms of the possibility of constructing a model in which each step is a function of all previous steps and the functions cover the entire space of failures. We built these functions and described the generation model of such functions. Such a model for constructing functions can be applied to any technical branch. For the railway infrastructure, 6 functions were obtained. An automatic self-learning system has been developed, which is a multilayer neural network constructed according to a recurrence model. Based on this model, a hardware-software complex was implemented and tested.

description: Electrical magnetochiral anisotropy (EMCA) refers to the chirality- and current-dependent nonlinear magnetoresistance in chiral conductors and is commonly interpreted in a semimclassical picture. In this work, we reveal a quantum geometry origin of EMCA by a chiral rectangular lattice model that resembles a chiral organic conductor (DM-EDT-TTF)${}_2$ClO${}_4$ studied for EMCA recently and exhibits symmetry-protected Dirac bands similar to those of graphene. Compared to the semiclassical term, we find that Dirac states contribute significantly to EMCA by the quantum metric when Fermi energy is close to the Dirac point. Besides, we discovered topological insulator state can emerge once SOC is added to our chiral model lattice. Our work paves a path to understand quantum geometry in the magneto-transport of chiral materials.

description: We used a primary panel survey at the household level conducted in 18 remote natural villages over three waves in China to study how road access shapes farmers’ agricultural production patterns and input uses. Our results show that access to roads is strongly associated with specialization in agricultural production. In natural villages with better road access, farmers plant fewer numbers of crops, purchase more fertilizer, and invest more money on labor hiring. In combination of these factors, road connections improve household agricultural income, and in particular cash income. However, better access to rural roads does not appear to bring about significant changes in non-agricultural income.

description: This paper analyzes the sources of rural non-farm sector growth in the Philippines, which has become the main driver of rural poverty reduction. We find that agricultural growth has significantly positive effects on service sector growth (with elasticity of about 0.20) but little effects on manufacturing growth, suggesting that rural labor force is sufficiently mobile or capital is relatively immobile across provinces. We also identify different roles played by national road networks, on the one hand, and local roads, on the other. We find that local road facilitates rural service sector development while national road facilitates agricultural growth.

This paper presents the experience of using the model of the software-hardware complex, which incorporates the psycho(color)semantic technique "Tsvetomer" and eyes-gaze-tracking, used for examination of practically healthy people in conditions of perception of visual information from the computer monitor.

description: Modeling and rendering of dynamic scenes is challenging, as natural scenes often contain complex phenomena such as thin structures, evolving topology, translucency, scattering, occlusion, and biological motion. Mesh-based reconstruction and tracking often fail in these cases, and other approaches (e.g., light field video) typically rely on constrained viewing conditions, which limit interactivity. We circumvent these difficulties by presenting a learning-based approach to representing dynamic objects inspired by the integral projection model used in tomographic imaging. The approach is supervised directly from 2D images in a multi-view capture setting and does not require explicit reconstruction or tracking of the object. Our method has two primary components: an encoder-decoder network that transforms input images into a 3D volume representation, and a differentiable ray-marching operation that enables end-to-end training. By virtue of its 3D representation, our construction extrapolates better to novel viewpoints compared to screen-space rendering techniques. The encoder-decoder architecture learns a latent representation of a dynamic scene that enables us to produce novel content sequences not seen during training. To overcome memory limitations of voxel-based representations, we learn a dynamic irregular grid structure implemented with a warp field during ray-marching. This structure greatly improves the apparent resolution and reduces grid-like artifacts and jagged motion. Finally, we demonstrate how to incorporate surface-based representations into our volumetric-learning framework for applications where the highest resolution is required, using facial performance capture as a case in point.

description: We investigate implications of quark-hadron duality for hybrid mesons in the large-Nc limit. A simple formalism is developed which implements duality for QCD two-point functions of currents of quark bilinears, with any number of gluons. We argue that the large-Nc meson masses share a common parameter, which is related to the QCD string tension. This parameter is fixed from correlators of conserved vector and axial-vector currents, and using lattice QCD determinations of the string tension. Our results predict towers of hybrid mesons which, within expected 1/Nc corrections, naturally accommodate the 1^(-+) experimental hybrid candidates.

description: We analyze the influence of extra dimensions on the static equilibrium configurations and stability against radial perturbations. For this purpose, we solve stellar structure equations and radial perturbation equations, both modified for a $d$-dimensional spacetime ($d\geq4$) considering that spacetime outside the object is described by a Schwarzschild-Tangherlini metric. These equations are integrated considering a MIT bag model equation of state extended for $d\geq4$. We show that the spacetime dimension influences both the structure and stability of compact objects. For an interval of central energy densities $ρ_{cd}\,G_d$ and total masses $MG_d/(d-3)$, we show that the stars gain more stability when the dimension is increased. In addition, the maximum value of $M{G_d}/(d-3)$ and the zero eigenfrequency of oscillation are found with the same value of $ρ_{cd}\,G_d$; i.e., the peak value of $M{G_d}/(d-3)$ marks the onset of instability. This indicates that the necessary and sufficient conditions to recognize regions constructed by stable and unstable equilibrium configurations against radial perturbations are, respectively, $dM/dρ_{cd}>0$ and $dM/dρ_{cd}<0$. We obtain that some physical parameter of the compact object in a $d$-dimensional spacetime, such as the radius and the mass, depend of the normalization. Finally, within the Newtonian framework, the results show that compact objects with adiabatic index $Γ_1\geq2(d-2)/(d-1)$ are stable against small radial perturbations.

description: In this paper we investigate weak decays of heavy mesons in the framework of a covariant quark model, which is based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation in instantaneous approximation. Apart from a phenomenological confinement potential, a residual interaction induced by instantons is adopted. Masses and many decay observables of light mesons have already been described successfully in this model. An appropiate extension allows a unified description of light and heavy systems. Using a set of parameters which are fixed by the mass spectra, we evaluate the form factors of semileptonic decays of charmed and bottom mesons. In the heavy quark limit these can be reduced to the Isgur-Wise function, which is calculated. Finally the form factors are used to determine the non-leptonic decay rates of B mesons in the factorization approximation.

description: Tunable scattering resonances are crucial for controlling atomic and molecular systems. However, their use has so far been limited to ultracold temperatures. These conditions remain hard to achieve for most hybrid trapped ion-atom systems -- a prospective platform for quantum technologies and fundamental research. Here we measure inelastic collision probabilities for ${\text{Sr}^++\text{Rb}}$ and use them to calibrate a comprehensive theoretical model of ion-atom collisions. Our theoretical results, compared with experimental observations, confirm that quantum interference effects persist to the multiple-partial-wave regime, leading to the pronounced state and mass dependence of the collision rates. Using our model, we go beyond interference and identify a rich spectrum of Feshbach resonances at moderate magnetic fields with the Rb atom in its lower ($f=1$) hyperfine state, which persist at temperatures as high as 1 mK. Future observation of these predicted resonances should allow precise control of the short-range dynamics in ${\text{Sr}^+}+{\text{Rb}}$ collisions under unprecedentedly warm conditions.

On the quantification of entanglement in infinite-dimensional quantum systems

description: We investigate entanglement measures in the infinite-dimensional regime. First, we discuss the peculiarities that may occur if the Hilbert space of a bi-partite system is infinite-dimensional, most notably the fact that the set of states with infinite entropy of entanglement is trace-norm dense in state space, implying that in any neighborhood of every product state there lies an arbitrarily strongly entangled state. The starting point for a clarification of this counterintuitive property is the observation that if one imposes the natural and physically reasonable constraint that the mean energy is bounded from above, then the entropy of entanglement becomes a trace-norm continuous functional. The considerations will then be extended to the asymptotic limit, and we will prove some asymptotic continuity properties. We proceed by investigating the entanglement of formation and the relative entropy of entanglement in the infinite-dimensional setting. Finally, we show that the set of entangled states is still trace-norm dense in state space, even under the constraint of a finite mean energy.

Modified hybrid inflation in no-scale SUGRA with suppressed $R$-symmetry breaking

description: A well-motivated cosmological hybrid inflation scenario based on no-scale SUGRA is considered. It is demonstrated that an extra suppressed $R$-symmetry breaking term $S^n$ with $n\geq 4$ needs to be included in order to realize successful inflation. The resulting potential is found to be similar (but not identical) to the one in the Starobinsky inflation model. A relatively larger tensor-to-scalar ratio $r\sim 10^{-2}$ and a spectral index $n_s\approx 0.965$ are obtained, which are approximately independent of $n$.
