description: Xylotrechus (Xylotrechus) arvicola arvicola (Olivier, 1800)
  Especie euromediterránea presente en toda la Península Ibérica debido a su polifagia en la fase larvaria, lo que le confiere en mayor o menor medida cierta ubicuidad, aunque tiene una mayor preferencia por los bosques con presencia de vegetación propia del piso mediterráneo (GONZÁLEZ PEÑA et al., 2007). En coincidencia con lo dicho por MORENO VARGAS (2005), fuimos capaces también de obtener varios ejemplares a partir de restos leñosos de vides, en esta ocasión procedentes de la comarca de O Ribeiro (Ourense). En Galicia está citada de las cuatro provincias (L̎ PEZ-VAAMONDE et al., 2000).
  Especie considerada en la IUCN Red List como de “ Preocupación menor ”, con poblAciones europeas estables, a pesar de los datos que confirman tendencia a un declive poblacional por culpa de la fragmentación (MASON et al., 2010).

Year: 2022

description: In this article we give a construction of eigenvarieties by geometrically interpolating coherent automorphic sheaves of (PEL) Shimura varieties and their global sections. The new feature is that we particularly study the case of an empty ordinary locus, and thus use a replacement of the canonical subgroup in this situation. We specifically take into account the case of small primes and use this particular construction at a specific endoscopic point to prove new cases of the Bloch-Kato conjecture for characters of an imaginary quadratic field.

Reducing randomness in computation via explicit constructions
Creators: name: Zhou, Shiyu
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1996

description: One of the important issues in both complexity theory and algorithm design is to understand whether randomness can be more powerful than determinism. In this dissertation, we explore some problems related to this issue and study how to reduce randomness in computation via explicit combinatorial constructions. One approach to achieving determinism from randomness is by way of applying pseudorandom generators. We examine the relationship between constructing pseudorandom generators for space bounded computation and designing space- efficient deterministic algorithms for approximating matrix powering. As a consequence, we show that any randomized algorithm that runs in space O(S) and terminates can be simulated deterministically in space O(S3/2), where the previously best known simulation required space O(S2) following Savitch's Theorem. Deterministic amplification is one of the major subjects in the study of reducing randomness. An important issue in randomized computation that is essentially equivalent to deterministic amplification is to design randomized algorithms that are robust with respect to deviations of the random source from true randomness. It has been observed that this issue is closely connected to the problem of efficiently constructing graphs with certain expansion properties, called dispersers. We give an improved construction of a family of dispersers that can be used to design randomized algorithms achieving maximal robustness. Our construction settles a conjecture of Sipser that the complexity class Strong Randomized Polynomial Time (Strong-RP) is equivalent to Randomized Polynomial Time (RP). Our effort at constructing small-sized sample spaces that keep certain randomness properties was motivated by designing efficient deterministic algorithms via derandomization. Here we look at the problem from a different perspective and investigate the application of sample spaces with small bias to designing error-correcting communication protocols. We study the issue of constructing sample spaces with small bias on certain sets of bit positions. By way of derandomization, we give a new construction whose size matches the bound given by the probabilistic argument, improving on the previously best known result. As an application of our improved construction, we present an essentially optimal communication protocol for performing a type of data consistency check in distributed databases.
Practical Points-to Analysis for Programs Built with Libraries

Year: 2000
Subjects: Data-flow analysis
Pointer analysis

description: Traditional whole-program analysis cannot be directly applied to programs that include precompiled libraries. Such programs could be analyzed separately from the included libraries by using precomputed summary information about each library. This paper describes one such separate analysis derived from Andersen’s whole program points-to analysis. The analysis uses a summary which is a compact representation of the points-to effects of all statements in the library. The summary is generated by substituting some of the library variables with placeholder variables. By replacing many variables with the same placeholder, we can reduce the size of the summary and the cost of the separate analysis. We use a substitution which summarizes the library effects without losing precision or exposing the internals of the library. Our experiments show that the cost of computing and storing the summary is practical, and that the substitution technique significantly reduces the cost of the separate analysis.

description: Efforts to change behaviour are critical in minimizing the spread of highly transmissible pandemics such as COVID-19. However, it is unclear whether individuals are aware of disease risk and alter their behaviour early in the pandemic. We investigated risk perception and self-reported engagement in protective behaviours in 1591 United States-based individuals cross-sectionally and longitudinally over the first week of the pandemic. Subjects demonstrated growing awareness of risk and reported engaging in protective behaviours with increasing frequency but underestimated their risk of infection relative to the average person in the country. Social distancing and hand washing were most strongly predicted by the perceived probability of personally being infected. However, a subgroup of individuals perceived low risk and did not engage in these behaviours. Our results highlight the importance of risk perception in early interventions during large-scale pandemics.

description: Smart phones are increasingly being equipped with operating systems that compare in complexity with those on desktop computers. This trend makes smart phone operating systems vulnerable to many of the same threats as desktop operating systems. This paper examines the threat posed by rootkits to smart phones. Rootkits are malware that stealthily achieve their goals by modifying operating system code and data, and have long been a problem for desktops. However, smart phones expose several unique interfaces, such as voice, GPS and battery, that rootkits can exploit in novel ways. These attacks can have serious social consequences, ranging from loss of privacy to denial of service during emergencies. This paper demonstrates the threat of smart phone rootkits with three novel attacks. We implemented rootkits that allow a remote attacker to: (1) snoop on a victim’s confidential conversations; (2) snoop on a victim’s geographical location; and (3) stealthily exhaust the battery on a victim’s phone. We also discuss the social implications of each of these attacks.

description: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for one in five of all cancer deaths worldwide. Most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, resulting in a 5-year survival rate of less than 20%. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for PD-L1 and PD-1 have received FDA approval for the treatment of NSCLC. However, only a small subset of patients (15-20%) respond to ICIs, and many of these responders eventually relapse. Doxorubicin (DOX) is an FDA-approved chemotherapeutic used in treating many cancers, including lung cancer. However, it has dose-dependent toxicity and patients develop resistance to DOX over time.

description: The response of current hydrogel devices mainly depends on the diffusion of stimuli. However, diffusion is a slow transport mechanism compared to advection, which therefore limits the response speed of hydrogel devices. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a capillary network and elastic instability mechanism. Particularly, an open surface capillary delivers and distributes solvent, thus triggering the swelling and bending of curved polymeric beams. To demonstrate this concept, we fabricate these polymeric microstructures using projection micro-stereolithography (PμSL). Combined with instability criteria analysis based on static beam theory, this device is designed to exhibit two-way snap-through behavior. Our analysis provides the minimum dimensionless stiffness β for the beam device to snap during solvent actuation. Here, β is a well-defined dimensionless parameter in our analysis that indicates whether the device can provide sufficient axial force to trigger the snap-through of the beam. The actuation displacement can be as high as 45% of the length of the beam. We observe a maximum midpoint speed of 3.1 cm s−1 for a beam 2 mm long—20 times higher than that for a beam without an elastic instability mechanism. This device can be used in artificial muscle and as the key component for fluidic-to-mechanical signal transduction in active micro-fluidic circuits.

description: We establish an infinitesimal variant of Guo-Jacquet trace formula for the case of $(GL_{2n, D}, GL_{n, D}\times GL_{n, D})$. It is a kind of Poisson summation formula obtained by an analogue of Arthur's truncation process. It consists in the equality of the sums of two types of distributions which are non-equivariant in general: one type is associated to rational points in the categorical quotient, while the other type is the Fourier transform of the first type. For regular semi-simple points in the categorical quotient, we obtain weighted orbital integrals.

description: During qualitative phone interviews, middle-class, mostly married African American mothers (N= 25) describe their child rearing responsibilities, practices, and values. They explain: (1) why they decided to stay home or take work leave to attend to child rearing, (b) how they divided child rearing responsibilities with their husbands/romantic partners, (c) whether they faced unique parenting challenges raising African American children, and (d) whether they identified as feminists. Responses revealed the decision to stay home or take work leave comprised values about gender roles, concerns about the cost and/or quality of child care, and the availability of family-friendly workplace policies. Most couples shared child rearing responsibilities, although mothers admit to doing more. Their unique parenting challenge was protecting their children from racism, stereotyping, and discrimination. Only one-third of the mothers identified as being feminists. These results have implications for furthering our knowledge about African American co-parenting from a positive, strength-based perspective.

description: The objectives of this study were to (a) develop a standing MRI imaging protocol, tolerable to symptomatic patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DLS), and (b) to evaluate the morphometric changes observed in DLS patients in both supine and standing postures. Patients with single level, Meyerding grade 1 DLS undergoing surgery at a single institution between November 2015 to May 2017 were consented. Patients were imaged in the supine and standing positions in a 0.5T vertically open MRI scanner (MROpen, Paramed, Genoa, Italy) with sagittal and axial T2 images. The morphometric parameters measured were: cross-sectional area of the thecal sac (CSA), lateral recess height, disc height, degree of anterolisthesis, disc angle, lumbar lordosis, the presence of facet effusion and restabilization signs. Measures from both postures were compared using paired T-test. Associations of posture with the magnitude of change in the various measurements was determined using Pearson correlation or paired T-test when appropriate. All fourteen patients (mean age 64.4 years) included tolerated standing for the time required for image acquisition. All measurements with the exception of lumbar lordosis and disk height showed a statistically significant difference between the postures (p <0.05). In the standing position, CSA and lateral recess height were reduced by 28% and 50%, respectively. There was no relationship between the change in CSA of the thecal sac and any measures. Standing images acquired in an upright MRI scanner demonstrated postural changes associated with Meyerding grade 1 DLS and images acquisition was tolerated in all patients.

description: In magnetic pulse welding (MPW) of tubular parts, the acceleration of the ‘flyer’ part typically corresponds to a free electromagnetic compression (EMC) process over the distance of the initial standoff between the outer and inner tube. During this process stage, already significant plastic strains occur. In addition, wrinkling is a phenomenon frequently observed during EMC. In this manuscript, influencing factors on the wrinkling effect are identified, taking the initial geometry of the flyer tube and its manufacturing process into account. Moreover, a link between the strains and wrinkles caused by the tube compression and the MPW process is made. An experimental study is performed aiming for the quantification of the plastic deformation during EMC. The effect of this deformation on the stability and adhesion of brittle surface layers is analyzed. Accompanying numerical simulations help to understand the wrinkle formation and its influencing factors. Based on the results, hints for an improved process design of MPW are given.

description: Objectives: This paper aims to review "non-squamous lesions of the vulvar skin and subcutaneous tissue" clinically and pathologically, based on the 5th edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) tumor classification.
description: Methods: A database search of PubMed and Google Scholar was performed between 1970, and 2021, using the search terms " vulva " , " lower genital tract " and " non-squamous lesions ". The search was limited to "humans" , "gynecopathology" and "dermatopathology." Full article texts were reviewed. Reference lists were screened for additional articles. We excluded articles written in the non-English language and abstracts.
description: Results: A list of 600 articles was identified. Another screening identified 68 articles for clinicopathological features of non-squamous lesions of the vulvar skin and subcutaneous tissue. In the first part of this review, we cover five major groups of non-squamous lesions of the vulvar skin and subcutaneous tissue including 1) glandular tumors and cysts, 2) adenocarcinomas of other types, 3) germ cell tumors of the vulva, 4) neuroendocrine neoplasia, and 5) hematolymphoid hyperplasia and neoplasia. The rest of the major topics; including mesenchymal tumors of the lower genital tract, melanocytic lesions, and metastasis will be discussed in the second part of this review.

description: The quantification of the electronic transport energy gap of a molecular semiconductor is essential for pursuing any challenge in molecular optoelectronics. However, this remains largely elusive because of the difficulties in its determination by conventional spectroscopic methods. This communication presents an in-device molecular spectroscopy (i-MOS) technique, which permits measuring this gap seamlessly, in real device operative conditions, at room temperature and without any previous knowledge of the material's parameters. This result is achieved by determining the occupied and unoccupied molecular orbitals of an organic semiconductor thin-film by using a single three terminal solid-state device.

description: Rutpela maculata manca (Schaufuss, 1863)
  Especie eurosiberiana que coloniza los bosques ḣmedos de la mitad septentrional ibérica, donde resulta ser medianamente habitual encontrarla sobre apiáceas y compuestas (GONZÁLEZ PEÑA et al., 2007). En Galicia está citada de las cuatro provincias (L̎ PEZ-VAAMONDE et al., 2000).
  La larva es muy polífaga y aunque la mayor parte de los autores la citan como fitohuésped de caducifolias, en nuestro caso se obtuvieron ejemplares a partir por eclosión desde madera de evónimo (Euonymus japonicus) procedente de los viejos ejemplares presentes en el jardín del propio museo.
  En la IUCN Red List esta especie FigurA como de “ Preocupación menor ” Y con unA tendenciA estable en sus poblaciones europeas por el hecho de que es una especie bastante coṁn en la mayor parte de su área de distribución y que presenta poblaciones muy grandes a pesar de estar éstas severamente fragmentadas, algo que podría contribuir a una disminución en el ṅmero de individuos maduros (DODELIN et al., 2017g).

description: We study rings of integral modular forms for congruence subgroups as modules over the ring of integral modular forms for $SL_2\Z$. In many cases these modules are free or decompose at least into well-understood pieces. We apply this to characterize which rings of modular forms are Cohen-Macaulay and to prove finite generation results. These theorems are based on decomposition results about vector bundles on the compactified moduli stack of elliptic curves.

description: At times, certain areas of China suffering from water shortages. While China’s government is spurring innovation and infrastructure to help head off such problems, it may be that some water conservation could help as well. It is well-known that water is embodied in traded goods—so called “virtual water trade” (VWT). In China, it seems that many water-poor areas are perversely engaged in VWT. Further, China is also engaging on the global trend of fragmentation in production, even as an interregional phenomenon. It seems some implications could be learned about conserving or reducing VWT, if we knew where and how it is practiced. From those implications, perhaps policies could be formulated. We employ China’s multiregional input-output tables straddling two periods to trace the trade of a given region’s three types of goods: local final goods, local intermediate goods, and goods that shipped to other regions and countries. We find that goods traded interregionally in China in 2012 embodied 30.4% of all water used nationwide. Nationwide, water use increased substantially over 2007-2012 due to greater shipment volumes of water-intensive products. In fact, as suspected, the rise in value chain-related trade was a major overall contributing factor. Coastal areas tended to be net receivers of VTW from interior provinces, although reasons differed, e.g. Shanghai received more to fulfill its final demand and Zhejiang for its value-chain related trade. In sum, the variety of our findings reveals an urgent need to consider trade types and water scarcity when developing water resource allocation and conservation policies.

description: Classical change point analysis aims at (1) detecting abrupt changes in the mean of a possibly non-stationary time series and at (2) identifying regions where the mean exhibits a piecewise constant behavior. In many applications however, it is more reasonable to assume that the mean changes gradually in a smooth way. Those gradual changes may either be non-relevant (i.e., small), or relevant for a specific problem at hand, and the present paper presents statistical methodology to detect the latter. More precisely, we consider the common nonparametric regression model Xi = μ(i/n) +εi with possibly non-stationary errors and propose a test for the null hypothesis that the maximum absolute deviation of the regression function μ from a functional g(μ) (such as the value μ(0) or the integral 1 0 μ(t)dt) is smaller than a given threshold on a given interval [x0, x1] [0, 1]. A test for this type of hypotheses is developed using an appropriate estimator, say ˆ d∞n, for the maximum deviation d∞ = supt∈[x0,x1] |μ(t) − g(μ)|. We derive the limiting distribution of an appropriately standardized version of ˆ d∞,n, where the standardization depends on the Lebesgue measure of the set of extremal points of the function μ(·) − g(μ). A refined procedure based on an estimate of this set is developed and its consistency is proved. The results are illustrated by means of a simulation study and a data example.

“Improvident and Profligate” : The Alexandra Readers Controversy in Saskatchewan, 1908–1909
Creators: name: Clark, Penney, 1950-
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This article examines the politics and economics surrounding textbook provision in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in the first decade of the twentieth century, a period in which debates around the publication and provision of textbooks raged in Canada. It focuses on the 1908 contract between the Saskatchewan Department of Education and the Morang Educational Company of Toronto involving the Alexandra Readers. Frederick Haultain, leader of the opposition Provincial Rights Party, used the contract as a club to beat James Calder, commissioner of education for the ruling Liberal government. Haultain claimed that the contract had been offered to Morang because he and John Cameron Saul, editor in chief of the company, had been “college chum[s].” He also claimed that the majority of the textbook selection committee actually had favoured the readers submitted by rival Toronto publisher the Canada Publishing Company. As a result of Haultain’s accusations in the Saskatchewan legislature, a royal commission was established to inquire into “the alleged ‘improvident and profligate’ Morang school book contract and the reasons why it was granted.” This study makes evident how controversial textbook provision has been and examines the political influences and commercial pressures that fuelled one such controversy. L’article étudie la politique et l’économie entourant la fourniture des manuels scolaires dans la province canadienne de la Saskatchewan dans la première décennie du xxe siècle, période fertile en débats sur la publication et la fourniture des manuels scolaires au Canada. Il est axé sur le contrat de 1908 entre le ministère de l’Éducation de la Saskatchewan et la Morang Educational Company de Toronto concernant les Alexandra Readers. Frederick Haultain, chef du Provincial Rights Party – le parti d’opposition –, s’est servi de ce contrat comme d’une arme contre James Calder, commissaire à l’Éducation du gouvernement libéral au pouvoir. Selon Haultain, le contrat avait été offert à Morang parce que ce dernier et l’éditeur en chef de la société, John Cameron Saul, avaient été des « camarades de collège ». Il prétendait également que la majeure partie du comité de sélection des manuels scolaires avait en fait préféré les livres soumis par la Canada Publishing Company, un éditeur concurrent de Toronto. Par suite des accusations de Haultain à l’Assemblée législative de la Saskatchewan, une commission royale a été mise sur pied pour enquêter sur « le contrat de manuels scolaires Morang – un contrat prétendument accordé de manière “inconsidérée et extravagante” – et les raisons justifiant son attribution ». Cette étude, qui montre à quel point la fourniture de manuels scolaires a suscité la controverse, examine les influences politiques et les pressions commerciales qui ont alimenté cette controverse.

description: In this paper we develop statistical inference tools for high dimensional functional time series. We introduce a new concept of physical dependent processes in the space of square integrable functions, which adopts the idea of basis decomposition of functional data in these spaces, and derive Gaussian and multiplier bootstrap approximations for sums of high dimensional functional time series. These results have numerous important statistical consequences. Exemplarily, we consider the development of joint simultaneous confidence bands for the mean functions and the construction of tests for the hypotheses that the mean functions in the spatial dimension are parallel. The results are illustrated by means of a small simulation study and in the analysis of Canadian temperature data.
