 New records
Lampung Province: Sukabanjar Forest, Sukaraja Forest, Sukaraja Village, Way Canguk Forest.
 New material
One adult female was collected. Lampung Province: Sukaraja Village, 1♀ (MZB 34997).
 Previous records from Sumatra
North Sumatra Province: Toba highlands; Riau Province: Indragiri (van Strien, 1996).
 Remarks
 Rhinolophus trifoliatus is a large Rhinolophus which can be easily distinguished from other Rhinolophus by the light yellow coloration of its ears and noseleaf. In the survey area, we captured it between 50–609 m a.s.l. in forest and polyculture plantations. Our captures extend its distribution in Sumatra from the central region to the south.

description: The objective of this paper is to examine credit migration of individual Kansas farms from 1980-2003. Individual farm data collected from the Kansas Farm Management Data Bank are employed. From 1980 to 2003 these farms had an average credit rating equivalent to a Standard and Poor's B classification, which represents a vulnerable to adequate borrower. Farms in consecutive periods showed the largest tendency to remain in the same ratings category, with smaller tendencies to increase or decrease in credit quality. When movement did take place, there was a high likelihood of only a one category movement.

description: In order to monitor the state of large-scale infrastructures, image acquisition by autonomous flight drones is efficient for stable angle and high-quality images. Supervised learning requires a large data set consisting of images and annotation labels. It takes a long time to accumulate images, including identifying the damaged regions of interest (ROIs). In recent years, unsupervised deep learning approaches such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) for anomaly detection algorithms have progressed. When a damaged image is a generator input, it tends to reverse from the damaged state to the healthy state generated image. Using the distance of distribution between the real damaged image and the generated reverse aging healthy state fake image, it is possible to detect the concrete damage automatically from unsupervised learning. This paper proposes an anomaly detection method using unpaired image-to-image translation mapping from damaged images to reverse aging fakes that approximates healthy conditions. We apply our method to field studies, and we examine the usefulness of our method for health monitoring of concrete damage.

description: We report an empirical determination of the probability density functions P(r) of the number r of earthquakes in finite space-time windows for the California catalog, over fixed spatial boxes 5 x 5 km^2 and time intervals dt =1, 10, 100 and 1000 days. We find a stable power law tail P(r) ~ 1/r^{1+mu} with exponent mu \approx 1.6 for all time intervals. These observations are explained by a simple stochastic branching process previously studied by many authors, the ETAS (epidemic-type aftershock sequence) model which assumes that each earthquake can trigger other earthquakes (``aftershocks''). An aftershock sequence results in this model from the cascade of aftershocks of each past earthquake. We develop the full theory in terms of generating functions for describing the space-time organization of earthquake sequences and develop several approximations to solve the equations. The calibration of the theory to the empirical observations shows that it is essential to augment the ETAS model by taking account of the pre-existing frozen heterogeneity of spontaneous earthquake sources. This seems natural in view of the complex multi-scale nature of fault networks, on which earthquakes nucleate. Our extended theory is able to account for the empirical observation satisfactorily. In particular, the adjustable parameters are determined by fitting the largest time window $dt=1000$ days and are then used as frozen in the formulas for other time scales, with very good agreement with the empirical data.

description: Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) exhibit unique optical properties such as photo-emission stability, large anti-Stokes shift, and long excited-state lifetimes, allowing significant advances in a broad range of applications from biomedical sensing to super-resolution microscopy. In recent years, progress on nanoparticle synthesis led to the development of many strategies for enhancing their upconversion luminescence, focused in particular on heavy doping of lanthanide ions and core-shell structures. In this article, we investigate the non-linear emission properties of fully Yb-based core-shell UCNPs and their impact on the super-resolution performance of stimulated excitation-depletion (STED) microscopy and super-linear excitation-emission (uSEE) microscopy. Controlling the power-dependent emission curve enables us to relax constraints on the doping concentrations and to reduce the excitation power required for accessing sub-diffraction regimes. We take advantage of this feature to implement multiplexed super-resolution imaging of a two-sample mixture.

description: We introduce a non linear pricing model of individual stock returns that defines a stickiness parameter of the returns. The pricing model resembles the capital asset pricing model used in finance but has a non linear component inspired from models of earth quake tectonic plate movements. The link to tectonic plate movements happens, since price movements of a given stock index is seen adding stress to its components of individual stock returns, in order to follow the index. How closely individual stocks follow the indexs price movements, can then be used to define their stickiness

description: We present a two-sphere dumbbell configuration of a rotating settlement at Earth-Moon L5. The two-sphere configuration is chosen to minimize the radiation shielding mass which dominates the mass budget. The settlement has max 20 mSv/year radiation conditions and 1 g artificial gravity. If made for 200 people, it weighs 89000 tonnes and provides 60 m$^2$ of floorspace per person. The radiation shield is made of asteroid rock, augmented by a water layer with 2 % of the mass for neutron moderation, and a thin boron-10 layer for capturing the thermalized neutrons. We analyze the propulsion options for moving the material from asteroids to L5. The FFC Cambridge process can be used to extract oxygen from asteroid regolith. The oxygen is then used as Electric Propulsion propellant. One can also find a water-bearing asteroid and use water for the same purpose. If one wants to avoid propellant extraction, one can use a fleet of electric sails. The settlers fund their project by producing and selling new settlements by zero-delay teleoperation in the nearby robotic factory which they own. The economic case looks promising if LEO launch costs drop below $\sim$ \$300/kg.

description: A sum rule is derived for elastic scattering of hadrons at high energies which is in good agreement with experimental data on $p\bar{p}$ available upto the maximum energy $\sqrt{s} = 2 TeV$. Physically, our sum rule reflects the way unitarity correlates and limits how large the elastic amplitude can be as a function of energy to how fast it decreases as a function of the momentum transfer. The universality of our result is justified through our earlier result on equipartition of quark and glue momenta obtained from the virial theorem for massless quarks and the Wilson conjecture

description: Fresh fruits and vegetables are perceived to be nutritious and healthy, but more costly than some less nutritious foods. Supermarket scanner data are used to analyze the purchase behavior of higher- and lower-income consumers for produce. Eight sub-categories of fruit are identified; six of vegetables. A SUR model is specified and used to estimate a series of own-price and cross-price elasticities. Prices paid per ounce in each sub-category are calculated and these prices show lower-income consumers paying lower prices for every sub-category except bananas. Lower-income consumers are also shown to have higher own-price elasticities

description: The following is a series of two concerts, the first was performed in April of 2001 and the second in April of 2002. The music performed was at the discretion of both the artist and their primary supervisor, which was their private lesson professor. The music of each performance was chosen for its significance to the saxophone repertoire and to expand the repertoire of the artist. Each piece had a new challenge for the artist that would expand their technical skill and musical ideology. One of the major goals over the two-year program was to show improvement in as many musical areas as possible and to bring the artist to a professional level of playing that was not a attainable during undergraduate study.

 New record Lampung Province: Way Canguk Forest.
 Remarks
 A single adult female was collected previously from Way Canguk Forest, but misidentified as a R. lepidus (MZB 31491). This is a small brown Rhinolophus with a FA of 40.4 mm. The lancet is blunted at the tip and barely hairy at the base. The connecting process is significantly reduced, which differs from triangular-tipped connecting process in R. lepidus and R. pusillus. The sella is nearly parallel on the sides and the end of the sella significantly protrudes beyond the tip of the connecting process. The noseleaf characteristics are similar to the philippinensis species group, but do not match any known species in this group (Csorba et al., 2003). Further comparison with more species is necessary to identify this species.

description: Content-based information retrieval is based on the information contained in documents rather than using metadata such as keywords. Most information retrieval methods are either based on text or image. In this paper, we investigate the usefulness of multimodal features for cross-lingual news search in various domains: politics, health, environment, sport, and finance. To this end, we consider five feature types for image and text and compare the performance of the retrieval system using different combinations. Experimental results show that retrieval results can be improved when considering both visual and textual information. In addition, it is observed that among textual features entity overlap outperforms word embeddings, while geolocation embeddings achieve better performance among visual features in the retrieval task.

description: The potential of photon-magnon hybrid systems as building blocks for quantum information science has been widely demonstrated, and it is still the focus of much research. We leverage the strengths of this unique heterogeneous physical system in the field of precision physics beyond the standard model, where the sensitivity to the so-called "invisibles" is currently being boosted by quantum technologies. Here, we demonstrate that quanta of spin waves, driven by tiniest, effective magnetic field, can be detected in a large frequency band using a hybrid system as transducer. This result can be applied to the search of cosmological signals related, for example, to cold Dark Matter, which may directly interact with magnons. Our model of the transducer is based on a second-quantisation two-oscillators hybrid system, it matches the observations, and can be easily extended to thoroughly describe future large-scale ferromagnetic haloscopes.

description: An economic optimization model for a sixty years planning horizon is developed using available groundwater resources in the Texas Panhandle. Net present value and total water use over 60 years is used to estimate the value of water for irrigated agriculture in the area. The decline of the Ogallala Aquifer, which is the primary source of irrigation water for the Texas Panhandle, due to excessive extraction rates poses questions about the economic, social and political future of the area. Economic optimization models for each of the 23 counties in the Texas Panhandle are developed with a goal of maximizing the net income from crop production. Nine major crops are selected. Results from the 60-year analysis for the 23 counties indicate a significant transition from irrigated agriculture to dryland farming. Total irrigated crop acres in the study area decrease by approximately 83 percent from 1.79 million acres to 0.30 million acres while total dryland crop acres increase by about 125 percent from 1.20 million acres to 2.69 million acres. Total groundwater use in the study area significantly declines for the planning horizon by 71 percent from 2.16 million ac-ft to 0.63 million ac-ft. The average saturated thickness of the Ogallala Aquifer in the 23 counties shows a 21 percent decline over the planning period. The model will serve as a policy tool to analyze alternative water management strategies and water conservation programs that can possibly be implemented in the area. The results from the model will also be used to assess the socio-economic impacts of depleting groundwater availability from the Ogallala Aquifer in the region.

For any locally compact groups G and H, we show that B_I(G) is completely isometrically isomorphic to B_I(H) exactly when G/G_e= H/H_e, where G_e and H_e are the connected components of the identities. We compute some examples to illustrate out results.

description: We present interferometric HI observations of six double-disc stellar counterrotator ("2$σ$") galaxies from the Atlas3D sample. Three are detected in HI emission; two of these are new detections. NGC 7710 shows a modestly asymmetric HI disc, and the atomic gas in PGC 056772 is centrally peaked but too poorly resolved to identify the direction of rotation. IC 0719, the most instructive system in this study, shows an extended, strongly warped disc of 43 kpc diameter, with a faint tail extending towards its neighbor IC 0718. The gas has likely been accreted from this external source during an encounter whose geometry directed the gas into misaligned retrograde orbits (with respect to the primary stellar body of IC 0719). In the interior, where dynamical time-scales are shorter, the HI has settled into the equatorial plane forming the retrograde secondary stellar disc. This is the first direct evidence that a double-disc stellar counterrotator could be formed through the accretion of retrograde gas. However, the dominant formation pathway for the formation of $2σ$ galaxies is still unclear. The Atlas3D sample shows some cases of the retrograde accretion scenario and also some cases in which a scenario based on an unusually well-aligned merger is more likely.

description: Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a powerful technique in biomedical research that uses the fluorophore decay rate to provide additional contrast in fluorescence microscopy. However, at present, the calculation, analysis, and interpretation of FLIM is a complex, slow, and computationally expensive process. Machine learning (ML) techniques are well suited to extract and interpret measurements from multi-dimensional FLIM data sets with substantial improvement in speed over conventional methods. In this topical review, we first discuss the basics of FILM and ML. Second, we provide a summary of lifetime extraction strategies using ML and its applications in classifying and segmenting FILM images with higher accuracy compared to conventional methods. Finally, we discuss two potential directions to improve FLIM with ML with proof of concept demonstrations.

 Remarks
 A single adult male was collected by previous researchers from Way Canguk Forest, but recognized as a R. lepidus (MZB 31493). It is a small brown Rhinolophus bat with a FA of 39.9 mm. The posterior noseleaf is nearly triangular, barely hairy at base, and with a long lancet blunted at the tip. The connecting process is round, differing from R. lepidus / R. pusillus, and the sella is tapered. This species is morphologically similar to R. malayanus in Indo-Burma region (Csorba et al., 2003), but not comparable to any species known from the Sunda Shelf. It is also similar to R. stheno, in noseleaf structure, but smaller in all external measurements. Further comparison with more species is necessary to identify the species.

This method allows us to employ cutting edge techniques for the computation of cross sections to extract the universal building blocks in question. The corresponding perturbative matching kernels for all channels are expressed in terms of simple harmonic polylogarithms up to weight five. As a byproduct, we confirm a previous computation of the soft function for transverse momentum factorization at N$^3$LO. Our results are the last missing ingredient to extend the $q_T$ subtraction methods to N$^3$LO and to obtain resummed $q_T$ spectra at N$^3$LL$^\prime$ accuracy both for gluon as well as for quark initiated processes.

description: We show that a diatomic dot molecule made of two identical, vertically stacked, strained InAs/GaAs self-assembled dots exhibits an asymmetry in its single-particle and may-particle wavefunctions. The single-particle wave function is asymmetric due to the inhomogeneous strain, while the asymmetry of the many-particle wavefunctions is caused by the correlation induced localization: the lowest singlet $^1Σ_g$ and triplet $^3Σ$ states show that the two electrons are each localized on different dots within the molecule, for the next singlet states $^1Σ_u$ both electrons are localized on the same (bottom) dot for interdot separation $d>$ 8 nm. The singlet-triplet splitting is found to be $\sim 0.1$ meV at inter-dot separation $d$=9 nm and as large as 100 meV for $d$=4 nm, orders of magnitude larger than the few meV found in the large (50 - 100 nm) electrostatically confined dots.

description: Solutions to the linear complementarity problem (LCP) are naturally sparse in many applications such as bimatrix games and portfolio section problems. Despite that it gives rise to the hardness, sparsity makes optimization faster and enables relatively large scale computation. Motivated by this, we take the sparse LCP into consideration, investigating the existence and boundedness of its solution set as well as introducing a new merit function, which allows us to convert the problem into a sparsity constrained optimization. The function turns out to be continuously differentiable and twice continuously differentiable for some chosen parameters. Interestingly, it is also convex if the involved matrix is positive semidefinite. We then explore the relationship between the solution set to the sparse LCP and stationary points of the sparsity constrained optimization. Finally, Newton hard thresholding pursuit is adopted to solve the sparsity constrained model. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the problem can be efficiently solved through the new merit function.

description: In the third in depth country study, the Babcock Institute study team discusses India’s dairy sector. India is an interesting case study because it has the world’s second largest population making it the world’s largest milk-producing country. The country’s main system of dairy productions involves a smallholder production system in which most of the milk produced is consumed on the farm or distributed through informal channels. This system of production, combined with Indian policies that encourage self-sufficiency and restrict dairy imports, leaves much unused potential in the Indian dairy market.

description: Currently, Brazil has one of the fastest increasing COVID-19 epidemics in the world, that has caused at least 94 thousand confirmed deaths until now. The city of Sao Paulo is particularly vulnerable because it is the most populous in the country. Analyzing the spatiotemporal dynamics of COVID-19 is important to help the urgent need to integrate better actions to face the pandemic. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the COVID-19 mortality, from March to July 2020, considering the spatio-time architectures, the socio-economic context of the population, and using a fine granular level, in the most populous city in Brazil. For this, we conducted an ecological study, using secondary public data from the mortality information system. We describe mortality rates for each epidemiological week and the entire period by sex and age. We modelled the deaths using spatiotemporal and spatial architectures and Poisson probability distributions in a latent Gaussian Bayesian model approach. We obtained the relative risks for temporal and spatiotemporal trends and socio-economic conditions. To reduce possible sub notification, we considered the confirmed and suspected deaths. Our findings showed an apparent stabilization of the temporal trend, at the end of the period, but that may change in the future. Mortality rate increased with increasing age and was higher in men. The risk of death was greater in areas with the worst social conditions throughout the study period. However, this was not a uniform pattern over time, since we identified a shift from the high risk in the areas with best socio-economic conditions to the worst ones. Our study contributed by emphasizing the importance of geographic screening in areas with a higher risk of death, and, currently, worse socio-economic contexts, as a crucial aspect to reducing disease mortality and health inequities, through integrated public health actions.

description: The presumed media influence framework (IPI) theorizes how mass media influence perceptions and behaviors. The present study uses an online experiment to test the hypotheses deriving from the IPI in the context of interactive news websites. We manipulated the congruency and incongruency between the e-cigarette use prevalence information provided in the news stories and information emanated from user-generated comments to examine how exposure to such congruency and incongruency would extend our understanding of the IPI. Results show that compared to participants reading low prevalence news only, those who read low prevalence news and low prevalence comments perceive significantly higher presumed media influence. Results also reveal that compared to participants reading high prevalence news only, those who read high prevalence news and low prevalence comments perceive significantly lower presumed media influence, which in turn decreases intentions to use e-cigarettes. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

description: The present study is framed within recent works addressing the process of product portfolio renewal as a mechanism for organizational renewal, in that firms may use it to meet the challenge of a changing environment. Based on this theory, we build an analysis model linking product portfolio renewal to changes in external factors and apply it to D.O. wine companies in Castilla y León. We found that both the environment as well as firms themselves had been highly dynamic during the period analyzed vis-à-vis their product portfolios. The importance of issues related to organizational adaptation and adjustment, such as those tackled in our research, lies in their link to organizational survival, making them a focal point of managerial concern. The findings to emerge from our work throw up certain implications which may prove useful to managers. In dynamic environments, such as those in which many firms find themselves immersed, it is likely that a change in the initial external circumstances may lead to a certain lack of organizational adjustment. In this situation, managers should consider the need to implement adjustment mechanisms. One such mechanism, product portfolio renewal, has proven to be a valid alternative to help them find their way in a changing environment.
Resonant high-energy bremsstrahlung of ultrarelativistic electrons in the field of a nucleus and a pulsed light wave

description: The actual theoretical research investigates the resonant high-energy spontaneous bremsstrahlung of ultrarelativistic electrons with considerable energies in the field of a nucleus and a quasimonochromatic laser wave. Under the resonant conditions within the laser field the intermediate virtual electron transforms into the real particle. As a result, the accomplished analysis defines that the polar emission angle characterizes the frequency of a spontaneous photon. The study derives the expressions for the resonant differential cross-sections of the represented processes that realize simultaneous registration of the frequency and radiation angle in correlation to the momentum of the initial electron (for the channel A) and of the final electron (for the channel B) of the spontaneous photon with absorption of $r$ wave photons ($r = 1, 2, 3,... $ - the number of a resonance). Additionally, the distribution of the resonant differential cross-section as a function of the angle of the spontaneous photon emission for the higher numbers of resonance ($r = 2, 3,... $) delineates a dependency with a sharp peak maximum that coordinates to the particle radiation at the most probable frequency. To summarize, the accomplished work represents that the resonant differential cross-section acquires considerable magnitude. Thus, for the first resonance of the channel A the resonant differential cross-section attains the $\sim 10^{12}$ order of a magnitude, and for the third resonance of the channel B $\sim 10^5$ order of a magnitude (in the units of $αZ^2 r_e^2$). Finally, numerous scientific facilities with specialization in pulsed laser radiation (SLAC, FAIR, XFEL, ELI, XCELS) may experimentally verify the constructed model calculations.

description: Walla Walla enjoys the fastest growing wine industry in the State of Washington, if not in the whole U.S. This paper examines the impact of this extraordinary growth on the revenue of regional hotels and restaurants. Employing a dynamic quarterly panel model at the county level we show that the regional reputation as high quality wine county, as expressed by critical wine points in the national wine press, has a significant effect on the tourism industry. Less than 17% of all restaurant and approximately 40% of all hotel revenue is tied to the wine cluster (2007). However, regional reputation is short-living and needs to be constantly re-earned.

description: We study the mechanism underlying the attraction between nucleosomes, the fundamental packaging units of DNA inside the chromatin complex. We introduce a simple model of the nucleosome, the eight-tail colloid, consisting of a charged sphere with eight oppositely charged, flexible, grafted chains that represent the terminal histone tails. We demonstrate that our complexes are attracted via the formation of chain bridges and that this attraction can be tuned by changing the fraction of charged monomers on the tails. This suggests a physical mechanism of chromatin compaction where the degree of DNA condensation can be controlled via biochemical means, namely the acetylation and deacetylation of lysines in the histone tails.
