description: Bolithomyza spinulina Rondani, 1856
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1856: 197.
TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no type locality in his original description but presumably it is Italy because the work deals with Italian species.
TYPE MATERIAL: 2 specimens, syntypes (sex not determinable, one missing abdomen and legs, the other glued to a cardboard stage and completely covered with mold) (MZUF: Box 64): Bolithomyza Rnd. / spinulina Rnd., Parm. / 3295.
CURRENT STATUS: Hackman et al. (1988) did not list it; doubtful species of Mycetophilidae (P. Chandler, per. comm., December 2013).
REMARKS: Rondani’s (1856: 197) key for the genus Bolithomyza Rondani, 1856 lists Bolithomyza spinulina as its type species, but he did not provide a detailed description, type locality, number or sex of the specimens. Two syntypes were found in this study. Hackman et al. (1988: 295) incorrectly considered the genus Bolithomyza as a nomen nudum (O’Hara et al. 2011: 38) and did not list the species Bolithomyza spinulina. Peter Chandler (pers. comm., December 2013) considered Bolithomyza spinulina as doubtful species because the identification of the species depends on the structure of the male terminalia and cannot be carried out on the basis of Rondani’s description.

description: We consider an inverse source problem in the stationary radiative transport through an absorbing and scattering medium in two dimensions. Using the angularly resolved radiation measured on an arc of the boundary, we propose a numerical algorithm to recover the source in the convex hull of this arc. The method involves an unstable step of inverting a bounded operator whose range is not closed. We show that the continuity constant of the discretized inverse grows at most linearly with the discretization step, thus stabilizing the problem.

description: In this article we study global existence and blow-up of solutions for a general class of nonlocal nonlinear wave equations with power-type nonlinearities, $u_{tt}-Lu_{xx}=B(- |u|^{p-1}u)_{xx}, ~(p>1)$, where the nonlocality enters through two pseudo-differential operators $L$ and $B$. We establish thresholds for global existence versus blow-up using the potential well method which relies essentially on the ideas suggested by Payne and Sattinger. Our results improve the global existence and blow-up results given in the literature for the present class of nonlocal nonlinear wave equations and cover those given for many well-known nonlinear dispersive wave equations such as the so-called double-dispersion equation and the traditional Boussinesq-type equations, as special cases.

description: Die Dissertation untersucht in nationaler Perspektive am Beispiel Deutschlands im 20. Jahrhundert Voraussetzungen und Entwicklungen einer Verwissenschaftlichung der industriellen Arbeit. Gefragt wird nach Zusammenhängen zwischen politischen Systembrüchen und Arbeitsforschung von der Weimarer Republik, über das NS-Regime, zur Deutschen Demokratischen Republik und der Bundesrepublik Deutschland bis 1990. Es werden personelle und institutionelle Brüche und Kontinuitäten untersucht und in einem Exkurs mit der Arbeitsforschung in der Schweiz verglichen. Erörtert wird die Frage, in welchem Maße sich die Arbeitsforschung in Deutschland in einer permanenten „Dilemma-Situation“ befand - zwischen Kapital und Arbeit, Volk und Klasse, Wissenschaft und Politik, Führung und Freiheit, Leistung und Ausbeutung, männlicher Dominanz und weiblicher Chancensuche. Inwieweit kann von ideologischer und politischer Instrumentalisierung der Arbeitsforschung oder auch von gewollter Bereitstellung ihrer Ressourcen für die jeweils politisch Herrschenden gesprochen werden?
description: Using the example of Germany in the 20th century, the doctoral thesis examines the conditions and developments in the scientification of industrial labour from a national perspective. Questions are asked about the connections between political system discontinuities and labour research from the Weimar Republic, through the Nazi regime, to the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany until 1990. Personal and institutional breaks and continuities are examined and compared in an excursus with labour research in Switzerland. The question discussed is to which extent labour research in Germany was in a permanent "dilemma situation" - between capital and labour, people and class, science and politics, leadership and freedom, performance and exploitation, male dominance and female search for opportunities. To what extent can one speak of ideological and political instrumentalization of labour research or also of the deliberate provision of its resources for the respective political rulers?

description: Pairing in an attractively interacting two-component Fermi gas in the absence of the inversion symmetry and/or the time-reversal symmetry may give rise to exotic superfluid states. Notable examples range from the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state with a finite center-of-mass momentum in a polarized Fermi gas, to the topological superfluid state in a two-dimensional Fermi gas under Rashba spin-orbit coupling and an out-of-plane Zeeman field. Here, we show that a topological FFLO state can be stabilized in a two-dimensional Fermi gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and both in-plane and out-of-plane Zeeman fields. We characterize the topological FFLO state by a non-trivial Berry phase, and demonstrate the stability region of the state on the zero-temperature phase diagram. Given its unique properties in both the quasi-particle dispersion spectra and the momentum distribution, signatures of the topological FFLO state can be detected using existing experimental techniques.

description: The Centre of Genomics and Policy at McGill University has conducted an analysis of the ethico-legal requirements enshrined in data privacy law and research ethics guidance in Canada and the European Union. This Points-to-Consider document is intended to synthesize the elements of that research that are of relevance to the secondary use of health data by the cohorts of the euCanSHare project.
 In this summary, we have provided a general overview of our research. In Part 1, we assess the sources of the ethico-legal requirements discussed. In Part 2, we consider a number of regulatory requirements in the laws of Canada and the European Union. Elements discussed include legal prerequisites to data use, individual rights in data, and prerequisites to the international transfer of data. In Part 3, the identifiability of data, and the use of safeguards to protect data, are considered. In Part 4, the foregoing ideas are synthesized into holistic proposals for data governance.
 The conclusions of this Points-to-Consider document reprise the contents of recent and forthcoming academic publications that elaborate our findings in further detail.

description: We construct the canonical constitutive relations for a fluid description of a system with a spin current, valid in an arbitrary number of dimensions in the absence of parity breaking or time reversal breaking terms. Our study encompasses the hydrostatic partition function, the entropy current, Kubo formula, conformal invariance, and the effect of charge. At some stages of the computation we turn on a background torsion tensor which naturally couples to the spin current.

description: Quantum error correction (QEC) is required for a practical quantum computer because of the fragile nature of quantum information. In QEC, information is redundantly stored in a large Hilbert space and one or more observables must be monitored to reveal the occurrence of an error, without disturbing the information encoded in an unknown quantum state. Such observables, typically multi-qubit parities such as , must correspond to a special symmetry property inherent to the encoding scheme. Measurements of these observables, or error syndromes, must also be performed in a quantum non-demolition (QND) way and faster than the rate at which errors occur. Previously, QND measurements of quantum jumps between energy eigenstates have been performed in systems such as trapped ions, electrons, cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, and superconducting qubits. So far, however, no fast and repeated monitoring of an error syndrome has been realized. Here, we track the quantum jumps of a possible error syndrome, the photon number parity of a microwave cavity, by mapping this property onto an ancilla qubit. This quantity is just the error syndrome required in a recently proposed scheme for a hardware-efficient protected quantum memory using Schrödinger cat states in a harmonic oscillator. We demonstrate the projective nature of this measurement onto a parity eigenspace by observing the collapse of a coherent state onto even or odd cat states. The measurement is fast compared to the cavity lifetime, has a high single-shot fidelity, and has a 99.8% probability per single measurement of leaving the parity unchanged. In combination with the deterministic encoding of quantum information in cat states realized earlier, our demonstrated QND parity tracking represents a significant step towards implementing an active system that extends the lifetime of a quantum bit.

Investigating the Patient Admission Pathway to Improve Theatre Start Time for a General Surgery Service

description: The operating theatre accounts for a large percentage of a hospital’s total expenses. Optimum efficiency and utilisation of theatre time are paramount. There are a number of contributing factors when discussing theatre time utilisation including starting theatre on time, reducing turnover time and minimising theatre overruns, all of which require the cooperation of surgical, anaesthetic and allied health professionals. Day of Surgery Admissions (DOSA) is a service that allows for the planned admission of patients on the day of their scheduled surgery.There are many attractive benefits to day surgery admission including decreased cost when compared to overnight stay, decreased in-patient stay, reduced infection rate, decreased waiting lists and better utilisation of hospital resources. The Lean Six Sigma DMAIC model was used to formulate a quality improvement (QI) plan to improve theatre start time for a general surgery service. QI tools including stakeholder analysis, driver diagrams and fishbone diagrams were utilised. The patient pathway through DOSA was investigated for factors contributing to the late start times. Data collected suggested that a number of factors were contributing to the problem. The optimal theatre start time was not being reached for the General Surgery Service. Three pathway interventions were implemented and a Plan Do Study Act (PDSA) cycle was initiated. Subsequent data showed an improvement in theatre start time. This QI project plan provides recommendations for implementing changes to the patient pathway through DOSA with the expected outcome of sustaining continuous improvement in theatre start times.

description: Fluorite oxides are attractive ionic compounds for a range of applications with critical thermal management requirements. In view of recent reports alluding to anisotropic thermal conductivity in this face-centered cubic crystalline systems, we perform a detailed analysis of the impact of direction-dependent phonon group velocities and lifetimes on the thermal transport of fluorite oxides. We demonstrate that the bulk thermal conductivity of this class of materials remains isotropic despite notable anisotropy in phonon lifetime and group velocity. However, breaking the symmetry of the phonon lifetime under external stimuli including boundary scattering present in nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of finite size simulation cell gives rise to apparent thermal conductivity anisotropy. We observe that for accurate determination of thermal conductivity, it is important to consider phonon properties not only along high symmetry directions commonly measured in inelastic neutron or x-ray scattering experiments but also of those along lower symmetry. Our results suggests that certain low symmetry directions have a larger contribution to thermal conductivity compared to high symmetry ones.

description: We study the entanglement and the energy density of the radiation emitted after a local quench in a boundary conformal field theory. We use the operator product expansion (OPE) to predict the early- and late-time behavior of the entanglement entropy and we find, under mild assumptions, a universal form for the leading term, which we test on some treatable two-dimensional examples. We also derive a general upper bound on the entanglement, valid along the full time evolution. In two dimensions, the bound is computed analytically, while in higher dimensions it is evaluated at early and late time via the OPE. These CFT predictions are then compared with a doubly-holographic setup where the CFT is interpreted as a reservoir for the radiation produced on an end-of-the-world brane. After finding the gravitational dual of a boundary local quench, we compute the time evolution of the holographic entanglement entropy, whose late-time behavior is in perfect agreement with the CFT predictions. In the brane+bath picture, unitarity of the time evolution is preserved thanks to the formation of an island. The holographic results can be recovered explicitly from the island formula, in the limit where the tension of the brane is close to the maximal value.

description: Several remote sensing software packages are used to the explicit purpose of analyzing and visualizing remotely sensed data, with the developing of remote sensing sensor technologies from last ten years. Accord-ing to literature, the remote sensing is still the lack of software tools for effective information extraction from remote sensing data. So, this paper provides a state-of-art of multi-sensor image fusion technologies as well as review on the quality evaluation of the single image or fused images in the commercial remote sensing pack-ages. It also introduces program (ALwassaiProcess) developed for image fusion and classification.

Investigating a Learning Progression for Reasoning Practices of Geocognition Using GeoMapApp-Based Assessment
Creators: name: Seungho Maeng
Publisher: name: Brill Online
Year: 2020
Subjects: Education

description: This study examined a case of GeoMapApp-based assessment to investigate a learning progression for middle school students’ understanding of geoscience content and geocognition (spatial, temporal, and retrospective reasoning and system thinking). A 2-year GeoMapApp-based assessment process was administered along with a doubleround of the construct modeling approach. Based on the measurement of Rasch analysis, the geocognition learning progression was described in terms of data-driven level, meaning-acquiring level, knowledge-constructing level, and complex reasoning with geocognition level. The geocognition learning progression developed in this study had significant implications in terms of the progress variables integrating geoscientific reasoning practices with geoscience content and the perspective on learning with adopting work-with-it view. While this content is applicable in all regions, it is especially helpful for science teachers in the Asia-Pacific region to understand geocognition learning progressions to improve teaching and better support students to understand local geological environments in terms of plate tectonics.

description: Latent TB screening and management in accordance with the Heath surveillance protection centre (HSPC) guidelines is imperative for patient safety and public health. A clinical audit was performed in the TB services of a large teaching hospital in Dublin. The audit measured wait times from referral to diagnosis and compliance with the components of the HSPC guidelines; The results revealed variance incompliance with the HSPC guideline for the screening process and the management process of Latent TB. The variation in the screening process led to delays in thediagnosis and treatment of patients. In addition to the non-standardised screening and management, various specialties were following different guidelines for thescreening of Latent TB. This resulted in poor compliance with the HSPC guideline.There is evidence in the literature which demonstrates the negative impact of unscreened patients, untreated patients and nonadherence to the clinical guidelines in the healthcare organisation. The focus of this Quality Improvement (QI) project is to Improve the adherence with the HSPC guideline in order to reduce variation in the screening and management of Latent TB patients. The lean Six Sigma DMAIC approach was applied in the QI to identify the root causes and improvement measures required for change. Based on the data collected and the literature, a QI plan was devised to target the root causes of the problem. The interventions aim to increase staff awareness on Latent TB and the HSPC guidelines by providing staff education and materials.

description: We investigate the electron energy distributions (EEDs) and the corresponding acceleration processes in the jet of PKS 0447$-$439 and estimate its redshift through modeling its observed spectral energy distribution (SED) in the frame of a one-zone synchrotron-self Compton (SSC) model. Three EEDs formed in different acceleration scenarios are assumed: the power-law with exponential cut-off (PLC) EED (shock-acceleration scenario or the case of the EED approaching equilibrium in the stochastic-acceleration scenario), the log-parabolic (LP) EED (stochastic-acceleration scenario and the acceleration dominating) and the broken power law (BPL) EED (no acceleration scenario), and then the corresponding fluxes of both synchrotron and SSC are calculated. The model is applied to PKS 0447-439 and modeling SEDs are compared to the observed SED of this object by using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. Calculating results show that PLC model fails to fit the observed SED well, while the LP and BPL models give comparably good fits for the observed SED. The results indicate that it is possible that stochastic acceleration process acts in the emitting region of PKS 0447-439 and the EED is far from equilibrium (acceleration dominating) or no acceleration process works (in the emitting region). The redshift of PKS 0447-439 is also estimated in our fitting, and $z=0.16\pm0.05$ for LP case and $z=0.17\pm0.04$ for BPL case.

description: We show that the integration of a 1-cocycle I(X) of the space of long knots in R^3 over the Fox-Hatcher 1-cycles gives rise to a Vassiliev invariant of order exactly three. This result can be seen as a continuation of the previous work of the second named author, proving that the integration of I(X) over the Gramain 1-cycles is the Casson invariant, the unique nontrivial Vassiliev invariant of order two (up to scalar multiplications). The result in the present paper is also analogous to part of Mortier's result. Our result differs from, but is motivated by, Mortier's one in that the 1-cocycle I(X) is given by the configuration space integrals associated with graphs while Mortier's cocycle is obtained in a combinatorial way.

description: Detecting communities, densely connected groups may contribute to unravel the underlying relationships among the units present in diverse biological networks (e.g., interactome, coexpression networks, ecological networks, etc.). We recently showed that communities can be very precisely characterized by maximizing Surprise, a global network parameter. Here we present SurpriseMe, a tool that integrates the outputs of seven of the best algorithms available to estimate the maximum Surprise value. SurpriseMe also generates distance matrices that allow to visualize the relationships among the solutions generated by the algorithms. We show that the communities present in small and medium-sized networks, with up to 10.000 nodes, can be easily characterized: on standard PC computers, these analyses take less than an hour. Also, four of the algorithms may quite rapidly analyze networks with up to 100.000 nodes, given enough memory resources. Because of its performance and simplicity, SurpriseMe is a reference tool for community structure characterization.

description: We write the Kerr-Schild tetrads in terms of the flat space-time tetrads and of a (1,1) tensor $S^λ_μ$. This tensor can be considered as a projection operator, since it transforms (i) flat space-time tetrads into non-flat tetrads, and vice-versa, and (ii) the Minkowski space-time metric tensor into a non-flat metric tensor, and vice-versa. The $S^λ_μ$ tensor and its inverse are constructed in terms of the standard null vector field $l_μ$ that defines the Kerr-Schild form of the metric tensor in general relativity, and that yields black holes and non-linear gravitational waves as solutions of the vacuum Einstein's field equations. We show that the condition for the vanishing of the Ricci tensor obtained by Kerr and Schild, in empty space-time, is also a condition for the vanishing of the Nijenhuis tensor constructed out of $S^λ_μ$. Thus, a theory based on the Nijenhuis tensor yields an important class of solutions of the Einstein's field equations, namely, black holes and non-linear gravitational waves. We also show that the present mathematical framework can easily admit modifications of the Newtonian potential that may explain the long range gravitational effects related to galaxy rotation curves.

description: We consider Poisson's equation for quasi-birth-and-death processes (QBDs) and we exploit the special transition structure of QBDs to obtain its solutions in two different forms. One is based on a decomposition through first passage times to lower levels, the other is based on a recursive expression for the deviation matrix. We revisit the link between a solution of Poisson's equation and perturbation analysis and we show that it applies to QBDs. We conclude with the PH/M/1 queue as an illustrative example, and we measure the sensitivity of the expected queue size to the initial value.

description: We show that the 2-Segal spaces (also called decomposition spaces) of Dyckerhoff-Kapranov and Gálvez-Kock-Tonks have a natural analogue within simplicial sets, which we call quasi-2-Segal sets, and that the two ideas enjoy a similar relationship as the one Segal spaces have with quasi-categories. In particular, we construct a model structure on the category of simplicial sets whose fibrant objects are the quasi-2-Segal sets which is Quillen equivalent to a model structure for complete 2-Segal spaces (where our notion of completeness comes from one of the equivalent characterizations of completeness for Segal spaces). We also prove a path space criterion, which says that a simplicial set is a quasi-2-Segal set if and only if its path spaces (also called décalage) are quasi-categories, as well as an edgewise subdivision criterion.

description: In addition to General Purpose Processors (GPP), Multicore SoCs equipping modern mobile devices contain specialized Digital Signal Processor designed with the aim to provide better performance and low energy consumption properties. However, the experimental measurements we have achieved revealed that system overhead, in case of DSP video decoding, causes drastic performances drop and energy efficiency as compared to the GPP decoding. This paper describes DyPS, a new approach for energy-aware processor switching (GPP or DSP) according to the video quality . We show the pertinence of our solution in the context of adaptive video decoding and describe an implementation on an embedded Linux operating system with the help of the GStreamer framework. A simple case study showed that DyPS achieves 30% energy saving while sustaining the decoding performance

description: The dynamic oxygen migration at the interface of carbon allotropes dominated by the periodic hexagonal rings, including graphene and carbon nanotube, has opened up a new avenue to realize dynamic covalent materials. However, for the carbon materials with hybrid carbon rings, such as biphenylene, whether the dynamic oxygen migration at its interface can still be found remains unknown. Using both density functional theory calculations and machine-learning-based molecular dynamics (MLMD) simulations, we found that the oxygen migration departing away from the four-membered carbon (C4) ring is hindered, and the oxygen atom prefers to spontaneously migrate toward/around the C4 ring. This locally spontaneous dynamic oxygen migration on the biphenylene is attributed to the high barrier of about 1.5 eV for the former process and relatively low barrier of about 0.3 eV for the latter one, originating from the enhanced activity of C-O bond near/around the C4 ring due to the hybrid carbon rings structure. Moreover, the locally spontaneous dynamic oxygen migration is further confirmed by MLMD simulations. This work sheds light on the potential of biphenylene as a catalyst for spatial-controlled energy conversion and provides the guidance for realizing the dynamic covalent interface at other carbon-based or two-dimensional materials.

description: We find that the four dimensional cosmological Einstein-Yang-Mills theory with $SU(2)$ gauge group admits Lifshitz spacetime as a base solution for the dynamical exponent $z>1$. Motivated by this, we next demonstrate numerically that the field equations admit black hole solutions which behave regularly on the horizon and at spatial infinity for different horizon topologies. The solutions depend on one parameter, the strength of the gauge field at the horizon, which is fine-tuned to capture the Lifshitz asymptotics at infinity. We also discuss the behavior of solutions and the change in Hawking temperature for black holes that are large or small with respect to the length scale $L$, which is itself fixed by the value of the cosmological constant.

An isoperimetric inequality for surfaces formed from spherical polygons

description: We give a new proof of an isoperimetric inequality for a family of closed surfaces, which have Gaussian curvature identically equal to one wherever the surface is smooth. These surfaces are formed from a convex, spherical polygon, with each vertex of the polygon leading to a non-smooth point on the surface. For example, the surface formed from a spherical lune is a surface of revolution, with two non-smooth tips. Combined with a straightforward approximation argument, this inequality was first proved by Bérard, Besson, and Gallot, where they provide a generalization of the Lévy-Gromov isoperimetric inequality. The inequality implies an isoperimetric inequality for geodesically convex subsets of the sphere, and, using a Faber-Krahn theorem, it also implies a lower bound on the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of a region of a given area on the closed surfaces. Via approximation, we convert this into a lower bound on the first Dirichlet-Neumann eigenvalue of domains contained in geodesically convex subsets of the sphere.

description: The iterative diagonalization of a sequence of large ill-conditioned generalized eigenvalue problems is a computational bottleneck in quantum mechanical methods employing a nonorthogonal basis for {\em ab initio} electronic structure calculations. We propose a hybrid preconditioning scheme to effectively combine global and locally accelerated preconditioners for rapid iterative diagonalization of such eigenvalue problems. In partition-of-unity finite-element (PUFE) pseudopotential density-functional calculations, employing a nonorthogonal basis, we show that the hybrid preconditioned block steepest descent method is a cost-effective eigensolver, outperforming current state-of-the-art global preconditioning schemes, and comparably efficient for the ill-conditioned generalized eigenvalue problems produced by PUFE as the locally optimal block preconditioned conjugate-gradient method for the well-conditioned standard eigenvalue problems produced by planewave methods.

description: Ralph Lainson was a distinguished protozoologist and a parasitologist of many abilities. Above all, he was a naturalist, as reflected both by his approach to work and by his two principal hobbies, fishing and collecting butterflies. Besides this, he had a strong artistic streak, expressed by his love of playing the trombone and painting. Many of his published works are exquisitely illustrated with his own watercolour and pen and ink drawings. These talents are present throughout his scientific career. He was a ‘traditional protozoologist’, who wanted to find out how parasites were transmitted and related to each other. Although many of the organisms he discovered were associated with a disease, Ralph openly admitted that his ultimate interest would always be the parasite. His research methods were simple, but he would readily embrace a technology if it solved his problem. He admitted to not being good with equipment. As an example, he mentioned an aptitude test used by the British Army: to put together a dismantled bicycle tyre pump—for him this was an impossible task! This shows his ability to use such tales to get others to do tasks he preferred not to, as they distracted him. His self-control was remarkable; in the 30 years that we worked together, I cannot remember a single instance of him raising his voice to anybody. He was extremely dedicated to whatever he did, be it work, hobbies or play. His stories at the dinner table or around a campfire, when out in the field, were a source of joy that reflected his good nature.
