description: Episinus maculipes numidicus Kulczyński, 1905 Figs 19-20 E. m. numidica Kulczyński, 1905: 437, pl. 11, figs 4, 17, male, female, type region North Africa. Description, identification. Kulczyński (1905). Taxonomic status. Considerations on the subspecific rank have to be postponed owing to lack of material, especially males. Material examined. Tunisia: Jendouba, Kroumirie near Aïn Draham, 196 m, 1 ♀, (SMF), 16.4.2007, beating and sweeping in macchia, leg. C. Muster. Measurements. Female (n=1): Total length 3.8, carapace length 1.3, width 1.2, length femur I 1.9, tibia I 1.5 mm. Somatic features, colouration. The single female shows a similar colour pattern to E. maculipes, except for the sternum, which lacks a light median stripe. Epigynum /vulva (Figs 19-20). Epigynal cavity considerably wider than long, 1.8 times in the examined female. Cavity 0.24 mm wide, about as long as receptacula seminis. Median septum broad and rather short. Differentiation from E. maculipes. As indicated by Kulczyński (1905) Episinus m. numidicus is smaller than E. maculipes. The following features agree well with the description of Kulczyński (1905): Sternum almost completely dark, without light median stripe. Median septum of female epigynum considerably broader and shorter than in E. maculipes (Fig. 19 vs. 14; see also Kulczyński 1905, figs 17 vs. 18). Ratio width to length of epigynal cavity larger in E. m. numidicus. Cavity about as long as receptacula, while in E. maculipes it is 1.2-1.3 times longer than receptacula. Distribution. North Africa (Kulczyński 1905).

description: Natural materials typically interact weakly with the magnetic component of light which greatly limits their applications. This has led to the development of artificial metamaterials and metasurfaces. However, natural atoms, where only electric dipole transitions are relevant at optical frequencies, can cooperatively respond to light to form collective excitations with strong magnetic, as well as electric, interactions, together with corresponding electric and magnetic mirror reflection properties. By combining the electric and magnetic collective degrees of freedom we show that ultrathin planar arrays of atoms can be utilized as atomic lenses to focus light to subwavelength spots at the diffraction limit, to steer light at different angles allowing for optical sorting, and as converters between different angular momentum states. The method is based on coherently superposing induced electric and magnetic dipoles to engineer a quantum nanophotonic Huygens' surface of atoms, giving full $2π$ phase control over the transmission, with close to zero reflection.

description: Let p be an odd prime and S a finite p-group. B. Oliver's conjecture arises from an open problem in the theory of p-local finite groups. It is the claim that a certain characteristic subgroup X(S) of S always contains the Thompson subgroup. In previous work the first two authors and M. Lilienthal recast Oliver's conjecture as a statement about the representation theory of the factor group S/X(S). We now verify the conjecture for a wide variety of groups S/X(S).

Italy: Lombardia, Lake Lugano, Porlezza, 1 ♀ (CTh), 30.6.1962 (Thaler 1966, Abb. 2d, sub Theridion sp.). Description, identification. This species has not been reported since the description of Simon (1914: 270, 297). A more detailed redescription including that of the unknown male is planned in comparison with the other members of the Theridion melanurum group (Knoflach, in preparation). For comparative analysis and illustration of females see Thaler (1966). Measurements. One female from El Pardal: Total length 3.2, carapace length 1.2, width 1.1, length femur I 1.8, tibia I 1.5 mm. Somatic features, colouration. The species is clearly a representative of the Theridion melanurum -group (Thaler 1966) and shares its general appearance, colour pattern and overall conformation of genital organs with Theridion betteni, T. melanurum, T. mystaceum, etc. Abdomen with clear folium. Epigynum /vulva (Figs 68, 76-77). Epigynal cavity a little longer than wide, scarcely sclerotised. Copulatory orifices about 0.1 mm apart, situated at posterior inner side of cavity. Copulatory ducts extensively coiled with large overlap of coils. Receptacula seminis globular. Distribution. Simon (1914) reported Theridion semitinctum from France (Provence), Spain, and the Balearic islands (Simon 1914). A further record came from northern Italy (Thaler 1966 sub Theridion sp.). The species has probably been confused with T. mystaceum.

description: Although single empirical studies provide important insights into who adopts a specific LCT for what reason, fundamental questions concerning the relations between decision subject (= who decides), decision object (= what is decided upon) and context (= when and where it is decided) remain unanswered. In this paper, this research gap is addressed by deriving a decision framework for residential decision-making, suggesting that traits of decision subject and object are determinants of financial, environmental, symbolic, normative, effort and technical considerations preceding adoption. Thereafter, the decision framework is initially verified by employing literature on the adoption of photovoltaic systems, energy-efficient appliances and green tariffs. Of the six proposed relations, two could be confirmed (financial and environmental), one could be rejected (effort), and three could neither be confirmed nor rejected due to lacking evidence. Future research on LCT adoption could use the decision framework as a guidepost to establish a more coordinated and integrated approach, ultimately allowing to address fundamental questions.
Cognitive mapping of the home environment
Creators: name: Rothwell, David Colin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The dissertation describes an experiment in cognitive mapping. Cognitive mapping is the process by which spatial information is acquired, coded, stored, decoded and applied to the comprehension of the everyday physical environment. A cognitive map can also be a physical drawing, produced by hand to communicate the original map in the head. The dissertation uses the term, manual map, to distinguish the graphic hand drawn representation from the actual cognitive map. The experiment required adult household members to sketch a floor plan of their home, complete a spatial aptitude and graphic ability test and supply biographical, socio-economic, and attitudinal information. Children over the age of three also sketched a floor plan and completed an I.Q. test. All seventy sample households (222 respondents) lived in houses with identical floor plans. A major finding of the experiment was that manual maps can be reliable and valid research instrument in the study of cognitive maps. Psychometric techniques were used in the data analysis to test for reliability and validity. Both spatial aptitude and graphic ability were found to be significantly related to the ability of individuals to communicate their cognitive maps. Persons with superior mental faculties have cognitive maps which more closely reflect reality. When psychophysical functions were examined, there appeared to be a linear relationship between subjective distance and area and real distance and area. Socio-economic variables, biographical data, and the subject's cognitive structure of the home as revealed through the semantic differential, did not produce significant correlations with the ability to communicate cognitive maps. Children's ability to produce a manual map which resembles reality is significantly related to age, spatial aptitude, and graphic ability. A child's manual map is a reflection of his general stage of mental development.

Exact ground state Monte Carlo method for Bosons without importance sampling

description: Generally ``exact'' Quantum Monte Carlo computations for the ground state of many Bosons make use of importance sampling. The importance sampling is based, either on a guiding function or on an initial variational wave function. Here we investigate the need of importance sampling in the case of Path Integral Ground State (PIGS) Monte Carlo. PIGS is based on a discrete imaginary time evolution of an initial wave function with a non zero overlap with the ground state, that gives rise to a discrete path which is sampled via a Metropolis like algorithm. In principle the exact ground state is reached in the limit of an infinite imaginary time evolution, but actual computations are based on finite time evolutions and the question is whether such computations give unbiased exact results. We have studied bulk liquid and solid 4He with PIGS by considering as initial wave function a constant, i.e. the ground state of an ideal Bose gas. This implies that the evolution toward the ground state is driven only by the imaginary time propagator, i.e. there is no importance sampling. For both the phases we obtain results converging to those obtained by considering the best available variational wave function (the Shadow wave function) as initial wave function. Moreover we obtain the same results even by considering wave functions with the wrong correlations, for instance a wave function of a strongly localized Einstein crystal for the liquid phase. This convergence is true not only for diagonal properties such as the energy, the radial distribution function and the static structure factor, but also for off-diagonal ones, such as the one--body density matrix. From this analysis we conclude that zero temperature PIGS calculations can be as unbiased as those of finite temperature Path Integral Monte Carlo.

description: The aim of this systematic review was to quantify the data available on corticosteroids (CS), hyaluronic acid, (HA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and cell-based therapies for knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. A literature search was conducted on PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science according to the PRISMA guidelines. Inclusion criteria: clinical studies of any level of evidence, written in English, evaluating the intra-articular use of CS, HA, PRP, or cell-based therapies for knee OA treatment. The initial search identified 17,415 records. A total of 766 studies from 1959 were included. Of these, 401 were randomized controlled trials (RCTs), 110 comparative studies, and 255 case series, for a total of 75,834 patients. (11,245 treated with CS, 40,862 with HA, 16,174 with PRP, and 7,553 with cell-based therapies). The number of placebo-controlled RCTs remains limited and a negligible percentage of studies investigated possible disease-modifying effects of these treatments for knee OA. The evidence on injective knee OA treatments is increasing at different speeds with a more rapidly growing literature focusing on orthobiologics. Currently, HA has the largest evidence, followed by PRP that recently surpassed the number of studies evaluating CS. Cell-based therapies are also growing rapidly, although the number of studies is still lower. The rapid literature shift toward orthobiologics urges an update in societies’ guidelines to align with the new body of evidence on knee OA treatments. www.crd.york.ac.uk/prosperoi dentifier is CRD42024592972.

description: Mini-EUSO is the first mission of the JEM-EUSO program located on the International Space Station. One of the main goals of the mission is to provide valuable scientific data in view of future large missions devoted to study Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) from space by exploiting the fluorescence emission generated by Extensive Air Showers (EAS) developing in the atmosphere. A space mission like Mini-EUSO experiences continuous changes in atmospheric conditions, including the cloud presence. The influence of clouds on space-based observation is, therefore, an important topic to investigate as it might alter the instantaneous exposure for EAS detection or deteriorate the quality of the EAS images with consequences on the reconstructed EAS parameters. For this purpose, JEM-EUSO is planning to have an IR camera and a lidar as part of its Atmospheric Monitoring System. At the same time, it would be extremely beneficial if the UV camera itself would be able to detect the presence of clouds, at least in some specific conditions. For this reason, we analyze a few case studies by comparing the pixel count rates from Mini-EUSO during orbits with the cloud cover (as cloud fraction). This quantity is retrieved from the Global Forecast System (GFS) model at different height levels over the Mini-EUSO trajectory. The results of this analysis are reported.

description: Recently a new model has been proposed to describe free massive spin-2 particles in $D$ dimensions in terms of a non symmetric rank-2 tensor $e_{μν}$ and a mixed symmetry tensor $B^{μ[αβ]}$. The model is invariant under linearized diffeomorphisms without Stueckelberg fields. It resembles a spin-2 version of the topologically massive spin-1 BF model (Cremmer-Scherk model). Here we apply the Dirac-Bergmann procedure in order to identify all Hamiltonian constraints and perform a complete counting of degrees of freedom. In $D=3+1$ we find 5 degrees of freedom corresponding to helicities $\pm{2}$, $\pm{1}$, $0$ as expected. The positivity of the reduced Hamiltonian is proved by using spin projection operators. We have also proposed a parent action that establishes the duality between the Fierz-Pauli and the new model. The equivalence between gauge invariant correlation functions of both theories is demonstrated.

Emphasis will be given to difficulties related to the explainability of highly complex and efficient AI systems which deliver decisions whose explanation defies classical logical schemes of cause and effect. AI systems have provably delivered unintelligible solutions which in retrospect were characterized as ingenious (for example move 37 of the game 2 of AlphaGo). It will be elaborated on arguments supporting the notion that if AI-solutions were to be discarded in advance because of their not being thoroughly comprehensible, a great deal of the potentiality of intelligent systems would be wasted.

Dependence of cosmic shear covariances on cosmology - Impact on parameter estimation

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: In cosmic shear likelihood analyses the covariance is most commonly assumed to be constant in parameter space. Therefore, when calculating the covariance matrix (analytically or from simulations), its underlying cosmology should not influence the likelihood contours. We examine whether the aforementioned assumption holds and quantify how strong cosmic shear covariances vary within a reasonable parameter range. Furthermore, we examine the impact on likelihood contours when assuming different cosmologies in the covariance. We find that covariances vary significantly within the considered parameter range (Omega_m=[0.2;0.4], sigma_8=[0.6;1.0]) and that this has a non-negligible impact on the size of likelihood contours. This impact increases with increasing survey size, increasing number density of source galaxies, decreasing ellipticity noise, and when using non-Gaussian covariances. To improve on the assumption of a constant covariance we present two methods. The adaptive covariance is the most accurate method, but it is computationally expensive. To reduce the computational costs we give a scaling relation for covariances. As a second method we outline the concept of an iterative likelihood analysis. Here, we additionally account for non-Gaussianity using a ray-tracing covariance derived from the Millennium simulation.

description: This work is dedicated to comparison of open source as well as proprietary transport protocols for high-speed data transmission via IP networks. The contemporary common TCP needs significant improvement since it was developed as general-purpose transport protocol and firstly introduced four decades ago. In nowadays networks, TCP fits not all communication needs that society has. Caused of it another transport protocols have been developed and successfully used for e.g. Big Data movement. In scope of this research the following protocols have been investigated for its efficiency on 10 Gbps links: UDT, RBUDP, MTP and RWTP. The protocols were tested under different impairments such as Round Trip Time up to 400ms and packet losses up to 2%. Investigated parameters are the data rate under different conditions of the network, the CPU load by sender and receiver during the experiments, size of feedback data, CPU usage per Gbps and the amount of feedback data per GiByte of effectively transmitted data. The best performance and fair resources consumption was observed by RWTP. From the open source projects, the best behavior is showed by RBUDP.

description: The 4.8 GHz formaldehyde masers are one of a number of rare types of molecular masers in the Galaxy. The aim of the present calculations is to explore a larger region of parameter space to improve on our previous calculations, thereby to better understand the range of physical conditions under which an inversion of the 4.8 GHz transition occurs. We solve the rate equations of the first 40 rotational levels of o-formaldehyde using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. We consider gas kinetic temperatures between 10 K and 300 K, H_2 densities between 10^4 and 10^6 per cc, and a number of different dust temperatures and grey-body spectral energy density distributions. Using a grey-body dust radiation field appropriate for Arp 220 we find that none of 4.8 GHz, 14 GHz, and 28 GHz transitions are inverted for kinetic temperatures less than 100 K. Our calculations also show that in theory the 4.8 GHz transition can be inverted over a large region of explored parameter space in the presence of an external far-infrared radiation field. Limiting the abundance of o-formaldehyde to less than 10^{-5}, however, reduces the region where an inversion occurs to H_2 densities > 10^5 per cc and kinetic temperatures >100 K. We propose a pumping scheme for the formaldehyde masers which can explain why collisions play a central role in inverting the 4.8 GHz transition, and therefore why an external radiation field alone does not lead to an inversion. Collisions are an essential mechanism for the inversion of the 4.8 GHz transition. Our results suggest that 4.8 GHz formaldehyde megamasers are associated with hot and dense gas typical of high mass star forming regions rather than with cold material.

description: The skin is the largest organ in the bodies of dogs and is unceasingly exposed to myriad of stressful internal as well as external factors. Furthermore, skin is one of the most imperative immunologic structures in dogs, which routinely need supplementation of key nutrients to maintain its integrity. Any subtle changes in the nourishment of skin, as well as variations with respect to its immunological state, can exert noticeable effects on skin and coat conditions of the dogs. Dermatological disorders particularly of dogs, represent the most frequently presented complaints in veterinary practice. Canine cutaneous problems refer to skin abnormalities that are usually caused by inadequate nutrition which may further be associated with hormonal imbalances, in addition to numerous agents, including microorganisms, physical or chemical agents, and immunological reactions.
Magic and the millennium : a study of the millenary motifs in the occult milieu of Puritan England, 1640-1660
Creators: name: Trout, Paul Arno
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: It is the thesis of this study that during the years of the Puritan Revolution (T640-1660), the occult milieu of England gave repeated expression to what can only be called a millenarian salvational message, that is, to a message which promised a salvation at once collective, terrestrial, imminent, total, and miraculous. It is also argued that the salvational vision advanced by the magicians of the Hermetic magical tradition agreed almost perfectly with the millenarian hopes and dreams of the Puritan sects active during the revolutionary decades. This study offers a hitherto overlooked reason why--during the revolutionary years--Puritans of many persuasions, but particularly those of the left-wing sects, were attracted to, and even sought to revive, the occult sciences. The occult sciences attracted Puritans because they provided beliefs and 'myths' which validated the more or less intense millenarianism which characterized left-wing Puritan groups, those groups dissatisfied with the conservative 'reformation' offered by the Presbyterian and Cromwellian settlements. This study demonstrates that Puritans with many different kinds of millenarian beliefs employed magic--its myths, its doctrines, its prophecies--to validate their own desires for, and expectations of, a 'radical' or 'perfect' reformation of the world--a reformation tantamount to the millennium itself. In an introductory chapter (II), the relationship between magic and millenarianism is explored. This chapter argues that Western magic acquired a salvational mission of millenarian scope and intensity about the time of the Hermetic revival of the Renaissance. This mission enjoined the Hermetic magician to use the powers of magic to redeem all creation, to release both humankind and nature from the Curse. To the Western magician, this redemptive mission meant that the occult sciences were to be used to restore paradise to earth. The restoration of paradise would be accomplished when humankind enjoyed once again all the spiritual and material blessings Adam was thought to have enjoyed while in Eden. From the time of the Hermetic revival through the seventeenth century, the occult sciences gave repeated expression to this millenarian promise of world redemption. Chapter II concludes by showing that Puritan millenarians expected to enjoy in the millennium precisely the same spiritual and material blessings the magicians promised to bestow on all people through magic. The remaining chapters explore the same millenarian motifs and doctrines in the occult milieu of Puritan England. The occult milieu is defined as astrology, Behmenism, and Rosicrucianism. During the Puritan Revolution, each of these occult circles gave repeated expression to a wide variety of millenarian pronouncements, almost all of which validated in some way the millenarianism pervading the Puritan sects during the revolutionary years.

description: A multitude of NGOs form informal savings and lending associations in developing countries, called savings groups. Group members are responsible for the day-to-day governance, operating within the framework provided by the NGOs. As NGOs differ in the model they provide, savings groups are endowed with different levels of autonomy over their operations. Drawing on theories related to autonomy and performance, we test whether more autonomous savings groups perform better. A two-way correlated random effects regression on data for 97,653 savings groups formed by five NGOs in 16 countries shows that savings groups with more autonomy over their financial operations demonstrate greater financial performance. Additionally, the financial performance of more autonomous savings groups improves more in subsequent cycles, suggesting that savings groups with more autonomy have a greater ability to adapt. We argue that groups thus benefit from being granted more autonomy over their day-to-day operations. Our study may have broader implications for similar development interventions by NGOs, in which participants could benefit from increased autonomy.
Self-Monitored Detection Probability Estimation for the Labeled Multi-Bernoulli Filter

description: Automated vehicles rely on their environment model, usually generated by a tracking module using sensor data, to make decisions. Therefore, estimating the accuracy of the tracking module is vital for the safe and reliable operation of the vehicle. This work makes a step towards this goal by providing a detection probability estimation method with a self-monitored quality assessment for the labeled multi-Bernoulli filter. We demonstrate the significance of the proposed quality index by comparing it with the actual estimation error calculated with ground truth data. This shows that the developed index is a meaningful value that can be computed online without ground truth data.

description: We consider an incompressible fluid in a three-dimensional pipe, following the Navier-Stokes system with classical boundary conditions. We are interested in the following question: is there any optimal shape for the criterion "energy dissipated by the fluid"? Moreover, is the cylinder the optimal shape? We prove that there exists an optimal shape in a reasonable class of admissible domains, but the cylinder is not optimal. For that purpose, we explicit the first order optimality condition, thanks to adjoint state and we prove that it is impossible that the adjoint state be a solution of this over-determined system when the domain is the cylinder. At last, we show some numerical simulations for that problem.

description: It is well-established that, through canonical functions in transcription and DNA repair, the tumor suppressor p53 plays a central role in safeguarding cells from the consequences of DNA damage. Recent data retrieved in tumor and stem cells demonstrated that p53 also carries out non-canonical functions when interacting with the translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerase iota (POLι) at DNA replication forks. This protein complex triggers a DNA damage tolerance (DDT) mechanism controlling the DNA replication rate. Given that the levels of p53 trigger non-binary rheostat-like functions in response to stress or during differentiation, we explore the relevance of the p53 levels for its DDT functions at the fork. We show that subtle changes in p53 levels modulate the contribution of some DDT factors including POLι, POLη, POLζ, REV1, PCNA, PRIMPOL, HLTF and ZRANB3 to the DNA replication rate. Our results suggest that the levels of p53 are central to coordinate the balance between DDT pathways including (i) fork-deceleration by the ZRANB3-mediated fork reversal factor, (ii) POLι-p53-mediated fork-slowing, (iii) POLι- and POLη-mediated TLS and (iv) PRIMPOL-mediated fork-acceleration. Collectively, our study reveals the relevance of p53 protein levels for the DDT pathway choice in replicating cells.

description: We study the formation of trails in populations of self-propelled agents that make oriented deposits of pheromones and also sense such deposits to which they then respond with gradual changes of their direction of motion. Based on extensive off-lattice computer simulations aiming at the scale of insects, e.g., ants, we identify a number of emerging stationary patterns and obtain qualitatively the non-equilibrium state diagram of the model, spanned by the strength of the agent--pheromone interaction and the number density of the population. In particular, we demonstrate the spontaneous formation of persistent, macroscopic trails, and highlight some behaviour that is consistent with a dynamic phase transition. This includes a characterisation of the mass of system-spanning trails as a potential order parameter. We also propose a dynamic model for a few macroscopic observables, including the sub-population size of trail-following agents, which captures the early phase of trail formation.

description: The search for long-lived quantum memories, which can be efficiently interfaced with flying qubits, is longstanding. One possible solution is to use the electron spin of a color center in diamond to mediate interaction between a long-lived nuclear spin and a photon. Realizing this in a nanodiamond furthermore facilitates the integration into photonic devices and enables the realization of hybrid quantum systems with access to quantum memories. Here, we investigated the spin environment of negatively charged silicon-vacancy centers in a nanodiamond and demonstrate strong coupling of its electron spin, while the electron spin’s decoherence rate remained below 1 MHz. We furthermore demonstrate multi-spin coupling with the potential to establish registers of quantum memories in nanodiamonds.

description: When the anti-periodic boundary condition is imposed for a bulk field in extradimensional theories, independently of the background metric, the lightest component in the anti-periodic field becomes stable and hence a good candidate for the dark matter in the effective 4D theory due to the remaining accidental discrete symmetry. Noting that in the gauge-Higgs unification scenario, introduction of anti-periodic fermions is well-motivated by a phenomenological reason, we investigate dark matter physics in the scenario. As an example, we consider a five-dimensional SO(5)$\timesU(1)_X$ gauge-Higgs unification model compactified on the $S^1/Z_2$ with the warped metric. Due to the structure of the gauge-Higgs unification, interactions between the dark matter particle and the Standard Model particles are largely controlled by the gauge symmetry, and hence the model has a strong predictive power for the dark matter physics. Evaluating the dark matter relic abundance, we identify a parameter region consistent with the current observations. Furthermore, we calculate the elastic scattering cross section between the dark matter particle and nucleon and find that a part of the parameter region is already excluded by the current experimental results for the direct dark matter search and most of the region will be explored in future experiments.
