Urocerus taxodii

description: Urocerus taxodii (Ashmead), 1904
(Fig. 31-32)
 Diagnosis. Females have a black abdomen, except for the orangish cornus, a black head with a pale spot behind each eye, black legs with some white markings on the basal metatibiae and metabasitarsi, black wings and antennae which are basally black and apically white. Urocerus sah (Mocsáry) and U. gigas flavicornis (Fabricius) differ in having yellowish wings. The abdomen of U. cressoni is basally black and apically orange. Urocerus albicornis (Fabricius) is separated by its black cornus. The males have a black head with a pale spot behind each eye, black wings, antennae that are apically pale and basally black, and entirely yellowish to reddish abdomen, and the bases of the metatibiae and metabasitarsi much paler. The legs of U. cressoni are entirely black. Urocerus gigas flavicornis and U. albicornis are distinguished by their bicolored abdomens. Urocerus sah has a mostly yellow head with no discernable pale spots behind the eyes and entirely yellow antennae.
 Natural history. Taxodium distichum (Linnaeus) Rich. (Taxodiaceae), from which adults have been reared, is the only known host (Bradley 1913; Stange 1996; Schiff et al. 2006).

description: Previous theoretical investigations of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) materials explain this effect using a ``clustered'' state with preformed ferromagnetic islands that rapidly align their moments with increasing external magnetic fields. While qualitatively successful, explicit calculations indicate drastically different typical resistivity values in two- and three-dimensional lattices, contrary to experimental observations. This conceptual bottleneck in the phase-separated CMR scenario is resolved here considering the cooperative nature of the Mn-oxide lattice distortions. This induces power-law correlations in the quenched random fields used in toy models with phase competition. When these effects are incorporated, resistor-network calculations reveal very similar results in two and three dimensions, solving the puzzle.

description: Defects play an important role in a number of fields dealing with ordered structures. They are often described in terms of their topology, mutual interaction and their statistical characteristics. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally the possibility of an active manipulation and removal of defects. We focus on the spontaneous formation of two-dimensional spatial structures in a nonlinear optical system, a liquid crystal light valve under single optical feedback. With increasing distance from threshold, the spontaneously formed hexagonal pattern becomes disordered and contains several defects. A scheme based on Fourier filtering allows us to remove defects and to restore spatial order. Starting without control, the controlled area is progressively expanded, such that defects are swept out of the active area.

I introduce a notion of Gromov-Hausdorff distance which makes this moduli space into a metric space. Further properties of this metric space are studied in the next papers. The importance of the work can be situated in fields such as cosmology, quantum gravity and - for the mathematicians - global Lorentzian geometry.

description: Beginning with delivery on the July 2006 contract, non-convergence became an issue in the Chicago wheat futures contract. Despite several changes to the contract, convergence remains an issue. Recently, some have proposed eliminating Toledo, Ohio as a delivery point for the Chicago wheat contract. One concern is the potential impact this proposal could have on the cash-futures basis in the Toledo and surrounding delivery areas. To examine this issue, the impact of the removal of Toledo as a delivery point for corn and soybeans futures contracts beginning with contracts expiring in 2000 is examined. The changes in the Toledo and other Ohio corn and soybean basis conflict both in direction and significance, by crop and relative to changes in the corn and soybean basis in Illinois and Iowa. Thus, no consistent empirical evidence is found to support the claim that eliminating the Toledo switching district in 2000 as a delivery point for corn and soybeans had a serious detrimental effect on the corn and soybean basis in Ohio. These findings suggest that replacing Toledo as the primary delivery point for the Chicago wheat contract would not be expected to have a substantially negative impact upon the Ohio wheat basis.

description: In this second paper, I construct a limit space of a Cauchy sequence of globally hyperbolic spacetimes. In the second section, I work gradually towards a construction of the limit space. I prove the limit space is unique up to isometry. I als show that, in general, the limit space has quite complicated causal behaviour. This work prepares the final paper in which I shall study in more detail properties of the limit space and the moduli space of (compact) globally hyperbolic spacetimes (cobordisms). As a fait divers, I give in this paper a suitable definition of dimension of a Lorentz space in agreement with the one given by Gromov in the Riemannian case.

description: Congress has mandated that more biofuels be used over the next decade. To ensure compliance with the mandate, RINs are used to track biofuels that fuel blenders mix into motor fuels for domestic consumption. RINs may be traded, and the prices of RINs are affected by the ability of blenders and biofuel producers to comply with the mandate. There are four components to the mandate, one of which relates specifically to cellulosic biofuels, and the EPA has the authority to waive any or all components of the mandate. The purpose of this paper is to gain insight into the interactions between cellulosic biofuel technology and the mandate. To achieve this, the prices of RINs are simulated through the use of an economic model under scenarios varying both levels of technology and the enforcement or waiver of the cellulosic component. If the non-cellulosic components of the mandate are not waived, RIN markets are found to contain the effects that might otherwise be transmitted to crops markets. Higher levels of cellulosic biofuel technology are found to increase compliance costs in the presence of a mandate waiver but lower compliance costs if the mandate is not waived.

description: We present a theoretical analysis of high-order harmonic generation from ion-atom collisions in the presence of linearly polarized intense laser pulses. Photons with frequencies significantly higher than in standard atomic high-harmonic generation are emitted. These harmonics are due to two different mechanisms: (i) collisional electron capture and subsequent laser-driven transfer of an electron between projectile and target atom; (ii) reflection of a laser-driven electron from the projectile leading to recombination at the parent atom.

description: Modern large network systems normally work in cooperation and incorporate dependencies between their components for purposes of efficiency and regulation. Such dependencies may become a major risk since they can cause small scale failures to propagate throughout the system. Thus, the dependent nodes could be a natural target for malicious attacks that aim to exploit these vulnerabilities. Here, we consider for the first time a new type of targeted attacks that are based on the dependency between the networks. We study strategies of attacks that range from dependency-first to dependency-last, where a fraction $1-p$ of the nodes with dependency links, or nodes without dependency links, respectively, are initially attacked. We systematically analyze, both analytically and numerically, the percolation transition of partially interdependent Erdős-Rényi (ER) networks, where a fraction $q$ of the nodes in each network are dependent upon nodes the other network. We find that for a broad range of dependency strength $q$, `dependency-first' strategy, which intuitively is expected to increase the system's vulnerability, actually leads to a more stable system, in terms of lower critical percolation threshold $p_c$, compared with random attacks of the same size. In contrast, the `dependency-last' strategy leads to a more vulnerable system, i.e., higher $p_c$, compared with a random attack. By exploring the dynamics of the cascading failures initiated by dependency-based attacks, we explain this counter-intuitive effect. Our results demonstrate that the most vulnerable components in a system of interdependent networks are not necessarily the ones that lead to the maximal immediate impact but those which initiate a cascade of failures with maximal accumulated damage.

description: Highly fluctuating agricultural prices have rekindled questions regarding the influence of volatile oil and exchange rates markets on dynamic behavior. Using weekly cash data from 1998 to 2009 and VAR and VECM procedures, we estimate the linkages among several agricultural grain and livestock commodities, oil, and exchange rates. We identify a structural break in mid 2006, and perform the analysis for each period. In the first period, agricultural commodity prices are most influenced by idiosyncratic factors as reflected in own lagged prices, and exchange rates and crude oil have limited effect on agricultural markets. In the second period the effect of own lags in the agricultural markets are smaller and the effect of the exchange rate and crude oil are more pronounced, especially in the corn market. In recent years, agricultural commodity markets appear more dependent on exchange rates and to a lesser extent on oil prices.

description: Coupled equations for even and odd particle number correlation functions are set up via the equation of motion method. For the even particle number case this leads to self-consistent RPA (SCRPA) equations already known from the literature. From the equations of the odd particle number case the single particle occupation probabilities are obtained in a self-consistent way. This is the essential new procedure of this work. Both, even and odd particle number cases are based on the same correlated vacuum and, thus, are coupled equations. Applications to the Lipkin model and the 1D Hubbard model give very good results.

description: Previous studies have documented a cost of forward contracting grain relative to hedging in the futures markets. Our study quantifies the value of the income shifting option to forward contracting. An income shifting option refers to the fact that at harvest-time, a farmer can chose to sell uncontracted bushels of corn in the spot market or forward contract to sell after the first of the year. This option has non-trivial tax implications under a progressive tax system. By shifting income to the next tax year, a farmer can reduce the current year’s income level and avoid a higher marginal income tax rate. Further, if country elevators have market power, they can capture some of the value of this income shifting option by offering a weak forward delivery January basis bid. In a sufficiently captive draw area, an elevator knows that a farmer will be willing to accept a weak January forward basis bid so long as he still receives some income tax benefits from deferring sales to the next tax year. br br This option is most valuable during years when farmer income is high. Therefore, in this study we posited that during years of high farmer income we would see forward basis bids which are abnormally lower and appreciate at a slower rate than the harvest-time immediate delivery bids. We measure this effect using basis bids from elevators in seven regions in Illinois from 1980 to 2009. We find that a 1% increase in yield above trend level decreases the January delivery forward basis bids by 3 cents per bushel; we also find that the January delivery forward basis bids appreciate at 44% the rate of the immediate harvest-time delivery basis bids.

description: Prices for corn, soybeans, and wheat futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and corresponding cash prices at delivery locations frequently failed to converge to the per bushel cost of delivering on futures contracts from 2000 to 2009. We found that convergence failure did not adversely effect the incorporation of market fundamentals from unanticipated information. Essentially identical mark fundamentals, from unanticipated information was incorporated into futures and cash prices when convergence failed. Futures and cash prices moved closer together as contract maturity approached even when they did not converge all the way to the per bushel contract delivery cost, indicating that arbitrage was occurring between the two prices but not completed. Without arbitrage the prices would most likely not incorporate identical market fundamentals from unanticipated information when convergence failed. Our results indicate that the failure to complete the arbitrage between futures and cash prices by driving the difference between them down to per bushel delivery cost at contact maturity affected the ability of the two prices to reflect identical market fundamentals.

description: We construct mass models of eight gas rich dwarf galaxies that lie in the Lynx-Cancer void. From NFW fits to the dark matter halo profile, we find that the concentration parameters of halos of void dwarf galaxies are similar to those of dwarf galaxies in normal density regions. We also measure the slope of the central dark matter density profiles, obtained by converting the rotation curves derived using 3-D (\fat) and 2-D (ROTCUR) tilted ring fitting routines, into mass densities. We find that the average slope ($α= -1.39 \pm 0.19$), obtained from 3-D fitting is consistent with that expected from an NFW profile. On the other hand, the average slope measured using the 2-D approach is closer to what would be expected for an isothermal profile. This suggests that systematic effects in velocity field analysis have a significant effect on the slope of the central dark matter density profiles. Given the modest number of galaxies we use for our analysis, it is important to check these results using a larger sample.

description: Schwartz's (1997) two-factor model is generalized to allow for mean reversion in spot prices. Our modeling also acknowledges that commodities exhibit seasonality patterns in the spot price. A Bayesian MCMC algo- rithm is developed to estimate our model. Estimation of the Schwartz model is done by imposing appropriate restrictions to our model. Estimation results are obtained based on monthly observations of soybean futures prices and options prices from the Chicago Board of Trade over period from January 1978 to January 2010. We empirically estimate and compare our model with the Schwartz model, and show how the assumption of mean reversion in spot prices and seasonality a_x000B_ect the prediction of futures prices and option premium with short and long times to maturity.

description: The purpose of this paper is to perform multiple predictions for agricultural commodity prices (one, two and three month periods ahead). In order to obtain multiple-time-ahead predictions, this paper applies the Multivariate Relevance Vector Machine (MVRVM) that is based on a Bayesian learning machine approach for regression. The performance of the MVRVM model is compared with the performance of another multiple output model such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Bootstrapping methodology is applied to analyze robustness of the MVRVM and ANN.

description: (Abridged) Recent cosmic microwave background anisotropy results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe suggest that the universe was reionized at a redshift around 20. Such an early reionization could arise through the ionizing radiation emitted by metal-free population III stars at redshifts of 10 and higher. We discuss infrared background (IRB) surface brightness spatial fluctuations from such a generation of early star formation. We show that the spatial clustering of these stars at tens of arcminute scales generates a contribution to the angular power spectrum of the IRB anisotropies at the same angular scales. This excess can be potentially detected when resolved foreground galaxies out to a redshift of a few is removed from the clustering analysis. Additionally, assuming a population III stellar spectrum, we suggest that the clustering excess related to the first generation of stars can be separated from brightness fluctuations resulting from other foreground sources and galaxies using multifrequency observations in the wavelength range of ~ 1 to 5 microns. In addition to removing the low-redshift galaxy population, the multifrequency data are essential to account for certain foreground contaminants such zodiacal light, which, if varying spatially over degree scales, can be a significant source of confusion for the proposed study. Using various instruments, we study the extent to which spatial fluctuations of the IRB can be studied in the near future.

description: Brightness variations due to dark spots on the stellar surface encode information about stellar surface rotation and magnetic activity. In this work, we analyze the Kepler long-cadence data of 26,521 main-sequence stars of spectral types M and K in order to measure their surface rotation and photometric activity level. Rotation-period estimates are obtained by the combination of a wavelet analysis and autocorrelation function of the light curves. Reliable rotation estimates are determined by comparing the results from the different rotation diagnostics and four data sets. We also measure the photometric activity proxy Sph using the amplitude of the flux variations on an appropriate timescale. We report rotation periods and photometric activity proxies for about 60 per cent of the sample, including 4,431 targets for which McQuillan et al. (2013a,2014) did not report a rotation period. For the common targets with rotation estimates in this study and in McQuillan et al. (2013a,2014), our rotation periods agree within 99 per cent. In this work, we also identify potential polluters, such as misclassified red giants and classical pulsator candidates. Within the parameter range we study, there is a mild tendency for hotter stars to have shorter rotation periods. The photometric activity proxy spans a wider range of values with increasing effective temperature. The rotation period and photometric activity proxy are also related, with Sph being larger for fast rotators. Similar to McQuillan et al. (2013a,2014), we find a bimodal distribution of rotation periods.

description: A ray-based wavefield description is employed in the interpretation of measurements made during the November 1994 Acoustic Engineering Test (the AET experiment). In this experiment phase-coded pulse-like signals with 75 Hz center frequency and 37.5 Hz bandwidth were transmitted near the sound channel axis in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. The resulting acoustic signals were recorded on a moored vertical receiving array at a range of 3252 km. In our analysis both mesoscale and internal-wave-induced sound speed perturbations are taken into account. Much of this analysis exploits results that relate to the subject of ray chaos; these results follow from the Hamiltonian structure of the ray equations. We present evidence that all of the important features of the measured AET wavefields, including their stability, are consistent with a ray-based wavefield description in which ray trajectories are predominantly chaotic.

Effects of boundary roughness on a Q-factor of whispering-gallery-mode lasing microdisk cavities

description: We perform numerical studies of the effect of sidewall imperfections on the resonant state broadening of the optical microdisk cavities for lasing applications. We demonstrate that even small edge roughness causes a drastic degradation of high-Q whispering gallery (WG) mode resonances reducing their Q-values by many orders of magnitude. At the same time, low-Q WG resonances are rather insensitive to the surface roughness. The results of numerical simulation obtained using the scattering matrix technique, are analyzed and explained in terms of wave reflection at a curved dielectric interface combined with the examination of Poincare surface of sections in the classical ray picture.

description: We study a system of two coupled oscillators (the $A$ oscillator) each of the oscillators linearly interacts with its own heat bath consisting of a set of independent harmonic oscillators (the $B$ oscillators). The initial state of the $A$ oscillator is taken to be coherent while the $B$ oscillators are in thermal states. We analyze the time-dependent state of the $A$ oscillator which is a two-mode Gaussian state. By making use of Simon's separability criterion we show that this state is separable for all times. We consider the equilibrium state of the $A$ oscillator in detail and calculate its Wigner function.

description: How to make the best decision between the opinions and tastes of your friends and acquaintances? Therefore, recommender systems are used to solve such issues. The common algorithms use a similarity measure to predict active users' tastes over a particular item. According to the cold start and data sparsity problems, these systems cannot predict and suggest particular items to users. In this paper, we introduce a new recommender system is able to find user preferences and based on it, provides the recommendations. Our proposed system called CUPCF is a combination of two similarity measures in collaborative filtering to solve the data sparsity problem and poor prediction (high prediction error rate) problems for better recommendation. The experimental results based on MovieLens dataset show that, combined with the preferences of the user's nearest neighbor, the proposed system error rate compared to a number of state-of-the-art recommendation methods improved. Furthermore, the results indicate the efficiency of CUPCF. The maximum improved error rate of the system is 15.5% and the maximum values of Accuracy, Precision and Recall of CUPCF are 0.91402, 0.91436 and 0.9974 respectively.

description: The direct supporting of Zn-arginine complex on magnetic core-shell nanostructures (Fe3O4@MCM-41@Zn-Arg) was reported as a novel, heterogeneous and excellent nanocatalyst, which applied for the oxidation reaction of sulfides to sulfoxides, oxidative coupling of thiols to their corresponding disulfides and the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivatives under mild conditions. The structure of the catalyst was studied by X-Ray diffraction, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry techniques. The simple experimental procedure, very good catalytic activity, low cost, and excellent recycling are the noteworthy features of the currently employed heterogeneous catalytic system.
