description: Genus Erynephala Blake, 1936
Erynephala Blake, 1936: 425
(type species Galeruca maritima LeConte, 1865, by original designation). Sarigueia Bechyné, 1956a: 302
(type species Galerucella subvittata Demay, 1838, by original designation).
Remarks
This genus contains six described species, distributed from Canada to Argentina. The tarsal claws are bifid in males and simple in females. The elytra are covered with short setae, but these are sparse and inconspicuous in some species. Our key enables correct identification, even if the elytra are interpreted to be asetose. See Figs 34 and 151 for a habitus illustration and morphological details. See Groll et al. (2022) for a cladistic analysis and a key to the described species.

description: Voraussetzung für eine stabile Biomethanisierung vieler organisch hochbelasteter 'Rest- und Abfallstoffe ist die Elimtinierung von überschüssigem Ammoniak. Dies wurde bei der Faulung von Dickschlempe durch eine Gasumwälzung, die mit einer Gaswäsche über Säure kombiniert war, erreicht. Auf diese Weise wurde Ammoniak gestrippt urid chemisch gebunden. Gleichzeitig wurde dadurch der Reaktorinha1t schonend umgewälzt.
description: A requirement für a stable bio-methanization of organically ighly loaded residual and refuse matter is the elimination of undesired ammonia. With residues of centrifuged stillage this was attained by gas recycling including gas washing with acid. In this way ammonia was stripped and chemically absorbed. At the same time, the reactor content was moved gently.

description: Η επίδραση της ενσυναίσθησης καθορίζει πολλούς τομείς της προσωπικής, κοινωνικής, εκπαιδευτικής και επαγγελματικής ζωής μας, καθώς συνοδεύεται από την αναγνώριση και κατανόηση των συναισθημάτων των άλλων. Επίσης, οι δυνατότητες επικοινωνίας, που είναι αποτέλεσμα τόσο χαρακτηριστικών της προσωπικότητας, αλλά και της κατάλληλης εκπαίδευσης σε τεχνικές επικοινωνίας, ενισχύουν σημαντικά τη διαμόρφωση ουσιαστικής θεραπευτικής σχέσης, αλλά και στη συμμόρφωση των ασθενών σε μία θεραπεία. Η ανάπτυξη της ενσυναίσθησης, η αντιμετώπιση διάφορων εμποδίων που τίθενται σε μία θεραπευτική σχέση αλλά και το θετικό πρόσημό της στη σχέση θεραπευτή-ασθενή μπορεί να οδηγήσει κάποιες φορές σε ένα θετικό αποτέλεσμα της έκβασης της ασθένειας.

description: Critical hysteresis in the zero-temperature random-field Ising model on a two-dimensional triangular lattice has been studied earlier with site dilution on one sublattice. It was reported that criticality vanishes if less than one third of the sublattice is occupied. This appears at variance with recently obtained exact solutions of the model on dilute Bethe lattices and prompts us to revisit the problem using an alternate numerical method. Contrary to our speculation that criticality may not be exactly zero below one third dilution, the present study indicates it is nearly zero if approximately less than two-thirds of the sublattice is occupied. This suggests that hysteresis on dilute periodic lattices is qualitatively different from that on dilute Bethe lattices. Possible reasons are discussed briefly.

description: Natural scenes are inherently structured, with meaningful objects appearing in predictable locations. Human vision is tuned to this structure: When scene structure is purposefully jumbled, perception is strongly impaired. Here, we tested how such perceptual effects are reflected in neural sensitivity to scene structure. During separate fMRI and EEG experiments, participants passively viewed scenes whose spatial structure (i.e., the position of scene parts) and categorical structure (i.e., the content of scene parts) could be intact or jumbled. Using multivariate decoding, we show that spatial (but not categorical) scene structure profoundly impacts on cortical processing: Scene‐selective responses in occipital and parahippocampal cortices (fMRI) and after 255 ms (EEG) accurately differentiated between spatially intact and jumbled scenes. Importantly, this differentiation was more pronounced for upright than for inverted scenes, indicating genuine sensitivity to spatial structure rather than sensitivity to low‐level attributes. Our findings suggest that visual scene analysis is tightly linked to the spatial structure of our natural environments. This link between cortical processing and scene structure may be crucial for rapidly parsing naturalistic visual inputs.

description: An algorithm for the simulation and evaluation of cyclic voltammetry (CV) at macroporous electrodes such as felts, foams, and layered structures is presented. By considering 1D, 2D, and 3D arrays of electrode sheets, cylindrical microelectrodes, hollow‐cylindrical microelectrodes, and hollowspherical microelectrodes the internal diffusion domains of the macroporous structures are approximated. A universal algorithm providing the timedependent surface concentrations of the electrochemically active species, required for simulating cyclic voltammetry responses of the individual planar, cylindrical, and spherical microelectrodes, is presented as well. An essential ingredient of the algorithm, which is based on Laplace integral transformation techniques, is the use of a modified Talbot contour for the inverse Laplace transformation. It is demonstrated that first‐order homogeneous chemical kinetics preceding and/or following the electrochemical reaction and electrochemically active species with non‐equal diffusion coefficients can be included in all diffusion models as well. The proposed theory is supported by experimental data acquired for a reference reaction, the oxidation of [Fe(CN)6]4− at platinum electrodes as well as for a technically relevant reaction, the oxidation of VO2+ at carbon felt electrodes. Based on our calculation strategy, we provide a powerful open source tool for simulating and evaluating CV data implemented into a Python graphical user interface (GUI).

description: We study by Monte Carlo simulation the compaction dynamics of hard dimers in 2D under the action of gravity, subjected to vertical and horizontal shaking, considering also the case in which a friction force acts for horizontal displacements of the dimers. These forces are modeled by introducing effective probabilities for all kinds of moves of the particles. We analyze the dynamics for different values of the time $τ$ during which the shaking is applied to the system and for different intensities of the forces. It turns out that the density evolution in time follows a stretched exponential behavior if $τ$ is not very large, while a power law tail develops for larger values of $τ$. Moreover, in the absence of friction, a critical value $τ^*$ exists which signals the crossover between two different regimes: for $τ< τ^*$ the asymptotic density scales with a power law of $τ$, while for $τ> τ^*$ it reaches logarithmically a maximal saturation value. Such behavior smears out when a finite friction force is present. In this situation the dynamics is slower and lower asymptotic densities are attained. In particular, for significant friction forces, the final density decreases linearly with the friction coefficient. We also compare the frictionless single tap dynamics to the sequential tapping dynamics, observing in the latter case an inverse logarithmic behavior of the density evolution, as found in the experiments.

Flooding of oxidized waste rock amended with alkaline by-products

description: Leaching of trace elements (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) from oxidized waste rock amended with different alkaline by-products was studied during flooding. It has been argued that water covers for oxidized waste would significantly increase leaching through reductive dissolution of the pre-formed hydrous ferric oxides and the associated trace elements. After approximately three weeks pH in the reference had reached 2.5 and 3.3 in the pore and overlying water, respectively. This can be compared with pH from 6.1 (water works granules) to above 10 (lime kiln dust) in the amended systems. It is clear that the carbonate dominated alkaline by-products have lower pH than the oxide/hydroxide based by-products. However, the systems amended with carbonate based by-products have significantly higher alkalinity. Cadmium, Cu, Pb and Zn concentrations within the waste decreased with at least 99% compared to the reference. In most systems the surface waters can even be used as drinking water. Cadmium, copper and zinc concentrations are clearly related to pH with decreasing concentrations with increasing pH. Lead concentrations, on the other hand, decrease to pH 8, where the concentrations start to increase slightly again due to the formation of soluble Pb(OH)₃⁻ and Pb(OH)₄²⁻ species. The results indicate that flooding of oxidized waste rock amended with alkaline by-products can be used as a successful remediation technique.

description: Trans-planckian frequencies can be mimicked outside a black-hole horizon as a tail of an exponentially large amplitude wave that is mostly hidden behind the horizon. The present proposal requires implementing a final state condition. This condition involves only frequencies below the cutoff scale. It may be interpreted as a condition on the singularity. Despite the introduction of the cutoff, the Hawking radiation is restored for static observers. Freely falling observers see empty space outside the horizon, but are "heated" as they cross the horizon.

Alkoxyallene‐Based LANCA Three‐Component Synthesis of 1,2‐Diketones, Quinoxalines, and Unique Isoindenone Dimers and a Computational Study of the Isoindenone Dimerization

description: A series of β‐alkoxy‐β‐ketoenamides was prepared by the well‐established LANCA three‐component reaction of lithiated 1‐(2‐trimethylsilylethoxy)‐substituted allenes, nitriles, and α,β‐unsaturated carboxylic acids. The α‐tert‐butyl‐substituted compounds were smoothly converted into the expected 1,2‐diketones by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid. A subsequent condensation of the 1,2‐diketones with o‐phenylenediamine provided the desired highly substituted quinoxalines in good overall yield. Surprisingly, the α‐phenyl‐substituted β‐alkoxy‐β‐ketoenamides investigated afford not only the expected 1,2‐diketones, but also pentacyclic compounds with an anti‐tricyclo[4.2.1.12,5]deca‐3,7‐diene‐9,10‐dione core. These interesting products are very likely the result of an isoindenone dimerization which was mechanistically studied with the support of DFT calculations. Under the strongly acidic reaction conditions, a stepwise reaction is likely leading to a protonated isoindenone as reactive intermediate. It may first form a van der Waals complex with a neutral isoindenone before the two regio‐ and diastereoselective ring forming steps occur. Interestingly, two neutral or two protonated isoindenones are also predicted to dimerize giving the observed pentacyclic product.

description: This dissertation examines the United States's elite news media's hegemony in a global media landscape, and how it can come to stand for the entire American nation in the imagination of outsiders. In this transnational, instantaneous digital media arena, what is created for an American audience can fairly easily be accessed, interpreted and relayed to another. How, then, is U.S. international news, which is traditionally ethnocentric and security-focused, absorbed in Afghanistan and Pakistan, two countries where the United States has acute foreign policy interests? This study draws from two bodies of scholarship that are analogous, yet rarely linked together. The first is on hegemony and the U.S. news media's relationship with American society and the government. This includes scholarship on indexing and cascading; agenda building and agenda setting; framing; and reporting during conflict. The second is on the American news media's relationship with the world, and nationalism as a fixed phenomenon in international news. This includes examining the different kinds of press systems that exist globally, and how they interact with each other. Afghanistan and Pakistan's media systems have expanded dramatically since being freed in 2002 and they struggle daily with making sense of the volatility that comes with the U.S.-led Afghanistan war. Through 64 qualitative, in-depth interviews with Afghan, American and Pakistani journalists, this study explores the sociology of news inside Afghanistan and Pakistan and how the American news narrative is received there. There is a widespread, long-standing perception in Afghanistan and Pakistan that American journalists stain the reputation of their nations as failed states. Just as the U.S. exercises global hegemony in a material sense, the U.S. media is powerful in shaping how American and international publics see the world. Yet, while American foreign correspondents are U.S.-centric in their reportage on the Afghan, American and Pakistani entanglement, so too are Afghan journalists Afghan-centric and Pakistani journalists Pakistani-centric. Nationalism is how journalists organize chaos and complexity. While their news stories can represent an entire nation, they are more likely to harden national identities than to broker understanding between nations.

description: A phenomenological description for active bundles of polar filaments is presented. The activity of the bundle results from crosslinks, that induce relative displacements between the aligned filaments. Our generic description is based on momentum conservation within the bundle. By specifying the internal forces, a simple minimal model for the bundle dynamics is obtained, capturing generic dynamic behaviors. In particular, contracted states as well as solitary and oscillatory waves appear through dynamic instabilities. The introduction of filament adhesion leads to self-organized persistent filament transport. Furthermore, calculating the tension, homogeneous bundles are shown to be able to actively contract and to perform work against external forces. Our description is motivated by dynamic phenomena in the cytoskeleton and could apply to stress-fibers and self-organization phenomena during cell-locomotion.

description: In the local universe, black holes of $10^{5-6}$ M$_{\odot}$ are hosted in galaxies displaying a variety of stellar profiles and morphologies. These black holes are the anticipated targets of LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna that will detect the low-frequency gravitational-wave signal emitted by binary black holes in this mass interval. In this paper, we infer upper limits on the lifetime of binary black holes of $10^{5-6}$ M$_{\odot}$ and up to $10^8$ M$_{\odot}$, forming in galaxy mergers, exploring two underlying stellar density profiles, by Dehnen and by Prugniel & Simien, and by exploiting local scaling relations between the mass of the black holes and several quantities of their hosts. We focus on the phase of the dynamical evolution when the binary is transitioning from the hardening phase ruled by the interaction with single stars to the phase driven by the emission of gravitational waves. We find that different stellar profiles predict very distinct trends with binary mass, with lifetimes ranging between fractions of a Gyr to more than 10 Gyr, and with a spread of about one order of magnitude, given by the uncertainties in the observed correlations, which are larger in the low-mass tail of the observed black hole population.

description: Our ordinary concept of perception contains a seeming tension: we distinguish perception from thought on the grounds that it is a direct awareness of mind-independent objects through their effects on our senses; yet we also allow that what we see (hear, feel, etc) is determined by how we interpret or classify the data that comes through our senses. Theorists of perception disagree over which of these intuitions should prevail, with some maintaining that concepts are in play all the way down and others that perceptual awareness is wholly immediate and concrete. But we do not have to choose. This dissertation argues that the patterns of perception sustain a distinctive form of nonconceptual classification, in which property spaces organize sensory matter so as to preserve rather than discard its concreteness and detail. What then is classification without concepts? What sort of abstraction, generality, representation, or form does it entail? And what ramifications then for thinking about the roots of language and reason, and of our awareness of the external world?

description: The present study examines the collaborative behaviors of 35 students of ages ranging from the mid-20s to early 40s (19 male and 16 female) enrolled in an intensive one-week graduate business course as they engaged in a competitive strategic decision-making simulation. Each group represented a firm. Their discourse in small groups of 3-4 was audio-recorded as they made a series of decisions over the course of the week. The central research question is whether the analysis of audio recordings of small group interactions would reveal any cognitive features of the small group collaboration that would be predictive of a group's performance (measured by the final stock price of the group's firm at the end of the simulation). Discourse transcripts were analyzed using a relational and functional coding scheme that classified each utterance expressed during group interaction with respect to its function in relation to the utterance preceding it. Chosen for analysis was both an early and a late session since early tasks, such as establishing shared understandings, may entail different processes and patterns of interaction than later ones, such as reaching joint conclusions. Particular attention is focused on meta-level utterances, defined as those statements that reflect on the activity, rather than constituting a part of the activity itself and addressing the task subject matter. These meta-level statements are further divided into Meta-Self and Meta-Group categories, i.e., those statements that refer only to the self's thinking and those that refer to the group. A hypothesis was that only Meta-Group statements would benefit coordinated action and hence, group performance. The analysis focused on a comparison of the discourse characteristics of the highest and lowest performing groups. Results showed that members of the highest-performing group made significantly more Meta-Group utterances. In contrast, members of the lowest-performing group made more Meta-Self utterances, in proportion to total utterances made by each group. This difference was consistent across time. Examining the full sample of ten small groups, the pattern was similar. Results showed associations with performance outcomes for both of the discourse categories of major interest – most prominently for the frequency of Meta-Group utterances and to a lesser (and inverse) extent for Meta-Self utterances. The possibility is considered that Meta-Group discourse is productive because it represents a form of perspective-taking with respect to the group rather than the individual. Discussion of what the present data suggest about group process is supported by excerpts from individual post-course interviews and selected small-group discussions.

description: Quantum theory sets the bound on the minimal evolution time between initial and final states of the quantum system. This minimal evolution time can be used to specify the maximal speed of the evolution in open and closed quantum systems. Quantum speed limit is one of the interesting issue in the theory of open quantum systems. One may investigate the influence of the relativistic effect on the quantum speed limit time. When several observers are placed in different inertial or non-inertial frames, or in Schwarzschild space-time, the relativistic effect should be taken into account. In this work, the quantum speed limit time in Schwarzschild space-time will be studied for two various model consist of damped Jaynes-Cummings and Ohmic-like dephasing. First, it will be observed that how quantum coherence is affected by Hawking radiation. According to the dependence of quantum speed limit time on quantum coherence and the dependence of quantum coherence on relative distance of quantum system to event horizon $R_{0}$, it will be represented that the quantum speed limit time in Schwarzschild space-time is decreased by increasing $R_{0}$ for damped Jaynes-Cummings model and conversely, It is increased by increasing $R_{0}$ for Ohmic-like dephasing model .

description: Sea Level Anomalies (SLA) are a key parameter of the Earth Climate System. Aside from the societal impact of sea-level rise, measuring SLA allows for the observation of the upper ocean circulation on a large scale (International Altimetry Team, 2021). To do so, we rely on altimetry. With a satellite sending an electromagnetic wave and recording the echo sent back by the surface, also called waveform, most of the ocean SLA field has been monitored over the last 30 years (Cazenave et al., 2014). However, SLA at high latitudes have remained unknown for a long time. This is due to the presence of sea ice, which acts as a physical barrier for altimetry. Recently, two European groups have developed new satellite-based Sea Level Anomaly (SLA) products, offering unprecedented SLA estimates in the seasonally ice-covered Southern Ocean over the past 20 years. These products have the ability to strongly enhance our understanding of the region's circulation and variability, but have not yet been validated. This deliverable presents the first systematic comparison and evaluation of these products against each other and against independent in situ observations. When compared against each other, both products show consistent SLA estimates with a local mean squared error of 1-2 cm and a correlation above 0.7 in ice-covered regions. The overall error compared to in situ observations is 3-6 cm, reflecting typical uncertainty for these satellite-based products.

Veterans--Medical care
History

description: During eight turbulent years in the World War I era, policy makers, soldiers, and veterans laid the groundwork for the extension of government sponsored medical care to millions of former service members. In the process, they built a pillar of the American welfare state. Legislation and rehabilitation plans formulated shortly after the U.S. entered the Great War aimed to minimize the government's long-term obligations to veterans, but within less than a decade, those who had served gained conditional access to their own direct assistance agency and a national system of hospitals. This dissertation explains why that drastic transition occurred, and how one group of citizens won the right to obtain publicly funded health services. The story of wartime health policies has a variety of larger implications. It shows how veterans' welfare shifted from centering on pension and domicile care programs rooted in the nineteenth century to the provision of access to direct medical services; how rehabilitation and citizenship rights were conceived of and perceived at the dusk of the Progressive Era; how race, class, and gender shaped the health-related experiences of soldiers, veterans, and caregivers; how shifting ideals about hospitals and medical care influenced policy; and how interest groups capitalized on the tense political and social climate to bring about change. On a general level, an examination of the roots of a nationwide veterans' hospital system demonstrates how privileges were won in the twentieth century United States. It reveals a moment of state expansion, but it also illustrates the wider tendency of the U.S. government to award entitlements selectively. Given those factors, the policies that paved the way for the advent of a veterans' medical system deserve to be considered - alongside later federal assistance programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid - as foundational in the development and shape of the American welfare state.

description: One of the most significant features of lead-halide perovskites is their ability to have comparably slow recombination despite the fact that these materials are mostly processed from solution at room temperature. The slow recombination allows achieving high open-circuit voltages when the lead-halide perovskite layers are used in solar cells. This perspective discusses the state of the art of our understanding and of experimental data with regard to recombination and open-circuit voltages in lead-halide perovskites. A special focus is put onto open questions that the community has to tackle to design future photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices based on lead-halide perovskites and other semiconductors with similar properties.This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Energy materials for a low carbon future’.

description: We examine a dilute two-component atomic Fermi gas trapped in a harmonic potential in the superfluid phase. For experimentally realistic parameters, the trapping potential is shown to have crucial influence on various properties of the gas. Using an effective hamiltonian, analytical results for the critical temperature, the temperature dependence of the superfluid gap, and the energy of the lowest collective modes are derived. These results are shown to agree well with numerical calculations. We furthermore discuss in more detail a previous proposed method to experimentally observe the superfluid transition by looking at the collective mode spectrum. Our results are aimed at the present experimental effort to observe a superfluid phase transition in a trapped atomic Fermi gas.

Multi-Higgs-Doublet Models and Singular Alignment

description: We consider a 4-Higgs-doublet model in which each Higgs doublet gives mass to one of the fermion sets $\{ m_t\}$, $\{ m_b,m_τ,m_c \}$, $\{ m_μ,m_s \}$, and $\{ m_d,m_u,m_e \}$. The sets have the feature that within each of them the masses are similar. Our model explains the mass hierarchies of the sets by hierarchies of the vacuum expectation values of the Higgs doublets associated to them. All Yukawa couplings are therefore of order one. Neutrino masses are generated by a type-I seesaw mechanism with PeV-scale singlet neutrinos. To avoid the appearance of tree-level flavor changing neutral currents, we assume that all Yukawa matrices are singularly aligned in flavor space. We mean by this that the Yukawa matrices are given as linear combinations of the rank $1$ matrices that appear in the singular value decomposition of the mass matrix. In general, singular alignment allows to avoid flavor changing neutral currents in models with multiple Higgs doublets.

description: We analyze several aspects of the recently noted neutron star collapse instability in close binary systems. We utilize (3+1) dimensional and spherical numerical general relativistic hydrodynamics to study the origin, evolution, and parametric sensitivity of this instability. We derive the modified conditions of hydrostatic equilibrium for the stars in the curved space of quasi-static orbits. We examine the sensitivity of the instability to the neutron star mass and equation of state. We also estimate limits to the possible interior heating and associated neutrino luminosity which could be generated as the stars gradually compress prior to collapse. We show that the radiative loss in neutrinos from this heating could exceed the power radiated in gravity waves for several hours prior to collapse. The possibility that the radiation neutrinos could produce gamma-ray (or other electromagnetic) burst phenomena is also discussed.

description: It is well-known that the Einstein-Rosen solutions to the 3+1 dimensional vacuum Einstein's equations are in one to one correspondence with solutions of 2+1 dimensional general relativity coupled to axi-symmetric, zero rest mass scalar fields. We first re-examine the quanization of this midi-superspace paying special attention to the asymptotically flat boundary conditions and to certain functional analytic subtleties associated with regularization. We then use the resulting quantum theory to analyze several conceptual and technical issues of quantum gravity.

description: Mine tailings were deposited in Two Mile Creek from mining operations in the 1910s and 1920s. Preliminary investigations in 2006 found elevated metals concentrations in tailings, sediment and surface water. Two Mile Creek was observed flowing over areas of exposed tailings, eroding them into the creek. The creek is a source of drinking water for local communities and is designated as a community watershed. Although no exceedances of dissolved metals were identified, management of downstream ecological and human health risks associated with the tailings was necessary. Tailings were removed from the floodplain and placed into an upland quarry and covered with an engineered cover. Project challenges included ensuring there were no negative impacts on water quality during and after construction. A temporary drinking water by-pass pipe to the downstream water treatment plant and a temporary ditch to divert Two Mile Creek were used during construction. A higher-than-expected volume of tailings required design modifications during construction. Reclamation also involved re-channelling Two Mile Creek and the installation of a new culvert under Nine Mile Mountain Road. Water quality monitoring is ongoing.

description: We discuss general relativistic effects in the steady-state neutrino-driven ``wind'' which may arise from nascent neutron stars. In particular, we generalize previous analytic estimates of the entropy per baryon $S$, the mass outflow rate $\dot M$, and the dynamical expansion time scale $τ_{dyn}$. We show that $S$ increases and $τ_{dyn}$ decreases with increasing values of the mass-to-radius ratio describing the supernova core. Both of these trends indicate that a more compact core will lead to a higher number of neutrons per iron peak seed nucleus. Such an enhancement in the neutron-to-seed ratio may be required for successful r-process nucleosynthesis in neutrino-heated supernova ejecta.
