Anacroneuria terere

description: Anacroneuria terere sp. n.
(Figs. 7–12)
 Description. General colour yellowish-brown. Area between ocelli light brown, expanding anteriorly into a T-shaped bar, rest of head lighter (Fig. 7). Clypeal area light brown laterally and frons lighter. Antennae light brown, palpi yellowish. Pronotum square shaped, anterior corners angular, posterior corners rounded, light brown with yellowish median stripe and light, lateral areas, rugosities darker. Legs light brown, tibiae and tarsi darker. Wings yellowish hyaline, veins light, region between C and R veins opaque.
Male. Forewing length, 11.2 mm. Penial armature (Figs. 10–12) narrowing slowly to end piece. Hooks basally with a distinct hump, rest smoothly curved with pointed tips. In lateral view, dorsal keel absent, oblong penial apex bends dorsally. Distal ventral vesicles absent.
Female. Forewing length, 14.6–15.5 mm, n=16. Subgenital plate four-lobed (Fig. 8), lateral notches shallow, median one distinctly deeper. St9 with distal margin sinuous and sclerotized, field of hairs V–shaped, longer hairs near margin. Egg oval (Fig. 9) and dark brown, 0.37 x 0.20 mm; egg batch cord shaped.
 Remarks. The penial armature is similar to that of A. saltensis (Froehlich, 2002), but the dorsal keel is absent in A. terere. The apical portion of the penial armature is similar to that of A. caraja Froehlich, 2002, but in this species the shoulders are not conspicuous. In addition, A. terere differs from both species in color pattern; A. caraja is a pale, whitish color whereas A. saltensis is yellowish.
 Etymology. Tereré, from the Guarani language, is a typical cold beverage, made with “erva-mate” (Ilex paraguariensis) and widely consumed in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay. First invented by the Guaraní natives who lived in Paraguay and western Brazil (Mato Grosso do Sul), tereré was spread by the dwellers of that region, and for centuries has been a social beverage. It is a noun in apposition.

description: The fundamental ground tone vibration of H2, HD, and D2 is determined to an accuracy of 2 x 10^-4 cm^-1 from Doppler-free laser spectroscopy in the collisionless environment of a molecular beam. This rotationless vibrational splitting is derived from the combination difference between electronic excitation from the X^1Sg+, v=0 and v=1 levels to a common EF^1g+, v=0 level. Agreement within $1σ$ between the experimental result and a full ab initio calculation provides a stringent test of quantum electrodynamics in a chemically-bound system.

description: Elliptic Calabi-Yau fibrations with Mordell-Weil group of rank two are constructed. Such geometries are the basis for F-theory compactifications with two abelian gauge groups in addition to non-abelian gauge symmetry. We present the elliptic fibre both as a Bl^2P^2[3]-fibration and in the birationally equivalent Weierstrass form. The spectrum of charged singlets and their Yukawa interactions are worked out in generality. This framework can be combined with the toric construction of tops to implement additional non-abelian gauge groups. We utilise the classification of tops to construct SU(5) x U(1) x U(1) gauge symmetries systematically and study the resulting geometries, presenting the defining equations, the matter curves and their charges, the Yukawa couplings and explaining the process in detail for an example. Brane recombination relates these geometries to a Bl^1P^2[3]-fibration with a corresponding class of SU(5) x U(1) models. We also present the SU(5) tops based on the elliptic fibre Bl^1P_[1,1,2][4], corresponding to another class of SU(5) x U(1) models.

Balancing Act: US Financial Diplomacy towards China’s Current Account Surplus, 2009-2013

description: The 2008 global financial crisis, the worst since the Great Depression, was viewed by the United States’ government as partially a consequence of China’s undervalued renminbi and export-reliant economic model. Despite intensive American engagement, these Chinese policy choices bred a current account surplus and ballooning global imbalances. While regulatory missteps most directly spawned the crisis, imbalances were seen as inflating the bubble. After the crisis, US policymakers prioritized addressing China’s surplus via financial diplomacy. This thesis analyzes how and why US policymakers engaged with China, and to what degree this diplomacy was effective. It builds a detailed diplomatic history of the 2009-2013 period, coinciding with the first term of the Obama administration and main period of post-crisis diplomacy. This history is derived from speeches, communiques, and other official communications from the bilateral Strategic & Economic Dialogues and multilateral G20 summits, as well as other public Treasury Department statements, Chinese government documents, and media reports. The official history is supplemented with interviews with key US policymakers. Based on this data, I draw three main conclusions. First, US diplomats were sensitive to China’s internal politics. By building on the arguments of Chinese groups aligned with US aims, negotiators leveraged China’s ‘two-level game.’ In essence, American pressure was used by Chinese technocrats as leverage in domestic battles over reform. Additionally, US officials kept many elements of diplomacy private to ensure China’s leaders could save face by claiming reform was based on self-interest, not external pressure. Second, the US used the G20 to legitimize and broaden the rebalancing agenda while building multilateral pressure on China, though it could not construct a sustained coalition due to European unwillingness to pressure China. Third, while substantive reform arguments were most important, US negotiators used bilateral concessions as leverage, while also pursuing China-favorable reforms at the IMF to build trust. These bargaining chips were strengthened by the threat of Congressional protectionism. Overall, my thesis suggests that Chinese interests, not American pressure, drove most key reforms. However, strategic US engagement played an important role in facilitating change within China, providing a model for future financial diplomacy.

description: Net neutrality is the principle that Internet providers should treat all data as equal. In 2017, Ajit Pai was appointed as the chairman of the FCC, marking an enormous public debate on the merits of net neutrality in the United States. In December of 2017, the FCC voted to reverse Title II regulations with the new rules being in full effect by June 2018. This vote repealed net neutrality rules established in 2014 and has not been reinstated on a federal level to this day. In this project, I will be analyzing the competitive effects of repealing net neutrality under different competitive circumstances by comparing price and data changes during the periods prior to and following the repeal of net neutrality in 2018 and after the implementation of net neutrality in 2015. By using Form 477 from the FCC and business filings, I will be doing an event study to find significant changes in reaction to the policy. Areas with different amounts of competing ISPs are expected to have different reactions to net neutrality’s repeal. This would also have greater implications for competition in Internet markets and the need for regulation
Crystal Shape-Dependent Magnetic Susceptibility and Curie Law Crossover in the Spin Ices Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7

description: We present an experimental determination of the isothermal magnetic susceptibility of the spin ice materials Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 in the temperature range 1.8-300 K. The use of spherical crystals has allowed the accurate correction for demagnetizing fields and allowed the true bulk isothermal susceptibility X_T(T) to be estimated. This has been compared to a theoretical expression based on a Husimi tree approximation to the spin ice model. Agreement between experiment and theory is excellent at T > 10 K, but systematic deviations occur below that temperature. Our results largely resolve an apparent disagreement between neutron scattering and bulk measurements that has been previously noted. They also show that the use of non-spherical crystals in magnetization studies of spin ice may introduce very significant systematic errors, although we note some interesting - and possibly new - systematics concerning the demagnetizing factor in cuboidal samples. Finally, our results show how experimental susceptibility measurements on spin ices may be used to extract the characteristic energy scale of the system and the corresponding chemical potential for emergent magnetic monopoles.

description: David Foster Wallace’s 1996 novel Infinite Jest presents a version of postmodern myth that is mediated through film, television, and other commercial entertainments. This media landscape is hostile, grotesque, and self-referencing. Its recursivity corrupts the chain of narrativization that transforms reality into history into myth. In the novel, the newly formed Organization of North American Nations coopts the preexisting culture industry in order to create a new, updated mythos and identity in service of its nationhood. The myths that it manages to produce are bizarre, non-linear, and illegible. This myth-making machine, using (fictional) history as its source material, seems unable to make meaningful or unifying narratives about the North American people of Infinite Jest. This is because the nascent government coopts the culture industry as the medium for myth, which leads the North American people to understand the culture industry itself to be their new mythic inheritance. This situation resembles Francis Fukuyama’s proposed End of History. An important characteristic of post-History is the loss of art. Individuals in this post-Historical position are at risk of losing the ability to describe their historical context or understand their identity as one among a collective of people. I argue that this landscape can be described through abjection, as defined by Julia Kristeva and elaborated by N. Katherine Hayles. I additionally use Roland Barthes’ definition of myth, Marshall McLuhan’s definition of media, Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer’s critique of the culture industry, and Mikhail Bakhtin’s formalist method to aid my analysis of mythic entertainments that appear in the novel, which I term intratexts.

description: "Allegations" charts how accused female characters across a number of early modern texts convene and organize relations among the English legal system, the emerging realm of popular print, and the proto-public sphere. Because these systems in their existing state largely fail to serve the women accused, the women instead refashion these established channels and summon their own assemblies in hopes of vindicating themselves. This assembled court of public opinion thus has the opportunity to override and modify the initial judgements that the existing channels of power hand down. The printed realm and the popular engagement it facilitates come to offer a counterweight to traditional arrangements, and the accused who reimagine the legal sphere through print lead the way towards more participatory elements in literature.

description: The increase of the CEO pay ratio has been a concerning development. This increase has occurred during a period of industrial transformation, decreasing business dynamism, and growing market and employment concentration. The number of public firms is decreasing, but those at the top are increasing in size and represent a growing proportion of GDP. These changes are intrinsically linked to a rise in corporate power. Using a large panel dataset of US firms between 1992 and 2020, this study finds that these trends play a significant role in the growth of the CEO pay ratio. Specifically, the number of publicly listed firms is negatively linked with the CEO pay ratio, the firm’s employment share of its industry’s workforce is positively linked, and being among the largest firms by number of employees is positively linked. The impact of the latter on the CEO pay ratio has been increasing over time. While not every factor behind these trends is identified in this study, it offers insights into the potential determinants and the role of the CEO pay ratio as a driver of income inequality in the context of increased corporate power.

On the correction of anomalous phase oscillation in entanglement witnesses using quantum neural networks

description: Entanglement of a quantum system depends upon relative phase in complicated ways, which no single measurement can reflect. Because of this, entanglement witnesses are necessarily limited in applicability and/or utility. We propose here a solution to the problem using quantum neural networks. A quantum system contains the information of its entanglement; thus, if we are clever, we can extract that information efficiently. As proof of concept, we show how this can be done for the case of pure states of a two-qubit system, using an entanglement indicator corrected for the anomalous phase oscillation. Both the entanglement indicator and the phase correction are calculated by the quantum system itself acting as a neural network.

description: This case study aims to understand the changes related to the use of technology in learning at a Rwandan public medical school during the COVID-19 pandemic and how students experienced those changes. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six medical students and supplemented by analyzing school communication documents and forums such as school websites, social media platforms, and local newspapers. Using Bento’s et al. (2021) theory of socioecological resilience, as well as the theory of the digital divide, this study conceptualized a theoretical model for EdTech use during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the findings, the University generally, and the medical school department specifically, attempted to provide pedagogy and infrastructural support to students by shifting their curriculum from “teaching to learning” and expanding virtual resources. However, there were discrepancies between school policies and students’ lived experiences of the learning changes. Students experienced significant access issues, particularly for the examination process, and quality  issues related to social learning and medical practicalities. Student characteristics, such as year in school, and digital divide factors, such as rurality and past high school exposure, also created unequal learning experiences. Nevertheless, many benefits to the change were also highlighted, including greater individual digital exposure and global academic access. Notably, students’ behavioral resilience stood out as key to their adaptation. With these insights, I make recommendations to support the continued use of EdTech at the medical school, taking into consideration the students’ socioeconomic backgrounds while tackling access and quality barriers.

Very Low Energy Supernovae from Neutrino Mass Loss

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The continuing difficulty of achieving a reliable explosion in simulations of core-collapse supernovae, especially for more massive stars, has led to speculation concerning the observable transients that might be produced if such a supernova fails. Even if a prompt outgoing shock fails to form in a collapsing presupernova star, one must still consider the hydrodynamic response of the star to the abrupt loss of mass via neutrinos as the core forms a protoneutron star. Following a suggestion by Nadezhin (1980), we calculate the hydrodynamical responses of typical supernova progenitor stars to the rapid loss of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 M_sun of gravitational mass from their centers. In a red supergiant star, a very weak supernova with total kinetic energy ~ 10^47 erg results. The binding energy of a large fraction of the hydrogen envelope before the explosion is of the same order and, depending upon assumptions regarding the neutrino loss rates, most of it is ejected. Ejection speeds are ~ 100 km/s and luminosities ~ 10^39 erg/s are maintained for about a year. A significant part of the energy comes from the recombination of hydrogen. The color of the explosion is extremely red and the events bear some similarity to "luminous red novae," but have much lower speeds.

description: Transmission properties of one-dimensional lossy photonic crystals composed of negative and positive refractive index layers with one lossless defect layer at the center of the crystal are investigated by the characteristic matrix method. The results show that as the refractive index and thickness of the defect layer increase the frequency of the defect mode decreases. In addition, it is shown that the frequency of the defect mode is sensitive to the incidence angle, polarization and physical properties of the defect layer but it is insensitive to the small lattice loss factor. The height of the defect mode is very sensitive to the loss factor, incidence angle, polarization, refractive index and thickness of the defect layer. It was also shown that the height and the width of the defect mode are affected by the number of the lattice period and the loss factor. The results can lead to designing new types of narrow filter structures and other optical devices.

description: Bullying has increasingly become recognized as a serious social issue that impacts youth well-being. It has been linked with PTSD and is shown to be a significant risk indicator for suicide attempt. As a result, many state legislatures have addressed this issue through some form of anti-bullying legislation. However, there is wide variability in terms of the types and strength of anti-bullying provisions that are included in each state’s statutes. This study analyzes state statutes for the presence and strength of various anti-bullying legal provisions. It then examines associations between these provisions and the probability of a high school student being bullied, cyberbullied, and missing school due to safety concerns. The study provides a snapshot of the landscape of state anti-bullying laws as of September 2018, as well as some evidence regarding the types of legal provisions that appear most effective in terms of protecting students from bullying and other detrimental outcomes. This study finds that a protective definition of bullying, inclusion of all types of bullying, staff reporting requirements, counseling requirements, prohibitions on retaliation, publicly available data, and training for school staff are significantly associated both with a decreased probability of a student being bullied as well as cyberbullied.

description: The quality and safety of poultry products for consumers is one of the main
indicators. The concept of «quality of food» includes indicators of usefulness (nutritional and biological value), good quality and harmlessness. The biological value
of the product is determined by the quality of protein components, their amino acid
composition and expressed by the degree of nitrogen retention of food in the body
of growing animals [1]. This article presents materials on the study of the effect of
Abiopeptid and Ferropeptid protein hydrolysates on the amino acid composition of
meat, the content of macro- and microelements in it, the relative biological value
of meat, and also on safety indicators
description: Качество и безопасность продукции птицеводства для потребителя является одним из основных показателей. В понятие «качество продуктов питания» включены показатели полноценности (пищевая и биологическая ценность), доброкачественности и безвредности. Биологическая ценность продукта определяется качеством белковых компонентов, их аминокислотным составом и выражается степенью задержки азота пищи в организме растущих животных [1]. В данной статье представлены материалы по изучению влияния белковых гидролизатов Абиопептид и Ферропептид на аминокислотный состав мяса, содержание в нем макро- и микроэлементов, относительную биологическую ценность мяса, а также на показатели безопасности.
Data-driven energy efficiency and flexibility in commercial buildings
Creators: name: McMahon, Caitlin
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository

Subjects: demand response, energy efficiency, buildings

description: Commercial buildings offer significant potential to reduce cooling load by raising zone temperature setpoints. This is useful for demand response, avoiding blackouts during heat waves, and during normal operations to reduce costs, water usage, and emissions. We performed experiments in seven commercial buildings on the Stanford University campus. We found that buildings responded differently to temperature setpoint adjustments with load reductions ranging from 4 to 29 percent. This work explores the drivers for response heterogeneity by analyzing equipment-level behavior. Distributed sensor data throughout the buildings is used to diagnose the behavior of Air Handling Units, Variable Air Volume systems and Fan Coil Units. The main driver for load reduction was changes in chilled water valve positions, which differs from previous experiments reported on in literature. One possible explanation is that the HVAC equipment in these buildings implement the most recent ASHRAE standards of supply air temperature (SAT) reset through logic called Trim-and-Respond. This finding suggests that new building control sequences could alter conclusions from previous DR field experiments. It is also found that the interaction of ventilation and cooling requirements can impact operational energy efficiency, sometimes causing over-cooling of certain zones. Over-cooling is quantified in terms of temperature difference and the cooling load that is wasted by keeping zone temperatures below the cooling setpoint. We also find that dominant zones with high cooling requirements play an important role in determining building flexibility. Dominant zones included in experiments can drive large load reductions observed from setpoint changes. If the zone is excluded, the building will not be responsive to setpoint changes. High flexibility is seen from buildings without ventilation constraints and buildings with dominant zones included in experiments. This is true even if the building has high levels of wasted cooling. In this case, the building is inefficient but has high flexibility. Buildings with ventilation constraints or dominant zones excluded from experiments are less dependable flexibility resources.
Assessing Compound Flood Risk for the San Francisco Bay Area, California

description: As climate change causes sea levels to rise, increases precipitation variability, and leads to larger, more frequent storms, communities are faced with ever increasing risks from flooding. Communities require reliable assessment of the compound risk they face now and how that risk changes in the future to decide how to mitigate their flood risk. Many of the San Francisco Bay Area’s planning around climate hazard mitigation efforts focus on the threat faced by sea level rise. However, coastal, riverine, and pluvial (surface runoff) flooding can happen concurrently leading to a compound hazard that is rarely taken into account. The goal of this study is to integrate the effects of coastal, riverine, and pluvial hazards by using preexisting hazard models to develop a map of the compound flood hazard for San Mateo County California. Our research expands upon San Mateo County’s previous work combining coastal and pluvial flooding through Cal Adapt using 2-D Hydrologic Engineering Center- River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) models that project flood hazard data into the future for 2030 and 2070 using changes in predicted precipitation data and sea level rise. We found that compared to flood maps from FEMA and the USGS the added effects of fresh water to the coastal flooding and sea-level rise increased the inundation depth and extent along the coast by up to 7 feet by 2070. Further inland, the 2030 storm scenarios were deeper, but in some areas were less extensive while the 2070 storm scenarios had more extensive and deeper flood inundation in some areas by up to 2 feet. This highlights the importance of compound hazard in assessing flood risk as some risks would otherwise not be accounted for.
Shock Waves in Weakly Compressed Granular Media

description: We experimentally probe nonlinear wave propagation in weakly compressed granular media, and observe a crossover from quasi-linear sound waves at low impact, to shock waves at high impact. We show that this crossover grows with the confining pressure $P_0$, whereas the shock wave speed is independent of $P_0$ --- two hallmarks of granular shocks predicted recently. The shocks exhibit powerlaw attenuation, which we model with a logarithmic law implying that local dissipation is weak. We show that elastic and potential energy balance in the leading part of the shocks.

description: We calculate an analytical expression for the terrace-width distribution $P(s)$ for an interacting step system with nearest and next nearest neighbor interactions. Our model is derived by mapping the step system onto a statistically equivalent 1D system of classical particles. The validity of the model is tested with several numerical simulations and experimental results. We explore the effect of the range of interactions $q$ on the functional form of the terrace-width distribution and pair correlation functions. For physically plausible interactions, we find modest changes when next-nearest neighbor interactions are included and generally negligible changes when more distant interactions are allowed. We discuss methods for extracting from simulated experimental data the characteristic scale-setting terms in assumed potential forms.

description: In this deliverable, the ignition and combustion characteristics of FPBO are determined. A combustion research unit system, which is mainly composed of a constant volume combustion chamber, is used to provide the well-controlled initial ambient conditions and fuel injection parameters. Based on the combustion chamber pressure trace, the heat release rate and mass fraction burned results are calculated with several careful corrections, and the indicators used to evaluate fuel ignition and combustion characteristics are defined. For engine application purposes, the effects of fuel upgrade (addition of alcohol or ignition improver) and various biomass origins (wood, sawmill residue, sunflower husks, and miscanthus) are investigated. The influences of initial chamber pressure and injection pressure are also studied. The results show that compared to ethanol, the addition of 30% of n-butanol could significantly improve the ignition and combustion processes of FPBO. However, the gain of Beraid addition is very limited. Higher initial chamber pressure boosts the fuel combustion reaction, while the change of injection pressure has marginal influence. Regarding the different biomass origins, FPBO from wood and miscanthus has higher chemical reactivity than that from sawmill residue and sunflower husks.
Two languages, Many Stages: Bartolomé de Alva’s Nahuatl Theatrics in Seventeenth Century Nueva España

subject: New Spain

description: In the seventeenth century in Nueva España, Bartolomé de Alva, a multilingual Jesuit priest of Spanish and noble Texcoco descent, produced three works: a Spanish-Nahuatl guide to Confession, three translations of Spanish Golden Age plays into Nahuatl, and an introduction to Horacio Carochi’s Nahuatl grammar and dictionary. Throughout all three of these works, despite their differing genres, I identify theatricality. In the Confessionario I see this in the script and stage directions Alva gives to the characters he constructs. Theatricality is intentionally avoided in Alva’s Nahuatl translation of meta-theater in Pedro Calderón de la Barca’s original “El gran teatro del mundo.” Lastly, the liberties that Alva takes with the introduction to the dictionary defy the bureaucratic genre and replace it with his own personal monologue. In each of these objects, Alva uses or avoids theatricality alongside Nahuatl to mediate and soften differences between the Nahua life and the colonial vision of Christian conversion and assimilation. Yet, use of these languages is based in the faulty notion that Spanish and Nahuatl provide two sets of words that can be exchanged and still inform the same worlds. Ultimately, these three translation projects reveal the Nahuatl language’s incongruity with the goals of Alva’s religious and epistemic colonization, which only exist in his theater.

Targeting TYMS as a Therapeutic Strategy for Aggressive Prostate Cancers

description: In the modern-day United States, prostate cancer (PC) remains the most common non-skin cancer in men. While the 5-year survival for localized prostate cancer is greater than 99%, patients with aggressive, metastatic prostate cancer subtypes experience worse prognostics and a 5-year survival of only 31%. This suggests that aggressive, metastatic prostate cancer subtypes are responsible for the majority of prostate cancer-driven deaths and underscores the need to develop novel therapies for these aggressive PCs. The DNA replication and repair pathway is a common target in cancer therapies since DNA de-regulation is a well-identified cancer hallmark. Thymidylate synthase (TYMS), an enzyme that is an important component of DNA synthesis, replication, and repair due to its synthesis of thymidylate, has been identified as a potential therapeutic target for aggressive PCs since TYMS is highly expressed in invasive PC subtypes and exert anti-cancer activities in vitro and in vivo. Our result indicates a positive association between TYMS expression and PC progression since TYMS is elevated in metastatic patient tumors relative to benign and localized samples, and TYMS is also up-regulated in AR-independent castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) relative to localized and normal prostate tissues in patient tissue microarray (TMA). Results from in vitro cell viability and colony formation assays also indicate that TYMS inhibition exerts anti-cancer activities in the reduction of PC cell viability, colony-forming ability, and tumor growth. Thus, we propose TYMS as a novel therapeutic target against metastatic, invasive PC subtypes.
