Aplectoides condita

description: 11. Aplectoides condita (Guenée)
(Figs. 44–45, Map 29)
 Identification: Forewing length 17.0–20.0 mm. Forewing ground color is brown to dark gray. Orbicular and reniform spots are concolorous with ground color, mixed with white in some specimens, and are partially outlined in black. This species can be distinguished from A. pressus (Grote) by the lack of longitudinal yellow streaks and by the presence of a short black basal dash below the M vein in the forewing of A. condita. Hindwing dirty white with a faint discal cell and obscure pale gray shading near the outer margin.
 Flight period: Collected from end of May to July.
 Collected localities: North Carolina: Haywood Co., Purchase Knob at house; Swain Co., 1 mi N of Clingman’s Dome, 3 mi N of Clingman’s Dome, 5 mi N of Clingman’s Dome, 13.5 mi NE of entrance to GSMNP on Thomas Divide Trail. Tennessee: Blount Co., 0.2 mi NE of Parson’s Bald on Wolf Ridge Trail; Sevier Co., Brushy Mountain ATBI Plot, Chimney Tops Trail, ca. 7 mi S Sugarlands Visitor Center. (11 specimens)
 MAP 29. Collecting localities of Aplectoides condita.
 Elevation range: 3480–5960 ft. (1061–1817 m)
 General distribution: This is a widely distributed boreal zone species that occurs across central and southern Canada from Newfoundland to British Columbia. In the East it occurs as far south as northern New Jersey and northern Pennsylvania, and west to Michigan and Wisconsin; it is found along the Appalachians in Virginia and North Carolina. In the West it occurs in Idaho and Oregon (Lafontaine 1998). The collections from GSMNP are new records for the state of Tennessee.
 Larval hosts: McCabe (1988) reared larvae on tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch, Pinaceae), which seemed to be the preferred host, but larvae also accepted balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) P. Mill., Pinaceae).

We prove that there exists a side, U^- or U^+, such that every continuous CR function on M extends holomorphically to this side. Our proof of this theorem is a simplification of a result originally due to F. Sarkis.

description: Ladder spleenwort Asplenium adulterinum Milde (Aspleniaceae) is the rare fern, since long time believed to be one of species which determine distinctive character of Lower Silesian flora (e.g. Pax 1915, Szafer 1972). A. adulterinum was considered as a European endemic species (Reichstein 1984) but it has been found also on the Vancouver Island at the west coast of Canada Käsermann (1999), Klinkenberg (2008). Its European sites are concentrated in the Alpine area and in the Middle European mountain ranges of the Hercynian orogeny. The species range comprises also isolated sites scattered through the Fennoscandia as well as on the Balkan Peninsula (Jalas and Suominen 1972). The species is almost strictly related to serpentine rocks and only exceptionally occurs on the other substrata. Lower Silesia is the only region in Poland with the serpentine outcrops and therefore is also only area of A. adulterinum occurrence in the country. The species is regarded as seriously threatened with the IUCN category from EN – endangered (Żołnierz 2001; Fabiszewski, Kwiatkowski 2002) to CR – critically endangered (Świerkosz, Szczęśniak 2003). The category CR is also attributed to A. adulterinum in Czech Republic and Slovakia (Čeřovský, Klaudisová 1999). Ladder spleenwort was included in the list of species, which has been proposed by Poland to expand the appendix II of the Habitat Directive (92/43/EEC Directive) as Species of Community Interest whose conservation requires the designation of Special Areas of Conservation. It also listed in Annex IV between plans species need of strict protection in all European Union country. From this reason in Poland law Asplenium adulterinum is listed as species which not only need protection, but also establishing of special protection zone around the each locality is necessary.

description: Voice over is a piece of narration (spoken material), in a film, broadcast etc. without accompanying the image of the speaker. This is spoken by a specialist voice talent, who narrates the action that takes place on the screen at the same time. It is usually pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film, video and is generally used in documentaries or news reports to explain the information. It may also read live for events like award presentations, music concerts etc. Mostly voice over Services are used in video games, hold on messages, announcements and tourist destinations. While the quality of a video must be spot on, the audio should also be equally important to deliver the message and capture the attention of your audience. There are more reasons to add voice over to a video, and some of the benefits are: Adds life to the script: It is proven that voice over can make a boring content more interesting. A great voice over helps in expanding your business above your competition. Narrates the story effectively: professional voice over service helps in narrating the story well in a way that keeps your audience engaging and understandable. It makes the content more presentable by expression, emotions, accents. Essential for a video - Voice over is always necessary for a video, without background narration, the video looks cloudy and the content won’t reach to the audience. From this, we understand that voice over has a number of benefits for a video; so it is crucial to choose the right voice over provider. Here are some reasons why choosing a professional is an important strategy to benefit you apart from the competition. It’s all about the tone: Adding a right tone, pauses are important for a video to keep engaged. It can be provided only by a professional voiceover artist. If a voice over that added is uninteresting, boring and lacks tone. This tends boring for your audience too and switch off your video. Your audience will feel like they have been identified: If you want your narrated video to be powerful in every way, it is important to select the right voice over talent. When you understand who your audience is, then choose the right voice over to reach them. A professional can influence your audience to take action: Many brands create a video with the goal of driving viewers to their customers. This can be achieved by selecting right voice over, who can guide them in the right direction.

description: We study the emergence of a parity breaking coherent photonic state of a photon mode coupled to finite array of two-level systems, represented by pseudospins 1/2. The pseudospin-photon interaction is realised via a shift of the photonic oscillator equilibrium position by an amount linear in Cartesian component of the total pseudospin. We demonstrate analytically, that the instability is manifested in an upturn from concave to convex of the ground state energy dependence on the total pseudospin component coupled to the photons. The perturbation, sufficient for parity breaking, tends to zero in the ultrastrong limit of light-matter coupling. We present phase diagram of finite pseudospin-photon system, that demonstrates this feature. Evolution of Husimi Q-functions of the pseudospin and photon subsystems, and of the pseudospin entropy, along different trajectories across the phase diagram is presented.

description: Welcome to Cloudbank; an oligopoly metropolis governed by monetary exchange, investment and the intrinsic value of things, people, and architecture. As you wake, eat, work, bathe, consume entertainment, sleep and repeat, you feel content in the routine that plays out every day, week, and year. Every day is the same and every architecture is the same; repetitions of developments within the same block, rectangular buildings in rectangular organisations. Surely there is more to it? More to living as a value amongst other values.. more to the architecture that has been consumed by the profit that can be extracted from it or saved. This thesis seeks to explore the ways in which architecture has been subjected to and used as a tool of investment in generating capital, that in its effect has shown to instigate several social and economic conflicts of individuality, exclusivity, alienation, corporate greed and consumption.

description: This paper describes an implementation of the L-BFGS method designed to deal with two adversarial situations. The first occurs in distributed computing environments where some of the computational nodes devoted to the evaluation of the function and gradient are unable to return results on time. A similar challenge occurs in a multi-batch approach in which the data points used to compute function and gradients are purposely changed at each iteration to accelerate the learning process. Difficulties arise because L-BFGS employs gradient differences to update the Hessian approximations, and when these gradients are computed using different data points the updating process can be unstable. This paper shows how to perform stable quasi-Newton updating in the multi-batch setting, studies the convergence properties for both convex and non-convex functions, and illustrates the behaviour of the algorithm in a distributed computing platform on binary classification logistic regression and neural network training problems that arise in machine learning.

description: The ubiquity of recently discovered low-amplitude decayless kink oscillations of plasma loops allows for the seismological probing of the corona on a regular basis. In particular, in contrast to traditionally applied seismology which is based on the large-amplitude decaying kink oscillations excited by flares and eruptions, decayless oscillations can potentially provide the diagnostics necessary for their forecasting. We analysed decayless kink oscillations in several distinct loops belonging to active region NOAA 12107 on 10 July 2010 during its quiet time period, when it was observed on the West limb in EUV by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on-board Solar Dynamics Observatory. The oscillation periods were estimated with the use of the motion magnification technique. The lengths of the oscillating loops were determined within the assumption of its semicircular shape by measuring the position of their foot-points. The density contrast in the loops was estimated from the observed intensity contrast accounting for the unknown spatial scale of the background plasma. The combination of those measurements allows us to determine the distribution of kink and Alfvén speeds in the active region. Thus, we demonstrate the possibility to obtain seismological information about coronal active regions during the quiet periods of time.

description: Background: Periprocedural uninterrupted anticoagulation for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) became standard after positive results of vitamin K antagonist (VKA) trials. Previous studies of uninterrupted direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) vs. VKA have given controversial results. We thus aimed to elucidate the risk/benefit ratio of uninterrupted DOAC vs. VKA during catheter ablation of AF in an updated meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: Online databases were searched for RCTs comparing uninterrupted DOAC to VKA in patients undergoing catheter ablation of AF. Data from retrieved studies were analysed in a comprehensive meta-analysis. Primary safety outcome was major bleeding; primary efficacy outcome was stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Secondary outcomes included a composite of major bleeding and stroke or TIA, minor bleeding, acute cerebral lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and mortality. Results: Six eligible RCTs comprising 2,369 patients were included. There were no significant differences in DOAC vs. VKA concerning the rates of major bleeding (2.2% vs. 3.8%; odds ratio (OR) 0.69, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.30–1.56; p = .37) and stroke or TIA (0.2% vs. 0.2%; OR 0.97, CI 0.20–4.72; p = .97). Pooled meta-analysis of secondary outcomes revealed no significant differences (OR 0.73, p = .49 for composite of major bleeding and stroke or TIA; OR 1.08, p = .52 for minor bleeding; OR 1.12, p = .59 for acute cerebral lesions on MRI; and OR 0.60, p = .64 for all-cause mortality). Conclusion: Our meta-analysis suggests that uninterrupted DOAC is not superior to VKA in patients undergoing catheter ablation of AF with comparable rates of major bleeding and stroke.

description: The relaxation of axisymmetric crystal surfaces with a single facet below the roughening transition is studied via a continuum approach that accounts for step energy g_1 and step-step interaction energy g_3>0. For diffusion-limited kinetics, free-boundary and boundary-layer theories are used for self-similar shapes close to the growing facet. For long times and g_3/g_1 < 1, (a) a universal equation is derived for the shape profile, (b) the layer thickness varies as (g_3/g_1)^{1/3}, (c) distinct solutions are found for different g_3/_1, and (d) for conical shapes, the profile peak scales as (g_3/g_1)^{-1/6}. These results compare favorably with kinetic simulations.

description: The present work is designed to explore the evolutionary and pulsational properties of low-mass white dwarfs with carbon/oxygen cores. In particular, we follow the evolution of a 0.33 Msun white dwarf remnant in a self-consistent way with the predictions of nuclear burning, element diffusion and the history of the white dwarf progenitor. Attention is focused on the occurrence of hydrogen shell flashes induced by diffusion processes during cooling phases. The evolutionary stages prior to the white dwarf formation are also fully accounted for by computing the conservative binary evolution of an initially 2.5-Msun Pop. I star with a 1.25 Msun companion, and period P_i= 3 days. Evolution is followed down to the domain of the ZZ Ceti stars on the white dwarf cooling branch. We find that chemical diffusion induces the occurrence of an additional hydrogen thermonuclear flash which leads to stellar models with thin hydrogen envelopes. As a result, a fast cooling is encountered at advanced stages of evolution. In addition, we explore the adiabatic pulsational properties of the resulting white dwarf models. As compared with their helium-core counterparts, low-mass oxygen-core white dwarfs are characterized by a pulsational spectrum much more featured, an aspect which could eventually be used for distinguishing both types of stars if low-mass white dwarfs were in fact found to pulsate as ZZ Ceti-type variables. Finally, we perform a non-adiabatic pulsational analysis on the resulting carbon/oxygen low-mass white dwarf models.

Image of the holotype and original description used to form the diagnosis.
Diagnosis.
Apanteles persephone is a difficult species to diagnose due to us having access to only a single image of the holotype. The species can be separated from many Apanteles in Australia by the dark metacoxa and metafemur, antenna of similar length to the body length, uniformly coloured pterostigma, fore wing veins 1 M and 1 CUa of similar pigmentation, hyaline fore wing membrane, parallel-sided and rugose T 1, smooth T 2, smooth mesoscutellar disc, and setae reduced to a single row on each of T 3 – T 6. Apanteles persephone is difficult to diagnose against A. darthvaderi and A. amicalis (see key and notes under those species for more information).
Notes.
Whilst we collected several species that closely resembled A. persephone, we hesitate to designate any of our delimited lineages as this species without either DNA of the type, or at minimum a specimen from close to the type locality (currently not available).

Distinguishing characters include the light cream to tan head and prothorax contrasting with the reddish brown thorax, the distal margin of the reniform spot is sharply angulate, black rectangular spot between orbicular and reniform spots, and in the males the long scales associated with the genitalia are bright reddish brown and tan. Hindwing is dirty white to pale gray with a faint discal spot and a very faint subterminal line in most specimens. Some specimens appear to have a washed­out appearance to the forewing with the rectangular spot absent and the pattern of lines and spots faint. Most of these specimens have a more uniform reddish brown forewing ground color.

description: In the last 25 years, transportation in rural America has been transformed by deregulation, devolution of Federal responsibilities to State and local governments, and traffic growth created by the booming economy of the 1990s. All modes of rural transportation—highways, passenger service (transit, intercity bus, and passenger rail service), trucking, inland waterways, rail freight service, and passenger air service— have been affected. By linking rural residents with distant jobs and services and by enabling commercial shipping, transportation is a cornerstone of rural economic development. However, rural transportation is still beset by higher commuting and shipping costs due to widely dispersed population and industry.

description: The Nation's inland waterway system—the internal network of rivers and the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Seaway, plus coastal waterways— provides a low-cost means of transporting bulky goods over long distances. Inland waterways, critical in moving farm commodities, inputs, and other raw materials, face a number of challenges. These include the deterioration of many locks and dams, particularly on the Upper Mississippi - Illinois River system, and the controversy over the best use of the waterway system in the Pacific Northwest.

description: Inhabitants of the North Central region have a favorable view of agriculture, regarding farmers as beneficial to the local economy and good environmental stewards. Survey respondents felt that existing environmental regulations are appropriate; that consolidation of agriculture will hurt the environment, society, and local economies; and that government should do more to help local farmers stay in business. Rural nonfarm residents, versus those residing on a farm or in a town or city, were more convinced of farmers’ positive impact on the local economy, but were less concerned about the effect of farm consolidation.
Phase transitions induced by noise cross-correlations

description: A general approach to consider spatially extended stochastic systems with correlations between additive and multiplicative noises subject to nonlinear damping is developed. Within modified cumulant expansion method, we derive an effective Fokker-Planck equation whose stationary solutions describe a character of ordered state. We find that fluctuation cross-correlations lead to a symmetry breaking of the distribution function even in the case of the zero-dimensional system. In general case, continuous, discontinuous and reentrant noise induced phase transitions take place. It is appeared the cross-correlations play a role of bias field which can induce a chain of phase transitions being different in nature. Within mean field approach, we give an intuitive explanation of the system behavior through an effective potential of thermodynamic type. This potential is written in the form of an expansion with coefficients defined by temperature, intensity of spatial coupling, auto- and cross-correlation times and intensities of both additive and multiplicative noises.

description: The model of local Turing machines is introduced, including classical and quantum ones, in the framework of matrix-product states. The locality refers to the fact that at any instance of the computation the heads of a Turing machine have definite locations. The local Turing machines are shown to be equivalent to the corresponding circuit models and standard models of Turing machines by simulation methods. This work reveals the fundamental connection between tensor-network states and information processing.

description: Rural communities across the country are sometimes forced to cope with the closure or downsizing of a major employer. Five communities in Minnesota and North Dakota recently coped with these events. Interviews with community leaders, together with a survey of almost 600 residents, revealed that community adjustments were facilitated by the presence of an active local or regional economic development organization, by substantial lead time prior to the closure or downsizing, and by cohesive local leadership with connections to State and regional organizations.

description: On the 1st of February, DANS launched its new on-line archiving system: EASY. What distinguishes this system from other archiving systems is the possibility for researchers to deposit datasets themselves, to customize the presentation of the dataset in the system and to control who will get access to the datasets. This presentation will present the results of the systems usage evaluation which has taken place in June of 2006, from which we can draw conclusions on the feasibility of having researchers depositing and archiving data themselves. Moreover, it will go into the numerous ways in which this web-application can be modified and customized without having to change the original programs source files, making it relatively simple to implement for organizations with very specific archiving system requirements.
Nomadic Family Homes

description: Nomads have existed forever, but over time the emergence of family structures and the formats of housing, schools and workplaces that surround them have resulted in communities trapped in an endless monotonous loop of common experiences, often becoming ignorant of their global neighbours and humanity’s diversity. In an effort to escape this status quo, contemporary nomadic families work tirelessly to explore new places and cultures across the globe, while constantly faced with the tremendous challenges associated with traveling with children. The most prominent of these challenges are related to obtaining adequate child education, socialization, and building a sense of community while frequently moving from one destination to another for extended periods of time. Ultimately, families that have been able to withstand the challenges of denying the status quo are rewarded with varied educational, developmental, and experiential advantages. Today we can see an increase in nomadic families, as schooling and working online becomes more widely available, and our digital connectivity promotes long distance social connections. While these new communication systems have the potential to allow the nomadic family lifestyle to be more accessible, the issue remains that there are no suitable architectural provisions for long term family travel that directly accommodate the needs of this family-oriented demographic. Nomadic Family Homes proposes a network of exclusive family residences whose intent is to promote a greater sense of community and socialization among the demographic, and to provide the child-specific support currently lacking. Architecturally, the ambition is for these residences to engage the Nomadic Families with the local culture that they are eager to take part in by thoughtfully considering and reflecting the local material fabric, being respectful towards ongoing typological conditions, and refraining from the tendency to provide an inauthentic tourist caricature. Each of the residences is an experiment to prove the capacity of traditional typologies across the globe to accommodate the nomadic families’ unprecedented programme. They individually take into consideration the influences of site, scale, and the ability to retain local influences and culture. While providing Nomadic Families with a supportive housing strategy, collectively this proposal also suggests a broader approach for ongoing architectural intervention that accommodates a mobile and global population.

description: The paper provides detailed information on a locality of Hieracium bifidum in the Pełcznica Gorge (Wałbrzych-Bolków Foothills, Lower Silesia, SW. Poland), with particular reference to the population size and role of the species in the plant communities. The studied population of H. bifidum is a part of the community clasified as Asplenietum trichomano-rutae-murariae Kuhn 1937 association. In other regions of Central Europe the species prefers high-altitude dry swards and rocky swards on calcareous substrata. Distribution analysis of all sites in the Sudetes shows that H. bifidum should be included in the red list of endengered species of Lower Silesia as a vulnerable species (VU).
Reaction fronts in stochastic exclusion models with three-site interactions

description: The microscopic structure and movement of reaction fronts in reaction diffusion systems far from equilibrium are investigated. We show that some three-site interaction models exhibit exact diffusive shock measures, i.e. domains of different densities connected by a sharp wall without correlations. In all cases fluctuating domains grow at the expense of ordered domains, the absence of growth is possible between ordered domains. It is shown that these models give rise to aspects not seen in nearest neighbor models, viz. double shocks and additional symmetries. A classification of the systems by their symmetries is given and the link of domain wall motion and a free fermion description is discussed.

description: Pre-shared entanglement can significantly boost communication rates in the regime of high thermal noise, and a low-brightness transmitter. In this regime, the ratio between the entanglement-assisted capacity and the Holevo capacity, the maximum reliable-communication rate permitted by quantum mechanics without any pre-shared entanglement as a resource, is known to scale as $\log(1/N_S)$, where $N_S \ll 1$ is the mean transmitted photon number per mode. This is especially promising in enabling a large boost to radio-frequency communications in the weak-transmit-power regime, by exploiting pre-shared optical-frequency entanglement, e.g., distributed by the quantum internet. In this paper, we propose a structured design of a quantum transmitter and receiver that leverages continuous-variable pre-shared entanglement from a downconversion source, which can harness this purported infinite-fold capacity enhancement---a problem open for over a decade. Finally, the implication of this result to the breaking of the well-known {\em square-root law} for covert communications, with pre-shared entanglement assistance, is discussed.
