 Prosentoria Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907: 207. Type species: Prosentoria arrogans Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907: 207, by original designation.
Description. Large size for Clitumninae. Body unarmed, with a few small granules; cylindrical, very slender and elongate. Head oval. Vertex flat, with a pair of spine-like horns. Occiput weakly convex. Antennae short. Pronotum trapezoidal in female, rectangular in male. Mesonotum slender and elongate. Metanotum longer than median segment. Abdomen cylindrical. Anal segment broadly emarginated posteriorly in both sexes. Supra-anal plate distinct. Female subgenital plate lanceolate, elongate, scoop-shaped, apex pointed, distinctly surpassing posterior margin of supra-anal plate. Male poculum cup-shaped, tapering posteriorly, apex pointed. Cerci short. Legs very slender and long. Profemora distinctly incurved basally. Egg oval, with rounded micropylar plate.
Distribution. Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam.
 Remarks. Currently two species are recognised including Prosentoria arrogans Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907 (= Prosentoria lobicornis Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907; = Cuniculina longelaminata Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907) and P. vietnamensis sp. nov. The discovery of P. vietnamensis sp. nov. not only contributes to the knowledge of the geographical distribution pattern for the genus, but also the knowledge of zoogeographical relationship between Indochinese Subregion and Sundaic Subregion in the Oriental Region. Based on the current distribution of the genus in Vietnam, which is restricted to central part, potential distributions can be discovered in southern and northern Vietnam and its neighbouring countries such as Cambodia, Laos and Thailand.

Creators: name: Dykema, Jane
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

Frances has recently survived a near-fatal car accident, and a period of convalescence in which she was cared for by her eccentric mother. Now, with the help of her friend, Jane, she’s landed a job at an AIDS Service Organization where she has the opportunity to slowly come back to life. Touching on themes of female friendship, marriage, and intimacy through technology, and with undertones of capitalism, racism, and patriarchy, We Are Not Supposed to Be Happy is a love story in every direction.

Icky Boy
Creators: name: Schoch, Michael V
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

Icky Boy is a work of fiction, particularly a collection of short stories. Every story is set in a semi-fictional region of Southern Maine, most of them in the fictional town of Mousam. The collection begins with “Icky Boy,” the story of a shy, insecure young man who falls in love with a woman, Peg, he meets at the grocery store. Their relationship is complicated by the arrival of an unorthodox motivational speaker and by a freak accident that critically affects Peg. The second story, “Cardiac Fridays”, is about a retired professional wrestler, “Big” John Childs who tries to find excitement and purpose in his life (by helping out at a clinic that induces heart attacks in people looking for thrills) after retiring from his job and becoming estranged from his wife and son. “Bone Breaker” tells the story of a debt collector who is experiencing a mid-life crisis. In the process of pursuing a debtor he begins to have a change of heart and reevaluate his life. “Gravy Work” follows a young couple, Cheryl and Thurman, who experience relationship difficulties as a result of their different ambitions. They attempt to reconcile their personalities while also trying to move to a different city and coping with Thurman’s addiction to a new TV program. “Donor” is about half brothers, Arthur and Kevin, who don’t get along (due to Kevin’s rage disorder) and who haven’t found their niche in high school. The two boys begin contacting their respective sperm donors for insights into their past and their future potential. “Win-Win” is about a man’s return to his hometown to help bury an ex lover’s dead ex boyfriend. In his attempt to reconcile with his ex, the narrator reveals himself to be more conflicted and insecure than he previously thought. “Particular Human” is about two men who get a flat tire while driving and so stop at a late night fast food shop managed by a unique and uniquely sad individual. “Chassis” follows the tribulations of a small family as they cope with the matriarch’s failing health.

description: We have constructed a Fourier-transform spectrometer (FTS) operating between 50 and 330 GHz with minimum volume (355 x260 x64 mm) and weight (13 lbs) while maximizing optical throughput (100 $\mathrm{mm}^2$ sr) and optimizing the spectral resolution (4 GHz). This FTS is designed as a polarizing Martin-Puplett interferometer with unobstructed input and output in which both input polarizations undergo interference. The instrument construction is simple with mirrors milled on the box walls and one motorized stage as the single moving element. We characterize the performance of the FTS, compare the measurements to an optical simulation, and discuss features that relate to details of the FTS design. The simulation is also used to determine the tolerance of optical alignments for the required specifications. We detail the FTS mechanical design and provide the control software as well as the analysis code online.

description: The results of five years of development of the inner tracking system of the HERA-B experiment and first experience from the data taking period of the year 2000 are reported. The system contains 184 chambers, covering a sensitive area of about 20 * 20 cm2 each. The detector is based on microstrip gas counters (MSGCs) with diamond like coated (DLC) glass wafers and gas electron multipliers (GEMs). The main problems in the development phase were gas discharges in intense hadron beams and aging in a high radiation dose environment. The observation of gas discharges which damage the electrode structure of the MSGC led to the addition of the GEM as a first amplification step. Spurious sparking at the GEM cannot be avoided completely. It does not affect the GEM itself but can produce secondary damage of the MSGC if the electric field between the GEM and the MSGC is above a threshold depending on operation conditions. We observed that aging does not only depend on the dose but also on the spot size of the irradiated area. Ar-DME mixtures had to be abandoned whereas a mixture of 70% Ar and 30% CO2 showed no serious aging effects up to about 40 mC/cm deposited charge on the anodes. X-ray measurements indicate that the DLC of the MSGC is deteriorated by the gas amplification process. As a consequence, long term gain variations are expected. The Inner Tracker has successfully participated in the data taking at HERA-B during summer 2000.

description: Quantum communications are based on the law of physics for information security and the implications for this form of future information security enabled by quantum science has to be studied. Physics-based vulnerabilities may exist due to the inherent physics properties and behavior of quantum technologies such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), thus resulting in new threats that may emerge with attackers exploiting the physics-based vulnerabilities. There were many studies and experiments done to demonstrate the threat of physics-based attacks on quantum links. However, there is a lack of a framework that provides a common language to communicate about the threats and type of adversaries being dealt with for physics-based attacks. This paper is a review of physics-based attacks that were being investigated and attempt to initialize a framework based on the attack objectives and methodologies, referencing the concept from the well-established MITRE ATT&CK, therefore pioneering the classification of Indicator of Compromises (IoCs) for physics-based attacks. This paper will then pave the way for future work in the development of a forensic tool for the different classification of IoCs, with the methods of evidence collections and possible points of extractions for analysis being further investigated.

description: Beyond 5G and 6G networks are expected to support new and challenging use cases and applications that depend on a certain level of Quality of Service (QoS) to operate smoothly. Predicting the QoS in a timely manner is of high importance, especially for safety-critical applications as in the case of vehicular communications. Although until recent years the QoS prediction has been carried out by centralized Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions, a number of privacy, computational, and operational concerns have emerged. Alternative solutions have surfaced (e.g. Split Learning, Federated Learning), distributing AI tasks of reduced complexity across nodes, while preserving the privacy of the data. However, new challenges rise when it comes to scalable distributed learning approaches, taking into account the heterogeneous nature of future wireless networks. The current work proposes DISTINQT, a novel multi-headed input privacy-aware distributed learning framework for QoS prediction. Our framework supports multiple heterogeneous nodes, in terms of data types and model architectures, by sharing computations across them. This enables the incorporation of diverse knowledge into a sole learning process that will enhance the robustness and generalization capabilities of the final QoS prediction model. DISTINQT also contributes to data privacy preservation by encoding any raw input data into highly complex, compressed, and irreversible latent representations before any transmission. Evaluation results showcase that DISTINQT achieves a statistically identical performance compared to its centralized version, while also proving the validity of the privacy preserving claims. DISTINQT manages to achieve a reduction in prediction error of up to 65% on average against six state-of-the-art centralized baseline solutions presented in the Tele-Operated Driving use case.

description: Context The Vela Molecular Ridge is one of the nearest (700 pc) giant molecular cloud (GMC) complexes hosting intermediate-mass (up to early B, late O stars) star formation, and is located in the outer Galaxy, inside the Galactic plane. Vela C is one of the GMCs making up the Vela Molecular Ridge, and exhibits both sub-regions of robust and sub-regions of more quiescent star formation activity, with both low- and intermediate(high)-mass star formation in progress. Aims We aim to study the individual and global properties of dense dust cores in Vela C, and aim to search for spatial variations in these properties which could be related to different environmental properties and/or evolutionary stages in the various sub-regions of Vela C. Methods We mapped the submillimetre (345 GHz) emission from vela C with LABOCA (beam size 19.2", spatial resolution ~0.07 pc at 700 pc) at the APEX telescope. We used the clump-finding algorithm CuTEx to identify the compact submillimetre sources. We also used SIMBA (250 GHz) observations, and Herschel and WISE ancillary data. The association with WISE red sources allowed the protostellar and starless cores to be separated, whereas the Herschel dataset allowed the dust temperature to be derived for a fraction of cores. The protostellar and starless core mass functions (CMFs) were constructed following two different approaches, achieving a mass completeness limit of 3.7 Msun. Results We retrieved 549 submillimetre cores, 316 of which are starless and mostly gravitationally bound (therefore prestellar in nature). Both the protostellar and the starless CMFs are consistent with the shape of a Salpeter initial mass function in the high-mass part of the distribution. Clustering of cores at scales of 1--6 pc is also found, hinting at fractionation of magnetised, turbulent gas.

description: Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are used in a wide range of underwater applications, ranging from seafloor mapping to industrial operations. While underwater, the AUV navigation solution commonly relies on the fusion between inertial sensors and Doppler velocity logs (DVL). To achieve accurate DVL measurements a calibration procedure should be conducted before the mission begins. Model-based calibration approaches include filtering approaches utilizing global navigation satellite system signals. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end deep-learning framework for the calibration procedure. Using stimulative data, we show that our proposed approach outperforms model-based approaches by 35% in accuracy and 80% in the required calibration time.

Moreover, the optimal choices and modifications of the phase angles in the Grover kernel is also studied.

description: QCD sum rules predict that the change of the strange quark condensate $$ in hadron matter at finite baryon density causes a shift of the peak position of the di-electron spectra from $ϕ$ meson decays. Due to the expansion of hadron matter in heavy-ion collisions, the $ϕ$ peak suffers a smearing governed by the interval of density in the expanding fireball, which appears as effective broadening of the di-electron spectrum in the $ϕ$ region. The emerging broadening is sensitive to the in-medium change of $$. This allows to probe directly in-medium modifications of $$ via di-electron spectra in heavy-ion collisions at SIS energies with HADES.

description: Lidar sensors are often used in mobile robots and autonomous vehicles to complement camera, radar and ultrasonic sensors for environment perception. Typically, perception algorithms are trained to only detect moving and static objects as well as ground estimation, but intentionally ignore weather effects to reduce false detections. In this work, we present an in-depth analysis of automotive lidar performance under harsh weather conditions, i.e. heavy rain and dense fog. An extensive data set has been recorded for various fog and rain conditions, which is the basis for the conducted in-depth analysis of the point cloud under changing environmental conditions. In addition, we introduce a novel approach to detect and classify rain or fog with lidar sensors only and achieve an mean union over intersection of 97.14 % for a data set in controlled environments. The analysis of weather influences on the performance of lidar sensors and the weather detection are important steps towards improving safety levels for autonomous driving in adverse weather conditions by providing reliable information to adapt vehicle behavior.

description: Graph neural networks (GNNs) demonstrate a robust capability for representation learning on graphs with complex structures, showcasing superior performance in various applications. The majority of existing GNNs employ a graph convolution operation by using both attribute and structure information through coupled learning. In essence, GNNs, from an optimization perspective, seek to learn a consensus and compromise embedding representation that balances attribute and graph information, selectively exploring and retaining valid information. To obtain a more comprehensive embedding representation of nodes, a novel GNNs framework, dubbed Decoupled Graph Neural Networks (DGNN), is introduced. DGNN explores distinctive embedding representations from the attribute and graph spaces by decoupled terms. Considering that semantic graph, constructed from attribute feature space, consists of different node connection information and provides enhancement for the topological graph, both topological and semantic graphs are combined for the embedding representation learning. Further, structural consistency among attribute embedding and graph embeddings is promoted to effectively remove redundant information and establish soft connection. This involves promoting factor sharing for adjacency reconstruction matrices, facilitating the exploration of a consensus and high-level correlation. Finally, a more powerful and complete representation is achieved through the concatenation of these embeddings. Experimental results conducted on several graph benchmark datasets verify its superiority in node classification task.

description: In cuprate superconductors, the highest $T_c$ is possessed by the HgBa$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{8+δ}$ (Hg-1223) system at ambient pressure, but the reason remains elusive. Here we report the scanning tunneling measurements on the Hg-1223 single crystals with $T_c$ = 134 K. The observed gaps determined from the tunneling spectra (STS) can be categorized into two groups: the smaller gap $Δ_1$ ranges from about 45 to 70 meV, while the larger gap $Δ_2$ from about 65 to 98 meV. The STS was measured up to 200 K and the larger gap can persist well above $T_c$, indicating a pseudogap feature which may reflect the strong pairing energy in the inner layer. Interestingly, an extremely strong particle-hole asymmetry is observed in associating with a very robust coherence-like peak at the bias of the larger gap in the hole branch of the Bogoliubov dispersion. We argue that the observed asymmetry results may be from the interplay of a flat band (van Hove singularity) in the electronic spectrum and the large gap in the underdoped (inner) layer. A theoretical approach based on a trilayer model with an interlayer coupling can give a reasonable explanation. Our results provide deep insight into understanding the mechanism of superconductivity in cuprate superconductors.

description: 3.2 Lamachodes Redtenbacher, 1908
 Lamachodes Redtenbacher, 1908: 482. Type species: Lamachodes laevis Redtenbacher, 1908: 482, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Medium-sized Necrosciinae. Body unarmed, sparsely and inconspicuously granulated; cylindrical, slender and elongate. Head oval. Vertex flat. Occiput gently convex. Antennae filiform and long. Pronotum rectangular. Mesonotum slender and elongate. Metanotum as long as median segment. Abdomen cylindrical. Anal segment emarginated posteriorly in both sexes. Female subgenital plate elongate, scoop-shaped, distinctly notched posteriorly, apex surpassing or not surpassing posterior margin of anal segment. Male poculum cup-shaped, tapering posteriorly, apex pointed. Cerci cylindrical. Legs unarmed. Profemora distinctly incurved basally. Tegmina and alae minute and scale-like. Egg oblong with rounded posterior pole, ventral surface not flattened.
Distribution. Vietnam.
 Remarks. Lamachodes Redtenbacher, 1908 is similar to Asceles Redtenbacher, 1908 and Marmessoidea Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893, but can be separated by scale-like tegmina and alae in both sexes, elongate abdominal subgenital plate in female, broadly emarginated posterior margin of anal abdominal segment and posteriorly elongate poculum in male and oblong egg capsule lacking flattened ventral surface. The discovery of L. brocki sp. nov. not only contributes to the knowledge of male and egg structures, but also the geographical distribution pattern for the genus. Based on the current distributions of the genus, which is restricted to southern and central parts of Vietnam, potential distributions can be discovered in northern Vietnam and its neighbouring countries such as Laos, Cambodia and southwestern parts of China. Currently two species are recognised and all of them only occur in Vietnam. The male of L. laevis Redtenbacher, 1908 is unknown. A key to the species of genus is only provided for the females.

description: This report summarizes the financial and production records of 11 Michigan swine farms. To be included, the farms must have produced at least 50 percent of gross cash farm income from one or a combination of fat hogs, feeder pigs and cull breeding hogs sales. The records came from Michigan State University’s TelFarm project and the Farm Credit Service system in Michigan. The values were pooled into averages for reporting purposes. Farm records were included if a farm financial summary was completed on 2008 data including beginning and ending balance sheets, plus income and expenses. The data were checked to verify that cash discrepancy was less than 10% of gross cash inflow and that debt discrepancy was less than $1,000. While considerable variation in the data exists, average values are reported in the summary tables.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: The regulation of river systems to meet water demands for irrigation in the southern Murray Darling Basin has changed the timing and the volume of the natural pattern of flows. Australian governments have committed to restoring, in part, winter and spring flow regimes to preserve and enhance the riverine environment. These changes will involve trade-offs against the foregone returns to agriculture and between different environmental objectives. To better understand these trade-offs, environmental flow objectives are specified as a change in the inter-arrival time distributions of winter and spring flow events, ranging from brief flooding events to the inundation of flood plains and wetlands over several weeks. Expected costs, and hence the trade-offs, depend on the required volume, the threshold inter-arrival time between environmental watering events, and the acceptable probability of exceeding that threshold time. The economic costs of meeting environmental flow objectives will depend on prevailing climatic conditions. The key to minimising costs to other water users is to time the environmental release to avoid periods of low water availability and take advantage of periods of high availability while still meeting the flow objectives. In doing so, an environmental manager must weigh current environmental condition against the likelihood of more or less favourable conditions in the future. A stochastic optimisation model is used to develop release strategies based on a known set of stream inflows and evaluated against a randomised sequence of unknown flows. The model is used to elicit the economic trade-offs associated with environmental flow objectives and the threshold inter-arrival time between events. The model was also used to examine how different institutional arrangements affect the economic efficiency of delivering these objectives.
The Freeness Problem for Automaton Semigroups

description: We show that the freeness problems for automaton semigroups and for automaton monoids are undecidable and, thereby, solve an open problem listed by Grigorchuk, Nekrashevych and Sush\-chansk\uıi. We achieve this using a new technique to encode Post's Correspondence Problem into automaton semigroups and monoids and our result even holds if we restrict the alphabet of the input automata to a constant size. The encoding allows us to precisely control the relations in the generated semigroup/monoid and the construction is quite versatile. In fact, we obtain further undecidability results on various semigroup notions (left cancellativity, equidivisibility and extending homomorphisms). Our construction can also be adapted to show that the free presentation problem for automaton monoids is undecidable (and yields a weaker statement in the semigroup case).

description: The degradation of environmental quality has been one of the main concerns in Indonesia. The government has mentioned the environmental tax as the instrument of environmental management; however, the primary potential problem will be the issue of compliance. Inspired by the situation in Indonesia, this study is expected to contribute on environmental regulation and tax compliance literatures by examining and comparing the impact of bribery, financial reward, and religious attitude on compliance in a developing country where the bribery prevails. The study employs laboratory experiment approach. The results indicate that bribery has the strongest impact; the presence of bribery significantly worsens the compliance. Financial reward enhances the compliance only if the bribery is curbed, while religious attitude has no significant impact.
Spin-valley density wave in moiré materials

description: We introduce and study a minimum two-orbital Hubbard model on a triangular lattice, which captures the key features of both the trilayer ABC-stacked graphene-boron nitride heterostructure and twisted transition metal dichalcogenides in a broad parameter range. Our model comprises first- and second-nearest neighbor hoppings with valley-contrasting flux that accounts for trigonal warping in the band structure. For the strong-coupling regime with one electron per site, we derive a spin-orbital exchange Hamiltonian and find the semiclassical ground state to be a spin-valley density wave. We show that a relatively small second-neighbor exchange interaction is sufficient to stabilize the ordered state against quantum fluctuations. Effects of spin- and valley Zeeman fields as well as thermal fluctuations are also examined.

description: The production and annihilation of antiprotons in the hadronic phase of heavy-ion collisions is evaluated within a thermal equilibrium approach. It is shown that the inverse reaction of $p\bar p$ annihilation (i.e., multi-pion annihilation $N_ππ\to p\bar p$ with $N_π\simeq$~5-7) in connection with oversaturation of pion phase space (i.e., finite pion chemical potentials) plays an important role in understanding the observed antiproton yields at SpS energies within the standard picture of subsequent chemical and thermal freezeout. Implications for RHIC energies are also addressed.

description: In this paper we study the geometry of certain functionals associated to quasilinear elliptic boundary value problems with a degenerate nonlocal term of Kirchhoff type. Due to the degeneration of the nonlocal term it is not possible to directly use classical results such as uniform a-priori estimates and "Sobolev versus Hölder local minimizers" type of results. We prove that results similar to these hold true or not, depending on how degenerate the problem is. We apply our findings in order to show existence and multiplicity of solutions for the associated quasilinear equations, considering several different interactions between the nonlocal term and the nonlinearity.

description: We consider the doublet-triplet splitting problem in supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theory in five dimensions where the fifth dimension is non-compact. We point out that an unnatural fine-tuning of parameters in order to obtain the light Higgs doublets is not required due to the exponential suppression of the overlap of the wave functions.
