description: XXIV. Sesquiluna Forbes, 1955 (FIGURE 45)
Sesquiluna Forbes, 1955, Tijdschr. Ent. 98: 121. Type species: Andraca albilunata Hampson, 1910, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Characterized by the following features: small to medium sized with ash grey to dark cream-grey ground color; forewings short and broad with festooned outer margin; hindwings without distinct pattern except for two dark spots on inner margin, outer margin broadly rounded or crenulate with distinct tornal emargination; tegumen swollen; uncus short and flattened; gnathos and socii absent; valvae very large and divided on two lobes by a huge emargination; juxta small with caudal emargination; aedeagus long, tubular with a distinct coecum; vesica without cornuti; sternum 8 in males slightly modified, posterior margin with a pair of short, medio-caudal hooks placed close together.
Distribution. Very few specimens are known from NE India, S China, N Thailand, N Vietnam, and Java so far. This here is the first record from China.
Remarks. Zolotuhin & Witt (2009) considered that this genus had been erroneously synonymized with Theophoba Fletcher & Nye, 1982 (incorrectly attributed to Mell, 1958; see below) by Kishida (1993). In fact, Sesquiluna does not appear to be closely related to Theophoba based on the unique characters of the male genitalia that are very quite different from all hitherto known bombycid genera. Nässig & Oberprieler (2008) gave a short discussion on its systematic position, but we temporarily consider that it is a bombycid. However, this taxonomic status should be confirmed by genetic data, although it does form a cluster with Theophoba based on COI barcode data (unpublished). At present, three Sesquiluna species are known, of which only one is recorded from China (Map 24).

description: Cereal production and marketing are the means of livelihood for millions of households in Ethiopia. It is the single largest sub-sector within Ethiopia’s agriculture, far exceeding all others in terms of its share in rural employment, agricultural land use, calorie intake, and contribution to national income. Therefore, while the country has experimented with almost all dominant forms of political and economic ideologies,2 keeping the cereal subsector stable has influenced the agricultural policy thinking of all three political regimes over the past half century. The monarchic regime instituted grain market board; the central planning region (1974-91) renamed it the Agricultural Marketing Corporation (AMC) and expanded its scope to practically take over the staple food markets; and while the current government implemented substantial reforms, it continues to maintain the necessary policy instruments to intervene in case of emergencies. There is a widespread recognition that parastatal-centric policies of cereal price stabilization proved expensive and led to inequitable distribution of benefits. However, recent policy actions suggest that, like many other developing countries, Ethiopia is not yet ready to fully rely on markets. This became particularly evident during the food price crisis when the government re-instituted urban food rationing programs, carried out open market sales, and suspended local procurement by the World Food Programme (WFP), country’s food logistic agency (Ethiopian Grain Trading Enterprise), and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This perhaps reflects the fact that risks of price instability—in term of economic, human, and political costs—is still the predominant consideration in food policy making of the country. This paper discusses the sources of such concerns and how they are reflected in recent policy actions. It provides evidence of the subsector’s significance; characterizes the key cereal markets in terms of production, trade, and price patterns; and summarizes the policy actions following food price crisis. The evidence on the importance of selected cereals is presented in Section 2, which is followed by a discussion of production and trade of those cereals. Section 4 analyzes price patterns, focusing on seasonality and tradability. A summary of public policy actions following the global food crisis is presented in Section 5; and the paper concludes with a summary and implications.

description: Uganda is a densely populated, landlocked country in the East African highlands with a population of about 32 million people and a population density of 133 people per square kilometer. Although generally equatorial, Uganda’s climate is not uniform. Temperature and rainfall varies with altitude and across regions. The southern part of Uganda is more rainy, and the rainfall is generally spread throughout the year. On the northern shore of Lake Victoria, the rain falls from March to June and from November to December. In the southwest, on the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it rains heavily all year round. The northeastern region has the driest climate and is prone to droughts in some years. Annual rainfall ranges between 500 mm in the northeast and 1300 mm in the southwest. Uganda's economy suffered from political turmoil and devastating economic policies during the Idi Amin regime of the 1970’s. Political instability persisted through the mid-1980’s, leaving Uganda as one of the world's poorest countries. Since then, peace has returned to the majority of the country, although sporadic rebellion continued in the north until 2009. The country instituted a comprehensive economic reform program during the 1990s, leading to a strong recovery. In 2008, Uganda recorded 9.5% growth despite the global downturn and regional instability. While agriculture accounted for 56% of the economy in the mid 80s, with coffee as its main export, currently it only accounts about 23% of gross domestic product (World Bank, 2009). However, agriculture still plays an important role, directly or indirectly providing a livelihood to almost 90 percent of the population. Agricultural production based primarily on small-scale agriculture remains a mainstay of the economy. Uganda's main food crops have been plantains, cassava, maize, sweet potatoes, millet, sorghum, beans, and groundnuts. Major cash crops include coffee, cotton, tea, and tobacco.

description: Spin-bearing molecules are promising building blocks for quantum technologies as they can be chemically tuned, assembled into scalable arrays, and readily incorporated into diverse device architectures. In molecular systems, optically addressing ground-state spins would enable a wide range of applications in quantum information science, as has been demonstrated for solid-state defects. However, this important functionality has remained elusive for molecules. Here, we demonstrate such optical addressability in a series of synthesized organometallic, chromium(IV) molecules. These compounds display a ground-state spin that can be initialized and read out using light, and coherently manipulated with microwaves. In addition, through atomistic modification of the molecular structure, we tune the spin and optical properties of these compounds, paving the way for designer quantum systems synthesized from the bottom-up.

Lower Excitation Spectrum of the Nucleon and Delta in a Relativistic Chiral Quark Model

description: The lower excitation spectrum of the nucleon and $Δ$ is calculated in a relativistic chiral quark model. Contributions of the second order self-energy and exchange diagrams due-to pion fields to the mass spectrum of the SU(2) baryons are estimated. A splitting between N(939) and positive parity nucleon resonance (Roper resonance) $N^*(1440)$ is reproduced with a reasonable accuracy. The obtained structure of one-meson exchange interaction confirms a prediction of the large $N_c$ limit approach stating that the mass splitting between various baryon states receive contributions from operators which simultaneously couple spin, isospin and orbital momentum. It is shown that one-meson exchange interaction generates a splitting between negative parity $N^*(1/2^-)$ and $N^*(3/2^-)$ states, and also between $Δ^*(3/2^-)$ and $Δ^*(1/2^-)$ states in contrast to the non-relativistic Goldstone-Boson Exchange based quark models. This splitting is due-to a relativistic operator which couples the lower and upper orbital momentum of two interacting valence quarks.

description: We study methods for reconstructing Bayesian uncertainties on dynamical mass estimates of galaxy clusters using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We discuss the statistical background of approximate Bayesian neural networks and demonstrate how variational inference techniques can be used to perform computationally tractable posterior estimation for a variety of deep neural architectures. We explore how various model designs and statistical assumptions impact prediction accuracy and uncertainty reconstruction in the context of cluster mass estimation. We measure the quality of our model posterior recovery using a mock cluster observation catalog derived from the MultiDark simulation and UniverseMachine catalog. We show that approximate Bayesian CNNs produce highly accurate dynamical cluster mass posteriors. These model posteriors are log-normal in cluster mass and recover $68\%$ and $90\%$ confidence intervals to within $1\%$ of their measured value. We note how this rigorous modeling of dynamical mass posteriors is necessary for using cluster abundance measurements to constrain cosmological parameters.

description: Tanzania is a large country, covering 947 thousand square kilometers. Its main geographic features are a coastal plain in the west, northern highlands along the border with Kenya, southern highlands near the Zambian border, and the semi-arid central plains. The population is 42.5 million, 23% of which live in urban areas. Tanzania is larger and more populous than any of its neighbors in eastern and southern Africa with the exceptions of Ethiopia and South Africa. Most of the Tanzania has a single rainy season, which occurs between December and April. The northern and northeaster edge of the country, however, has a bimodal rainfall pattern, with a shorter vuli rainy season from October to December and a longer masika rainy season from March to May. The southern highlands are considered the “breadbasket” of Tanzania, producing most of the marketed maize. The northern highlands is another high-potential zone, producing coffee, and horticultural products. The central and northwest zones are drier and less food secure, growing sorghum, tobacco, and cotton. The southwest of Tanzania produces cassava for domestic consumption and cashews for export.

description: Globally irreducible nodes (i.e. nodes whose branches belong to the same irreducible component) have mild effects on the most common topological invariants of an algebraic curve. In other words, adding a globally irreducible node (simple nodal degeneration) to a curve should not change them a lot. In this paper we study the effect of nodal degeneration of curves on fundamental groups and show examples where simple nodal degenerations produce non-isomorphic fundamental groups and this can be detected in an algebraic way by means of Galois coverings.

description: 77. Theophoba pendulans Mell, 1958 (FIGURES 46 A–46E)
Theophoba pendulans Mell, 1958, Dt. ent. Z. 5: 207, figs 8, 10. TL: “Lungtaoshan, Kwangtung” [Guangdong prov.] China. Holotype: male (ZMHU) [examined].
Diagnosis. Easily distinguished by the following characters: forewing with apex hooked; uncus short, pyramidal, with an apical bifurcation; costal process of valva apically swollen; external margin of valva with protruded ventrocaudal angle; aedeagus apically flattened and broadened, with a ventral rounded plate bearing two large teeth and one or two small marginal thorns.
Specimens examined. [SHANGHAI] 1 female, Miss.-Mus. Steyl. (ZFMK); [GUANGDONG] Lungtaoshan (Lianping County): 1 male, holotype deposited in ZMHU with the label “[China, Guangdong] Lungtaoshan, ex p. 25.X.19 ??, leg. R. Mell ”; [GUANGXI] Dayao Shan (Jingxiu County): 1 male, 100 km SE of Liuzhou, 23˚45’N, 109˚45’E, 1.200 m, April 2005, Sinjaev & his team leg. (MWM); [YUNNAN] Weibaoshan (Weishan County): 1 male, 2.800 m, September 2002, Ying et al. leg. (SMFL); Puwen (Xishuangbanna Dai Auton. Pref.): 1 female, 30 km SSW Simao, 900 m, 22˚30’N, 100˚02’E, 16.III–10.IV.2000, Brechlin’s local collector leg. (MWM).
Bionomics. The larval host and preimaginal stages are unknown, although the holotype was hatched from a cocoon found in the wild. The shape of the cocoon is strongly dissimilar to those of other Bombycidae, resembling rather the saddle-shaped cocoon of Trabala (Lasiocampidae), but has a very long thread connecting the cocoon with a substratum (Plate 11F).
Distribution. Mainland China (Shanghai, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunan) and Taiwan, northern Thailand, northern Myanmar.
Remarks. This is the most widespread species of the genus, being known from southern and southwestern China, northern Thailand and nothern Myanmar. The same species is probably also native to Taiwan (1 female, Chunyang, Jenai, Nantou County, Taiwan, C.S. Lin leg. [http://digimuse.nmns.edu.tw] and 1 female, Lushan spa, Nantou Hsien, 26.II.1983, H. Yoshimoto leg.) (Kishida, 1984). In Taiwan, we found specimens were almost always incorrectly identified as the endemic Javanese species, Bombyx horsfieldi (Moore, 1859).

description: Robust speaker recognition, including in the presence of malicious attacks, is becoming increasingly important and essential, especially due to the proliferation of several smart speakers and personal agents that interact with an individual's voice commands to perform diverse, and even sensitive tasks. Adversarial attack is a recently revived domain which is shown to be effective in breaking deep neural network-based classifiers, specifically, by forcing them to change their posterior distribution by only perturbing the input samples by a very small amount. Although, significant progress in this realm has been made in the computer vision domain, advances within speaker recognition is still limited. The present expository paper considers several state-of-the-art adversarial attacks to a deep speaker recognition system, employing strong defense methods as countermeasures, and reporting on several ablation studies to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the problem. The experiments show that the speaker recognition systems are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, and the strongest attacks can reduce the accuracy of the system from 94% to even 0%. The study also compares the performances of the employed defense methods in detail, and finds adversarial training based on Projected Gradient Descent (PGD) to be the best defense method in our setting. We hope that the experiments presented in this paper provide baselines that can be useful for the research community interested in further studying adversarial robustness of speaker recognition systems.

description: Zambia’s 11 million people occupy a large swath of fertile but landlocked farmland in the central part of southern Africa. Given its low population density, abundant subsurface water, large tracts of cultivable farmland and proximity to large neighboring deficit food markets, Zambia enjoys significant potential as a prospective regional food exporter. Despite this considerable agricultural potential, Zambia remains intermittently food deficit (in poor harvest years), autarkic (in normal years) and food surplus (in good harvest years). Maize prices fluctuate considerably from year to year as a result of domestic production volatility and a penchant for government control of cross-border trade in food staples.

description: We present a modified diffusive epidemic process that has a finite threshold on scale-free graphs. The diffusive epidemic process describes the epidemic spreading in a non-sedentary population, and it is a reaction-diffusion process. In the diffusion stage, the individuals can jump between connected nodes, according to different diffusive rates for the infected and susceptible individuals. In the reaction stage, the contagion can happen if there is an infected individual sharing the same node, and infected individuals can spontaneously recover. Our main modification is to turn the number of individuals' interactions independent on the population size by using Gillespie algorithm with a reaction time $t_\mathrm{max}$, exponentially distributed with mean inversely proportional to the node concentration. Our simulation results of the modified model on Barabasi-Albert networks are compatible with a continuous phase transition with a finite threshold from an absorbing phase to an active phase when increasing the concentration. The transition obeys the mean-field critical exponents of the order parameter, its fluctuations and the spatial correlation length, whose values are $β=1$, $γ'=0$ and $ν_\perp=1/2$, respectively. In addition, the system presents logarithmic corrections with pseudo-exponents $\widehatβ=\widehatγ'=-3/2$ on the order parameter and its fluctuations, respectively. The most evident implication of our simulation results is if the individuals avoid social interactions in order to not spread a disease, this leads the system to have a finite threshold in scale-free graphs, allowing for epidemic control.

description: Malawi is a small, densely populated country in southern Africa. The population is 13.1 million, according to the preliminary results of the 2008 Census. Thus, the population is slightly greater than that of Zambia but less than its other neighbors. The population13 density is 110 inhabitants per square kilometer, compared to an average of 34 per km2 for sub-Saharan Africa. Malawi ranks sixth in population density among African countries. The altitude ranges from 30 meters above sea level in the Lower Shire Valley in the south to 3000 m above sea level in the mountainous north. Most of the country, however, is above 600 m, giving it a moderate climate in spite of the tropical latitude. Annual rainfall ranges between 800 and 1400 mm in most areas of Malawi. The rain is strongly seasonal and follows a unimodal pattern, with almost all the annual rainfall occurring between November and April. Agriculture accounts for about one third (34%) of gross domestic product, a higher percentage than in most of the other countries in eastern and southern Africa. Maize is the most important food crop, followed by cassava, sweet potatoes, and sorghum. The dominant export crop is tobacco, grown both by small-scale farmers and on large estates. Other important cash crops are sugarcane, tea, cotton, and coffee, produced mainly by estates. Agriculture contributes 90% of the export revenue of Malawi (World Bank, 2009).

description: We prescribe a method to study the effects of self-gravity of accretion disk around a black hole associated with long Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) in an evolving background Kerr metric. This is an extension to our previous work where we presented possible constraints for the final masses and spins of these astrophysical black holes. Incorporating the self-force of the accreting cloud around the black hole is a very important aspect due to the transient nature of the event, in which a huge amount of mass is accreted and changes the fundamental black hole parameters i.e. its mass and spin, during the process. Understanding of the GRBs engine is important because they are possible sources of high-energy particles and gravitational waves as most of the energy released from the dynamical evolution is in the form of gravitational radiation. Here, we describe the analytical framework we developed to employ in our numerical model. The numerical studies are planned for the future work.

description: Mathematical disease modelling has long operated under the assumption that any one infectious disease is caused by one transmissible pathogen spreading among a population. This paradigm has been useful in simplifying the biological reality of epidemics and has allowed the modelling community to focus on the complexity of other factors such as population structure and interventions. However, there is an increasing amount of evidence that the strain diversity of pathogens, and their interplay with the host immune system, can play a large role in shaping the dynamics of epidemics. Here, we introduce a disease model with an underlying genotype network to account for two important mechanisms. One, the disease can mutate along network pathways as it spreads in a host population. Two, the genotype network allows us to define a genetic distance across strains and therefore to model the transcendence of immunity often observed in real world pathogens. We study the emergence of epidemics in this model, through its epidemic phase transitions, and highlight the role of the genotype network in driving cyclicity of diseases, large scale fluctuations, sequential epidemic transitions, as well as localization around specific strains of the associated pathogen. More generally, our model illustrates the richness of behaviours that are possible even in well-mixed host populations once we consider strain diversity and go beyond the "one disease equals one pathogen" paradigm.

description: Abstract Bromus Tectorum is an invasive plant species known to reduce abundance of native perennial grasses, increase fire frequency and intensity, decrease animal performance, and alter microbial communities and ecosystem processes. Specifically, in the Intermountain West, Bromus has been associated with decreases in livestock performance. Land managers use several methods to control invasion, but no previous studies fully integrate the dynamic interaction between control methods and the biophysical behavior of Bromus invasion. This research uses dynamic programming in conjunction with a process based ecological model to solve for optimal management strategies of Bromus invasion. The model represents biological responses to different management strategies given exogenous land, animal, and weather characteristics. The model is solved for both finite and infinite time horizons. This research tests the hypotheses that it is not always optimal to manage Bromus invasions, but more realistically, invasions should only be managed in specific instances. Moreover, the control sets that constitute optimal responses to Bromus invasion depend entirely on the specifics of each instance.

description: This research furthers the assessment of consumer demand for locally produced foods, while also considering a host of other food attributes that may interact to influence consumer utility. Using stated preference data from a choice-based conjoint analysis survey instrument, we estimate willingness-to-pay for processed food products (blackberry jam) that are differentiated with respect to their branding, the location of their production, certification as organically produced, branding as a product of a small family farming association, and carrying a State Proud certification. Although price is the most important single attribute influencing consumer choice for our sample, consumers also were willing to pay more for food products produced in their state or in a well identified multistate region. Our sample was more willing to purchase organic products, although there was an indication of some confusion as to the meaning of the NOP organic logo. Our results also supported the notion that consumers are willing to support small family farms with purchases if the product is clearly labeled as a product of small farms. These conclusions have important is significant has important policy and merchandising strategy implications.

description: Abstract: This paper examines the factors that influence earned income of organic farmers given their decisions to engage in local selling. The model explicitly accounts for the sorting of producers across different levels of commitment to local sales on the basis of both observable and unobservable heterogeneity. The significant selectivity coefficients confirm that when producers choose to market organic products primarily through local outlets, earnings are overestimated (biased upward) if the selectivity corrections are neglected. Positive selection effects are present for farmers most intensively involved in local sales, contributing to higher earnings on average for these producers.

description: X-ray luminosity function derived from observations of X-ray sources in galactic bulges can be explained by prinicipal evolutionary relations for mass accretion rate onto the compact object. The observed mean distribution of individual X-ray luminosities of galactic LMXB is satisfactorily described by a symmetric quasi-Lorentzian curve. The flux variance for bright sources is found to be proportional to the mean luminosity. Such a distribution does not change the slope of the power law luminosity function of the source population, which is expected from the dependence of the mass transfer rate on the mass of the Roche-lobe filling non-degenerate optical component.
