description: An efficient method for the synthesis of benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles via montmorillonite KSF clay catalyzed condensation reaction between 2-aminophenols or 2-aminothiophenols and β-diketones is reported. The efficiency of the reaction reflects from the wide substrate scope with electronic differentiation on aryls. The reaction is metal free and proceeds without the exclusion of air or moisture, and further the catalyst can be recycled up to 3–5 catalytic cycles.

description: This study applies the System-Wide approach to demand estimation to U.S. tomato import data to obtain demand sensitivity measure (elasticities) estimates for this commodity. Using the Rotterdam model as a parametrization of the System-Wide approach, a demand model is estimated for monthly aggregated tomato imports from Mexico, Canada, and the rest of world; as well as the U.S. domestic tomato production. Significant estimates for income and own-price and cross-elasticities measures are found for tomatoes from all countries. All tomatoes are found to be own-price inelastic. U.S. and Mexico tomatoes are found to be expenditure elastic, while tomatoes from Canada and the rest of the world are found to be expenditure inelastic. This suggests a low sensitivity of demand for U.S. consumers with respect changes in tomato own-price, regardless of country of origin; while for the case of U.S. and Mexico demand will increase if U.S. tomato expenditure rises, and demand will decrease for Canada and rest of the world tomatoes if U.S. tomato expenditure rises. Additionally a variant of the Rotterdam model is estimated to study the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the demand for tomatoes, using monthly data for nominal exchange rates between the U.S. and Mexico, and the U.S. and Canada it is found in both cases, that increased U.S. Dollar strength with respect to the currency of either country will result in increased imports.

description: Experiments performed on a wide range of glassy materials display many interesting phenomena, such as aging behavior. In recent years, a large body of experiments probed this nonequilibrium glassy dynamics through elaborate protocols, in which external parameters are shifted, or cycled in the course of the experiment. We review here these protocols, as well as experimental and numerical results. Then, we critically discuss various theoretical approaches put forward in this context. Emphasis is put more on the generality of the phenomena than on a specific system. Experiments are also suggested.

Mesophleps geodes

description: Mesophleps geodes -group
 Labial palpus segment 2 broadly triangular, 3 upturned at right angles or porrect and obscured in 2. Forewing with moderate pterostigma basad of R 1, R 3 approximated to common stalk of R 4+5 +M 1, M 3 and CuA 1 connate or stalked; hind wing with R 1 present, anastomosed with Sc near base of wing, Rs+M 1 on long common stalk, M 3 and CuA 1 approximated at base. Forewing uniformly dark brown, unmarked, or grey with more or less distinct markings. Pregenital abdomen with TIV–VIII (in female TIV–VII) with very broad, medially indented band of microtrichia (Figs 16, 19–20).
 Genitalia ♂ (Figs 82, 83). Uncus sub-rectangular or distally rounded and medially constricted; gnathos arms medially fused to single hook, valva simple. Phallus straight, with moderately swollen base, evenly tapered to sharp point or angled in middle with abruptly narrowed distal portion.
 Genitalia º (Figs 110, 111, 141, 142). Papillae anales sub-rectangular, width about three-times length, apophyses posteriores less than twice length of apophyses anteriores. Ostium bursae membranous; ductus bursae of moderate length; ductus seminalis from ductus or cervix bursae.
 Remarks. Despite several specializations such as the unusual genitalia we believe that geodes is merely a specialized member of the same clade and consequently synonymize the genus Bucolarcha Meyrick with Mesophleps on account of the abdominal bands of microtrichia, and the larval biology (seed feeder in the pods of leguminous trees).
 The two species placed in this group differ from each other in many characters but are tentatively placed together because they uniquely share the broad band of microtrichia on abdominal TVIII of the male (elsewhere in Mesophleps only on TIV–VII) and, in the female, the unusually broad papillae anales.
 Biology. Host-plants: Leguminosae (Mimosoideae).
 Distribution (Figs 23, 24). South Africa, Malawi, Namibia, Kenya, Pakistan, India.

Labial palpus recurved, segment 2 with large, sub-triangular, anteriorly-directed tuft, 3 long, recurved. Fore wing ochreous yellow, fuscous or grey, with or without indistinct markings. Pregenital abdomen with transverse bands of microtrichia on anterior margins of TIV–VII (Fig. 22); segments VIII (♂) and VII (♀) usually unremarkable.
 Genitalia ♂ (Figs 84–86). Uncus variable, long, tapered or sub-rectangular; gnathos arms connate or fused to one; tegumen unremarkable, sometimes long, anterior margin concave, pedunculi simple, curved; valva simple; vinculum distally broad, posterior margin more strongly sclerotized medially, notched or extended to pair of bumps or processes; phallus typical of genus.
 Genitalia ♀ (Figs 10, 112–117, 143–149). Papillae anales specialized, long, narrow, well sclerotized, moderately set with relatively short sensory setae; apophyses posteriores and anteriores long; antrum variable, sometimes with long, narrow sclerotization; ductus bursae narrow, at most length of apophyses anteriores, corpus bursae large, oval to elongate, ductus seminalis from cervix bursae near entrance of ductus bursae, surface of cervix bursae set with microtrichia.
 Remarks. Most of the fifteen Australian species placed in Xerometra Meyrick, 1904, in the Australian checklist (Edwards 1996: 108) are closely related and constitute a distinct species-group within Mesophleps. However, the type-species X. crocina Meyrick, 1904, is not part of this group but is referable to the M. palpigera -group. One species, X. mesophracta (Turner 1919), has to be removed to Gelechiidae, Anomologinae, although no suitable genus can currently be suggested. X. acromelas (Turner 1919) is here transferred to Pycnobathra Lower, 1901, whilst Ypsolophus argonota Lower, 1901, is transferred from Pycnobathra (in the Australian list incorrectly placed as a junior synonym of Megacraspedus Zeller, 1839) to Mesophleps. The genus Megacraspedus is restricted to the Palaearctic Region and is not represented in the Australian fauna. The generic position of M. calamogonus Meyrick, 1886, from New Zealand and M. serica Meyrick, 1909, from South Africa is uncertain, but neither belongs to Megacraspedus.
 Biology. Host-plant unknown.

description: Prefabricated construction presents numerous advantages over traditional on-site building methods, including sustainability, safety, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, the progression of prefabricated construction faces limitations due to fragmented information, lack of real-time data, and transparency issues within the supply chain management process. Emerging technologies like blockchain offer decentralized, traceable, and immutable features, positioning it as a viable platform for transparent and trustworthy transactions. The proven effectiveness of blockchain technology in enhancing information sharing and management across various industries underscores its potential to significantly improve the entire project lifecycle within the construction sector. This research endeavours to integrate blockchain technology into the supply chain management process of prefabricated construction, aiming to rectify issues related to information fragmentation, lack of traceability, real-time constraints, and delayed payments. The study was executed in four distinct stages to achieve its objectives. [...]

 Biology. Adults: wingspan 16-20 mm. Adults fly from July to September; in north-eastern Sicily we observed adults from June to September. It flies among grass at dusk; our specimens were captured at light during the night. Larval host plant: probably monophagous on Misopates orontium (L.) Rafin. (Scrophulariaceae).
 Range in Italy. Piedmont, Latium; Sardinia; Sicily (new record).
 Distribution. Mediterranean-Macaronesian.
 Remark. In the Italian checklist (ARENBERGER et al. 1995), S. grisescens is indicated as a synonym of S. arida (Zeller, 1847) (type locality: Messina); the latter species is widespread in the entire peninsula and on the islands. BIGOT & PICARD (2002) considered S. grisescens as a valid species and gave a key to identify the species belonging to the grisescens group (S. grisescens, S. mariaeluisae Bigot & Picard, 2002, S. inopinata Bigot & Picard, 2002, and S. gallobritannidactyla Gibeaux, 1985); the key is based on the characters of the male uncus and the ostium bursae and post-vaginal lamella of females. However, GIELIS (2003) still indicated S. grisescens as a synonym of S. arida. ARENBERGER (2005) agreed with BIGOT & PICARD (2002) in considering S. grisescens a valid species, and confirmed its presence in Italy in Piedmont, Latium, and Sardinia. TREMATERRA et al. (2006) reported S. grisescens from Molise and considered it by mistake as a new record for Italy. ARENBERGER (2005) confirmed the presence of S. arida in Latium, Liguria and Sicily. However, most of the records of S. arida from Italy should be verified. Our data demonstrate the presence of S. grisescens in Sicily; the characters of the genitalia for both males and females are as described by NEL (2003) and ARENBERGER (2005).

description: Mobile web technology enables discriminatory, or personalized, pricing for many more consumer good categories than has traditionally been the case. Setting prices according to individual valuations, however, generates adverse consumer reaction un- less consumers are invited to participate in the price-formation process. Consumer perceptions of price fairness are key to the sustainability of any discriminatory pric- ing regime. Perceptions of price fairness, in turn, are hypothesized to be shaped by "self-interested inequity aversion" in which prices tend to be regarded as unfair, and purchase probabilities fall, if others are perceived to pay a lower price, while prices tend to be regarded as more fair, and consumers more likely to purchase, if inequity is in the buyers favor. Our experimental data also shows that the implications of inequity aversion for sellers can be at least partially reversed if consumers are allowed to par- ticipate in the price-formation process by negotiating the price they pay. The primary implication of our ndings is that, in order to be viable, any system of discriminatory pricing for consumer goods should invite consumers to have a stake in the price they pay. Such participatory pricing may provide one way out of the current trap of Hi-Lo, or promotional, pricing that neither retailers nor manufacturers regard as sustainable.

description: USDA situation and outlook information contributes to the efficient operation of agricultural commodity markets. But, traders cannot adjust their price or uncertainty expectations to information that they do not have. In 2013, the USDA curtailed the publication of its crop report for the first time since the nineteenth century due to an appropriations lapse. We examine corn and soybean derivatives data around the scheduled October 2013 WASDE and find that markets for these commodities did not display characteristic patterns in terms of uncertainty resolution and price changes that are normally observed around scheduled USDA release times. We then construct the path that corn and soybean implied volatility would have taken if an average October report had been published. Although we do estimate significant announcement effects (in terms of uncertainty resolution and price adjustment) after the first report that was issued by USDA following the shutdown, we are unable to detect that it carried any enhanced effects.

 Biology. Adults: wingspan 18-19 mm. In north-eastern Sicily the species flies from June to September and can be observed up to ca. 1,200 m a.s.l. It flies at dusk, together with S. grisescens, hiding in grass if disturbed; some specimens were collected at a light trap. Larval host plant: probably monophagous on Kickxia spuria (L.) Dumort. (Scrophulariaceae).
 Range in Italy. Friuli Venezia Giulia; Latium; Sicily (new record).
 Distribution. Holo-Mediterranean.
 Remark. NEL (2003) and ARENBERGER (2005) considered S. mariaeluisae a valid species and ARENBERGER (2005) found it in Friuli Venezia Giulia and Latium. On the other hand, GIELIS (2003) considers it a synonym of S. arida. As stated above, all records of S. arida from Italy should be checked. Our findings confirm the presence of S. mariaeluisae in Sicily; the characters of male and female genitalia are identical to those described by BIGOT & PICARD (2002) for the holotype and the allotype; see also NEL (2003) and ARENBERGER (2005).

description: We report on the highly variable and erratic long-term X-ray luminosity behavior of the only known accretion-driven millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 during its 2000 outburst, as observed with RXTE. The maximum observed luminosity is ~2.5 x 10^35 erg s^-1 (3-25 keV; for a distance of 2.5 kpc), which is a factor of ~10 lower than that observed during the 1996 and 1998 outbursts. Due to solar constraints, the source could not be observed for several months with RXTE before 21 Jan. 2000. Therefore, the exact moment of the outburst onset is unknown and the peak luminosity could have been significantly higher. On some occasions SAX J1808.4-3658 was observed with luminosities of ~10^35 erg s^-1, but on other occasions it could not be detected with RXTE resulting in upper limits of a few times 10^33 erg s^-1 (3-25 keV). The non-detections of the source during its 2000 outburst obtained with BeppoSAX demonstrate that its luminosity was at times <10^32 erg s^-1 (0.5-10 keV). However, only a few days after these BeppoSAX observations, we detected the source again with RXTE at high luminosities, giving a factor of >1000 of luminosity swings in this system on time scales of days. The last detection of SAX J1808.4-3658 with RXTE was on 2000 May 13, almost 4 months after the first detection. Due to the lack of sensitivity and observations during the 1996 and 1998 outbursts, it cannot be excluded that after those outbursts the source remained active for months and that the source behavior during the 2000 outburst is not unique. Long duration activity at low luminosities has been observed in other transients (both neutron stars and black holes), although not with such extreme variability which might point to a different origin for this behavior for the pulsar.

description: The state of Florida has a large complex of agricultural and natural resource industries which produce a wide array of food, fiber and mineral products, and associated services. Florida's subtropical climate and abundant water resources provide a comparative advantage for production of high-valued products such as citrus, sugar, vegetables, and ornamental plants. The state also is a leading producer of forest products, seafood, livestock and animal products, and phosphatic fertilizers. For many of these commodities, production is closely integrated with manufacturing and service activities. This report reviews the historical economic trends in Florida's agricultural and natural resource sectors and estimates their total economic impact using the IMPLAN input-output modeling system. Direct impacts of the agricultural and natural resource industries in 1997 included $31.4 billion (8) in industry output (sales), $18.28 in exports from the state, $12.38 in total value added, and 314,000 jobs. The direct employment and value added represented 3.9 percent and 3.3 percent of the entire Florida economy, respectively. Total impacts, reflecting the multiplier effects of exports, local final demand, intermediate demand of other industries, and personal consumption expenditures of industry employees, were estimated at $49.28 in industry output, $23.88 in valueadded, and 544,000 jobs. Results are detailed for 102 individual industry sectors and 11 major industry groups including fruits and vegetables, sugar and confectionary products, field crops, dairy products, livestock and meat products, forest products, seafood products, other food and tobacco products, ornamental plants and landscape services, agricultural inputs and services, and mining.

description: In this article we consider the ergodic optimization for hyperbolic flows and Lorenz attractors with respect to both continuous and Holder continuous observables. In the context of hyperbolic flows we prove that a Baire generic subset of continuous observables have a unique maximizing measure, with full support and zero entropy, and that a Baire generic subset of Holder continuous observables admit a unique and periodic maximizing measure. These results rely on a relation between ergodic optimization for suspension semiflows and ergodic optimization for the Poincaré map with respect to induced observables, which allow us to reduce the problem for the context of maps. Using that singular-hyperbolic attractors are approximated by hyperbolic sets, we obtain related results for geometric Lorenz attractors.

description: Vibrational spectroscopy, comprised of infrared absorption and Raman scattering spectroscopy, is widely used for label-free optical sensing and imaging in various scientific and industrial fields. The group theory states that the two molecular spectroscopy methods are sensitive to vibrations categorized in different point groups and provide complementary vibrational spectra. Therefore, complete vibrational information cannot be acquired by a single spectroscopic device, which has impeded the full potential of vibrational spectroscopy. Here, we demonstrate simultaneous infrared absorption and Raman scattering spectroscopy that allows us to measure the complete broadband vibrational spectra in the molecular fingerprint region with a single instrument based on an ultrashort pulsed laser. The system is based on dual-modal Fourier-transform spectroscopy enabled by efficient use of nonlinear optical effects. Our proof-of-concept experiment demonstrates rapid, broadband and high spectral resolution measurements of complementary spectra of organic liquids for precise and accurate molecular analysis.

description: Terrestrial planetary systems may exist around nearby stars as the Earth-sized counterparts to the many giant planets already discovered within the solar neighborhood. In this chapter we first discuss the numerous techniques which have been suggested to search for extrasolar terrestrial planets. We then focus on the expected results from that technique in which an orbiting telescope or interferometer is used to obtain a visible or infrared spectrum of a planet, without contamination from the parent star. We show examples of such spectra for selected cases: the present Earth, the Neoproterozoic (snowball) Earth, a methane-rich Earth, and the present Mars and Venus. We conclude by discussing the implications of such spectra for the detection of life on an extrasolar terrestrial planet.

description: What are the Fate and Effects of Micro-/Nano-Plastics on Human Health? The main goal of PlasticsFatE (Plastics Fate and Effects in the Human Body) is to
 improve our present understanding of the impact of micro- and nano-plastics (MP/NP)
 and associated additives/adsorbed contaminants (A/C) in the human body. Human
 exposure to MP/NP may result from the widespread use of plastic products and their
 release to the environment, where they degrade to MP/NP particles. But plastics
 particles reach human and natural systems also as secondary by-products, e.g., from
 tyre wear or abrasion of textiles. These particles are found in food, drinking water, air
 and environmental media (food chain, soils). Despite recent efforts to assess human
 risks associated with MP/NP, our current knowledge is still insufficient. One reason is
 the lack of reliable and validated methods able to generate the science-based data we
 need. PlasticsFatE will address this challenge and associated uncertainties by implementing
 a comprehensive measurement and testing program ("test the test"), including
 inter-laboratory studies, to improve and validate the performance and applicability of
 available methods and tools to MP/NP. The tested and validated approaches will be
 used to (1) identify and detect MP/NP and A/C in a variety of complex matrices, such
 as food and beverages, human tissues, and consumer products as well as relevant
 environmental media (air, drinking water, soils), and to (2) assess their (also long-term)
 fate and toxicity in the human body by using advanced cell culture and organ models
 that simulate real exposure to MP/NP in the respiratory and gastro-intestinal tracts.
 PlasticsFatE is part of the newly built “European MNP cluster on human health” that
 will support various relevant European strategies for plastics, such as the European
 Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy.
Matching quantum string corrections and circular Wilson loops in $AdS_4 \times CP^3$

description: Recent progresses in the computation of quantum string corrections to holographic Wilson loops are extended to the case of strings in $AdS_{4}\times CP^{3}$. For this, the ratio of 1/2-BPS circular and 1/6-BPS latitude fermionic Wilson loops in ABJM is considered at strong coupling by studying the corresponding semiclassical string partition functions. Explicit evaluation of fluctuation determinants using phaseshifts and diffeomorphism invariant regulators leads to exact matching with the recent field theory proposal. Key to this computation is the choice of boundary conditions for massless fermions. In the limit for which the latitude Wilson loop has a trivial expectation value, the long known localization result for the 1/2-BPS fermionic circular Wilson loop in ABJM is recovered.

description: Mott insulator superconductor transition, via pressure and no external doping, is studied in orbitally non degenerate spin-\half systems. It is presented as another RVB route to high \tc superconductivity. We propose a `strong coupling' hypothesis which helps to view first order Mott transition as a self doping process that also preserves superexchange on metal side . We present a generalized t-J model where a conserved $N_0$ doubly occupied ($e^-$) sites and $N_0$ empty sites ($e^+$) hop in the background of $N - 2 N_0$ singly singly occupied (neutral) sites in a lattice of N sites. An equivalence to the regular t-J model is made and some old and new systems are predicted to be candidates for pressure induced high \tc superconductivity.

 Biology. Adults: wingspan 17-24 mm. The adults fly from April to October. In north-eastern Sicily they have been collected in June and September. This species is attracted by artificial light but is easier to find at sunset on Marrubium vulgare. The pupae are very hairy with a cryptic appearance, and are thus hardly recognizable on the host plants. Larval host plants: Marrubium vulgare L. and Ballota nigra L. (Lamiaceae).
 Range in Italy. Trentino Alto-Adige; Molise; Sardinia; Sicily (new record).
 Distribution. Euro-Mediterranean. Introduced in the 1990s to Australia to control Marrubium vulgare, taken there in the early 19th century.
 Remarks. Male genitalia are similar to those in specimens from Spain (ARENBERGER 1995), Great Britain (GIELIS 1996), and France (NEL 2003).

 Genitalia ♂ (Fig. 84). Uncus rectangular, length about twice its width. Gnathos broad-based, arms fused but distally divided again and almost reaching apex of uncus. Tegumen long, slim, narrowest at base, pedunculi curved. Vinculum very long, downturned distal part about one quarter its total length; sclerotized posterior margin medially emarginated between pair of short projections. Phallus basally swollen, apical portion straight.
 Genitalia ♀ (Figs 10, 144). Papillae anales long, narrow, about two thirds length of apophyses posteriores, sparsely setose. Segment VIII short, ostium bursae near anterior margin, antrum with long, thin sclerotization; ductus bursae straight, narrow, short, about two-thirds length of apophyses anteriores; corpus bursae large, ovoid, inception of ductus seminalis in large patch of microtrichia (“signum”) near entrance of ductus bursae.
 Remarks. P. tetrachroa was described from an unspecified number of specimens (both sexes) collected by Lower at Broken Hill in October at light. In coll. Lower (SAM, Adelaide) there are 16 specimens from Broken Hill, probably including syntypes, but no specimen bears a name label or is indicated as type. Collecting data written in red above the printed ‘Broken Hill’ are mostly illegible because the paper has turned greasy; specimens with data written in black ink were collected after the original description.

description: Inverse kinematics is a fundamental problem for articulated robots: fast and accurate algorithms are needed for translating task-related workspace constraints and goals into feasible joint configurations. In general, inverse kinematics for serial kinematic chains is a difficult nonlinear problem, for which closed form solutions cannot be easily obtained. Therefore, computationally efficient numerical methods that can be adapted to a general class of manipulators are of great importance. % to motion planning and workspace generation tasks. In this paper, we use convex optimization techniques to solve the inverse kinematics problem with joint limit constraints for highly redundant serial kinematic chains with spherical joints in two and three dimensions. This is accomplished through a novel formulation of inverse kinematics as a nearest point problem, and with a fast sum of squares solver that exploits the sparsity of kinematic constraints for serial manipulators. Our method has the advantages of post-hoc certification of global optimality and a runtime that scales polynomialy with the number of degrees of freedom. Additionally, we prove that our convex relaxation leads to a globally optimal solution when certain conditions are met, and demonstrate empirically that these conditions are common and represent many practical instances. Finally, we provide an open source implementation of our algorithm.

COSMOCR: A Numerical Code for Cosmic Ray Studies in Computational Cosmology
Creators: name: Miniati, Francesco
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present COSMOCR, a numerical code for the investigation of cosmic ray related studies in computational cosmology. The code follows the diffusive shock acceleration, the mechanical and radiative energy losses and the spatial transport of the supra-thermal particles in cosmic environment. Primary cosmic ray electrons and ions are injected at shocks according to the thermal leakage prescription. Secondary electrons are continuously injected as a results of p-p inelastic collisions of primary cosmic ray ions and thermal background nuclei. The code consists of a conservative, finite volume method with a power-law sub-grid model in momentum space. Two slightly different schemes are implemented depending on the stiffness of the cooling terms. Comparisons of numerical results with analytical solution for a number of tests of direct interest show remarkable performance of the present code.

Tracking the time-evolution of the electron distribution function in Copper by femtosecond broadband optical spectroscopy
Creators: name: Obergfell, Manuel

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: Multi-temperature models are nowadays often used to quantify the ultrafast electron-phonon (boson) relaxations and coupling strengths in advanced quantum solids. To test their applicability we study the time evolution of the electron distribution function, f(E), in Cu over large range of excitation densities using broadband time-resolved optical spectroscopy. Following intraband optical excitation, f(E) is found to be athermal over several 100 fs, while substantial part of the absorbed energy already being transferred to the lattice. We show, however, that the electron-phonon coupling constant can still be obtained using the two-temperature model analysis, provided that the data are analyzed over the time-window, when the electrons are already quasi thermal, and the electronic temperature is determined experimentally.
