Atrichopogon downesi

description: Atrichopogon (Meloehelea) downesi Wirth
 Atrichopogon (Meloehelea) downesi Wirth, 1980: 129 (West Virginia); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 6 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).
 Discussion. Females in the subgenus Meloehelea Wirth of Atrichopogon are ectoparasites of blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) and other closely related beetle families (Wirth 1980). However, Wilkening et al. (1985) noted that “…undescribed species probably occur in Florida. Florida material in this subgenus has not been studied and we have no records.” Borkent and Grogan (2009) listed six species in the subgenus Meloehelea in North America north of Mexico, including A. (M.) ladislavi Tóthová that was recently described from Ontario, Canada (Tóthová et al. 2009). The most common and widespread species of Meloehelea in North America, A. (M.) downesi Wirth, ranges from Minnesota to Nova Scotia, south to North Carolina and Tennessee (Borkent and Grogan 2009).
 We discovered a female from Liberty Co., Florida in the FSCA that we determined as A. (M.) downesi in Wirth’s (1980) key as well as the updated key to Holarctic species in the subgenus Meloehelea by Tóthová et al. (2009). This Florida specimen is virtually identical with four female paratypes of A. downesi from Virginia and Maryland as well as three other females from Wicomico Co., Maryland and a female from Hocking Co., Ohio (WLGC). This is the first Florida record of this species, and it suggests that it may be more widely distributed in the southeastern United States than previous records indicate.

description: In our article we present a computational model for the simulation of self-propelled anisotropic bacteria. To this end we use a self-propelled particle model and augment it with a statistical algorithm for the run-and-tumble motion. We derive an equation for the distribution of reorientations of the bacteria that we use to analyze the statistics of the random walk and that allows us to tune the behavior of our model to the characteristics of an E.coli bacterium. We validate our implementation in terms of a single swimmer and demonstrate that our model is capable of reproducing E.coli's run-and-tumble motion with excellent accuracy.

description: We explore the scenario where the core of a neutron star (having experienced a transition to an up and down quark phase) shrinks into the equilibrated quark object after reaching strange quark matter saturation density (where a composition of up, down and strange quarks is the favored state of matter). The overlaying (envelope) material free-falls following the core contraction releasing upto 10^{53} {\rm ergs} in energy as radiation, partly as a result of the conversion of envelope material to quarks. This phenomena, we named Quark-Nova, leads to a wide variety of ejectae ranging form the Newtonian, "dirty" to the ultra-relativistic fireball. The mass range of the corresponding compact remnant (the quark star) ranges from less than 0.3M_{\odot} up to a solar mass. We discuss the connection between Quark-Novae and Gamma ray bursts and suggest the recently studied GRB011211 event as a plausible Quark-Nova candidate.

description: The effect of food standards on agricultural trade flows remains unclear. We contribute to the debate with a unique dataset that contains the number of food processing firms of 88 countries from 2008 to 2013 that are certified with the International Featured Standard (IFS). Based on a theoretical framework that combines Melitz-type firm heterogeneity with quality upgrading, we estimate a gravity-model using the one-year lag of IFS as well as modern grocery distribution as an Instrument to address potential endogeneity. We find that IFS increases c.p. bilateral exports on average of seven agricultural product categories in both specifications. However, the effect remains only for upper- and middle-income countries once we separate by income and turns even negative for low income countries in the IV-specification. Hence, whereas IFS increases exports on average, it has a trade-impeding effect for low-income countries. Therefore, private standards are not a sufficient development policy tool to integrate low-income countries to the world trading system without being accompanied by other measures.

Mechanisms and methods for synergistic improvement of sustainable farming in post-globalisation
Creators: name: Hernandez Ortega, Jesus Ernesto
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Globalisation revolutionised global food availability by overcoming seasonal and geographical barriers, yet it imposed significant social and environmental costs. With the transition from globalisation to localisation and national priorities, a rethinking of future food production systems is vital.

Farming provides food while significantly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, both directly through cultivation practices and land-use changes, and indirectly via energy consumption for activities like transportation and services.

The traditional research approaches focus on single aspects that are insufficient for addressing the complex challenges of sustainable agriculture. Integrative strategies are urgently needed to synergistically enhance crop yield, quality, resource efficiency, workers safety and environmental quality. These advancements could also help integrate agriculture with biorefineries, thereby diminishing dependency on fossil fuels.

This study identifies three key focus areas:

The Use of Smart Biofertilisers: these are underutilised biomasses such as noxious algae (e.g., Sargassum) and arid plants can reduce CO2 emissions and mitigate environmental damage caused by invasive biomass.

Enhancing the Nutrients Cycle: these are strategies for sustainable modification and rapid decomposition of straw to recycle its nutrients. Biofertilisers can improve microbial root environments, enabling cleaner, energy-efficient biodegradation of straw while boosting crop yield, quality, and efficiency.

Computer Systems for SMART Farming: Advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and machine learning, can facilitate Self-Monitoring, Mechanised, Analysis, and Real-Time (SMART) decision-making systems. These systems enable precise environmental assessments to optimise farming practices for carbon neutrality and climate risk mitigation.

The harmonised integration of biofertilisers, nutrient reuse, and SMART farming technologies offers a transformative pathway to sustainable agriculture. Such synergistic approaches promise substantial improvements in yield, efficiency, and climate resilience, supporting a sustainable post-globalisation era.

description: We study the temporal and coarse spectral properties of 268 bursts from SGR 1806-20 and 679 bursts from SGR 1900+14, all observed with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer/Proportional Counter Array. Hardness ratios and temporal parameters, such as T_90 durations and tau_90 emission times are determined for these bursts. We find a lognormal distribution of burst durations, ranging over more than two orders of magnitude: T_90 ~ 10^-2 to >~ 1 s, with a peak at ~ 0.1 s. The burst light curves tend to be asymmetrical, with more than half of all events showing rise times t_r < 0.3 T_90. We find that there exists a correlation between the duration and fluence of bursts from both sources. We also find a significant anti-correlation between hardness ratio and fluence for SGR 1806-20 bursts and a marginal anti-correlation for SGR 1900+14 events. Finally, we discuss possible physical implications of these results within the framework of the magnetar model.

Galaxy evolution in groups at intermediate redshift from the MUSE galaxies Groups In Cosmos survey
Creators: name: Epinat, Benoit
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: MAGIC (Muse gAlaxy Groups In Cosmos) is a 100h MUSE-GTO survey aiming at understanding the impact of environment on galaxy evolution. It targets 15 massive groups at 0.3-z-0.8, identified in the zCOSMOS and VVDS VIMOS surveys, probing spatially resolved properties of galaxies down to low mass (~10^8 Msun) but also the intra-group medium. After introducing MAGIC, I will present a first analysis of the ionised gas kinematic of galaxies in these groups which shows that the Tully-Fisher relation evolves due to quenching and contraction (Abril-Melgarejo+21). I will explain how MUSE observations led to the first detection of very extended ionised gas nebulae within groups, associated to processes such as tidal interactions, AGN feedback, shocks (Epinat+18) and ram pressure stripping (Boselli+19) at z~0.7. I will conclude by discussing the implications of these results on galaxy evolution, on the quenching of starformation in dense environments and on the build-up of the Hubble sequence.

This charge-density localization moves with a velocity of gapless linear spin-wave mode and could be easily observed experimentally. We claim that mentioned Goldstone mode kink-solitons define diffusionless charge transport properties in double layer quantum Hall systems.

The Connection Between Galaxy Star Formation Rates and HII Region Electron Densities at 0 < z < 2.6
Creators: name: Davies, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: The rapid decline in the average star formation activity of galaxies from z~2.6 to z~0 is accompanied by an order of magnitude decrease in the typical electron densities of HII regions. However, it is unclear what connects the pc-scale properties of the line-emitting gas with the global properties of the host galaxies. I will summarize unique new results from a study of 611 galaxies at 0 < z < 2.6, drawn primarily from the KMOS^3D and SAMI surveys. We measure both the local electron density of the lineemitting gas and the volume-averaged electron density across the starforming disks at four different redshifts, yielding unique constraints on the volume filling factor and evolving spatial distribution of ionized gas in HII regions. We compare our measurements to quantitative predictions to evaluate whether the electron density evolution is most likely to be driven by changes in the strength of stellar feedback, the molecular cloud density, and/or the hydrostatic equilibrium pressure.

description: Trigonometric parallax determinations are presented for 28 late type dwarfs and brown dwarfs, including eight M dwarfs with spectral types between M7 and M9.5, 17 L dwarfs with spectral types between L0 and L8, and three T dwarfs. Broadband photometry at CCD wavelengths (VRIz) and/or near-IR wavelengths (JHK) are presented for these objects and for 24 additional late-type dwarfs. Supplemented with astrometry and photometry from the literature, including ten L and two T dwarfs with parallaxes established by association with bright, usually HIPPARCOS primaries, this material forms the basis for studying various color-color and color-absolute magnitude relations. The I-J color is a good predictor of absolute magnitude for late-M and L dwarfs. M_J becomes monotonically fainter with I-J color and with spectral type through late-L dwarfs, then brightens for early-T dwarfs. The combination of zJK colors alone can be used to classify late-M, early-L, and T dwarfs accurately, and to predict their absolute magnitudes, but is less effective at untangling the scatter among mid- and late-L dwarfs. The mean tangential velocity of these objects is found to be slightly less than that for dM stars in the solar neighborhood, consistent with a sample with a mean age of several Gyr. Using colors to estimate bolometric corrections, and models to estimate stellar radii, effective temperatures are derived. The latest L dwarfs are found to have T_eff ~ 1360 K.

description: We present a new method for modeling tissue perfusion on the capillary scale. The microvasculature is represented by a network of one-dimensional vessel segments embedded in the extra-vascular space. Vascular and extra-vascular space exchange fluid over the vessel walls. This exchange is modeled by distributed sources using smooth kernel functions for the extra-vascular domain. It is shown that the proposed method may significantly improve the approximation of the exchange flux, in comparison with existing methods for mixed-dimension embedded problems. Furthermore, the method exhibits better convergence rates of the relevant quantities due to the increased regularity of the extra-vascular pressure solution. Numerical experiments with a vascular network from the rat cortex show that the error in the approximation of the exchange flux for coarse grid resolution may be decreased by a factor of $3$. This may open the way for computing on larger network domains, where a fine grid resolution cannot be achieved in practical simulations due to constraints in computational resources, for example in the context of uncertainty quantification.

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: The Fundamental Plane (FP), a tight scaling relation between galaxy size, velocity dispersion, and luminosity or stellar mass, provides strong constraints on the formation time and evolution of quiescent galaxies. However, selection biases at high redshift can affect the measured evolution of the FP significantly, and hence the inferred galaxy evolution. The LEGA-C survey has delivered the largest census of galaxy stellar kinematics at z=0.8, comprising a sample of 3000 K-band selected, massive galaxies. Combined with HST imaging, this enables a statistical view of the structural properties of galaxies at z=0.8 and their evolution to the present day. I will discuss the effects of structural and stellar population properties on the FP, and demonstrate that the FP extends to the star-forming population. I will show that, despite strong evolution in the sizes and stellar populations of galaxies, the FP is surprisingly stable to z=1, and discuss the implications for the growth of galaxies.

description: XMM-Newton has been performing comprehensive studies of X-ray bright RS CVn binaries in its Calibration and Guaranteed Time programs. We present results from ongoing investigations in the context of a systematic study of coronal emission from RS CVns. We concentrate in this paper on coronal abundances and investigate the abundance pattern in RS CVn binaries as a function of activity and average temperature. A transition from an Inverse First Ionization Potential (FIP) effect towards an absence of a clear trend is found in intermediately active RS CVn systems. This scheme corresponds well into the long-term evolution from an IFIP to a FIP effect found in solar analogs. We further study variations in the elemental abundances during a large flare.

Using the information given by the wavelet coefficients at several scales, we have performed several statistical tests on the COBE-DMR maps to search for evidence of non-Gaussianity. Skewness, kurtosis, scale-scale correlations (for two and three scales) and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests indicate that the COBE-DMR data are consistent with a Gaussian distribution. We have extended the analysis to compare temperature values provided by COBE-DMR data with distributions (obtained from Gaussian simulations) at each pixel and at each scale. The number of pixels with temperature values outside the 95% and the 99% is consistent with that obtained from Gaussian simulations, at all scales. Moreover, the extrema values for COBE-DMR data (maximum and minimum temperatures in the map) are also consistent with those obtained from Gaussian simulations.

description: We report a detailed study of step-like metamagnetic transitions in the magnetization and resistivity of polycrystalline Pr0.5Ca0.5Mn0.95Co0.05O3. The steps have a sudden onset below a critical temperature, are extremely sharp (width < 0.2 mT), and occur at critical fields which are linearly dependent on the absolute value of the cooling field in which the sample is prepared. Similar transitions are also observed at low temperature in non-Co doped manganites, including single crystal samples. These data show that the steps are an intrinsic property, qualitatively different from either previously observed higher temperature metamagnetic transitions in the manganites or metamagnetic transitions observed in other materials.

description: An optical spectroscopy of an unusual fast transient V4641 Sgr constrains its mass to 8.7-11.7M_sun (9.6M_sun is the best fit value) and the distance to 7.4--12.3 kpc (Orosz et al. 2001). At this distance the peak flux of 12 Crab in the 2--12 keV energy band, measured by ASM/RXTE, implies the X-ray luminosity exceeding 2-3e39 erg/s, i.e. near or above the Eddington limit for a 9.6M_sun black hole. An optical photometry shows that at the peak of the optical outburst the visual magnitude increased by Delta m_V > 4.7^m relative to the quiescent level and reached m_V < 8.8^m. An assumption that this optical emission is due to irradiated surface of an accretion disk or a companion star with the the black body shape of the spectrum would mean that the bolometric luminosity of the system exceeds L>3e41 erg/s > 300 L_Edd. We argue that the optical data strongly suggest presence of an extended envelope surrounding the source which absorbs primary X-rays flux and reemits it in optical and UV. The data also suggests that this envelope should be optically thin in UV, EUV and soft X-rays. The observed properties of V4641 Sgr at the peak of an optical flare are very similar to those of SS433. This envelope is likely the result of near or super Eddington rate of mass accretion onto the black hole and it vanishes during subsequent evolution of the source when apparent luminosity drops well below the Eddington value. Thus this transient source provides us direct proof of the dramatic change in the character of an accretion flow at the mass accretion rate near or above the critical Eddington value as predicted long time ago by the theoretical models.

Observational Constraints on the Feeding of Supermassive Black Holes

description: Supermassive Black Holes grow at the center of galaxies in consonance with them. In this review we discuss the mass feeding mechanisms that lead to this growth in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), focusing on constraints derived from observations of their environment, from extragalactic down to galactic and nuclear scales. At high AGN luminosities, galaxy mergers and interactions play an important role in AGN triggering and feeding. However, gas chaotic cold accretion (CCA) in galaxy clusters can trigger radiatively inefficient AGNs in brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). At lower luminosities, minor mergers feed AGN in early-type, gas-starving galaxies, while secular processes dominate in later-type, gas-rich galaxies. While bars do not appear to directly feed AGNs, AGN flickering leads to the dissociation of small and large scales, hence affecting the interpretation of cause and effect. At ~ 100 pc scales, recent observations have revealed compact disks and inflows along nuclear gaseous spirals and bars, while CCA continues to feed BCGs at these scales. Estimated mass inflow rates - of 0.01 to a few Msun/yr - are in many cases thousand times higher than the mass accretion rate to the supermassive black hole. As a result, 10^6 - 10^9 Msun gas reservoirs can be built on 10^{7-8} yr, that in turn may lead to the formation of new stars and/or be ejected via the onset of AGN feedback.

description: Diffusion of colored dye on water saturated paper substrates has been traditionally exploited with great skill by renowned water color artists. The same physics finds more recent practical applications in paper based diagnostic devices deploying chemicals that react with a bodily fluid yielding colorimetric signals for disease detection. During spontaneous imbibition through the tortuous pathways of a porous electrolyte saturated paper matrix, a dye molecule undergoes diffusion in a complex network of pores. The advancing front forms a strongly correlated interface that propagates diffusively but with an enhanced effective diffusivity. We measure this effective diffusivity and show that it is several orders of magnitude greater than the free solution diffusivity and has a significant dependence on the solution pH and salt concentration in the background electrolyte. We attribute this to electrically mediated interfacial interactions between the ionic species in the liquid dye and spontaneous surface charges developed at porous interfaces, and introduce a simple theory to explain this phenomenon.

description: Clouds of metal-bearing condensates play a critical role in shaping the emergent spectral energy distributions of the coolest classes of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs, L and T dwarfs. Because condensate clouds in planetary atmospheres show distinct horizontal structure, we have explored a model for partly cloudy atmospheres in brown dwarfs. Our model successfully reproduces the colors and magnitudes of both L and T dwarfs for the first time, including the unexpected brightning of the early- and mid-type T dwarfs at J-band, provided that clouds are rapidly removed from the photosphere at T_eff ~ 1200 K. The clearing of cloud layers also explains the surprising persistence and strengthening of gaseous FeH bands in early- and mid-type T dwarfs. The breakup of cloud layers is likely driven by convection in the troposphere, analogous to phenomena observed on Jupiter. Our results demonstrate that planetary-like atmospheric dynamics must be considered when examining the evolution of free-floating brown dwarfs.

X-ray Survey Follow-Up as a Driver of Extragalactic Spectroscopic Surveys
Creators: name: Brandt, William
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Cosmic X-ray surveys over the past two decades have played a critical role in transforming our understanding of distant growing supermassive black holes (SMBHs), a central component of galaxies. They also provide unique insights into normal & starburst galaxies, groups & clusters, and transients. Robust exploitation of the many thousands of X-ray sources detected fundamentally requires large-scale spectroscopic follow-up for redshift determination and source characterization. I will describe successes and challenges specific to spectroscopic follow-up of large samples of X-ray survey sources, and how these have advanced our understanding of SMBH demographics, physics, and ecology. I will also highlight future opportunities with, e.g., 4MOST, MOONS, PFS, and new ambitious X-ray surveys. For example, I will discuss the science potential of spectroscopic follow-up of the large XMM-SERVS survey, which is now providing sensitive XMM-Newton coverage of the LSST Deep Drilling Fields

description: We solve the general problem of determining, through imaging, the three-dimensional positions of $N$ weak incoherent point-like emitters in an arbitrary spatial configuration. We show that a structured measurement strategy in which a linear interferometer feeds into an array of photo-detectors is always optimal for this estimation problem, in the sense that it saturates the quantum Cramér-Rao bound. We provide a method for the explicit construction of the optimal interferometer. Further explicit results for the quantum Fisher information and the optimal interferometer design that attains it are obtained for the case of one and two incoherent emitters in the paraxial regime. This work provides insights into the phenomenon of super-resolution through incoherent imaging that has attracted much attention recently. Our results will find a wide range of applications over a broad spectrum of frequencies, from fluorescence microscopy to stellar interferometry.
