description: First-order logic (FOL) has proved to be a versatile and expressive tool as the basis of abstract modeling languages. Used to verify complex systems with unbounded domains, such as heap-manipulating programs and distributed protocols, FOL, and specifically uninterpreted functions and quantifiers, strike a balance between expressiveness and amenity to automation. However, FOL semantics may differ in important ways from the intended semantics of the modeled system, due to the inability to distinguish between finite and infinite first-order structures, for example, or the undefinability of well-founded relations in FOL. This semantic gap may give rise to spurious states and unreal behaviors, which only exist as an artifact of the first-order abstraction and impede the verification process.
 In this paper we take a step towards bridging this semantic gap. We present an approach for soundly refining the first-order abstraction according to either well-founded semantics or finite-domain semantics, utilizing induction axioms for an abstract order relation, a common primitive in verification. We first formalize sound axiom schemata for each of the aforementioned semantics, based on well-founded induction. Second, we show how to use spurious counter-models, which are necessarily infinite, to guide the instantiation of these axiom schemata. Finally, we present a sound and complete reduction of well-founded semantics and finite-domain semantics to standard semantics in the recently discovered Ordered Self-Cycle (OSC) fragment of FOL, and prove that satisfiability under these semantics is decidable in OSC.
 We implement a prototype tool to evaluate our approach, and test it on various examples where spurious models arise. Our tool quickly finds the necessary axioms to refine the semantics, and successfully completes the verification process.

Type species— Geraldocossus durrelli Yakovlev & Sáfián, sp. nov.
Gender: masculine
Description. Adult (Figs 1–3). Medium sized. Antenna simple, without rami on segments. Eye hairless. Frons width equal to eye diameter. Labial palpi 1.5 Χ shorter that eye diameter. Thorax and abdomen covered with dark scales. Fore wing with rounded apex; black with faintly expressed brown pattern. Hindwing dark grey without pattern. Underside of wings dark, without pattern.
Male genitalia. Uncus narrow, elongated, with a deep notch at apex. Tegumen very large, trapezoid. Gnathos branches thick, short, with strongly sclerotized dorsal surface, apices of gnathos branches strongly thickened and heavily sclerotized, with needle-like spines. Valva short, concave, spoon-like, slightly narrowed apically, heavily sclerotized including apical area, with well expressed sacculus. Juxta of very complicated shape, with three pairs of lateral processes (first pair of long stiletto-like processes diluted at right angle and directed dorsally; second pair of wide leaf-like processes, diluted in different directions; third pair of small tapered processes directed abdominally). Saccus large, cylindrical, directed abdominally. Phallus long (by ¼ longer than valve length), almost straight, vesica aperture in dorsoapical position, its length ¼ of valve length, vesica without cornuti.
Female unknown.
Diagnosis. The new species clearly differs from the known genera of the Politzariellinae by the following features of the male genitalia:
- the needle-like spines at the apices of gnathos branches (Politzariella and Holcoceroides has the gnathos branches
strongly sclerotized without specific processes, fig. 6));
- the absence of the harpe (Politzariella has the warty harpe closer to the costal margin of the valve, see fig. 6;
Holcoceroides has a specific complicated construction of the valve inner surface with the development of large,
strongly sclerotized hooks, see figs 7-8);
- the specific structure of the juxta with three pairs of lateral processes (Politzariella has the juxta with one pair of thin
lateral processes, diluted in different directions, Holcoceroides has the funnel-like juxta without lateral processes,
see figs 7–8).
The most significant apomorphic features of the new genus are: the needle-like processes at the apices of gnathos branches and the specific juxta with three pairs of lateral processes.
Distribution. Cameroon: Mount Cameroon.

description: According to Robin Osborne, OA (gold) mandates misrepresent research publishing by treating articles as products, rather than as parts of a process, involving both thinking and teaching. In such a perspective, Kant's ideas on authors' rights might be worth scrutinizing because they do not depend on a a theory of intellectual property. Therefore, they allows us to see research publishing as part of the process of the public use of reason and to take into account both the concern of the public to access them and the authors' interest to come of age by mastering their relationship with the public. 
description: Robin Osborne critica la versione "gold" dell'accesso aperto per la sua rappresentazione - riduttiva - della pubblicazione accademica come prodotto e non come fase di un processo che comprende, senza soluzione di continuità, l'insegnamento e la ricerca. In questa prospettiva, una teoria del diritto d'autore non fondata sulla proprietà intellettuale - quale quella di Kant - può rendere giustizia alla pubblicazione scientifica come parte di un processo, all'interesse del pubblico ad accedervi e a quello dell'autore a controllare la mediazione del suo rapporto col pubblico da maggiorenne.

Holotype: ♂, Cameroon (SW), PC7, Mount Cameroon (SW slope), PlantiCam (1100 m asl), 09.IV.2015. Coordinates: N 4.1175000°, E 9.0709440°. Leg.: Maicher, V., Sáfián, Sz., Janeček, S., Tropek, R., slide-number Yakovlev-Coss-2016-1 (deposited in MZUJ collection). Paratype: 1 ♂, same data (deposited in MWM).
Description. Adult (Figs. 1–3) Forewing length of holotype and paratype 15 mm. Antennae simple, band-like. Eyes hairless. Frons width equal to eye diameter. Labial palpi 1,5 times shorter that eye diameter. Thorax and abdomen densely covered with dark scales (thorax with brown ones, abdomen with carbon black ones). Tegulae and patagium brown. Fore wing relatively short and wide, with rounded apex. Fore wing dark grey, almost black with poorly expressed pattern of dark strokes and undulated bands, more developed in postdiscal and submarginal areas; with brown margin in discal area; thin, almost straight band from Cu1a string base to border of distal and middle thirds of bottom edge; boundary edge very thin. Fringe of fore wing mottled: black at strings and brown between them. Hind wing dark grey, without pattern, with very thin boundary edge and monochrome grey fringe. Fore wing carbon black on ventral side, with light margin in cubital area. Hindwing grey ventrally.
Male genitalia (Fig. 7): see genus description.
Female: unknown.
Habitat description (Fig. 9–10). The male holotype and the paratype were captured at 1100 m asl., where the forest exhibits a transition between lowland evergreen rainforest to sub-montane forest, although the vegetation type in this altitudinal zone has not been formally classified (Cable & Cheek 1998; Bussmann 2006; Proctor et al. 2007). The forest distribution is often interrupted by large open or semi open areas, lacking larger trees. These open areas are often covered by bracken thickets or grasses, in other areas they are overgrown with thick shrub and younger trees, covered by various species of stranglers. It is possible that these clearings were established through or re-growth of closed canopy forest was prevented by activities of forest elephants, as permanent disturbance was very obvious through broad elephant trails with many broken tree-trunks or entire trees toppled.

description: Due to the global trend towards urbanization, people increasingly move to and live in cities that then continue to grow. Traffic forecasting plays an important role in the intelligent transportation systems of cities as well as in spatio-temporal data mining. State-of-the-art forecasting is achieved by deep-learning approaches due to their ability to contend with complex spatio-temporal dynamics. However, existing methods assume the input is fixed-topology road networks and static traffic time series. These assumptions fail to align with urbanization, where time series are collected continuously and road networks evolve over time. In such settings, deep-learning models require frequent re-initialization and re-training, imposing high computational costs. To enable much more efficient training without jeopardizing model accuracy, we propose the Topological Evolution-aware Framework (TEAM) for traffic forecasting that incorporates convolution and attention. This combination of mechanisms enables better adaptation to newly collected time series, while being able to maintain learned knowledge from old time series. TEAM features a continual learning module based on the Wasserstein metric that acts as a buffer that can identify the most stable and the most changing network nodes. Then, only data related to stable nodes is employed for re-training when consolidating a model. Further, only data of new nodes and their adjacent nodes as well as data pertaining to changing nodes are used to re-train the model. Empirical studies with two real-world traffic datasets offer evidence that TEAM is capable of much lower re-training costs than existing methods are, without jeopardizing forecasting accuracy.

description: Global efforts to eradicate malaria are threatened by multiple factors, particularly the emergence of antimalarial drug resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Heat shock proteins (HSPs), particularly P. falciparum HSPs (PfHSPs), represent promising drug targets due to their essential roles in parasite survival and virulence across the various life cycle stages. Despite structural similarities between human and malarial HSPs posing challenges, there is substantial evidence for subtle differences that could be exploited for selective drug targeting. This review provides an update on the potential of targeting various PfHSP families (particularly PfHSP40, PfHSP70, and PfHSP90) and their interactions within PfHSP complexes as a strategy to develop new antimalarial drugs. In addition, the need for a deeper understanding of the role of HSP complexes at the host–parasite interface is highlighted, especially heterologous partnerships between human and malarial HSPs, as this opens novel opportunities for targeting protein–protein interactions crucial for malaria parasite survival and pathogenesis.

description: The newly discovered family of titanium-based kagome metals, ATi$_{3}$Bi$_{5}$ (where A can be Rb or Cs), has been found to exhibit non-trivial band topology and fascinating electronic instabilities, including electronic nematicity and potential bulk superconductivity. Distinct from their vanadium-based counterparts (AV$_{3}$Sb$_{5}$), which display a charge density wave (CDW) phase that already breaks rotational symmetry, ATi$_{3}$Bi$_{5}$ shows no evidence of CDW, providing a unique platform to study nematicity in its pure form and its interplay with other correlated quantum phenomena, such as superconductivity. In this review, we highlight recent progress in both experimental and theoretical research on ATi$_{3}$Bi$_{5}$ and discuss the unresolved questions and challenges in this burgeoning field.

Valence Bond Crystal Ground State of the 1/9 Magnetization Plateau in the Spin-1/2 Kagome Lattice

description: We investigate the ground state of a spin-1/2 kagome antiferromagnet at the 1/9 magnetization plateau, focusing primarily on six types of valence bond crystal (VBC) distortions. Among six types of VBC distortions, type 1 consistently exhibits the lowest ground-state energy. Analysis of the second derivative of the energy with respect to the distortion strength $J_{\rm d}$ using exact diagonalization reveals that, as the system size approaches the thermodynamic limit, the type 1 VBC state remains stable down to $J_{\rm d} = 1$, corresponding to the undistorted kagome lattice. Perturbation theory further supports the stability of the type 1 VBC state, providing energy values that agree with exact diagonalization results within 3%. We also explore the possibility that other types of VBC distortions could become the ground state, but type 1 VBC still exhibited the lowest energy. These findings suggest that the ground state of the 1/9 plateau in the kagome lattice is the type 1 VBC state.

Clade Corbiculata Engel
There are four extant tribes of corbiculate bees, along with an additional three tribes known only from fossils. These are some of the most familiar of all bees (Michener, 2007; Engel and Rasmussen, 2021): orchid bees (Euglossini), bumble bees (Bombini), stingless bees (Meliponini), and honey bees (Apini). Currently available evidence indicates that the three extinct tribes— Electrobombini, Electrapini, and Melikertini — disappeared during the Eocene-Oligocene transition (Engel, 2001).
Some assert that the formal name Corbiculata is attributable to Shuckard (1866). In fact, Shuckard (1866) never established such a name and instead classified corbiculate bees as his Section Cenobites Shuckard, 1866 (160, 302); he also renamed all bees as Mellicolligerae Shuckard [= Anthophila Latreille]. In discussing the systematic arrangement of Apidae, Shuckard (1866: 165) wrote about the character uniting the Cenobites being, “the glabrous surface of the posterior tibiae, with their lateral edges fringed with bristles slightly curved inwards... a sort of natural basket for the conveyance of pollen or other stores to the nest.” He continues, “This, however, has not been made use of as a main feature for scientific distribution, although they might follow the Dasygasters [Megachilidae], as corbiculated bees, or little basket bearers.” Thus, Shuckard introduces the term corbicula for this structure and uses the term as an adjectival description of the bees he actually classifies as Cenobites. Accordingly, Shuckard never proposed a “Corbiculata” and the formal name, rather than an adjective or new morphological term, cannot be said to derive from his work.

description: A specialized sub-network of the Siamese Neural Network (SNN), called Transformer Architecture for Sequence Analysis of Genes (TASAG), compares two sequences: the desired and target sequences. TASAG analyzes the differences between them and enables on-screen edits to incorporate the desired sequence into the target. The edited sequence can then be chemically synthesized using a Computerized DNA Synthesizer (CDS), which fabricates DNA strands based on the displayed sequence with the help of microprocessors. These synthesized strands are inserted into an ovum to stimulate development, ultimately creating an Embot and, eventually, an H-Bot. This study explores the potential benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in gene editing while addressing the ethical considerations surrounding its use.

Head triangular, narrowed in front, convex above; eyes large, somewhat exerted and reniform, their posterior margin almost touching anterior margin of pronotum. Antennae moderately robust, fourth segment fusiform. Labium reaching middle coxae. Labrum short, about 1/3 long as 1 st labial segment.
Thorax. Pronotum sinuate laterally, transversely impressed about middle length, lateral angles obtusely rounded, anterior margin nearly straight, posterior margin slightly concave in front of scutellum. Scutellum with a central carina in apical half. Legs with fore femora moderately incrassate and unarmed below. Clavus with two complete rows of distinct punctures; corium short and narrow, barely occupying two-thirds length of abdomen, apical margin distinctly concave in inner half length; membrane very large, extending broadly from apex of clavus to apex of abdomen.
Abdomen. Spiracles I–VII ventral on extreme edge of sterna. Scent gland scar between III–IV almost twice as wide as those between IV–V and V–VI, latter the narrowest. Trichobothrial pattern typical Drymini—placed submedially on sternites III & IV and sub-laterally on sternites V–VII, with usual trichobothrial numbers: 3:3:3:3:2, those on sternite V placed anterior to spiracle; trichobothrial hair shiny, very fine and extremely long.
Innerlaterotergites absent in male; indistinctly present in female.
Discussion. This genus is clearly a member of the tribe Drymini by possessing characters such as all trichobothria placed anterior to spiracle 5; spiracle 5 placed in central third of the segment; and pores present near spiracles 3 and 4 (Sweet, 1967). Members of Drymini have hemelytra with apical corial margin usually straight (Schuh & Weirauch, 2020). While Rhodiginus has the apical corial margin deeply concave, therefore sharing this character with the related rhyparochromine tribe Antillocorini, whose members almost all possess this character. In Antillocorini, however, the pores are absent near spiracles 3 and 4, usually one trichobothrium placed posterior to spiracle 5, and spiracle 5 placed closer to posterior margin, i.e., in posterior third of the segment.

description: This paper rigorously and concisely defines, in the context of our (Elementary) Mathematical Data Model ((E)MDM), the mathematical concepts of dyadic relation, reflexivity, irreflexivity, symmetry, asymmetry, transitivity, intransitivity, Euclideanity, inEuclideanity, equivalence, acyclicity, connectivity, the properties that relate them, and the corresponding corollaries on the coherence and minimality of sets made of such dyadic relation properties viewed as database constraints. Its main contribution is the pseudocode algorithm used by MatBase, our intelligent database management system prototype based on both (E)MDM, the relational, and the entity-relationship data models, for enforcing dyadic relation constraint sets. We proved that this algorithm guarantees the satisfiability, coherence, and minimality of such sets, while being very fast, solid, complete, and minimal. In the sequel, we also presented the relevant MatBase user interface as well as the tables of its metacatalog used by this algorithm.

description: The phase folding optimization is a circuit optimization used in many quantum compilers as a fast and effective way of reducing the number of high-cost gates in a quantum circuit. However, existing formulations of the optimization rely on an exact, linear algebraic representation of the circuit, restricting the optimization to being performed on straightline quantum circuits or basic blocks in a larger quantum program.
 We show that the phase folding optimization can be re-cast as an \emph{affine relation analysis}, which allows the direct application of classical techniques for affine relations to extend phase folding to quantum \emph{programs} with arbitrarily complicated classical control flow including nested loops and procedure calls. Through the lens of relational analysis, we show that the optimization can be powered-up by substituting other classical relational domains, particularly ones for \emph{non-linear} relations which are useful in analyzing circuits involving classical arithmetic. To increase the precision of our analysis and infer non-linear relations from gate sets involving only linear operations -- such as Clifford+$T$ -- we show that the \emph{sum-over-paths} technique can be used to extract precise symbolic transition relations for straightline circuits. Our experiments show that our methods are able to generate and use non-trivial loop invariants for quantum program optimization, as well as achieve some optimizations of common circuits which were previously attainable only by hand.

description: In the realm of human-machine interaction, artificial intelligence has become a powerful tool for accelerating data modeling tasks. Object detection methods have achieved outstanding results and are widely used in critical domains like autonomous driving and video surveillance. However, their adoption in high-risk applications, where errors may cause severe consequences, remains limited. Explainable Artificial Intelligence methods aim to address this issue, but many existing techniques are model-specific and designed for classification tasks, making them less effective for object detection and difficult for non-specialists to interpret. In this work we focus on model-agnostic explainability methods for object detection models and propose D-MFPP, an extension of the Morphological Fragmental Perturbation Pyramid (MFPP) technique based on segmentation-based masks to generate explanations. Additionally, we introduce D-Deletion, a novel metric combining faithfulness and localization, adapted specifically to meet the unique demands of object detectors. We evaluate these methods on real-world industrial and robotic datasets, examining the influence of parameters such as the number of masks, model size, and image resolution on the quality of explanations. Our experiments use single-stage object detection models applied to two safety-critical robotic environments: i) a shared human-robot workspace where safety is of paramount importance, and ii) an assembly area of battery kits, where safety is critical due to the potential for damage among high-risk components. Our findings evince that D-Deletion effectively gauges the performance of explanations when multiple elements of the same class appear in a scene, while D-MFPP provides a promising alternative to D-RISE when fewer masks are used.

"Rooting Out Resistance in Uyghur Society": The Making of China's Counterterrorism Policy in Xinjiang (1996-2017)
Creators: name: Sciorati, Giulia
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2020

description: The diffusion of episodes of terrorism and political violence around the world has heightened the need for states to design effective counterterrorist measures. Orthodox studies on terrorism hold that the frequency and intensity of terrorist attacks determine the levels of assertiveness maintained by counterterrorist measures. This research builds on this assumption by developing the link between terrorism and counterterrorism policy through two unit-level variables. Besides the frequency and intensity of terrorist attacks, this study examines the political orientation of states? elites, and states? integration in multilateral security frameworks. The research tests for these factors by studying counterterrorist authoritarian regimes, and questions the notion that their political orientation makes state terrorism a measure of choice.
In empirical terms, this study investigates the making of China?s counterterrorism policy in Xinjiang from 1996 to 2017. The period is analysed by comparing three within-cases, bookended by pre identified critical junctures. China?s counterterrorist measures in Xinjiang have experienced a revival since President Xi came into power in 2013, and the country has been quick to adopt a counterterrorism policy that has come to resemble state terrorism. Yet, no substantial variation in the opposition to the country?s elite nor exceptionally violent terrorist attacks have been recorded in the region.
This study relies upon qualitative data, such as political discourse and documents, news media and scholarly writings, and aggregated data is examined to complement the qualitative sources. Methodologically, this thesis supplements process tracing with qualitative content analysis.
The evidence provides support for a theory of ?multi-causal counterterrorism?, according to which counterterrorism policy depends on the combination of systemic and domestic factors. Other than the incidence of terrorist attacks, states choose their counterterrorism policy in the context of ever-changing power relationships at the international and domestic levels. It is concluded that these power relationships impose constraints on states? decision-making abilities.
