J. Swierstra (WOPC; 1).
  Discussion of Diplocladus rufus.  Gerstmeier and Weiss (2009) only referenced the holotype and three other specimens. These specimens represent a considerable contribution to our knowledge of this large and ostentatious species and expand the known distribution to include Kenya and Zimbabwe, new country records.
 Gerstmeier and Weiss (2009) redescribed D. rufus as having the legs with “femora reddish brown, tibiae and tarsi dark brown.” The specimens examined in the present work have legs ranging from entirely reddish (as the bright elytra and thorax) with only hints of terminal infuscation in the tibiae and tarsi to nearly entirely black legs only hinting at dark reddish coloration in the tarsi.

description: Given an input face photo, the goal of caricature generation is to produce stylized, exaggerated caricatures that share the same identity as the photo. It requires simultaneous style transfer and shape exaggeration with rich diversity, and meanwhile preserving the identity of the input. To address this challenging problem, we propose a novel framework called Multi-Warping GAN (MW-GAN), including a style network and a geometric network that are designed to conduct style transfer and geometric exaggeration respectively. We bridge the gap between the style and landmarks of an image with corresponding latent code spaces by a dual way design, so as to generate caricatures with arbitrary styles and geometric exaggeration, which can be specified either through random sampling of latent code or from a given caricature sample. Besides, we apply identity preserving loss to both image space and landmark space, leading to a great improvement in quality of generated caricatures. Experiments show that caricatures generated by MW-GAN have better quality than existing methods.

description: We present and discuss Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the Seyfert 2 galaxy and Compton-thick absorbed source, Tololo~0109-383. The hard X-ray emission (i.e. above $\sim$2 keV), is dominated by a spatially unresolved reflection component, as already discovered by previous ASCA and BeppoSAX observ ations. The soft X-ray emission is partly ($\sim$15%) extended over about 1 kpc. Below 2 keV, the spectrum is very steep and two emission lines, probably due to recombination to He-like ions of oxygen and neon, are clearly present. Combining X-rays and optical information taken from the literature, we propose an overall scenario for the nuclear regions of this source.

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: New spectral representations for f_πand chiral condensate are derived in QCD and used for calculations in the large N_c limit. Both quantities are expressed in this limit through string tension σand gluon correlation length T_g without fitting parameters. As a result one obtains = - N_cσ^2 T_g a_1, f_π=\sqrt{N_c} σT_g a_2, with a_1=0.0823, a_2=0.30. Taking σ=0.18 GeV^2 and T_g=1 GeV^(-1), as known from analytic and lattice calculations, this yields (μ=2 GeV)=-(0.225 GeV)^3, f_π=0.094 GeV, which is close to the standard values.

description: Within the ongoing trend of rapid climate changes there is an urgent need to assess the vulnerability of the endangered species for evaluating their conservation status and planning effective actions. Primula palinuri Petagna is a relict chasmophyte classified as Vulnerable due to its decreasing populations. The species evolved a distylous syndrome: a reproductive system that maintains a high genetic variability by enhancing cross-pollination. Using an experimental approach, we compared the effect of three different temperatures and three levels of relative humidity on pollen viability of both short-styled and long styled flowers of P. palinuri. Data highlighted that temperature and humidity significantly affect pollen viability. Notably, pollen of short-styled flowers showed a significant higher viability than the long-styled morph in any of the tested treatments. Such results raised the concern for the occurrence of a distyly equilibrium disruption in this species, a phenomenon that in isolated populations may cause a sharp raising of the risk of local extinction. Overall, results on this Primula species suggest that in a scenario of climate changes the effect of environmental factors on pollen functionality of any endangered distylous species should be not overlooked for their vulnerability assessment and conservation status evaluation.

description: We show that contrary to first expectations realistic three generation supersymmetric intersecting brane world models give rise to phenomenologically interesting predictions about gauge coupling unification. Assuming the most economical way of realizing the matter content of the MSSM via intersecting branes we obtain a model independent relation among the three gauge coupling constants at the string scale. In order to correctly reproduce the experimentally known values of sin^2[theta_W(M_z)] and alpha_s(M_z) this relation leads to natural gauge coupling unification at a string scale close to the standard GUT scale 2 x 10^16 GeV. Additional vector-like matter can push the unification scale up to the Planck scale.

description: We study transport properties of topological Weyl nodal-line semimetals(NLSs). Starting from a minimal lattice model with a single nodal loop, and by focusing on a normal-metal-NLS-normal-metal junction, we investigate the dependence of the novel transport behavior on the orientation of the nodal loop. When the loop is parallel to the junction interfaces, the transmitted current is found to be nearly fully spin-polarized. Correspondingly, there exists a spin orientation, along which the incident electrons would be totally reflected. An unusual resonance of half transmission with the participation of surface states also occurs for a pair of incident electrons with opposite spin orientations. All these phenomena have been shown to originate from the existence of a single forward-propagating mode in the NLS of the junction, and argued to survive in more generic multi-band Weyl NLSs.

description: This article assesses the new mechanisms of regulation on rural sector implemented in Brazil during the last decade. Based on the approach of Economic Sociology and the New Institutional Economics, it was analyzed the different phases which the agro­ ­industrial complexes went through. It was possible to prove that we are seeing a new period regarding the organization of rural sector, as the example of sugarcane and orange juice complexes showed. In the sugarcane case, the Consecana system has been successful, except for some situational disruption of some farmers. In the same way, the Consecana has allowed the whole sector to advance on further subjects, such as the spreading of a new agricultural and industrial pattern, the rural workers remuneration and the sugarcane land prices. As for the citrus case, the proposal system named Consecitrus is now under discussion, but due to the low legitimate of representation and the historical disputes, there would be much more difficulties to its implementation.

description: This factorial split-plot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of the application of time and level of nitrogen on yield, grain content, remobilization efficiency, and nitrogen consumption of quinoa cultivars. The present work has a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2018 and 2019 in Khuzestan, Iran. The experimental factors herein included four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (no fertilizer application, 100, 200, and 300 kg/ha) and different administrations: (1) 50% at base stage + 50% at six-leaf stage, (2) 50% at base stage + 25% at six-leaf stage + 25% at mid-flowering stage, (3) 25% at base stage + 50% at six-leaf stage + 25% at mid-flowering stage, and (4) 25% base stage + 25% six-leaf stage + 50% mid-flowering stage. Furthermore, quinoa cultivars Gizat, Q26, and Titicaca were selected as the sub-plots. Comparing the two-year averages, we found that with the increase in the nitrogen fertilizer, grain yield, biological yield, remobilization (R), current photosynthesis (CP), remobilization contribution (RC), remobilization efficiency (RE), nitrogen content, and grain protein increased. Meanwhile, the level and current photosynthesis contribution (CPC), agronomic and physiological efficiency of nitrogen (NAE and NUE), and grain oil content decreased. The highest biological yield (11683 kg/ha) and grain yield (5675 kg/ha) were obtained applying 200 kg/ha of nitrogen divided into 25% at base stage + 25% at six-leaf stage + 50% at mid-flowering stage for cultivar Q26. The highest RE and NUE belonged to 100 kg/ha of nitrogen, 25% of which was at base stage + 50% at six-leaf stage + 25% at mid-flowering stage for cultivar Q26. Overall, the applying 200 kg/ha of nitrogen, 25% at base + 25% at six-leaf stage + 50% at flowering stage, and use of cultivar Q26 could be recommended based on our findings.

description: We present initial results from a follow-up of the 9C survey, complete to 25 mJy at 15 GHz, designed to assemble and investigate a sample of young radiosources. We have made radio continuum maps of 111 sources at frequencies spanning 1.4-43 GHz, and classified them according to their radio size and spectral index between 1.4 and 4.8 GHz. We find that selection at 15 GHz is twice as efficient at picking Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) sources as selection at 5 GHz. Optical follow-up has now begun; imaging of GPS and compact steep spectrum sources suggests that a significant fraction of the host galaxies have close companions or disturbed morphologies.

Efficient Three-party Computation: An Information-theoretic Approach from Cut-and-Choose

Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)

description: As far as we know, the literature on secure computation from cut-and-choose has focused on achieving computational security against malicious adversaries. It is unclear whether the idea of cut-and-choose can be adapted to secure computation with information-theoretic security. In this work we explore the possibility of using cut-and-choose in information theoretic setting for secure three-party computation (3PC). Previous work on 3PC has mainly focus on the semi-honest case, and is motivated by the observation that real-word deployments of multi-party computation (MPC) seem to involve few parties. We propose a new protocol for information-theoretically secure 3PC tolerating one malicious party with cheating probability $2^{-s}$ using $s$ runs of circuit computation in the cut-and-choose paradigm. The computational cost of our protocol is essentially only a small constant worse than that of state-of-the-art 3PC protocols against a semi-honest corruption, while its communication round is greatly reduced compared to other maliciously secure 3PC protocols in information-theoretic setting.

description: A study of the flora and vegetation of a serpentine outcrop in the south of the Iberian Peninsula (Malaga, Spain) has been carried out. The study area is located in the Bermejense biogeographical sector (Baetic province, Mediterranean region) and shows a Mediterranean pluviseasonal-oceanic bioclimate. Most of the outcrop is altered by urban planning linked to tourism and affected by invasive alien species. Three areas remain more intact. A catalogue of vascular flora has been completed, made up of 168 taxa, including three threatened species, four obligate serpentinophytes, one preferential serpentinophyte, and one subserpentinophyte (majority of populations on serpentine). Seven taxa are South-Iberian ultramafic endemics. Silene inaperta subsp. serpentinicola is an obligate serpentinophyte and threatened endemism. Twelve alien taxa have been identified showing invasive potential, 75% of them originating from inactive dumps. The richness of serpentinophytes / area fits in the trend of the southern outcrops of the Iberian Peninsula. Four associations and one community have been identified. The serpentine perennial grassland stands out for its abundance and dominance, for which a new association is proposed (Scorzonero boeticae-Macrochloetum tenacissimae ass. nova). There are three habitats included within the Directive 92/43/EEC: therophytic and perennial grasslands (6220), scrubland (5330) and oleander shrublands (92D0).

The germination responses of seeds were determined over a wide range of constant temperatures (15 to 50 °C) and polyethylene glycol (PEG6000) solutions of different osmotic potentials (0 to -1,2 MPa). The effect of drought on several physiological parameters are studied by submitted plants to water defcit (10 and 20 days of withheld irrigation). Morphological study indicating a large-scale diversity among the provenances. Germination was inhibited by either an increase or decrease in temperature from the most suitable temperature found (40 °C). The highest germination percentages (95%) were obtained under control conditions without PEG, and increasing moisture stress progressively inhibited seed germination, which was less than 18% at -1.2 MPa. The results showed that growth parameters and biomass production in leaves, stem and roots were not impacted under medium drought stress. The applied drought stresses increased the proline and soluble sugars contents of the plant. Cultivating Ziziphus spina-christi under drought or salt stresses could be a good alternative to valorize antioxidant molecules from this species in industrial applications.

description: The magnetic-field behaviour of the off-diagonal impedance in Co-based amorphous wires is investigated under the condition of sinusoidal (50 MHz) and pulsed (5 ns rising time) current excitations. For comparison, the field characteristics of the diagonal impedance are measured as well. In general, when an alternating current is applied to a magnetic wire the voltage signal is generated not only across the wire but also in the coil mounted on it. These voltages are related with the diagonal and off-diagonal impedances, respectively. It is demonstrated that these impedances have a different behaviour as a function of axial magnetic field: the former is symmetrical and the latter is antisymmetrical with a near linear portion within a certain field interval. In the case of the off-diagonal response, the dc bias current eliminating circular domains is necessary. The pulsed excitation that combines both high and low frequency harmonics produces the off-diagonal voltage response without additional bias current or field. This suits ideal for a practical sensor circuit design. The principles of operation of a linear magnetic sensor based on C-MOS transistor circuit are discussed.

To this end, we discuss analysis of urban public transportation networks viewed as complex systems. In such studies, a multi-disciplinary approach is applied by integrating methods in both data processing and statistical physics to investigate the correlation between public transportation network topological features and their operational stability. The studies incorporate concepts of coarse graining and clusterization, universality and scaling, stability and percolation behavior, diffusion and fractal analysis.

description: Maerua apetala (Roth) M. Jacobs is a rare tropical deciduous tree species. Leaf fall and leaf ﬂushing occur almost simultaneously during late December-mid-February while ﬂowering occurs during March-April. The ﬂowers are white with a creamy tinge, hermaphroditic, strongly protandrous and obligately xenogamous. The ﬂoral characters such as morning anthesis, anther dehiscence immediately after anthesis, large size, scent production, numerous exerted stamens, sufficient volume of nectar and huge pollen production suggest a mix of entomophily and zoophily. Accordingly, the tree is pollinated by bees and birds; the former promotes geitonogamy while the latter promotes xenogamy. Among birds, sunbirds are typically nectar robbers while other birds are pollinators. Fruit dispersal mode is barochory but seed germination and seedling formation either at parental trees or away from them have not been found and hence the tree is on the verge of extirpation.

description: We consider the Lorentz invariant non-commutative QED and complete the Feynman rules for the theory up to the order $θ^2$. In the Lorentz invariant version of the non-commutative QED the particles with fractional charges can be also considered. We show that in the parton model, even at the lowest order, the Bjorken scaling violates as $\simθ^2Q^4$.

description: Additional file 6: Figure S4. Transcript levels of GUS fused to the 5′-untranslated region of EAS4 or a 35S minimal promoter. Agrobacterium cells carrying GUS fused to the EAS4 promoter fragments, 5′-untranslated region of EAS4 or a 35S minimal promoter were mixed with those carrying LUC driven by a 35S promoter, and infiltrated into N. benthamiana leaves. At 40–48 h after infiltration, the leaves were wounded, and harvested at the times indicated after wounding. Transcript levels of GUS, LUC, and Nbactin2 were quantified by RT-qPCR, and the level of GUS was doubly normalized to the levels of Nbactin2 and LUC as internal and infection standards, respectively. Values are means with standard deviations of three biological replicates.

description: Aluminum (Al) is the most common metallic element after oxygen and silicon, which makes up 8.1% of the earth’s crust. If the acidity of the soil increases due to several environmental factors, Al is dissolved and transformed into a toxic form. In acidic soils, dissolved Al, usually present in concentrations ranging from 10 to 100 µM, is an important factor in inhibiting growth for plants. In the present study, we aimed to alleviate the Al toxicity by chitosan (CHT) application in wheat. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds germinated for 96 h in different solutions. Distilled water was used as control. Toxicity was established using 100 µM AlCl3 solution (pH 4.5). Roots were treated with 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 mg/L CHT solutions to alleviate toxicity. Based on our results, while Al inhibited the elongation of wheat roots, an increase in root elongation was observed as a result of the CHT application. Al-induced lipid peroxidation, loss of membrane integrity, proline deposition, and antioxidant enzyme activities. The Al-damage was improved by CHT and Al-resistance rose with increasing antioxidant enzyme activity. As a result, the alleviation effects of CHT on Al-induced stress symptoms were found to be higher in lower concentrations (0.1 and 0.25 mg/L).

description: We examine isovector and isoscalar proton-neutron pairing correlations for the ground state of even-even Ge isotopes with mass number A=64-76 within the deformed BCS approach. For N=Z 64Ge the BCS solution with only T=0 proton-neutron pairs is found. For other nuclear systems (N>Z) a coexistence of a T=0 and T=1 pairs in the BCS wave function is observed. A problem of fixing of strengths of isoscalar and isovector pairing interactions is addressed. A dependence of number of like and unlike pairs in the BCS ground state on the difference between number of neutrons and protons is discussed. We found that for nuclei with N much bigger than Z the effect of proton-neutron pairing is small but not negligible.

description: We have analyzed the dependences of the threshold value of amplitude of linear density fluctuation collapsed at the current epoch, $δ_c$, and its overdensity after virialization, $Δ_c$, on matter density content, 3D curvature parameter and cosmological constant. Though the range for the threshold values of perturbation amplitude is quite narrow - $1.55\le δ_c\le 1.75$ in the region of parameters $-0.4\leΩ_k\le0.4$, $0\leΩ_Λ\le 1$, $0.1\leΩ_m\le 1$, the difference in the concentrations of rich clusters of galaxies (calculated within the Press-Schechter formalism framework) with real and with canonical values of $δ_c$ reaches, and for some models exceeds, 30%. The range of changes for the overdensity after virialization, $Δ_c$, is considerably wider for the same region of parameters: $60\leΔ_c\le180$. It results into difference up to $\sim40$% between the X-ray temperatures of gas, as calculated for these values and for the canonical value of $Δ_c=178$. Also we have found analytical approximations of the dependences $δ_c(Ω_m,Ω_Λ)$ and $Δ_c(Ω_m,Ω_Λ)$ with their accuracies for above mentioned region of parameters being no worse than 0.2% and 1.7% respectively.

description: We report new results from the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in $^{130}$Te with the CUORE detector. This search benefits from a four-fold increase in exposure, lower trigger thresholds and analysis improvements relative to our previous results. We observe a background of $(1.38\pm0.07)\cdot10^{-2}$ counts$/($keV$\cdot$kg$\cdot$yr$)$ in the $0νββ$ decay region of interest and, with a total exposure of 372.5 kg$\cdot$yr, we attain a median exclusion sensitivity of $1.7\cdot10^{25}$ yr. We find no evidence for $0νββ$ decay and set a $90\%$ CI Bayesian lower limit of $3.2\cdot10^{25}$ yr on the $^{130}$Te half-life for this process. In the hypothesis that $0νββ$ decay is mediated by light Majorana neutrinos, this results in an upper limit on the effective Majorana mass of 75-350 meV, depending on the nuclear matrix elements used.

A Hint of Poincaré Dodecahedral Topology in the WMAP First Year Sky Map

description: Luminet et al. (2003) suggested that WMAP data are better matched by a Poincaré dodecahedral FLRW model of global geometry, rather than by an infinite flat model. The analysis by Cornish et al. (2003) for angular radii 25-90 degrees failed to support this. Here, a matched circles analysis specifically designed to detect dodecahedral patterns of matched circles is performed over angular radii in the range 1-40 degrees on the one-year WMAP ILC map, using a correlation statistic and an rms difference statistic. Extreme value distributions of these statistics are calculated for left-handed and right-handed 36 degree `screw motions' (Clifford translations) when matching circles and for a zero (unphysical) rotation. The most correlated circles appear for circle radii of 11\pm1 degrees, for the left-handed screw motion, but not for the right-handed one, nor for the zero rotation. The favoured six dodecahedral face centres in galactic coordinates are (l,b)= (252, +65), (51, +51), (144,+38), (207,+10), (271,+3), (332,+25) and their opposites. The six pairs of circles_independently_ each favour a circle angular radius of 11\pm1 degrees. Whether or not these six circle pairs centred on dodecahedral faces match via a 36 degree rotation only due to unexpected statistical properties of the WMAP ILC map, or whether they match due to global geometry, it is clear that the WMAP ILC map has some unusual statistical properties which mimic a potentially interesting cosmological signal. The software for reading the WMAP data and for carrying out this analysis are released under the GNU General Public License.

New Measurements of the Motion of the Zodiacal Dust

description: Using the Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM), we have measured at high spectral resolution and high signal-to-noise the profile of the scattered solar Mg I 5184 absorption line in the zodiacal light. The observations were carried out toward 49 directions that sampled the ecliptic equator from solar elongations of 48\dg (evening sky) to 334\dg (morning sky) plus observations near +47\dg and +90\dg ecliptic latitude. The spectra show a clear prograde kinematic signature that is inconsistent with dust confined to the ecliptic plane and in circular orbits influenced only by the sun's gravity. In particular, the broadened widths of the profiles, together with large amplitude variations in the centroid velocity with elongation angle, indicate that a significant population of dust is on eccentric orbits. In addition, the wide, flat-bottomed line profile toward the ecliptic pole indicates a broad distribution of orbital inclinations extending up to about 30\dg - 40\dg with respect to the ecliptic plane. The absence of pronounced asymmetries in the shape of the profiles limits the retrograde population to less than 10% of the prograde population and also places constraints on the scattering phase function of the particles. These results do not show the radial outflow or evening--morning velocity amplitude asymmetry reported in some earlier investigations. The reduction of the spectra included the discovery and removal of extremely faint, unidentified terrestrial emission lines that contaminate and distort the underlying Mg I profile. This atmospheric emission is too weak to have been seen in earlier, lower signal-to-noise observations, but it probably affected the line centroid measurements of previous investigations.

description: The present research work is based on the identification of Invasive Alien Plant Species (IAPS) distributed in Potohar Plateau, which are threat to indigenous flora. To confirm the invasive and alien status of these species, we investigated the flora of Potohar plateau. The target population sampling method was used for the collection and listing of IAPS present in all districts of Potohar Region. Invasion status of IAPS was recorded from wastelands, roadsides, crop fields, banks of canals, mismanaged gardens and housing colonies. Our results revealed that Broussonetia papyrifera Vent., Cannabis sativa L., Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., Lantana camara L., and Parthenium hysterophorus L. are highly invasive species. Whereas seventeen IAPS were found in naturalized, ten recently escaped from controlled cultivation, three were newly introduced while fifteen grown casually in the study area. The common life form of IAPS was herbs and are used for medicinal and ornamental purposes. These species have invaded maximum area to obstruct the distribution of native flora including medicinal and economically important plants, which are now found in patches. We tend to use eradication methods to control further replacement of indigenous vegetation. This study suggests that the Government of Pakistan should take possible steps to prevent natural habitat of local flora and make separate zones for IAPS. The present study will help the researchers and policymakers to control invasion and alien species.
