description: Utilizing the Matlab platform, two-dimensional diffusion-limited aggregation and three-dimensional diffusion-limited cluster aggregation models were established to simulate the hydrophobic flocculation of coal particles. The formation process of flocs aggregated by monomer particles and small groups was simulated from both plane and space perspectives. The gyration radius fractal dimension increased from 1.401 to 1.539 in the DLA model and from 1.623 to 1.729 in the DLCA model, indicating that the floc morphology gradually stabilized and the structure became increasingly regular during the hydrophobic flocculation process. The porosity of DLA increased from 0.762 to 0.851, indicating that the dendritic structure of flocs formed a spatial shielding effect on the planar structure, which prevented the particles from entering the flocs. In contrast, the porosity of DLCA first increased from 0.506 to 0.611 and then decreased, stabilizing at approximately 0.53, indicating that small groups filled the internal voids of flocs in the spatial structure, leading to a gradual increase in floc density. The surface fractal dimension and density of flocs were calculated using the surface fractal and hydrostatic sedimentation-terminal velocity theories, respectively, confirming the conclusions drawn from the simulation analysis.

Ypofloiococcus

description: Ypofloiococcus Miller and Stocks gen. n.
Type species: Ypofloiococcus libeauae Miller and Stocks sp. n. by current designation and monotypy.
Generic diagnosis of adult female: Macrotubular ducts each with large flap attached to vestibule; microtubular ducts of 3 sizes, with single sclerotized area distally; multilocular pores in large clusters on posterior abdominal segments ventrally; cruciform pores absent; anal ring usually complete, with few or no pores; hind coxae with unusually large numbers pores; hind tibia longer than tarsus; antennae each with sensory setae restricted to apical 2 segments; labium 2-segmented, apical segments fused, basal segment narrow, with 1 seta on each side; anal lobes not projecting; enlarged setae absent.
Notes: The species in Ypofloiococcus is most similar to Ovaticoccus species but differs as follows (characters of Ypofloiococcus in brackets): macrotubular ducts without loop attached to vestibule (with loop attached to vestibule); microtubular ducts of one size (two or three sizes); microtubular ducts, when present, with double distal sclerotization (when present, with single distal sclerotization); antennae each with sensory setae on apical three segments (apical two segments); labium three-segmented (two-segmented).
Etymology: Ypofloiococcus is a combination of the Greek words “ ypo ” meaning “under,” “ floios ” meaning “bark,” and “ kokkos” meaning “seed” or “scale insect” and is a masculine noun. The generic epithet is formed because of the habit of the type species, Ypofloiococcus libeauae, to reside under the bark of its host.
Field features: Occurring under bark on the trunk of the host.

description: We report initial research to develop a compact and practical primary thermometer based on Doppler broadening thermometry (DBT). The DBT sensor uses an intrinsic property of thermalized atoms, namely, the Doppler width of a spectral line characteristic of the atoms being probed. The DBT sensor, being founded on a primary thermometry approach, requires no calibration or reference, and so in principle could achieve reliable long-term in-situ thermodynamic temperature measurement. Here we describe our approach and report on initial proof-of-concept investigations with alkali metal vapour cells. Our focus is to develop long-term stable thermometers based on DBT that can be used to reliably measure temperatures for long periods and in environments where sensor retrieval for re-calibration is impractical such as in nuclear waste storage facilities.

description: This paper is concerned with identifying contexts useful for training word representation models for different word classes such as adjectives (A), verbs (V), and nouns (N). We introduce a simple yet effective framework for an automatic selection of {\em class-specific context configurations}. We construct a context configuration space based on universal dependency relations between words, and efficiently search this space with an adapted beam search algorithm. In word similarity tasks for each word class, we show that our framework is both effective and efficient. Particularly, it improves the Spearman's rho correlation with human scores on SimLex-999 over the best previously proposed class-specific contexts by 6 (A), 6 (V) and 5 (N) rho points. With our selected context configurations, we train on only 14% (A), 26.2% (V), and 33.6% (N) of all dependency-based contexts, resulting in a reduced training time. Our results generalise: we show that the configurations our algorithm learns for one English training setup outperform previously proposed context types in another training setup for English. Moreover, basing the configuration space on universal dependencies, it is possible to transfer the learned configurations to German and Italian. We also demonstrate improved per-class results over other context types in these two languages.

Subjects: Machine Learning, Intensive Care Unit, Mortality Prediction, Length of Stay, Critical Care

description: This study explores the transformative potential of machine learning (ML) in predicting clinical outcomes in intensive care units (ICUs). By analyzing a dataset of 35,000 ICU admissions, the research evaluates the performance of advanced ML algorithms, including XGBoost, Random Forest, Neural Networks, and Logistic Regression, in predicting mortality and length of stay (LOS). The findings demonstrate that ML models, particularly XGBoost, outperform traditional methods like Logistic Regression, achieving superior accuracy, precision, and ROC-AUC scores. The study highlights critical predictors such as age, lactate levels, and CRP levels, offering insights into their clinical relevance. Emphasizing the integration of explainable AI and addressing challenges like data quality and ethical concerns, the research underscores ML’s role in enhancing ICU decision-making and operational efficiency. This work contributes to the growing field of data-driven healthcare and provides a framework for advancing ML applications in critical care settings.

description: In this paper we present a novel method to generate hard instances with planted solutions based on the public-private McEliece post-quantum cryptographic protocol. Unlike other planting methods rooted in the infinite-size statistical analysis, our cryptographic protocol generates instances which are all hard (in cryptographic terms), with the hardness tuned by the size of the private key, and with a guaranteed unique ground state. More importantly, because of the private-public key protocol, planted solutions cannot be easily recovered by a direct inspection of the planted instances without the knowledge of the private key used to generate them, therefore making our protocol suitable to test and evaluate quantum devices without the risk of "backdoors" being exploited.

description: Precision medicine requires computational models to adapt to a wide range of physiological signals from diverse patients. Foundation models promise broad transfer capabilities across tasks, but their effectiveness with precision medicine's specific signals is unclear. This study presents a pipeline for quickly and efficiently assessing a foundation model's transfer abilities to medical physiological signals. The pipeline simulates physiological signals for relevant, data-scarce scenarios, allowing targeted evaluation and facilitating fine-tuning. These simulated signals are projected into the foundation model's latent space, assessed for their representation of physiological features, temporal dynamics, and medical scenarios. Task-specific validation on simulated data further tests the model's performance. We applied this pipeline to the Moirai time series foundation model, uncovering significant transferability challenges. The results indicate a need for extensive fine-tuning to improve performance. Future work will expand simulation scenarios, add validation tasks and datasets, and test additional time series foundation models, aiming to optimize their use in precision medicine.

(Figs 1, 16 A, 17A, 19A)
Material examined. United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP): Stn 32/2095, Eltanin, 3 February 1968, 76°04’– 76°05’S, 164°46’– 164°51’W (Ross Sea, center of sea), 513–550 m (USNM 1003302).
Description. Monosiphonic, usually unbranched stems, up to 60 mm high, divided into internodes. Angle between cauline apophyses and stem ca. 70°. Cauline apophyses with one or two axillary nematophores emerging through simple perisarc holes (Fig. 1 B–C).
Hydrocladia much branched (Fig. 1 A); branching symmetrical, up to the fourth-order. First hydrocladial internode bifurcated, with two similar prongs (Fig. 1 A–B). Mesial superior nematophore emerging above adcauline hydrothecal wall. Mesial inferior nematophore located on a distinct elevation at lower third of internode; without nematotheca (Fig. 1 D–F). Distal hydrocladial internodes with sharp distal end (Fig. 1 A).
Hydrothecae placed on basal half or third of hydrocladial internodes. Hydrotheca low, about as high as wide. Adcauline hydrothecal wall either completely adnate to internode (Fig. 1 D) or with tiny free portion (Fig. 1 E). Abcauline wall roughly straight. Hydrothecal aperture usually circular (Fig. 1 E), although frequently frontally depressed (Fig. 1 D); rim usually rising laterally.
Gonothecae immature, inverted cone-shaped (Fig. 1 A, G).
Remarks. Peña Cantero & Vervoort (2004) already stated that the number of axillary nematophores on the cauline apophyses was variable, finding apophyses with a single axillary nematophore and others with two, even on the same stem. We have also observed that variability and, as those authors indicated, there is a clear tendency in the axillary nematophores to coalesce (Fig. 1 C).

Gynandromorph
(Figs. 1–10)
DESCRIPTION: Body length 8.3 mm; head height 3.9 mm (w/labrum: 5.0 mm), head width 5.4 mm; mesosoma width 6.2 mm; metasoma width 5.9 mm.
Head. General appearance male-like; 11 flagellomeres on each antenna and clypeus yellow (Fig. 1). Pubescence mostly white on labrum, vertex, and parocular area, sides of head pale grey, pubescence on frons darker brown or tan around ocelli; no distinct morphological differences between sides (Figs. 1–4).
Mesosoma. Mix of male and female features. Bilateral split in pubescence coloration on the mesoscutum and mesoscutellum, right side generally pale in coloration like large male morph, except for a tan spot near tegula, left side pubescence tan, more similar to a small morph male or female in coloration (Figs. 2–4). Fore and middle legs generally female in appearance. Hind right leg female, hind left leg a mix of male and female features (Figs. 6–9). Medial side of leg appears female – darker colored, bushy scopal hairs on tibia and basitarsus (Fig 7). Lateral side of leg appears male – pubescence light grey and less dense in appearance on tibia and basitarsus (Fig. 8). Hind right leg with smaller than normal (for females) basitibial plate, centered towards the medial side of the tibia (Figs. 2, 4).
Metasoma. Not strongly sexually dimorphic in the first four terga/sterna, greyish-brown dorsally, with overall shape, and ventral setae density patern female-like. The specimen has seven exposed terga as in males (terga 1–5 easily visible in figure 5, terga 6 and 7 most visible in figure 10); terga 5 and 6 more closely match a male morphology, missing the heavily raised pygidial plate, and darker pygidial and prepygidial fimbria, of a female (Figs. 10–12). The genitalia appear to be female; on T6, there is a sting that may only be partially developed (recessed; Fig. 10) along with sting sheath (clearly visible surrounding the female sting in figure 12), however these could also be weakly developed male gonostyli (see figure 11 for comparison to a large male morph). To preserve the integrity of the specimen, dissection of the genitalia was not possible.
MATERIAL EXAMINED: The specimen is at the University of Arizona Insect Collection, Number UAIC 1052985.

(Figs 9, 16 I, 18A, 20A)
Material examined. New Zealand Antarctic Expedition TAN0802: Stn 17, Tangaroa, 9 February 2008, 73°07'47''S, 174°19'23''E (Ross Sea, Cape Adare), 321 m (NIWA 35536); Stn 117, Tangaroa, 21 February 2008, 72°35'41.99''S, 175°20'53"E (Ross Sea, Cape Adare), 479– 475m (NIWA 37198).
Description. Polysiphonic, unbranched stems, up to 100 mm high, irregularly divided into internodes. Three longitudinal rows of cauline apophyses (Fig. 9 F). Cauline apophyses with five to six nematophores: three to four axillary ones, provided with distinct, collar-shaped nematotheca, and two extra nematophores, each emerging through ‘mamelon’ (Fig. 9 B, F).
Hydrocladia much branched (Fig. 9 A), with up to third-order hydrocladia. First hydrocladial internode bifurcated, with two similar prongs (Fig. 9 A). Mesial inferior nematophore emerging from strongly marked swelling at proximal third of internode (Fig. 9 C); with well-developed nematotheca (Fig. 9 C–E). Hydrotheca placed on middle of internode or at its distal half (Fig. 9 C–D). Hydrotheca low, as high as wide. Adcauline hydrothecal wall with small, but distinct, free portion. Abcauline wall straight (Fig. 9 C). Hydrothecal aperture circular, perpendicular to long axis of internode (Fig. 9 C–D); rim even, sometimes with slight adcauline elevation.
Male gonotheca fusiform, with sub-terminal oval aperture (Fig. 9 G).
Remarks. The most remarkable result from the SEM study of this species is the finding of undescribed, distinct, collar-shaped nematothecae in the axillary nematophores of the cauline apophyses.
Variability in the number of axillary nematophores, found in Oswaldella laertesi and in certain other species of the genus (e.g. Oswaldella niobae), could be due to fusion.

description: We explore the interplay between symmetry and randomness in quantum information. Adopting a geometric approach, we consider states as $H$-equivalent if related by a symmetry transformation characterized by the group $H$. We then introduce the Haar measure on the homogeneous space $\mathbb{U}/H$, characterizing true randomness for $H$-equivalent systems. While this mathematical machinery is well-studied by mathematicians, it has seen limited application in quantum information: we believe our work to be the first instance of utilizing homogeneous spaces to characterize symmetry in quantum information. This is followed by a discussion of approximations of true randomness, commencing with $t$-wise independent approximations and defining $t$-designs on $\mathbb{U}/H$ and $H$-equivalent states. Transitioning further, we explore pseudorandomness, defining pseudorandom unitaries and states within homogeneous spaces. Finally, as a practical demonstration of our findings, we study the expressibility of quantum machine learning ansatze in homogeneous spaces. Our work provides a fresh perspective on the relationship between randomness and symmetry in the quantum world.

(Figs 10, 16 J, 18B, 20B)
Material examined. Spanish Antarctic Expedition GEBRAP 95: Stn 5, 1 January 1997, 62°52’40’’– 62°52’58’’S, 59°59’07’’– 59°58’02’’W (Bransfield Strait), 699–922 m (MNCN 2.03/342).
Description. Monosiphonic, unbranched stems, up to 68 mm high, divided into internodes. Cauline apophyses with one (Fig. 10 C) or two axillary nematophores (Fig. 10 B), each emerging through simple perisarc hole, and, usually, an extra nematophore emerging from ‘mamelon’ (Fig. 10 B).
Hydrocladia unbranched (Fig. 10 A) or bifurcated. First hydrocladial internode bifurcated, with two similar prongs. Mesial inferior nematophore emerging from marked swelling at basal half of internode (Fig. 10 E); without nematotheca (Fig. 10 D–E). Hydrotheca situated on distal half of internode (Fig. 10 A, D–E). Hydrotheca low, as high as wide. Abcauline hydrothecal wall straight, angle with long axis of internode ca. 45°. Adcauline wall mostly adnate. Hydrothecal aperture circular, slightly tilted downwards (Fig. 10 E).
Male gonotheca fusiform, with subterminal aperture.
Remarks. Sometimes, there is an intermediate athecate internode following cauline apophyses (Fig. 10 A). Athecate intermediate internodes have even been observed between thecate internodes (cf. Peña Cantero & Ramil 2006).
In the material examined there is variability in the number of nematophores of the cauline apophyses. There can be one or two axillary nematophores. In addition, although typically there is one conspicuous ‘mamelon’, it is absent in some apophyses (Fig. 10 C).

description: In this paper, an adaptive nonlinear strategy for the motion and force control of flexible manipulators is proposed. The approach provides robust motion control until contact is detected when force control is then available--without any control switch--, and vice versa. This self-tuning in mixed contact/non-contact scenarios is possible thanks to the unified formulation of force and motion control, including an integral transpose-based inverse kinematics and adaptive-update laws for the flexible manipulator link and contact stiffnesses. Global boundedness of all signals and asymptotic stability of force and position are guaranteed through Lyapunov analysis. The control strategy and its implementation has been validated using a low-cost basic microcontroller and a manipulator with 3 flexible joints and 4 actuators. Complete experimental results are provided in a realistic mixed contact scenario, demonstrating very-low computational demand with inexpensive force sensors.
