description: LOXOSCELES Heineken & Lowe, 1835
(Fig. 8)
 Loxosceles Heineken & Lowe, 1835: 321; Simon, 1893: 272; Gertsch, 1958: 5; Newlands, 1975: 142, 1986: 62; Brignoli, 1978: 18; Gertsch & Ennik, 1983: 277; Platnick, Codington, Forster & Griswold, 1991: 54, 71; Dippenaar-Schoeman & Jocqu, 1997: 277; Ubrick, 2005; Jocqu & Dippenaar-Schoeman, 2006: 230.
 Omosites Walckenaer 1833: 438.
 Considered a senior synonym of Calheirosia Mello-Leitão, 1917 by Brignoli, 1978: 18, and of Loxoscella Strand, 1906 by Gertsch & Ennik, 1983: 277; the spelling Lososcelis is an invalid emendation.
Diagnosis: Carapace longer than wide with deep fovea; clypeus porrect; sternum longer than wide; abdomen oblong with barbed or spine-like setae; and legs long and slender.
 Distribution: Loxosceles is known from South Africa to southern Europe and from the tropical zones of North and South America. At present the distribution of this genus in the Afrotropical region can be divided into four areas: northwest, northeast, southern and Madagascar, with the species L. rufescens (Dufour, 1820) reportedly (Gertsch & Ennik 1983) being an introduced species into Madagascar. Duncan, Rynerson, Ribera & Binford (2010) also places it in Sudan and St. Helena. Duncan et al. (2010) also lists a specimen of L. rufipes (Lucas, 1834) from Serra Leone.
Note: Newlands (1986) used abdominal colour in the identification of some southern African species. However, two specimens collected from the same cave in northwestern Botswana showed abdominal colouration that vary from a dark brown to a uniformly colour without a pattern. This indicates that colour is a veriable character and cannot be used in the identification of species.
 Newlands (1975) synonymized four southern African species with L. spinulosa Purcell, 1904, but in his 1986 thesis he revalidates them again. However these changes are still unpublished and are examined here.
 Brignoli (1976) mentioned the possibility of six new species for the Afrotropical region (noted as species A to F). Of these, species F have since been described as L. vonwredei Newlands, 1980. This would leave a further three or four new species still to be described.

description: Poisson brackets between conserved quantities are a fundamental tool in the theory of integrable systems. The subclass of weakly nonlocal Poisson brackets occurs in many significant integrable systems. Proving that a weakly nonlocal differential operator defines a Poisson bracket can be challenging. We propose a computational approach to this problem through the identification of such operators with superfunctions on supermanifolds.

description: Additional file 1: Table A. Four breeding colonies of purple martins (Progne subis) along with the number of GPS units (Lotek) deployed and retrieved at each site for spring migration tracking (2017–2020). Figure S1. Relationship between distance traveled by Purple Martins and amount of daylight available in each 12 h tracking period. Daylight hours are defined as the time between sunrise and sunset, and the amount of daylight per track was calculated according to the GPS locations and fix times at the beginning and end of a track (i.e. time between sunrise/sunset at the bird’s start location and sunset/sunrise at the bird’s end location). During predominantly daytime flights, an increase in available daylight did not influence distances traveled (a), but there was a statistically significant effect during predominantly nighttime flights (b). These results indicate that some of the flight attributed to nighttime likely occurs during daylight hours.

description: We consider graphs made of one-dimensional wires connected at vertices and on which may live a scalar potential. We are interested in a scattering situation where the graph is connected to infinite leads. We investigate relations between the scattering matrix and the continuous part of the local density of states, the injectivities, emissivities and partial local density of states. Those latter quantities can be obtained by attaching an extra lead at the point of interest and by investigating the transport in the limit of zero transmission into the additional lead. In addition to the continuous part related to the scattering states, the spectrum of graphs may present a discrete part related to states that remain uncoupled to the external leads. The theory is illustrated with the help of a few simple examples.

description: The visual exploration of retinal blood vessels assists ophthalmologists in the diagnoses of different abnormalities of the eyes
such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cardiovascular ailment, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, and age-related macular
degeneration. The manual inspection of retinal vasculature is an extremely challenging and tedious task for medical experts
due to the complex structure of an eye, tiny blood vessels, and variation in vessels width. Several automatic retinal vessels
extraction techniques have been proposed in contemporary literature, which assist ophthalmologists in the timely identification
of an eye disorders. However, due to the fast evolution of such techniques, a comprehensive survey is needed. This
survey presents a comprehensive review of such techniques, strategies, and algorithms presented to date. The techniques are
classified into logical groups based on the underlying methodology employed for retinal vessel extraction. The performance
of existing techniques is reported on the publicly accessible datasets in term of various performance measures, providing a
valuable comparison among the techniques. Thus, this survey presents a valuable resource for researchers working toward
automatic extraction of retinal vessels.

The Mathematical Structure of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: The essence of the second law of classical thermodynamics is the `entropy principle' which asserts the existence of an additive and extensive entropy function, S, that is defined for all equilibrium states of thermodynamic systems and whose increase characterizes the possible state changes under adiabatic conditions. It is one of the few really fundamental physical laws (in the sense that no deviation, however tiny, is permitted) and its consequences are far reaching. This principle is independent of models, statistical mechanical or otherwise, and can be understood without recourse to Carnot cycles, ideal gases and other assumptions about such things as `heat', `temperature', `reversible processes', etc., as is usually done. Also the well known formula of statistical mechanics, S = -\sum p log p, is not needed for the derivation of the entropy principle. This contribution is partly a summary of our joint work (Physics Reports, Vol. 310, 1--96 (1999)) where the existence and uniqueness of S is proved to be a consequence of certain basic properties of the relation of adiabatic accessibility among equilibrium states. We also present some open problems and suggest directions for further study.

description: We compute the renormalization group running of the Newton constant and the parameter $λ$ in $(3+1)$-dimensional projectable Horava gravity. We use the background field method expanding around configurations with flat spatial metric, but non-vanishing shift. This allows us to reduce the number of interaction vertices and thereby drastically simplify the calculations. The gauge invariant $β$-function of $λ$ has two families of zeros, attractive in the infrared and ultraviolet respectively. They are candidates for the fixed points of the full renormalization group flow of the theory, once the $β$-functions for the rest of the couplings are added.

description: We experimentally and theoretically investigate the dynamics of inhibitory coupled self-driven oscillators on a star network in which a single central hub node is connected to $k$ peripheral arm nodes. The system consists of water-in-oil Belousov-Zhabotinsky $\sim$100$μ$m emulsion drops contained in storage wells etched in silicon wafers. We observed three dynamical attractors by varying the number of arms in the star graph and the coupling strength; ($i$) unlocked; uncorrelated phase shifts between all oscillators, ($ii$) locked; arm-hubs synchronized in-phase with a $k$-dependent phase shift between the arm and central hub, and ($iii$) center silent; central hub stopped oscillating and the arm-hubs oscillated without synchrony. We compare experiment to theory. For case ($ii$), we identified a logarithmic dependence of the phase shift on star degree, and were able to discriminate between contributions to the phase shift arising from star topology and oscillator chemistry.

description: The advantages of high-order finite difference scheme for astrophysical MHD and turbulence simulations are highlighted. A number of one-dimensional test cases are presented ranging from various shock tests to Parker-type wind solutions. Applications to magnetized accretion discs and their associated outflows are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the possibility of dynamo action in three-dimensional turbulent convection and shear flows, which is relevant to stars and astrophysical discs. The generation of large scale fields is discussed in terms of an inverse magnetic cascade and the consequences imposed by magnetic helicity conservation are reviewed with particular emphasis on the issue of alpha-quenching.

description: The highly variable clinical outcomes have made it difficult to identify the precise mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and thus the development of a specific cure or treatment to halt and reverse the inexorable decline in patient health. Chronic inflammation is a cardinal feature of IPF and is driven by both innate and adaptive immune responses. We recently demonstrated a potential role for antibody secreting plasma B cells (PCs) in the development of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in mice. Human studies also showed both elevated serum autoantibodies and elevated numbers of antibody secreting cells in IPF blood, and the accumulation of mature PCs adjacent to areas of active lung fibrosis in IPF lung tissue, supporting a functional role for PCs in IPF pathogenesis. We have used a multi-omics approach to examine the B cell repertoire of a subset of IPF patients and age-matched controls as well as screening IPF patient sera against a proteomic array to identify potential human autoantigens. We have shown that the B cell repertoire in IPF differs to that of control patients, with IPF patients displaying a restricted antibody repertoire compared to controls and evidence of B cell clonal expansion. We have identified a range of novel autoantigens in a subset of IPF patients. These findings suggest an approach for stratifying IPF patients based on an autoimmune phenotype that may inform treatment options for some of these patients. The UNFOLD study investigates the potential of immunotherapy for this chronic lung disease and specifically will 1) Validate specific common autoantigens using larger, geographically disparate IPF patient cohorts. 2) develop more appropriate and sensitive screening assays for early diagnosis and stratification to identify autoimmune IPF patients and 3). Test the suitability of novel plasma cell-specific B cell ablation and CAR-T cell therapy approaches in pre-clinical models of lung fibrosis.

The patella was placed in vertical position, with the basis patellae and the apex patellae approximately aligned in the sagittal plane. In the frontal plane, the patella was centered in the sphere (see Fig. S2). Then, the patella was moved towards the sphere (in both sagittal and dorsoventral planes) until the vertical crest of the facies articularis of the patella touched the sphere. A cube that enclosed the patella was used to find the patella’s midpoint.Coordinate systems were aligned to the axes of the global coordinate system [x (red, positive direction points caudally, y (green, positive direction points medially) and z (blue, positive direction points upwards)]. Green, and red dots indicate that those axes point into the picture. Figure S4.

description: A single-crystal sample of a DO3-ordered Fe3Si compound was studied by means of the 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. Spectra have been recorded in a transmission geometry in the temperature range between 5 and 850 K. They have been analyzed either in terms of five sextets or five hyperfine field distribution curves. Concerning the former three sub spectra have been attributed to Fe atoms occupying the B sites and having 8Fe, 7Fe1Si and 6Fe2Si atoms in the first coordination shell (1NN), respectively, and two have been attributed to Fe atoms residing on the A and C sites and having 4Fe4Si and 3Fe5Si atoms in the 1NN, respectively. Based on the temperature dependence of the center shifts values the Debye temperature, T_D, have been determined. TD was found to be equal to 491 (11) K for the sites A and C, and to 403 (3) K the site B. The smaller value of T_D coincides with the smaller values of the hyperfine field, H. Changes in H caused by one Si atom present in the 1NN have been determined as ca.13 kOe for Fe atoms occupying the A and C sites and ca.54 kOe for Fe atoms present on the B sites. These changes have been also expressed in terms of the underlying number of polarized s-like electrons, dNs. For the Fe atoms situated on the A and C sites dNs=0.03 was found while for those occupying the B sites dNs=0.17.

description: We present an experimental study of two-dimensional superconducting quantum interference filters (2D-SQIFs) in the presence of a magnetic field B. The dependences of the dc voltage on the applied magnetic field are characterized by a unique delta-like dip at B=0, which depends on the distribution of the areas of the individual loops, and on the bias current. The voltage span of the dip scales proportional to the number of rows simultaneously operating at the same working point. In addition, the voltage response of the 2D-SQIF is sensitive to a field gradient generated by a control line and superimposed to the homogeneous field coil. This feature opens the possibility to use 2D superconducting quantum interference filters as highly sensitive detectors of spatial gradients of magnetic field.

description: The necessary data on agriculture must be available for public and private decision-makers in the agricultural sector to use agricultural information for decision-making, solve problems or increase their knowledge. As a result of the deregulation of the agricultural marketing sector in South Africa, the supply of these data decreased. Also, the needs for data on agriculture of the various decision-makers, i.e. the policy-makers, researchers, agricultural service industries as well as the farmers and extension officers, changed. Since information systems are based on the needs of the decision-makers, the need for data on agriculture should be determined before either existing methodologies are improved or new methodologies are introduced to increase the supply of data on agriculture in South Africa.

description: In the Directed Disjoint Paths problem, we are given a digraph $D$ and a set of requests $\{(s_1, t_1), \ldots, (s_k, t_k)\}$, and the task is to find a collection of pairwise vertex-disjoint paths $\{P_1, \ldots, P_k\}$ such that each $P_i$ is a path from $s_i$ to $t_i$ in $D$. This problem is NP-complete for fixed $k=2$ and W[1]-hard with parameter $k$ in DAGs. A few positive results are known under restrictions on the input digraph, such as being planar or having bounded directed tree-width, or under relaxations of the problem, such as allowing for vertex congestion. Positive results are scarce, however, for general digraphs. In this article we propose a novel global congestion metric for the problem: we only require the paths to be "disjoint enough", in the sense that they must behave properly not in the whole graph, but in an unspecified part of size prescribed by a parameter. Namely, in the Disjoint Enough Directed Paths problem, given an $n$-vertex digraph $D$, a set of $k$ requests, and non-negative integers $d$ and $s$, the task is to find a collection of paths connecting the requests such that at least $d$ vertices of $D$ occur in at most $s$ paths of the collection. We study the parameterized complexity of this problem for a number of choices of the parameter, including the directed tree-width of $D$. Among other results, we show that the problem is W[1]-hard in DAGs with parameter $d$ and, on the positive side, we give an algorithm in time $\mathcal{O}(n^{d+2} \cdot k^{d\cdot s})$ and a kernel of size $d \cdot 2^{k-s}\cdot \binom{k}{s} + 2k$ in general digraphs. This latter result has consequences for the Steiner Network problem: we show that it is FPT parameterized by the number $k$ of terminals and $p$, where $p = n - q$ and $q$ is the size of the solution.

description: KPK’S Strong Efforts to Eradicate Corruption in Indonesia - Prof. Sjamsiar Sjamsuddin

AbstractThis paper describes some efforts made by KPK (Corruption Watch Commission) in eradicating / abolishing corruption in Indonesia. It has not been so easy for KPK to do this as it faces some hindrances especially those related with some normative procedures. The weakening acts toward this anti-corruption institution includes changing the legislation to decrease the authority of this anti corruption institution, by revisingKPK’s legislation which is UU No. 30/2002. Another is by restructuring instutution to decrease itsindependence and by reduing its resources and budget. Yet, this spoke againts the public resulting in thewithdrawal of KPK’s UU revised draft. Related to that issue, there are 10 proposed reasons why KPK mustkeep its existence, having all of its current authorities. Reflecting from other countries as comparison, there isalso an organization similar to KPK in the sense that there has been a widespread effort to abolish corruptioneverywhere from the developed countries, developing and underdeveloped countries. In other word, KPKmust permanently exist as it is truly needed even must be included in the amandment of government’sconstitution.
Probing Dark Matter Substructure in Lens Galaxies

description: We investigate the effects of numerous dark matter subhalos in a galaxy-sized halo on the events of strong lensing, to assess their presence as expected from the cold dark matter scenario. Lens galaxies are represented by a smooth ellipsoid in an external shear field and additional cold dark matter subhalos taken from Monte Carlo realizations which accord with recent N-body results. We also consider other possible perturbers, globular clusters and luminous dwarf satellites, for comparison. We then apply the models to the particular lens systems with four images, B1422+231 and PG1115+080, for which smooth lens models are unable to reproduce both the positions of the images and their radio flux ratios or dust-free optical flux ratios simultaneously. We show that the perturbations by both globular clusters and dwarf satellites are too small to change the flux ratios, whereas cold dark matter subhalos are most likely perturbers to reproduce the observed flux ratios in a statistically significant manner. This result suggests us the presence of numerous subhalos in lens galaxies, which is consistent with the results of cosmological N-body simulations.

description: The article discusses the trends in farm employment over time in South Africa. This is followed by the presentation of six case studies of specific commodities and regions with the view to establishing the potential employment effects of various changes in the policy environment. The article ends with an assessment of selected aspects of the wider environment within which the sector operates, to ascertain the extent to which such policy shifts are feasible, i.e. whether the measured effects in employment generation are likely to happen.

 Loxosceles meruensis Tullgren, 1910: 100, pl. 1, f. 11.
 Loxoscella meruensis, Caporiacco, 1947: 104.
Types: 1♀ type from Kenya: Meru, [0005'N, 3744'E], Sjöstedt; 1juv. ♂ from Tanzania: Kilimandjaro, Kibonoto, [0311'S, 3706'E], Sjöstedt [not seen, see note].
 Note: The location of the type specimens is unknown at present. Two specimen on loan from the HNHM collection were examined: A juvenile female labeled— Loxosceles meruensis (Tullg.) / HNHM Araneae —5340 / Urso, Kovács 1283; and a male labeled— Loxosceles sp. / 1283 Urso / 1912 Lg. Kovács Ödön. The drawings depicted here are from the male specimen. The Urso locality is— Ethiopia: Urso, [0936'N, 4138'E]. These specimens seem to be the specimens mentioned by Caporiacco (1947) (same locality, collector and collector number), except he mentions two females and not a male and female.
 Diagnosis: Male palp tibia and cymbium long similar to L. parramae and L. speluncarum; differing from both these species by having an angular bend and not a smooth curve in the cymbium close to the palp bulb (Fig. 10D). Female not seen.
 Female: (from type description): CL = 3.0; CW = 2.8.
Leg measurements:
 Distribution: Loxosceles meruensis is distributed in caves in Ethiopia and Kenya (Fig. 13A).

description: The effect of spin-disorder scattering on perpendicular transport in a magnetic monolayer is considered within the single-site Coherent Potential Approximation (CPA). The exchange interaction between a conduction electron and localized moment of the magnetic ion is treated with the use of the $s-f$ model. Electron-spin polarization is evaluated in the tunnel current which comes from the different densities of spin-up, spin-down conduction electrons at the Fermi level in a ferromagnetic semiconductor (EuS). Calculated results are compared with some tunneling experiments.

description: Floods periodically cause loss of life and damage to property. Provided adequate records are available, it is possible to forecast probabilities of flood damage. Governments have traditionally preferred controlling floods by physical structures. However, flood damage increases over time, partially induced indirectly by these structures, and institutional problems are quite common. Communities have historically not been involved, and inadequate attention has been bestowed on ecological aspects of floods and flood management. Future policy should aim at sustainable flood management, with an institutional system that facilitates sustainability. The paper outlines a framework within which such policy can be developed.

description: By suitably adapting a recent approach [A. Laio and M. Parrinello, PNAS, 99, 12562 (2002)] we develop a powerful molecular dynamics method for the study of pressure-induced structural transformations. We use the edges of the simulation cell as collective variables. In the space of these variables we define a metadynamics that drives the system away from the local minimum towards a new crystal structure. In contrast to the Parrinello-Rahman method our approach shows no hysteresis and crystal structure transformations can occur at the equilibrium pressure. We illustrate the power of the method by studying the pressure-induced diamond to simple hexagonal phase transition in a model of silicon.

A weak solution theory for stochastic Volterra equations of convolution type

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We obtain general weak existence and stability results for stochastic convolution equations with jumps under mild regularity assumptions, allowing for non-Lipschitz coefficients and singular kernels. Our approach relies on weak convergence in $L^p$ spaces. The main tools are new a priori estimates on Sobolev-Slobodeckij norms of the solution, as well as a novel martingale problem that is equivalent to the original equation. This leads to generic approximation and stability theorems in the spirit of classical martingale problem theory. We also prove uniqueness and path regularity of solutions under additional hypotheses. To illustrate the applicability of our results, we consider scaling limits of nonlinear Hawkes processes and approximations of stochastic Volterra processes by Markovian semimartingales.
