description: Tribe Eurybrachini Stål, 1862
The tribe Eurybrachini Stål, 1862 was defined by Schmidt (1908) with the following distinctive features: (1) clavus open; (2) claval veins not fused in clavus; (3) infra-ocular spine present.
This tribe is restricted to the Oriental region and contains five genera (Schmidt 1908; Metcalf 1956; Constant 2006): Eurybrachys Guérin-Méneville, 1834, Messena Stål, 1861, Nicidus Stål, 1858, Purusha Distant, 1906 and Thessitus Walker, 1862.

description: This study is a first step approach towards the prediction of the proportion of grassland-based feeds (%GB) in dairy cow diets with the aid of three different groups of milk biomarkers. We aimed to evaluate and quantify the associations between biomarkers commonly suggested in the literature and %GB in individual cows as a hypothesis-generating stage for the prospective establishment of accurate %GB prediction models. Consumers and governments financially encourage sustainable, local milk production making grass-based feeding, in grassland-dominated regions, of major interest. Milk from grassland-fed cows differs from that of other feeding systems by inferential fatty acids (FA), β-carotene content and yellow color; however, these biomarkers have not been evaluated together for their association with %GB. Using approved methods of parametric regression analysis, gas chromatography (GC), mid-infrared spectra (MIR) and color spectroscopy, we aimed to develop a first step towards an easy-to-implement, cost-effective milk-based control to estimate %GB in dairy cow diets. The underlying database was generated with 24 cows each fed one of 24 different diets gradually increasing in grass silage and decreasing in corn silage. Our results indicate that GC-measured α-linolenic acid, total n-3 FA and the n-6:n-3 ratio, MIR-estimated PUFA and milk red-green color index a* are robust milk biomarkers for constructing accurate prediction models to determine %GB. Based on simplified regression analysis, diets containing 75% GB should contain ≥ 0.669 and 0.852 g α-linolenic acid and total n-3 FA per 100 g total FA, respectively, and an n-6:n-3 FA ratio of < 2.02 measured with GC; estimated with MIR, polyunsaturated FA should be ≥ 3.13 g/100 g total FA. β-carotene was not a good predictor for estimating %GB. Unexpectedly, the milk became greener with increasing %GB (negative a* values, ‒6.416 for 75% GB), suggesting the red-green color index, not yellow-blue, as a suitable biomarker.

Advancements in modeling crowd navigation from cognition to simulation to prediction

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: This dissertation advances autonomous systems and cognitive modeling by addressing key challenges in simulation and prediction technologies. We propose novel solutions across several areas: cognitive approaches, spatial cognition, crowd behavior prediction, and trajectory forecasting. Traditional autonomous navigation models often rely on omniscient assumptions, which, while efficient, fail to capture individualized behaviors. Our new framework incorporates cognitive architectures with memory systems, enabling agents to create and use cognitive maps, thus simulating more realistic and nuanced wayfinding behaviors. In spatial cognition, we develop a computational methodology to standardize the analysis of structure mapping tasks. This approach enhances the accuracy of assessing spatial relationships and allows for better comparisons between human and agent representations. For crowd behavior prediction, we introduce a deep learning framework that utilizes the novel representation CAGE and a modified SegNet architecture. This framework provides instant long-term predictions of crowd flow, effectively capturing dynamics over extended periods and adapting to new environments. Furthermore, we improve prediction accuracy and scalability with Fourier Isovists and the GeoInteractNet framework, which combines multi-scale attention networks with convolutional encoder-decoder networks. In the domain of human trajectory prediction, we present the A2X dataset and new evaluation metrics, including multiverse metrics, to address existing limitations and enhance model reliability. This work integrates cognitive modeling, crowd flow prediction, and trajectory forecasting, offering practical solutions and advancing the state-of-the-art in autonomous systems and spatial cognition. The subsequent chapters detail the methodologies, experiments, and results supporting these advancements.

description: This document is the Federated Architecture Blueprint for DARE UK. It defines a potential approach for an overall architecture for a network of sensitive data sources and secure analytical services in terms which are broadly—and deliberately—technology neutral. Choices of implementation technology are not dealt with here, nor are details of costs, benefits and delivery plan.

This document covers architecture version 2. It refines the model of a federated network infrastructure from the “initial” and “interim” versions, builds further on the “data layer” and most significantly draws in lessons and learnings from the 2023 DARE UK Driver Project programme.

description: Echtzeit-Strategiespiele stützen sich auf künstliche Intelligenz, um dem Spieler ein fesselndes Erlebnis mit herausfordernden und intelligenten Gegnern zu bieten. Die Techniken, die solche Aspekte ermöglichen, erfordern einen beträchtlichen Aufwand, wenn sie von Grund auf neu entwickelt werden, daher kann es für Spieleentwickler nützlich sein, sie in einem einzigen Framework integriert zu haben. Diese Arbeit schlägt eine Sammlung von Funktionen vor, die in einer C++ Single-Header-Datei unter dem Namen Vienna Game AI Library geschrieben wurden. Sie umfasst Pathfinding unter Verwendung des A*-Algorithmus auf Navigationsnetzen mit geometrischer Vorverarbeitung und Multithreading, Entscheidungsprozesse wie Decision Trees und Finite State Machines sowie Steuerungsverhalten sowohl für einzelne als auch für Gruppeneinheiten. Jede einzelne Funktion wird in einer separaten Demo vorgestellt, die als Beispiel für potenzielle Nutzer der Bibliothek dient. In diesem Beitrag wird die Bibliothek unter Entwicklungsgesichtspunkten eingehend untersucht und anhand ihrer Anwendbarkeit, Leistungsfähigkeit und Benutzerfreundlichkeit bewertet. Die Ergebnisse dieses Papers zeigen, dass die Vienna Game AI Library entwicklerfreundlich ist und effiziente Funktionen bietet, die für die Entwicklung eines 2D-Echtzeitstrategiespiels aus KI-Sicht ausreichend sind.
description: Real-time strategy games rely on artificial intelligence to provide immersive experiences, along with challenging and intelligent opponents for the player. The techniques that enable such aspects require significant effort if developed from scratch, thus it may be useful for game developers to have them integrated into a single framework. This thesis proposes a collection of features written in a C++ single-header file under the name of Vienna Game AI Library. It encompasses pathfinding using the A* algorithm on navigation meshes with geometric preprocessing and multithreading, decision-making processes such as decision trees and state machines, and steering behaviours for both individual and group units. Each individual feature is showcased in a separate demo that serves as an example for potential users of the library. This paper provides a detailed examination of the library from a development point of view and evaluates it on the basis of its applicability, performance, and usability. The findings of this paper demonstrate that the Vienna Game AI Library is developer friendly and offers efficient features that are sufficient to create a 2D real-time strategy game from an AI perspective.

description: Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajanL.) is an important pulse crop in the Indian diet and one of the most important sources of dietary protein for the population. Organoleptic qualities of pigeon pea dal were tested to draw conclusions on the preferred varieties. Organoleptic qualities such as taste, texture, aroma, tenderness, sweetness and overall acceptance were tested by a trained sensory panel. Available and commercially viable improved varieties were selected for the analysis. All samples were milled and cooked under the same conditions. Results indicated that PUSA ARHAR 16, one of the improved varieties, presents a good potential in terms of agronomic characteristics for farmers and is also well accepted by the sensory panel during the organoleptic evaluation. Generating sound scientific evidence on organoleptic characteristics of pigeon pea is important for the breeders, as they will evaluate which varieties have a commercial potential and are accepted by the consumers.

Mineralization treatment of European oak heartwood with calcium oxalate for improved fire retardancy

Year: 2021

description: Within the focus to apply substances for wood protections, here fire retardants, with low hazardous and low environmental impact is of interest. Additionally, European oak is an attractive species for various interior and exterior applications. However, oak is classified as very heavily treatable and thus impregnation is challenging. However, the focus of this study was to treat European oak with a new fire retardant based on an in-situ calcium oxalate deposition. Thin oak specimens with a thickness of 4 mm were investigated with two various formulations of aqueous salt solutions (potassium oxalate and calcium chloride, and potassium oxalate and calcium acetate) to obtain an in-situ mineralization of calcium oxalate during a two-step impregnation process. The uptake, the distribution, and the penetration of the salts for both applied formulations were investigated. Additionally, fire retardant properties were investigated in a single flame source test. It could be demonstrated that an acceptable degree of treatability was achieved for both applied formulations. The fire retardancy of the so mineralized material was clearly improved. Synergetic effects which might be caused by the reaction side products of the various formulations were found to be neglectable.

description: Rock slope failure (RSF) from permafrost-affected rockwall is an emerging threat for human lives and infrastructure which raises a need for RSF hazard assessments in the alpine environment. This study proposes the first mapping approach to RSF release and propagation areas in the French Alps. By analysing a unique RSF database (1389 recent events in the Mont Blanc massif), we determine three levels of RSF Susceptibility Indexes (RSI) to map the potential release areas. We highlight a strong correlation between RSF and permafrost: 99 % of RSFs occurred from rockwalls with a Mean Annual Rock Surface Temperature (MARST) ≤ 3 °C and 35 % with MARST from −2 to 0 °C. The release area maps (34 km2 to 284 km2 depending on the RSI) are entered into a simple propagation model (RockavELA), using a dimensionless area-based energy line principle (i.e. reach susceptibility) to map propagation areas of potential RSFs. Three propagation limits are proposed, fitting the propagation characteristics of another RSF database containing 3497 events observed across the European Alps with heterogeneous propagation substrates, and merged with 48 additional events from high mountains in the French Alps. RockavELA reproduced the runout extent of 20 high mountain RSFs with <50 % of frontal and lateral error. Output maps show little sensitivity to the propagation limits (<25 % difference between the high and low propagation limits). This work is a preliminary step to identify potential hazard hot spots in the French Alps, and proposes a novel approach that could be applied in other mountain ranges.

Figs 10 A–B, 11 A–C, 13 C–D, 16 B
Diagnosis
The males of Afroneutria hybrida sp. nov. differ from those of the other species of the genus by the laminar embolus with acute tip, the short additional subdistal projection of the embolus and the truncated RTA (Figs 11 A–B, 13 C–D).
Etymology
The specific name is derived from Latin ibrida, meaning a mongrel, specifically the offspring of a tame sow and a wild boar, and making reference to the similarity of the morphology to that of Afroneutria velox comb. nov. and A. quadrimaculata sp. nov.

description: Cultural heritage built from limestone is prone to deterioration by chemical weathering, a natural process, that is enhanced by pollution. There are many historic monuments built from calcareous rocks that suffer from deterioration, and thus there have been a number of approaches over the last few decades to consolidate these types of rocks and surfaces. Using natural biological processes by fostering the activity of calcite-producing bacteria, also referred to as biomineralization, is one strategy that has also been commercialized. The base of proving the effectiveness of any surface treatment is the observation of the surface at sequential stages before and after treatment, as well as after exposure to weathering. Due to the heterogeneity of natural materials and processes, our aim was to observe identical test areas at the micron scale throughout the observation period. In order to achieve this on a tungsten SEM, we employed a beam deceleration accessory that allowed low kV imaging on non-conductive surfaces at a sufficiently high image resolution with a modified sample holder accommodating drill cores of 25 mm diameter and up to 15 mm height. The presented method is capable of producing time-sequenced images on the same test area on natural rock surface samples without manipulation for imaging purposes. This offers interesting perspectives for effective documentation of such processes in various fields.

Trematuridae.— Halliday 2016: 357; Abo-Shnaf et al. 2018: 547.
The genus Nenteria was placed in the family Nenteriidae by Hirschmann (1979) with no diagnosis or description for the family. This family was never described and its name remains a nomen nudum (Halliday 2016). Thus, genus Nenteria is here placed in the family Trematuridae following Karg (1989) and Mašán (2001).
Diagnosis. The family diagnosis of Abo-Shnaf et al. (2018) was followed.

Während ein breiter Einsatz von Pflegerobotern in der Schweiz noch undenkbar scheint, hat bspw. die Robbe PARO bereits Einzug in schweizerische Pflegeheime gefunden. Doch wie kann die Rolle von Pflegerobotern in der Palliative Care gedacht werden, einem Bereich der Gesundheitsversorgung, der sich durch den Verzicht auf hoch-technologisierte Maschinen auszeichnet und in dem soziale wie auch emotionale Kommunikation und Intelligenz zentral für pflegerisches Handeln sind?

Nenteria hypotrichus El-Borolossy & El-Banhawy, in Afia 1995 is a nomen nudum. Nenteria hypotrichus was described in an unpublished Ph D thesis by Afia (1995). Afia (1995) does not make the name N. hypotrichus available because the dissertation does not meet the criteria for publication (ICZN Article 8.1.3). El-Banhawy et al. (1997) also does not make the name available because they did not designate type specimens (ICZN Article 72.3), but it is included here because it represents a taxonomically useful concept.

description: 3.3. Revised morphological characters for Echiniscus becki and Echiniscus laterosetosus
An analysis of the type material of E. becki revealed new traits crucial in determining its phylogenetic position. The dorsal plate sculpturing comprises tightly arranged, polygonal endocuticular pillars (Fig. 9A); they lack centrally positioned pores typical for the blumi-canadensis complex of species and Testechiniscus (Gąsiorek et al., 2018). In contrary to the original description (Schuster and Grigarick, 1966), the species does not have dark red eye spots, which always dissolve in Hoyer’ s medium, but large black crystalline eyes identifiable in all examined paratypes (Fig. 9B). An erroneous ascribing of the red colour most probably resulted from a strong orange-reddish glow enclosing eyes. In fact, already the description in Schuster and Grigarick (1966) raised suspicions as the authors drew well-identifiable eyes in the mounted holotypic female, whereas red carotenoid eyes in echiniscids in the vast majority of cases vanish within an hour from preparing a permanent slide with a tardigrade. Echiniscus becki exhibits also a pair of exceptionally shaped subcephalic plates, which extend from the lateral portions of the head and twist in a boomerang-like manner at the level of pharynx (Fig. 9B).
Representatives of E. laterosetosus, collected in the high mountains of Honshu, allowed for providing the morphological details relevant to its taxonomy. Eye spots, drawn in the original description without stating their colour (Ito, 1993), are small and black (Fig. 10A). The dorsal plate sculpturing consists of well-developed endocuticular pillars, each joined by striae with four or five neighbouring pillars, and pores distributed between them (Fig. 10B).
