description: Along Peru’s rainforest rivers, rising flood extremes are increasingly exceeding coping capacities of vulnerable households. Peru has detailed legislation that embraces planned relocation as a strategic solution to such situations and various relocation projects are underway across the country. This research brief analyzes well-being consequences for two communities requesting relocation, using qualitative data collected from experts and 30 affected people. Initial results emphasize that weak governance, poverty, third-party involvement, and community action have influenced relocation outcomes. Delays and fragmented implementation have threatened people’s well-being. One community, waiting for land to relocate since 2015, has suffered from continued hazard exposure, deteriorated material conditions, and reduced subjective well-being. The second community achieved relocation only after a decade in detrimental limbo. Although livelihood challenges persist, its inhabitants now benefit from better market access and decreased exposure, leading to higher subjective well-being. With rising needs for relocation worldwide, the cases highlight that detailed legislation is not sufficient to safeguard people’s well-being. Advancing from well-meant legislation to good practice requires adequate institutional capacity, effective mechanisms for oversight and accountability, better engagement of third parties, and dedicated efforts to strengthen community agency.

description: Polyamide 6 (PA6) is known to absorb water from its environment due to its chemical structure. This water absorption leads to a change in the mechanical properties as well as an increase in volume (swelling) of the polyamide. In the present work, the sorption and swelling behaviour of polyamide 6 in different conditioning environments was experimentally investigated on different part geometries to develop a finite element (FE) method on the basis of the measured data that numerically calculates the sorption and swelling behaviour. The developed method includes two analyses using the Abaqus software. Both the concentration-dependent implementation of the simulation parameters and the calculation of swelling-induced stresses are performed. This enables the modelling of the sorption curves until maximum saturation is reached and the simulation of the characteristic S-shaped swelling curves. Therefore, the developed methodology represents an efficient method for predicting the sorption and swelling behaviour of polyamide 6 parts during conditioning in a water bath. The determined properties provide the basis for the development of an FE-based simulation environment to take moisture absorption into account during the part design. This enables the calculation of moisture-induced swelling processes and the resulting initial stresses in a given part.

description: We present preliminary results for the charm quark mass in the $N_f=4$ RGI scheme. These were obtained using $N_f=2+1$ CLS ensembles with $\mathcal{O}(a)$ non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions. We employed five different lattice spacings, ranging down to $a\lesssim 0.04$ fm and realized approximately physical pion and kaon masses, with ensembles spread out along three different trajectories in the quark mass plane, enabling a thorough study of the dependence on the lattice spacing and the light and strange sea quark masses. We sketch our analysis strategy and find that the dominant errors at present are due to the renormalization and scale setting uncertainties.

description: Lake Towuti is located on central Sulawesi/Indonesia, within the Indo Pacific Warm Pool, a globally important region for atmospheric heat and moisture budgets. In 2015 the Towuti Drilling Project recovered more than 1000 m of drill core from the lake, along with downhole geophysical logging data from two drilling sites. The cores constitute the longest continuous lacustrine sediment succession from the Indo Pacific Warm Pool. We combined lithological descriptions with borehole logging data and used multivariate statistics to better understand the cyclic sequence, paleoenvironments, and geochronology of these sediments. Accurate chronologies are crucial to analyze and interpret paleoclimate records. Astronomical tuning can help build age-depth models and fill gaps between age control points. Cyclostratigraphic investigations were conducted on a downhole magnetic susceptibility log from the lacustrine facies (10–98 m below lake floor) from a continuous record of sediments in Lake Towuti. This study provides insights into the sedimentary history of the basin between radiometric ages derived from dating a tephra layer (~ 797 ka) and C14-ages (~ 45 ka) in the cores. We derived an age model that spans from late marine isotope stage (MIS) 23 to late MIS 6 (903 ± 11 to 131 ± 67 ka). Although uncertainties caused by the relatively short record and the small differences in the physical properties of sediments limited the efficacy of our approach, we suggest that eccentricity cycles and/or global glacial-interglacial climate variability were the main drivers of local variations in hydroclimate in central Indonesia. We generated the first nearly complete age-depth model for the lacustrine facies of Lake Towuti and examined the potential of geophysical downhole logging for time estimation and lithological description. Future lake drilling projects will benefit from this approach, since logging data are available just after the drilling campaign, whereas core descriptions, though more resolved, only become available months to years later.

description: In the present paper, we report on the investigation of thermal annealing (TA) effect on structural and optical properties of crystalline silicon nanowires produced by metal-assisted chemical etching approach. In particular, the impact of TA on nanowire length, relative volume and size distribution of voids is described in terms of Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner theory considering the TA induced Oswald ripening in the SiNW arrays. It was also found that TA leads to a decrease of the SiNWs total reflection in the wide UV–VIS-IR spectral range. The reported effects can be used for tuning of crystalline SiNWs arrays in view of their further applications in photonics related fields. © 2020 The Authors

description: A map of plant formations of the Sierra del Aramo (Asturian Central Massif) is presented at a scale of 1:25,000. The interest of this map lies in the idiosyncrasies of the area studied: it straddles two contrasting biogeographic districts, has carbonated and siliceous substrates, and displays various types of hillside deposits. It also has a height difference of more than 1300 m in 3 linear km, varied topography and orientations, and a history of human colonization prior to the Bronze Age. All this in just 220 km2, in a rural area in the process of abandonment but only 20 km from one of the regional metropolitan areas. In short, the Sierra del Aramo is a territory of high natural and cultural heritage, in which the vegetation map is essential as a fundamental scientific tool for territorial management.

description: In the Tuxertal (Tux Valley, Austria), like in other Alpine regions, drinking water supply is predominantly organised privately or in cooperatives from nearby springs. Currently used springs may become unsuitable in future due to increasingly strict legal limits and changes in the water balance caused by climate change. In this study, the Tuxbach catchment area (135 km2) is examined by a reference-date measurement. Within 11 days, 153 springs and creeks were sampled to evaluate their appropriateness. All results of critical parameters for the drinking water supply are summarized and displayed in a hydrochemical map. Locally the groundwater composition differs due to various changes of petrographic units. Analysis results are statistically evaluated and characteristic values derived from six rock types. It becomes evident that apart from ammonium and arsenic, legal limits are mostly met. Low discharge rates present the major challenge for drinking water supply in future.

description: Coherence distillation is a basic information-theoretic task in the resource theory of coherence. In this paper, we develop the framework of the approximate coherence distillation under strictly incoherent operations. This protocol considers the situation that we cannot transform an initial state $ρ$ into a target state $ψ$ with certainty; instead, we aim to deterministically transform the initial state $ρ$ into an intermediate state $ϕ$ that is most approximate to the target state $ψ$ in terms of fidelity. We also present the explicit conversion strategy of the approximate coherence distillation.

description: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been widely applied to various fields for learning over graph-structured data. They have shown significant improvements over traditional heuristic methods in various tasks such as node classification and graph classification. However, since GNNs heavily rely on smoothed node features rather than graph structure, they often show poor performance than simple heuristic methods in link prediction where the structural information, e.g., overlapped neighborhoods, degrees, and shortest paths, is crucial. To address this limitation, we propose Neighborhood Overlap-aware Graph Neural Networks (Neo-GNNs) that learn useful structural features from an adjacency matrix and estimate overlapped neighborhoods for link prediction. Our Neo-GNNs generalize neighborhood overlap-based heuristic methods and handle overlapped multi-hop neighborhoods. Our extensive experiments on Open Graph Benchmark datasets (OGB) demonstrate that Neo-GNNs consistently achieve state-of-the-art performance in link prediction.

description: The objective of this work is to conduct a detailed mapping of the Héðinsdalsjökull foreland, northern Iceland (65°39′N, 18°55′W). This cirque currently shows a variety of glacial and periglacial landforms derived from a complex deglaciation. Mapping was performed combining traditional hand-drawn and digital mapping. A hand-drawn sketch was georeferenced in ArcMap 10.7.1, supported on an aerial photograph (year 2000). Its vectorization, symbolization and final design were done in the computer-aided design (CAD) software MicroStation Connect. Complementary high-resolution Digital Surface Models were obtained from historical aerial photographs and ground-view field photographs through the application of Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry. To improve the topographic expression of the geomorphological map, a photorealistic 3D view has been generated. The final map highlights the complexity of the foreland and the coexistence existence of a range of different units and landforms. The map will ease future studies on the transformation of receding glaciers.

description: The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Division of Planning’s Highway Information Systems (HIS) database provides geometric information about horizontal and vertical curves, but its accuracy is unknown. An updated method of pavement analysis collects data by scanning the pavement as a van equipped with Mandli software drives the area of interest. The scans provide detailed information that can be used to calculate roadway geometry characteristics (e.g., curve radius, cross slope/superelevation, and grade). This study evaluated the ability of the Mandli data to support curve advisory calculations and find a way to utilize Mandli data to improve the existing HIS database. To this end, the report includes a literature review to determine applicability of data, a series of data validation steps to define Mandli’s accuracy, and an evaluation of tools that convert Mandli into usable HIS data. The data attributes of focus are horizontal curve radius, grade, and cross slope. Horizontal curve radii values were evaluated using University of Nevada Reno’s ArcMAP plugin, Florida DOT’s curvature extension tool, and the University of Kentucky’s Curvature Automatic Tool (UKCAT). These tools were tested for usability, efficiency, and accuracy. Vertical curve attributes, including grade and cross slope, were evaluated by comparing Mandli data to manual field measurements, design plans, and other data collection methods. After data collection and analysis, researchers outline a newly developed method for converting Mandli data into a usable form and implementing it in HIS.

description: Driven by the increasingly complete observational knowledge of systems of satellite galaxies, mutual spatial alignments and relations in velocities among satellites belonging to a common host have become a productive field of research. Numerous studies have investigated different types of such phase-space correlations and were met with varying degrees of attention by the community. The Planes of Satellite Galaxies issue is maybe the best-known example, with a rich field of research literature and an ongoing, controversial debate on how much of a challenge it poses to the ΛCDM model of cosmology. Another type of correlation, the apparent excess of close pairs of dwarf galaxies, has received considerably less attention despite its reported tension with ΛCDM expectations. With the fast expansion of proper motion measurements in recent years, largely driven by the Gaia mission, other peculiar phase-space correlations have been uncovered among the satellites of the Milky Way. Examples are the apparent tangential velocity excess of satellites compared to cosmological expectations, and the unexpected preference of satellites to be close to their pericenters. At the same time, other kinds of correlations have been found to be more in line with cosmological expectations—specifically, lopsided satellite galaxy systems and the accretion of groups of satellite galaxies. The latter has mostly been studied in cosmological simulations thus far, but it offers the potential to address some of the other issues by providing a way to produce correlations among the orbits of a group’s satellite galaxy members. This review is the first to provide an introduction to the highly active field of phase-space correlations among satellite galaxy systems. The emphasis is on summarizing existing, recent research and highlighting interdependencies between the different, currently almost exclusively individually considered types of correlations. Future prospects in light of upcoming observational facilities and our ever-expanding knowledge of satellite galaxy systems beyond the Local Group are also briefly discussed

description: The Aladağlar is a mountain range located in the central Taurus Mountains (37°45′ N, 35°15′ E) along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, dominated by geomorphic features intervened by karstic and glacial landscapes. The Aladağlar, also known as The Alps of Turkey, is one of the most popular places for mountaineering. Here, we present a comprehensive glacial geomorphological map of the mountain. Despite increased recent research, understanding of the spatial distribution of glacial landforms is still poorly known. To provide a framework for future research, we present a 1:50,000-scale glacial geomorphological map, covering an area of ∼1200 km2. Our map is based on remote sensing and detailed field observations on geomorphological imprints of glacial erosional and depositional landforms, such as glacial valleys, cirques, arêtes, horns, debris-covered glaciers, moraines and outwash fans. Our glacial geomorphological map could be used as a base for future dating and glacier reconstructions efforts.

description: Based on the scalar-tensor-vector modified gravitational theory, a modified gravity Schwarzschild black hole solution has been given in the existing literature. Such a black hole spacetime is obtained through the inclusion of a modified gravity coupling parameter, which corresponds to the modified gravitational constant and the black hole charge. In this sense, the modified gravity parameter acts as not only an enhanced gravitational effect but also a gravitational repulsive force contribution to a test particle moving around the black hole. Because the modified Schwarzschild spacetime is static spherical symmetric, it is integrable. However, the spherical symmetry and the integrability are destroyed when the black hole is immersed in an external asymptotic uniform magnetic field and the particle is charged. Although the magnetized modified Schwarzschild spacetime is nonintegrable and inseparable, it allows for the application of explicit symplectic integrators when its Hamiltonian is split into five explicitly integrable parts. Taking one of the proposed explicit symplectic integrators and the techniques of Poincare sections and fast Lyapunov indicators as numerical tools, we show that the charged particle can do chaotic motions under some circumstances. Chaos is strengthened with an increase of the modified gravity parameter from the global phase space structures. There are similar results when the magnetic field parameter and the particle energy increase. However, an increase of the particle angular momentum weakens the strength of chaos.

description: Effective interprofessional team function is integral to high-quality care in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, little is known about how familiarity develops among teams, which may be an important antecedent to effective team function and quality care. To examine team familiarity and how it impacts ICU team function and care, we conducted an ethnographic study in four ICUs (two medical ICUs, one mixed medical-surgical ICU, and one surgical ICU) in two community hospitals and one academic medical center. We conducted 57.5 h of observation, 26 shadowing experiences, and 26 interviews across the four ICUs sequentially. We used thematic analysis to examine familiarity among the team. We found that ICU team members become familiar with their team through interpersonal, relational interactions, which involved communication, time working together, social interactions, trust, and respect. Our findings underscore the relational aspect of effective teams and demonstrate that time working together, social interactions, communication, developing trust, and respect are pathways to familiarity and optimal team function. Leveraging unique and creative ways to enhance the relational aspects of ICU teams could be an area for future research and lead to improved ICU outcomes.
Crosslinguistic word order variation reflects evolutionary pressures of dependency and information locality

description: Languages vary considerably in syntactic structure. About 40% of the world's languages have subject-verb-object order, and about 40% have subject-object-verb order. Extensive work has sought to explain this word order variation across languages. However, the existing approaches are not able to explain coherently the frequency distribution and evolution of word order in individual languages. We propose that variation in word order reflects different ways of balancing competing pressures of dependency locality and information locality, whereby languages favor placing elements together when they are syntactically related or contextually informative about each other. Using data from 80 languages in 17 language families and phylogenetic modeling, we demonstrate that languages evolve to balance these pressures, such that word order change is accompanied by change in the frequency distribution of the syntactic structures which speakers communicate to maintain overall efficiency. Variability in word order thus reflects different ways in which languages resolve these evolutionary pressures. We identify relevant characteristics that result from this joint optimization, particularly the frequency with which subjects and objects are expressed together for the same verb. Our findings suggest that syntactic structure and usage across languages co-adapt to support efficient communication under limited cognitive resources.

description: Objective: The development of an ideal adhesive system has long been subject of research. Recent studies show that treatment with cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) positively affects the bonding properties of enamel. Conditioning with CAP could therefore improve the mechanical and physical properties of bracket adhesives, e.g. Glass ionomer cement (GIC). Material and methods: Laser-structured brackets (Dentaurum, Ispringen) were bonded onto 60 bovine mandibular incisors using different orthodontic adhesives. For 20 specimens FujiOrthoLC (GC America Corp, Alsip, USA) was used according to manufacturer's instructions. Another 20 specimens received a 60 s CAP-treatment (kINPen med, Neoplas tool, Greifswald, Germany) before bracket bonding, of which 10 were re-moistened before applying FujiOrthoLC and 10 remained dry. Onto 20 specimens, brackets were bonded with the Composite Transbond XT (3M/Unitek, St. Paul, USA) following manufacturer's instructions. The shear bond strength of brackets on the teeth was determined with the universal testing machine Zwick BZ050/TH3A (Zwick, Ulm, Germany). Results: Brackets bonded with FujiOrthoLC in standard method, showed average shear bond strength of 5.58±0.46 MPa. Specimens treated with plasma showed clinically unacceptable adhesion values (re-moistened group: 2.79±0.38 MPa, dry group: 1.01±0.2 MPa). Bonding onto dried out teeth also led to spontaneous bracket losses (4 of 10 specimens). The composite group (Transbond XT) showed clinically acceptable adhesion values (7.9±1.03 MPa). Conclusions: Despite promising potential, surface conditioning with CAP could not improve the adhesive properties of GIC. By contrast, a decrease in shear bond strength was noticed after CAP treatment. Further investigations have to show whether it is possible to increase the retention values ​​of other orthodontic adhesives by CAP application and thus take advantage of positive characteristics and reduce side effects.

description: The study objective was to prepare a quantitative inventory of lakes and to assess their long-term changes. The research area included the Osa river basin (northern Poland), which is located in a lake district. The research was based on historical cartographic materials published in 1900-1947 (German 1:25,000 ‘Messtischblatt’ topographic maps) and modern topographic maps from 2010 (The 1:50,000 Digital Map of the Hydrographic Division of Poland [MPHP]. The number of lakes increased from 173 to 235, while the total surface area of the lakes fell by 107.55 ha. The largest number of lakes belonged to the 1.0-5.0 ha range on both MPHP and Messtischblatt maps. It was in this range that the largest increase in number of lakes and lake area relative to the historical maps was found. A significant reduction in area of lakes was recorded in the group of lakes with an area from 50 to 100 ha.

description: Team climate and attributes of primary healthcare (PHC) are key elements for collaborative practice. Few researchers have explored the relationship between team climate and patients’ perceptions of PHC. This study aimed to assess the association between team climate and patients’ perceptions of primary healthcare attributes. A quantitative approach was adopted. In Stage 1, Team climate was assessed using Team Climate Inventory in 118 Family Health Strategy (FHS) teams at a PHC setting. In Stage 2, Patients’ perceptions of PHC attributes were assessed using the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATool) in a sample of 844 patients enrolled in teams studied in Stage 1. Cluster analysis was used to identify team climate groups. The analysis used multilevel linear regression models. Patients assigned to teams with the highest team climate scores had the highest PHC attributes scores. Patients who reported affiliation at the team level had the highest PCATool scores overall. They also scored higher on the attributes of comprehensiveness and coordinated care compared to patients with affiliation to the health unit. In conclusion, patients under the care of FHS teams exhibiting a more favorable team climate had more positive patient perceptions of PHC attributes.

description: This study analyzes the relation between Brazilian broiler and pig production and water productivity using recently developed reference guidelines on water footprinting for livestock production systems and supply chains. Different rainfed crop arrangements, in different scenarios and producer regions in Brazil, were assessed. Water productivity of broiler feed consumption ranged from 0.63 to 1.38 kg per m3 water input to rainfed summer maize (safra) and from 1.20 to 2.21 kg per m3 water input to winter maize (safrinha) while it ranged from 0.28 to 0.95 kg per m3 water input to rainfed soy. For pig feed consumption, rainfed maize ranged from 0.68 to 1.49 kg per m3 water input (safra) and from 1.30 to 2.38 kg per m3 water input (safrinha) while it ranged from 0.30 to 1.03 kg per m3 water input to rainfed soy. A potential amount of water saving of 0.0336 km3 year−1 and 0.0202 km3 year−1 could be attained for producing broiler and pig feed, respectively, depending on the crop rotation and producer region. The results showed that the evapotranspiration of animal feed production represents more than 99% of the total water consumption for broiler and pig production in the study area. The implementation of best crop practices resulted in higher water productivity values of chicken and pork meat and also improved the rainfall water-saving in comparison to conventional agriculture. Hence, the water productivity of the animal production chain in tropical regions demands a close relation to agriculture in order to attain a better understanding and improvement of rainfall water productivity for animal feed production.

description: New strategies for preservation of geodiversity and geosystem services need to be developed for mountain areas that are vulnerable to climate change and human activities. Detailed geomorphological surveys and geosystem services analyses have been carried out in the Indren-Cimalegna area, southern slope of Monte Rosa (Western Italian Alps). From remote sensing analysis and field inventories, a geomorphological map (1:5000) was created, with a new GIS-compliant legend, targeted to the studies of glacial and periglacial environments. A geosystem services map (1:15,000) was also produced, presenting a two-fold analysis of interactions between geomorphology and human activity, showing (1) the role of distinct landforms as specific services offered to society and (2) the threats posed by morphodynamic processes to human activities. These maps are presented as tools for enhancing proper planning and management of high mountains modified by climate change and human activities within a sustainable development perspective.
Traumarama : the process of developing Fear of a Führer, a play approaching the historical human capacity to destroy and be destroyed

description: Fear of a Führer is a play about trauma -- in subject (a girl who is the first victim of genocide in Nazi Germany puts on a show for her enemies), in dramaturgical structure (language and image repeat and transform), in process of development (as a series of traumatic accidents shaped and changed the artists involved and their work). Fear of a Führer is the embodiment of the essential interaction of process and product in generating a new work of nontraditional theater collaboratively. Its trajectory offers an insight: that when subject matter of a theater work is traumatic, its process may traumatize, and its artists must embrace and transform trauma into a generative tool

description: The Rodoretto Valley (about 25 km2) (Western Alps, NW Italy) shaped in the metamorphic bedrock, covered by Quaternary sediments, is involved in significant deep-seated gravitational slope deformation (DSGSD). A detailed field survey revealed several morpho-structures typically related to DSGSD phenomena (open fractures, doubled ridges, scarps, trenches, counterscarps and bulging reliefs) and other significant gravitational morphologies, here defined as gravitational valleys, not previously reported in geological literature.Fieldwork also allowed us to distinguish various types of glacial sediments, reconstructing the supply basins, relatively dating glacialism to LGM and Late Glacial-Holocene and evaluating their gravitational dislocation. The wide extension of the area characterized by DSGSD and incredibly big dimension of single morpho-structures are the most important recognized features. In particular, we observed that entire sectors of the study area were gravitatively conditioned not only by local slid along the Rodoretto slopes but also by movement towards the nearby and deeper Germanasca Valley.

description: The cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) specific inhibitor celecoxib reduces tumor incidence in skin cancer and progression of skin tumors, but the benefits of celecoxib are lost with cessation of treatment. The absence of lasting effects highlights the need for an effective combination treatment. In this study we investigate the efficacy of combinations of [alpha]-TEA, a novel vitamin E analog, and celecoxib in preventing UVB induced skin cancer. SKH-1 hairless mice were irradiated 3 times/week with 90 mJ/cm² and this dose was increased by 10% weekly to a maximum of 175 mJ/cm². UV was stopped at 24 weeks, at which time there were an average of 5.8 papillomas/mouse. The mice were then placed in one of four treatment groups: no treatment, [alpha]-TEA, celecoxib, or combination treatment. The control group continued to produce new tumors in a linear manner such that by week 28, tumor number nearly doubled. The group receiving [alpha]- TEA was marginally effective and reduced tumor number by 36% by week 28. Both celecoxib and combination treatment groups were significantly different than control, showing a 59% and a 62% reduction in tumor reduction, respectively. To determine whether tumor regression was permanent or required continued treatment, all treatments were stopped at 28 weeks. Over the next 3 weeks, tumor recurrence was not significant in the [alpha]-TEA alone group. A significant number of tumors reappeared in the celecoxib alone group. The combination treatment group that was removed from treatment showed an increase in average tumor number per mouse, but this increase was less substantial than the increase observed in the celecoxib alone group. It is concluded that [alpha]-TEA is an effective therapeutic agent for skin cancer, and the benefits of treatment of [alpha]-TEA are lasting

description: Orbuspedum gen. nov.
Type species Orbuspedum machinator sp. nov., here designated.
Description
Adult female. Body spindle-form, with posterior segments of abdomen heavily sclerotized. Antennae each 2-segmented. Legs entirely absent. Anal apparatus simplified, without setae. Vulva of unusual structure, funnel-shaped, directed anteriorly. Anterior and posterior pairs of ostioles absent. Small oval circulus present. Multilocular pores absent. Trilocular pores and simple discoidal pores scattered through entire body surface, except for posterior abdominal segments where they are completely absent. Discoidal pores of irregular structure or duct-like pores absent. Tubular ducts each with very deep collar present on posterior abdominal segments only. Dorsal surface of body covered with small, thin conical setae and minute flagellate setae; ventral surface covered by longer flagellate setae; posterior abdominal segments densely covered by significantly longer flagellate setae on both surfaces. Sacciform invaginations of sclerotized cuticle of different sizes present in transverse rows across most body segments.
Diagnosis
The new genus differs from all other genera of legless mealybugs in having an anteriorly directed vulva. In other characters, Orbuspedum gen. nov. seems to be similar to the large, widely distributed genus Antonina Signoret, but differs from the latter in the total absence of multilocular and irregular disc pores (wax glands); see modern identification keys to genera of legless mealybugs in Hendricks and Kosztarab (1999) and Danzig and Gavrilov-Zimin (2015).
Additionally, the new monotypic genus differs from all other known scale insect genera ecologically, in the peculiar mode of life of females and female larvae inside individual fungal domiciles (see ‘Mode of life’ section under the species description).
Etymology
The generic name is constructed from appropriate Latin words, and means ‘legless’. Gender masculine.

description: Eddy current testing is well established for non-destructive testing of electrical conductive materials [1]. The development of radio frequency (RF) eddy current technology with frequency ranges up to 100 MHz made it possible to extend the classical fields of application even towards less conductive materials like CFRP [2][3](Table 2). It turns out that RF eddy current technology on CFRP generates a growing number of valuable information for comprehensive material diagnostic. Both permittivity and conductivity of CFRP influence the complex impedance measured with RF eddy current devices. The electrical conductivity contains information about fiber texture like orientations, gaps or undulations in a multilayered material. The permittivity characterization influenced by dielectric properties allows the determination of local curing defects on CFRP e.g. hot spots, thermal impacts or polymer degradation. An explanation for that effect is seen in the measurement frequency range and the capacitive structure of the carbon rovings. Using radio wave frequencies for testing, the effect of displacement currents cannot be neglected anymore. The capacitive structures formed by the carbon rovings is supposed to further strengthen the dielectric influences on eddy current measurement signal [3]. This report gives an overview of several realized applications and should be understood as a general introduction of CFRP testing by HF Radio Wave techniques.

description: We use MUSE spectroscopic observations of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo T between 470 and 935 nm to search for radiative decays of axion like particles (ALPs). Under the assumption that ALPs constitute the dark matter component of the Leo T halo, we derive bounds on the effective ALP-two-photon coupling. We improve existing limits by more than one order of magnitude in the ALP mass range 2.7-5.3 eV.
