description: A small amount of polymer dissolved in a droplet suppresses droplet rebound when it impinges on a supersolvophobic surface. This work investigates impacting dynamics of a droplet of dilute polymer solution depending on the molecular weight and the concentration of the polymer by using multi-body dissipative particle dynamics simulations. Either the longer polymer or the high polymer concentration suppresses rebound of a droplet although its shear viscosity and the liquid-vapor surface tension are not different from those of a pure solvent droplet. We found a new mechanism of the anti-rebound in which the resistance is applied against the hopping motion, while behavior of the non-rebounding droplet at the earlier spreading and retraction stages is same as for the rebounding droplets. Two polymer contributions to reducing the rebound tendency are quantitatively analyzed: the alteration of the substrate wettability by the polymer adsorption and the polymer elongation force.
The professionalization of mediation
Creators: name: Gallant, Mary Michelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Dispute resolution processes can be separated into two categories; the formal and the informal. Though the boundaries of these divisions are fluid, formal processes tend to embody a greater number of structural attributes than their less formal counterparts. The conventional adversarial process exemplifies the first type - a process characterized by a series of clearly defined legal rules and procedures - and the mediation process is representative of the second - a dispute resolution process which lacks any semblance of formal structure. The relationship between formal and informal methods of dispute processing is symbiotic. It is common to address criticisms of the one process by introducing features of the other. Attacks on adversarial justice culminate in the removal or softening of many of its formal features. Likewise, the response to complaints about mediation is the introduction of formal attributes. The recent growth of mediation has generated considerable criticism of this dispute processing venue and as anticipated one response is the suggestion that mediation be formalized. The formal feature being considered as a remedy is the creation a class of professional mediators. This thesis questions the value of formalizing the mediation process. Professionalization has the potential to nullify many of the benefits that mediation sought to bring to dispute resolution. The evidence intimates that professional regulation increases costs, suppresses diversity of occupational practice and inaugurates a form of inequality. These empirical manifestations suggest that when this institutional structure is superimposed onto the mediation process, there is a distinct possibility that professionalization will eliminate the advantages associated with informal dispute resolution and recreate many of the problems encountered with the adversarial justice process. Two primary candidates of professional regulation are being considered, licensure and certification. This thesis suggests that regardless of the regulatory scheme selected, much of the social utility of mediation is lost when this occupation is regulated. In the final analysis, the issue becomes how to achieve an appropriate equilibrium between formal and informal dispute resolution processes. Injecting a moderate amount of professionalism into the mediation process may achieve this balance but not without sacrificing some of the many advantages of informalism.

description: Cet article a pour objectif d’évaluer de manière quantitative l’efficacité de la formation des competences sur la stratégie d’une organisation dans le secteur privé au Mali. La fonction RH étant le pivot du système, elle doit être la première fonction à bénéficier de la démarche de gestion des compétences, puisque les professionnels RH auront la responsabilité de l’implantation de la démarche en effectuant le lien entre la stratégie de l’organisation et l’évolution du professionnalisme à inventer dans l’organisation.

Pour mener à bien cette étude, nous avons choisi l’approche qualitative parce qu’à travers les indicateurs qu'elle fournit nous permet d'établir une relation systématique entre les concepts théoriques et la réalité observable autrement dit, elle permet de confronter les hypothèses à l'observation. Les résultats issus de cette étude suggèreront plusieurs implications pratiques pour les organisations.

The theoretical framework exploits the symmetry between the weak field expansion of the gravitational field and the standard Maxwell formulation, combined with the Josephson junction physics. We also suggest a suitable experimental setup, analysing also the related possible difficulties in measurements.

title: Moral blindfolds and ethical reflections: imagination, ethics and film
Creators: name: Thorpe, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2012

description: The thesis explores the connection between the imaginative engagement with narrative fiction films, and the imagination as it is employed in moral reasoning. I begin by describing a variety of imaginative and non-imaginative stances towards fiction in terms of a general internal/external schema. I then describe a similar schema as it applies to engaging with fictional characters - imagining from a subjective and an objective perspective. I argue that in both cases - internal/external, and subjective/objective - an either/or choice between them should be rejected in favour of an account that incorporates both perspectives. The second part of the thesis begins with an account of how the internal/external distinction is related to the question of how, or if, narrative fiction films can be sources of moral knowledge. I consider the idea that films can act as 'thought-experiments' (the ITE thesis) and find it lacking. I argue, however, that the idea should not be rejected but modified. I do so with reference to Bernard Williams' distinction between 'thick' and 'thin' ethical concepts, and I show that re-conceiving films as examples of thick ethical concepts meets the objections that I have levelled at the FTE thesis. It also, I claim, satisfies the condition that if films are to have moral-cognitive value, that value must be tied in a substantial way to their aesthetic properties. I then go on to discuss in chapter four what might seem the most natural ethical function of engaging with fictions - coming to know 'what it's like'. Subjective imagining, or empathising, I argue is not intrinsically beneficial, but becomes so when it is conducted within a more objective context. The final two chapters are a more detailed discussion of Eric Rohmer's series of films Les Contes Moreaux/The Moral Tales in which I flesh out some of the theoretical claims of the thesis, and connect them to a tradition of ironic realism exemplified by Rohmer's series.
Difficulties for Compact Composite Object Dark Matter

description: It has been suggested ``that DM particles are strongly interacting composite macroscopically large objects ... made of well known light quarks (or ... antiquarks)." In doing so it is argued that these compact composite objects (CCOs) are ``natural explanations of many observed data, such as [the] 511 keV line from the bulge of our galaxy" observed by INTEGRAL and the excess of diffuse gamma-rays in the 1-20 MeV band observed by COMPTEL. Here we argue that the atmospheres of positrons that surround CCOs composed of di-antiquark pairs in the favoured Colour-Flavour-Locked superconducting state are sufficiently dense as to stringently limit the penetration of interstellar electrons incident upon them, resulting in an extreme suppression of previously estimated rates of positronium, and hence the flux of 511 keV photons resulting from their decays, and also in the rate of direct electron-positron annihilations, which yield the MeV photons proposed to explain the 1-20 MeV excess. We also demonstrate that even if a fraction of positrons somehow penetrated to the surface of the CCOs, the extremely strong electric fields generated from the bulk antiquark matter would result in the destruction of positronium atoms long before they decay.

description: We calculate the anomalous dimension of the cusped Wilson loop in ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to order $λ^2$ ($λ=g^2_{YM}N$). We show that the cancellation between the diagrams with the three-point vertex and the self-energy insertion to the propagator which occurs for smooth Wilson loops is not complete for cusped loops, so that an anomaly term remains. This term contributes to the cusp anomalous dimension. The result agrees with the anomalous dimensions of twist-two conformal operators with large spin. We verify the loop equation for cusped loops to order $λ^2$, reproducing the cusp anomalous dimension this way. We also examine the issue of summing ladder diagrams to all orders. We find an exact solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation, summing light-cone ladder diagrams, and show that for certain values of parameters it reduces to a Bessel function. We find that the ladder diagrams cannot reproduce for large $λ$ the $\sqrtλ$-behavior of the cusp anomalous dimension expected from the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Do patients with chronic pain in an inpatient pain management program benefit from the additional participation in the Laughter Yoga training?
Creators: name: Schmid, Carsten
name: Anna-Maria Schneider
name: Tamina Brinkschmidt
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2015

description: Background and aims
Studies reveal that pain patients who voluntarily took part at a Laughter Yoga training, experienced significant pain reduction, upward mood swing and a significant improvement of community sense. The latter is an active factor in improving group cohesion and thus can contribute to increasing the effectiveness of a group-based pain management program. This study examines whether participation in the Laughter Yoga training increases the effect of a inpatient pain management program.

Method
Of the 171 patients who participated in an inpatient pain management program, 101 patients took part in the optional Laughter Yoga training (2x/ week for 30 minutes per session). Initially, the patients completed an initial enrollment questionnaire and at the end of their stay an evaluation form. The pre-, post and group comparisons were calculated using SPSS 19.

Results
There were no significant differences in current pain intensity, impairments in everyday life, leisure and/or work ability between either of the two groups. Despite anomalities in results relating to general well-being, physical and mental quality of life, there were no differences in selected psychometric variables within both groups. Both Laughter Yoga participants and non-participants improved in all the variables, but there were no significant difference between the two groups.

Conclusion
Laughter Yoga seems to have short-term positive effects on its participants.
There do not seem to be any significant differences to non-participants, which suggests an increase in the effectiveness of the pain management program in combination with the Laughter Yoga training.

The scattering potential plays the role of the log-likelihood function, and its critical points are solutions to rational function equations. We study the ML degree of low-rank tensor models in statistics, and we revisit physical theories proposed by Arkani-Hamed, Cachazo and their collaborators. Recent advances in numerical algebraic geometry are employed to compute and certify critical points. We also discuss positive models and how to compute their string amplitudes.

description: The recent launch of the Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION® Access Program (MAP) resulted in the rapid development of a number of open source tools aimed at extracting reads and yield information from the HDF5 format files produced by the platform. poretools and poRe are designed to extract FASTA/Q files and to provide plots of yield and utilisation stats. minoTour aligns reads and provides coverage and variation information too. However, none of the tools provides error profiling based on detailed alignment analysis of Nanopore reads, a methodology that is critical in order to understand the applicability of the platform to a new problem area and is often performed ad hoc. With the platform evolving as rapidly as it is, this kind of analysis is also crucial to understanding the performance of new flowcells, chemistries, base callers and aligners. NanoOK has been written to address this gap.

NanoOK processes the raw HDF5 files output by the MinION® basecaller, extracts FASTA/Q format files, aligns to references, calculates a wide range of QC and error metrics, and finally consolidates information into a PDF report. Crucially, it is designed to support multiple concurrent references, enabling analysis of metagenomic samples and pooled libraries. NanoOK produces in-depth data on a variety of key metrics including: number of reads aligning; quality of alignment; coverage and perfect kmer plots for template, complement and 2D reads; analysis of longest perfect sequence; statistics on types of error (substitutions, indels); analysis of over- and under-represented kmers; location of error; error motifs, such as preceding n-mers before observed errors. Here, we present a description of the tool and associated sequence data as well as a some analysis of real world samples.

 Polymastia mamillaris rara Koltun: 1966, p. 70 – 72, fig. 41; pl. XXIX, fig 6
 Description
 (Figure 7 (b)). Flattened, roundish body of more or less disc-shaped form, firmly attached to substrate (represented by shells and stones) by its basal part. Dimensions of about 2 cm in height and up to 4.5 cm in diameter. Surface provided with numerous cylindrical papillae from 2 mm to 1.6 cm in length. Among them, at the centre of the body, 1 – 2 rather large (up to 2 cm in height) conical exhalant papillae with oscula on the summits occur. The body relatively dense, cork-like in consistency. Surface is even. Sometimes the sponge possesses a fringe of extra-long spicules. The colour is beige.
 Skeleton
(Figure 7 (a)). Main skeleton composed of thick radial bundles of large styles that extend from the base to the surface of the sponge, but usually do not cross the upper cortex. Skeleton of the cortex consists of two layers: the upper layer of small styles is arranged in palisade manner; this layer is underlain by disorderly intermediate styles.
 Spicules
 (Figure 7 (c – g)). Large, straight and fusiform styles, dimensions: 860 – 1350 – 1800 (n = 30) × 17.2 – 24.4 – 30 (n = 20) µm; intermediate styles, identical to the previous, except the dimensions: 349.3 – 478 – 620 (n = 30) × 11.5 – 13.4 – 16.6 (n = 20) µm; small styles (tylo- and subtylostyles), straight or slightly curved, dimensions: 127 – 169.6 – 253.2 (n = 30) × 4.5 – 6.3 – 7.9 (n = 20) µm; slender exotyles, slightly fusiform styles of the marginal fringe, up to 3 mm in length and about 11 µm in thickness.
 Distribution
 Near the east coasts of Kamchatka Peninsula and Kuril Islands, East Siberian Sea [north of New Siberian islands, st. A-74), Laptev Sea (st. L-19 (two species) and L-12 (one species)]. Depth range: 36 – 126 m.
 Remarks
 This is the first record of P. rara after Koltun (1966) described it based on two specimens collected in the Sea of Okhotsk. In addition to the differences in spicule composition, P. rara differed from the closely related P. grimaldii (Topsent 1913) by the structure of its cortex. In the case of P. grimaldii, it encompasses an additional middle layer of collagen fibres (Plotkin et al. 2017), which is absent in P. rara.

The main tools used in this study are certain noncommutative transforms which are introduced in the present paper and which generalize the classical transforms of Berezin, Poisson, Fantappie, Herglotz, and Cayley. Several classical results from complex analysis have free analogues in our noncommutative multivariable setting.

description: Hyperspectral acquisitions have proven to be the most informative Earth observation data source for the estimation of nitrogen (N) content, which is the main limiting nutrient for plant growth and thus agricultural production. In the past, empirical algorithms have been widely employed to retrieve information on this biochemical plant component from canopy reflectance. However, these approaches do not seek for a cause-effect relationship based on physical laws. Moreover, most studies solely relied on the correlation of chlorophyll content with nitrogen, and thus neglected the fact that most N is bound in proteins. Our study presents a hybrid retrieval method using a physically-based approach combined with machine learning regression to estimate crop N content. Within the workflow, the leaf optical properties model PROSPECT-PRO including the newly calibrated specific absorption coefficients (SAC) of proteins, was coupled with the canopy reflectance model 4SAIL to PROSAIL-PRO. The latter was then employed to generate a training database to be used for advanced probabilistic machine learning methods: a standard homoscedastic Gaussian process (GP) and a heteroscedastic GP regression that accounts for signal-to-noise relations. Both GP models have the property of providing confidence intervals for the estimates, which sets them apart from other machine learners. GP-based band analysis identified optimal spectral settings with ten bands mainly situated in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectral region. Use of well-known protein absorption bands from the literature showed comparative results. Finally, the heteroscedastic GP model was successfully applied on airborne hyperspectral data for N mapping. We conclude that GP algorithms, and in particular the heteroscedastic GP, should be implemented for global agricultural monitoring of aboveground N from future imaging spectroscopy data.

description: A new concept for the simultaneous detection of primary and secondary scintillation in time projection chambers is proposed. Its core element is a type of very-thick GEM structure supplied with transparent electrodes and machined from a polyethylene naphthalate plate, a natural wavelength-shifter. Such a device has good prospects for scalability and, by virtue of its genuine optical properties, it can improve on the light collection efficiency, energy threshold and resolution of conventional micropattern gas detectors. This, together with the intrinsic radiopurity of its constituting elements, offers advantages for noble gas and liquid based time projection chambers, used for dark matter searches and neutrino experiments. Production, optical and electrical characterization, and first measurements performed with the new device are reported.

description: For 123 local galaxies with directly-measured black hole masses ($M_{\rm BH}$), we provide the host spheroid's Sérsic index ($\rm n_{sph}$), effective half-light radius ($\rm R_{e,sph}$), and effective surface brightness ($μ_e$), obtained from careful multi-component decompositions, and we use these to derive the morphology-dependent $M_{\rm BH}$--$\rm n_{sph}$ and $M_{\rm BH}$--$\rm R_{e,sph}$ relations. We additionally present the morphology-dependent $M_{\rm *,sph}$--$\rm n_{sph}$ and $M_{\rm *,sph}$--$\rm R_{e,sph}$ relations. We explored differences due to: early-type galaxies (ETGs) versus late-type galaxies (LTGs); Sérsic versus core-Sérsic galaxies; barred versus non-barred galaxies; and galaxies with and without a stellar disk. We detect two different $M_{\rm BH}$--$\rm n_{sph}$ relations due to ETGs and LTGs with power-law slopes $3.95\pm0.34$ and $2.85\pm 0.31$. We additionally quantified the correlation between $M_{\rm BH}$ and the spheroid's central concentration index, which varies monotonically with the Sérsic index. Furthermore, we observe a single, near-linear $M_{\rm *,sph}$--$\rm R_{e,sph}^{1.08\pm 0.04}$ relation for ETGs and LTGs, which encompasses both classical and alleged pseudobulges. In contrast, ETGs and LTGs define two distinct $M_{\rm BH}$--$\rm R_{e,sph}$ relations with $Δ_{\rm rms|BH}\sim\rm 0.60~dex$ (cf.\ $\sim$0.51~dex for the $M_{\rm BH}$--$σ$ relation and $\sim$0.58~dex for the $M_{\rm BH}$--$M_{\rm *,sph}$ relation), and the ETGs alone define two steeper $M_{\rm BH}$--$\rm R_{e,sph}$ relations, offset by $\sim$1~dex in the $\log M_{\rm BH}$-direction, depending on whether they have a disk or not and explaining their similar offset in the $M_{\rm BH}$--$M_{\rm *,sph}$ diagram. This trend holds using $10 \%$, $50 \%$, or $90 \%$ radii.(Abridged)

description: We consider the Nash equilibrium problem in a partial-decision information scenario. Specifically, each agent can only receive information from some neighbors via a communication network, while its cost function depends on the strategies of possibly all agents. In particular, while the existing methods assume undirected or balanced communication, in this paper we allow for non-balanced, directed graphs. We propose a fully-distributed pseudo-gradient scheme, which is guaranteed to converge with linear rate to a Nash equilibrium, under strong monotonicity and Lipschitz continuity of the game mapping. Our algorithm requires global knowledge of the communication structure, namely of the Perron-Frobenius eigenvector of the adjacency matrix and of a certain constant related to the graph connectivity. Therefore, we adapt the procedure to setups where the network is not known in advance, by computing the eigenvector online and by means of vanishing step sizes.

Building on diverse streams of literature, we conceptualize and empirically study the sleep assimilation patterns of immigrants. With data from Germany, we demonstrate that immigrants sleep significantly more than natives upon arrival, while their sleep ‘advantage’ dissipates with years spent in the host country. We also explore the heterogeneity of the sleep assimilation process by gender, education, wages, work schedules, and job physical intensity.

description: Irregular pyramids are made of a stack of successively reduced graphs embedded in the plane. Such pyramids are used within the segmentation framework to encode a hierarchy of partitions. The different graph models used within the irregular pyramid framework encode different types of relationships between regions. This paper compares different graph models used within the irregular pyramid framework according to a set of relationships between regions. We also define a new algorithm based on a pyramid of combinatorial maps which allows to determine if one region contains the other using only local calculus.

description: Researchers are using deep learning models to explore the emergence of language in various language games, where agents interact and develop an emergent language to solve tasks. We focus on the factors that determine the expressivity of emergent languages, which reflects the amount of information about input spaces those languages are capable of encoding. We measure the expressivity of emergent languages based on the generalisation performance across different games, and demonstrate that the expressivity of emergent languages is a trade-off between the complexity and unpredictability of the context those languages emerged from. Another contribution of this work is the discovery of message type collapse, i.e. the number of unique messages is lower than that of inputs. We also show that using the contrastive loss proposed by Chen et al. (2020) can alleviate this problem.

description: The topic of this paper is Hegel's claim in the Philosophy of Right that, within the modern social world, human needs tend to be endlessly expanded. Unlike the role that the system of needs plays in the formation of its participants' psychological makeup and the problem of poverty and the rabble, the topic of the expansion of needs remains underdiscussed in the recent Hegel literature on the virtues and vices of civil society. My discussion of the topic aims to answer the following two sets of questions: How does it come to pass that individuals' needs are endlessly expanded in this way? And is that expansion a phenomenon to be applauded or condemned? In particular, does the endless expansion of needs aid or obstruct the realization of social members' freedom? In answer to the first question, I argue that for Hegel the endless expansion of needs results from the level of specialization and division of labor distinctive of the modern market economy, the human capacity for a certain kind of abstraction, and the desire to be recognized by other participants in the market system. In answer to the second set of questions, and despite Hegel's own apparent ambivalence, I argue on his behalf that the endless expansion of needs represents an obstacle to the realization of freedom, and is on that ground a phenomenon to be condemned, for the following two reasons: First, the endless expansion of needs increases the influence or “pressure” of desire on the members of civil society that are subject to that expansion. Second, that expansion leads to widespread frustration, understood as the inability on the part of the members of civil society to ever fully realize their ends or satisfy their desires. I end by briefly considering two Hegelian solutions to the pernicious effects of the endless expansion of needs.
Repulsive regions in Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi gravitational collapse

description: We show that in the inhomogeneous Lema{î}tre-Tolman-Bondi space-time there are specific regions in which repulsive gravity exists. To find these regions, we use an invariant definition of repulsive gravity based upon the behavior of the curvature eigenvalues. In addition, we analyze the effects of repulsive gravity on the dynamics of the gravitational collapse. In particular, we investigate the collapse in the case of the parabolic solution for the effective scale factor of the Lema{î}tre-Tolman-Bondi metric, corresponding to the marginally bound case. Exploring the corresponding cut-offs at which gravity becomes repulsive, we notice that black holes with dominant repulsive effects are not excluded \emph{a priori}. Indeed, we demonstrate that the collapse leads, in general, to the formation of a central naked singularity; however, for particular values of the free parameters entering the model, black holes with dominant repulsive gravity can exist. We show that the expected physical process is not modified as the marginally bound condition is dropped out. Moreover, we show that this is true independently of the hypothesis that the energy-momentum tensor is built up in terms of pressureless matter. Further, we demonstrate that geodesic deviations can depend on the sign of the curvature eigenvalues. Finally, we give an astrophysical interpretation of black holes with dominant repulsive gravity. Indeed, we argue that compact objects with dominant repulsive gravity could be interpreted as progenitors of Gamma Ray Bursts.

description: We calculate the diameter and chirality dependences of the binding energies, sizes, and bright-dark splittings of excitons in semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Using results and insights from {\it ab initio} calculations, we employ a symmetry-based, variational method based on the effective-mass and envelope-function approximations using tight-binding wavefunctions. Binding energies and spatial extents show a leading dependence with diameter as $1/d$ and $d$, respectively, with chirality corrections providing a spread of roughly 20% with a strong family behavior. Bright-dark exciton splittings show a $1/d^2$ leading dependence. We provide analytical expressions for the binding energies, sizes, and splittings that should be useful to guide future experiments.
Two pandemic years greatly reduced young people’s life satisfaction: evidence from a comparison with pre-COVID-19 panel data

description: How much did young people suffer from the COVID-19 pandemic? A growing number of studies address this question, but they often lack a comparison group that was unaffected by the pandemic, and the observation window is usually short. Here, we compared the 2-year development of life satisfaction of German high school students during COVID-19 (N = 2,698) with the development in prepandemic cohorts (N = 4,834) with a difference-in-differences design. We found a decline in life satisfaction in winter 2020/2021 (Cohen’s d = -0.40) that was approximately three times stronger than that in the general population and persisted until winter 2021/2022. Young people found some restrictions particularly burdensome, especially travel restrictions, bans on cultural events, and the closure of bars/clubs.

 Description
 (Figure 8 (c – d)). Sponge elongated, pear shaped or conical, sometimes laterally flattened, up to 5.5 cm in height and 4.5 cm in width. Body slightly narrows downwards forming a short peduncle, by which the sponge attaches on stones or on polychaetes tubes. The surface is rugose, sometimes nearly smooth (only juvenile forms). The consistency is soft and elastic. The single osculum of roundish or slit-like form (about 2 mm in diameter) is placed at the summit and surrounded by the short (about 0.8 mm in height) spicular collar (not always). Colour (in alcohol) ash grey or pale pink. Six specimens examined.
 Skeleton
 (Figure 8 (a – b)). The main skeleton consists of a quite loose or diffuse network of spicule bundles and single spicules. Only near the surface, spicules (mostly small tylostyles) become more or less regularly arranged, and grouped in the radial bundles.
The cortex is composed of a thin layer of microscleres. In the underlying tissues (choanosome) microscleres are absent. Only in rare exceptions were they found in the walls of the aquiferous system.
 Spicules
 (Figure 8 (e – h)). Styles (tylo- and subtylostyles) straight, rather short-pointed (spicules with blunt apical ends occasionally found), dimensions: 167.7 – 387.8 – 538.9 × 5.4 – 11 (n = 200) µm; microxea and microstrongyles centrotylote, spined, dimensions 16.7 – 38.29 – 62.9 (n = 60) µm and 8.2 – 19.57 – 36 (n = 60) µm, respectively.
 Distribution
 Bering Sea, West and East Greenland Shelf. Chukchi Sea, East Siberian Sea, Laptev Sea, Kara Sea, Barents Sea, White Sea, North Sea. Depth range: 5 – 113 m.
 Remarks
 Widespread circumpolar boreal-Arctic species. Quite polymorphic, and is represented by at least two morphologically close species. It is possible that some specimens of suberites montalbidus examined by Fristedt (1887), Lambe (1895) and Koltun (1959) are actually represented by a similar, newly allocated species, suberites cebriones sp. nov.
