description: Given any toric subvariety $Y$ of a smooth toric variety $X$ of codimension $k$, we construct a length $k$ resolution of $\mathcal O_Y$ by line bundles on $X$. Furthermore, these line bundles can all be chosen to be direct summands of the pushforward of $\mathcal O_X$ under the map of toric Frobenius. The resolutions are built from a stratification of a real torus that was introduced by Bondal and plays a role in homological mirror symmetry. As a corollary, we obtain a virtual analogue of Hilbert's syzygy theorem for smooth projective toric varieties conjectured by Berkesch, Erman, and Smith. Additionally, we prove that the Rouquier dimension of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a toric variety is equal to the dimension of the variety, settling a conjecture of Orlov for these examples. We also prove Bondal's claim that the pushforward of the structure sheaf under toric Frobenius generates the derived category of a smooth toric variety and formulate a refinement of Uehara's conjecture that this remains true for arbitrary line bundles.

description: The presentation was delivered by Zeyd Boukhers at the FDO Conference 2022 in Leiden. This work explores the implementation of a fast-track methodology for integrating FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs) within the health and data science sectors. It discusses a test case from the NFDI4DS project, focusing on machine learning data components such as images used for training, source code, and metadata. The presentation highlights the challenges of managing often not machine-readable metadata and proposes solutions to enhance automation in data curation and relabeling tasks. The presentation emphasizes the importance of machine-readable persistent identifiers (PIDs) and a minimal set of administrative metadata to facilitate machine-actionable decisions. It also discusses the flexibility of the design, which allows for the standardization and reuse of attributes defined in a Data Type Registry (DTR), and the potential for extending the FDO content with other metadata schemas and vocabulary specifications. It conclude by suggesting future research directions, including identifying specific attributes required for machine-actionable decisions and determining the most efficient level of data granularity for various applications

description: This article addresses the localization problem in robotic autonomous luggage trolley collection at airports and provides a systematic evaluation of different methods to solve it. The robotic autonomous luggage trolley collection is a complex system that involves object detection, localization, motion planning and control, manipulation, etc. Among these components, effective localization is essential for the robot to employ subsequent motion planning and end-effector manipulation because it can provide a correct goal position. In this article, we survey four popular and representative localization methods to achieve object localization in the luggage collection process, including radio frequency identification (RFID), Keypoints, ultrawideband (UWB), and Reflectors. To test their performance, we construct a qualitative evaluation framework with Localization Accuracy, Mobile Power Supplies, Coverage Area, Cost, and Scalability. Besides, we conduct a series of quantitative experiments regarding Localization Accuracy and Success Rate on a real-world robotic autonomous luggage trolley collection system. We further analyze the performance of different localization methods based on experiment results, revealing that the Keypoints method is most suitable for indoor environments to achieve the luggage trolley collection.

description: We consider a parametric hypothesis test of the multiplicative distortion model with both a parametric global trend and a nonparametric local trend. In the model, neither the response variable nor the covariates can be directly observed, but are measured with multiplicative distortion measurement errors. Four calibration procedures with several estimation methods are used to construct the test statistics, namely, conditional mean calibration based test statistic, conditional absolute mean calibration based test statistic, conditional variance calibration based test statistic, and conditional absolute logarithmic calibration based test statistic. Asymptotic properties for these test statistics are established under the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. Monte Carlo simulation experiments are carried out to examine the performance of the proposed test statistics. A real example is analyzed to illustrate their practical usages.

description: Stock market returns often tend to follow a non-normal probability distribution due to extreme losses in the tails. These cause fatter tails than normal and consequently heavy-tailed probability distributions are mostly used for modeling returns. In this work, we consider the generalized T (GT) distribution which can be heavy-tailed through its parameters and propose to use it in modeling the random stock returns. The GT distribution also contains the normal, Student t and generalized Laplace distributions as special or limiting cases of the shape parameters. The closed form expressions for the important risk measures are obtained. In case of a portfolio modeling, a multivariate extension of the distribution within the class of elliptical distributions is used. The tail mean-variance portfolio model based on the multivariate GT distribution is developed and optimal portfolio problem is solved. Risk measures for the random return of an asset whose density function is a mixture of the GT densities are obtained. The computability of all expressions derived is shown, and a real data application consisting of seven real stocks from the same sector is given.

Remarks
This species has never been found again after its description. Calvet (1931) remarked the similarities of S. dentata with S. solanderia, pointing to the distinctive backed zooids and the presence of two avicularia on each autozooid (Fig. 6A). We examined the type specimen housed at the MOM that, unfortunately, is badly damaged and does not allow a detailed description or measurements (Fig. 6B). There is no further available material for this species. The lack of some features in the described type specimen, which are diagnostic of the genus (i.e., complete ovicell) makes the ascription of this species to Schizoretepora uncertain.

Diagnosis. Species of the megacantha clade differ from other species of Anastrepha by their pattern of dorsobasal denticles on the eversible membrane, with one medial denticle much larger than the others. The clade belongs to the mucronota species group and may be most closely related to species such as A. lanceola Stone, which have several medial denticles of the eversible membrane somewhat larger than the others. Other useful diagnostic characters include: C-band and S-band separate or connected only anteriorly in cell r1; vein R2+3 sinuous; proctiger with ventral and lateral sclerotized areas connected; and aculeus tip narrow, less than 0.10 mm wide. The group includes A. megacantha Zucchi and the following new species: A. hadracantha, A. haplacantha, A. hyperacantha, A. inaequalis, and A. macracantha.

description: Hydroptila ogasawaraensis Species Group Ito
Diagnosis. Males of this species-group are somewhat similar to those of the H. pulchricornis Species Group of Marshall (1979), a small Palearctic group, in having a short, subacute apicoventral process on abdominal sternite VII, relatively short and annular segment IX with a narrow (longitudinally short) dorsal bridge, and an almost straight and fine phallic apparatus, but they can be discriminated from the later by the length of the inferior appendages: The relative length of the appendages to segment IX is more than 1.0 in the H. pulchricornis Species Group (Marshall 1979; Ito et al. 2011), but 0.5–0.8 in this new H. ogasawaraensis Species Group. Final instar larvae of the H. ogasawaraensis Species Group are also similar to those of the H. pulchricornis Species Group, but differ from the later by the presence of dorsal chloride epithelia on abdominal segments I–VI or a depressed oblong head capsule; in contrast, the described larvae of the H. pulchricornis Species Group species have the chloride epithelia on segments II–VI and a roundish head capsule and include H. phenianica Botosaneanu 1970, H. dampfi Ulmer 1929, and H. oguranis Kobayashi 1974 (Ito 2021).
Male: Pair of anterolateral processes of sternite V each with two setae, one long and one short; sternite VII with short, subacute, ventral process; segment IX short, annular with narrowly transverse dorsal bridge; phallic apparatus almost straight; and inferior appendages moderately short.
Final instar larva: Small dorsal sclerites or small dorsal chloride epithelia on abdominal segments I–VI or with depressed, oblong head capsule.
Species belonging to the Group: Hydroptila ogasawaraensis, H. demersa sp. nov., H. ishiura sp. nov., H. tokoyo sp. nov., H. hahajima sp. nov., and H. nagahama sp. nov. All species are endemic to the Ogasawara Islands.
Remarks: Larval morphology differs greatly between H. demersa and the other five species, but the molecular phylogeny suggests that they all belong to the same species group (Fig. 2).

description: The Age of Incorrect Information (AoII) is a recently proposed metric for real-time remote monitoring systems. In particular, AoII measures the time the information at the monitor is incorrect, weighted by the magnitude of this incorrectness, thereby combining the notions of freshness and distortion. This paper addresses the definition of an AoII-optimal transmission policy in a discrete-time communication scheme with a resource constraint and a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) protocol. Considering an $N$-ary symmetric Markov source, the problem is formulated as an infinite-horizon average-cost constrained Markov decision process (CMDP). Interestingly, it is proved that, under some conditions, the optimal transmission policy is to never transmit. This reveals a region of the source dynamics where communication is inadequate in reducing the AoII. Elsewhere, there exists an optimal transmission policy, which is a randomized mixture of two discrete threshold-based policies that randomize on at most one state. The optimal threshold and the randomization component are derived analytically. Numerical results illustrate the impact of the source dynamics, channel conditions, and resource constraints on the average AoII.

description: Subfamily Gryllacridinae Blanchard 1845
Note: The type genus and type species of this subfamily are described from South-East Asia. Based on our molecular results (see above), the genera Capnogryllacris, Ultragryllacris, Glolarnaca, Dialarnaca, Siamgryllacris, Phryganogryllacris, Woznessenskia, and Diaphanogryllacris should be moved into this subfamily. Probably all species from East and South-East Asia belong to this subfamily. Gryllacridinae includes six clades in our study, which we name genus groups.

Schizoretepora hassi – Sokolover et al. 2016: 443.
Remarks
Schizoretepora hassi occurs in the eastern Mediterranean (Lebanon coast) only and is found in shaded rocky habitats between 3 and 36 m deep. Its origin is unresolved, being either a steno-endemic in the Levantine Basin or an Erythraean immigrant (Harmelin et al. 2007). This species shows a great variability in colony shape, from fenestrate to ramose and bilaminated as well as a large variability in the zooidal characters, frontal shield and number of avicularia depending on their position, age and locality (Harmelin et al. 2007). Schizoretepora hassi is very similar to S. aviculifera (see remarks above).

(Fig. 43)
Paratucumaniella mexicana Breuning 1943: 42; Breuning 1949: 27 (syn.).
Cacostola mexicana; Breuning 1961: 215 (cat.); Marinoni and Martins 1982: 247 (reval.); Chemsak et al. 1992: 124 (checklist); Monné and Giesbert 1994: 195 (checklist); Monné 1994: 36 (cat.); Noguera and Chemsak 1996: 405 (checklist); Monné 2005: 538 (cat.); Monné and Hovore 2006: 274 (checklist); Monné 2018: 729 (cat.).
This species was originally described based on a single specimen from Veracruz, Mexico (see photograph of the holotype at Bezark 2019a). Breuning (1949) synonymized Paratucumaniella with Cacostola, and P. mexicana with Cacostola simplex. Marinoni and Martins (1982), revalidated the species (translated): “ C. mexicana Breuning is equally distinct from C. volvula by having the light pubescence of the distal half of the elytra forming irregular bands, but distinct, strongly contrasting with the dark pubescence around it.” The authors compared Paratucumaniella mexicana with Cacostola volvula, because in the same work they revalidated C. simplex. Breuning (1959) had synonymized C. simplex with C. volvula and, accordingly, P. mexicana with C. volvula, too.
We know that Marinoni and Martins (1982) based this decision on a photograph taken by Jesus Santiago Moure in the 1970s at USNM (Fig. 43). Apparently, the specimen photographed has a “cotypus” label. However, since the species was described based on a single specimen: “Länge 13 mm, Breite 3 mm. Typ von Mexico: Jalapa in Museum von Hamburg” it cannot be a type (although it does appear to be a specimen of C. mexicana).
According to Monné (2018) the species remains known only from Mexico.

description: Following the work of Mazzeo-Swoboda-Weiss-Witt and Mochizuki, there is a map $\overlineΞ$ between the algebraic compactification of the Dolbeault moduli space of $\mathsf{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ Higgs bundles on a smooth projective curve coming from the $\mathbb{C}^\ast$ action, and the analytic compactification of Hitchin's moduli space of solutions to the $\mathsf{SU}(2)$ self-duality equations on a Riemann surface obtained by adding solutions to the decoupled equations, known as ``limiting configurations''. This map extends the classical Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence. The main result of this paper is that $\overlineΞ$ fails to be continuous at the boundary over a certain subset of the discriminant locus of the Hitchin fibration. This suggests the possibility of a third, refined compactification which dominates both.
