description: We study the diameter of the graph $G(w)$ of reduced words of an element $w$ in a Coxeter group $W$ whose edges correspond to applications of the Coxeter relations. We resolve conjectures of Reiner--Roichman and Dahlberg--Kim by proving a tight lower bound on this diameter when $W=S_n$ is the symmetric group and by characterizing the equality cases. We also give partial results in other classical types which illustrate the limits of current techniques.

Year: 2017

description: Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the causative agents of cervical cancer and are also associated with other genital malignancies, as well as an increasing number of head and neck cancers. HPVs have evolved their life cycle to contend with the different cell states found in the stratified epithelium. Initial infection and viral genome maintenance occurs in the proliferating basal cells of the stratified epithelium, where cellular replication machinery is abundant. However, the productive phase of the viral life cycle, including productive replication, late gene expression and virion production, occurs upon epithelial differentiation, in cells that normally exit the cell cycle. This review outlines how HPV interfaces with specific cellular signaling pathways and factors to provide a replication-competent environment in differentiating cells.

description: We investigate the structure of vortex-bound states in spin-singlet chiral superconductors with ($d_{x^2-y^2} \pm i d_{xy}$)-wave and ($d_{xz} \pm id_{yz}$)-wave pairing symmetries. It is found that vortices in the ($d_{xz} \pm id_{yz}$)-wave state bind zero-energy states which are dispersionless along the vortex line, forming a doubly degenerate Majorana flat band. Vortex-bound states of ($d_{x^2-y^2} \pm i d_{xy}$)-wave superconductors, on the other hand, exist only at finite energy. Using exact diagonalization and analytical solutions of tight-binding Bogoliubov-de Gennes Hamiltonians, we compute the energy spectrum of the vortex-bound states and the local density of states around the vortex and antivortex cores. We find that the tunneling conductance peak of the vortex is considerably broader than that of the antivortex. This difference can be used as a direct signature of the chiral order parameter symmetry.

description: L’articolo intende descrivere e mettere a conoscenza del mondo della progettazione architettonica contemporanea, la disponibilità di una nuova gene- razione di grandi infrastrutture per la ricerca e la sperimentazione progettuale. Come reso evidente nella recente mostra “The Art of Architecture”, realizzata in Cina, sui progetti di Norman Foster, realizzati attraverso la sperimentazione della Permasteelisa, il progetto di architettura contemporaneo si ispira al tema dell’edificio del futuro, ovvero ad un sistema complesso che eroga prestazioni “ulteriori”, connesse al tema delle smart cities: tale progettazione necessita di un supporto scientifico e tecnologico per sviluppare sperimentazione anche nella fase progettuale attraverso infrastrutture dedicate. In questo quadro, si intende evidenziare la programmazione dei fondi PON MiUR 2007/13 appena chiusa. Come ricaduta di queste politiche comunitarie, la rete spontanea che si sta configurando fra queste infrastrutture, muterà profondamente in senso innovativo, lo scenario della ricerca sperimentale ed applicata, offrendo anche servizi tecnologici a supporto anche del progetto della “prossima architettura”.

description: Il comune di Montieri ha recentemente costruito una rete di teleriscaldamento alimentata a vapore geotermico. L’aspetto innovativo risiede nell’uso del vapore geotermico di scarto dalla produzione di elettricità, per fornire riscaldamento e acqua calda sanitaria per 425 utenze del centro storico. Con il progetto Geothermal Community (Concerto, FP7) sono stati intrapresi ulteriori obiettivi per l’ambiente costruito: la riduzione del consumo energetico degli edifici e l’aumento della quota delle risorse energetiche rinnovabili utilizzate dalla comunità. L’articolo propone una analisi dei benefici ambientali ed economici delle misure di efficienza energetica pianificate dal progetto Europeo alla luce dell’installazione della rete di teleriscaldamento. I risultati presentano uno spunto di riflessione interessante per la formulazione dei piani di riduzione delle emissioni delle aree urbane storiche Italiane ed Europee dove sono presenti simili infrastrutture.

description: Pravuil is a robust, secure, and scalable consensus protocol for a permissionless blockchain suitable for deployment in an adversarial environment such as the Internet. Pravuil circumvents previous shortcomings of other blockchains: - Bitcoin's limited adoption problem: as transaction demand grows, payment confirmation times grow much lower than other PoW blockchains - higher transaction security at a lower cost - more decentralisation than other permissionless blockchains - impossibility of full decentralisation and the blockchain scalability trilemma: decentralisation, scalability, and security can be achieved simultaneously - Sybil-resistance for free implementing the social optimum - Pravuil goes beyond the economic limits of Bitcoin or other PoW/PoS blockchains, leading to a more valuable and stable crypto-currency

description: Zunehmend dynamische Märkte und kürzere Produktlebenszyklen zwingen Unternehmen zu kontinuierlichen Anpassungen ihrer Fabriken in Form von Reorganisationen. Um sicherzustellen, dass solche Reorganisationsprojekte erfolgreich umgesetzt werden können, ist es wichtig, dass das Qualitätsmanagement (QM) frühzeitig in die Fabrikplanung (FAP) integriert wird. In diesem Kontext müssen holistische Qualitätsmanagementsysteme (QMS) agiler und reaktionsfähiger gestaltet werden, um verändernden Anforderungen gerecht zu werden. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Ansatz zur Integration von Qualitätsmanagementsystemen in den Fabrikplanungsprozess nach VDI 5200 vorgestellt. Dazu werden Anforderungen abgeleitet und bestehende Ansätze im Hinblick auf diese bewertet.
description: Increasingly dynamic markets and shorter product life cycles are forcing companies to continuously adapt their factories in the form of reorganizations. To ensure that such reorganization projects can be successfully implemented, it is important that the quality management (QM) is involved in the factory planning process (FAP) at an early stage. In this context, holistic quality management systems (QMS) need to be designed to be more agile and responsive to meet shifting requirements. This paper presents an approach for integrating quality management systems into the factory planning process according to VDI 5200. For this purpose, requirements are derived and existing approaches are evaluated with regards to them.

description: We examine the Ising model at its critical temperature with an external magnetic field $h a^{\frac{15}{8}}$ on $a\mathbb{Z}^2$ for $a,h >0$. A new proof of exponential decay of the truncated two-point correlation functions is presented. It is proven that the mass (inverse correlation length) is of the order of $h^\frac{8}{15}$ in the limit $h \to 0$. This was previously proven with CLE-methods in $\lbrack 1 \rbrack$. Our new proof uses instead the random current representation of the Ising model and its backbone exploration. The method further relies on recent couplings to the random cluster model $\lbrack 2 \rbrack$ as well as a near-critical RSW-result for the random cluster model $\lbrack 3 \rbrack$.

description: In the next generation of long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, aiming to determine the charge-parity violating phase $δ_{CP}$ in the appearance channel, fine-grained time-projection chambers are expected to play an important role. In this Letter, we analyze an influence of realistic detector capabilities on the $δ_{CP}$ sensitivity for a setup similar to that of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. We find that the effect of the missing energy, carried out by undetected particles, is sizable. Although the reconstructed neutrino energy can be corrected for the missing energy, the accuracy of such procedure has to exceed 20\%, to avoid a sizable bias in the extracted $δ_{CP}$ value.

description: The genomic RNA of the retrotransposon Ty1 is packaged as a dimer into virus-like particles. The 5′ terminus of Ty1 RNA harbors cis-acting sequences required for translation initiation, packaging and initiation of reverse transcription (TIPIRT). To identify RNA motifs involved in dimerization and packaging, a structural model of the TIPIRT domain in vitro was developed from single-nucleotide resolution RNA structural data. In general agreement with previous models, the first 326 nucleotides of Ty1 RNA form a pseudoknot with a 7-bp stem (S1), a 1-nucleotide interhelical loop and an 8-bp stem (S2) that delineate two long, structured loops. Nucleotide substitutions that disrupt either pseudoknot stem greatly reduced helper-Ty1-mediated retrotransposition of a mini-Ty1, but only mutations in S2 destabilized mini-Ty1 RNA in cis and helper-Ty1 RNA in trans. Nested in different loops of the pseudoknot are two hairpins with complementary 7-nucleotide motifs at their apices. Nucleotide substitutions in either motif also reduced retrotransposition and destabilized mini- and helper-Ty1 RNA. Compensatory mutations that restore base-pairing in the S2 stem or between the hairpins rescued retrotransposition and RNA stability in cis and trans. These data inform a model whereby a Ty1 RNA kissing complex with two intermolecular kissing-loop interactions initiates dimerization and packaging.
Chemical Abundances in NGC 5053: A Very Metal-Poor and Dynamically Complex Globular Cluster

description: NGC 5053 provides a rich environment to test our understanding of the complex evolution of globular clusters (GCs). Recent studies have found that this cluster has interesting morphological features beyond the typical spherical distribution of GCs, suggesting that external tidal effects have played an important role in its evolution and current properties. Additionally, simulations have shown that NGC 5053 could be a likely candidate to belong to the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy (Sgr dSph) stream. Using the Wisconsin-Indiana-Yale-NOAO-Hydra multi-object spectrograph, we have collected high quality (signal-to-noise ratio $\sim$ 75-90), medium-resolution spectra for red giant branch stars in NGC 5053. Using these spectra we have measured the Fe, Ca, Ti, Ni, Ba, Na, and O abundances in the cluster. We measure an average cluster [Fe/H] abundance of -2.45 with a standard deviation of 0.04 dex, making NGC 5053 one of the most metal-poor GCs in the Milky Way (MW). The [Ca/Fe], [Ti/Fe], and [Ba/Fe] we measure are consistent with the abundances of MW halo stars at a similar metallicity, with alpha-enhanced ratios and slightly depleted [Ba/Fe]. The Na and O abundances show the Na-O anti-correlation found in most GCs. From our abundance analysis it appears that NGC 5053 is at least chemically similar to other GCs found in the MW. This does not, however, rule out NGC 5053 being associated with the Sgr dSph stream.

Le infrastrutture verdi e blu sono annoverate tra le strategie natured-based di mitigazione e adattamento al cambiamento climatico, in quanto capaci di migliorare la qualità ambientale ed ecologica anche in ambienti densamente costruiti. L’articolo intende approfondire le strategie di gestione delle acque meteoriche in ambito urbano, in particolare quelle che prevedono l’integrazione tra infrastrutture verdi-blu e interventi di rinaturalizzazione degli ambiti fluviali. Le premesse teoriche, sviluppate in riferimento alla letteratura internazionale, sono oggetto di verifica attraverso l’analisi di due esperienze internazionali, avvenute rispettivamente a New York e a Nizza. Due casi in cui, in contesti e con modalità operative diverse, il miglioramento di aree urbane degradate è stato ottenuto grazie alla realizzazione di infrastrutture verdi-blu.

description: Global motion perception is a function of higher, or extrastriate, visual system circuitry. These circuits can be engaged in visually driven navigation, a behavior at which mice are adept. However, the properties of global motion perception in mice are unclear. Therefore, we developed a touchscreen-based, two-alternative forced choice (2AFC) task to explore global motion detection in mice using random dot kinematograms (RDK). Performance data was used to compute coherence thresholds for global motion perception. The touchscreen-based task allowed for parallel training and testing with multiple chambers and minimal experimenter intervention with mice performing hundreds of trials per session. Parameters of the random dot kinematograms, including dot size, lifetime, and speed, were tested. Mice learned to discriminate kinematograms whose median motion direction differed by 90 degrees in 7-24days after a 10-14day pre-training period. The average coherence threshold (measured at 70% correct) in mice for this task was 22±5%, with a dot diameter of 3.88mm and speed of 58.2mm/s. Our results confirm the ability of mice to perform global motion discriminations, and the touchscreen assay provides a flexible, automated, and relatively high throughput method with which to probe complex visual function in mice.

Si tratta di una ricerca, in progress, finalizzata alla realizzazione di un Laboratorio di Testing che concentra le attività su prove e sperimentazioni sull’involucro edilizio. L’obiettivo è rispondere alle sfide indicate dallo scenario dove si registra la necessità di sviluppare involucri innovativi dalle risposte prestazionali connesse alle variabili contestuali. In quest’ottica il ruolo dei centri di ricerca che svolgono attività di Testing assumono particolare rilevanza, per cui l’approccio basato su misurazioni in regime “simulato” sembra risultare strategico per gli attori del settore edilizio.

description: We found that the proliferation and differentiation capabilities of NSPCs decrease significantly in Ythdf2 null mutants.To explore the underlying molecular mechanism, we performed transcriptomics and well-established m6A-methylome analyses of NSPCs dervied from wild type and Ythdf2-/- embryo brains. RNA-seq data revealed that expressions of genes enriched in neural development pathways were significantly disturbed. The inhibitory genes, like Flrt2, Ptprd, et al. in regulation of JAK-STAT cascade, which contributes to the neuroprotection and neurite outgrowth, showed increased gene expressions and m6A enrichment by m6A-seq. We identified that without the recognizing and binding of Ythdf2, the degradation of neuron differentiation related m6A-modified mRNAs were delayed in Ythdf2-/-, thereby disturbing the proliferation and differentiation of NSPCs. In summary, our findings uncovered that Ythdf2 modulates neural developmental via regulating the clearance of mRNA targets.Overall design: Examination of gene expression levels and m6A levels in mRNAs in wild type and Ythdf2 deficient mouse E14.5 derived NSPCs

description: Software Engineering (SE) communities such as Stack Overflow have become unwelcoming, particularly through members' use of offensive language. Research has shown that offensive language drives users away from active engagement within these platforms. This work aims to explore this issue more broadly by investigating the nature of offensive language in comments posted by users in four prominent SE platforms - GitHub, Gitter, Slack and Stack Overflow (SO). It proposes an approach to detect and classify offensive language in SE communities by adopting natural language processing and deep learning techniques. Further, a Conflict Reduction System (CRS), which identifies offence and then suggests what changes could be made to minimize offence has been proposed. Beyond showing the prevalence of offensive language in over 1 million comments from four different communities which ranges from 0.07% to 0.43%, our results show promise in successful detection and classification of such language. The CRS system has the potential to drastically reduce manual moderation efforts to detect and reduce offence in SE communities.

Subjects: genome sequencing
Multispecies

description: Cotton has one of the lowest amounts of genetic diversity of any of our major crop plants. Much of the natural genetic of diversity contained in the wild was lost during the thousands of years of breeding since the original founding population. Developments in DNA sequencing technology have enabled new strategies to quantify and characterize this missing genetic diversity. This project will sequence the genomes of old cotton cultivars, cotton plants from the wild, and some of its wild relatives. Computational analysis of the DNA sequences will identify individual plants that contain unique genetic diversity that will be useful for understanding cotton biology and for crop improvement. This project will also provide Research Experiences for science Teachers (7-12) at both Brigham Young University and Iowa State University that introduce the conceptual and experimental foundations of genome analysis strategies. Teachers will then be able to share their knowledge of genome sequencing with their high school and middle school students.The amount and apportionment of genetic diversity in domesticated plants and their wild relatives are key concerns for crop improvement. We have selected 506 accessions of cotton (and its wild, diploid relatives) for genome re-sequencing. Following high-coverage sequencing of DNA libraries of each sample, reads will be mapped to the reference genome using GSNAP; subsequent analyses will include GATK and the BamBam packages (including PolyCat) to analyze and compare these reads alignments to the reference genome of cotton. Nucleotide variation along chromosomes will be identified and quantified for for various levels of clustering of accessions. Population genomics analyses will reveal unique alleles and accessions within the public cotton germplasm collection. We will characterize and phylogenetically place CNVs using sequence coverage and sliding windows of SNPs. These analyses will provide a broad-based interpretation of the homoeoglous exchanges within cotton’s polyploid genome. A pan-genome of cotton will be synthesized to better understand the scope, pace, and pattern of genomic variations that arise during speciation, population differentiation, and domestication and breeding. All project outcomes will be made available to the public through a project website. Sequence data will be accessible through long-term repositories such as Genbank, the NCBI's SRA, and Phytozome. Data will also be available long-term through CottonGen (http://www.cottongen.org/), a community genomics, genetics and breeding database for cotton. The results of these analysis will have a long-lasting impact on how we understand the organization of the cotton genome.

 Type:— INDONESIA. Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi: N of Linomoyo, Matarombeo, 14 February 2017, W.H. Ardi WI 154 (holotype BO!; isotypes KRB!, SING!).
 Distribution:— Indonesia; endemic to Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, Matarombeo. Locally common.
 Habitat:— Rock walls at the base of limestone cliffs and limestone boulders, in dense to light shade, at ca. 2–200 m elevation.
 Notes:— Begonia matarombeoensis can be easily differentiated from the rest of the species in section Petermannia by its basally thickened stem with shortened internodes, the complexly branching (paniculate-cymose) and many-flowered male inflorescences, the relatively long peduncles of the female inflorescences (up to 4.2 cm long), and the recurved pedicels of the fruits (Thomas et al. 2018). Begonia matarombeoensis occupies a similar niche as B. siccacaudata Doorenboos (2000: 400) which grows on coralline limestone cliffs and limestone boulders in Southwest Sulawesi.

description: This paper analyzes some economic and demographic features of Italians living in cities containing a Saint name in their appellation (hagiotoponyms). Demographic data come from the surveys done in the 15th (2011) Italian Census, while the economic wealth of such cities is explored through their recent [2007-2011] aggregated tax income (ATI). This cultural problem is treated from various points of view. First, the exact list of hagiotoponyms is obtained through linguistic and religiosity criteria. Next, it is examined how such cities are distributed in the Italian regions. Demographic and economic perspectives are also offered at the Saint level, i.e. calculating the cumulated values of the number of inhabitants and the ATI, "per Saint", as well as the corresponding relative values taking into account the Saint popularity. On one hand, frequency-size plots and cumulative distribution function plots, and on the other hand, scatter plots and rank-size plots between the various quantities are shown and discussed in order to find the importance of correlations between the variables. It is concluded that rank-rank correlations point to a strong Saint effect, which explains what actually Saint-based toponyms imply in terms of comparing economic and demographic data.

description: We propose multirate training of neural networks: partitioning neural network parameters into "fast" and "slow" parts which are trained on different time scales, where slow parts are updated less frequently. By choosing appropriate partitionings we can obtain substantial computational speed-up for transfer learning tasks. We show for applications in vision and NLP that we can fine-tune deep neural networks in almost half the time, without reducing the generalization performance of the resulting models. We analyze the convergence properties of our multirate scheme and draw a comparison with vanilla SGD. We also discuss splitting choices for the neural network parameters which could enhance generalization performance when neural networks are trained from scratch. A multirate approach can be used to learn different features present in the data and as a form of regularization. Our paper unlocks the potential of using multirate techniques for neural network training and provides several starting points for future work in this area.

Più nello specifico, lo studio è stato condotto con l’obiettivo di valutare le effettive potenzialità delle reti dismesse: se sia conveniente la loro riapertura, qualora vi siano i numeri necessari di passeggeri per poterla sostenere, oppure se sia più conveniente sviluppare il trasporto pubblico, abbandonando le linee ferroviarie esistenti per investire esclusivamente su autolinee, come sta avvenendo attualmente.

description: Sources of antibiotic resistant organisms, including concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), may lead to environmental surface and groundwater contamination with resistant enteric bacteria of public health concern. The objective of this research is to determine whether Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Yersinia enterocolitica, and enterococci resistant to clinically relevant antibiotics are present in surface and groundwater sources in two eastern North Carolina counties, Craven and Wayne. 100 surface and groundwater sites were sampled for Salmonella, E. coli, and enterococci, and the bacteria isolated from these samples were tested for susceptibility to clinically relevant antibiotics. Salmonella were detected at low levels in some surface but not groundwater. E. coli were in surface waters but not ground in both counties. Enterococci were present in surface water and a small number of groundwater sites. Yersinia was not found. Bacterial densities were similar in both counties. For Salmonella in surface water, the most frequent type of resistance was to sulfamethoxazole. There was no ciprofloxacin resistance. There were a few surface water E. coli isolates resistant to chloramphenicol, gentamicin, and ampicillin. Enterococci in surface water had very low levels of resistance to vancomycin, chloramphenicol, ampicillin, and streptomycin. E. coli and enterococci are present more frequently and at higher levels in surface water than Salmonella, but groundwater contamination with any of these organisms was rare, and low levels of resistance can be found sporadically. Resistant bacteria are relatively uncommon in these eastern N.C. surface and groundwaters, but they could pose a risk of human exposure via ingestion or primary contact recreation.

description: Il contributo si colloca in un programma interdisciplinare volto alla valorizzazione e la tutela del fiume, attraverso il controllo dei flussi e l’attivazione di simbiosi. Si integrano, con un approccio che parte dalla progettazione ambientale, le tematiche urbane, paesaggistiche, tecnologiche ed ecologiche, per orientare lo sviluppo del territorio in termini di tutela e valorizzazione delle risorse, e per recuperare le discontinuità rappresentata oggi dal fiume, in alcuni contesti urbani, conferendole maggiore riconoscibilità e potenzialità. Nello specifico si indaga il rapporto tra L’Aquila e il fiume Aterno per individuare, a livello locale, le strategie perseguibili per il recupero delle connessioni tra l’ambito fluviale e urbano, per la valorizzazione del territorio e il ripristino della funzionalità dell’acqua nel suo ciclo vitale.

Loops in exceptional field theory

description: We study certain four-graviton amplitudes in exceptional field theory in dimensions $D\geq 4$ up to two loops. As the formulation is manifestly invariant under the U-duality group $E_{11-D}(\mathbb{Z})$, our resulting expressions can be expressed in terms of automorphic forms. In the low energy expansion, we find terms in the M-theory effective action of type $R^4$, $\nabla^4R^4$ and $\nabla^6 R^4$ with automorphic coefficient functions in agreement with independent derivations from string theory. This provides in particular an explicit integral formula for the exact string theory $\nabla^6 R^4$ threshold function. We exhibit moreover that the usual supergravity logarithmic divergences cancel out in the full exceptional field theory amplitude, within an appropriately defined dimensional regularisation scheme. We also comment on terms of higher derivative order and the role of the section constraint for possible counterterms.

description: To understand the viral diversity harbored by rodents in Xinjiang, A total of 314 rodents were sampled from pasture habitats in 5 locations (Jinghe, Alashankou, Yining, Qapqal and Aksu). The sampling comprised 7 species , which were long-tailed ground squirrel (Urocitellus undulates, n=100), great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus, n=46), Libyan jird (Meriones libycus, n=50), brown rat (Rattus norvegicus, n=51), common vole (Microtus arvalis, n=50), house mouse (Mus musculus, n=1), and ural field mouse (Apodemus uralensis, n=16). Partial specimens of each organs (lung and intestine for every rodent) were pooled together according to their sampling locations, and subjected to viral metagenomic analysis as per our published method (He B, Li Z, Yang F, Zheng J, Feng Y, Guo H, Li Y, Wang Y, Su N, Zhang F, Fan Q, Tu C. 2013.

System construction of urban landscape infrastructures for rainwater management: Nanjing as a case study

description: Un sistema di urban landscape spaces (spazi del paesaggio urbano) può rappresentare un nuovo sistema di infrastrutture in grado di assorbire e limitare le alluvioni nelle stagioni delle piogge. Tale sistema sarà composto da elementi paesaggistici e spaziali riferiti a diverse scale e riconducibili a tre livelli: la micro scala (edificio e sito), la media scala (blocco e distretto) e la macro scala (regione e metropoli). Per costruire tale sistema, specialmente su media scala, è fondamentale determinare la quantità, la distribuzione spaziale, l’area di servizio e il volume dell’acqua raccolta in questi landscape spaces. Il volume di acqua piovana e il tempo di raccolta sono due premesse di base. Il volume dell’acqua piovana conduce alla quantità e all’estensione degli spazi aperti. Il tempo di raccolta deriva dalla velocità e dall’estensione dei percorsi di deflusso dell’acqua piovana, mentre la velocità è determinata dalla morfologia, dall’altitudine e dalla resistenza superficiale. La distanza è determinata dalla posizione degli spazi aperti all’interno della rete stradale urbana. Analisi basate su sistemi GIS e DEM dovrebbero essere integrate per valutare l’area di servizio e il volume da dedicare alla raccolta delle acque di ogni spazio aperto. Questo approccio tecnico è applicato nella valutazione degli spazi aperti del vecchio quartiere di Nanjing, e alla valutazione della distribuzione degli spazi aperti esistenti nel distretto di Qinglong, Nanjing.

description: Quantum embedding methods have become a powerful tool to overcome deficiencies of traditional quantum modelling in materials science. However, while these are systematically improvable in principle, in practice it is rarely possible to achieve rigorous convergence and often necessary to employ empirical parameters. Here, we formulate a quantum embedding theory, building on the methods of density-matrix embedding theory combined with local correlation approaches from quantum chemistry, to ensure the ability to systematically converge properties of real materials with accurate correlated wave~function methods, controlled by a single, rapidly convergent parameter. By expanding supercell size, basis set, and the resolution of the fluctuation space of an embedded fragment, we show that the systematic improvability of the approach yields accurate structural and electronic properties of realistic solids without empirical parameters, even across changes in geometry. Results are presented in insulating, semi-metallic, and more strongly correlated regimes, finding state of the art agreement to experimental data.

 Sect. Petermannia
 Type:— INDONESIA. Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi: North Kolaka Regency, Ranteangin District, Tinukari Village, Gunung Mekongga, 18 March 2006, D. Girmansyah 579 (holotype BO!; isotypes E!, K!, L, US).
 Distribution:— Indonesia; endemic to Sulawesi, so far only known from three localities (Gunung Mekongga, Mangkutana-Pendolo divide and Rantepao-Palopo divide).
 Habitat:— Secondary forest, at ca. 700–800 m altitude.
 Notes:— Begonia mekonggensis is one of several putatively dioecious species which are found in Sulawesi: B. guttapila D.C.Thomas & Ardi in Thomas et al. (2009: 234), B. rantemarioensis D.C.Thomas & Ardi in Thomas et al. (2011: 240), B. sanguineopilosa D.C.Thomas & Ardi in Thomas et al. (2011: 243), and B. torajana D.C.Thomas & Ardi in Thomas et al. (2011: 246). A comparison of the salient features of Begonia mekonggensis with allied species is shown in Table 2.
 Provisional IUCN conservation assessment:— Endangered EN B2ab(iii). Begonia mekongensis is known from only a few localities including lowland rainforest in the Mangkutana-Pendolo devide and upland rainforest on Gunung Mekongga, which lie about 180 km apart. The collections from Mangkutana-Pendolo are from the periphery of a legally protected area, the Faruhumpena Forest Reserve. The small EOO (7,168 km 2) and AOO (28 km 2) in combination with only few collection localities warrant an Endangered (EN) status.

description: In this paper, we investigate the mean curvature flows starting from all non-minimal leaves of the isoparametric foliation given by a certain kind of solvable group action on a symmetric space of non-compact type. We prove that the mean curvature flow starting from each non-minimal leaf of the foliation exists in infinite time, if the foliation admits no minimal leaf, then the flow asymptotes the self-similar flow starting from another leaf, and if the foliation admits a minimal leaf (in this case, it is shown that there exists the only one minimal leaf), then the flow converges to the minimal leaf of the foliation in $C^{\infty}$-topology.
