An interferometric measurement of the 1s-2s transition frequency in atomic hydrogen
No full textTwo photon Doppler free laser spectroscopy has been used to measure the 1S½--2S½ transition frequency in atomic hydrogen by interferometric comparison with a reference line in 130Te2. The measured 1S½--2S½ transition frequency of 2 466 061 397 (25) MHz is in good agreement with the theoretical value 2 466 061 405.5 (2.9) MHz. This measurement can be used to deduce a value for the ground state Lamb shift giving 8182(25) MHz, which may be compared with a theoretical value 8173.248(81) MHz. Alternatively a value of the Rydberg constant can be deduced as 10 973 731.50 (11) m-1 which is consistent with other measurements but with a slightly larger uncertainty. This is the first time that the Rydberg constant has been measured on a transition in atomic hydrogen other than Balmer (alpha) using techniques of laser spectroscopy
Data for 3D Printed Organisms Enabled by Aspiration-Assisted Adaptive Strategies
No full textThis data set includes the supporting data for the article, 3D Printed Organisms Enabled by Aspiration-Assisted Adaptive Strategies. Images may be viewed with Origin Viewer (https://www.originlab.com/viewer), an open software for viewing the OPJU files.Devising an approach to deterministically position organisms could impact various fields such as bioimaging, cybernetics, cryopreservation, and organism-integrated devices. This requires continuously assessing the locations of randomly distributed organisms to collect and transfer them to target spaces without harm. Here we developed an aspiration-assisted adaptive printing system that tracks, harvests, and relocates living and moving organisms on target spaces via a pick-and-place mechanism that continuously adapts to updated visual and spatial information about the organisms and target spaces. These adaptive printing strategies successfully positioned a single static organism, multiple organisms in droplets, and a single moving organism on target spaces. Their capabilities were exemplified by printing vitrification-ready organisms in cryoprotectant droplets, sorting live organisms from dead ones, positioning organisms on curved surfaces, organizing organism-powered displays, and integrating organisms with materials and devices in customizable shapes. These printing strategies could ultimately lead to autonomous biomanufacturing methods to evaluate and assemble organisms for a variety of single and multi-organism-based applications.This work was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation (Award No. EEC-1941543 and Award No. IIP-1913772), the National Institutes of Health (Award No. 9R44MH122118-02), and Regenerative Medicine Minnesota (Award No. ML2017, Ch 89, Art 1, sec 4, REGEN MED, FY19).

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

On micropin through foam plastic. Paratype. Central Province: 1 ♀, same data as above (AM). Description (♀, ♂ unknown). Moderately elongate predominantly black fly, with heavily marked wing. Coloration. Head black to dark brown. Antenna tawnyorange; arista tawny-brown. Prelabrum dark brown; palpus brown basally, tawny-orange distally. Thorax black, slightly shining, with blue-tinted reflections. Coxae brown, hind coxa paler; femora yellow; tibiae and tarsi blackish. Wing hyaline, pale yellow at extreme base, with yellowish costal and marginal cells and dark brown markings as in Fig. 22; halter yellow. Abdomen black, dorsally with purple-tinted reflections. Head. Postfrons almost parallel-sided, convex anteriorly, near mid-length c. 0.41× as wide as head; height of cheek c. 0.21 of height of eye; face in profile only slightly concave on upper half, slightly convex on lower half, with lower margin not prominent; fronto-orbital bristles rather small, but distinct; ocellar and postvertical bristles minute. Antennal segment 3 slightly tapered distally, c. 2.7× as long as deep; segment 6 with moderately short hairs on most of length. Palpus rather narrow. Thorax. Mesoscutum bare between setulae on much of dorsal surface, rather broadly pubescent-pruinescent laterally; mesopleuron pruinescent mainly on upper-central region, largely glossy elsewhere; scutellum minutely pubescent on entire dorsal surface; thoracic chaetotaxy as given for B. robertsi. Fore femur with long, moderately stout posteroventral bristles, posterodorsal bristles less developed; mid coxa with moderately developed distomedial lobe and well developed series of large and small marginal setulae. Wing: first costal cell bare, except on short brown distal zone; second costal cell entirely microtrichose; stem vein with few minute dorsal setulae; vein 2 with gentle sigmoid curvature; second section of vein 4 with slight, almost even (non-sigmoid) curvature; penultimate section of vein 4 c. as long as discal crossvein; first basal, second basal and anal cells bare, except on very limited brown zones; hyaline zones on distal half of wing finely microtrichose; discal crossvein with slight sigmoid curvature, its general orientation slightly oblique; anal crossvein with maximum curvature only slightly anterior to mid-length. Abdomen. Compound tergite 1+2 c. 0.6–0.7× as long as exposed part of tergite 3; sternite 1 moderately large; sternites 2 and 3 larger; sternite 4 slightly shorter, sternites 5 and 6 transversely almost linear. Dimensions. Total length, 7.0– 7.1 mm; length of thorax, 2.9 mm; length of wing, 7.1–7.2 mm. Notes. Bama ismayi is most easily recognized by the wing markings and vein proportions (Fig. 22), but it is conceivable that the dark markings may be less extensive in the still unknown male. The specific epithet refers to John W. Ismay who has made significant research collections of many families of Diptera in Papua New Guinea.Published as part of McAlpine, David K., 2015, Signal Flies of the Genus Bama (Diptera: Platystomatidae) in Papua New Guinea, pp. 25-53 in Records of the Australian Museum 67 (2) on pages 38-39, DOI: 10.3853/j.2201-4349.67.2015.1603, http://zenodo.org/record/468486

New South Wales: Goonoo State Forest, 17 miles [c. 27 km] NE of Dubbo, 25.iii.1971, D.K.M. (AM K.456344). On leaves of <i>Xanthorrhoea</i>. On micropin through polyporus, right antenna damaged, postabdomen in microvial on main pin. <b>Paratypes</b>. New South Wales: 1♂, near Native Dog Hill, 38 km E of Rylstone, Nov. 1978, G.D. (AM); 1♂, Mount Kaputar National Park, Narrabri district, c. 900 m, Jan. 1978, G.D. (AM).</p> <p> <i>Other material examined</i>. New South Wales: 2♀♀, from Goonoo State Forest and Native Dog Hill respectively (AM) are doubtfully referred to this species. 1♂, with same collection data as holotype, has slightly differently shaped aedeagal rods, and is considered doubtfully conspecific, in view of the paucity of study material.</p> <p> <b>Description</b> (male). Agreeing with generic description in most characters.</p> <p> <i>Coloration</i> generally tawny-yellow. Head: face and parafacial partly whitish-pruinescent. Antenna tawny-brown to darker brown. Palpus tawny, usually not much darker apically. Thorax without darker markings. Legs uniformly pale; tarsi not darkened distally. Wing hyaline; halter pale tawny, usually without darker markings. Abdomen tawny, sometimes partly discoloured in preserved specimens.</p> <p> <i>Postabdomen.</i> General features as in <i>P. stuckenbergi</i>; surstylus (Fig. 17) straight, without lobes or tubercles, slightly expanded distally, but less so than in <i>P. danielsi</i>, with apical margin transverse but not straight, with slightly larger setulae; lateral sclerites of hypandrium oblique; aedeagal rod broad basally (Fig. 17), distally anteriorly curved, broadly compressed in almost vertical longitudinal plane, with small sclerotized ridge on medial surface (Fig. 18).</p> <p> <i>Dimensions.</i> Total length, 4.5 mm; length of thorax, 2.1–2.3 mm; length of wing, 5.1–5.3 mm.</p> <p> <b>Distribution</b>. New South Wales: mainly Western Slopes district, nearest coast record at Native Dog Hill, apparently c. 32°50'S 150°15'E. As the species has been rarely collected, its limits of distribution are probably incompletely known.</p> <p> <b>Notes</b>. <i>Paranomina martini</i> apparently has the shape of the surstylus distinct from such related species as <i>P. danielsi, P. stuckenbergi</i> and <i>P. mouldsorum</i>. The distal part of the aedeagal rod (Fig. 18) is distinct from all other known species but may prove to be slightly variable when the species is better known.</p> <p> The specific name refers to John C. Martin, in recognition of help with photographic studies of <i>Paranomina</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Mcalpine, David K., 2019, Review of the Species of Paranomina (Diptera: Lauxaniidae), pp. 71-85 in Records of the Australian Museum 71 (3)</i> on page 80, DOI: 10.3853/j.2201-4349.71.2019.1655, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/3838084">http://zenodo.org/record/3838084</a>
