I16, rep. 1, 32.54°N, 117.18°W, 13 July 2006, 28 m depth, 0.1 m ² Van Veen grab, 1.0 mm sieve. Description. Holotype 4 mm long, 0.10 mm wide, complete, damaged mid-body. Body slightly inflated in prebranchial region, thereafter cylindrical in cross section. Body cream colored. Prostomium conical; terminal sensory organ well developed, mid-prostomial ciliary recessed area (Fig. 6A); peristomial ciliated nuchal organs; lateral ciliary patches, dorsal and ventral ciliary patches (Fig. 6B); median antenna absent. Six prebranchial segments, followed by 5 (6 th developing on one side) pairs of heavily ciliated, truncate, leaf-like, branchiae (Fig. 6C), mid-dorsal transverse ciliary bands continuous with branchiae (Fig. 6D). Notopodial glandular pores absent. Post-branchial neurochaetae acicular, up to 5 acicular spines with sharply bent tip and thick surrounding sheath (Fig. 6E), alternating with capillary chaetae. Far posterior chaetigers with pad-like chaetal fascicles, capillary notochaetae extremely long. Anal cirri distally inflated with cilia at tips (Fig. 6F). Methyl green stain. Staining limited to pre-chaetal areas of notopodia in branchial and 7–8 post-branchial chaetigers (Fig. 7G). Type locality. USA, Santa Barbara County, Gaviota, California, 27 m depth. Distribution. Central to southern California, 27–3322 m depth. Variations. Paratypes: body up to 15 mm long. Branchiae up to 8 pairs, heavily ciliated. Remarks. Levinsenia barwicki n. sp. is distinct by way of the several patches of cilia on the prostomium, especially on the mid-prostomial recessed area where a median antenna is found in other Paraonidae. Lateral ‘cheek’ and ventral ciliary patches are noted and have not been previously described. Branchiae are heavily ciliated, flattened and leaf-like, similar to Paraonis pygoenigmatica (Jones, 1968) (formerly Levinsenia pygoenigmatica, reassigned to Paraonis, see Blake 2016). Neurochaetae are unidentate, sharply bent, with a thick sheath, ‘appearing’ bidentate using light microscopy; unlike L. canariensis and L. hawaiianensis, which are truly bidentate. J. Blake (pers. comm.) reports that other very small, shelf and slope Levinsenia with similar branchial and neurochaetal features are known to exist in the North Atlantic. Levinsenia barwicki is a very small species and is usually collected on a 0.5 mm (or finer) sieve, occasionally on a 1.0 mm sieve. The reported depth range for L. barwicki is very broad. However, other Levinsenia species present such broad depth ranges. Blake (1996) reports Levinsenia gracilis occurring from “shallow subtidal to 3000+ m”. This species is named in honor of Kelvin Barwick, SCAMIT President.Published as part of Lovell, Lawrence L. & Fitzhugh, Kirk, 2020, Taking a closer look: an SEM review of Levinsenia species (Polychaeta: Paraonidae) reported from California, pp. 257-275 in Zootaxa 4751 (2) on pages 267-269, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4751.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/371307
INEQUALITY WITHIN AND AMONG NATIONS
No full textThis paper looks at both within country and among country inequality. In the spirit of Dalton[1920] and Atkinson[1970] this paper reports estimates of the welfare loss arising from inequality. The paper also explores the implications of Duesenberry style interdependent utility functions when a Utilitariansocial welfare function is employed and evaluates the appropriateness of the Gini coefficient and the coefficient of variation as possible measures of “depression” or “relative deprivation.” The paper reports a variety of measures of inequality for the 82 countries for which comparable data are available from the 1996 World Development Report. In 18% of the pair-wise comparisons of inequality in different countries the situation is ambiguous in the sense that neither country Lorenz dominates the other. Shorrocks[1982] Generalized Lorenz curves leave ambiguous 16% of paired welfare comparisons. By a wide variety of alternative measures, inequality among nations is much greater than inequality within countries. The data generated a surprising empirical result: for any utility function satisfying Dalton’s Principle of Transfers, the loss of welfare arising from within country inequality is approximately 40% of the loss caused by inequality among nations.Inequality, Income Distribution, Gini Coefficient, Relative Deprivation, Lorenz Dominance, Generalized Lorenz Curve, Veil of Ignorance, Equally Distributed Equivalent Income, Interdependent utilities, Tax price of public goods

The discrepancy between actual and unreported incidents of violence in a learning disability nursing service
No full textThis article is not available through ChesterRep. It can be accessed at https://www.mhldrp.org.uk/article/id/318/This study reports on research carried out within the Learning Disability Division of a major Mental Health NHS Trust in the North of England, and relates to the discrepancy between the actual number of incidents of violence and aggression and those reported. The literature review demonstrated that violence is a particular issue for nurses, particularly those working in the areas of mental health and learning disability where studies have indicated that as many as one in five may be affected. A questionnaire was distributed to all learning disability nurses currently employed in the Trust, a total of 411, with a response rate in excess of 40%. The study revealed that a discrepancy does exist between actual and reported incidents of violence within the Trust. It confirmed previous claims that the predominant difficulty is cultural, violence being regarded as part of the job and non-reporting primarily revolving around perceptions of incidents being considered 'minor', not worth the time to complete the paperwork. The paper concludes that more work is needed to achieve a united, consistent approach across the NHS, in order that a high quality, accessible service for people with learning disabilities and complex needs can be delivered without violence being considered an acceptable part of the job

Exploration and Exploitation in an Artificial Experimenter
No full textAn artificial experimenter is a computational implementation of the decision making processes a laboratory experimenter will make. Artificial experimenter's analyse the available data, propose hypotheses to represent the behaviours investigated and design experiments to evaluate or improve those hypotheses. In doing so they perform active discovery. A key problem faced is deciding when to perform experiments that exploit the information held within the current hypotheses to evaluate them and when to perform experiments that explore the parameter space to discover features of the behaviour being investigated not yet identified. As resources in physical experimentation are extremely limited, addressing this trade-off is critical to obtaining a representative model of the system under investigation. To achieve this, a Bayesian notion of surprise has been used to effectively manage the transition between exploration and exploitation in simulated and physical experimental trials
