Relative entropy formulation of thermalization process in a Schwarzschild spacetime by Si-Wei Han, Zhichun Ouyang, Zhiyao Hu, Jun Feng

“…We find that beyond the Planckian transition rate, the refined thermalization process in detector Hilbert space can be distinguished by the time behavior of the related QRE. We show that the exotic position-dependent behaviors of the QRE emerge corresponding to different choices of black hole vacua (i.e., the Boulware, Hartle-Hawking, and Unruh vacua). …”

Chevroned Water Hyacinth weevil Neochetina bruchi Hustache (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae) by Eutychus Kariuki, Carey Minteer

“…Although the larvae and pupae of Neochetina bruchi and Neochetina eichhorniae have similar appearance and behavior and can be difficult to differentiate by casual observation (Deloach and Cordo 1976), the adult stages of the two species of water hyacinth weevils can be distinguished relatively easily based on the color patterns on their elytra (hardened fore wings). …”
