One route to create tunable metamaterials is through integration with "on-demand" dynamic quantum materials, such as vanadium dioxide (VO2). This enables new modalities to create high performance devices for historically challenging applications. Indeed, dynamic materials have often been integrated with metamaterials to imbue artificial structures with some degree of tunability. Conversely, metamaterials can be used to enhance and extend the natural tuning range of dynamic materials. Utilizing a complementary split ring resonator array deposited on a VO2 film, we demonstrate enhanced terahertz transmission modulation upon traversing the insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) at ~340 K. Our complementary metamaterial increases the modulation amplitude of the original VO2 film from 42% to 68.3% at 0.47 THz upon crossing the IMT, corresponding to an enhancement of 62.4%. Moreover, temperature dependent transmission measurements reveal a redshift of the resonant frequency arising from a giant increase of the permittivity of the VO2 film. Maxwell-Garnett effective medium theory was employed to explain the permittivity change upon transitioning through the IMT. Our results highlight that symbiotic integration of metamaterial arrays with quantum materials provides a powerful approach to engineer emergent functionality.

Probabilistic computing has emerged as a viable approach to solve hard optimization problems. Devices with inherent stochasticity can greatly simplify their implementation in electronic hardware. Here, we demonstrate intrinsic stochastic resistance switching controlled via electric fields in perovskite nickelates doped with hydrogen. The ability of hydrogen ions to reside in various metastable configurations in the lattice leads to a distribution of transport gaps. With experimentally characterized p-bits, a shared-synapse p-bit architecture demonstrates highly-parallelized and energy-efficient solutions to optimization problems such as integer factorization and Boolean-satisfiability. The results introduce perovskite nickelates as scalable potential candidates for probabilistic computing and showcase the potential of light-element dopants in next-generation correlated semiconductors.

A new genus and species, Termitocnemis huangi gen. et sp. nov., of the tenebrionine tribe Amarygmini Gistel, 1848 is described from Fujian Province, southeastern China. All specimens were collected from a healthy nest of the termite genus Nasutitermes Dudley, 1890, implying that this species is truly termitophilous. Transitional habitus characters of the new species shed further light on the evolution of amarygmine beetles from free-living to termitophily. Given the discovery of this new genus a revised key is provided to the Oriental genera of termitophilous Amarygmini.

Due to their low absorption, the LaF3/MgF2 material pair is widely used in the far-ultraviolet space payload. In the space environment, there are plenty of energetic particles (electrons, protons, γ rays, and atomic oxygen) and strong ultraviolet lines. These energetic particles penetrate into the films, and may change the materials’ physical and chemical structures. Hence, these energetic particles and ultraviolet lines may degrade the performance of LaF3/MgF2. We examined the effect of a simulated high-energy space environment on a LaF3/MgF2 multilayer. Dendritic patterns were observed in LaF3/MgF2 multilayer irradiated by the 30 keV electrons. The generation mechanism was proposed. This pattern was gradient wrinkle delamination due to the electric discharge, and it was non-uniform, asymmetric. This problem can be avoided by decreasing the substrate heating temperature and lay number (total thickness), and choosing the fluoride material substrate. The LaF3/MgF2 multilayer demonstrated no changes after the irradiation of the protons, γ rays, atomic oxygen, and ultraviolet lines.

Geotechnical materials are complex materials with very strong structures, but their structural problems have always been difficult problems in this field. In this paper, by studying the structural problems of geotechnical materials, we understand and master this kind of structural materials. Methods for describing complex materials, as well as the nature, characteristics, and changes of the material after being affected by the environment, especially the influence of the structure of the material on the macroscopic properties of the material. Starting from the basis of the material-material particles, fully consider the particle Geometry, surface characteristics and material characteristics, further analysis of the mechanical and geometric characteristics of structural materials composed of particles, a porosity model describing the pore size distribution is proposed, and the two-dimensional and three-dimensional The experimental data of pores in the space shows that the predicted value of the porosity model agrees well with the measured value in the three-dimensional space.In two-dimensional space, the validity of the model is closely related to the corresponding number of pores and the fractal dimension of the pore size distribution.

A simple, rapid, and environmentally friendly method has been established for the determination of chlorpyrifos residue in green tea by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction(DLLME) and gas chromatography-flame photometric detection (GC-FPD). Some experimental parameters that influence extraction efficiency, such as the kind and volume of disperser solvents and extraction solvents, extraction time, addition of salt and pH, were investigated. And the optimal experimental conditions were obtained, quantitative analysis was carried out using external standard method. The correlation coefficient of the calibration curves was 0.999 with in 0.05mg/kg to 5 mg/kg. The results showed that under the optimum conditions，the enrichment factors of the chlorpyrifos was about 484, the recoveries for standard addition fell in the range from 91.94% to 104.70% and the relative standard deviations (RSD) was 4.61%. The limit of quantification (LOQ) of chlorpyrifos in green tea was 0.02μg/ml at the signal/noise (S/N) ratio of 3.

Background. Homocysteine (Hcy) was implicated in oxidative stress and diabetes biologically. However, the clinical evidence on the link between Hcy level and diabetes is limited and controversial. This study is aimed at investigating the association of serum Hcy with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in diabetic patients. Methods. Serum Hcy was measured among 2,286 adults with type 2 diabetes in NHANES 1999-2006. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% CIs for the association of Hcy with all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Results. Over a median follow-up of 11.0 (interquartile range, 8.9-13.4) years, 952 of the 2286 patients with diabetes died, covering 269 (28.3%) cardiovascular deaths and 144 (15.2%) cancer deaths. Restricted cubic spline showed the linear relationship between Hcy and all-cause mortality risk. After multivariate adjustment, higher serum Hcy levels were independently associated with increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Compared with participants in the bottom tertile of Hcy, the multivariate-adjusted HRs and 95% CI for participants in the top quartile were 2.33 (1.64-3.30) for all-cause mortality ( p trend < 0.001 ), 2.24 (1.22-4.10) for CVD mortality ( p trend = 0.017 ), and 2.05 (0.90-4.69) for cancer mortality ( p trend = 0.096 ). The association with total mortality was especially stronger among patients with albuminuria. Serum Hcy significantly improved reclassification for 10-year mortality in diabetic patients (net reclassification index = 0.253 and integrated discrimination improvement = 0.011 ). Conclusions. Serum Hcy was associated with risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in diabetic adults. Our results suggested that Hcy was a promising biomarker in risk stratification among diabetic patients.

Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a deacetylase important for antioxidant protection, cell longevity, and aging. We hypothesized that SIRT3 improve oxidative resistance of aged cells and improve cell therapy in aged patients. In vitro, the proliferation and oxidative resistance of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) significantly declined with age. The expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes, including catalase (CAT) and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), increased after transfection of SIRT3 in hMSCs from older donors (O-hMSCs). The protein level of Forkhead box O3a (FOXO3a) in nucleus increased after SIRT3 overexpression. The antioxidant capacity of O-hMSCs increased after SIRT3 overexpression. 3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole (3-AT, CAT inhibitor) or diethyldithiocarbamate (DETC, SOD inhibitor) that was used to inhibit CAT or SOD activity significantly blocked the antioxidant function of SIRT3. When two inhibitors were used together, the antioxidant function of SIRT3 almost disappeared. Following myocardial infarction and intramyocardial injections of O-hMSCs in rats in vivo, the survival rate of O-hMSCs increased by SIRT3 transfection. The cardiac function of rats was improved after SIRT3-overexpressed O-hMSC transplantation. The infarct size, collagen content, and expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9 decreased. Besides, the protein level of vascular endothelial growth factor A and vascular density increased after cell transplantation with SIRT3-modified O-hMSCs. These results indicate that damage resistance of hMSCs decline with age and SIRT3 might protect O-hMSCs against oxidative damage by activating CAT and MnSOD through transferring FOXO3a into nucleus. Meanwhile, the therapeutic effect of aged hMSC transplantation can be improved by SIRT3 overexpression.

Sugarcane is the most important sugar crop in the world. The development of sugarcane plant protection by drones is still at the early stage. The evaluation and determination of the effective spray width and droplet distribution in the effective range of aerial spray not only improve the efficiency and quality of the aerial spray operation, but also reduce the pollution of chemical pesticides. To study the influence of the spray parameters of single-rotor drone on the effective spray width and droplet deposition in sugarcane canopy, experiments with two factors (flight height and flight velocity) and three levels were carried out. The results showed that the major factor affecting the effective spray width was drone flying height. For droplet density, the combination of 5.5 m flight height and 2.0 m/s flight velocity was found suitable. Under the condition of 6.0 m of flight height and 2.0 m/s of flight velocity, the effective spray width was the optimal. For droplet deposition uniformity, the combination of 6.0 m flight height and 3.0 m/s flight velocity was suitable. Under the comprehensive consideration, the optimal spraying parameters were chosen as 6.0 m of flight height and 2.5 m/s of flight velocity, which led to the lowest usage of pesticide at 15.38 L/ha. The results of this research can provide guidance for choosing proper parameters of single-rotor drone in sugarcane protection.

Stem cell transplantation is nearly available for clinical application in the treatment of ischaemic heart disease (IHD), where it may be joined traditional methods (intervention and surgery). The angiogenic ability of seed cells is essential for this applicability. The aim of this study was to reveal the presence of CD34+ angiogenic stem cells in human decidua at the first trimester and to use their strong angiogenic capacity in the treatment of IHD. In vitro, human decidual CD34+ (dCD34+ ) cells from the first trimester have strong proliferation and clonality abilities. After ruling out the possibility that they were vascular endothelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), dCD34+ cells were found to be able to form tube structures after differentiation. Their angiogenic capacity was obviously superior to that of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). At the same time, these cells had immunogenicity similar to that of BMSCs. Following induction of myocardial infarction (MI) in adult rats, infarct size decreased and cardiac function was significantly enhanced after dCD34+ cell transplantation. The survival rate of cells increased, and more neovasculature was found following dCD34+ cell transplantation. Therefore, this study confirms the existence of CD34+ stem cells with strong angiogenic ability in human decidua from the first trimester, which can provide a new option for cell-based therapies for ischaemic diseases, especially IHD.

Significance: The pathogenesis and progression of allergic inflammation in the respiratory system are closely linked to oxidative stress. Thioredoxin (TRX) is an essential redox balance regulator in organisms and is induced by various oxidative stress factors, including ultraviolet rays, radiation, oxidation, viral infections, ischemia reperfusion, and anticancer agents. Recent Advances: We demonstrated that systemic administration and transgenic overexpression of TRX is useful in a wide variety of in vivo inflammatory respiratory diseases models, such as viral pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, by removing reactive oxygen species, blocking production of inflammatory cytokines, inhibiting migration and activation of neutrophils and eosinophils, and regulating the cellular redox status. In addition, TRX's anti-inflammatory mechanism is different from the mechanisms associated with anti-inflammatory agents, such as glucocorticoids, which regulate the inflammatory reaction in association with suppressing immune responses. Critical Issues: Understanding the molecular mechanism of TRX is very helpful for understanding the role of TRX in respiratory diseases. In this review, we show the protective effect of TRX in various respiratory diseases. In addition, we discuss its anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory molecular mechanism in detail. Future Directions: The application of TRX may be useful for treating respiratory allergic inflammatory disorders. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 32, 785-801.

Background Vein graft (VG) failure due to neointimal hyperplasia remains an important and unresolved problem in cardiovascular surgery. Sirtuin3 (SIRT3) is associated with oxidative stress and lifespan. We aimed to measure SIRT3 expression in the veins of humans and rats during aging, explore the inhibitory effects of SIRT3 on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and neointimal hyperplasia in VGs, and investigate the underlying mechanisms. Methods SIRT3 mRNA and protein levels in saphenous veins of young and older humans and in veins of young and old rats were measured by quantitative real-time polymerized chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot analysis. Young and old male rats were randomized to the control (control), graft (graft), adenovirus-encoding green fluorescent protein (Ad-GFP), and adenovirus encoding SIRT3 (Ad-SIRT3) groups. At 7 days after operation, the mRNA and protein levels of SIRT3 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) were measured by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. The mRNA levels and enzyme activity of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and catalase (CAT) were measured by quantitative real-time PCR and enzymatic activity assay kits, and total nitric oxide (NO) levels were measured by biochemical assay kits. Histomorphometric analysis of VGs and immunohistochemical staining for proliferative activity were performed at 4 weeks after operation. The hemodynamic parameters of the VGs were also measured by ultrasonic examination. Results SIRT3 mRNA and protein levels were lower in older human and rat veins than in younger human and rat veins. Ad-SIRT3 treatment significantly increased the expression and concentration of SIRT3, MnSOD, CAT, eNOS, and NO in VGs at 7 days after operation. Ad-SIRT3 gene transfer reduced the neointimal thickness and neointimal area/media area ratio in the VGs of the Ad-SIRT3 groups compared with the graft and Ad-GFP groups, especially in old rats. Proliferative activity was lower in the Ad-SIRT3 groups than in the other groups. The hemodynamic parameters of VGs were obviously improved in the Ad-SIRT3 groups. Conclusions SIRT3 expression decreases in the veins of humans and rats during aging. Furthermore, SIRT3 overexpression can significantly reduce VSMC proliferation and neointimal hyperplasia in VGs. Local intravenous delivery of adenovirus encoding SIRT3 may be a promising gene therapy for preventing VG failure.

The spleen is an important site of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) preconditioning and tumor-promoting myeloid cell generation in cancer, but the regulatory mechanism remains unclear. Here, we found that PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) mediated HSPC reprogramming into committed MDSC precursors in the spleen via PERK–ATF4–C/EBPβ signaling. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of this pathway in murine and human HSPCs prevented their myeloid descendant cells from becoming MDSCs even with subsequent exposure to tumor microenvironment (TME) factors. In mice, the selective delivery of PERK antagonists to the spleen was not only sufficient but more effective than the tumor-targeted strategy in preventing MDSC activation in the tumor, leading to profound TME reshaping and tumor regression. Clinically, HSPCs in the spleen of cancer patients exhibit increased PERK signaling correlated with enhanced myelopoiesis. Our findings indicate that PERK-mediated HSPC preconditioning plays a crucial role in MDSC generation, suggesting novel spleen-targeting therapeutic opportunities for restraining the tumor-promoting myeloid response at its source.

Frank & Sekerka (2020) described this subspecies as elytra semi-matt and about half of specimens with impression at basal third of each elytron. However, all the three specimens we examined were without the impression mentioned above. It is the same in habitus of this species in Ong & Hattori (2019) and by personal communication with Wen-I Chou. Whether all specimens from Taiwan are without impression at basal third of each elytron needs to be verified. Ong & Hattori (2019) cited the former two host plants from Ohmomo & Fukutomi (2013) but we found it was misquoted. Four host plants listed by Ohmomo & Fukutomi (2013) are cited as the host plants of subspecies C. (C.) lewisii lewisii. It seems Terminalia catappa is not the real host and sometimes the species can be found on Castanopsis carlesii and Alnus formosana (Wen-I Chou, pers. comm. 2021)., Published as part of Qi, Zhi-Hao, Ai, Hong-Mu & Song, Hai-Tian, 2022, Notes on the genus Chrysodema from China (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Chrysochroinae), with one new species and one new record, pp. 355-368 in Zootaxa 5099 (3) on page 360, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5099.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6078948, {"references":["Frank, D. & Sekerka, L.

Frank & Sekerka (2020) examined many specimens and noted this species was known only from the female holotype labelled just as Laos. However, they did not mention the specimen from Yunnan. Kub��&ncaron; (2006, 2016) mentioned occurrence of C. (C.) aurostriata in Yunnan and the record was followed also by Bellamy (2008). Unfortunately, no formal faunistic record was published. According to V. Kub��&ncaron; (pers. comm. 2021), it was based on specimens collected by Jing-Ke Li (often as Li Jingke, but Li is the family name), which he had seen personally during his expedition to Laos, where he met Jing-Ke Li. The material from Yunnan looked trustworthy to him as it contained morphotypes of common species typical for that region and hence he included it in the Palaearctic Catalogue. According to him the specimen(s) were certainly smooth and golden-green and thus probably belonged to C. (C.) vrabeci.

Description of holotype. Well preserved &male; specimen (Fig. 1A–C, 2C, 5A). Length 2.03 cm, width 0.66 cm, length/width ratio: 3.08. Body metallic green, shiny. Impunctate (or micropunctate) areas on dorsal side dark blue to purple. Pronotum with bright golden green mixed macropunctation, principal impressions with golden green mixed punctation. Punctation on elytra variegate golden green mixed, and elytra with metallic green regular stripes; principal and lateral impressions bright golden-green; lateral margin metallic green. Ventral side bright metallic green. Legs including tarsi metallic green, ventral pads black, basally brown. Labrum, maxillae and labium yellowish-brown; maxillar and labial palpi brown to black. Scape and pedicel metallic green, remaining antennomeres brownish-black. Pronotum moderately densely macropunctate with narrow and sparsely micropunctate interspaces. Medial line well visible with longitudinal dense macropunctation from both sides of medial line to fifth of lateral margin, followed by relatively sparse punctation with many punctures connected and forming obviously narrow longitudinal impressed lines (principal impressions) at three fifths of medial line to lateral margin, next to lateral margin are moderately densely punctate. Medial impressions shallow but distinct. Principal impressions distinct and weakly delimited from disc. Lateral impressions not obvious. Lateral margin relatively straight. Each elytron regularly with four slightly but distinctly convex costae, 1st and 2nd costa united at both base and apex of elytron, gradually narrowed. 1st slightly wider than 2nd. 3rd costa starts from lateral base and ends at apical third of elytron, 4th costa starts at basal fourth of elytron near lateral edge and ends at apex. Punctation always regular. Subscutellar interval (row of puncture distributed along basal part of elytral suture) denser at basal fifth. Other punctures form 4 wide longitudinal intercostal intervals on each elytron (1st–4th intercostal intervals). Small oval impression occurrs at base of 2nd intercostal interval and obvious oval impression at about basal third. Lateral impression (4th intercostal interval) with condensed wax layer thus appears like elongate opaque yellow stripe. Large elliptical principal impression protrudes from lateral impression to 3rd intercostal interval at apical third of elytron, and interrupts 3rd intercostal interval. Lateral impression narrowed after large elliptical principal impression, and then rewidening, before narrowingly evenly to apex. Epipleura gradually narrowed at apical third of elytron, with continuous teeth. All tibiae and femora are metallic green, with dense punctation and short setae. Outer margin of apex of protibia has nearly triangular protrusion. Ventral side of body (Fig. 1B) and lateral sides (Fig. 1C) of all abdominal ventrites very densely punctate. Ventrite V triangularly excavated at tip (Fig. 2C). Aedeagus (Fig. 5A) length: 5.22 mm, width: 1.02 mm, length/width ratio: 5.12. Apices of parameres subtruncate, inner tip relatively rounded, lateral margin of parameres relatively straight, only slightly curved. Penis oval, in ventral view with shallow and linear impression along midline, lateral sides with deep canaliculus, which has dorsal side much broader than ventral. Variation.

(Main specimens see Fig. 2.) Dorsal colouration usually with distinct dark blue purple tint. Oval impressions on 2nd intercostal interval vary from moderately large to small or absent, and the number from 3, 2, 1 to 0 on one side. These features are usually positively correlated with body size. The elliptical elytral principal impression also varies in size and shape. One specimen (Fig. 2J) with elliptical principal impression and oval impression at apical third obviously connected. Structure of elytra and pronotum nearly constant. Female Ventrite V slightly notched at the tip (Fig. 2D). Aedeagus (n=5) length: 4.18–5.35 mm, width: 0.88–1.08 mm, length/width ratio: 4.75–5.12. Small-sized specimens may have some variation in the parameres, penis nearly constant (Fig. 5B). Biology and adult host plant. Adults eat leaves of Toona ciliata and can be found on the tree frequently. Etymology. The specific name is after the type locality. Distribution. China (Hainan Island). Remarks. The characters of this new species seem to be between Chrysodema sonnerati species-group and Chrysodema aurostriata species-group (sensu Frank & Sekerka, 2020). The following two characters of this new species are similar to the former species-group: 1) The principal impressions on pronotum distinct, longitudinal, narrowed; 2) elytra without obvious transverse impressions but with large elliptical principal impressions. However, with slightly but distinctly convex costae and wide longitudinal intercostal intervals on elytra are more similar to the latter species-group. Since the new species is most similar to C. (C.) lewisii nakatai at first glance, we assign it to the Chrysodema sonnerati species-group. Although many species of genus Chrysodema have been sold as ornamental beetles in large quantities for years, only a limited number of host plants have been discovered, such as Terminalia catappa (Family: Combretaceae), Machilus thunbergii (Family: Lauraceae), Castanopsis sieboldii sieboldii, Lithocarpus edulis, Quercus phillyreoides (Family: Fagaceae), Mallotus japonicus (Family: Euphorbiaceae) and Casuarina equisetifolia (larva, Family: Casuarinaceae)(Ohmomo & Fukutomi, 2013; Ong & Hattori, 2019). The adult host plant of this new species is a newly recorded family and genus for Chrysodema. Differential diagnosis. This new species presents several diagnostic characters which allow it to be easily separated from other related species: 1) Punctation on each elytron always regular, forms 4 wide longitudinal intercostal intervals, 2) most specimens with large elliptical principal impression protruding from lateral impression to 3rd intercostal interval at apical third of each elytron, 3) most specimens with oval impression in 2nd intercostal interval of each elytron at basal third, 4) apices of parameres subtruncate, inner tip relatively rounded, lateral margin of parameres relatively straight, only a slight curvature; Penis oval, no obvious widening.

Distribution. Japan (Hachij�� and Tsushima islands south to Miyako Island) (Frank & Sekerka, 2020). Adult host plant. Castanopsis sieboldii sieboldii, Lithocarpus edulis, Quercus phillyreoides, Quercus spp. (Ohmomo & Fukutomi, 2013). Remarks. According to Frank & Sekerka (2020) the specimen above can certainly be identified as C. (C.) lewisii lewisii by the habitus characters and distribution, but the characters of aedeagus is obviously similar to C. (C.) lewisii nakatai. Since the apices of parameres also exhibit variation in C. (C.) hainanensis sp. nov., we consider the elytral characters sometimes more significant than the apices of parameres. Hence, we finally identified the specimen as C. (C.) lewisii lewisii. Whether the two subspecies of C. (C.) lewisii should be divided into more subspecies or synonymised may need further research with molecular methods., Published as part of Qi, Zhi-Hao, Ai, Hong-Mu & Song, Hai-Tian, 2022, Notes on the genus Chrysodema from China (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Chrysochroinae), with one new species and one new record, pp. 355-368 in Zootaxa 5099 (3) on page 360, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5099.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6078948, {"references":["Frank, D. & Sekerka, L.

This is a variable species, which is mainly reflected in the number of transverse impressions on each elytron. Three of our four specimens only with an obvious transverse principal impression on the lateral impression towards elytral suture at apical third of each elytron. Specimens in Figs 3F and 8D have an extra transverse impression at basal third of each elytron, which angles slightly to the elytral suture. It is quite similar to Figs 138 and 139 in Lander (2003), only transverse impressions on apical third are larger. Apex of ovipositor varies, slightly protruding (Fig. 5L), flat (Fig. 5O) or slightly concave (Fig. 5R).

The genus Chrysodema currently recorded from China contains 6 species/subspecies: C. (Chrysodema) aurostriata Saunders, 1866 from Yunnan, C. (C.) lewisii nakatai Frank & Sekerka, 2020, C. (C.) eximia berliozi Descarpentries, 1948, C. (Pseudochrysodema) dalmanni dalmanni (Mannerheim, 1837), C. (P.) dalmanni penghuensis Hattori & Ong, 2020 and C. (P.) yasumatsui Kurosawa, 1954 all from Taiwan. In this study, one new species, Chrysodema (Chrysodema) hainanensis sp. nov. from Hainan Island, China is described, illustrated, and the variation is given. The host plant Toona ciliata is new for the genus Chrysodema. The differences of the new species to its related species and subspecies are discussed and keyed. C. (C.) aurostriata from Yunnan probably belonged to C. (C.) vrabeci and still need verification. C. (C.) tonkinea Kerremans, 1909 was recorded from Guangxi (new country record). All Chrysodema species and subspecies recorded from China except C. (P.) dalmanni penghuensis and the unverified C. (C.) aurostriata were examined, and a key is given for identification.

We derive the approximate, ``analytic-kludge'' (AK) waveforms for the inspiral of a charged stellar-mass compact object (CO) into a charged massive Kerr-Newman (KN) black hole (BH). The modifications of the inspiral orbit due to the charges in this system can be attributed to three sources: the electric force between the CO and the MBH, the energy flow of the dipole electromagnetic radiation, and the deformation of the metric caused by the charge of the MBH. All these are encoded explicitly in the fundamental frequencies of the orbits, which are calculated analytically in the weak-field regime. By calculating the mismatch between the waveforms for charged and neutral EMRI systems with respect to space-borne detectors TianQin and LISA, we show that tiny charges in the system can produce distinct imprints on the waveforms. Finally, we perform parameter estimation for the charges using the Fisher information matrix method and find that the precision can reach the level of $10^{-5}$ in suitable scenarios. We also study the effects of charges on the parameter estimation of charge, where the effects from the charge of the MBH can be well explained by its effects on the cutoff of the inspiral., Comment: 15 pages, 7 figures, nb source is available, minor changes, to be published in PRD
