The Guppy Effect as Interference

People use conjunctions and disjunctions of concepts in ways that violate the rules of classical logic, such as the law of compositionality. Specifically, they overextend conjunctions of concepts, a phenomenon referred to as the Guppy Effect. We build on previous efforts to develop a quantum model that explains the Guppy Effect in terms of interference. Using a well-studied data set with 16 exemplars that exhibit the Guppy Effect, we developed a 17-dimensional complex Hilbert space H that models the data and demonstrates the relationship between overextension and interference. We view the interference effect as, not a logical fallacy on the conjunction, but a signal that out of the two constituent concepts, a new concept has emerged.Comment: 10 page

Guppy: Process-Oriented Programming on Embedded Devices

Guppy is a new and experimental process-oriented programming language, taking much inspiration (and some code-base) from the existing occam-pi language. This paper reports on a variety of aspects related to this, specifically language, compiler and run-time system development, enabling Guppy programs to run on desktop and embedded systems. A native code-generation approach is taken, using C as the intermediate language, and with stack-space requirements determined at compile-time

PEMANFAATAN LARUTAN BUAH PARE (Momordica charantia) UNTUK MASKULINISASI IKAN GUPPY (Poecilia reticulata) DENGAN DOSIS YANG BERBEDA

ABSTRACT Ikan guppy (Poecilia reticulata) adalah ikan hias air tawar yang banyak diminati karena memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi serta mudah dibudidayakan. Ikan guppy jantan memiliki bentuk, ciri khas ekor, serta warna yang lebih menarik dibandingkan ikan guppy betina. Permasalahan yang sering dihadapi pada pemijahan ikan guppy adalah persentase benih ikan guppy jantan yang dihasilkan lebih rendah dibandingkan benih ikan guppy betina. Maskulinisasi adalah upaya pengarahan kelamin larva atau benih untuk meningkatkan persentase benih ikan guppy jantan. Buah pare (Momordica charantia) merupakan bahan alami mengandung senyawa alkaloid, steroid, saponin dan flavonoid yang berpotensi mendukung proses maskulinisasi ikan guppy. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh perendaman larutan buah pare dengan dosis yang berbeda terhadap persentase jenis kelamin ikan guppy. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimental Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan serta 3 ulangan yaitu tanpa pemberian larutan buah pare (P0), pemberian larutan buah pare dosis 5 ml/l (P1), dosis 10 ml/l (P2), dan dosis 15 ml/l (P3). Perendaman dilakukan pada larva ikan guppy selama 12 jam, sedangkan lama pemeliharaan ikan guppy paska perendaman adalah 45 hari. Hasil yang didapatkan pada penelitian ini yaitu persentase kelamin jantan ikan guppy terbaik diperoleh pada perlakuan pemberian larutan buah pare dosis 5 ml/l (P1) dengan nilai 66%, namun hasil tersebut tidak berbeda nyata dengan P2 (63%) dan P3 (59%). Tingkat kelangsungan hidup paska perendaman untuk seluruh perlakuan adalah 100%, sedangkan tingkat kelangsungan hidup terbaik paska pemeliharaan diperoleh P0 dengan nilai 93%, namun hasil tersebut tidak berbeda nyata dengan P1 (93%), dan P2 (84%). Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah perendaman larva dengan larutan buah pare dosis 5 ml/l menghasilkan persentase ikan guppy jenis kelamin jantan yang lebih tinggi sebesar 66% dibandingkan tanpa perendaman larutan buah pare yaitu 43%.Ikan guppy (Poecilia reticulata) adalah ikan hias air tawar yang banyak diminati karena memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi serta mudah dibudidayakan.

The Pet-Fish problem on the World-Wide Web

We identify the presence of Pet-Fish problem situations and the corresponding Guppy effect of concept theory on the World-Wide Web. For this purpose, we introduce absolute weights for words expressing concepts and relative weights between words expressing concepts, and the notion of 'meaning bound' between two words expressing concepts, making explicit use of the conceptual structure of the World-Wide Web. The Pet-Fish problem occurs whenever there are exemplars - in the case of Pet and Fish these can be Guppy or Goldfish - for which the meaning bound with respect to the conjunction is stronger than the meaning bounds with respect to the individual concepts.Comment: 8 page

Maskulinisasi Ikan Guppy (Poecilia Reticulata) Melalui Metode Perendaman Induk Menggunakan Air Kelapa Dengan Konsentrasi Berbeda

This study was conducted to analyse the use of coconut water doses to achieve a higher percentage of males in guppy breeding and how it affects the survival of guppy fry. The search took place in Mertoyudan, Magelang district between November 2021 and January 2022. This research plan was a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replicates. Treatments in this study were immersed in gravid females at 0%; 50%; 55%; and 60% solution concentration of coconut water. The data were analysed using a One Way ANOVA followed by the Least Significant Difference test. Results from the data analysis showed that gravid females were immersed in a coconut water solution increased the percentage of male guppy fry with the addition of coconut water doses used. The highest percentage of male guppy fry was 87.7% achieved in the immersion treatment at a 60% coconut water with a 100% survival rate.Keywords : coconut water, guppy (Poecilia reticulata), guppies gravid female, males in gupp

PromethION sequencing and assembly of the genome of Micropoecilia picta, a fish with a highly Degenerated Y chromosome

We here describe sequencing and assembly of both the autosomes and the sex chromosome in Micropoecilia picta, the closest related species to the guppy, Poecilia reticulata. Poecilia (Micropoecilia) picta is a close outgroup for studying the guppy, an important organism for studies in evolutionary ecology and in sex chromosome evolution. The guppy XY pair (LG12) has long been studied as a test case for the importance of sexually antagonistic variants in selection for suppressed recombination between Y and X chromosomes. The guppy Y chromosome is not degenerated, but appears to carry functional copies of all genes that are present on its X counterpart. The X chromosomes of M. picta (and its relative Micropoecilia parae) are homologous to the guppy XY pair, but their Y chromosomes are highly degenerated, and no genes can be identified in the fully Y-linked region. A complete genome sequence of a M. picta male may therefore contribute to understanding how the guppy Y evolved. These fish species’ genomes are estimated to be about 750 Mb, with high densities of repetitive sequences, suggesting that long-read sequencing is needed. We evaluated several assembly approaches, and used our results to investigate the extent of Y chromosome degeneration in this species

Biological Control of Alfalfa Blotch Leafminer (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in Ontario: Status and Ecology of Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Eulophidae) 20 Years After Introduction

Two European parasitoid species were released in Ontario during the late 1970\u27s to control the alfalfa blotch leafminer, Agromyza frontella (Rondani) (Diptera: Agromyzidae). One of these, Dacnusa dryas (Nixon) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), rapidly became established and the other, Chrysocharis liriomyzae (= C. punctifacies) (Delucchi) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) was never recovered in Ontario. In 1999, we found both D. dryas and C. liriomyzae parasitizing first-generation A. frontella in Ontario in 1999. The combined parasitism rate for both species as revealed by larval dissections was 97.5% by the end of the first A. frontella generation. Of the adult parasitoids reared, 86% were D. dryas and 14% were C. liriomyzae. Most parasitized larvae contained a single unencapsulated (i.e., healthy) larva, along with one or more encapsulated eggs. No larvae were encapsulated, but the overall egg encapsulation rate was 47%. By the end of the first A. frontella generation, 86% of parasitized hosts contained at least one unencapsulated parasitoid and could therefore produce an adult parasitoid, and 12% of parasitized hosts escaped parasitism by containing only encapsulated parasitoids. The sex ratio of D. dryas was even at emergence, but strongly female-biased in sweep samples from the field. Egg loads of D. dryas females were all greater than zero and as high in the field as our highest laboratory estimates, suggesting that egg availability does not limit fitness under the conditions that we observed in the field

Habituation of Predator Inspection and Boldness in the Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)

This study examined habituation of the predator inspection behavior in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) and its relationship with boldness (open field locomotion). Two different strategies were discovered: (1) initial inspection of a predator-like fish, correlated with boldness; (2) subsequent surveillance, governed by a random underlying process and unrelated with boldness. The surveillance inspection is probably linked with anti-predator vigilance. Possible implications to between-population variation in inspection behavior are discussed
