description: Brain size and cognitive skills are the most dramatically changed traits in humans during evolution and yet the genetic mechanisms underlying these human-specific changes remain elusive. Here, we successfully generated 11 transgenic rhesus monkeys (8 first-generation and 3 second-generation) carrying human copies of MCPH1, an important gene for brain development and brain evolution. Brain-image and tissue-section analyses indicated an altered pattern of neural-cell differentiation, resulting in a delayed neuronal maturation and neural-fiber myelination of the transgenic monkeys, similar to the known evolutionary change of developmental delay (neoteny) in humans. Further brain-transcriptome and tissue-section analyses of major developmental stages showed a marked human-like expression delay of neuron differentiation and synaptic-signaling genes, providing a molecular explanation for the observed brain-developmental delay of the transgenic monkeys. More importantly, the transgenic monkeys exhibited better short-term memory and shorter reaction time compared with the wild-type controls in the delayed-matching-to-sample task. The presented data represent the first attempt to experimentally interrogate the genetic basis of human brain origin using a transgenic monkey model and it values the use of non-human primates in understanding unique human traits.

description: The human brain undergoes extensive and dynamic growth during the first years of life. The UNC/UMN Baby Connectome Project (BCP), one of the Lifespan Connectome Projects funded by NIH, is an ongoing study jointly conducted by investigators at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Minnesota. The primary objective of the BCP is to characterize brain and behavioral development in typically developing infants across the first 5 years of life. The ultimate goals are to chart emerging patterns of structural and functional connectivity during this period, map brain-behavior associations, and establish a foundation from which to further explore trajectories of health and disease. To accomplish these goals, we are combining state of the art MRI acquisition and analysis techniques, including high-resolution structural MRI (T1-and T2-weighted images), diffusion imaging (dMRI), and resting state functional connectivity MRI (rfMRI). While the overall design of the BCP largely is built on the protocol developed by the Lifespan Human Connectome Project (HCP), given the unique age range of the BCP cohort, additional optimization of imaging parameters and consideration of an age appropriate battery of behavioral assessments were needed. Here we provide the overall study protocol, including approaches for subject recruitment, strategies for imaging typically developing children 0–5 years of age without sedation, imaging protocol and optimization, a description of the battery of behavioral assessments, and QA/QC procedures. Combining HCP inspired neuroimaging data with well-established behavioral assessments during this time period will yield an invaluable resource for the scientific community.

description: This thesis investigates a process-based socially engaged practice from the perspective of a designer and architect by training. It outlines a trajectory of research as explored through two projects, Diary (1976-2009) and the Meta Portrait. Using a methodology underpinned by empathetic design thinking (Gaver, Sanders, Brown) and animated by an ethnographic and reflexive approach to site-oriented (Green, Hiller) and socially engaged art practice (Chang, Kimbell), this thesis focuses on the Meta Portrait, as experienced through a virtual and material-based project. The work aims to reveal unique insights into the cultural, social,and political layers that shape an individual's identity, and ultimately a place, relative to time and space (Massey). Meta Portrait is a site-oriented method of inquiry into the social fabric of Emily Carr University. The project utilizes a visual and textual ethnographic tool in the form of a cultural probe to engage a small cross section of the university community, including myself as a participant observer. The work explores the possibilities for a type of place-specific socially engaged interdisciplinary practice, one with the capacity to understand individuals, communities, or cities through temporal and impermanent interventions within the public realm. The possibilities for socially engaged cultural probes within an interdisciplinary social practice may lead to new ways of thinking about how, as artists and designers, we may begin to engage and/or catalyze an individual or collective agency within a place-specific framework.

description: Let $X_Σ$ be a smooth complete toric variety defined by a fan $Σ$ and let $V=V(I)$ be a subscheme of $X_Σ$ defined by an ideal $I$ homogeneous with respect to the grading on the total coordinate ring of $X_Σ$. We show a new expression for the Segre class $s(V,X_Σ)$ in terms of the projective degrees of a rational map specified by the generators of $I$ when each generator corresponds to a numerically effective (nef) divisor. Restricting to the case where $X_Σ$ is a smooth projective toric variety and dehomogenizing the total homogeneous coordinate ring of $X_Σ$ via a dehomogenizing ideal we also give an expression for the projective degrees of this rational map in terms of the dimension of an explicit quotient ring. Under an additional technical assumption we construct what we call a general dehomogenizing ideal and apply this construction to give effective algorithms to compute the Segre class $s(V,X_Σ)$, the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class $c_{SM}(V)$ and the topological Euler characteristic $χ(V)$ of $V$. These algorithms can, in particular, be used for subschemes of any product of projective spaces $\mathbb{P}^{n_1} \times \cdots \times \mathbb{P}^{n_j}$ or for subschemes of many other projective toric varieties. Running time bounds for several of the algorithms are given and the algorithms are tested on a variety of examples. In all applicable cases our algorithms to compute these characteristic classes are found to offer significantly increased performance over other known algorithms.

description: Research on entrepreneurial team diversity (ETD) has reached a critical juncture as inconsistent findings hinder further theory development. The main reasons for these inconsistencies are one-dimensional theoretical perspectives that make it difficult to comprehensively theorize the benefits and barriers of ETD from a cross-disciplinary perspective. To address this shortcoming, we systematically identify existing literature and classify 44 studies into an ‘inputs-mediators-outcomes’ (IMO) framework. We find that the field is considerably fragmented, especially with regard to disciplinary perspectives, study contexts, diversity dimensions, and outcome variables. To invigorate and advance the research stream, we highlight unresolved issues and knowledge gaps in the current literature and propose a multi-disciplinary research agenda presented in the form of an IMO framework. We conclude that, while existing research on ETD offers a solid foundation, it is far from having reached its full potential.

description: Barbula muralis. I investigated the apex of young capules of this moss; in this state the peristome entirely presented the structure described in Barbula fallax. Some specimens had between normally thickened cords noticeable weak or thin ones. Note. I feel obliged to mention here an extremely interesting abnormality which I could observe in the course of investigations of the spore formation in Syntrichia subulata. In a capsule of the cited moss, in the centre of the columella besides the normally arranged mother cells in the spore sac, I saw a group of cells which were revealed to be spore mother cells by the formation of cells inside, Tab. LVIII. Fig. 9 *, x. Other sections made from below and above in the same capsule demonstrated that a continuous cord of them, originating in the spore sac, ran through the inner of the capsule up to the upper part as shown by the schematic figure of a longitudinal section of the capsule, Fig. 9 **, xx. This observation, made but once, may be interesting in relation to a controversy, settled long ago, between [original page 574] Robert Brown and Palisot de Beauvois on the appearance of spores in the columella of mosses (compare Palisot de Beauvois in Mém. de la Société Linnéenne de Paris. Tom. I. p. 388, and Rob. Brown in its Vermischte Schriften by Nees v. Esenbeck p. 685).

description: We suggest that decay properties (branching ratios) of hadronic resonances may become modified in strong external magnetic field. The behavior of $K^{\pm *}\!$, $K^{0*}$ vector mesons as well as $Λ^*(1520)$ and $Ξ^{0*}$ baryonic states is considered in static fields $10^{13}$-\,$10^{15}$ T. In particular, $n=0$ Landau level energy increase of charged particles in the external magnetic field, and the interaction of hadron magnetic moments with the field is taken into account. We suggest that enhanced yield of dileptons and photons from $ρ^0(770)$ mesons may occur if strong decay channel $ρ^0 \rightarrow π^+π^-$ is significantly suppressed. CP - violating $π^+π^-$ decays of pseudoscalar $η_c$ and $η(547)$ mesons in the magnetic field are discussed, and superpositions of quarkonium states $η_{c,b}$ and $χ_{c,b}(nP)$ with $Ψ(nS), Υ(nS)$ mesons in the external field are considered.

description: Ceratodon purpureus. The structure of the capsule reveals an affinity with Trichostomum, also the annulus and the peristome. Differences to note are that in the central and the upper parts of the peristome the outer half of the teeth are weaker and terete, whilst the inner ones are stronger and appearing flattened, that means *) The separation of the genera Trichostomum and Barbula based on the difference of the structure of the peri- stome (Bruch and Schimper l. l. Fasc. XIII-XV Barbula p. 6 and Fasc. XVIII Trichostomum p. 3) is inadmis- sible because such a difference is non-existent. Both genera, together with Didymodon may be seen as a subunit of one genus not yet defined, because the turning of the peristome teeth is very variable. [original page 575] that the membrane thickening of the peristome cells itself is not so strong as that of the neighbouring cells (compare Tab. LXVI. Fig. 40. pp and tt).

description: Maternal inflammation during pregnancy can alter the trajectory of fetal brain development and increase risk for offspring psychiatric disorders. However, the majority of relevant research to date has been conducted in animal models. Here, in humans, we focus on the structural connectivity of frontolimbic circuitry as it is both critical for socioemotional and cognitive development, and commonly altered in a range of psychiatric disorders associated with intrauterine inflammation. Specifically, we test the hypothesis that elevated maternal concentration of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) during pregnancy will be associated with variation in microstructural properties of this circuitry in the neonatal period and across the first year of life. Pregnant mothers were recruited in early pregnancy and maternal blood samples were obtained for assessment of maternal IL-6 concentrations in early (12.6 ± 2.8 weeks [S.D.]), mid (20.4 ± 1.5 weeks [S.D.]) and late (30.3 ± 1.3 weeks [S.D.]) gestation. Offspring brain MRI scans were acquired shortly after birth (N = 86, scan age = 3.7 ± 1.7 weeks [S.D.]) and again at 12-mo age (N = 32, scan age = 54.0 ± 3.1 weeks [S.D.]). Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) was used to characterize fractional anisotropy (FA) along the left and right uncinate fasciculus (UF), representing the main frontolimbic fiber tract. In N = 30 of the infants with serial MRI data at birth and 12-mo age, cognitive and socioemotional developmental status was characterized using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. All analyses tested for potentially confounding influences of household income, prepregnancy Body-Mass-Index, obstetric risk, smoking during pregnancy, and infant sex, and outcomes at 12-mo age were additionally adjusted for the quality of the postnatal caregiving environment. Maternal IL-6 concentration (averaged across pregnancy) was prospectively and inversely associated with FA (suggestive of reduced integrity under high inflammatory conditions) in the newborn offspring (bi-lateral, p < 0.01) in the central portion of the UF proximal to the amygdala. Furthermore, maternal IL-6 concentration was positively associated with rate of FA increase across the first year of life (bi-lateral, p < 0.05), resulting in a null association between maternal IL-6 and UF FA at 12-mo age. Maternal IL-6 was also inversely associated with offspring cognition at 12-mo age, and this association was mediated by FA growth across the first year of postnatal life. Findings from the current study support the premise that susceptibility for cognitive impairment and potentially psychiatric disorders may be affected in utero, and that maternal inflammation may constitute an intrauterine condition of particular importance in this context.

description: Cognitive ability is an important predictor of mental health outcomes that is influenced by neurodevelopment. Evidence suggests that the foundational wiring of the human brain is in place by birth, and that the white matter (WM) connectome supports developing brain function. It is unknown, however, how the WM connectome at birth supports emergent cognition. In this study, a deep learning model was trained using cross-validation to classify full-term infants (n = 75) as scoring above or below the median at age 2 using WM connectomes generated from diffusion weighted magnetic resonance images at birth. Results from this model were used to predict individual cognitive scores. We additionally identified WM connections important for classification. The model was also evaluated in a separate set of preterm infants (n = 37) scanned at term-age equivalent. Findings revealed that WM connectomes at birth predicted 2-year cognitive score group with high accuracy in both full-term (89.5%) and preterm (83.8%) infants. Scores predicted by the model were strongly correlated with actual scores (r = 0.98 for full-term and r = 0.96 for preterm). Connections within the frontal lobe, and between the frontal lobe and other brain areas were found to be important for classification. This work suggests that WM connectomes at birth can accurately predict a child's 2-year cognitive group and individual score in full-term and preterm infants. The WM connectome at birth appears to be a useful neuroimaging biomarker of subsequent cognitive development that deserves further study.

description: In this paper, we show the compatibility of the so-called "dressing field method", which allows a systematic reduction of gauge symmetries, with the inclusion of diffeomorphisms in the BRST algebra of a gauge theory. The robustness of the scheme is illustrated on two examples where Cartan connections play a significant role. The former is General Relativity, while the latter concerns the second-order conformal structure where one ends up with a BRST algebra handling both the Weyl residual symmetry and diffeomorphisms of spacetime. We thereby provide a geometric counterpart to the BRST cohomological treatment used in~\cite{Boulanger1} in the construction of a Weyl covariant tensor calculus.

description: Raman spectra of rhombohedral boron monosulfide (r-BS) were measured under pressures up to 34 GPa at room temperature. No pressure-induced structural phase transition was observed, while strong pressure shift of Raman bands towards higher wavenumbers has been revealed. IR spectroscopy as a complementary technique has been used in order to completely describe the phonon modes of r-BS. All experimentally observed bands have been compared with theoretically calculated ones and modes assignment has been performed. r-BS enriched by 10B isotope was synthesized, and the effect of boron isotopic substitution on Raman spectra was observed and analyzed.

description: A hybrid system involving graphene oxide (GO), magnetic oxide (Fe3O4), acrylamide and dicyandiamide was prepared via amine functionalization of GO/Fe3O4 by means of covalent bonding with acrylamide and subsequent reaction with dicyandiamide to provide a multinitrogen containing polymer on the surface of GO. This hybrid system was utilized as a heterogeneous catalyst support for immobilizing Pd nanoparticles to provide the hybrid, Pd@GO/Fe3O4/PAA/DCA. This nano-Pd composite was characterized using Fourier transform infrared, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and ICP techniques and used for promoting Sonogashira cross-coupling under mild reaction conditions. This heterogeneous and magnetic catalyst was easily separated by external magnet and was reused in a model reaction, efficiently up to six times with slight loss of catalytic activity and Pd leaching, showing the suitability of GO/Fe3O4/PAA/DCA for embedding Pd nanoparticles. To check the effect of the number of surface nitrogens of the polymeric chain on the catalytic performance, the activity of the catalyst was compared with Pd@GO/Fe3O4/PAA; increased number of the surface nitrogens on the chain polymer leads to higher loading of Pd and lower the Pd leaching.

description: From the numerous detected planets outside the Solar system, no terrestrial planet comparable to our Earth has been discovered so far. The search for an Exo-Earth is certainly a big challenge which may require the detections of planetary systems resembling our Solar system in order to find life like on Earth. However, even if we find Solar system analogues, it is not certain that a planet in Earth position will have similar circumstances as those of Earth. Small changes in the architecture of the giant planets can lead to orbital perturbations which may change the conditions of habitability for a terrestrial planet in the habitable zone (HZ). We present a numerical investigation where we first study the motion of test-planets in a particular Jupiter-Saturn configuration for which we can expect strong gravitational perturbations on the motion at Earth position according to a previous work. In this study, we show that these strong perturbations can be reduced significantly by the neighboring planets of Earth. In the second part of our study we investigate the motion of test-planets in inclined Jupiter-Saturn systems where we analyze changes in the dynamical behavior of the inner planetary system. Moderate values of inclination seem to counteract the perturbations in the HZ while high inclinations induce more chaos in this region. Finally, we carry out a stability study of the actual orbits of Venus, Earth and Mars moving in the inclined Jupiter-Saturn systems for which we used the Solar system parameters. This study shows that the three terrestrial planets will only move in low-eccentric orbits if Saturn's inclination is <=10°. Therefore, it seems that it is advantageous for the habitability of Earth when all planets move nearly in the same plane.

description: Early social experiences, particularly maternal care, shape behavioral and physiological development in primates. Thus, it is not surprising that adverse caregiving, such as child maltreatment leads to a vast array of poor developmental outcomes, including increased risk for psychopathology across the lifespan. Studies of the underlying neurobiology of this risk have identified structural and functional alterations in cortico-limbic brain circuits that seem particularly sensitive to these early adverse experiences and are associated with anxiety and affective disorders. However, it is not understood how these neurobiological alterations unfold during development as it is very difficult to study these early phases in humans, where the effects of maltreatment experience cannot be disentangled from heritable traits. The current study examined the specific effects of experience (“nurture”)versus heritable factors (“nature”)on the development of brain white matter (WM)tracts with putative roles in socioemotional behavior in primates from birth through the juvenile period. For this we used a randomized crossfostering experimental design in a naturalistic rhesus monkey model of infant maltreatment, where infant monkeys were randomly assigned at birth to either a mother with a history of maltreating her infants, or a competent mother. Using a longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)atlas-based tract-profile approach we identified widespread, but also specific, maturational changes on major brain tracts, as well as alterations in a measure of WM integrity (fractional anisotropy, FA)in the middle longitudinal fasciculus (MdLF)and the inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF), of maltreated animals, suggesting decreased structural integrity in these tracts due to early adverse experience. Exploratory voxelwise analyses confirmed the tract-based approach, finding additional effects of early adversity, biological mother, social dominance rank, and sex in other WM tracts. These results suggest tract-specific effects of postnatal maternal care experience versus heritable or biological factors on primate WM microstructural development. Further studies are needed to determine the specific behavioral outcomes and biological mechanisms associated with these alterations in WM integrity.

description: Clinical applications of 3D image registration and superimposition have contributed to better understanding growth changes and clinical outcomes. The use of 3D dental and craniofacial imaging in dentistry requires validate image analysis methods for improved diagnosis, treatment planning, navigation and assessment of treatment response. Volumetric 3D images, such as cone-beam computed tomography, can now be superimposed by voxels, surfaces or landmarks. Regardless of the image modality or the software tools, the concepts of regions or points of reference affect all quantitative of qualitative assessments. This study reviews current state of the art in 3D image analysis including 3D superimpositions relative to the cranial base and different regional superimpositions, the development of open source and commercial tools for 3D analysis, how this technology has increased clinical research collaborations from centres all around the globe, some insight on how to incorporate artificial intelligence for big data analysis and progress towards personalized orthodontics.

description: A central question in information theory is to determine the maximum success probability that can be achieved in sending a fixed number of messages over a noisy channel. This was first studied in the pioneering work of Shannon who established a simple expression characterizing this quantity in the limit of multiple independent uses of the channel. Here we consider the general setting with only one use of the channel. We observe that the maximum success probability can be expressed as the maximum value of a submodular function. Using this connection, we establish the following results: 1. There is a simple greedy polynomial-time algorithm that computes a code achieving a (1-1/e)-approximation of the maximum success probability. Moreover, for this problem it is NP-hard to obtain an approximation ratio strictly better than (1-1/e). 2. Shared quantum entanglement between the sender and the receiver can increase the success probability by a factor of at most 1/(1-1/e). In addition, this factor is tight if one allows an arbitrary non-signaling box between the sender and the receiver. 3. We give tight bounds on the one-shot performance of the meta-converse of Polyanskiy-Poor-Verdu.

description: This study presents a web-system repository: Data Storage for Computation and Integration (DSCI) for Osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ OA). This environment aims to maintain and allow contributions to the database from multi-clinical centers and compute novel statistics for disease classification. For this purpose, imaging datasets stored in the DSCI consisted of three-dimensional (3D) surface meshes of condyles from CBCT, clinical markers and biological markers in healthy and TMJ OA subjects. A clusterpost package was included in the web platform to be able to execute the jobs in remote computing grids. The DSCI application allowed runs of statistical packages, such as the Multivariate Functional Shape Data Analysis to compute global correlations between covariates and the morphological variability, as well as local p-values in the 3D condylar morphology. In conclusion, the DSCI allows interactive advanced statistical tools for non-statistical experts.

description: Background: With the evolution of contemporary occupations mediated by digital technologies (DTs), there is a need for occupational therapists to develop and structure knowledge on how to support older adults’ engagement in occupations and social participation in a digitalised society. Objective: The objective of this study is to explore how tailoring to support older adults’ engagement in DT-mediated occupations could be schematised. Material and methods: The study employed a multiple case study methodology. There were nine cases, with each case involving an older adult undergoing a collaborative process to support engagement in DT-mediated occupations. The collaborative process was initiated through questionnaires, observations, and dialogues. Meetings and tailoring strategies were documented in fieldnotes and memos on tailoring, respectively. Semi-structured interviews concluded data collection. Cross-case synthesis was used in data analysis. Results: The result is a proposed scheme for tailoring to support older adults’ engagement in digital technology-mediated occupations, wherein strategies undertaken in the collaborative processes were synthesised and described. Conclusion and significance: The proposed scheme for tailoring could contribute to occupational therapists’ knowledge on how to support older adults’ engagement in contemporary occupations. Testing the model in various practice settings is recommended in order to enhance occupational therapy practice.

description: We developed a deep learning neural network, the Shape Variation Analyzer (SVA), that allows disease staging of bony changes in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA). The sample was composed of 259 TMJ CBCT scans for the training set and 34 for the testing dataset. The 3D meshes had been previously classified in 6 groups by 2 expert clinicians. We improved the robustness of the training data using data augmentation, SMOTE, to alleviate over-fitting and to balance classes. We combined geometrical features and a shape descriptor, heat kernel signature, to describe every shape. The results were compared to nine different supervised machine learning algorithms. The deep learning neural network was the most accurate for classification of TMJ OA. In conclusion, SVA is a 3D Slicer extension that classifies pathology of the temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis cases based on 3D morphology.
Machine Learning Software for the Classification of Four Top Quark Events at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV in the CMS Experiment

description: To better understand and identify the four top quark production event in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, a machine learning approach is used. Using a simulated set of results, a neural network is trained. Each simulated event contains 76 variables, and the importance of each variable is calculated by comparing the neural network's performance with and without access to that variable's data over the course of thousands of iterations. Only a few variables are found to have high significance, potentially indicating physical processes of interest and enabling a high-accuracy model to be created using only a subset of the input data.

description: Spatiotemporal shape models capture the dynamics of shape change over time and are an essential tool for monitoring and measuring anatomical growth or degeneration. In this paper we evaluate non-parametric shape regression on the challenging problem of modeling early childhood sub-cortical development starting from birth. Due to the flexibility of the model, it can be challenging to choose parameters which lead to a good model fit yet does not overfit. We systematically test a variety of parameter settings to evaluate model fit as well as the sensitivity of the method to specific parameters, and we explore the impact of missing data on model estimation.

description: We describe the design, construction, and characterization of the Band 9 heterodyne receivers (600-720 GHz) for the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA). The ALMA Band 9 receiver units ("cartridges"), which are installed in the telescope's front end, have been designed to detect and down-convert two orthogonal linear polarization components of the light collected by the ALMA antennas. The light entering the front end is refocused with a compact arrangement of mirrors, which is fully contained within the cartridge. The arrangement contains a grid to separate the polarizations and two beam splitters to combine each resulting beam with a local oscillator signal. The combined beams are fed into independent double-sideband mixers, each with a corrugated feedhorn coupling the radiation by way of a waveguide with backshort cavity into an impedance-tuned SIS junction that performs the heterodyne down-conversion. Finally, the generated intermediate frequency signals are amplified by cryogenic and room-temperature HEMT amplifiers and exported to the telescope's back end for further processing and, finally, correlation. The receivers have been constructed and tested in the laboratory and they show excellent performance, complying with ALMA requirements. Performance statistics on all 73 Band 9 receivers are reported. On-sky characterization and tests of the performance of the Band 9 cartridges are presented using commissioning data.
Conformal initialization for shape analysis applications in SALT

description: Shape analysis is an important method used in neuroimaging research community due to its potential to precisely locate morphological changes between healthy and pathological structures. A popular shape analysis framework in the neuroimaging community is based on the encoding surface locations as spherical harmonics for a representation called SPHARM-PDM. The SPHARM-PDM pipeline takes a set of brain segmentation of a single brain structure (for example, hippocampus) as input and converts them into a corresponding spherical harmonic description (SPHARM), which is then sampled into triangulated surface (SPHARM-PDM). At present, the SPHARM-PDM pipeline utilizes an area-preserving optimization of the spherical mapping based on an initial heat-equation based mapping of the surface mesh to the unit sphere. In the case of objects with complex shape, this initial spherical mapping suffers from a high degree of mapping distortion that cannot always be corrected by the following optimization procedure. Here we proposed the use of an alternative initialization based on a conformal flattening. This method adopts a bijective angle preserving conformal flattening scheme to replace the heat equation mapping scheme as initialization for use in the SPHARM-PDM pipeline. After quantitative measures of shape calculated from various complex structures, we concluded that in most cases, the new pipeline produced dramatically better results than the old pipeline. The main contribution of this paper is a command line tool based on the Slicer Execution Model, which merges the conformal flattening into the SPHARM-PDM pipeline for use in the SALT shape analysis toolbox.

Orthotrichum affine

description: Orthotrichum affine (pumilum). Immediately below the exterior membrane, or separated by a simple cell layer, is a layer of sixteen peristome cells each. Their walls orientated towards the outside are partly strongly thickened, the thickenings occupied by nearly cilium-like cylindrical projections. The inner walls have thickening cords only in the corners where two peristome cells come together, the corners are mostly alternatively thickened or not. The thickening of the outer walls forms only one cord; only exceptionally is it formed by two separated cords, see Tab. LXII. Fig. 21, in which case two neighbouring corners of the peristome cells are thickened, which is an exception in this species. – The cells of the layer tt bordering the peristome cells on the inner side have membranes that are occupied by cylindrical-warty bumps as well as the thickened outer walls of the peristome cells (but not so dense). When the capsule deteriorates or the operculum detaches, as it is known, eight teeth of the “outer” peristome and eight cilia as the “inner” peristome, arranged alternatively, appear; the eight teeth of the outer peristome are formed by the thickenings of the outer walls of two neighbouring peristome cells, the cilia by the alternatively thickened inner corners of the peristome cells, all the remaining membrane parts (as well as the horizontal separating walls) disintergrate and disappear. [original page 580] The inner peristome of species of Orthotrichum is composed of sixteen cilia, all the inner thickened corners result from the adjoining peristome cells; in those that have a complete inner peristome of sixteen teeth (Orthotrichum striatum) the inner membranes of the peristome cells are more or less evenly thickened. It must be noted that in most of the species of this genus the stomata are distributed across the whole surface of the outer capsule wall below the operculum, and the surrounding cells have a tassel-like prolongation that partly close the stomata.
