description: A key challenge in inventory management is to identify policies that optimally replenish inventory from multiple suppliers. To solve such optimization problems, inventory managers need to decide what quantities to order from each supplier, given the net inventory and outstanding orders, so that the expected backlogging, holding, and sourcing costs are jointly minimized. Inventory management problems have been studied extensively for over 60 years, and yet even basic dual-sourcing problems, in which orders from an expensive supplier arrive faster than orders from a regular supplier, remain intractable in their general form. In addition, there is an emerging need to develop proactive, scalable optimization algorithms that can adjust their recommendations to dynamic demand shifts in a timely fashion. In this work, we approach dual sourcing from a neural network--based optimization lens and incorporate information on inventory dynamics and its replenishment (i.e., control) policies into the design of recurrent neural networks. We show that the proposed neural network controllers (NNCs) are able to learn near-optimal policies of commonly used instances within a few minutes of CPU time on a regular personal computer. To demonstrate the versatility of NNCs, we also show that they can control inventory dynamics with empirical, non-stationary demand distributions that are challenging to tackle effectively using alternative, state-of-the-art approaches. Our work shows that high-quality solutions of complex inventory management problems with non-stationary demand can be obtained with deep neural-network optimization approaches that directly account for inventory dynamics in their optimization process. As such, our research opens up new ways of efficiently managing complex, high-dimensional inventory dynamics.

Improving Our Understanding of the Implications of Unanticipated or Unclear Prenatal Genetic Screening Results

description: Prenatal genetic screening for trisomies 21 and 18 is offered in many jurisdictions in the form of multiple marker screening, incorporating information on patient characteristics, biochemical markers, and nuchal translucency measurement, where a pocket of fluid located behind the fetal neck is measured. Although screening results are generally straightforward to interpret, unanticipated or unclear results can occur and evidence regarding their clinical implications is limited, hindering patient counselling. The aim of this doctoral thesis was to address this evidence gap by investigating associations between these unanticipated or unclear results and adverse perinatal outcomes. To achieve this, three population-based retrospective cohort studies were conducted using data from Ontario's prescribed perinatal registry, Better Outcomes Registry & Network. The first study investigated the association between all levels of nuchal translucency and chromosomal abnormalities and found an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities among pregnancies with measurements below the widely used threshold of 3.5 mm at which follow-up investigations are offered. The second study further evaluated the association between nuchal translucency and adverse perinatal outcomes, where pregnancies with increased measurements were less likely to result in a live birth, even when all identified chromosomal abnormalities were excluded. The third study examined the association between multiple marker screening results positive for both trisomies 21 and 18 at once, or 'double-positive results', and adverse perinatal outcomes. The study found an increased risk of preterm birth overall, and when all diagnosed chromosomal abnormalities were excluded. These findings that the unanticipated or unclear results evaluated were associated with an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes have important implications for clinical practice and policy, for example, in decisions about thresholds for offering follow-up investigations, the types of services offered, and counselling for pregnant patients. These studies will also inform future research to further understand the implications of all possible prenatal genetic screening results and reduce uncertainty in prenatal genetic screening.

"Am I Trans Enough?": A Hermeneutical Phenomenological Investigation into Transgender Gender Identity

description: Previous medical and sociological studies have attempted to explain how transgender people develop their identity, while at the same time, feminist and sociology scholars discussed socially constructed nature of gender. Yet, in arguing that there is no essential characteristic of one's gender, these studies offer unsatisfying answers as to how trans people come to know their gender. To explore this phenomenon, a series of interviews were conducted with six transgender and non-binary adults in Ottawa, guided by hermeneutical phenomenology. The results show that knowing one's gender identity is exploring one's desires guided by feeling of joy. These findings, and a subsequent analysis on a praxis of joy, suggest a way to validate transgender identities as something "real," while also avoiding reification of gender categories, by centring desires as core structure of gender identity.

description: Background: Several studies have shown that both respiratory and cardiac motion can be extracted from the Pilot Tone (PT) signal successfully. However, most of these studies were performed in healthy volunteers. In addition, validating PT using ECG as a reference can be problematic because both PT and ECG tend to be unreliable in patients with arrhythmias. Purpose: We seek to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the cardiac and respiratory signals extracted from PT in patients clinically referred for cardiovascular MRI with the image-derived signals as the reference. Methods: Twenty-three patients were scanned on a 1.5 T scanner using balanced steady-state free-precession real-time (RT) cine sequence. The PT signal was generated by a built-in PT transmitter integrated within the body array coil. For comparison, commercial ECG and BioMatrix (BM) respiratory sensor signals were synchronously recorded. Results: The respiratory motion extracted from PT correlated positively with the image-derived respiratory signal in all cases and showed a stronger correlation (absolute coefficient: 0.95+-0.09) than BM (0.72+-0.24). For the cardiac signal, PT trigger jitter (standard deviation of PT trigger locations relative to ECG triggers) ranged from 6.6 to 83.3 ms, with a median of 21.8 ms. The mean absolute difference between the PT and corresponding ECG cardiac cycle duration was less than 5% of the averaged ECG RR interval for 21 out of 23 patients. Overall, the performance of PT-based trigger extraction was comparable to that of ECG. We did not observe significant linear dependence (p>0.28) of PT delay and PT jitter on the patients' BMI or cardiac cycle duration. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the potential of PT to monitor both respiratory and cardiac motion in patients clinically referred for cardiovascular MRI.
Imperialist critique in Anglo-American science fiction

description: In recent years, Anglo-American science fiction has been read as a form of literature that is complicit in the imperialist project—as “empire’s propaganda arm, its R&D lab”, as Gerry Canavan (2012) has noted. Although a number of influential ‘imperial turn’ SF scholars (John Rieder, Istvan Csicsery-Ronay, Andy Sawyer, Jessica Langer, David Seed) have acutely diagnosed the subgenre in this way, they have largely failed to identify and examine the longstanding tradition of incisive imperialist critique that also exists in this field. From another angle, critics who do not regard Anglo-American SF as ultimately complicit in colonialism (Adriana Craciun, Patrick Parrinder, W. Warren Wagar, Rob Latham, David Ian Paddy) tend to see only vaguely defined and historically transient imperialist contexts in this literature; or they read imperialism as a secondary context, a “hidden skeleton,” as one critic puts it, not worthy of further consideration. This thesis seeks to address the line of enquiry opened up in this critical gap, by re-examining certain key works of Anglo-American SF in relation to specific imperialist contexts. In chapter one, I look at Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) in 18th- and early-19th-century mercantile imperial contexts, from the exploits of the British Royal Navy to contemporary discourses of ‘classic’ colonial racism. In chapter two, H. G. Wells’s The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896) and The War of The Worlds (1897) are read as critiques of Victorian-era Social Darwinist imperialism, insofar as the latter is manifested in the morphological social ordering and biological racism put forward by both scientists and political imperialists. Chapter three focuses on J. G. Ballard’s early trio of eco-disaster novels, The Drowned World (1962), The Drought (1965), and The Crystal World (1966), in the context of biopolitical imperialism, and the strict measurements, boundary markers and time-codes of eugenics that are so central to this model. And the final chapter begins by revisiting two more Ballard novels, Crash (1973) and Hello America (1980), by way of postwar American techno-spectacle imperialism, as defined by Edward Said and Jean Baudrillard. It concludes with a (focused and concise) survey of post-war American SF, considering this, too, in terms of American techno-spectacle imperialism, and in turn, reinforcing the overarching argument that there is a rich tradition of imperialist critique to be found in the sub-genre of Anglo-American SF.
The evolution of sociality and antimicrobial defences in wasps

description: Cuticular antimicrobial compounds are a front-line defence against disease that restrict the growth and transmission of pathogens within groups of social insects. I explore the hypothesis that these compounds were integral to both the evolution of early social aggregations and the development of more complex social systems. The strength of cuticular antimicrobials was assayed from wasp species representing a range of group sizes and life history traits. Wasps were chosen because they are a basal group within social Hymenoptera and present species with a range of social structures. Across species, nesting substrate type and levels of social complexity were strongly correlated with the strength of antimicrobial compounds. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that these compounds arose first in solitary, ground-dwelling species. Across colonies of a social species, traits varied with respect to how they influenced the strength of antimicrobial defences; group size and genetic diversity had strong but opposing correlations with antimicrobial strength. Conversely, microbial load was low across colonies and did not appear to vary with antimicrobial strength. These data suggest antimicrobial defences in wasps first evolved as a defence against soil-borne pathogens. As group sizes increased the pressure of disease risk selected for increasingly strong antimicrobial compounds. Low microbial associations indicate that these compounds are highly effective in social species however correlations with group size and genetic diversity suggest that disease risk remains a major selective pressure on maximum attainable group sizes. I propose a model of the relationship between group size, genetic diversity and the risk of disease that may be used to predict the largest stable group sizes. These findings illuminate both the historical and contemporary selective pressure that disease risk has placed on cuticular antimicrobial compounds. Further, these data provide unique insights and research avenues for both bio-prospecting and social insects in general.

description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an irreversible lung disease, characterized by chronic inflammation which compromises immune responses and facilitates acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD). One notable issue is that some patients continue to experience frequent AECOPD despite receiving the maximum available therapies. Although there is a substantial gap in our understanding of the underlying factors contributing to AECOPD, it is well-established that patients with AECOPD and humoral immunodeficiency are predisposed to similar recurrent, respiratory infections; indicating that humoral immune (HI) dysfunction may underlie AECOPD. We hypothesize that HI dysfunction, defined by impaired antibody production to a polysaccharide vaccine, is present in a subset of COPD patients and associated with higher AECOPD frequency. This thesis aimed to assess the relationship between HI dysfunction in patients with COPD and mean rate of AECOPD in the past year, using a Typhim Vi (polysaccharide) vaccine response test to measure HI function. A prospective cohort study of COPD patients with at least moderate airflow obstruction (FEV1<80% predicted) was conducted. Pre- and post-immunization anti-Typhi Vi IgG titers were quantified in serum samples by the VaccZyme™ Salmonella anti-Typhi Vi IgG ELISA kit in 44 patients. HI dysfunction was observed in a subset of COPD patients, specifically those with frequent AECOPD in the past year. Age, quality of life scores, smoking history, cellular components and immunoglobulin levels were not associated with HI dysfunction in COPD. Overall, the findings suggest that the presence of HI dysfunction, defined by Typhoid vaccine response, may be an innovative biomarker in clinical practice to phenotype individuals at high-risk of AECOPD.

description: A digital soil map of Quintana Roo was compiled at a 50 m pixel resolution using a geomorphopedological approach to produce a map that reflects a synoptic view of the geomorphology, environmental conditions and associated soils. Initially, it was developed using a geopedological approach and then converted to a digital map. The map was derived from soil-forming factors using mathematical methods to infer information in places where data were not available. Its compilation included three stages; the first two follow the geopedological approach that consists of a synthesis of data from the characterization of the geomorphological landscapes (vertical dissection, karst geomorphometrics, failures, geology) and soils, and the third stage incorporating environmental components (climate and vegetation) and related variables through various methods of statistical analysis (cluster, principal components and classification analysis) to obtain the pattern of soil distribution and to develop a model for the digital soil map of the study area.

description: Davydov--Yetter (DY) cohomology classifies infinitesimal deformations of the monoidal structure of tensor functors and tensor categories. In this paper we provide new tools for the computation of the DY cohomology for finite tensor categories and exact functors between them. The key point is to realize DY cohomology as relative Ext groups. In particular, we prove that the infinitesimal deformations of a tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ are classified by the 3-rd self-extension group of the tensor unit of the Drinfeld center $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C})$ relative to $\mathcal{C}$. From classical results on relative homological algebra we get a long exact sequence for DY cohomology and a Yoneda product for which we provide an explicit formula. Using the long exact sequence and duality, we obtain a dimension formula for the cohomology groups based solely on relatively projective covers which reduces a problem in homological algebra to a problem in representation theory, e.g. calculating the space of invariants in a certain object of $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C})$. Thanks to the Yoneda product, we also develop a method for computing DY cocycles explicitly which are needed for applications in the deformation theory. We apply these tools to the category of finite-dimensional modules over a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra. We study in detail the examples of the bosonization of exterior algebras $Λ\mathbb{C}^k \rtimes \mathbb{C}[\mathbb{Z}_2]$, the Taft algebras and the small quantum group of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ at a root of unity.

description: The methods of spectral geometry are useful for investigating the metric aspects of noncommutative geometry and in these contexts require extensive use of pseudo-differential operators. In a foundational paper, Connes showed that, by direct analogy with the theory of pseudo-differential operators on $\mathbb R^n$, one may derive a similar pseudo-differential calculus on noncommutative $n$ tori $\mathbb T_θ^n$, and with the development of this calculus came many results concerning the local differential geometry of noncommutative tori for $n=2,4$, as shown in the groundbreaking paper in which the Gauss--Bonnet theorem on $\mathbb T_θ^2$ is proved and later papers. Certain details of the proofs in the original derivation of the calculus were omitted, such as the evaluation of oscillatory integrals, so we make it the objective of this paper to fill in all the details. After reproving in more detail the formula for the symbol of the adjoint of a pseudo-differential operator and the formula for the symbol of a product of two pseudo-differential operators, we define the corresponding analog of Sobolev spaces for which we prove the Sobolev and Rellich lemmas. We then extend these results to finitely generated projective right modules over the noncommutative $n$ torus.

description: We study the dynamic behaviour of solutions to a fourth-order quasilinear degenerate parabolic equation for large times arising in fluid dynamical applications. The degeneracy occurs both with respect to the unknown and with respect to the sum of its first and third spatial derivative. The modelling equation appears as a thin-film limit for the interface separating two immiscible viscous fluid films confined between two cylinders rotating at small relative angular velocity. More precisely, the fluid occupying the layer next to the outer cylinder is considered to be Newtonian, i.e. it has constant viscosity, while we assume that the layer next to the inner cylinder is filled by a shear-thinning power-law fluid.
 Using energy methods, Fourier analysis and suitable regularity estimates for higher-order parabolic equations, we prove global existence of positive weak solutions in the case of low initial energy. Moreover, these global solutions are polynomially stable, in the sense that interfaces which are initially close to a circle, converge at rate $1/t^{1/β}$ for some $β> 0$ to a circle, as time tends to infinity.
 In addition, we provide regularity estimates for general nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations of fourth order.

Reading between the lines: a narratological approach to the Deir Alla Inscription Combination I

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Two separate schools of thought, historicism and narratology have struggled to communicate with one another since their first intellectual collision in the 20th Century. Fifty years later, and both fields have advanced into schools of thought that share interdisciplinary methodologies. Narratology has newly identified internal structures, revealing complex and universal processes to the creation and transmission of narrative. However, narrative is not a new concept, but rather has been a method of cultural preservation, representation and transmission for centuries. This study endeavours to facilitate a conversation between narratology and ancient text criticism. Due to the scope of narratology, the focus of this study has been narrowed to how time and temporality intersect with narrative to create and communicate meaning. To bridge the gap between the two disciplines, this study assesses modern narrative time theory and disrupts it accordingly so that it may be applied to the ancient. The revised ancient narrative methodology is applied to Deir Alla Combination I. A short inscription with a narrative structure, the Deir Alla plaster text has been primarily analysed for its linguistic, epigraphic and archaeological implications. The aim of this study is to test the applicability and productivity of integrating narratology and ancient text criticism, and offer a new perspective on the Deir Alla text.
Polarization swings in blazars

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We present a model of blazar variability that can both reproduce smooth large polarization angle swings, and at the same time allow for the seemingly random behaviour of synchrotron fluxes, polarization fraction and, occasionally, $π$/2 polarization jumps. We associate blazar flaring activity with a jet carrying helical magnetic fields and propagating along a variable direction (and possibly with a changing bulk Lorentz factor). The model predicts that for various jet trajectories (i) EVPA can experience large smooth temporal variations while at the same time polarization fraction ($Π$) can be highly variable; (ii) $Π\sim 0$ near sudden EVPA jumps of 90$^{\circ}$, but can also remain constant for large, smoother EVPA swings; (iii) the total angle of EVPA rotation can be arbitrary large; (iv) intensity I is usually maximal at points of fastest EVPA changes, but can have a minimum. Thus, even for a regular, deterministic motion of a steadily emitting jet the observed properties can vary in a non-monotonic and/or seemingly stochastic way. Intrinsic fluctuations of the emissivity will further complicated the intensity profiles, but are expected to preserve the polarization structure.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: From measuring the annual parallax of water masers over one and a half years with VERA, we present the trigonometric parallax and corresponding distance of another newly identified water maser source in the region of IRAS 20231+3440 as $π=0.611\pm0.022$ mas and $D=1.64\pm0.06$ kpc respectively. We measured the absolute proper motions of all the newly detected maser spots (30 spots) and presented two pictures describing the possible spatial distribution of the water maser as the morphology marks out an arc of masers whose average proper motion velocity in the jet direction was 14.26 km s$^{-1}$. As revealed by the ALLWISE composite image, and by applying the colour-colour method of YSO identification and classification on photometric archived data, we identified the driving source of the north maser group to be a class I, young stellar object. To further probe the nature of the progenitor, we used the momentum rate maximum value (1.2$\times$10$^{-4}$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ km s$^{-1}$) of the outflow to satisfy that the progenitor under investigation is a low mass young stellar object concurrently forming alongside an intermediate-mass YSO $\sim 60,000$ au ($\sim 37$ arcsecs) away from it.

description: The Taylor resolution is almost never minimal for powers of monomial ideals, even in the square-free case. In this paper we introduce a smaller resolution for each power of any square-free monomial ideal, which depends only on the number of generators of the ideal. More precisely, for every pair of fixed integers $r$ and $q$, we construct a simplicial complex that supports a free resolution of the $r$-th power of any square-free monomial ideal with $q$ generators. The resulting resolution is significantly smaller than the Taylor resolution, and is minimal for special cases. Considering the relations on the generators of a fixed ideal allows us to further shrink these resolutions. We also introduce a class of ideals called "extremal ideals", and show that the Betti numbers of powers of all square-free monomial ideals are bounded by Betti numbers of powers of extremal ideals. Our results lead to upper bounds on Betti numbers of powers of any square-free monomial ideal that greatly improve the binomial bounds offered by the Taylor resolution.

description: On the largest scales, the Universe consists of voids and filaments making up the cosmic web. Galaxy clusters are located at the knots in this web, at the intersection of filaments. Clusters grow through accretion from these large-scale filaments and by mergers with other clusters and groups. In a growing number of galaxy clusters, elongated Mpc-size radio sources have been found, so-called radio relics. These relics are thought to trace relativistic electrons in the intracluster plasma accelerated by low-Mach number collisionless shocks generated by cluster-cluster merger events. A long-standing problem is how low-Mach number shocks can accelerate electrons so efficiently to explain the observed radio relics. Here we report on the discovery of a direct connection between a radio relic and a radio galaxy in the merging galaxy cluster Abell 3411-3412. This discovery indicates that fossil relativistic electrons from active galactic nuclei are re-accelerated at cluster shocks. It also implies that radio galaxies play an important role in governing the non-thermal component of the intracluster medium in merging clusters.

description: Fractal dimension (FD) estimation has become most popular in the field of image analysis and applications; especially estimating the roughness and smoothness of complex objects. In this present investigation, we are considering three most popular methods in the controlled images acquisition experimental setup for eight colored fabrics of the same texture, material property, and illumination. The concept of previous work and the results obtained by this ground truth experiment were discussed to indicate whether FD might be a worth useful metric for the study of color images with self-similarity, such as textures! Interestingly, we found ambiguous FD results here and tried to explain such phenomenon in relation to the development of CIE-based human perception model as texture perception are well associated with the viewing parameters and observer that perceives the image in terms of spatial distribution of color intensity.

description: Linear and nonlinear optical properties of low dimensional nanostructures have attracted a large interest in the scientific community as tools to probe the strong confinement of the electrons and for possible applications in optoelectronic devices. In particular it has been shown that the linear optical response of carbon nanotubes [Science 308, 838 (2005)] and graphene nanoribbons [Nat. Comm. 5, 4253 (2014)] is dominated by bounded electron-hole pairs, the excitons. The role of excitons in linear response has been widely studied, but still little is known on their effect on nonlinear susceptibilities. Using a recently developed methodology [Phys. Rev. B 88, 235113 (2013)] based on well-established ab-initio many-body perturbation theory approaches, we find that quasiparticle shifts and excitonic effects significantly modify the third-harmonic generation in carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons. For both systems the net effect of many-body effects is to reduce the intensity of the main peak in the independent particle spectrum and redistribute the spectral weight among several excitonic resonances.
On Ozaki's theorem realizing prescribed $p$-groups as $p$-class tower groups

description: We give a streamlined and effective proof of Ozaki's theorem that any finite $p$-group $Γ$ is the Galois group of the $p$-Hilbert class field tower of some number field $\rm F$. Our work is inspired by Ozaki's and applies in broader circumstances. While his theorem is in the totally complex setting, we obtain the result in any mixed signature setting for which there exists a number field ${\rm k}_0$ with class number prime to $p$. We construct ${\rm F}/{\rm k}_0$ by a sequence of ${\mathbb Z}/p$-extensions ramified only at finite tame primes and also give explicit bounds on $[{\rm F}:{\rm k}_0]$ and the number of ramified primes of ${\rm F}/{\rm k}_0$ in terms of $\# Γ$.

description: This paper generalizes the notion of sufficiency for estimation problems beyond maximum likelihood. In particular, we consider estimation problems based on Jones et al. and Basu et al. likelihood functions that are popular among distance-based robust inference methods. We first characterize the probability distributions that always have a fixed number of sufficient statistics (independent of sample size) with respect to these likelihood functions. These distributions are power-law extensions of the usual exponential family and contain Student distributions as a special case. We then extend the notion of minimal sufficient statistics and compute it for these power-law families. Finally, we establish a Rao-Blackwell-type theorem for finding the best estimators for a power-law family. This helps us establish Cramér-Rao-type lower bounds for power-law families.

description: [transcription] Monsieur A Pise ce 29 novembre 1754

La bonté que vous avez eu, Monsieur, de m'offrir votre entremise pour faire venir une lettre du célèbre Monsieur Ludwig de Leipzig m'a encouragé d'en joindre une seconde à celle que j'ai envoyée il y a quelques semaines. Il pourrait arriver que pour une plus grande facilité Monsieur Ludwig voulut vous remette pour moi la réponse à ma demande et en ce cas je vous prie de me l'envoyer ici, mais en même temps je vous conjure absolument de me donner avis des frais que vous ferez et de ceux que vous avez faits sur mon compte pour l'affranchissement. Cela diminuera le déplaisir que j'éprouve quand je suis dans la nécessité d'occasionner quelqu'embarras à mes amis.

On a érigé dans l'Université de Naples depuis peu une chaire de botanique et le premier professeur, qui a été élu est il signore dottore Nicola Branucci. c'est un médecin qui est fort mon ami et qui a beaucoup de capacité et d'envie de faire fleurir dans sa patrie la science des plantes. Je vous l'offre, Monsieur, pour correspondant, si cela vous fait plaisir comme je l'ai offert [fol. 41 v] à Monsieur Ludwig pour modérer les frais de la poste. Je l'ai conseillé de remettre les lettres qu'il voudra vous écrire au Minsitre ou résident du roi de Naples à Venise qui pourra avoir soin de les pousser jusqu'à Vérone. Si vous voudrez lui écrire, après la première adresse à la personne al Illustrissimo Signore Nicola Branucci professore di Botanica nell'universita di Napoli. Vous aurez la bonté d'en ajouter une autre extérieur à Sua eccelenza Il Signor duca di Losada somigliere di S.M. il ré di Napoli.

Je vous prie d'embrasser de ma part Monsieur Moreni, pour qui je conserve beaucoup d'estime. J'ai eu quelqu'attention à lui faire plaisir pendant sa demeure à Florence et assurément je ne l'ai point encouragé à s'empaqueter dans un froc. Mon envie était de le retenir en Toscane, mais il n'a pas été possible de lui trouver un bon emploi. Il pourrait me faire le plaisir dans l'été prochain de me rassembler gli ossi des meilleures pêches dont on jouit à Vérone et de me les faire parvenir à Parme, avant la moitié d'octobre parceque je compte d'y faire un tour dans l'automne. Je fais mille très humbles compliments à Monsieur le marquis et je suis avec le respect le plus sincère,

Monsieur,

Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur

Cerati
