description: Chrysis orientalis Guérin-Méneville, 1842
(Figs 49 A–49E)
Chrysis orientalis Guérin-Méneville, 1842: 146. Holotype ♂; Indonesia: Sumatra (MSNG) (examined). Dalla Torre 1892: 82 (cat., India); du Buysson 1896b: 477 (key, descr., India: Chhattisgarh: Raipur; Maharashtra: Poona [= Pune]; Mysore); Bingham 1903: 439 (key), 485–486 (descr., India: Uttar Pradesh: Allahabad, Delhi; Gujarat: Deesa; Poona [= Pune] to Karnataka: Mysore; Central Provinces); Bingham 1908: 349 (cat., West Bengal: Calcutta [= Kolkata], spread generally throughout India, but not as yet recorded from Assam); Nurse 1903: 42 (descr., Deesa); Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 446 (cat., India, oculata group); Thakkar & Parikh 2018: 22 (cat., Gujarat).
Chrysis (Hexachrysis) orientalis: Mocsáry 1889: 592–593 (descr., India Orientalis); Bischoff 1913: 67 (cat., India).
Chrysis (Pyria) stilboides ssp. duplomaculata Linsenmaier, 1968: 123. Holotype ♀; India: Gujarat: Deesa (NHMUK) (syn- onymised by Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 446).
Material examined. 1 ♀, Tamil Nadu: Pondicherry [= Puducherry], without further data (NHMW); 1 ♂, 5 ♀, Tamil Nadu, Coimbatore, without further data (NHMW); 1 ♀, Karikal, without further data (NHMW); 1 ♀, Tamil Nadu: Nilgiri Hills, Moyar Camp, 2600 feet, iv.1954, leg. Nathan (NHMW); 2 ♂, Odisha, Bhubaneswar, without further data (NHMW); 1 ♀, Tamil Nadu, Coimbatore, ix.1951, leg. Nathan (sub Chrysis stilboides duplomaculata MNLU).
Distribution. India (Chhattisgarh; Delhi; Gujarat; Karnataka; Maharashtra; Odisha; Uttar Pradesh; West Bengal; Central Provinces (locality not specified); Western India (locality not specified); Indonesia (Sumatra) (Guérin- Méneville 1842).
Remarks. All examined Indian specimens are conspecific with Chrysis duplomaculata Linsenmaier, 1968, synonymised by Kimsey & Bohart (1991). The holotype male of Chrysis orientalis Guérin-Méneville has a different structure of mesopleuron, with episternal sulcus differently shaped and smaller toothed subtended area; it is also different for colouration (which is uniform blue-green, with dark blue on median area of mesoscutum) and sparser metasomal punctation. More material from the Oriental region is needed to evaluate the variability Chrysis orientalis and if Chrysis duplomaculata is a valid species.

Computer use in the performing arts: A current evaluation
Creators: name: Joss, Caroline Hubbard
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Computers can be applied to the unique needs of the non-profit performing arts organization, for tasks such as contribution tracking, box-office, subscriptions, and donor management. Non-profit arts organizations have turned to the use of the computer because of growth in size, increasing amounts of information that needs to be organized and made accessible, and a necessity for control of financial areas, and marketing concerns. At the Theater Communications Group's 1980 conference on 'Computers and the Performing Arts,' three reasons for lack of computerization in arts organizations were illustrated: high costs, lack of information on computerization, and unavailability of software applications. The Arts Income Management System (AIMS was created, as a result of this conference, in order to meet the need for adequate and specific software. In this thesis, AIMS was evaluated to determine if it has succeeded as it was originally intended.

description: The ICPSR Metadata Librarian recently conducted a survey of both internal and external users of the ICPSR website in order to determine what was missing from ICPSR metadata that would enhance the user's experience, what was redundant or unnecessary that either confuses or detracts from the user's experience, and what practices and policies are contributing to incomplete information or inconsistencies across the archive. This was timed with the ongoing development of a new ICPSR infrastructure for data. The first part of the survey consisted of a focus group of 5 internal users. They participated in 5 tasks interacting with the ICPSR website ranging in specificity and difficulty. The second part of the survey included recruiting external users through references and ICPSR's membership list. More than 40 users were selected and 18 completed the survey. Questions in the survey were based off of feedback from the focus group, the learning objectives, and previous research. The survey was designed on SurveyMonkey and distributed through email. The results were analyzed to determine most frequent tasks, most useful features, and most important fields to the users. Feedback was also solicited to determine whether to implement new fields and new field functionality in ICPSR's newly built infrastructure. Many of the ideas presented by the users have been implemented with success. This experience was valuable to not only metadata, but the organization as a whole. When building a new infrastructure for data, it is important to involve the community to collect insights from those individuals the infrastructure would affect the most. Building our tools with the involvement of our core communities enhances relationships and much-needed trust (confidence) in our archives.

description: Dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC) are a minor subpopulation of the murine epidermis and express the T cell receptor (TCR) $\gamma\delta$-chains. In order to study the function of DETC cells, several DETC cell lines were characterized for activation by cytokines, by stimulation with mitogens, and by stimulation via the TCR/CD3 complex. These cell lines could only be stimulated with IL-2 alone and IL-4 plus IL-1; stimulation with Con A or anti-CD3 required the costimulatory action of IL-1. These DETC cell lines resembled Th1 T cells in that their proliferative responses were mediated by the autocrine production of IL-2, but resembled Th2 cells because they required IL-1 as a costimulatory factor. The production of IL-1 by keratinocytes in the epidermis may play a critical role in the activation of DETC cells in vivo.

description: Cell cycle is an important and complex biological system. A lot of efforts have been put in understanding cell cycle arrest for its vital role in clinical therapies. The cell-cycle-arrest outcomes upon stimulation are complicated. The response could be stringent or relaxed, and graded or quantized. A model fully addressing various cell-cycle-arrest outcomes is to be developed. Here, we developed a mathematical model of cell cycle control incorporating distinct characteristics of various cell-cycle-arrest outcomes. The model can simulate two typical properties of cell cycle arrest, quantized and graded. We also characterized the inheritable quiescence and refractory state, which were crucial in long-term response of the population. Then, we monitored cells respond to multiple stimulations, and the results indicated that cells responded to stimulations with small interval did not induce significantly sustained cell cycle arrest as the existence of refractory state. Our work will benefit fundamental research and make efforts to predicting outcomes of clinical therapeutics.

Chrysis (Tetrachrysis) lepcha Cameron, 1902a: 206. Holotype ♀, India: Khasia [= Meghalaya, Khasia Hills?] (NMNH) (syn- onymised by Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 447).
Distribution. India (Meghalaya: Khasia).
Remarks. According to Kimsey & Bohart (1991) Chrysis parallela is widespread in Indo-Malaysian region, from India to Taiwan and Indonesia, nevertheless this distribution includes records of Ch. assamensis (here synonymised with Ch. rani Mocsáry, 1913) and Ch. lepcha (type not examined). Any Indian specimen of Ch. parallela was examined and the occurrence of Chrysis parallela in India should be better evaluated. In fact, all Indian specimens identified as Ch. parallela from several collections (e.g. at HMNH and MNLU), belong to different species, and the synonymy of Ch. lepcha should be confirmed.

title: Die österreichische Filmförderung 1981 - 2010
Creators: name: Villa, Josef
Year: 2013

description: Die österreichische Filmförderung ist eine historisch „junge“ Institution mit klarem Bezug auf das Medium „Film“, welche ab 1981 Strategien und passende Metriken entwickeln musste, um einen effiziente Förderrahmen zu schaffen, der sowohl die künstlerische und ökonomische Entwicklung der österreichischen Filmproduktion durch Beratung, Vermarktung und finanzielle Mittel unterstützt. Der Nachteil der österreichischen Filmschaffenden im europäischen Umfeld lag in der Struktur der österreichischen Filmwirtschaft, nämlich in der Existenz von vielen kleinen, unterkapitalisierten Unternehmen – diese wohl mit hohem Kreativitätspotential – und dem zu Folge der Mangel an österreichischen „big player“ in der europäischen Filmindustrie. Diese Magisterarbeit beschreibt und untersucht die Entwicklung der österreichischen Filmförderung ab 1981, also dem Jahr, wo der Österreichische Filmförderungsfonds (heute Österreichisches Filminstitut) als zentraler Impulsgeber für die österreichische Filmwirtschaft gegründet wurde. Diese Institution wurde als juristische Person des öffentlichen Rechts konstituiert und seine bundesweite Förderungstätigkeit basierte auf dem Filmförderungsgesetz vom November 1980 und den nachfolgenden Novellierungen. Neben dem Österreichischen Filminstitut existieren Institute der Länder zur Film-förderungen und darüber hinaus ein Film/Fernseh-Abkommen mit dem ORF. Diese gesamthafte Analyse evaluiert alle 17 Filmförderungs-Institutionen des Bundes und der Länder in Hinblick auf ihre gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen, auch jene der EU, ihre Entscheidungsstrukturen – also der jeweilige institutionelle Aufbau ihrer Gremien – des Weiteren ihre Förderstrategien und daraus abgeleiteten Evaluierungsmodelle, ihre relevanten Wirkungsanalysen sowie Prüfungsempfehlungen (Rechnungshof oder begleitende Kontrolle) und den daraus resultierende Novellierungen und Adaptierungen. Eine neue, wichtige Funktion in der österreichischen Filmförderung wurde mit der Gründung des Österreichischen Filmförderungsfonds geschaffen: die Beratung für kreative Filmschaffende in Hinblick auf die Betriebswirtschaft der Filmproduktion: 107 Standardisierung bei Projektkalkulationen, Orientierung durch Kennzahlen und Benchmarks, Beratung bei komplexen Förderungskonstellationen. Zusammenfassend bilden also die Themenfelder der Entwicklung, die gesetzlichen Aufträge und das politische Umfeld, die gesamthafte Struktur der Filmförderung (natürlich mit Schwerpunkt auf das Österreichische Filminstitut) und deren Effekte als Ableitung statistischer Erfolgsparameter den Umfang dieser Arbeit. Ergänzt wird diese Arbeit mit einer dynamischen Analyse der Veränderungen in Hinblick auf Strategiewechsel, Aufgabenerweiterung oder Reduktion, und Brüche in den ökonomischen oder künstlerischen Evaluationsmodellen für die Förderungen.
The Safehaven program: The Allied response to Nazi post-defeat planning, 1944-1948
Creators: name: Masurovsky, Marc Jean
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The Safehaven program aimed at eradicating the holdovers of Nazism in the neutral countries, as a precondition for resuming normal trade relations with the Allied powers. The most important Safehaven negotiations involved Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, Portugal, and Argentina. Sharp disagreements between the United States and Great Britain over post-war planning interfered with the proper execution of Safehaven at the diplomatic level. Basic agreements were signed with the neutrals between 1946 and 1948 which did not satisfy the initial objectives of Safehaven, but which ensured the resumption of commercial relations between the Allies and the neutrals. Primary sources for this thesis were derived from American government records at the National Archives in Washington, DC, and in Suitland, MD.

Data Engagement for the Data-Hesitant Librarian
Creators: name: Glusker, Ann
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: In today’s library settings, there is an increasing focus on data skills and data literacy. In fact, many library job seekers, particularly librarians, consider data skills a ticket to success. With technical advances in cataloging, metadata and systems librarianship, library involvement with research data management, growing sophistication and scope of library assessment work, and analytical enhancements in the fields of digital humanities and digital literacies, data-related competencies are more central to librarians’ activities than ever. Library leaders now encourage widespread acquisition of data skills in order to have a corps of data-savvy librarians. But what happens to the data-hesitant librarian in this scenario? While data literacy is seen as a universal good and universally attainable, data-related training often assumes competency levels that are above the “rank beginner” status advertised. Librarians may not feel that data applies to their discipline or work flow. They may also self-identify as “non-data people”, often with attendant shame around that fact. This means that for any push towards data-savviness, there are both librarians who resist, whatever the reasons for their hesitation, and librarians who want to engage but have barriers/uncertainty around beginning. The questions included in this presentation will be: how to engage these librarians (and staff) with data? Can we? Must we? Should we? An outline of critical data literacy will be followed by suggestions for how to engage “non-data” librarians with data training and activities in the library setting. The issues of how feasible/desirable it is to expect universal data-savviness, and how to empower librarians to choose their own approaches to the issue, both in the workplace and in their career planning, will be addressed. Finally we’ll discuss training approaches and resources. Attendees will leave with ideas for implementing inclusive data initiatives in their settings.
Marriott's Lincolnshire Theatre: The influence of corporate ownership on theatre management

description: Marriott's Lincolnshire Theatre twenty-five miles north of Chicago, Illinois, is owned and produced by the Marriott Corporation, a Fortune 500 Corporation. The theatre is an unlikely alliance of two separate entities with possibly irreconcilable differences. For this reason, the theatre was examined to learn whether it can be managed by the Marriott Corporation and still maintain its artistic integrity. Research was done mostly by gleaning information from books on success in business and from talking with artistic personnel associated with Marriott's Lincolnshire Theatre. Based on the research, this theatre is managed by the Marriott Corporation and still maintains its artistic integrity. It is difficult to know whether this situation can be emulated elsewhere or whether its success is a unique occurrence. It may be possible that this type of management success could be transferred to other arts organizations and to other major corporations.

description: Quadrotor UAVs are known to be affected by parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. These effects are addressed by designing efficient control methods for the fully-actuated and under-actuated subsystems of the quadrotor. A finite time fractional order sliding mode controller with integral error action (FISMC) is designed for the fully actuated subsystem to guarantee that all the states converged to the desired performances in short time. Moreover, a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is proposed to approximate the uncertain nonlinear function and the input gains. For the underactuated subsystem, a back-stepping fast-terminal sliding mode control (BFSMC) is developed to accomplished robust position tracking and produce the desired pitch and roll angles in finite time. Furthermore, a RBFNN is used to identify the lumped disturbances/uncertainties associated with the under-actuated subsystem without the knowledge of their bounds. With the aid of Lyapunov candidate function, the closed loop system has been guaranteed to converge to a small compact set in finite time. The efficacy of the proposed method is confirmed by comparing with other methods.

title: Staat, Sozialismus und Entwicklung in Tanzania
Creators: name: Latschbacher, Peter
Year: 2013

description: In „Staat, Sozialismus und Entwicklung in Tanzania“ möchte ich den Versuch, in Tanzania mittels staatlicher Institutionen ein selbstbestimmtes Leben für die gesamte Bevölkerung zu ermöglichen, untersuchen. Zu diesem Zweck werden in meiner Diplomarbeit im ersten Kapitel die Begriffe Ideologie, Sozialismus, afrikanischer Sozialismus, Staat, Entwicklung und Entwicklungsstaat behandelt, um zu zeigen, wie diese im weiteren Verlauf von mir gesehen und verwendet werden. Danach stelle ich im zweiten Kapitel die Grundprinzipien von Ujamaa, der dem Sozialismus in Tanzania zugrundeliegenden Ideologie, vor. Geistiger Urheber von Ujamaa war hauptsächlich Julius Nyerere. Es wird dargelegt, wie Entwicklung bewertet wurde, welche Grundsätze die Wirtschaft hätten leiten sollen und wie das wirtschaftliche Zusammenleben organisiert hätte werden sollen. Die Geschichte des Versuches einer praktischen Umsetzung dieses Projektes bildet den Bezugspunkt des dritten Kapitels der Diplomarbeit. Vor allem der Umstand, dass ein egalitärer Sozialismus innerhalb eines (kolonial beeinflussten) staatlichen Rahmens realisiert werden solle, liegt hier in meinem Fokus. Es zeigt sich, dass ein auf Wirtschaftswachstum und Entwicklung ausgerichteter Staat, durch in seinem Inneren und in seinem Umfeld bestehende Sachzwänge, nicht in der Lage ist, eine autonome Selbstorganisation der Gesellschaft, nach ihren eigenen Vorgaben, zu gewährleisten, oder gar zu akzeptieren, obwohl dies eigentlich ein proklamiertes Ziel des tanzanischen Sozialismus gewesen wäre. Im vierten Kapitel wird auf der Basis meiner vorangegangenen Argumente herausgearbeitet, dass in und durch einen Staat, sei dieser kapitalistisch, sozialistisch, oder kommunistisch, keine selbstbestimmte und freie Gesellschaft erschaffen werden kann.

 Proteins are the molecular work horse of the cell and carry out many functional and structural tasks. In depth knowledge of the complement of all proteins in a cell or tissue, called the proteome, can provide valuable insights into cellular biology in health and disease. To study the proteome in high throughput, liquid-chromatography – tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is most-often the platform of choice. The result of an LC-MS/MS experiment is a large set of peptide spectra that require specific bioinformatics software to be identified. However, the confident identification of peptide spectra is not always straightforward, especially when novel challenging proteomics workflows are used. Examples of such workflows are data independent acquisition (DIA), proteogenomics, metaproteomics, biopeptidomics, and immunopeptidomics. Fortunately, machine learning (ML) can provide accurate predictions of peptide behavior in LC-MS/MS, allowing more LC-MS/MS data to be used in the identification process, resulting in a higher sensitivity. In this PhD research, the use of ML to enable novel proteomics workflows is investigated in-depth. First, the peptide spectrum predictor MS²PIP is significantly improved and extended to more use-cases. Second, a novel paradigm for the proteome-wide identification of DIA data is proposed and developed. Third, a perspective of the current state of peptide LC-MS/MS behavior predictors is given. Fourth, the MS²PIP spectrum predictor is integrated in a fully data-driven post-processing pipeline, which is subsequently applied on the various challenging proteomics workflows mentioned above. Fifth, preliminary results are shown on a novel modification-aware spectrum predictor. Each of the detailed applications of spectrum prediction for improved identification performance resulted in a more sensitive scoring function leading to more confident peptide identifications. In conclusion, ML proved to be a valuable tool for the identification of peptide mass spectra in challenging proteomics workflows. In the future, where proteomics experiments will become increasingly demanding, ML is expected to take up a central role in proteomics data analysis workflows.

The effects of RO 15-4513 on ethanol-induced taste aversions
Creators: name: Jeffreys, Ronald Dean
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: RO 15-4513 is an imidazobenzodiazepine that has been reported to block a variety of behavioral effects of ethanol. In the present experiments, the effects of RO 15-4513 were assessed on the acquisition of an ethanol-induced conditioned taste aversion. Specifically, rats were given a novel saccharin solution to drink followed by an injection of one of a range of doses of RO 15-4513 (0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg, Experiment 1A, and 2.0 and 3.0 mg/kg, Experiment 1B) and an injection of ethanol (1.75 g/kg). RO 15-4513 failed to block the acquisition of the ethanol-induced taste aversion. Possible reasons for this failure were discussed.
Uncorked 3D: Visualizing Taste

description: This will be the third talk in what has become a series of lightning talks based upon the the author and her spouse’s data-driven quest to drink better wine. Since 2007, my husband and I have been recording our wine tasting notes and associated metadata (grape variety, vintage, origin, producer, etc.) in order to create a dataset that has enabled us to better understand our preferences and make more informed choices when confronted with new bottles at stores or restaurants. Building upon the previous two lightning talks, this talk will explore the depth of the data to a greater degree. While the talk in Australia was adequate, the author realized during later discussions that the two-dimensional format of a slide-driven talk wasn’t conveying the depth and breath of information that needed to be considered when thinking about wine. It was there that the idea began to grow for a revised talk that would focus on an interactive web-based data visualization, giving my audience the chance to turn the data over for themselves while I shared the insights we had found most helpful. Rendering the data in this way will both allow this talk to explore more of the complexity present in the data as well as provide my audience the chance to dig into information for themselves and hopefully find new insights that they can share with me.

description: Common Workflow Language (CWL) is an essential technology for describing biomedical analysis
 workflows used by many organizations. Embracing CWL as a workflow standard enables reproducible
 research. This ensures that scientific work can be understood, independently verified, and built upon in
 future work. Improvements to CWL benefit multiple organizations and workflow systems that use the
 CWL standard. For these organizations, there is an ongoing need to train new users and develop new
 workflows with CWL. CWL faces barriers to wider use and adoption due to a perceived learning curve and
 usability challenges. Our proposal outlines a plan to help reduce those barriers through community
 engagement and improved usability. It covers documentation updates, community feedback aggregation
 and response, specification development, and tool creation. We propose funding Peter Amstutz to lead
 this effort alongside the PI Sarah Zaranek and a "community engineer." Peter is a leader in the
 development of CWL, "cwltool", "cwl-ex" and Arvados. He has demonstrated the ability to serve the
 needs of the community at large. He is familiar with "wearing many hats", including developer, technical
 writer, community relations, and project evangelist. Our overarching goals is to make it easier for users
 to create CWL workflows and run them at scale using any conformant CWL platform (drawing heavily on
 examples from the open-source Arvados platform developed by Curii.) Throughout the effort we we will
 use real world public domain (CC0) data and workflows from the global Personal Genome Projects where
 we have contributed since 2005.
title: Das Gesicht der Selbstdarstellung
Creators: name: Breitfellner, Regina
Year: 2013

description: Die Kulturtechnik des Schminkens, tausende von Jahren alt, war von Beginn an in gesellschaftliche und kulturelle Rituale und Ordnungen eingebettet. Sie beinhaltet auch heute noch unzählige nonverbale Codes die von Generation zu Generation weiter gegeben, aber auch verändert und in Frage gestellt werden. So kann Make-up (oder die Absenz desselben) richtig 'gelesen' Auskunft geben über soziale Zugehörigkeiten, gesellschaftliche Machtverhältnisse und individuelle Selbstbildnisse. All das ist in unserem Gesicht zu lesen, unserem wichtigsten Erkennungsmerkmal, das gleichzeitig zentral für unser Selbstverständnis als Individuum ist. In der Geschichte des Bewegtbildes nimmt es von Anfang an eine zentrale Position ein und suggeriert in den Fernmedien eine unausweichliche Nähe. Es dauert nicht lange bis die Kosmetikindustrie das Potential darin erkennt und eine kreative, vor allem aber geschäftliche Symbiose eingeht. So spielt Make-up immer auch eine gestalterische Rolle in den verschiedenen Epochen der Filmgeschichte (dies wird ausführlicher betrachtet). Das Gesicht wird dabei selbst immer mehr zur Leinwand für (Konsum-) Trends, zu einem strategisch platzierten Träger unterschiedlichster Botschaften. Schon in den frühen 1990ern finden sich online unter den CamGirls direkte Vorläuferinnen zu heutigen YouTube-Akteurinnen, die durch ein ganz ähnliches Selbstverständnis verbunden sind. Verschiedene Reality-TV-Formate (vor allem Makeover-Sendungen) bieten einen wichtigen Nährboden für die Entwicklung von Make-up Tutorials. Theorien zu BigBrother-Stars und deren Nutzerinnen helfen bei der Beschreibung der Beziehung zwischen den Akteurinnen und ihren Zuschauerinnen. Die filmanalytische Betrachtung von Make-up Tutorials wird gefolgt vom Versuch einer Unterteilung des Genres und einer Benennung der beobachtbaren Unterkategorien. Interessanter ist jedoch die Untersuchung der Interaktion zwischen Akteurinnen und Zuschauerinnen, die auf vielen verschiedenen Wegen stattfindet. Je nach Plattform (Blog, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) wird anders und anderes kommuniziert. Die Videokommentare werden anhand eines Beispiels eingehend betrachtet. Sie geben Aufschluss über das Verhältnis sowie das Selbstverständnis der Beteiligten und stellen einen Kommunikationsraum her, in dem Selbstdarstellung praktiziert, aber auch selbstbezogen reflektiert wird, in dem (pop-) kulturelle Praktiken zur Schau gestellt, aber auch neu verhandelt werden. Ein Blick auf die Kommentare macht deutlich wie wichtig das Gefühl der Gemeinschaft und die Möglichkeiten des direkten und unmittelbaren Austausches sind. Die Arbeit enthält Exkurse zu folgenden Themen: Ein feministischer Blick auf feminine beautification, Das sichtbare Gesicht und die (Ohn-) Macht, YouTube-Attraktionen, Dekorative Kosmetik und der Einstieg von Frauen in die Erwerbstätigkeit – Parallelen zwischen damals und heute, sowie Beauty Gurus am Wort.
