Austromaera

description: Austromaera n.gen.
Type species. Maera mastersii Haswell, 1879a.
Diagnosis. Head with anteroventral slit; eye ovate. Antenna 1 accessory flagellum short, significantly less than half length of primary flagellum. Mandible palp article 1 not produced distally; article 3 short, tapering distally; article 2 longer than article 3. Maxilla 1 inner plate with mainly apical setae. Gnathopod 1 coxa anteroventral corner produced, acute. Gnathopod 2 significantly enlarged in male and female; left and right gnathopods symmetrical in male (right slightly bigger than left); palm acute in male and female, male both propodi with well defined corner (greater than 90°), female both propodi with well defined corner (greater than 90°); dactylus with 1 or 2 setae on anterior margin. Pereopods 5–7 dactyli simple. Epimeron 2 posteroventral corner with 1 small spine. Epimeron 3 posterior margin smooth. Uropod 3 rami about 2× peduncle, distally subacute, without apical robust setae; outer ramus 1- articulate. Telson deeply cleft, lobes apically subacute, with robust setae on inner margins, without robust setae on outer margins, without apical robust setae.
Etymology. A combination of the Latin word auster, meaning southern, with the Latin stem Maera.
Species composition. Austromaera mastersii (Haswell, 1879a).
Remarks. Austromaera is part of the large Maera group, in which gnathopod 2 is symmetrical and significantly enlarged in males and females, the palms are acute with well defined corners and the rami of uropod 3 are distally acute or subacute. The main defining characters of the genus are: the weakly produced first article of the mandibular palp and the distally acute margins of the rami of the third uropods. Austromaera is the only member of the Maera complex with such strongly setose inner margins on the telson. It is excluded from Maera and Miramaera because of its ovate eyes, its short accessory flagellum and its weakly produced first mandibular palp article. It is excluded from Maera and Lupimaera because of its sparsely setose gnathopod 2 dactylus. Austromaera occurs in the Maera group, but appears to be most similar to the Indian Ocean species of Zygomaera that apparently have symmetrical second gnathopods. The main difference between these taxa is the telson that is emarginate in the Indian Ocean species. Currently Austromaera is confined to Australian waters.
Distribution. Australia.

description: A field study was conducted to ascertain the amount of protection that mesquite-dominated communities provide to the surface from wind erosion. The dynamics of the locally accelerated evolution of a mesquite/coppice dune landscape and the undetermined spatial dependence of potential erosion by wind from a shear stress partition model were investigated. Sediment transport and dust emission processes are governed by the amount of protection that can be provided by roughness elements. Although shear stress partition models exist that can describe this, their accuracy has only been tested against a limited dataset because instrumentation has previously been unable to provide the necessary measurements. This study combines the use of meteorological towers and surface shear stress measurements with Irwin sensors to measure the partition of shear stress in situ. The surface shear stress within preferentially aligned vegetation (within coppice dune development) exhibited highly skewed distributions, while a more homogenous surface stress was recorded at a site with less developed coppice dunes. Above the vegetation, the logarithmic velocity profile deduced roughness length (based on 10-min averages) exhibited a distinct correlation with compass direction for the site with vegetation preferentially aligned, while the site with more homogenously distributed vegetation showed very little variation in the roughness length. This distribution in roughness length within an area, defines a distribution of a resolved shear stress partitioning model based on these measurements, ultimately providing potential closure to a previously uncorrelated model parameter.
Iron absorption by excised grapevine roots

description: Excised roots from cuttings of Vitis vinifera cv. Verduzzo and of two rootstocks V. berlandieri x V. riparia 420 A and V. berlandieri x V. rupestris 1103 P. were tested for iron absorbed from FeEDTA solutions. Absorption rates decreased with time. At 0-2 °C iron absorption was only 50-60 % inhibited. BPDS, a specific chelator for Fe2+, inhibited almost completely absorption showing that reduction from Fe3+ to Fe2+ was needed both at 30 °C and at 0-2 °C. As pH increased from 5 to 8 absorption rate doubled for the cv. Verduzzo, increased about 5 times for 1103 P. and about 10 times for 420 A. Also the apparent kinetic constants of absorption were very different in the three grapevines: both Vmax and Km were in the order: 1103 P.> Verduzzo > 420 A. The presence of a conspicuous part of not exchangeable absorption apparently not dependent on metabolism and the possibility of characterizing cultivars and rootstocks as to nutritional requirements through ion absorption measurements are discussed. Absorption du fer par les racines coupées de la vigne Des racines coupées de x cv. Verduzzo et des porte-greffes V. berlandieri x V. riparia 420 A et V. berlandieri x V. rupestris 1103 P. ont été étudiées quant au fer absorbé de solutions de FeEDTA. La vitesse d'absorption diminue en fonction du temps. A 0-2 °C l'absorption est inhibée seulement de 50--60 %. Le BPDS, chélant spécifique du Fe2+, inhibe presque complètement l'absorption, ce qui démontre que la réduction Fe3+ -> Fe2+ est nécessaire à 0-2 °C ainsi qu'à 30 °C. Lorsque le pH passe de 5 à 8 la vitesse d'absorption se redouble pour le cv. Verduzzo, elle augmente d'à peu près cinq fois pour le 1103 P. et d'environ dix fois pour le 420 A. Les constantes ciné tiques apparentes de l'absorption sont aussi très différentes pour les trois vignes: Vmax et Km sont toutes les deux de l'ordre de 1103 P. > Verduzzo > 420 A. On discute la présence d'une part remarquable· de l'absorption qui n'est pas échangeable et qui apparemment ne dépend pas du mé tabolisme, ainsi que la possibilité de caractériser les cultivars et les por te-greffes suivant leurs besoins en substances nutritives minérales au moyen de mesurages de l'absorption des ions.

description: The relationships between the total acidity, titratable acidity and pH in grape cluster tissue have been proposed and confirmed. Published data for seven cultivars, eight vineyard locations and eight seasons have been used to demonstrate the general nature of these relationships. A mechanism for the uptake of monovalent metal cations is proposed and its effect on the acidity measures in grapes is shown. Les rapports entre l'acidité total, l'acidité titrable et le pH dans le tissu de raisin Les rapports fondamentaux permettant une prédiction de l'acidité titrable et du pH du tissu et du jus de raisin ont été étudiés. L'influence de quelques substances minérales, en particulier du potassium, sur l'acidité titrable et sur le pH est exposée. Un mécanisme possible de transport dans les baies est discuté. Les relations existantes sont vérifiées à l'aide des analyses déjà publiées réalisées sur baies des cépa­ges Merlot et Cabernet Sauvignon. Des analyses de la pulpe, des pellicules et des rafles des cépages Semillon, Sauvignon blanc, Merlot et Cabernet Sauvignon confirment les rapports discutés. Les valeurs de l'acidité titrable et du pH trouvées pour les jus des cé­pages Riesling, Crouchen et Syrah sont comparées avec les chiffres déjà publiés pour démontrer Je caractère universel des relations existantes.

Estimating duster compactness in Yaghouti grapes
Creators: name: Sepahi, A.
Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2016

description: Cluster compactness of Yaghouti grapes was defined and measured as the percentage of the total volume occupied by the solid volume. The total volume is the solid volume plus the space between the berries. This measure of compactness was used to judge the suitability of other means of estimating compactness. It is concluded that the ratio of the solid volume to the total length of the rachis plus that of its primary laterals is the most suitable estimator of compactness. Beurteilung der Beerendichte bei der Rebsorte Jagbouti Die Beerendichte der Jaghouti-Trauben wurde als der prozentuale Anteil des Festvolumens am Gesamtvolumen der Traube definiert und gemessen. Das Gesamtvolumen ist das Festvolumen (Beeren mit Traubengerüst) und der Zwischenraum zwischen den Weinbeeren. Dieses Maß der Beerendichte wurde dazu verwendet, um die Brauchbarkeit anderer Methoden zur Schätzung der Beerendichte zu beurteilen. Es wurde festgestellt, daß sich der Quotient aus Festvolumen und Gesamtlänge der Traubenachse und der Seitenäste 1. Ordnung für die Schätzung der Beerendichte am besten eignet.

description: Bei 14 Vitis-Arten und -Sorten wurden die Stomata der Blätter gezählt. Hierbei wurde zwischen einzelnen Blattpartien, jungen und ausgewachsenen Blättern sowie Gewächshaus- und Freilandpflanzen unterschieden. • Die Blätter der untersuchten V.-Formen sind als hypostomatisch anzusprechen; d. h. die Stomata liegen ausschließlich auf der Blattunterseite. • Bei ausgewachsenen Blättern von Freilandpflanzen ergeben sich Stomatazahlen, die zwischen 173,6 (V. rupestris) und 349,3/mm2 (V. cinerea) liegen; bei der Mehrzahl der Formen liegt die Stomatafrequenz zwischen 200 und 250/mm2. • Die Stomatafrequenz einzelner Blattpartien ist nur in wenigen Fällen unterschiedlich. • Bei ausgewachsenen Blättern ist bei den V.-vinifera-Sorten eine höhere, bei allen anderen Arten eine geringere Stomatafrequenz festzustellen. • Junge und ausgewachsene Blätter von Freilandpflanzen besitzen in allen Fällen mehr Stomata/mm2 als die entsprechenden Blätter von Gewächshauspflanzen. Stomata frequency of leaves of Vitis species and cultivars The number of stomata per unit leaf area of 14 Vitis species and cultivars were counted, distinguishing between different parts of a leaf, between young and mature leaves and between leaves taken from the greenhouse and from the field. • Leaves of all vines were shown to be hypostomatal, i. e. stomata were located on the lower leaf epidermis only. • Stomatal frequency of adult leaves taken from field-grown plants ranged from 173.6 (V. rupestris) to 349.3 (V. cinerea) per mm2, the majority of species and cultivars indicating a stomatal frequency of 200-250 per mm2. • In most cases there was no difference in the number of stomata per mm2 located near to the central vein, in the middle part of a leaf half or near to the margln of a leaf. • Except of V. vinifera cultivars mature leaves had a smaller number of stomata per mm2 compared to young leaves. • Young and mature leaves of field-grown grapevines had always more stomata per mm2 than corresponding leaves taken from the greenhouse.

description: In the last two decades, numerous organizations have implemented Enterprise Systems (ESs) to create value. Higher education institutions (HEIs) are no exception to follow the trend of implementing ES to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations. However, research about ES in HEIs is still in its infancy stage. Therefore, this study aims to investigate important benefits and factors driving the achievement of ES benefits using a single case study methodology at a large Australian university. The contributions of this study are (1) it provides an in-depth understanding of ES benefits and benefit drivers in the context of HEIs; (2) it provides a taxonomy of ES benefits and benefit drivers for HEIs; (3) it identifies two new ES benefits, five new benefit drivers, and two unique ES benefits in the context of HEIs.

description: The study area, belongs to the Nappe zone of the Sardinian Variscan chain at the NW termination of the Flumendosa antiform. The Monte Grighini Complex is a NW-SE trending metamorphic complex made up of three tectonic units and synkinematic magmatic intrusions that show a section of the deepest portion of the Nappe zone. The tectonic units stacked and folded under lower greenschist and upper amphibolite facies conditions, were finally juxtaposed by a kilometer-wide NW-SE trending dextral transtensive shear zone during the Late Variscan tectonics. The 1:25,000 scale geological map, cross sections and shear zone deformation map illustrate the tectonic and metamorphic setting of the area, resulting from the polyphasic Variscan collisional evolution including early nappe stacking and later strike slip and extensional tectonics coeval with a late Carboniferous magmatism. Deformation structures and metamorphic assemblages recorded by the tectonic units as well as synkinematic intrusions, provide constraints of fundamental importance for the reconstruction of southern Variscan chain tectono-metamorphic history.
Differences observed in the graft compatibility between some cultivars of Muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia Michx.) and European grape (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon).

description: Well-known graft incompatibility between the Muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia MICHX.) and European grape (V. vinifera L.) is easily overcome with the green grafting method. But the results depend greatly on the genotypes of the Muscadine grape used. Typical symptoms of incompatibility appear after one year's growth when V. vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon is grafted on Muscadine varieties like Carlos and Male. Other Muscadine varieties like Yuga and Noble do not show any symptom. These observations rule out the hypothesis that graft incompatibility between Muscadine grape and European grape was due to the existing structural and anatomical differences between these two species. Macroscopical and microscopical examination of the graft union lets us think that the observed symptoms can be related to a translocated incompatibility. The role of a hypothetical grafttransmissible factor is under investigation. Différences observées dans la compatibilité au greffage de quelques variétés de Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia Michx.) avec Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon L'incompatibilité au greffage reconnue depuis longtemps entre la Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia MICHX.) et la vigne européenne (V. vinifera L.) est facilement surmontable par la méthode de la greffe en vert. Mais les résultats varient en fonction de la variété de Muscadine utilisée. Des symptômes typiques d'incompatibilité se manifestent tardivement lorsque V. vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon est greffé sur les variétés de Muscadine Carlos ou Male. A l'opposé, les variétés Yuga et Noble ne manifestent aucun symptôme. Ces observations permettent d'écarter l'hypothèse selon laquelle l 'incompatibilité au greffage entre V. rotundifolia et V. vinifera serait due aux différences anatomiques et structurales qui existent entre ces deux espèces. L'examen macroscopique et microscopique du point de greffe laisse penser que les symptômes observés peuvent être rattachés à une incompatibilité «de translocation». L'hypothèse d'un facteur viral responsable des différences observées d'incompatibilité au greffage est actuellement en cours de vérification.

description: Introduction: Increasing smartphones access has allowed for increasing development and use of smart phone applications (apps). Mobile health interventions have previously relied on voice or text-based short message services (SMS), however, the increasing availability and ease of use of apps has allowed for significant growth of smartphone apps that can be used for health behaviour change. This review considers the current body of knowledge relating to the evaluation of apps for health behaviour change. The aim of this review is to investigate approaches to the evaluation of health apps to identify any current best practice approaches. Method: A systematic review was conducted. Data were collected and analysed in September 2016. Thirty-eight articles were identified and have been included in this review. Results: Articles were published between 2011– 2016, and 36 were reviews or evaluations of apps related to one or more health conditions, the remaining two reported on an investigation of the usability of health apps. Studies investigated apps relating to the following areas: alcohol, asthma, breastfeeding, cancer, depression, diabetes, general health and fitness, headaches, heart disease, HIV, hypertension, iron deficiency/anaemia, low vision, mindfulness, obesity, pain, physical activity, smoking, weight management and women’s health. Conclusion: In order to harness the potential of mobile health apps for behaviour change and health, we need better ways to assess the quality and effectiveness of apps. This review is unable to suggest a single best practice approach to evaluate mobile health apps. Few measures identified in this review included sufficient information or evaluation, leading to potentially incomplete and inaccurate information for consumers seeking the best app for their situation. This is further complicated by a lack of regulation in health promotion generally.

Subjects: classificationCode: 390109
subject: Mathematics and numeracy curriculum and pedagogy

description: The study reported in this paper is a partnership story between an Australian university and a local elementary school. The partnership was embedded in a first-year undergraduate teacher education course and was explicitly focused on mathematics education in the teacher education program. The partnership involved relocating the mathematics teacher education unit to the school and working closely with classroom teachers to teach the unit content to Pre-service Teachers. The focus of the study was on determining the effectiveness of the partnership model for enhancing the mathematical pedagogical content knowledge of first-year Pre-service Teachers. The findings presented in this paper suggest that a university-school partnership model affords a variety of avenues for strengthening mathematics education in initial teacher education programs.

description: The circulating endogenous steroids are transported in the bloodstream. These are bound to a highly specific sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and in lower affinity to proteins such as the corticosteroid-binding protein and albumin in vertebrates, including fish. It is generally believed that the glycoprotein SHBG protects these steroids from rapid metabolic degradation and thus intervenes in its availability at the target tissues. Endocrine disrupters binding to SHBG affect the normal activity of natural steroids. Since xenobiotics are primarily released in the aquatic environment, there is a need to evaluate the binding affinity of xenosteroid mimics on fish SHBG, especially in zebrafish (Danio rerio), a small freshwater fish originating in India and widely employed in ecotoxicology, toxicology, and genetics. In this context, a zebrafish SHBG (zfSHBG) homology model was developed using the human SHBG (hSHBG) receptor structure as template. It was shown that interactions with amino acids Ser-36, Asp-59 and Thr-54 were important for binding affinity. A ligand-based pharmacophore model was also developed for both zfSHBG and hSHBG inhibitors that differentiated binders from non-binders, but also demonstrated structural requirements for zfSHBG and hSHBG ligands. The study provides insights into the mechanism of action of endocrine disruptors in zebrafish as well as providing a useful tool for identifying anthropogenic compounds inhibiting zfSHBG.
Low-column density HVC and IVC gas in the halo of the Milky Way

description: Recent studies of the circumgalactic gaseous environment of the Milky Way have concentrated on the distribution, chemical composition, and physical properties of the most massive neutral gas clouds and the highly-ionized halo absorbers. Relatively little effort has been put so far in exploring the circumgalactic neutral and weakly ionized metal absorbers at low HI column densities. With our work we systematically study the distribution and physical properties of neutral and ionised low-column density gas in the halo of the Milky Way. We combine CaII and NaI absorption line measurements with HI 21-cm emission line data. For some of the sight lines high resolution radio synthesis observations were performed allowing us to study small-scale structures that cannot be resolved with single dish telescopes. In total 177 lines of sight were observed, providing a large absorption-selected data sample for the analysis of IVC and HVC gas in the circumgalactic environment of the Milky Way. The study allows us to compare the observed absorption column density distribution (CDD) of gas in the Milky Way halo with the overall CDD of intervening absorbers towards quasars. The sensitive absorption line analysis enables us to identify the neutral and ionised gaseous structures at low column densities and small angular extent that possibly remain unseen in large 21-cm all-sky surveys. If this gas cover a significant portion of the sky, it possibly has a large influence on the evolution of the Milky Way.

Year: 2024

description: A new set of software applications and libraries for use in the archival and analysis of pulsar astronomical data is introduced. Known collectively as the PSRCHIVE scheme, the code was developed in parallel with a new data storage format called PSRFITS, which is based on the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS). Both of these projects utilise a modular, object-oriented design philosophy. PSRCHIVE is an open source development environment that incorporates an extensive range of C++ object classes and pre-built command line and graphical utilities. These deal transparently and simultaneously with multiple data storage formats, thereby enhancing data portability and facilitating the adoption of the PSRFITS file format. Here, data are stored in a series of modular header-data units that provide flexibility and scope for future expansion. As it is based on FITS, various standard libraries and applications may be used for data input, output, and visualisation. Both PSRCHIVE and PSRFITS are made publicly available to the academic community in the hope that this will promote their widespread use and acceptance.
Energy loss and developing length during reciprocating flow in a pipe with a free-end

description: Direct numerical simulations of reciprocating pipe flow in a straight pipe with a free-end are presented. The range of amplitudes and frequencies studied span the laminar regime and the beginning of transition toward a conditionally turbulent flow. Two primary results are reported: the measurement of the flow development length and the loss of energy, both due to the presence of the free-end. Two regimes of flow are identified with distinct length scales. For low frequencies, the development length scales with the pipe diameter D. However, for higher frequencies, the development length scales with the Stokes layer thickness δ=2ν/ω√. The energy loss is studied by calculating the viscous dissipation function, indicating where energy is lost, and allowing the energy lost due to the presence of the free-end to be isolated. While strong vortices are formed and convected from the exit, most of the energy they dissipate is lost within a few pipe diameters of the exit. It is shown that these trends continue even as the amplitude and frequency are increased so that the flow begins to transition from a laminar toward a turbulent state. Two modes of instability are observed in the Stokes layers near the free-end, one short wavelength mode with a wavelength set by the Stokes layer thickness and the other long wavelength mode with a wavelength set by the amplitude of the oscillatory flow. These modes are related to those observed in the fully developed oscillatory flow.

description: Due to the size of its customer base the video game industry has long been the best-funded proponent of innovative real-time computer graphics. Many advancements in the field of computer graphics, software and hardware, have become cost-effective due to their use in video games, which in turn funded even further research and breakthroughs. Recent changes in the monetization of commercial game engines made their use in less revenue driven institutions affordable and, hence, possible. This allows us, given suitable hardware, to build and run computationally expensive fully interactive real-time visualizations at a fraction of the cost and time. We can thus investigate and explore the data in our virtual reality application far sooner. Additionally, we are able to spend more time to iteratively refine the user interaction as well as the preprocessing of the raw scientific data. We supply our visualization with the output data of ClimEx’ computational run on the SuperMUC. ClimEx is a research project that studies the effects of climate change on meteorological and hydrological extreme events. It features a multitude of climate-relevant variables and observes the time span between 1950 and 2100. For our use case we chose to compare three different precipitation events. Each event consists of simulated 60 hours of rainfall data anteceding a potential 100-year flood, which is a flood event that has an annual exceedance rate of 1%. The first event draws from historical data and represents the rain leading up to the 1999 Pentecost flood. We compare these data with two computer generated prospective events, which take place in 2060 and 2081, respectively. Since we wish to gain knowledge on strong local extrema as well as the comprehensive overall trend of the attributes, we chose to display the data in virtual reality. The virtually unlimited number of perspectives and points of view simplify investigating and understanding the three-dimensional data. We are also able to place the observer at the center of the data and empower them to interact with and steer the visualization in intuitive ways. By utilizing a tool like virtual reality, we are able to create an immersive, interactive and engaging user experience, which further facilitates the user’s ability to focus on the visual display and extract information from the displayed data. This allows users, especially non-expert users, to grasp the data we present in our visualization with less effort. In our paper we present the necessary steps to create an immersive virtual reality 3D visualization from raw scientific data based on our use case. This entails several aspects of pre-processing, a simple, suitable user interface as well as our solutions to the challenges we encountered.

description: Precise segmentation of organs and tumors plays a crucial role in clinical applications. It is a challenging task due to the irregular shapes and various sizes of organs and tumors as well as the significant class imbalance between the anatomy of interest (AOI) and the background region. In addition, in most situation tumors and normal organs often overlap in medical images, but current approaches fail to delineate both tumors and organs accurately. To tackle such challenges, we propose a position-guided deformable UNet, namely PGD-UNet, which exploits the spatial deformation capabilities of deformable convolution to deal with the geometric transformation of both organs and tumors. Position information is explicitly encoded into the network to enhance the capabilities of deformation. Meanwhile, we introduce a new pooling module to preserve position information lost in conventional max-pooling operation. Besides, due to unclear boundaries between different structures as well as the subjectivity of annotations, labels are not necessarily accurate for medical image segmentation tasks. It may cause the overfitting of the trained network due to label noise. To address this issue, we formulate a novel loss function to suppress the influence of potential label noise on the training process. Our method was evaluated on two challenging segmentation tasks and achieved very promising segmentation accuracy in both tasks.

description: The concentrations of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAHs) were determined for several stations in the Elizabeth River. Thirteen PNAHs of the sixteen EPA priority pollutant PNAHs were present in the particulate fraction. The concentrations ranged from 10.0 ng/1 to 1000 ng/1. Ten of the sixteen EPA priority pollutant PNAH were present in the dissolved phase. Concentrations ranged from 2.0 ng/1 to 100 ng/1.

The environmental PNAHs concentrations were used to determine test concentrations. Bioassays were conducted to determine the effects of indigenous concentrations of seven predominant PNAHs (0.01 mg/1 to 2.4 mg/1 concentrations) on the fecundity of Acartia tonsa (calanoid Copepoda). The indigenous concentrations were found to be toxic to laboratory reared Acartia tonsa. Analysis of variance and covariance indicated significant (0.05 level) effects of PNAH concentrations at the ng/1 liter on fecundity. However, no significant effect was observed at picagrams per liter levels.

description: Conventional DNN training paradigms typically rely on one training set and one validation set, obtained by partitioning an annotated dataset available for the purpose of training, namely gross training set, in a certain way. The training set is used for training the model while the validation set is used to estimate the generalization performance of the trained model as the training proceeds to avoid over-fitting. There exist two major issues in this training paradigm. Firstly, the validation set may hardly guarantee an unbiased estimate of the generalization performance due to potential mismatching with the test data. Secondly, training a DNN corresponds to solve a complex optimization problem, which is prone to getting trapped into inferior local optima and thus leads to the undesired training result. To address these issues, we propose a novel DNN training framework. It generates multiple pairs of training and validation sets from the gross training set via random splitting, trains a DNN model of a pre-specified network structure on each pair while making the useful knowledge (e.g., promising network parameters) obtained from one model training process to be transferred to other model training processes via multi-task optimization (i.e., a recently emerging optimization paradigm), and outputs the best one, among all trained models, which has the overall best performance across the validation sets from all pairs. The knowledge transfer mechanism featured in this new framework can not only enhance training effectiveness by helping the model training process to escape from local optima but also improve on generalization performance via implicit regularization imposed on one model training process from other model training processes. We implement the proposed framework, parallelize the implementation on a GPU cluster, and apply it to train several widely used DNN models. Experimental results on several classification datasets of different nature demonstrate the superiority of the proposed framework over the conventional training paradigm.

description: In this article, we seek to develop a framework of childcare vulnerabilities experienced by children, parents and providers engaged in the formal, unregulated childcare market. Informed by vulnerability theorists who examine care work within the context of dependency and power relations, we explore the extent to which notions of vulnerability have been considered in childcare research. Five types of vulnerability from the literature-physical, emotional, economic, legal and racial- A re mapped onto the experiences of children, parents and providers. We conceptualise an understanding of vulnerability as it relates to unregulated childcare, showing how vulnerability in this sector is compound, interrelated and structural, creating specific challenges.
EXAMINING DIURNAL CORTISOL FUNCTIONING AND NEGATIVE AFFECTIVITY AS PREDICTORS OF CHILDHOOD DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS: A GENETICALLY INFORMED ADOPTION DESIGN

description: Childhood depressive symptoms are transmitted through genetic and environmental pathways influenced by various factors, including prenatal distress, diurnal cortisol functioning (e.g., diurnal cortisol slope and variability), and negative affectivity. Further, the development of negative affectivity, diurnal cortisol functioning, and depressive symptoms are buffered by higher parental warmth. Using cohort I of the Early Growth and Development Study (N = 361), a US-based sample of children adopted into non-related families at birth, I tested 4 hypotheses. (1) Heritable risk for psychopathology and prenatal maternal distress would separately predict depressive symptoms at child age 8. (2) Diurnal cortisol variability at age 6 will moderate the relationship between diurnal cortisol slope at age 6 on depressive symptoms at age 8. (3) Negative affectivity at age 6 would mediate the relationship between heritable risk for psychopathology, heritable risk for negative affectivity and prenatal maternal distress on depressive symptoms at age 8. (4) Parental warmth at child age 27 months through age 4.5 years would buffer the risk heritable and prenatal factors have on the development of diurnal cortisol variability and negative affectivity at age 6. And, parental warmth at child age 7 will buffer the development of depressive symptoms at age 8. Because depressive symptoms at child age 8 were zero-inflated, I used a negative binomial hurdle model to predict any depressive symptoms as well as severity of depressive symptoms if any were endorsed. The results of the study did not support the specific hypotheses of the current study. However, higher parental warmth (B = -.012, SE = .005, p = .030) predicted fewer depressive symptoms among children who endorsed any depressive symptoms.

description: Basal or apical parts of grapevine cuttings as well as entire cuttings were treated with hot water at a temperature of 50 °c for 30 min. Root initiation was delayed following HWT of entire cuttings and treatment of the basal parts only. HWT of the apical parts of cuttings resulted in a marked stimulating effect on time of sprouting, root initiation, mean number and mass of roots. Einfluß der Warmwasserbehandlung auf Austrieb und Wurzelbildung von Rebenstecklingen Dreiaugenstecklinge der Rebsorten Salt Creek (Ramsey) und Jacquez (mittleres und unteres Auge geblendet) wurden 30 min lang partiell oder gänzlich in 50 °c warmes Wasser getaucht. Wurden die ganzen Stecklinge oder der basale Pol behandelt, so war die Wurzelbildung gegenüber der Kontrolle verzögert. Durch Warmwasserbehandlung des apikalen Pols wurden dagegen der Austrieb und die Bewurzelung beträchtlich beschleunigt und die Anzahl und Masse der Wurzeln vermehrt.

description: Mit Hilfe der GC-MS-Kopplung und der „Schnüffeltechnik" gelang es erstmals, in Aromaextrakten von Trauben und Weinen interspezifischer Neuzuchten die für die häufig auftretende Erdbeernote verantwortlichen Verbindungen, 2,5-Dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-3-furanon und 2,5-Dimethyl-4-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-3-furanon, zu identifizieren und damit die Voraussetzung für eine objektive Früherkennung dieses Fremdtones auf der Sämlingsstufe zu schaffen. Beide Verbindungen konnten weder in V.-vinifera-Sorten noch in den zur Verfügung stehenden V.-riparia-Klonen nachgewiesen werden. Dagegen kommen sie in Trauben einer anderen amerikanischen Wildart, nämlich V. labrusca, und der V.-labrusca-Kultursorte Niagara vor. Aufgrund dieser Ergebnisse folgern wir, daß die als Muttersorte von Castor angegebene Sorte Vi 5861 nicht durch Selbstung von Oberlin 595 entstanden ist, sondern eine Kreuzung von Oberlin 595 mit einer V. labrusca-Erbgut enthaltenden Rebsorte darstellt. Off-flavour compounds in the berry and wine aroma of grapevine hybrids 1. The strawberry-like flavour Using GC-MS together with the "sniffing-technique", the compounds responsible for the strawberry-like off-flavour - 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-3- furanone and 2,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-3-furanone - were identified for the first time in berries and wines of interspecific grapevine breedings. Thus, an objective diagnosis method can be developed in order to recognize these off-flavour compounds at the stage of the seedling. Both compounds could be detected neither in Vitis vinifera varieties nor in the various V. riparia clones examined. On the other hand, they are present in berries of the American wild species V. labrusca and in the V. labrusca cv. Niagara. From these results it is concluded that the cv. Vi 5861, the mother of the newbreeding Castor, did not originate by seif pollination from the cv. Oberlin 595, but is a crossing from Oberlin 595 and a V. labrusca descendant.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. 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.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
