description: While deep models have proved successful in learning rich knowledge from massive well-annotated data, they may pose a privacy leakage risk in practical deployment. It is necessary to find an effective trade-off between high utility and strong privacy. In this work, we propose a discriminative-generative distillation approach to learn privacy-preserving deep models. Our key idea is taking models as bridge to distill knowledge from private data and then transfer it to learn a student network via two streams. First, discriminative stream trains a baseline classifier on private data and an ensemble of teachers on multiple disjoint private subsets, respectively. Then, generative stream takes the classifier as a fixed discriminator and trains a generator in a data-free manner. After that, the generator is used to generate massive synthetic data which are further applied to train a variational autoencoder (VAE). Among these synthetic data, a few of them are fed into the teacher ensemble to query labels via differentially private aggregation, while most of them are embedded to the trained VAE for reconstructing synthetic data. Finally, a semi-supervised student learning is performed to simultaneously handle two tasks: knowledge transfer from the teachers with distillation on few privately labeled synthetic data, and knowledge enhancement with tangent-normal adversarial regularization on many triples of reconstructed synthetic data. In this way, our approach can control query cost over private data and mitigate accuracy degradation in a unified manner, leading to a privacy-preserving student model. Extensive experiments and analysis clearly show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Transgender Pictures. Subkultur und Herr von Eden
Creators: name: Bergmann, Ulrike
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2009

description: Transgender Pictures. Subculture and Herr von Eden The portrayal of transgender, of images against heteronormativity, challenges the canon. Transgender is perceived not as a movement from one sex to another but as a sphere of representation in order to dissolve a binary conception of sex and gender. Ulrike Bergermann presents photographs by Daniel Josefsohn, shot for the label Herr von Eden, which transgress this conception. She questions their potential for resistance between subcultural and commercial photography. As a mixture of upper class and gender bender, they also reconstruct the topography of the subcultural. With respect of the debate on the canon, Bergermann argues, the aim is not the establishment of queer characteristics, but the inclusion of a problem which itself puts the canon into question.

Kerr black holes with self-interacting scalar hair: hairier but not heavier

description: The maximal ADM mass for (mini-)boson stars (BSs) -- gravitating solitons of Einstein's gravity minimally coupled to a free, complex, mass $μ$, Klein-Gordon field -- is $M_{\rm ADM}^{\rm max}\sim M_{Pl}^2/μ$. Adding quartic self-interactions to the scalar field theory, described by the Lagrangian $\mathcal{L}_I=λ|Ψ|^4$, the maximal ADM mass becomes $M_{\rm ADM}^{\rm max}\sim \sqrtλM_{Pl}^3/μ^2$. Thus, for mini-BSs, astrophysically interesting masses require ultra-light scalar fields, whereas self-interacting BSs can reach such values for bosonic particles with Standard Model range masses. We investigate how these same self-interactions affect Kerr black holes with scalar hair (KBHsSH) [1], which can be regarded as (spinning) BSs in stationary equilibrium with a central horizon. Remarkably, whereas the ADM mass scales in the same way as for BSs, the \textit{horizon mass} $M_H$ does not increases with the coupling $λ$, and, for fixed $μ$, it is maximized at the "Hod point", corresponding to the extremal Kerr black hole obtained in the vanishing hair limit. This mass is always $M_{\rm H}^{\rm max }\sim M_{\rm Pl}^2/μ$. Thus, introducing these self-interactions, the black hole spacetimes may become considerably "hairier" but the trapped regions cannot become "heavier". We present evidence this observation also holds in a model with $\mathcal{L}_I= β|Ψ|^6-λ|Ψ|^4$; if it extends to \textit{general} scalar field models, KBHsSH with astrophysically interesting horizon masses \textit{require} ultra-light scalar fields. Their existence, therefore, would be a smoking gun for such (beyond the Standard Model) particles.
NCATE: helping or hurting prospective teachers

description: The National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) sets standards dictating what prospective teachers should be able to know and do. Democracy, one of the founding principles of the United States, is a national ideal as well as a goal indicated for many schools of education. Since NCATE has significant control over what prospective teachers learn, a question concerns whether the organization help students prepare for teaching within a democratic context. In this thesis, writings on democracy and education from John Dewey are analyzed. Then NCATE's own literature on how to create highly qualified teachers is compared to the democratic ideal. Finally a position is offered on what can further help schools of education and pre-service teachers work towards a democratic ideal in light of NCATE.

description: Paradoxic Scopophilia. Perception and Gender Construction in Early Erotic Cinema Canonical theory such as the theory of male/female gaze or Lacanian picture theory should be reviewed in connection with early cinema, especially erotic cinema, in order to check their formation. Therefore Barbara Jenner analyzes an early erotic film made in Austria for an exclusively male public: “Baden verboten” (1906/07; “No bathing”). She argues that a construction of the gaze in the first instance, which allows for an identification between camera and viewer, following a realist tradition in painting. When the plot changes from a voyeuristic looking-at to seduction, the viewer is invited to relate to the inner-diegetic beholder, a change that already points the attentive observer to different modes of constructing the gaze.

description: Barbara Paul After the Canon is before the Canon? Recent Queer-feminist Debates in Art and Art History Combining theoretical as well as artistic contributions to the function of the canon in art history, the article argues for a self-critical evaluation of traditional as well as queer-feminist canon formation. Using examples of contemporary art such as Mary Kelly’s 2005 installation “Love Songs”, Zwelethu Mthethwa’s photo-series “Ticket to the Other Side” from 2003 or Destiny Deacon’s work “Last Laugh” from 2004, Paul focuses on the visual deconstruction of different kinds of canons. She also critically takes into account proposals for a new “feminist canon”.

description: Anja Zimmermann “Women’s Art”: On the History of a Research Question Since its beginnings, art history has had a surprisingly strong interest in “women’s art”. From Vasari through the establishment of the academic discipline of “art history” in the nineteenth century up to today’s coffee-table books, female artists have always seemed to require some extra explanation. The article argues that this research was inspired less by a genuine interest in the creative power of actual female artists than the attempt to establish a rigid canon that excludes women. The text focuses on the specific effects of art historical writing on the development of an art historical canon in general.

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: Background: The coupling of the last nucleon with configurations in the ground state of the even-even core is known to augment the single quasiparticle fragmentation pattern. In a recent experimental study by Yordanov \emph{et al.} the values of the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments of the $11/2^-$ state in a long chain of Cd isotopes were found to follow a simple trend which we try to explain by means of incorporating long-range correlations in the ground state. Purpose: Our purpose is to study the influence of the ground-state correlations (GSC) on the magnetic moments and compare our results with the data for the odd-A Cd isotopes. Method: In order to evaluate if the additional correlations have bearing on the magnetic moments we employ an extension to the quasiparticle-phonon model (QPM) which takes into account quasiparticle$\otimes$phonon configurations in the ground state of the even-even core to the structure of the odd-A nucleus wave function. Results: It is shown that the values for the magnetic moments which the applied QPM extension yields deviate further from the Schmidt values. The latter is in agreement with the measured values for the Cd isotopes. Conclusions: The GSC exert significant influence on the magnetic dipole moments and reveal a potential for reproducing the experimental values for the studied cadmium isotopes.

description: We present a new solar flux atlas with the aim to understand wavelength precision and accuracy in solar benchmark data. The atlas covers the wavelength range 405--2300 nm and was observed at the Institut für Astrophysik, Göttingen (IAG) with a Fourier Transform Spectrograph. In contrast to other FTS atlases, the entire visible wavelength range was observed simultaneously using only one spectrograph setting. We compare the wavelength solution of the new atlas to the Kitt Peak solar flux atlases and to the HARPS frequency-comb calibrated solar atlas. Comparison reveals systematics in the two Kitt Peak FTS atlases resulting from their wavelength scale construction, and shows consistency between the IAG and the HARPS atlas. We conclude that the IAG atlas is precise and accurate on the order of $\pm 10$ m s$^{-1}$ in the wavelength range 405--1065 nm while the Kitt Peak atlases show deviations as large as several ten to 100 m s$^{-1}$. We determine absolute convective blueshift across the spectrum from the IAG atlas and report slight differences relative to results from the Kitt Peak atlas that we attribute to the differences between wavelength scales. We conclude that benchmark solar data with accurate wavelength solution are crucial to better understand the effect of convection on stellar RV measurements, which is one of the main limitations of Doppler spectroscopy at m s$^{-1}$ precision.

Lesen im Staub: Marguerite Duras' Césarée im Rahmen der Kanondebatte

Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2009

description: Edith Futscher Reading in the Dust: Marguerite Duras’ Césarée within the Debate on Canon Duras’ short film is analyzed as a model of remembrance without envisioning. In rereading Racine’s Bérénice (1670), who himself converted an episode of Roman history into a Baroque tragedy, Duras reinforces the literary canon while atomizing the tragedy. She does so by establishing references to different layers of time and objects of visual culture, which is analyzed in Benjamin’s terms. Images of illegibility, hieroglyphs, reflections, and black screen provide insight into a specific opaqueness of history. A forgotten part of history (or “herstory”) is focused in order not to fill in the blank but to expose it, to read it. This exposure of gaps might be a possible and critical way of dealing with the canon.

description: These lectures explain that comparisons between experiment and theory can expose the impact of running couplings and masses on hadron observables and thereby aid materially in charting the momentum dependence of the interaction that underlies strong-interaction dynamics. The series begins with a primer on continuum QCD, which introduces some of the basic ideas necessary in order to understand the use of Schwinger functions as a nonperturbative tool in hadron physics. It continues with a discussion of confinement and dynamical symmetry breaking (DCSB) in the Standard Model, and the impact of these phenomena on our understanding of condensates, the parton structure of hadrons, and the pion electromagnetic form factor. The final lecture treats the problem of grand unification; namely, the contemporary use of Schwinger functions as a symmetry-preserving tool for the unified explanation and prediction of the properties of both mesons and baryons. It reveals that DCSB drives the formation of diquark clusters in baryons and sketches a picture of baryons as bound-states with Borromean character. Planned experiments are capable of validating the perspectives outlined in these lectures.

description: Specifically focusing on the landscape of abstractive text summarization, as opposed to extractive techniques, this survey presents a comprehensive overview, delving into state-of-the-art techniques, prevailing challenges, and prospective research directions. We categorize the techniques into traditional sequence-to-sequence models, pre-trained large language models, reinforcement learning, hierarchical methods, and multi-modal summarization. Unlike prior works that did not examine complexities, scalability and comparisons of techniques in detail, this review takes a comprehensive approach encompassing state-of-the-art methods, challenges, solutions, comparisons, limitations and charts out future improvements - providing researchers an extensive overview to advance abstractive summarization research. We provide vital comparison tables across techniques categorized - offering insights into model complexity, scalability and appropriate applications. The paper highlights challenges such as inadequate meaning representation, factual consistency, controllable text summarization, cross-lingual summarization, and evaluation metrics, among others. Solutions leveraging knowledge incorporation and other innovative strategies are proposed to address these challenges. The paper concludes by highlighting emerging research areas like factual inconsistency, domain-specific, cross-lingual, multilingual, and long-document summarization, as well as handling noisy data. Our objective is to provide researchers and practitioners with a structured overview of the domain, enabling them to better understand the current landscape and identify potential areas for further research and improvement.

Year: 2009

description: Rachel Mader Introduction - Undecided – Paradoxes surrounding the Hype of Feminism in Art and Culture In recent years, one of the most striking phenomena in discussions of feminism has been the undecided and even oppositional valuation of the achievements of this movement. This diagnosis can be found in society in general as well as in art, where it has very specific modes of appearance. It is precisely these different moments and situations that this issue of FrauenKunstWissenschaft examines by studying certain examples. The aim is not to dissolve the paradoxes found, but rather to name them precisely and situate them within a broader cultural, social, and historical context. It is with reference to Joan Scott’s analysis of French feminism Only Paradoxes to Offer (1996) that we consider the figure of the paradox as a basic criterion of debates about gender issues today. Based on this diagnosis, we plead for continued controversial discussions, as this is the only way for feminism to remain vital and effective.

Known Radio Pulsars Do Not Contribute to the Galactic Center Gamma-Ray Excess

description: Observations using the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) have found a significant gamma-ray excess surrounding the center of the Milky Way (GC). One possible interpretation of this excess invokes gamma-ray emission from an undiscovered population of either young or recycled pulsars densely clustered throughout the inner kiloparsec of the Milky Way. While these systems, by construction, have individual fluxes that lie below the point source sensitivity of the Fermi-LAT, they may already be observed in multiwavelength observations. Notably the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) catalog of radio pulsars includes 270 sources observed in the inner 10 degrees around the GC. We calculate the gamma-ray emission observed from these 270 sources and obtain three key results: (1) point source searches in the GC region produce a plethora of highly significant gamma-ray "hotspots", compared to searches far from the Galactic plane, (2) there is no statistical correlation between the positions of these gamma-ray hotspots and the locations of ATNF pulsars, and (3) the spectrum of the most statistically significant gamma-ray hotspots is substantially softer than the spectrum of the GC gamma-ray excess. These results place strong constraints on models where young pulsars produce the majority of the gamma-ray excess, and disfavor some models where millisecond pulsars produce the gamma-ray excess.

description: High-quality nonmagnetic half-Heusler ScPtBi single crystals were synthesized by a Bi self-flux method. This compound was revealed to be a hole-dominated semimetal with a large low-field magnetoresistance up to 240% at 2K in a magnetic field of 1T. Magneto-transport measurements demonstrated that the large low-field magnetoresistance effect resulted from the coexistence of field-induced metal-semiconductor transition and weak-antilocalization effect. Moreover, Hall measurements indicated that ScPtBi single crystal showed a high mobility over a wide temperature region even up to room temperature (4050 cm2V-1s-1 at 2K - 2016 cm2V-1s-1 at 300K). These findings not only suggest the nonmagnetic ScPtBi semimetal a potential material candidate for applications in high-sensitivity magnetic sensors, but also are of great significance to comprehensively understand the rare-earth based half-Heusler compounds.

Memorializing the backhouse: sanitizing and satirizing outhouses in the American South
Creators: name: Safron, Helena
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines the large-scale adoption of shed-roofed, pit privies into the vernacular architecture and imagined landscape of the American South (1902-1942). Beginning in the early twentieth century, public health campaigns pressed for sanitary changes in the South, particularly sanitary privies. Using the existing vernacular privy architecture, progressive campaigners helped institute material changes that both bolstered and undermined the political power of many southerners. These privy construction efforts peaked during the New Deal. Concurrently, government surveys and photography thrust southern homes and their functional parts into the national spotlight. Outhouses emerged as popular symbols for debasing those with power, such as national leaders, as well as those who had little, particularly rural southerners. By examining the wills that produced these architectural changes, this thesis explores how politics and power manifest on vernacular landscapes and how these political campaigns impacted both the built environment and political identity of the American South.
Double Metric, Generalized Metric and $α'$-Geometry

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We relate the unconstrained `double metric' of the `$α'$-geometry' formulation of double field theory to the constrained generalized metric encoding the spacetime metric and b-field. This is achieved by integrating out auxiliary field components of the double metric in an iterative procedure that induces an infinite number of higher-derivative corrections. As an application we prove that, to first order in $α'$ and to all orders in fields, the deformed gauge transformations are Green-Schwarz-deformed diffeomorphisms. We also prove that to first order in $α'$ the spacetime action encodes precisely the Green-Schwarz deformation with Chern-Simons forms based on the torsionless gravitational connection. This seems to be in tension with suggestions in the literature that T-duality requires a torsionful connection, but we explain that these assertions are ambiguous since actions that use different connections are related by field redefinitions.

description: The article is devoted to investigation of applications of infinite systems of functional equations for modeling of functions with complicated local structure, that are defined in terms of the nega-$\tilde Q$-representation. The infinite system of functional equations $$ f\left(\hat φ^k(x)\right)=\tilde β_{i_{k+1},k+1}+\tilde p_{i_{k+1},k+1}f\left(\hat φ^{k+1}(x)\right), $$ where $k=0,1,...$, $\hat φ$ is a shift operator of the $\tilde Q$-expansion, $x=Δ^{-\tilde Q} _{i_1(x)i_2(x)...i_n(x)...}$, are investigated. It is proved, that the system has the unique solution in the class of determined and bounded on $[0;1]$ functions and continuity of the solution. His analytical presentation is founded. Conditions of its monotonicity and nonmonotonicity, differential, integral properties are studied. Conditions under which the solution of the functional equations system is a distribution function of random variable $η=Δ^{\tilde Q} _{ξ_1ξ_2...ξ_n...}$ with independent $\tilde Q$-symbols are discovered. The results of the article was represented in Fourth all-Ukrainian Scientific Conference of Young Scientists on Mathematics and Physics, Kyiv, April 23-25, 2015 (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/301765100). The investigation was represented at the seminar on fractal analysis of Institute of Mathematics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine on, October 30, 2014 (http://www.imath.kiev.ua/events/index.php?seminarId=21&archiv=1).

Giving faithful testimony: theatrical performance, Mormon women's sexuality, and the Vagina Monologues
Creators: name: Peterfeso, Jill Marie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: This thesis rests at the intersection of women's studies, performance studies, and Mormon studies. Using two case studies - a performance of Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues at Utah Valley State College and a Sunstone magazine conference session known as The Mormon Vagina Monologues - this thesis explores how Mormon women have used the theatrical medium to explore their sexuality. By staging or scripting their sexual lives within a community of actors or playwrights, and for a public audience, these women give faithful testimony - not about their religious faith, but about their sexual selves. This public testimony has generated, but it also has enabled the women to find healing, foster empowerment, and reconstitute community.
Equal but different: questions about rights, statistics and feminist strageties for change

Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur

description: Katy Deepwell Equal but different: Questions about Rights, Statistics, and Feminist Strategies for Change One of the central paradoxes in feminist theory is the apparently double (and simultaneous) claim of feminism(s) for both equality and difference. How can women be both different and equal? How can we measure when, where, and how “equality” has been achieved: Is it a question of how we discuss rights, how we compile statistics, or the methods we apply to assess differences among women and between men and women? These seemingly simple questions about equality and difference appear to pull feminism in different directions, but they actually represent some of the more complex politics, aims, and strategies at work within feminist debates. This essay explores how these debates are manifest in assessments of the current position of women artists, attempts to measure their progress, and what constitutes a certain “avant-garde” contemporary feminist art (although this author takes it as a given that not all art produced by women today is feminist).

description: OBJECTIVE: We aim to extract and denoise the attended speaker in a noisy, two-speaker acoustic scenario, relying on microphone array recordings from a binaural hearing aid, which are complemented with electroencephalography (EEG) recordings to infer the speaker of interest. METHODS: In this study, we propose a modular processing flow that first extracts the two speech envelopes from the microphone recordings, then selects the attended speech envelope based on the EEG, and finally uses this envelope to inform a multi-channel speech separation and denoising algorithm. RESULTS: Strong suppression of interfering (unattended) speech and background noise is achieved, while the attended speech is preserved. Furthermore, EEG-based auditory attention detection (AAD) is shown to be robust to the use of noisy speech signals. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that AAD-based speaker extraction from microphone array recordings is feasible and robust, even in noisy acoustic environments, and without access to the clean speech signals to perform EEG-based AAD. SIGNIFICANCE: Current research on AAD always assumes the availability of the clean speech signals, which limits the applicability in real settings. We have extended this research to detect the attended speaker even when only microphone recordings with noisy speech mixtures are available. This is an enabling ingredient for new brain-computer interfaces and effective filtering schemes in neuro-steered hearing prostheses. Here, we provide a first proof of concept for EEG-informed attended speaker extraction and denoising.

description: The spatial fluctuations of the extragalactic background light trace the total emission from all stars and galaxies in the Universe. A multi-wavelength study can be used to measure the integrated emission from first galaxies during reionization when the Universe was about 500 million years old. Here we report arcminute-scale spatial fluctuations in one of the deepest sky surveys with the Hubble Space Telescope in five wavebands between 0.6 and 1.6 $μ$m. We model-fit the angular power spectra of intensity fluctuation measurements to find the ultraviolet luminosity density of galaxies at $z$ > 8 to be $\log ρ_{\rm UV} = 27.4^{+0.2}_{-1.2}$ erg s$^{-1}$ Hz$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-3}$ $(1σ)$. This level of integrated light emission allows for a significant surface density of fainter primeval galaxies that are below the point source detection level in current surveys.

Frau-Sein verkauft sich gut – Überlegungen und Thesen zu Kunst, Karriere, Geschlecht und Vermarktung

description: Being a Woman Sells – Thoughts and Theses on Art, Careers, Gender, and Marketing In recent years, art by women artists has received ambivalent recognition. Whereas on the one hand the sheer number of publications, exhibitions, and well-known women artists has increased considerably, the general discourse on women in the arts and culture has often been accompanied by a weird sort of feminist conservatism. The text analyses the structure of these ambivalent and sometimes even contradictory phenomena by means of selected but interwoven examples. The main thesis claims that feminism functions as a label under which different layers of the debate – popular, political or/and specialist voices – are closely intertwined, and that art historical narratives in particular don’t sufficiently consider the consequences of these entanglements. As a result, feminist art history often reproduces an unreflected and by now obsolete notion of feminism.

Bringing Bosnia Closer to Europe: Can the EU Successfully Navigate the Nationalist Roadblocks?
Creators: name: Chapman, Mary
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

description: The international community (IC) has been present in Bosnia-Herzegovina for almost twenty years. Although many reforms were achieved during the first decade of the state-building process, and violence has almost completely ceased to be a potential threat to stability, Bosnia-Herzegovina is still far away from being able to function as an independent state. The Office of High Representative and subsequently European Union have taken measures to promote increased cooperation among the different ethnic groups as well as try to create a stronger central government with less power for the individual entities. Since 2006, these efforts at reform have only met with political stalemate. This essay argues that largely due to the long history of political nationalism in the RS, but also due to ineptitude on behalf of the international actors involved, that the European Union will be forced to soften its stance on its expectations of constitutional reform.
Mehr Öffentlichkeit für weniger Feminismus. Ein kommentiertes Gespräch mit Andrea Saemann und Katrin Grögel über das Projekt Performance Saga und die Verweigerung eines politischen Bekenntnisses

description: Barbara Preisig More Publicity for Less Feminism Why has feminism become so popular in the arts in the last few years? How can recent references to early feminist positions of the 1960s and 1970s, which have been updated and restored from a contemporary point of view through exhibition projects and events, be interpreted? “Performance Saga – Encounters with Pioneers of Performance Art” is an example of the renewed approval of gender-related topics in the arts. In their eight-DVD collection, Katrin Grögel and Andrea Saemann assemble interviews with Valie Export, Martha Rosler, Joan Jonas, and Carolee Schneemann, among others. In so doing, they contribute to feminist art history of the twentieth century. Talking to the editors of “Performance Saga”, I was particularly interested in the reasons for the big media coverage of the project and in their marketing and self-marketing strategies. We will discuss their seemingly paradoxical decision to deny feminist concerns in the media and the public in order to avoid the negative connotations of the term feminism and hence to gain more publicity. Is this the expression of a post-feminist approach or rather the concealment of a political statement? The text will discuss complexities and antagonisms occurring in connection with gender related projects in the art context.

Asymptotic arbitrage in fractional mixed markets

description: We consider a family of mixed processes given as the sum of a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H\in(3/4,1)$ and a multiple of an independent standard Brownian motion, the family being indexed by the scaling factor in front of the Brownian motion. We analyze the underlying markets with methods from large financial markets. More precisely, we show the existence of a strong asymptotic arbitrage (defined as in Kabanov and Kramkov [Finance Stoch. 2(2), 143--172 (1998)]) when the scaling factor converges to zero. We apply a result of Kabanov and Kramkov [Finance Stoch. 2(2), 143--172 (1998)] that characterizes the notion of strong asymptotic arbitrage in terms of the entire asymptotic separation of two sequences of probability measures. The main part of the paper consists of proving the entire separation and is based on a dichotomy result for sequences of Gaussian measures and the concept of relative entropy.

Plantago maritima var. apennina terracciano (1894: 173‒174)

description: Plantago maritima var. apennina Terracciano (1894: 173‒174)
 The protologue of this taxon consists of a short diagnosis and in a quote of Terracciano’s previous works (Terracciano 1872: 156, 1873: 96‒97, 1878: 115). Moreover, Terracciano (1894: 173) reported “In montibus Lepinis, al Pizzone, Rolli ” which would refer to at least one specimen. The Rolli’s collection is currently preserved at RO, as it was at the time of Terracciano who highlighted this (1894: 132‒133, “...Ettore Rolli...La collezione originale e completa trovasi nel R. [Regio] Istituto botanico di Roma” (“...Ettore Rolli...The original and complete collection is in the botanic Institute of Rome”).
 We checked all the Plantago specimens preserved at RO (several packages) and found only one specimen (no. 39860) which could be relevant for typification. This specimen bears ten plants and two labels. Both labels report the same in Rolli’s handwriting: “ Plantago serpentina, all. | In elatioribus Lepinis | 28. Giugno 1852 | Herb H. Rolli”. Obviously all ten plants on the sheet belong to the same gathering made in the Lepini mountains (Central Italy). Although the RO specimen was collected by Rolli in 1852 (thus before 1894, the year of publication of P. maritima var. apennina) in the Lepini mountains, the reference to the precise locality, mount Pizzone, is lacking. Accordingly we cannot be sure that this specimen represents original material and therefore we designate the specimen at RO as the neotype of the name Plantago maritima var. apennina here. On the basis of the morphological features of the neotype and the current wide specific circumscription in the narrow leaved plantains (see e.g., Charter & Cartier 1976, Pignatti 1982, Pedrol 2009) we here propose to synonymize (new synonymy) the names Plantago maritima var. apennina under P. holosteum.
