Nidorella foetida

description: Erigeron foetidus (Linnaeus) Linnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 1213. 1763.
"Habitat in Africa." RCN: 6258.
 Basionym: Inula foetida L. (1759).
 Lectotype (Wild in Bol. Soc. Brot., sér. 2, 43: 217. 1969): [icon] " Senecio, Africanus folio retuso" in Miller, Fig. Pl. Gard. Dict. 2: 155, t. 233. 1758.
 Current name: Nidorella foetida (L.) DC. (Asteraceae).
 Note: Specific epithet spelled “foetidum” in the protologue.
 Linnaeus caused considerable confusion in his Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2 (1763) treatment by simultaneously recognising both Inula foetida (p. 1241), originally published in 1759 linked with an African element but in 1763 said to be from Malta, and Erigeron foetidus (p. 1213) from Africa. Interpretation has been complicated because Linnaeus cited the Miller illustration (now the lectotype of I. foetida) in the synonymy of both names. However, most authors (e.g. Brullo in Webbia 34: 290. 1979) have interpreted I. foetida (1759) as homotypic with E. foetidus (L.) L. (1763), and the Maltese taxon has been described as Chiliadenus bocconei Brullo.

description: This paper develops the theory and methods for modeling a stationary count time series via Gaussian transformations. The techniques use a latent Gaussian process and a distributional transformation to construct stationary series with very flexible correlation features that can have any pre-specified marginal distribution, including the classical Poisson, generalized Poisson, negative binomial, and binomial structures. Gaussian pseudo-likelihood and implied Yule-Walker estimation paradigms, based on the autocovariance function of the count series, are developed via a new Hermite expansion. Particle filtering and sequential Monte Carlo methods are used to conduct likelihood estimation. Connections to state space models are made. Our estimation approaches are evaluated in a simulation study and the methods are used to analyze a count series of weekly retail sales.

description: This work reports on three asymmetrical Zn(II) phthalocyanines, namely: zinc(II) 3–(4-phenoxy)propanoic acid) phthalocyanine(1), zinc(II) 3–(4-phenoxy carboxylic acid) phthalocyanine (2) and zinc(II) 3–(4–oxy)phenoxy)acetic acid phthalocyanine (3) when covalently linked to glutathione(GSH) capped CdTe/ZnSe and CdTe/ZnSe/ZnO quantum dots (QDs). Of the Pc complexes alone, 1 afforded the highest triplet quantum yield (ΦT) value of 0.67 with corresponding largest nonlinear absorption coefficient (βeff) value of 14.0 cm/GW compared to 2 and 3. The conjugates afforded improved triplet quantum yield and nonlinear optical behavior in comparison to the Pc complexes alone.

description: We propose a scenario of the beginning of inflation in which the non-vacuum value of the scalar field that drives inflation develops dynamically due to the non-minimal coupling to gravity. In this scenario, inflation emerges as an intermediate stage of the evolution of the Universe, well after the Planck epoch, from a fairly general initial state.

description: Solving dynamical problems in general relativity requires the full machinery of numerical relativity. Wilson has proposed a simpler but approximate scheme for systems near equilibrium, like binary neutron stars. We test the scheme on isolated, rapidly rotating, relativistic stars. Since these objects are in equilibrium, it is crucial that the approximation work well if we are to believe its predictions for more complicated systems like binaries. Our results are very encouraging.

Screening and fluctuation of the topological charge in random wave fields

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Vortices, phase singularities, and topological defects of any kind often reflect information that is crucial for understanding physical systems in which such entities arise. With near-field experiments supported by numerical calculations, we determine the fluctuations of the topological charge for phase singularities in isotropic random waves as a function of the size R of the observation window. We demonstrate that for two-dimensional fields such fluctuations increase with a superlinear scaling law, consistent with a R log R behavior. Additionally, we show that such scaling remains valid in the presence of anisotropy.

description: Volunteered Geographic Information in the form of actively and passively generated spatial content offers great potential to study people’s activities, emotional perceptions, and mobility behavior. Realizing this potential requires methods which take into account the specific properties of such data, for example, its heterogeneity, subjectivity, and spatial resolution but also temporal relevance and bias. The aim of the chapter is to show how insights into human behavior can be gained from location-based social media and movement data using visual analysis methods. A conceptual behavioral model is introduced that summarizes people’s reactions under the influence of one or more events. In addition, influencing factors are described using a context model, which makes it possible to analyze visitation and mobility patterns with regard to spatial, temporal, and thematic-attribute changes. Selected generic methods are presented, such as extended time curves and the co-bridge metaphor to perform comparative analysis along time axes. Furthermore, it is shown that emojis can be used as contextual indicants to analyze sentiment and emotions in relation to events and locations. Application-oriented workflows are presented for activity analysis in the field of urban and landscape planning. It is shown how location-based social media can be used to obtain information about landscape objects that are collectively perceived as valuable and worth preserving. The mobility behavior of people is analyzed using the example of multivariate time series from football data. Therefore, topic modeling and pattern analyzes were utilized to identify average positions and area of movements of the football teams.

The Fundamental Constitutional Principle of Democracy and the Rule of Law and the Supervision of Legality on the Grounds of the Basic Law of Finland

Subjects: subject: 160699 Political Science not elsewhere classified

description: The political system of Finland and the consciousness of the Finnish society are strongly attached to the rule of law and solidified democratic principles. Strict observance of the principles of democracy and the rule of law, including individual rights and freedoms, especially in the context of their relations with the state authorities, ought to be perceived as a peculiar characteristic feature and singularity of Finland, similarly as of the other Nordic states. In fact, the substance of an individual’s status and the protection of his/her rights has always been and still remains a very significant area of these states’ functioning. Hence, the principle of democracy and the rule of law on the grounds of the Basic Law of Finland, having been in force since 1 March 2000, was included into the catalogue of the fundamental constitutional principles, forming the basics of the state’s political system. Among the Nordic traditions cultivated by Finland there can also be placed strongly preserved supervision of legality, performed not only by the judicial system, like for instance the control of the constitutionality of law and the liability of the supreme state officials, but also by the non-judicial authorities of legal protection, such as: the Chancellor of Justice of the Council of State (Government) and the Ombudsman of Eduskunta (Parliament), which are so characteristic and directly originate from the Nordic legal and constitutional culture. Therefore, a whole separate chapter of the Finnish Constitution has been devoted to the matters of the control over the legality. The hereby paper aims at conducting the analysis of the content and scope of the fundamental constitutional principle of democracy and the rule of law, as well as the questions of the supervision of legality, its comprehension and range on the grounds of the Basic Law of Finland.

The local symmetry-group of the resulting d=4 theory includes a Heisenberg group, which is a subgroup of the global O(6,6+n) obtained in the standard reduction. We show explicitly that the same theory can be obtained by gauging this Heisenberg group in d=4, N=4 supergravity.

description: Czech experience in the field of referendums is rather limited. Only one nationwide referendum which has been held so far, took place in 2003 and concerned the membership of the Republic in the European Union. The experience of referendums at the local level is incomparably richer: decisions related to environmental matters have gained importance. The greatest interest was raised by referendums on the creation of new municipalities, storage of radioactive waste and elements of radar to be included in the anti-missile shield.It is most probable that referendums will not be used more often than before at the state level in the Czech Republic in the future. This assumption is supported by the lack of such historical experiences as well as the unwillingness of political decision makers. Only local communities often use this kind of opportunity to express their stance on important matters. Significant support on the political scene has been obtained by groups who even call for direct democracy to play a more important role than before in the political system of the Republic. These are not the strongest parties in the Czech Parliament.

description: We develop a general term structure framework taking stochastic discontinuities explicitly into account. Stochastic discontinuities are a key feature in interest rate markets, as for example the jumps of the term structures in correspondence to monetary policy meetings of the ECB show. We provide a general analysis of multiple curve markets under minimal assumptions in an extended HJM framework and provide a fundamental theorem of asset pricing based on NAFLVR. The approach with stochastic discontinuities permits to embed market models directly, unifying seemingly different modeling philosophies. We also develop a tractable class of models, based on affine semimartingales, going beyond the requirement of stochastic continuity.

description: A massless scalar field minimally coupled to the gravitational field in a simplified spherical symmetry is discussed. It is shown that, in this case, the solution found by Roberts, describing a scalar field collapse, is in fact the most general one. Taking that solution as departure point, a study of the gravitational collapse for the self-similar conformal case is presented.

description: We show that pharmacosiderite is a novel cluster antiferromagnet comprising frustrated regular tetrahedra made of spin-5/2 Fe3+ ions that are arranged in the primitive cubic lattice. The connectivity of the tetrahedra and the inter-cluster interaction of 2.9 K, which is significantly large compared with the intra-cluster interaction of 10.6 K, gives a unique playground for frustration physics. An unconventional antiferromagnetic order is observed below TN ~ 6 K, which is accompanied by a weak ferromagnetic moment and a large fluctuation as evidenced by Mossbauer spectroscopy. A q = 0 magnetic order with the total S = 0 for the tetrahedral cluster is proposed based on the irreducible representation analysis, which may explain the origin of the weak ferromagnetism and fluctuation.

Characteristics of Reforming the Institutions of Power in Ukraine in the Transition to Democracy

description: The author proves, that in Ukraine the level of political consolidation, when it would be possible to clearly define, whether a transition is completed or not, and what regime is firmly established in the state, is not achieved yet. Political players are far from confessing the inviolability of democratic rules of political game; there is a considerable threat of authoritarianism. Freedom House considers the Ukrainian state a free electoral state, not a liberal democracy. The judicial features of Ukraine in the democratization process are as follows: lack of fulfillment of one of the first tasks of the transition: replacement of elites; lack of legal culture of the authorities, their inability to realize the rules of governance; formal institutionalization; relative weakness of the basic opposition; slowness of the reformation and sustainable failure to perform the tasks of every stage of the transition; weakness and low legitimacy of democratic institutions, conjuncture reformation for party-group interests; gradual replacement of bits and pieces of the post-communist authoritarianism with the new oligarchic authoritarianism on the behavior level of some elite groups.

description: The stable operation of quantum computers will rely on error-correction, in which single quantum bits of information are stored redundantly in the Hilbert space of a larger system. Such encoded qubits are commonly based on arrays of many physical qubits, but can also be realized using a single higher-dimensional quantum system, such as a harmonic oscillator. A powerful encoding is formed from a periodically spaced superposition of position eigenstates. Various proposals have been made for realizing approximations to such states, but these have thus far remained out of reach. Here, we demonstrate such an encoded qubit using a superposition of displaced squeezed states of the harmonic motion of a single trapped Calcium ion, controlling and measuring the oscillator through coupling to an ancilliary internal-state qubit. We prepare and reconstruct logical states with an average square fidelity of $87.3 \pm 0.7 \%$, and demonstrate a universal logical single qubit gate set which we analyze using process tomography. For Pauli gates we reach process fidelities of $\approx 97\%$, while for continuous rotations we use gate teleportation achieving fidelities of $\approx 89 \%$. The control demonstrated opens a route for exploring continuous variable error-correction as well as hybrid quantum information schemes using both discrete and continuous variables. The code states also have direct applications in quantum sensing, allowing simultaneous measurement of small displacements in both position and momentum.

description: We demonstrate that quark matter in the color-flavor locked phase of QCD is rigorously electrically neutral, despite the unequal quark masses, and even in the presence of an electron chemical potential. As long as the strange quark mass and the electron chemical potential do not preclude the color-flavor locked phase, quark matter is automatically neutral. No electrons are required and none are admitted.

description: The trends of shorter product lifecycles, customized products, and volatile market environments require manufacturers to reconfigure their production increasingly frequent to maintain competitiveness and customer satisfaction. More frequent reconfigurations, however, are linked to increased efforts in production planning and control (PPC). This poses a challenge for manufacturers, especially in regard of demographic change and shortage of qualified labour, since many tasks in PPC are performed manually by domain experts. Following the paradigm of software-defined manufacturing, this paper targets to enable a higher degree of automation and interoperability in PPC by applying the concepts of service-oriented architecture. As a result, production planners are empowered to orchestrate tasks in PPC without consideration of underlying implementation details. At first, it is investigated how tasks in PPC can be represented as services with the aim of encapsulation and reusability. Secondly, a software architecture based on asset administration shells is presented that allows connection to production data sources and enables integration and usage of such PPC services. In this sense, an approach for mapping asset administrations shells to OpenAPI Specifications is proposed for interoperable and semantic integration of existing services and legacy systems. Lastly, challenges and potential solutions for data integration are discussed considering the present heterogeneity of data sources in manufacturing.

description: Hyaluronan (HA) is a linear, regular polysaccharide that plays as a chief structural and functional component in peri- and extracellular matrices, thus contributing significantly to many basic cellular processes. To understand more comprehensively the response of the supramolecular organization of HA polymers to changes in their aqueous environment, we study the effects of Ca2+ concentration and pH on the morphology and viscoelasticity of films of end-grafted HA polymers on planar supports (HA brushes), as a well-defined in vitro model system of HA-rich matrices, by reflection interference contrast microscopy and quartz crystal microbalance. The thickness and softness of HA brushes decrease significantly with Ca2+ concentration but do not change with pH, within the physiological ranges of these parameters. The effect of Ca2+ on HA brush thickness is virtually identical to the effect of Na+ at 10-fold higher concentrations. Moreover, the thickness and softness of HA brushes decrease appreciably upon HA protonation at pH less than 6. Effects of pH and calcium ions are fully reversible over large parameter ranges. These findings are relevant for understanding the supramolecular organization and dynamics of HA-rich matrices in biological systems and will also benefit the rational design of synthetic HA-rich materials with tailored properties.

description: Frugivores play differing roles in shaping dispersal patterns yet seed dispersal distance is rarely quantified across entire communities. We model seed dispersal distance using gut passage times and bird movement for the majority (39 interactions) of known bird–tree interactions on the island of Saipan to highlight differences in seed dispersal distances provided by the five avian frugivores. One bird species was found to be a seed predator rather than a disperser. The remaining four avian species dispersed seeds but differences in seed dispersal distance were largely driven by interspecific variation in bird movement rather than intraspecific variation in gut passage times. The median dispersal distance was at least 56 m for all species-specific combinations, indicating all species play a role in reducing high seed mortality under the parent tree. However, one species—the Micronesian Starling—performed 94% of dispersal events greater than 500 m, suggesting this species could be a key driver of long-distance dispersal services (e.g. linking populations, colonizing new areas). Assessing variation in dispersal patterns across this network highlights key sources of variation in seed dispersal distances and suggests which empirical approaches are sufficient for modelling how seed dispersal mutualisms affect populations and communities.
True Gaussian shaping for high count rate measurements of pulse amplitudes

description: A digital shaper for high-count-rate detection and amplitude measurement of pulses is proposed and analysed in this paper. The proposed shaper converts pulses with a short leading edge and a long exponential tail into a true Gaussian form. The width of Gaussian pulses can be several times smaller than the rise time of the input pulses, i.e. considerably shorter than the undistorted output pulses provided by standard shapers. Therefore, the proposed true Gaussian shaper resolves strongly overlapped pulses better and provides a higher output count rate. The capabilities of the proposed true Gaussian shaper are analysed with real and simulated output signals of a silicon drift detector of soft X-ray radiation, operating at a high count rate of the collected quanta. Our analysis shows that true Gaussian shapers can increase the count rate of spectrometer systems several times compared with the widely used trapezoidal shapers, while maintaining their amplitude resolution.

description: Topological singularities are ubiquitous in many areas of physics. Polarization singularities are locations at which an aspect of the polarization ellipse of light becomes undetermined or degenerate. At C points the orientation of the ellipse becomes degenerate and light's electric field vector describes a perfect circle in time. In 2D slices of 3D random fields the distribution in space of the C points is reminiscent of that of interacting particles. With near-field experiments we show that when light becomes truly 2D, this has severe consequences for the distribution of C points in space. The most notable change is that the probability of finding two C points with the same topological charge at a vanishing distance is enhanced in a 2D field. This is an unusual finding for any system which exhibits topological singularities as same-charge repulsion is typically observed. All our experimental findings are supported with theory and excellent agreement is found between theory and experiment.

description: Influenza incidence and seasonality, along with virus survival and transmission, appear to depend at least partly on humidity, and recent studies have suggested that absolute humidity (AH) is more important than relative humidity (RH) in modulating observed patterns. In this perspective article, we re-evaluate studies of influenza virus survival in aerosols, transmission in animal models and influenza incidence to show that the combination of temperature and RH is equally valid as AH as a predictor. Collinearity must be considered, as higher levels of AH are only possible at higher temperatures, where it is well established that virus decay is more rapid. In studies of incidence that employ meteorological data, outdoor AH may be serving as a proxy for indoor RH in temperate regions during the wintertime heating season. Finally, we present a mechanistic explanation based on droplet evaporation and its impact on droplet physics and chemistry for why RH is more likely than AH to modulate virus survival and transmission.
