– Caniveau et bord orientaux de la route T22 (ancienne N 194), juste au nord du pont de Sellola, 890 m, une trentaine de pieds, 20.5.2016 et 5.6.2016, Paradis, G. s.n. (Hb. Privé Paradis), photos.
GAMISANS & JEANMONOD (Compl. Prodr. Fl. Corse – Annexe 3 – Cat. Pl. Vasc. Corse: 135, 1993) notent que l’espèce «ne semble plus avoir été récoltée en Corse depuis Revelière (in MARSILLY, Cat. Pl. Vasc. Corse: 21, 1872). Présence à confirmer». Ultérieurement, JEANMONOD & GAMISANS (Fl. Corsica: 566, 2007; Fl. Corsica: 571, 2013) précisent, dans une note de bas de page, que « Thlaspi alliaceum L. a été signalé à Venacu (1872) mais non confirmé depuis».
Il paraît probable que la localisation au bord de la route T22 résulte d’une introduction récente et involontaire, des graines de la plante ayant pu se trouver dans les lots de semences ayant servi à végétaliser les talus de la route, qui a été agrandie assez récemment. On peut considérer cette espèce comme une xénophyte nouvelle pour la Corse. Mais il n’est pas sûr qu’elle se maintienne et se naturalise, car en 2017, son nombre d’individus était nettement inférieur (moins de dix) à celui observé en 2016.

Première mention dans le massif de Cagna pour cette espèce par ailleurs répandue dans une grande partie de la montagne corse, au Monte San Petrone et du Cintu à Bavedda (voir THIÉBAUD, Valerianaceae: 25-31, 1996). Cette observation étend vers le sud l’aire de répartition connue de la plante. Il existe très curieusement à Genève (http://www.ville-ge.ch/musinfo/bd/ cjb/chg/adetail.php?id=103774&lang=fr) une planche d’herbier (n°SIB 35281) de l’herbier Cousturier comprenant trois échantillons de cette valériane avec une étiquette indiquant «Bonifacio, rochers de la Trinité, juin 1912, leg. Stefani» mais déterminée comme Centranthus trinervus! Il s’agit probablement d’une erreur d’étiquetage (comm. D. Jeanmonod).

description: When the material phases exhibit topological quantum numbers, they host defects protected by the nontrivial topology. Magnetic skyrmions are such ``quantized" objects and although many of them are metals they had been most likely treated in theories as purely classical spin states. Here, we show that the electrons described by the Hubbard model with strong spin-orbit couplings can exhibit various nano- or flake-size skyrmions in their ground state. Importantly, the conducting electrons forming Fermi pockets themselves carry textured magnetic moments in both real and momentum space and on top of that, possess Chern numbers in their energy bands. This quantum and conducting skyrmion is related to small skyrmions observed in atomic-layered compounds. We clarify how the effective magnetic interactions and magnetic anisotropies are tied to the spin-orbit coupling, and how they influence the stability of skyrmions beyond the phenomenology.

description: In electric machine design, efficient methods for the optimization of the geometry and associated parameters are essential. Nowadays, it is necessary to address the uncertainty caused by manufacturing or material tolerances. This work presents a robust optimization strategy to address uncertainty in the design of a three-phase, six-pole permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The geometry is constructed in a two-dimensional framework within MATLAB®, employing isogeometric analysis (IGA) to enable flexible shape optimization. The main contributions of this research are twofold. First, we integrate shape optimization with parameter optimization to enhance the performance of PMSM designs. Second, we use robust optimization, which creates a min–max problem, to ensure that the motor maintains its performance when facing uncertainties. To solve this bilevel problem, we work with the maximal value functions of the lower-level maximization problems and apply a version of Danskin’s theorem for the computation of generalized derivatives. Additionally, the adjoint method is employed to efficiently solve the lower-level problems with gradient-based optimization. The paper concludes by presenting numerical results showcasing the efficacy of the proposed robust optimization framework. The results indicate that the optimized PMSM designs not only perform competitively compared to their non-robust counterparts but also show resilience to operational and manufacturing uncertainties, making them attractive for industrial applications.

Si ces nouvelles observations ne modifient pas la chorologie de la plante en Corse, elles conduisent désormais à envisager ce taxon comme peu fréquent (PF).

Remarks. The measurements of six adult females collected in this study fit the original description. In a redescription of the species based on specimens from São Paulo, Zacarias & Moraes (2001) reported that some dorsal setae were shorter (j 1 30–32, z2 8–9, z4 11 and S 5 11 –14) and Sge IV was longer (65–73) than reported in the original description (j1 36, z2 14, z4 14, S5 16 and Sge IV 59). In the specimens examined in this study, the ranges of the lengths of those setae (j 1 29–35, z 2 8–11, z 4 12–16, S 5 12 –15 and Sge IV 54–78) are in between or partially overlap the values given in the original description and those of Zacarias & Moraes (2001). As also mentioned by Zacarias & Moraes (2001), the specimens collected in this study have dorsal shield with less conspicuous lateral notches at level of s4 than reported in the original description. In addition, the fixed cheliceral digit has more teeth (14–15) than reported by Zacarias & Moraes (2001) (11–13) and in the original description (7).

description: U-M researchers in the School of Dentistry and School of Medicine study the relationship between physical stimuli in a test subject and neural activity in the mouse jaw region, which will help translate usable data to a human scale. There is thus a need for a device that will produce repeatable and reliable displacement and force measurements, replacing the existing testing procedure utilizing hand-held tools with many sources of variability. Our project aims to develop a fully integrated mechatronics prototype that meets functionality, usability, and safety requirements determined through stakeholder engagement with project sponsors.

Music teacher evaluation
Creators: name: Smith, Domecq
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This study examined New Jersey public school music teacher attitudes and perceptions of state mandated evaluations performed upon them by comparing teachers evaluated by administrators having a music degree with those evaluated by administrators who did not. Music teachers evaluated under two contrasting state approved evaluation models, Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching, and James Stronge’s Teacher Effectiveness Performance Evaluation System were included in the study. Research questions were to what extent evaluator background and evaluation model type act as independent factors or interact in influencing music teacher attitudes and perceptions of the evaluation process. The design was a 2 X 2 analysis of variance with the factors Administrator Type and Model Type. Qualitative analysis of an open-ended response was included. Participants were drawn from New Jersey K-12 active public school music teachers (N = 308). Outcome variables were derived from a Likert scale survey developed for this study measuring teacher attitudes and perceptions encompassing four domains. Results indicated more favorable perception between respondents when the evaluation was performed by administrators who had a music degree than when they did not at significant (p < .05) and highly significant (p < .01) levels. Results indicated more favorable perception between respondents when the evaluation utilized the Danielson model than the Stronge model at significant (p < .05) levels, yet interaction between the factors of evaluator and model type were encountered at significant levels (p < .05) for questions pertaining to professional growth and evaluative philosophy. Findings suggest that the factors of administrator and model type did not act independently in influencing music teacher perception but operated together. Additional research directed towards administrator/model type interaction in the influence of music teacher attitude and perception is recommended.

description: One of the professional responsibilities of the school music teacher is to guide  students on the path of careers in music. One way researchers have examined students  pursuing music careers is through socialization and occupational identity. Most of the  research in this domain is conducted on music education and performance majors. The  purpose of this study was to explore how undergraduate sound recording technology  majors in a traditional school of music construct their occupational identity. A case study  using a survey and interviews was conducted. Thirty students responded to the survey  and 15 of them volunteered to be interviewed. Analysis showed that school music  teachers and parents were positive influences on music career decisions in high school  and college faculty, students, and experiences in the sound recording major were the most  positive influences in college. Qualitative analysis revealed musician and sound engineer  identities were conflicted. Students reported stereotype and stigma about their  musicianship while being proud of the technology skills that make them unique and  useful in the social structure of the school. Analysis also revealed a strong sense of family  and community, where students and faculty in the major are unified around a common set  of experiences and skills.

description: With hundreds of dolphins under human care, providing a high quality of life is important to dozens of organizations. Enrichment, defined as “a way to engage with the environment using a stimulating cognitive task” is a critical aspect to maintaining that quality of life. However, current enrichment programs rely directly on human involvement, which is not always possible. This project aims to design an enrichment system that can be safely used by dolphins without human supervision. The system should provide environmental stimulation that encourages positive behaviors. This project seeks to ensure dolphins have access to enrichment around the clock.
Bardasis-Schrieffer-like phase mode in a superconducting bilayer

description: We theoretically study the low-lying collective modes of an even-parity spin-singlet superconducting bilayer, where strong spin-orbit coupling leads to a closely competing odd-parity pairing state. We develop a gauge-invariant theory for the coupling of phase fluctuations to an external electromagnetic field and show that the competing odd-parity pairing instability gives rise to a Bardasis-Schrieffer-like phase mode within the excitation gap. Accounting for the long-range Coulomb interaction, however, we find that this mode is converted into an antisymmetric plasmon and is likely pushed into the quasiparticle continuum.

description: In 1-bit matrix completion, the aim is to estimate an underlying low-rank matrix from a partial set of binary observations. We propose a novel method for 1-bit matrix completion called Majorization-Minimization Gauss-Newton (MMGN). Our method is based on the majorization-minimization principle, which converts the original optimization problem into a sequence of standard low-rank matrix completion problems. We solve each of these sub-problems by a factorization approach that explicitly enforces the assumed low-rank structure and then apply a Gauss-Newton method. Using simulations and a real data example, we illustrate that in comparison to existing 1-bit matrix completion methods, MMGN outputs comparable if not more accurate estimates. In addition, it is often significantly faster, and less sensitive to the spikiness of the underlying matrix. In comparison with three standard generic optimization approaches that directly minimize the original objective, MMGN also exhibits a clear computational advantage, especially when the fraction of observed entries is small.

Quatrième station pour cette espèce très rare en Corse et protégée. La plante a été anciennement citée de Bastia, puis longtemps observée seulement en milieu d’origine anthropique (retenue de Teppe Rosse près d’Aleria) (voir JEANMONOD & GAMISANS, Scrophulariaceae: 55, 1992) et son indigénat non établi avec certitude. Elle a ensuite été observée dans une mare temporaire près de Porto-Vecchio (voir PARADIS, Candollea 63: 149, 2008) et dans une prairie inondable de la basse-vallée de la Gravona (voir DUMOULIN et al., Candollea 67: 319, 2012). Cette troisième localité en milieu naturel nous autorise à penser que son indigénat en Corse est probable.

Before the screen, and other stories
Creators: name: Collins, Bryan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Prior to the emergence of Tinder in 2013, discussion of the viability of online dating centered on the failure of online dating platforms to attract heterosexual women.  Before the era of the screen, however, gay men, facing down laws and social norms which rendered their desires publicly unspeakable, had been meeting through other virtual means, phone chat lines and online chat rooms, for decades.  The same year that Tinder debuted, Grindr, the first dating app for gay men, had already amassed over four million users worldwide, a quarter of whom used the app on a daily basis.    Two surveys, conducted in 2014 and 2015, found that 70% of gay men had dated someone they met online.  This collection of stories, set primarily in Richmond, Virginia, asks what these men see reflected when they place themselves before the screen?  Perhaps, like the protagonists of “Reunion” or “DeirdreMomLove1947,” they see a force of reconciliation.  Or perhaps, as in “The Weirding Path” or “Adornments,” they are lured in by the potential the app holds for deceit, for retribution.    At its core, this collection asks readers to consider a philosophical question: when our romantic and sexual identities are mediated by a platform where we can say anything, or be anyone—who do we become?
The effect of betrayal on task co-representation
Creators: name: Oing, Theodore
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: An act of betrayal, defined as an intentional undermining of one’s trust or expectations, is believed to have potential to affect one’s level of co-representation, a construct that posits that those in a dyad share mental representations with one another. The construct results in one’s actions being represented and having impact on the other’s actions, which is important for interdependent tasks that require cooperation or competition. Although there has been extensive research into co-representation, very few studies have investigated the influence of social effects on the cognitive construct, and even fewer have explored standardized betrayal manipulations. The current study examined whether betrayal would facilitate or diminish one’s level of co-representation, using an asymmetrical multiplayer game to elicit feelings of betrayal and negative moods. We tested the level of co-representation with an established go/no-go task. Although our findings were not statistically significant, the observed trends corresponded to previous claims that negative moods have a reducing effect on one’s level of co-representation.
