Lithostege buxtoni

description: L. buxtoni Prout
(Figs. 5, 36; Map 2)
Lithostege buxtoni Prout, 1920: 312. Holotype 3, BMNH (examined). Type locality: Kangavar (Hamadan prov., NW Iran). Lithostege buxtoni: Prout, 1937: 84, pl. 8g; Parsons et al., 1999: 545.
Material examined. Type material: Holotype 3: ‘Kangavar, Hamadan N. W. Persia 5000 ft. 6.12. 18 P. A. Buxton’, ‘ Lithostege buxtoni male Prout type’, ‘L. B. Prout coll. 1939–643’; coll BMNH.
Additional material: 5 3: 1 3: Iran, Fars, Bakhtegan-Tashk NP Geb. Dschokaran, 1400 m, 18.2.1997, 29°41' [N], 53°45' [E], leg. Dr. Wieser Ch., BC ZSM Lep 0 8632, gen. prep. 1015/2010 H. R.; in ZSM. 4 3: Fars, Kazerun, Gavkoshak, 22.12.1975, L.T. (Abai), preps 1066/2010 and 1067/2010 H. R.; all in HMIM. Preparations of genitalia: 3 3.
Description & Diagnosis. The largest Iranian Lithostege (wingspan: 33–35 mm). Forewing with a dark, deeply waved line from apex to the middle of hind margin, with the two strongest outward projections at veins CuA1 and CuA2 (Fig. 5); proximally, this line is highlighted by a broad white band; there are two indistinct, submarginal lines; hindwing without pattern elements. In the only other species similar in size and pattern, L. stadiei, the medial line is not waved and terminates at the base of the forewings. Male genitalia: saccus narrowly elongated; valve triangular; basal process (“harpe”) short, broad, with rounded apex; juxta with rounded base, converging laterally and notched apically; uncus broad at base, terminal half broad, apex truncate; aedeagus long, apically curved (Fig 36). Female unknown.
Bionomics. Specimens studied are collected in December, January (Lehmann et al., 2009) and February, at altitudes from 680 m (Lehmann et al., 2009) to 1524 m (Prout, 1937: 84).
Additional data on distribution based on literature sources. Barou (1967): Caspienne [Mazandaran]; Prout (1937 – 1939): Kangavar (Hamadan prov.); Wiltshire (1942): Arabs (Shergat), Iran (between Hamadan and Kermanshah; Takht-i Suleiman in Kurdistan; Kermanshah; Shiraz); Wiltshire (1964): Turkey (Vilayet Elaziz), Iran, Iraq [without exact locality]; Lehmann et al. (2009): Tang-e-Faryab (Bushehr prov.).
Remarks. Barou (1967) reported this species from Mazandaran, but it is very unlikely that an arid species like L. buxtoni occurs under the ecological conditions (Hyrcanian forest) of Mazandaran.
Distribution. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Turkey and widely distributed in Iran (middle and western Zagros Mts.) (Map 2).

description: Unter dem eingängigen Slogan «Wissen Sie mehr?» ruft das Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek seit Ende 2015 die interessierte Öffentlichkeit auf, beim Identifizieren, Beschreiben und Georeferen-zieren von historischen Bildern mitzuhelfen. Ein glücklicher Zufall Anfang 2016, der in einen NZZ-Artikel mündetet, löste ein grosses Medienecho aus und rief viele Freiwillige auf den Plan. 
Das Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek verfügt über 3,5 Millionen Bilder zu den Themen Wissen-schafts- und Technikgeschichte der Schweiz, Porträts, Landschafts-/Ortsansichten und Luftbilder u.a.m. Rund 550'000 Bilder sind, wenn immer rechtlich möglich, auf der Bilddatenbank E-Pics Bildarchiv Online als Open Data kostenfrei download- und nutzbar.
Schnell wurde im Frühjahr 2016 klar, dass die Kommentarfunktion in der Bilddatenbank und der Medienerfolg alleine nicht genügen, um eine interessierte Community von mittlerweile über 1’100 Personen (10 % Frauen) aufzubauen und zu betreuen. Im Team musste ein Workflow aufgebaut werden, um die pro Monat durchschnittlich 1'500 eingehenden E-Mails und 3'000 Georeferenzie-rungen auf der kollaborativen Plattform sMapshot zeitnah zu validieren. Die Qualität der gewon-nenen Informationen ist stets sehr gut. Die seit vier Jahren stabile Top 10 der Freiwilligen (Männer im Pensionierungsalter) reichte bisher 81 % der rund 95'000 eingegangenen Bildkommentare ein. 
Im Mai 2016 richteten wir den Blog ETH-Bibliothek | Crowdsourcing ein, auf dem zweimal pro Woche über die laufenden Aktivitäten gepostet wird. Ausserdem finden jährliche Treffen mit der Crowd statt, eine Videoreihe mit Testimonials wurde gedreht, die Freiwilligen werden bspw. auch als Betatester miteinbezogen, um nur einige Aktivitäten des Community Managements zu nen-nen.
Nach dem erfolgreichen Crowdsourcing-Projekt mit Swissair-Pensionär:innen (2009–2013) ist das Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek also seit über 10 Jahren im Crowdsourcing mit anhaltendem Erfolg aktiv. Das «Wissen der Vielen» ist eine wichtige Bereicherung unserer Bildmetadaten. Die relativ anspruchsvolle Betreuung der Freiwilligen zahlt sich für uns nach wie mehr als aus.

Material examined. None.
Distribution. Japan.
Host. Neocallichirus jousseaumei (Nobili, 1904) (type host) and Paratrypaea bouvieri (Nobili, 1904).
Remarks. The males and females of this species appear very similar to those of Ionella murchisoni Danforth, 1970 and Danforth (1970a) actually compared and contrasted the two species although he did not transfer P. compressa to Ionella. Based on Shiino’s (1964b) description and figures, we herein transfer P. compressa to Ionella. Examination of specimens, ideally from the vicinity of the type locality, is needed to confirm details of the morphology and to determine the relationship of I. compressa to other species of Ionella.

description: Celebrities hold a unique status in the public eye, drawing an abundance of attention and influence, sometimes to the extent that they themselves find overwhelming. Yet, for brands, this level of attention is a coveted asset. Celebrities serve as a dependable means for brands to achieve heightened visibility in the market. In today's world, gaining popularity equates to acquiring a superpower, one that enables the capacity to shape public opinion, influence minds, and earn the trust of millions. Such a position is precisely where brands aspire to be. Celebrities establish a profound connection with the public, rooted in trust, belief, affection, and a dedicated following. People often aspire to emulate their beloved celebrities, seeking an association with these iconic figures, yearning for shared experiences with their favorite stars, and envisioning a life akin to theirs. This emulation extends to celebrity-inspired attire, footwear, makeup styles, hairdos, personal grooming, and more

description: Limit cycle oscillations are phenomena of nonlinear dynamical systems characterized by a periodic, locally-stable and self-sustained state trajectory of the system. While these phenomena naturally emerge in many applications, systems controlled in closed-loop along a periodic trajectory can also be considered as limit cycles. In this work, local dynamics around the limit cycle are subjected to a coordinate transformation via transversal surfaces and modelled as a periodic system with respect to the location on the limit cycle. A linear periodically parameter-varying model is identified from trajectory data using basis function decomposition or kernel methods Identification method is tested on examples of simple benchmark nonlinear systems as well as simulation and experiment data from airborne wind energy applications.

Experimental Verification of Energy Control in Buildings with Thermal and Visual Constraints

description: About one-third of the total energy used in Switzerland can be attributed to space heating and cooling, which makes this area an attractive target for potential energy-saving solutions. Simply heating less would be an easy solution, but not a very attractive one. People expect a certain level of comfort when being inside a building, which is why it is crucial to develop methods that can achieve energy savings while preserving or even improving the user's comfort level.

Using model predictive control we could improve thermal comfort when compared to conventional rule-based controllers, while at the same time consuming less energy. Additionally, it also allows us to consider other comfort-related aspects, such as visual comfort. Through the use of data gathered using special HDR cameras capable of measuring the Daylight Glare Probability we can derive models for the MPC to predict visual comfort. With this we can minimize glaring and thus improve visual comfort.

In this thesis, we show numerically how well such an MPC would works to reduce thermal and visual comfort. These numbers are derived from simulations based on data collected by the SolAce unit of the NEST building at Empa. In those experiments, we can see that the different MPC configurations significantly outperform their RBC counterparts, while improving energy consumption. Additionally, we also perform an experimental validation of this controller applied to the real SolAce unit and qualitatively evaluate the results. There we can see that the MPC behaves as expected, while also addressing some of the challenges when trying to apply control solutions to a real system.

description: In the traditional system identification techniques, a priori model structure is widely assumed to be available and the unknown parameters of the assumed model structure are estimated by maximizing the adherence of the assumed model structure to the experimental data. However, selecting the model structure can be problematic, sometimes leading to overfitting.

Recent developments in the regularization based system identification methods, which are inspired from the fields of machine learning and statistics, showed promising results in avoiding the overfitting in non-parametric identification. For instance, the objective function of the atomic-norm regularized identification problem consists of two terms: one promotes the adherence, while the other promotes a low-order model. However, the regularization approaches might induce biased estimations depending on the regularizer function which result in a decrease in the estimation performance. Hence, the aim of this thesis is to investigate the debiasing strategies for the regularized identification techniques.

This thesis extends the novel atomic-norm regularized identification problem, by using the recent developments in the sparse estimations for high-dimensional statistics to improve the bias property of the estimation, while increasing the quality of identification. For this purpose, the adaptive selection of the penalization parameters via the adaptive lasso and non-convex penalties, and the filtering of the noise variables via the bootstrapping-based stability selection techniques are proved to be useful for the optimization over the uniformly discretized and fixed atomic set. The thesis also investigates the effect of the adaptively generated atomic set, which is iteratively constructed by controlling the atom selection process via prefiltering of the random-uniformly generated atomic set using the baseline estimator and its optimality condition.

Type.
China • Xizang Autonomous Region: Medog County, Damu Xiang, Km 80 on Zhamo Road, epiphytic on trees in evergreen broad-leaved forest; 29°40'59.9"N, 95°30'6.3"E; 2191 m elev.; 3 January 2020 (fl.); Yi-Hua Tong & Bing-Mou Wang TYH- 2363 (holotype IBSC, isotypes IBSC, PE).
Diagnosis.
This new variety differs from the nominate variety in having smaller leaves (1.1–1.8 × 0.5–0.7 cm) with an acute apex, nearly transverse secondary veins, puberulent peduncle and shorter corollas (9–12 mm).
Etymology.
The variety epithet is derived from its small leaves compared with the nominate variety. The Chinese name is given as 小叶伞花树萝卜 (Chinese pinyin: xiǎo yè sǎn huā shù luó bo).
Distribution and habitat.
This species is currently known only from the type locality, Medog County, Xizang, China. It grows on the tree trunks under broadleaved forests at elevations of 2190–2700 m.
Phenology.
The new variety flowers in November to January the next year and fruits in May to July.

Taxonomic notes.
This new variety looks very much like a smaller version of the nominate variety. Although the nominate variety is also distributed in Medog County (Huang 1986), its distribution area is a little more south compared to that of A. forrestii var. parvifolia, and no overlapping area was found (Fig. 2). This species also has potential ornamental values, due to its showy carmine corollas with short green lobes at apex.
