description: 4. Embelia gardneriana Wight (1848: 1208)
 Lectotype (designated here):— INDIA: Western slope of Sispara, s. ann., Wight, R. s. n. (K barcode K000756502 [digital image!]), isolectotype: (K barcode K000756501 [digital image!], K000756503 [digital image!]). Fig. 2
 Wight (1848) collected and described the species E. gardneriana from western slopes of Sispara, Nilgiri and named the species in the honor of Mr. Gardner of Ceylon (who accompanied him and collected the first flowering specimen). According to Stafleu and Cowan (1988) type specimens of Wight is available at K and further materials at A, ADB and B. Authors found three specimens available in K two with HRWP label (Herb. R. Wight. Prop) annotated by Wight (K000756502, K000756503) and one by Gardner (K000756501), who collected the specimen while accompanying Wight while collecting the specimen. Moreover, Noltie (2005) stated the same in his work “ Botany of Robert Wight”. Hence, the specimen with barcode no. K000756502 is designated here as lectotype.

description: We present ALMA Band 6 observations of the CO(2-1), HCN(3-2), and HCO$^{+}$(3-2) lines in the nearby radio galaxy / brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of NGC 1275 with the spatial resolution of $\sim20$ pc. In the previous observations, CO(2-1) emission was detected as radial filaments lying in the east-west direction. We resolved the inner filament and found that the filament cannot be represented by a simple infalling stream both morphologically and kinematically. The observed complex nature of the filament resembles the cold gas structure predicted by recent numerical simulations of cold chaotic accretion. A crude estimate suggests that the accretion rate of the cold gas can be higher than that of hot gas. Within the central 100 pc, we detected a rotational disk of the molecular gas whose mass is $\sim10^{8} M_{\sun}$. This is the first evidence of the presence of massive cold gas disk on this spatial scale for BCGs. The disk rotation axis is approximately consistent with the axis of the radio jet on subpc scales. This probably suggests that the cold gas disk is physically connected to the innermost accretion disk which is responsible for jet launching. We also detected absorption features in the HCN(3-2) and HCO$^{+}$(3-2) spectra against the radio continuum emission mostly radiated by $\sim1.2$-pc size jet. The absorption features are blue-shifted from the systemic velocity by $\sim$300-600~km~s$^{-1}$, which suggests the presence of outflowing gas from the active galactic nucleus (AGN). We discuss the relation of the AGN feeding with cold accretion, the origin of blue-shifted absorption, and estimate of black hole mass using the molecular gas dynamics.

Carbon Flashes in the Heavy Element Ocean on Accreting Neutron Stars

description: We show that burning of a small mass fraction of carbon in a neutron star ocean is thermally unstable at low accumulated masses when the ocean contains heavy ashes from the hydrogen burning rapid proton (rp) process. The key to early unstable ignition is the low thermal conductivity of a heavy element ocean. The instability requires accretion rates in excess of one-tenth the Eddington limit when the carbon mass fraction is 0.1 or less. The unstable flashes release 10^{42} to 10^{43} ergs over hours to days, and are likely the cause of the recently discovered large Type I X-ray bursts (so-called ``superbursts'') from six Galactic low mass X-ray binaries. In addition to explaining the energetics, recurrence times, and durations of the superbursts, these mixed carbon/heavy element flashes have an accretion rate dependence of unstable burning similar to that observed. Though the instability is present at accretion rates near Eddington, there is less contrast with the accretion luminosity there, explaining why most detections are made at accretion rates between 0.1 and 0.3 Eddington. Future comparisons of time dependent calculations with observations will provide new insights into the rp process.

description: Background: Neuroinflammation and human endogenous retroviruses (HERV) are thought to have a role in the pathophysiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Therapy directed against endogenous retroviruses has demonstrated positive effects during in vitro and biomarker studies. Consequently, the present study was undertaken to assess the safety and tolerability of long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART), Triumeq (abacavir, lamivudine, and dolutegravir) exposure in patients with ALS, and efficacy against biomarkers of disease progression. Methods: Patients were observed during a 10-week lead-in period before receiving Triumeq treatment for 24 weeks at four specialist ALS centers. The primary outcomes were safety and tolerability. Secondary outcomes included HERV-K expression levels, urinary p75ECD levels, neurophysiological parameters, and clinical indicators. The ENCALS prediction model was applied to provide an estimate of the cohort survival. The trial was registered (NCT02868580). Findings: 40 patients with ALS received Triumeq and 35 (88%) completed treatment. There were no drug-related serious adverse events; one patient was withdrawn from the study due to a drug-associated increase in liver enzymes. A favorable response on HERV-K expression levels was observed, accompanied by a decline in ALSFRS-R progression rate of 21.8% (95% CI −4.8%–48.6%) and the amount of urinary p75ECD measured. One patient died five months after stopping treatment, while five were expected to have died during the treatment period (interquartile range 2–8). Interpretation: Long-term Triumeq exposure was safe and well tolerated in this cohort. There was suggestive indication for a possible biological response in some pharmacodynamic and clinical biomarkers. A larger international phase 3 trial will be deployed to assess the effect of Triumeq on overall survival and disease progression. Funding: Funding was provided by the FightMND Foundation; MND Research Institute of Australia; MND Association, United Kingdom, and GSK. ViiV Healthcare provided the Triumeq.

description: We report the first determination of the absolute branching fractions of the X(3872) decays by globally analyzing the measurements provided by the Belle, BaBar, BESIII, and LHCb experiments. The branching fractions of X(3872) to pi^+pi^- J/psi and D*0D0bar+c.c. are found to be (4.1^{+1.9}_{-1.1})% and (52.4^{+25.3}_{-14.3})%, respectively. The branching fractions of the decays X(3872) to gamma J/psi, gamma psi', omega J/psi, and pi^0 chi_{c1} are also determined. The global fit implies that the fraction of X(3872) decays which are not observed in experiments is (31.9_{-31.5}^{+18.1})%, which indicates that there is still a lot of room for searching for new decay modes of the X(3872). With the branching fraction, we determine the production cross section of e+e- to gamma X(3872) at center-of-mass energy 4.226 GeV.

title: Minimal Language for Translatable Public Health Messaging: Mapping the Terrain

Year: 2023

subject: minimal language approach

description: This PhD thesis maps out how the minimal language approach (Goddard, 2018a, 2021b; Sadow, 2020; Wierzbicka, 2018b) can be applied to Australian public health posters to improve their accessibility and cross-translatability. The minimal language approach has roots in decades of cross-linguistic research and is a practical adaptation of the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM). It is designed to address communicative challenges in a diverse range of fields. Research (e.g., Szmuda et al., 2020) consistently finds that the wording of public health messages is inaccessible to the general population. While approaches such as Plain Language (e.g., Eagleson, 1998) are often implemented to combat accessibility problems, studies indicate that the effectiveness of such approaches can vary (Kauchak & Leroy, 2016). Scholars have therefore called for a more systematic, research-based and linguistic approach to public health messaging (Burns & Kim, 2011). The translatability of English language health messages has also been highlighted as something that deserves more dedicated linguistic research (e.g., Dew et al., 2018). Translations of health messages are often found to be inaccessible, lacking and flawed (Dawood, 2022; Pym et al., 2022). Scholars have identified a need to decentre English monolingual ideologies (Zhang & Wu, 2020), and to author English health messages so they are optimised for translation to foster better and more efficient outcomes (Goddard, 2019). Further, while scholars agree that some visuals help aid understanding of health messages (e.g., Manno et al., 2018; Park, Zuniga, & Lee, 2016), research into this topic is scarce. To capture the full, polysemiotic scope of public health posters, this thesis proposes a novel, transdisciplinary framework that combines the minimal language approach with insights from cognitive semiotics and translation theory. Guided by this theoretical framework, a five-part empirical investigation was undertaken. [...]

description: We study the generation and maintenance of large-scale magnetic fields in barred galaxies. We take a velocity field (with strong noncircular components) from a published gas dynamical simulation of Athanassoula (1992), and use this as input to a galactic dynamo calculation. Our work is largely motivated by recent high quality VLA radio observations of the barred galaxy NGC 1097, and we compare our results in detail with the regular magnetic fields deduced from these observations. We are able to reproduce most of the conspicuous large-scale features of the observed regular field, including the field structure in the central regions, by using a simple mean-field dynamo model in which the intensity of interstellar turbulence (more precisely, the turbulent diffusivity) is enhanced by a factor of 2-6 in the dust lanes and near the circumnuclear ring. We argue that magnetic fields can be dynamically important, and therefore should be included in models of gas flow in barred galaxies.

description: Introduction: Cardiovascular disorders such as heart failure, account for a significant proportion of morbidity and mortality across the globe. The mechanism driving heart failure is complex and can arise from several different pathological events, including a myocardial infarction; ultimately resulting in excessive fibrosis of the heart and a substantial reduction in cardiac compliance. Elevation in inflammatory mediators such as cortisol and TGF-β1 have been implicated in the progression of heart failure, and their interactions with one of the primary cell types of the heart, the cardiac fibroblast, has been linked to an increase in cardiac fibrosis. The cardiac fibroblast, while it plays a substantial role in wound repair and fibrosis, its activity is upregulated under stress when it is transformed to a myofibroblast phenotype. While TGF-β1 signalling on cardiac fibroblast and its effect on transforming cardiac fibroblasts to myofibroblasts is well defined the role of cortisol in heart failure and specifically on fibroblast function has not been studied. Nor has any interactions between the two compounds been explored in an in vitro model. Experimental Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the stress and inflammatory mediators, cortisol and TGF-β1, on cell metabolic activity and cytotoxicity measured using an MTT, CCK-8, LDH assays and an object count via plate reader. The RNA expression of fibrosis genes and protein expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) was also measured, using NanoString nCounter analysis and western blot respectively. All of these experiments were completed using primary human cardiac fibroblasts, with the purpose of determining the interaction between stress and inflammatory mediators on cardiac fibroblast function to establish a possible contributor to the pathology of heart failure.

title: Residue Management and Carbon and Nutrient Cycling in Exotic Pine Plantations of Southeast Queensland
Creators: name: Tutua, Shane Sarere
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2009

description: In Southeast Queensland, Australia, future wood production from exotic pines will rely heavily on second-rotation plantations. This increases the importance of sustaining soil fertility through logging or harvest residue retention for soil organic matter (SOM) maintenance in forest plantations. However, a greater understanding of harvest residues and their impact is essential to fully realise the potential of harvest residue management as an integral component of sustainable production forestry. Therefore, this study examined the nature of harvest residues, their decomposition and nutrient release dynamics, and the short- and long-term impacts of the residues on soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) pools, tree nutrition, growth and productivity in exotic pine plantations of Toolara State forest (26 degrees 00' South, 152 degrees 49' East), Maryborough districy, southeast Queensland.

description: We present results from high-resolution N-Body/SPH simulations of rotationally supported dwarf irregular galaxies moving on bound orbits in the massive dark matter halo of the Milky Way.The dwarf models span a range in disk surface density and the masses and sizes of their dark halos are consistent with the predictions of cold dark matter cosmogonies. We show that the strong tidal field of the Milky Way determines severe mass loss in their halos and disks and induces bar and bending instabilities that transform low surface brightness dwarfs (LSBs) into dwarf spheroidals (dSphs) and high surface brightness dwarfs (HSBs) into dwarf ellipticals (dEs) in less than 10 Gyr. The final central velocity dispersions of the remnants are in the range 8-30 km/s and their final $v/σ$ falls to values $< 0.5$, matching well the kinematics of early-type dwarfs. The transformation requires the orbital time of the dwarf to be $\simlt 3-4$ Gyr, which implies a halo as massive and extended as predicted by hierarchical models of galaxy formation to explain the origin of even the farthest dSph satellites of the Milky Way, Leo I and Leo II. Only dwarfs with central dark matter densities as high as those of Draco and Ursa Minor can survive for 10 Gyr in the proximity of the Milky Way: this is naturally achieved within hierarchical models, where the densest objects should have small orbital times due to their early formation epochs. Part of the gas is stripped and part is funneled to the center due to the bar, generating one strong burst of star formation in HSBs and smaller, multiple bursts in LSBs. Extended low-surface brightness stellar and gaseous streams originate from LSBs and, when projected along the line of sight, can lead to overestimate the mass-to-light ratio of the bound remnant by a factor $\simlt 2$,

title: The Distributional Implications of Climate Policies Under Uncertainty

Subjects: subject: 330 Wirtschaft

description: Promoting the decarbonization of economic activity through climate policies raises many questions. From a macroeconomic perspective, it is important to understand how these policies perform under uncertainty, how they affect short-run dynamics and to what extent they have distributional effects. In addition, uncertainties directly associated with climate policies, such as uncertainty about the carbon budget or emission intensities, become relevant aspects. We study the implications of emission reduction schemes within a Two-Agent New-Keynesian (TANK) model. This quantitative exercise, based on data for the German economy, provides various insights. In the light of frictions and fluctuations, compared to other instruments, a carbon price (i.e. tax) is associated with lower volatility in output and consumption. In terms of aggregate welfare, price instruments are found to be preferable. Conditional on the distribution of revenues from climate policies, quantity instruments can exert regressive effects, posing a larger economic loss on wealth-poor households, whereas price instruments are moderately progressive. Finally, we find that unexpected changes in climate policies can induce substantial aggregate adjustments. With uncertainty about the carbon budget, the costs of adjustment are larger under quantity instruments.

description: Transient growth due to non-normality is investigated for the Taylor-Couette problem with counter-rotating cylinders as a function of aspect ratio eta and Reynolds number Re. For all Re < 500, transient growth is enhanced by curvature, i.e. is greater for eta < 1 than for eta = 1, the plane Couette limit. For fixed Re < 130 it is found that the greatest transient growth is achieved for eta between the Taylor-Couette linear stability boundary, if it exists, and one, while for Re > 130 the greatest transient growth is achieved for eta on the linear stability boundary. Transient growth is shown to be approximately 20% higher near the linear stability boundary at Re = 310, eta = 0.986 than at Re = 310, eta = 1, near the threshold observed for transition in plane Couette flow. The energy in the optimal inputs is primarily meridional; that in the optimal outputs is primarily azimuthal. Pseudospectra are calculated for two contrasting cases. For large curvature, eta = 0.5, the pseudospectra adhere more closely to the spectrum than in a narrow gap case, eta = 0.99.

description: Religion has been largely overlooked in the study of clothing trades and fashion consumerism in the dress history of colonial Australia. While the majority of colonial society used fashionable dress to display wealth and rank, for plain religious sects such as Quakers (the Religious Society of Friends) rejecting fashion signalled their morality. Australian Quakers' relationships with fashion in their personal wardrobes or businesses are underexplored. In the nineteenth century, three generations of the Mather family were respected drapers, philanthropists and members of a staunch Quaker sect in Hobart, Tasmania, the stronghold of colonial Australian Quakerism. This thesis examines how Quaker belief was performed in the Mather drapery shops by exploring the Quaker notion of consistency between internal beliefs and outward practices, and the prerogative of Quakers to act as moral role models for society. It demonstrates how the Mather family drapers upheld their religious testimonies of plainness, pacifism and integrity while maintaining successful stores. This thesis reasserts the agency of Quaker retailers in the clothing choices of non-Quakers. Research was conducted from an interdisciplinary 'new dress history' and material religion approach. Sources included dress objects, correspondence, diaries, photographs and advertising. Pierre Bourdieu's notion of habitus was applied to explore the way Quaker belief and discipline created a moral atmosphere in the drapery store, and Michel Foucault's theory of panopticism accounted for how this atmosphere was projected on to Hobart society through their customers as a disciplinary strategy. This thesis argues that underlying the negotiation of faith and fashion was the drapers' desire for the improvement or perfectibility of society through selling certain kinds of dress. I have called the process by which this occurred 'convinced consumption'. This is the first study of colonial Australian Quaker drapers, making it an original contribution to Australian dress history and Quaker studies.

Clues about the Star Formation History of the M31 Disk from WFPC2 Photometry

description: Over the past several years, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has acquired many broad-band images of various regions in the M31 disk. I have obtained 27 such fields from the HST data archive in order to produce color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of the stellar populations contained within these areas of the disk. I have attempted to reproduce these CMDs using theoretical stellar evolution models in conjunction with statistical tools for determining the star formation history which best fits the observations. The wide range of extinction values within any given field makes the data difficult to accurately reproduce; nevertheless, I have managed to find star formation histories which roughly reproduce the data. These statistically determined star formation histories reveal that, like the disk of the Galaxy, the disk of M31 contains very few old metal-poor stars. The histories also suggest that the star formation rate of the disk as a whole has been low over the past ~1 Gyr.

Abstract
 Manufacturing influenza virus vaccines using a mammalian cell line rather than embryonated chicken eggs may carry certain advantages. A quadrivalent inactivated influenza virus vaccine produced using the Madin Darby canine kidney cell line has been approved in the EU (Flucelvax® Tetra) and USA (Flucelvax Quadrivalent®; QIVc hereafter) for the prevention of influenza in adults and children. The clinical development of QIVc has built upon that of a cell-based trivalent influenza virus vaccine (TIVc) manufactured using the same processes; the additional influenza B strain contained in QIVc reduces the risk of the strain in the vaccine not matching that in circulation. Pivotal phase III clinical trials in adult and paediatric participants have demonstrated the immunogenicity of QIVc to be noninferior to that of TIVc formulations against shared strains and superior against the influenza B strain absent from each TIVc formulation. Protective efficacy data for TIVc is considered foundational for QIVc and, in a phase III clinical trial, TIVc was effective in protecting adults against antigenically matched influenza strains. Large real-world studies from the 2017/2018 US influenza season further support the prophylactic effectiveness of QIVc, with possible benefits over egg-based vaccines. QIVc was generally well tolerated in clinical trials. In adult and paediatric QIVc recipients, the most common solicited adverse reactions were injection site pain and headache. Reactogenicity was comparable to that of TIVc; no safety signals unique to QIVc emerged. Through circumventing concerns around egg adaptation, QIVc has the potential to be more effective than currently available egg-based quadrivalent vaccines.

 Roxburgh collected a specimen of Embelia with seeds from Rajmahal hills, which is bloomed after six years (in then Royal Botanical Garden, Howrah). Based on his collections from Rajmahal hills he proposed a name E. robusta (nom. nud.) in Hortus Bengalensis. Later, the name is validly published in Flora Indica by Roxburgh (1824). Our search in BM is resulted in a sheet with catalogue number BM000997142 bearing three twigs, one on top just with leaves and two twigs on bottom with fruits annotated as ‘Type specimen’ and “ Embelia robusta Roxburgh 1813 ”. Hence, the specimen perfectly matches with the protologue, the specimen BM000997142 is designated here as lectotype.

description: We analyze the stability of scalarized charged black holes in the Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar (EMS) theory with quadratic coupling. These black holes are labelled by the number of $n=0,1,2,\cdots$, where $n=0$ is called the fundamental black hole and $n=1,2,\cdots$ denote the $n$-excited black holes. We show that the $n=0$ black hole is stable against full perturbations, whereas the $n=1,2$ excited black holes are unstable against the $s(l=0)$-mode scalar perturbation. This is consistent with the EMS theory with exponential coupling, but it contrasts to the $n=0$ scalarized black hole in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-Scalar theory with quadratic coupling. This implies that the endpoint of unstable Reissner-Nordström black holes with $α>8.019$ is the $n=0$ black hole with the same $q$. Furthermore, we study the scalarized charged black holes in the EMS theory with scalar mass $m^2_ϕ=α/β$.

description: China's model works, the so-called `eight great model works' are rarely thought of as `literature', not only because they are of course, performance works, but because they are not thought of in the normative sense as a form of dramatic literature, but as a form of propaganda. This thesis investigates the relationship between propaganda and art by concentrating on the texts of these works and, in particular, by analysing the structure of a narrative type which is not just a blueprint for dramatic texts but a design for the Chinese revolutionary narrative, as embodied in Mao Zedong's key utterances on literature and art, and `told' or enacted, by the campaign to reform Beijing opera undertaken by his wife, Jiang Qing. In order to understand the precise nature of this narrative, and its relationship with theatre and the broader political arena of the Cultural Revolution, an analysis is undertaken of literary theory in both the Soviet Union and China, followed by an analysis of the aesthetic at work in the particular combinations of realism and romanticism which were discussed and implemented in each country. After a detailed examination of the way the campaign to reform Beijing opera was conducted, including the promulgation and `display' of key documents and speeches by Mao and Jiang Qing, sample texts are analysed according to a method which illustrates the design of the narrative. These texts, and the model works in general, are then considered in relation to some general observations about genres of mythology and their relationship with folklore. Finally, a particular `dramatic' relationship is suggested between the narrative design of the models, and the conduct of the Cultural Revolution itself. In the course of this, the notion of mythology is discussed in the context of its complex relationship with ideology and popular culture, as identified by Roland Barthes in particular, with his often enigmatic emphasis on the `semiology' of myth. The complex blend of cultural theories which may be brought to bear on this discussion is re-visited, with a view to understanding the model works as a genre of `proletarian' mythology which might yet survive the Cultural Revolution as a substantive dramatic genre. In conclusion, the relationship between theatre, narrative and semiotics is pursued, in attempting to establish a key difference between the aesthetic `method' employed in the model works and that of socialist realism. This difference, it is argued, is the product of a basic approach to mythic romanticism which preserves the essential traditions of Beijing opera, and makes the models legitimate heir to this tradition, in spite of the bitter memories of the Cultural Revolution and its tragic campaigns.
Construction of Non-Perturbative, Unitary Particle-Antiparticle Amplitudes for Finite Particle Number Scattering Formalisms

description: Starting from a unitary, Lorentz invariant two-particle scattering amplitude , we show how to use an identification and replacement process to construct a unique, unitary particle-antiparticle amplitude. This process differs from conventional on-shell Mandelstam s,t,u crossing in that the input and constructed amplitudes can be off-diagonal and off-energy shell. Further, amplitudes are constructed using the invariant parameters which are appropriate to use as driving terms in the multi-particle, multichannel non-perturbative, cluster decomposable, relativistic scattering equations of the Faddeev-type integral equations recently presented by Alfred, Kwizera, Lindesay and Noyes. It is therefore anticipated that when so employed, the resulting multi-channel solutions will also be unitary. The process preserves the usual particle-antiparticle symmetries. To illustrate this process, we construct a J=0 scattering length model chosen for simplicity. We also exhibit a class of physical models which contain a finite quantum mass parameter and are Lorentz invariant. These are constructed to reduce in the appropriate limits, and with the proper choice of value and sign of the interaction parameter, to the asymptotic solution of the non-relativistic Coulomb problem, including the forward scattering singularity, the essential singularity in the phase, and the Bohr bound-state spectrum.

description: Aqueous proton transport at interfaces is ubiquitous and crucial for a number of fields, ranging from cellular transport and signaling, to catalysis and membrane science. However, due to their light mass, small size and high chemical reactivity, uncovering single proton surface transport at room temperature and in aqueous environment has so far remained out-of-reach of conventional atomic-scale surface science techniques, such as STM. Here, we use single-molecule localization microscopy techniques to resolve optically the transport of individual excess protons at the interface of hexagonal boron nitride crystals and aqueous solutions at room temperature. Our label-free approach relies on the successive protonation and activation of optically active defects at the surface of the crystal allowing us to resolve interfacial proton transport at the single molecule scale with nanometric resolution and over micrometer range. Proton trajectories are revealed as a succession of jumps between proton-binding defects, mediated by interfacial water. We demonstrate unexpected interfacial proton mobility under illumination, limited by proton desorption from individual defects. The proposed mechanism is supported by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of defected and pristine hBN/water interface. Our observations provide direct experimental evidence at the single molecule scale that interfacial water provides a preferential pathway for lateral proton transport. Our findings have fundamental and general implications for water-mediated molecular charge transport at interfaces.

description: 8. Embelia viridiflora Scheffer (1867: 45)
 Lectotype (designated here):— INDONESIA, Java, s. ann., Blume s. n. (L, L.2635885, https://data.biodiversitydata.nl/naturalis/specimen/ L.2635885; isolectotype: L [L.2635884], https://data.biodiversitydata.nl/naturalis/specimen/ L.2635884). Fig. 5
 Scheffer (1867), proposed a new combination E. viridiflora based on the collection of Blume, Kuhl and van Hasselt from Java. Based on Stafleu & Cowan (1976, 1979), we could trace the specimens of Blume, Kuhl and van Hasselt from Java that were cited in protologue. The specimen L.2635884 collected by Kuhl and van Hasselt possesses leaf, a pocket and tickets. The second specimen L.2635885 collected by Blume depicts flowering twig’s, a pocket and labels. Hence, the specimens match with the protologue here we designate the specimen with barcode no. L.2635885 as lectotype.

description: The proliferation of online media has sparked the development of non-linear video forms, which allow for the variation of moving image sequences according to user input or other variables. In order to explore both the technological and artistic possibilities of non-linear video, this thesis introduces the idea of generative editing for music videos, building on previous developments in generative art and metacreation. As a first step, a conceptual framework was defined comprising investigations into artistic movements in non-linear video, media studies on generative and interactive art, and an analysis of music video. These concepts served to support the subsequent development of algorithmic approaches to music video editing and their implementation and testing in Dividation, a prototype software system utilised to explore generative music video editing methods using the author’s original artwork. While most non-linear videos tend to emphasise user interactivity, the development of Dividation aimed to derive generative methods capable of creating a different sequence every time the video is viewed, without the need for user input. For this purpose, the role of automation and randomness as means to generate variability in a renewed creative process was closely examined. In addition, the possibility of formulating editing dynamics was analysed, and the potential of this creative practice was explored. Music video analyses conducted as part of this study have shown that generative editing methods need to be part of an open system allowing editors to be involved in the specification of individual progressive requirements for any given music video. While the possibility of videographic notation or any other future systematic description of editing practice has been considered, the results have also shown that editing practice is currently most successful when relying on substantial human input because music videos depend on a large number of parameters describing both musical and visual features and their changing interplay in these sequences. With these ideas in mind, the development of the generative editing methods for Dividation was based on a bottom-up approach, with the author’s editing practice and experience guiding the process.
Tumbling in nematic polymers and liquid crystals

description: Most, but not all, liquid crystals tend to align when subject to shear flow, while most nematic polymeric liquid crystals undergo a tumbling instability, where the director rotate with the flow. The reasons of this instability remain elusive, as it is possible to find similar molecules exhibiting opposite behaviors. We propose a theory suitable for describing a wide range of material behaviors, ranging form nematic elastomers to nematic polymers and nematic liquid crystals, where the physical origins of tumbling emerge clearly. There are two possible ways to relax the internal stress in a nematic material. The first is the reorganization of the polymer network, the second is the alignment of the network natural axis with respect to the principal direction of the effective strain. Tumbling occurs whenever the second mechanism is less efficient than the first and this is measured by a single material parameter $ξ$. Furthermore, we provide a justification of the experimental fact that at high temperatures, in an isotropic phase, only flow alignment is observed and no tumbling is possible, even in polymers.
