Ce taxon n’est pas signalé des secteurs Tenda et OspedaleCagna par Flora Corsica (voir JEANMONOD & GAMISANS Fl. Corsica, ed. 2: 593, 2013) mais il avait été pourtant récolté par Bonfils au Monte Filettu près de la première localité où nous l’avons observé (voir LITARDIÈRE, Candollea 15: 39, 1955). Il semble finalement plus fréquent en Corse que les deux autres sous-espèces de Th. tartonraira, au moins de nos jours. BRIQUET & LITARDIÈRE (Prodr. Fl. Corse 3: 5, 1938) en citaient déjà 7 stations, soit presque autant que pour le subsp. tartonraira, à ceci près que cette dernière s’est beaucoup moins bien maintenue. L’éclipse apparente du subsp. transiens dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, alors que probablement aucune population n’a disparu, pourrait être explicable par sa discrétion: ses populations sont constituées d’individus dispersés dans des maquis, contrairement aux deux autres taxons qui forment des groupes bien visibles en biotopes ouverts. Les plantes de Ventilegne présentent une largeur de feuilles entrant dans la variabilité du subsp. transiens, même si certains individus à feuilles assez larges montrent une tendance vers le subsp. tartonraira. La pilosité, quant à elle, correspond bien aux caractéristiques du subsp. transiens et il nous semble opportun de rattacher la population à ce taxon. Les individus de la Punta Calcina, malgré l’altitude basse et la proximité du littoral, ont la morphologie typique du subsp. transiens.

Wesley Lake restoration, 'dredging the western third'
Creators: name: No Name Supplied

description: Wesley Lake has been a recreational lake since the 1870's. In the 1890's it wasestimated that over 500,000 people crossed the bridges that link Ocean Grovewith Asbury Park, and, at that time there were over 530 boats on the lake. Due to aneconomic downturn in Asbury Park and the shore area during the 1970's and1980's, the lake has been neglected. The result is that the lake is approximately50% filled with silt and sediment and therefore can only support a few smallrowboats and canoes on the eastern end at the present time. It is imperativethat Wesley Lake be dredged to allow boating, fishing and general recreation to return in full force. The first step is to dredge the western third, the worst section since it is virtually full.In addition to documentation of community support for lake restoration efforts, the proposal features several actions for accomplishing this goal including dredging, landscaping, storm drainage, and education.

Femina: Rufo-testacea, supra pallide fusca, pubescentia ctnerascenti-sericea, pilositate sparsa fere obsoleta; antennis pedibusque testaceo-pallescentlbus; mandibulis rugosis, conspicue punctatis; elypeo cum area frontali subtilissime rugulosis, nitidis; oculis hirtulis; alis hyalinis, basin versus brunnescentibus, nervis cum stigmate subflavescentibus; squama subrectangulari, supra integra. Long. 2 2/3 lin.
Das Weibchen dieser Art unterscheidet sich von der F. flava leicht durch hellere Färbung des Körpers, einen breiteren Kopf und die noch kürzeren Borstenhaare. Die Färbung ist blofs auf Stirn und Scheitel, dem Rücken des Mittelleibs und am Hinterleib (mit Ausnahme des 2ten Segments an der Basis) schwach bräunlich, sonst überall gelblich, Fühler und Beine überdiefg rein gelb. Die Mandibeln sind roth, stärker aber nicht so dicht runzlig und auch stärker punktirt als bei F. flava. Der Clypeus und das nach oben nicht scharf abgegrenzte Stirnfeld sehr fein runzlig und punktirt, daher etwas glänzend. Die Stirnrinne sehr schwach; die Augen deutlich behaart. Kopf und Mittelleib stark röthlich durchscheinend mit sehr kurzen und nicht leicht in die Augen fallenden Borstenhaaren bekleidet, der erstre etwas breiter als der Mittelleib und am Hinterhaupt deutlich ausgebuchtet (bei F. flava ist der Kopf schmäler als der Mittelleib und am Hinterhaupt fast grade abgeschnitten, Merkmale, wodurch beide Arten sich auf den ersten Blick unterscheiden lassen). Die Flügel verhältnifsmäfsig breiter und von der Basis bis zur Mitte hin auch intensiver gelbräunlich gefärbt als bei der flava, die Adern und das Randmal gelblich, erstre nach der Spitze des Flügels hin blasser, die Unterrandader braun. Die lste Diskoidalzelle ist fast quadratisch, während sie bei F. flava offenbar mehr trapezoidisch erscheint. Die Schuppe fast rectangulär, oben nicht ausgerandet, am Rande gewimpert. Der Hinterleib am dunkelsten gefaerbt, das lste Segment mit der Schuppe rothgelb, das 2te blofs an der Basis,.die übrigen bräunlich, mit äufsert dichter, anliegender Behaarung, und einem grauen Seidenschimmer; die auf dem Rücken der Segmente befindlichen Borstenhaare äufserst kurz, zerstreut und nur schwierig zu erkennen, aber die Borsten am Hinterrande der Segmente etwas länger und deutlicher.
2 Weibchen habe ich in hiesiger Gegend gefangen, kann aber die Lokalität nicht bestimmt angeben. Nylander gibt auch von dem Männchen und dem Arbeiter eine kurze Karakteristik, (1. c. pag. 1050 et 1051) die aber nicht ausreicht um den spezifischen Karakter genügend festzustellen.

Probability-weighted ensembles of U.S. county-level climate projections for climate risk analysis: Dataset README

description: This document is the README for the complete dataset.Quantitative assessment of climate change risk requires a method for constructing probabilistic time series of changes in physical climate parameters. Here, we develop two such methods, Surrogate/Model Mixed Ensemble (SMME) and Monte Carlo Pattern/Residual (MCPR), and apply them to construct joint probability density functions (PDFs) of temperature and precipitation change over the 21st century for every county in the United States. Both methods produce likely (67% probability) temperature and precipitation projections consistent with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's interpretation of an equal-weighted Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) ensemble, but also provide full PDFs that include tail estimates. For example, both methods indicate that, under representative concentration pathway (RCP) 8.5, there is a 5% chance that the contiguous United States could warm by at least 8°C. Variance decomposition of SMME and MCPR projections indicate that background variability dominates uncertainty in the early 21st century, while forcing-driven changes emerge in the second half of the 21st century. By separating CMIP5 projections into unforced and forced components using linear regression, these methods generate estimates of unforced variability from existing CMIP5 projections without requiring the computationally expensive use of multiple realizations of a single GCM.README file last updated by DJ Rasmussen (), dmr2-at-princeton-dot-edu, Wed Jul 13 14:00:55 PDT 2016PLEASE click on README on the left bar to view the README file for the complete Climate Projections Dataset.This data set is intended to accompany these studies:(1) T.

Late Deglacial (13.9 TO 8 KYR B.P.) records from the reef crest coral Acropora palmata in Barbados
Creators: name: Abdul, Nicole Allyson
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The radioactive isotopes of Uranium and Thorium obtained from fossil reef-crest corals Acropora palmata are used to constrain and reconstruct sea level at Barbados during the late deglaciation (13.9 to 8 kyr BP). We find that sea level tracked the climate oscillations remarkably well. Sea-level rise was fast in the early Allerød (25 mm yr-1), but decreased smoothly into the Younger Dryas (7 mm yr-1) when the rate plateaued to <4 mm yr-1here termed a sea-level “slow stand”. No evidence was found indicating a jump in sea level at the beginning of the Younger Dryas as proposed by some  researchers. Following the “slow-stand”, the rate of sea-level rise accelerated rapidly, producing the 14 ± 2 m sea-level jump known as MWP-1B; occurred between 11.45 and 11.1 kyr BP with peak sea-level rise reaching 40 mm yr-1. Following MWP-1B, sea-level rise rapidly decreased to 8 mm yr-1.  Sea surface temperatures (SST) were reconstructed at Barbados to constrain variability in the Atlantic Warm Pool (AWP) during the deglaciation. The same A. palmata samples used in Abdul et al. (2016) were analyzed for 18O. The sea level associated with each sample allowed a direction determination of the ice volume correction to δ18O data. Applying the δ18O-SST calibration (Reynaud et al., 2007), we find a warm tropical Atlantic, > 28.5oC during the Allerød. At the start of the Younger  Dryas, SSTs cooled by ~3o C possibly signaling a collapse of the large AWP. By 12.5 kyr BP, warming recommenced signaling re-establishment of the AWP at Barbados. I have laid the framework for future work on the Barbados coral collection. Reconstructing seasonality during different climate states (Bølling-Allerød vs. Younger Dryas vs. the Holocene) provides critical data for understanding how the AWP forced or responded at critical times. To quantify seasonality, high-resolution samples (~0.3 mm sample spacing using a micro-mill) on the banded coral Montastrea annularis were  analyzed. Preliminary results show that extension rates for M. annularis were low (< 5 mm yr-1) which limits temporal resolution but more importantly may introduce kinetic effects into the incorporation of stable isotopes into the coral skeleton.

On the Definition of Appropriate Trust and the Tools that Come with it

description: Evaluating the efficiency of human-AI interactions is challenging, including subjective and objective quality aspects. With the focus on the human experience of the explanations, evaluations of explanation methods have become mostly subjective, making comparative evaluations almost impossible and highly linked to the individual user. However, it is commonly agreed that one aspect of explanation quality is how effectively the user can detect if the predictions are trustworthy and correct, i.e., if the explanations can increase the user's appropriate trust in the model. This paper starts with the definitions of appropriate trust from the literature. It compares the definitions with model performance evaluation, showing the strong similarities between appropriate trust and model performance evaluation. The paper's main contribution is a novel approach to evaluating appropriate trust by taking advantage of the likenesses between definitions. The paper offers several straightforward evaluation methods for different aspects of user performance, including suggesting a method for measuring uncertainty and appropriate trust in regression.

description: This work studies films about indigenous populations made by non-indigenous and indigenous filmmakers in different moments of national crises in Perú and Bolivia, between 1930 and the first decade of the 2000s. I argue that what becomes visible and invisible in regards of indigenous populations is informed by ways of seeing and interpreting the (re)construction of nation according to concepts of race, gender, class, knowledge, time and space. Therefore, portrays of the indigenous in these films are the result of the impact of colonial/modern ideologies in shaping exclusive projects of nation formation at political, social and epistemological levels. The dissertation examines the conditions by which indigenous peoples have been seen, heard and recognized in their humanity as well as the ones by which filmmakers and places of enunciations as enacted in films hold the authority to represent them. Specifically, in regards of cinematographic productions made by non-indigenous, such as the works of José Velasco Maidana, Cine Club Kukuli, Jorge Ruiz, Jorge Sanjinés, Federico García Hurtado, Claudia Llosa, Icíar Bollaín, I assert that modern/colonial attitudes manage the voice, temporality and identity marks (defined according racial, gendered and class-based categories as installed by modernity) that result in portraying indigenous subjects as outsiders of history and unable to represent themselves politically or culturally. On the other hand, films that result of self-representation or are made in collaboration with indigenous organizations, such as the works of Fernando Valdivia, CEFREC or Chirapaq, intervene in modern concepts (such the ones mentioned above) that have defined externally these populations.  I conclude that visibilization of indigenous subjects in films made by non-indigenous filmmakers does not always equate to a recognition of them as citizens or active members of society. While visibilization opposes to lack of figuration, it does not guarantee a full recognition of indigenous subjects whose complexities continue to be reduced in terms of their failures to adapt to modernity. This is to say, these films do not result of an absolute erasure of the indigenous, neither do they make an unconditional acceptance of their difference. Unlike these movies, participatory indigenous cinema or projects of self-representation looks at politicizing indigenous presence by enacting ways of communal organizations and debates around own cultural and political agendas of self-determination.
Urban coastal flood mitigation strategies for the city of Hoboken & Jersey City, New Jersey

description: Coastal cities are undeniably vulnerable to climate change. Coastal storms combining with sea level rise have increased the risk of flooding and storm surge damage in coastal communities.   The communities of the City of Hoboken and Jersey City are low-lying areas along the Hudson River waterfront and the Newark Bay/Hackensack River with little or no relief. Flooding in these areas is a result of intense precipitation and runoff, tides and/or storm surges, or a combination of all of them. During Super-storm Sandy these communities experienced severe flooding and flood-related damage as a result of the storm surge.  Following the damage that was created on these communities by flooding from Sandy, this research was initiated in order to develop comprehensive strategies to make Hoboken and Jersey City more resilient to flooding. Commonly used flood measures like storage, surge barrier, conveyance, diversion, pumping, rainfall interception, etc. are examined, and the research is focused on their different combination to address different levels of flood risk at different scales.   Apart from the commonly used measures and their combination and placement, this research is expanded to evaluate a new approach in drainage management in densely populated areas. The main concept of a new flood measures for low-lying areas, namely, “Rainwater Driven Pump” (Guo Q. , Li, Kennish, Psuty, Lathrop, & Trimble, 2014), is investigated. Initial evaluations indicate their good potential in terms of availability of rainwater energy from the building tops and ground surfaces while estimating energy losses along the flow pathways.

description: An emerging explanation of poverty focuses on the attentional demands induced by a scarcity mindset and the effect of such demands on subsequent decision making. We build on this work by investigating the impact of resource scarcity on prosocial behavior. Specifically, we experimentally induce scarcity and then have agents play an indefinitely repeated prisoner's dilemma game in which individual and collective gains stand in conflict. Our findings suggest that relative to control participants, those experiencing scarcity are more likely to cooperate with each other and are more sensitive to reciprocity motivations. These results stand in direct conflict with the low levels of cooperation predicted by the existing bandwidth account of scarcity. We therefore propose an alternative account in which scarcity induces reciprocal altruism by altering an agent's expectations and beliefs about the behavior of others with whom they are interacting.
Physiological and biochemical factors associated with drought tolerance of Agrostis stolonifera

description: Drought stress is a primary factor limiting the growth and productivity of many plant species and is caused by lack of rainfall and declining availability of fresh water for irrigation. Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is a cool-season grass species commonly maintained as high-value turfgrass on golf courses across the world. As global climate change progresses, creeping bentgrass stands may be exposed to increased frequency of drought episodes or longer durations of drought stress. Therefore, a better understanding of the physiological and biochemical factors contributing to drought tolerance in creeping bentgrass may aid turfgrass managers in maintaining high-quality playing conditions when water for irrigation is limited. The goals of this research were to explore which physiological and biochemical factors are associated with drought tolerance of creeping bentgrass and how elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) may mitigate drought damages in this widely-utilized turfgrass species. This was accomplished in several studies which 1) investigated whether sequential exogenous applications of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and osmoregulants promote drought tolerance of creeping bentgrass under field conditions, 2) elucidated on the link between fatty acid metabolism in creeping bentgrass leaves and roots and the observed level of drought tolerance, and 3) explored the interactive effects of elevated CO2 and drought stress on growth, morphology, physiology, and biochemical properties such as protein, carbohydrate, and hormone metabolism of creeping bentgrass turfgrass. The potential implications of the research may help to improve efficacy for various aspects of turfgrass management such as efficient utilization of irrigation water and decreased need for supplementary chemicals including fertility and pesticides. The lessons derived from the research may have implications across many different turfgrass management aspects and provide turfgrass managers new techniques to maintain high-quality playing conditions at a lower economic cost and less environmental impact.
Extreme childhood
Creators: name: Bellorio, Gabriella
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation examines five contemporary Italian novels that focus on the traumatic and violent coming-of-age of the child protagonists and their dysfunctional relationships with inadequate adults/parents. Deploying a variety of interpretive tools drawn from literary, sociological, psychoanalytical, and philosophical approaches, this study investigates whether—and if so, then in what ways—these narratives may be read collectively as a literary symptom exposing a form of social uneasiness having to do with the concept of coming-of-age. More specifically, it explores the problematic relationship between children and grown-ups, which indirectly touches on the ideas of the future, of legacy, of ethics, indeed of our presence in the world. This hypothesis stems from the fact that these novels are the literary expression of a social context in which the pervasive presence of the media has blurred the line between authenticity and fiction (i.e. between trauma and its mere representation) eradicating the notion of childhood as such. As a result, the traumatic coming-of-age process, traditionally codified by initiation rites organized by elders, is nowadays fragmented into a myriad of apparently unimportant but potentially disturbing event—for instance, finding specific information online—that do not imply the presence of a grown-up and therefore jeopardize the role and identity of adults as mentors.  Relevant factors and notions, such as the link between fatherhood and the Symbolic Order, the importance of the animal and the role of cattiveria in identity formation, the Double, the Other, fairy tales, and the abject, are analyzed and woven together into an essay that aims to provoke a few crucial questions about childhood, adulthood (fatherhood in particular) and coming of age in both novels and in contemporary Italian society.

description: Environ une fois tous les six ans, les huit programmes de baccalauréats en génie de l’Université de Sherbrooke réalisent une démarche d’évaluation exigée par le Bureau canadien d’agrément des programmes de génie, en plus d’entreprendre l’évaluation périodique. Puisque l’évaluation de la qualité des programmes est commune aux deux démarches, un arrimage entre celles-ci est en cours à la Faculté de génie de l’Université de Sherbrooke. Objectif de la présentation : Optimiser l’utilisation des ressources pour mettre en œuvre d’une façon pertinente et efficace ces deux démarches en même temps et centraliser les améliorations à apporter dans un seul et même « plan d’action intégré » pour chaque programme. La communication présentera les comités d’amélioration continue (facultaire et pour chaque programme), les outils (ex. : schéma, tableau de bord, calendrier, outils de collecte de données, etc.) et l’accompagnement des directions de programme par le vice-décanat à la formation et le Secrétariat de l’évaluation périodique des programmes qui ont permis d’amorcer l’appropriation de cet arrimage gagnant par les équipes-programmes. 

Jusqu’ici, six programmes de génie (biotechnologique, chimique, civil, électrique, informatique et mécanique) ont arrimé leurs démarches et élaboré leur plan d’action respectif. Les éléments ayant facilité l’arrimage des deux démarches d’évaluation seront présentés. De plus, il sera question de la manière dont ces éléments ont permis de mobiliser les équipes-programmes, fédérer le partage de bonnes pratiques et stimuler la mise en oeuvre et le suivi du plan d’action respectif par chaque programme. La structure et les outils sont en cours d’adoption par deux autres équipes-programmes (génie du bâtiment et génie robotique) et l’accompagnement institutionnel et facultaire permet de guider et d’autonomiser ces deux programmes en vue de leur prochain agrément et évaluation périodique.

Characterizing collagen mimetic peptides for orthogonal self-assembly
Creators: name: Belure, Sandeep Vishwanath
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: A computational design of collagen mimetic peptides (CMPs) that self-assemble orthogonally (mutually exclusively), in the presence of other pre-existing collagen trimer mixtures, in vitro, has been proposed. The orthogonality in self-assembly was brought about by orthogonal patterning of ionic salt bridges and residues, along the collagen trimers’ axial length.  Through the aid of circular dichroism spectroscopy alone, a novel experimental protocol was set-up to rapidly assess the level of cross-talk that may arise in such designed ‘heterogeneous monomer to trimer folding’ mixture environments. It is shown that the designed collagen mimetic peptides are stable and hetero-specific within their composite 3 chain peptide ecosystem. We experimentally demonstrate the extent to which loss in specificity could possibly occur, upon moving to a higher order ‘more than 3 monomers in solution’ peptide ensemble. Although the desired level of multi-state orthogonality was not achieved in the current design, the experimental results obtained were used to estimate the stability and specificity barrier threshold that one might run into, if one were to instead design orthogonal systems where-in specificity is incorporated during the computational design stage itself a priori. A Pareto frontier plot indicating the specificity versus stability trade-off is plotted. We conclude that a bottom-up design approach, incorporating design of specificity during the sequence design stage, would be a better way forward for achieving self-assembling orthogonality. In contrast to the complex chaperone assisted protein folding systems existing in nature, our method is a simplistic first step towards the complementary approach of modular synthetic collagen molecule design.
