description: Strigosella cabulica Boiss., Diagn. Pl. Orient. ser. 2, 1: 22. 1854.
Type: “Hab. in regno Cabulico propè Pushut (W. Griffith Nº 13)”.
Holotypus: AFGHANISTAN: “Pushut”, s.d., Griff ith 13 (G-BOIS [G00330470]; iso-: B [B100241270], K [K000693592, K000693593, K000693595], LE).
Notes. – Both RECHINGER (1968) and JAFRI (1973) listed more than one herbarium as the type, and BOTSCHANTZEV (1972) cited the duplicate at LE as an isotype.
BOISSIER (1854) did not examine more than the unicate in his herbarium. He annotated the duplicate at B as Malcolmia cabulica, but that annotation was made after his description of the species as Strigosella.
Boissier in Flora Orientalis treated the species as Malcolmia cabulica (Boiss.) Hook. f. & Thomson (in J. Proc. Linn. Soc., Bot. 5: 156. 1861).
The collection Griffith 1542 corresponds to number 13 in Griffith’s journal, as indicated on K000693592 and K000693595, and most likely also number 1374 on the B duplicate and number 1452 on K000693593.

description: In this paper, we study low rank high dimensional multivariate linear models (LRMLM) for high dimensional multi-response data. We propose an intuitively appealing estimation approach, and develop an algorithm for implementation purposes. Asymptotic properties are established in order to justify the estimation procedure theoretically. Intensive simulation studies are also conducted to demonstrate performance when the sample size is finite, and a comparison is made with some popular methods from the literature. The results show the proposed estimator outperforms all of the alternative methods under various circumstances. Finally, using our suggested estimation procedure we apply the LRMLM to analyse an environmental data set and predict concentrations of PM2.5 at the locations concerned. The results illustrate how the proposed method provides more accurate predictions than the alternative approaches.

description: In this technical report, we present our findings from the research conducted on the Vast Vocabulary Visual Detection (V3Det) dataset for Supervised Vast Vocabulary Visual Detection task. How to deal with complex categories and detection boxes has become a difficulty in this track. The original supervised detector is not suitable for this task. We have designed a series of improvements, including adjustments to the network structure, changes to the loss function, and design of training strategies. Our model has shown improvement over the baseline and achieved excellent rankings on the Leaderboard for both the Vast Vocabulary Object Detection (Supervised) track and the Open Vocabulary Object Detection (OVD) track of the V3Det Challenge 2024.

Holotypus: AFGHANISTAN: sine loco, s.d., Aitchison s.n. (G-BOIS [G00332185]).
Notes. – The identity of Malcolmia ciliaris remained a mystery since its publication about 140 years ago. RECHINGER (1968) and ZOHARY et al. (1980) did not mention the species, and AL-SHEHBAZ et al. (2014) indicated that the status of the species is unknown.
An examination of the holotype reveals beyond any doubt that the plant belongs to the monospecific Pseudodraba Al-Shehbaz et al.
The collector was listed in the protologue as Hulton, instead of Aitchison on the unicate in G-BOIS.

description: Federated Learning (FL) enables model development by leveraging data distributed across numerous edge devices without transferring local data to a central server. However, existing FL methods still face challenges when dealing with scarce and label-skewed data across devices, resulting in local model overfitting and drift, consequently hindering the performance of the global model. In response to these challenges, we propose a pioneering framework called FLea, incorporating the following key components: i) A global feature buffer that stores activation-target pairs shared from multiple clients to support local training. This design mitigates local model drift caused by the absence of certain classes; ii) A feature augmentation approach based on local and global activation mix-ups for local training. This strategy enlarges the training samples, thereby reducing the risk of local overfitting; iii) An obfuscation method to minimize the correlation between intermediate activations and the source data, enhancing the privacy of shared features. To verify the superiority of FLea, we conduct extensive experiments using a wide range of data modalities, simulating different levels of local data scarcity and label skew. The results demonstrate that FLea consistently outperforms state-of-the-art FL counterparts (among 13 of the experimented 18 settings, the improvement is over 5% while concurrently mitigating the privacy vulnerabilities associated with shared features.

Spectral Modeling And Analyses Of High- And Low-Mass Wolf-Rayet Stars

description: To properly understand und quantitatively analyse the spectra of stars, stellar atmosphere models are a key tool. For hot stars, the intricate non-LTE situation needs to be taken into account, requiring the solution of a high-dimensional set of statistical equations to obtain the population numbers. Moreover, for massive stars, but also for certain low-mass stars such as Wolf-Rayet type central stars, winds cannot be neglected as significant parts of the spectrum are formed in the expanding atmosphere. Unified model atmospheres that connect the quasi-hydrostatic and the supersonic wind regime in a consistent way are therefore essential.

Given the complexity of the problem, less than a handful of codes exist worldwide which can model the atmospheres of hot stars with expanding atmospheres. The Potsdam Wolf-Rayet (PoWR) model atmosphere code is one of them. Originally developed to understand high- and low-mass Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, it has since been significantly extended and is nowadays applicable for a multitude of hot stars. Using PoWR as an example, this talk will give a brief summary about the major tasks and the current status of modern unified atmosphere models and their challenges. Apart from reproducing the spectra, this talk will also provide a short outlook on what further information can be gathered from stellar atmospheres and how they can  contribute to our understanding of the impact of the different kinds of hot stars.

 Sisymbrium aculeolatum Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 75. 1842.
Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] Ispahan absque numero”.
Holotypus: IRAN: “ Ispahan ”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy s.n. (P [P05384929]; iso-: W [W18890303536]).
Notes. – There is no material in the Geneva herbaria of the species with Aucher-Eloy s.n. It is certain that BOISSIER (1842a) based his description on the unicate P 05384929 that he annotated, and he did not examine the duplicate at W. Unfortunately, BOISSIER (1867a, 1888) never mentioned the type collection of the species. HEDGE (1968: 325) was correct in stating that the type is Aucher-Eloy s.n., though he did not indicate the herbarium housing that collection. However, the listing of the type as Schimper 124 from Sinai by JAFRI (1973) is erroneous, and that collection was not cited in the original publication though listed, among others, in Flora Orientalis.
The initial placement of the species in Sisymbrium by BOISSIER (1842a) is currently accepted both on morphological (WARWICK & AL-SHEHBAZ, 2003) and molecular grounds (WARWICK et al., 2002). Although, the species was transferred by him to Malcolmia, its lack of the branched trichomes and decurrent stigmas stands against such assignments. Furthermore, the placement in Torularia by HEDGE (1968) or Neotorularia by Léonard and Hedge (in LEONARD, 1986) is not acceptable because it has simple instead of the branched trichomes characteristic of the last genus.

description: The combustion characteristics of n-decane+air mixtures are experimentally investigated through laminar burning velocity measurements at 1 atm pressure and higher initial temperatures using an externally heated diverging channel (EHDC) method. Up to 610 K mixture temperature over an equivalence ratio range of 0.7–1.4, laminar burning velocities are reported with an accuracy of ± 5%. The current measurements exhibit a good match with existing experimental measurements, and agree closely with the predictions of Zhao, LLNL and PoliMi mechanisms at different mixture temperatures. The present measurements show an excellent match of temperature exponent (α) variation with equivalence ratio (ϕ) with the predictions of distinct kinetic models as well as experimental measurements. This study reveals that a substantial scatter exists among the predictions of different kinetic models. A variation of 20–30 cm/s in the burning velocity is observed at 610 K mixture temperature. Reaction R16 (H + HO2 = H2 + O2), which inherently reduces the burning velocity becomes insignificant at an elevated mixture temperature of 610 K, and the reaction R15 (H + HO2 = 2OH) plays a dominant role in accelerating the flame propagation. From reaction pathway diagrams, it is clear that a higher burning velocity at 610 K is associated with the increased reaction rate. The elemental-flux value associated with the formation of C2H3 from C2H4 at 610 K mixture temperature is ≅34% higher in comparison to the 470 K mixture temperature.

description: The power of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence algorithms based on collected datasets, along with the programmability and flexibility provided by Software Defined Networking can provide the building blocks for constructing the so-called Zero-Touch Network and Service Management systems. However, the fuel towards this goal relies on the availability of sufficient and good-quality data collected from measurements and telemetry. This article provides a telemetry methodology to collect accurate latency measurements, as a first step toward building intelligent control planes that make correct decisions based on precise information.

description: This article provides a methodology and open-source implementation of Reinforcement Learning algorithms for finding optimal routes in a packet-optical network scenario. The algorithm uses measurements provided by the physical layer (pre-FEC bit error rate and propagation delay) and the link layer (link load) to configure a set of latency-based rewards and penalties based on such measurements. Then, the algorithm executes Q-learning based on this set of rewards for finding the optimal routing strategies. It is further shown that the algorithm dynamically adapts to changing network conditions by re-calculating optimal policies upon either link load changes or link degradation as measured by pre-FEC BER.

POSTTRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATORY MECHANISMS OF THE YERSINIA PESTIS RNA-BINDING PROTEIN, CSRA, IN STIMULATING CYCLIC-DI-GMP SNYTHESIS AND FOREGUT BIOFILM-MEDIATED BLOCKAGE TRANSMISSION FROM FLEAS

Yersinia pestis

description: Plague-causing, Yersinia pestis, produces a regurgitative, biofilm-mediated blockage infection in fleas which facilitates the primary transmission route between mammalian hosts. It is well studied how the major component of Y. pestis biofilm, the extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) poly-N-acetylglucosamine, is synthesized and exported by protein products of the hemin storage operon hmsHFRS and induced by the chemical messenger, cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP). However, nutrient signals within the flea gut that regulate synthesis and degradation of c-di-GMP are not well understood. In separate studies, it was shown that csrA encoding the highly conserved RNA-binding protein, the carbon storage regulator protein (CsrA), promotes Y. pestis biofilm formation and is highly upregulated in Y. pestis infected fleas that had developed a biofilm-mediated blockage infection. In many Gammaproteobacteria, CsrA is involved with coordinating levels of c-di-GMP and EPS production in response to the bacteria’s nutritional status. In this dissertation work, we sought out to do determine 1) whether CsrA could regulate biofilm formation in response to flea relevant sugars, 2) the mechanism of how CsrA regulates biofilm formation, and 3) if CsrA has a role in the physiologically relevant context of in vivo biofilm-mediated blockage infection. We show that CsrA is critical for stimulating c-di-GMP synthesis to increase EPS levels coincident with alternative carbon metabolism, specifically of flea relevant sugars, ribose and galactose. Additionally, we show that CsrA posttranscriptional directly controls of hmsE and hfq mRNAs at the posttranslational level to indirectly increases c-di-GMP synthesis activity through HmsD, required for the formation of biofilm-mediated infection in fleas, and HmsT, required for in vitro biofilm formation. Lastly, we show that CsrA is required for efficient formation of biofilm-mediated blockage infection in fleas. Noteworthy is that the Y. pestis-flea interaction represents a unique biologically relevant, in vivo perspective on the role of CsrA in biofilm regulation.

Notes. – The JE isolectotype was annotated by Dvořák in 1972 as a lectotype, but apparently such lectotypification was never published.
A search in the G-BOIS and Geneva herbaria for Kotschy’s syntype did not materialize and it must be misplaced because STORK (1972b: 18) examined it.
Malcolmia micrantha was recognized as a distinct species in the Flora of Turkey by CULLEN (1965: 461), but as critically examined by STORK (1972b), the name is perfectly at home in M. chia.

Mixed Blessings In Organizational Behavior

description: This three-essay dissertation investigates the potential side effects of positive organizational behavior and practice, as well as the conditions under which these side effects are more or less likely to occur. In the first essay, I examine when and why leader’s prevention focus can lead to abusive behavior. While leaders with a prevention focus (i.e., conservative mindset) are determined to avoid mistakes, regulatory focus and ego-depletion theories suggest it may have unintended and undesirable outcomes. Two multi-wave survey studies support my predictions that adopting a prevention focus increases mental fatigue, which in turn is associated with more abusive supervision. This effect is moderated, however, by the supervisor’s trait positive affectivity (e.g., enthusiasm, energy, confidence). That is, leaders high in positive affect appear to be immune to this effect.
description: The second essay focuses on the negative effects of employee volunteering. Because volunteering is considered altruistic in nature, the dark side of volunteering has received little attention. Drawing from the moral licensing and organizational justice literatures, I conducted two studies and found that volunteering is positively related to workplace deviance via increased moral credits (i.e., people often behave as if they have a moral bank account, such that performing good deeds provides credit whereas bad deeds withdraws credit), and employee with moral credits feel entitled to have earned the psychological license to subsequently act badly. However, when organizational justice is high, the effect between employee volunteering and workplace deviance weakens.
description: The third essay is about organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). I draw on ego depletion theory and propose conditions under which OCBs negatively affect job performance. Results from two studies support my hypotheses that employees working in an environment of high citizenship pressure feel mentally exhausted after engaging in OCBs, which in turn decreases their subsequent job performance. These effects are significantly weaker among employees with high trait resilience.

description: Pathological lymph node delineation is crucial in cancer diagnosis, progression assessment, and treatment planning. The MICCAI 2023 Lymph Node Quantification Challenge published the first public dataset for pathological lymph node segmentation in the mediastinum. As lymph node annotations are expensive, the challenge was formed as a weakly supervised learning task, where only a subset of all lymph nodes in the training set have been annotated. For the challenge submission, multiple methods for training on these weakly supervised data were explored, including noisy label training, loss masking of unlabeled data, and an approach that integrated the TotalSegmentator toolbox as a form of pseudo labeling in order to reduce the number of unknown voxels. Furthermore, multiple public TCIA datasets were incorporated into the training to improve the performance of the deep learning model. Our submitted model achieved a Dice score of 0.628 and an average symmetric surface distance of 5.8~mm on the challenge test set. With our submitted model, we accomplished third rank in the MICCAI2023 LNQ challenge. A finding of our analysis was that the integration of all visible, including non-pathological, lymph nodes improved the overall segmentation performance on pathological lymph nodes of the test set. Furthermore, segmentation models trained only on clinically enlarged lymph nodes, as given in the challenge scenario, could not generalize to smaller pathological lymph nodes. The code and model for the challenge submission are available at \url{https://gitlab.lrz.de/compai/MediastinalLymphNodeSegmentation}.

description: Ion channels and transporters are present in membranes of all living cells. As integral membrane proteins, they can sense and transduce the chemical environment to other cells and cell compartments. Additionally, ion transport proteins affect membrane voltage, balance substrate and water flux, are involved in signaling processes, and help protect cells from damage. In the chloroplast, the plant organelle harboring the photosynthetic apparatus, knowledge about the physiological role of many ion transport proteins is limited. Due to the importance of photosynthesis, it is necessary to uncover the full potential of chloroplast transport proteins, particularly those that use the ion potassium (K+) as substrate. K+ is highly abundant in cells and fulfills many roles in plant and plastid physiology. This dissertation describes the roles of transport proteins inside chloroplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana. We characterized novel proteins, adding to the chloroplast transportome, discovered unidentified connections between protein families, and revisited the localization and function of another previously described transporter. First, we investigated putative K+-permeable ion channels in the chloroplast envelope membrane. Even though the mechanism has been described before, the molecular identity of these proteins was unknown. Candidate proteins PLASTID ENVELOPE ION CHANNEL1/2 (PEC1/2) are localized to the plastid envelope and exhibit K+-permeability but are most likely not required for K+ homeostasis since pec1pec2 mutants displayed no apparent phenotypic abnormalities. However, we found that PEC1/2 play a crucial role in chloroplast Ca2+ signaling. Secondly, we examined the interplay of two different ion transport proteins implicated in osmoregulation of plastids, K+-EFFLUX ANTIPORTER1 (KEA1) and MscS-LIKE2 (MSL2). The simultaneous lack of both proteins in kea1msl2 mutants resulted in novel phenotypic anomalies, pointing to a concerted function of both proteins. Finally, we studied the localization and role of putative envelope Na+:H+ ANTIPORTER NHD1 and found evidence for a thylakoid membrane localization in different approaches. In addition, investigations of nhd1 mutants revealed the importance of the carrier NHD1 in acclimation to fluctuating light conditions. Overall, this dissertation advanced our understanding of chloroplast ion transport proteins, subcellular Ca2+ signaling, and chloroplast homeostasis.

description: Edge computing processes data near its source, reducing latency and enhancing security compared to traditional cloud computing while providing its benefits. This paper explores edge computing for migrating an existing safety-critical robotics use case from an onboard dedicated hardware solution. We propose an edge robotics architecture based on Linux, Docker containers, Kubernetes, and a local wireless area network based on the TTWiFi protocol. Inspired by previous work on real-time cloud, we complement the architecture with a resource management and orchestration layer to help Linux manage, and Kubernetes orchestrate the system-wide shared resources (e.g., caches, memory bandwidth, and network). Our architecture aims to ensure the fault-tolerant and predictable execution of robotic applications (e.g., path planning) on the edge while upper-bounding the end-to-end latency and ensuring the best possible quality of service without jeopardizing safety and security.

description: Malcolmia meyeri Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 71. 1842.
− Hesperis crenulata sensu C.A. Mey., Verz. Pfl. Casp. Meer.: 187. 1831 [non DC.].
 Zuvanda meyeri (Boiss.) Askerova in Bot. Zhurn. (Moscow & Leningrad) 70: 523. 1985.
Type: “[Meyer] 1641. In montibus Talüsch prope pagum Swant, in glareosis (alt. 670 hexap.)”.
Holotypus: AZERBAIJAN: “Talüsch”, 20.VI.1830, Meyer 1641 (G-BOIS [G00332209]; iso-: KW [KW000127980], LE, P [P05415917]).
Notes. – DVOŘÁK (1972a), who proposed the name Zuvanda as subgenus of Maresia Pomel, did not list the type of Malcolmia meyeri. However, ASKEROVA (1985), raised that subgenus to a genus and gave the type collection as above. Her listing is basically compatible with the protologue of MEYER (1831), the listing of BOISSIER (1867a), and specimens in both LE and G-BOIS, though the holotype above is without a collection date.
Furthermore, DOROFEYEV (2012: 376) typified the species based on a specimen at LE, and that typification is rejected here. The name does not need typification because Boissier based the species description solely on the unicate in his herbarium and did not examine or annotate any specimen elsewhere. Therefore, the G-BOIS specimen is the holotype, and the LE duplicate, which was not examined, is the isotype.
DOROFEYEV (1994) transferred the species to Strigosella of the tribe Euclidieae, but the total lack of branched trichomes and the presence of auriculate leaves do not support such generic assignment. Then he (DOROFEYEV, 2002) placed the species in the genus Moricandia DC. of the Brassiceae, a tribe distinguished primarily by having segmented fruits and conduplicate cotyledons. None of these characters is present in Zuvanda and, therefore, such tribal assignment is unsupported by morphology and molecular data (see AL-SHEHBAZ, 2012).

CONTROL OF SALMONELLA IN SPICES: THERMAL RESISTANCE, STABILITY DURING STORAGE AND SURROGATE

description: Salmonella is one of the common pathogens highly implicated in low-moisture foods. Recent studies indicate that the thermal resistance of Salmonella is determined by the water activity (aw) of low-moisture foods measured at treatment temperature. A quantitative master curve between the thermal-death-time (D80℃-values) for S. Enteritidis and aw at 80 ℃ in low-moisture foods without antimicrobial activities can be obtained by SiO2. Firstly, this dissertation investigated that the bacterial cellular moisture content, adjusted by the aw of low-moisture foods at treatment temperature, is the dominant factor influencing the thermal resistance of bacterial cells in low-moisture foods. Secondly, this study systematically proved that spices with antimicrobial activities could facilitate the thermal inactivation by comparing the log-linear correlations between D-values and aw, treatment-temperature between ground cinnamon and the master curve for other non-spicy low-moisture foods. Thirdly, the antimicrobial activities of the three spice products (chili, cinnamon and black pepper) against Salmonella and Enterococcus faecium were different in room-temperature storage and isothermal treatments. The results showed that the antimicrobial activity of chili was the most effective among the three spices during storage and thermal inactivation. Lastly, this work selected ground cinnamon as an example and evaluated the suitability of E. faecium as a surrogate for Salmonella during thermal inactivation under multiple temperatures and aw. The thermal resistance of E. faecium as a function of aw, treatment-temperature was similar to Salmonella, indicating E. faecium was a conservative surrogate for Salmonella in cinnamon in isothermal treatments.
description: In summary, the cellular moisture content of bacteria in low-moisture foods as influenced by aw of foods during heating is an intrinsic parameter determining the microbial resistance. It highlights the importance of aw at treatment temperature in predicting D-values. A synergistic effect between antimicrobial activities in spices and thermal lethality can be observed, but it varies from spices. Appropriate storage for some spice products may be an alternative to mitigate contamination. In ground cinnamon, E. faecium was still a surrogate for Salmonella. The aw, treatment-temperature of low-moisture foods was no longer the main factor influencing the thermal resistance of bacteria; the antimicrobial activities should also be considered.

description: We present ForSE+, a Python package that produces non-Gaussian diffuse Galactic thermal dust emission maps at arcminute angular scales and that has the capacity to generate random realizations of small scales. This represents an extension of the ForSE (Foreground Scale Extender) package, which was recently proposed to simulate non-Gaussian small scales of thermal dust emission using generative adversarial networks (GANs). With the input of the large-scale polarization maps from observations, ForSE+ has been trained to produce realistic polarized small scales at 3' following the statistical properties, mainly the non-Gaussianity, of observed intensity small scales, which are evaluated through Minkowski functionals. Furthermore, by adding different realizations of random components to the large-scale foregrounds, we show that ForSE+ is able to generate small scales in a stochastic way. In both cases, the output small scales have a similar level of non-Gaussianity compared with real observations and correct amplitude scaling as a power law. These realistic new maps will be useful, in the future, to understand the impact of non-Gaussian foregrounds on the measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) signal, particularly on the lensing reconstruction, de-lensing, and the detection of cosmological gravitational waves in CMB polarization B-modes.

title: Die Macht des Vergessenen. Walter Benjamins Erfahrung der Moderne
Creators: name: Rechling, Andreas
Year: 2010

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit der Konzeption der Moderne im Denken Walter Benjamins. Ich habe mich dieser auf zweierlei Wegen genähert. Einem ersten, der den Bruch der Moderne unter dem Aspekt der Krise der politischen Repräsentation und der Konstitution der Biomacht analysiert, und einem anderen, der denselben Bruch im Kontext des Niederganges der Tradition theoretisiert. Beide Wege sind auf dem Fundament der Benjaminschen Geschichtsphilosophie gebaut, die sich um eine Vorstellung von Geschichte als Insistenz der Gesamtheit des in jedem Augenblick Vergessenen als Vergessenes, zentriert. Im Unterschied zu vormodernen, religiös fundierten symbolischen Ordnungen, ist Geschichte in der Moderne nicht mehr in die alltäglichen Arbeits- und Lebensweisen eingeschrieben. Sie wurden im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts zunehmend dem Primat einer technischen Rationalität unterworfen, in die keine Geschichte im Sinne einer Anwesenheit des Vergessenen eingeht. Die strukturelle Verdrängung der Dimension des >Untoten< bzw. des Vergessenen, die im Funktionszusammenhang der Gesellschaft vorwaltet, begründet gleichsam seine unwillkürliche Rückkehr als Todestrieb. Diese Spannung zwischen Funktionalität und Getriebenheit charakterisiert die paradigmatische Situation des Subjekts in der Moderne. Ihr entsprechen jene zwei gesellschaftlichen Diskurse, die für Benjamin das moderne Paradigma konstituieren und die ich in meiner Arbeit den Begriffen der Biomacht einerseits und des Kapitalismus andererseits eingegossen habe.
