Service-oriented models for audiovisual content storage
No full textWhat are the important topics to understand if involved with storage services to hold digital audiovisual content? This report takes a look at how content is created and moves into and out of storage; the storage service value networks and architectures found now and expected in the future; what sort of data transfer is expected to and from an audiovisual archive; what transfer protocols to use; and a summary of security and interface issues
Temporal and spatial variability in speakers with Parkinson's Disease and Friedreich's Ataxia
No full textSpeech variability in groups of speakers with Parkinson's disease (PD) and with Friedreich's ataxia was compared with healthy controls. Speakers repeated the same phrase 20 times at one of two rates (fast or habitual). A non-linear analysis of variability was performed which used some of the principles behind the spatio-temporal index (STI). The STI usually employs variation in lip displacement over repetitions of the same utterance and a linear analysis of such signals is conducted to represent the combined variation in spatial and temporal control. When working with patients, audio measures (here we used speech energy) are preferred over kinematics ones as they are minimally disruptive to speech. Non-linear methods allow spatial variability to be estimated separately from temporal variability. The results are tentatively interpreted as showing that PD speakers were distinguished from healthy control speakers in spatial variability and ataxic speakers were distinguished from controls in temporal variability. These findings are consistent with the speech symptoms reported for these disorders. We conclude that the non-linear analysis using the speech energy measure is worth investigating further as it is potentially revealing of the differences underlying these two pathologies

Moltenojurina parva Béthoux & Anderson 2021, sp. nov.
No full textMoltenojurina parva sp. nov. (Fig. 4) urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: BFCFDAB4-295D-4C86- A9AB-7441215855A4 Holotype. Specimen PRE/F/20922 (part, preserving a wing in in ventral aspect), Evolutionary Studies Institute, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. Etymology. The specific epithet, ‘ parva ’ (‘small’ in Latin) refers to the small size of the species. Diagnosis. Forewing: marginal band broad (opposite the 3 rd quarter of wing length, accounting for about a third of total wing width); apex not deflected posteriorly; small size (forewing length about 3.9 mm in known material). Type locality and horizon. Birds River (locality code ‘Bir 111’; see Anderson & Anderson, 1984), South Africa; Molteno Formation; lower Carnian, Upper Triassic (Anderson et al., 1998). Description. A right forewing, posterior area incomplete, clavus missing, and, according to the proposed reconstruction, area between anterior wing margin and ScP missing; length 3.3 mm as preserved (ca. 3.9 mm if complete), width about 1.1 mm if complete; area anterior to RA broad (0.3 mm opposite the presumed end of ScP), with 4 rows of cells at best, and retaining 2 rows of cells until shortly before the apex; area between RA and MP+CuA ant with 2 veins, zigzagging and without clear origin; area between MP+CuA ant and CuA post with 2 zigzagging veins; in its posterior section, marginal band broad. Discussion. Because of its incompleteness and the symmetry characterizing Glosselytrodea forewings, it was not straightforward to orientate the specimen. We rested on the fact that the clavus is commonly delimited by a series of rectilinear, close and parallel veins in Glosselytrodea. Provided that it is not the case in the preserved area which could have been interpreted as the clavus, we interpreted it as the area anterior to RA instead. Additionally, veinlike elements preserved in the corresponding area display a zigzagging course, known to be the case for similar elements preserved in the area anterior to RA in Polycytella and Argentinoglosselytrina. In a similar line of reasoning, the lack of a rectilinear vein interpretable as ScP suggests that the specimen was broken along this vein, a damage not uncommon in fossil wings of Glosselytrodea (see Hong, 2007; Rasnitsyn & Aristov in Aristov et al., 2013). A tentative reconstruction was elaborated accordingly (Fig. 4). It implies that the area anterior to RA is very broad, ensuring the assignment of the specimen to the Polycytellidae as diagnosed above. The new material differs from any known Polycytellidae by its small size. As a matter of fact, to our knowledge, it is the smallest Glosselytrodea to date. More decisively, the marginal band is broader than in other Glosselytrodea: opposite the 3 rd quarter of wing length, the marginal band (anterior and posterior sections) accounts for about a quarter of wing width in Polycytella spp., while it accounts for more than a third in the new material. These traits justify the erection of a new genus and, incidentally, of a new species. General similarity between the new material and Mesojurina sogjutensis Martynova, 1943 is regarded as due to the small size characterizing both species. Notably, Mesojurina sogjutensis has an area anterior to RA comparatively narrow, this precluding its assignment to the Polycytellidae as diagnosed above.Published as part of Béthoux, Olivier & Anderson, John M., 2021, The Polycytellidae viewed as Gondwanan Glosselytrodea, pp. 550-558 in Palaeoentomology 4 (6) on pages 556-557, DOI: 10.11646/palaeoentomology.4.6.5, http://zenodo.org/record/577857
