Enacting BPM-oriented Workflows with WADE
No full textThis paper has two main focuses. First it provides a review on the reasons why agent technologies are a good choice for BPM (Business Process Management). A brief survey of the literature on the subject is presented and a critical revision of the main motivations that are commonly accepted for the use of agents in BPM is presented taking into account recent technological developments. Then, the paper presents the recent developments of Wade (Workflow and Agent Development Environment) and it confers such developments and value-added features in the scope of the initial discussion. Finally, the paper briefly enumerates some successful applications of the presented technologies in Telecom Italia. Such applications are so important and demanding that their implementation using agent-based approaches is an outstanding result for agent technology
Complex anisotropy beneath the Peruvian flat slab from frequency-dependent, multiple-phase shear wave splitting analysis
No full textFlat or shallow subduction is a relatively widespread global occurrence, but the dynamics remain poorly understood. In particular, the interaction between flat slabs and the surrounding mantle flow has yet to be studied in detail. Here we present measurements of seismic anisotropy to investigate mantle flow beneath the Peruvian flat-slab segment, the largest present-day region of flat subduction. We conduct a detailed shear wave splitting analysis at a long-running seismic station (NNA) located near Lima, Peru. We present measurements of apparent splitting parameters (fast direction ? and delay time ?t) for SKS, ScS, and local S phases from 80 events. We observe well-defined frequency dependence and backazimuthal variability, indicating the likely presence of complex anisotropy. Forward modeling the observations with two or three layers of anisotropy reveals a likely layer with a trench-normal fast direction underlying a layer with a more trench-oblique (to trench-subparallel) fast direction. In order to further constrain the anisotropic geometry, we analyzed the source-side splitting from events originating within the slab measured at distant stations. Beneath the flat-slab segment, we found trench-normal fast splitting directions in the subslab mantle, while within the dipping portion of the slab further to the east, likely trench-subparallel anisotropy within the slab itself. This subslab pattern contradicts observations from elsewhere in South America for “normal” (i.e., more steeply dipping) slab conditions. It is similar, however, to inferences from other shallowly dipping subduction zones around the world. While there is an apparent link between slab dip and the surrounding mantle flow, at least beneath Peru, the precise nature of the relationship remains to be clarified

Taxonomic notes: Based on the morphological and phylogenetic evidence, we here establish Calasterella D.G.Long & T.X.Zheng as the seventh genus of the family Aytoniaceae. This genus may be confused with Mannia and Reboulia given that they share a similar appearance and female receptacle, respectively (Bischler 1998; Bischler-Causse et al. 2005). However, both Mannia and Reboulia show absence of a pseudoperianth (except Mannia gracilis (Weber 1815: 105) Schill & Long (2010: 173)) but display dichotomous, ventral or terminal innovative thallus branching while Calasterella has dichotomous branching only. In addition, Mannia possesses (1) aromatic plants, (2) depressed hemispherical or subglobose female receptacles, and (3) cup-shaped involucres (Schill 2006). Reboulia has (1) bilabiate involucres, (2) ventral scales with 2–3(4) filiform appendages, (3) 4–7-lobed receptacles and (4) yellowish brown coarsely areolate spores (Bischler 1998; Bischler-Causse 2005). Calasterella can be confused with Asterellopsis because both taxa have dichotomously branching thalli. The latter, however, is distinguished by (1) fewer (1–2) and sometimes unequally bifid ventral scale appendages, (2) spherical female receptacles, and (3) dark brown or black spores with germinal apertures. When sterile, Calasterella is more or less similar to Preissia Corda (1829: 647) and Bucegia Radian (1903: 3) (Marchantiaceae). However, the latter two genera can be readily differentiated by their compound air pores (Zheng & Shimamura 2022). The only other dioicous species traditionally placed in Asterella is the Asiatic A. wallichiana (Lehmann & Lindenberg 1832: 4) Grolle (1966: 262), but as pointed out by Long (2006) the latter is readily distinguished by the complete cessation of vegetative growth at the apex of the thallus of female plants, whereas in C. californica vegetative growth continues from the lateral lobes at the thallus apex (Haupt 1929: Fig. 9). Traditionally, Aytoniaceae was divided into two subfamilies (Grolle 1983; Grolle & Long 2000), Aytonioideae (Plagiochasma) and Reboulioideae (Asterella s. lat., Cryptomitrium, Mannia, and Reboulia). However, recent phylogenetic studies on complex thalloid liverworts have proposed a different conclusion (Villarreal et al. 2016; Xiang et al. 2022), in which Aytoniaceae is resolved into five major clades, namely Asterella s. str., Asterellopsis - Cryptomitrium, Calasterella, Mannia and Reboulia - Plagiochasma, and this grouping is inconsistent with the traditional bipartite classification of the family. Previously, the presence of pseudoperianths was regarded as a unique character that distinguished Asterella s. lat. from other genera of the family (Long 2006). However, the recent studies by Schill et al. (2010) transferred A. gracilis to Mannia, and Xiang et al. (2022) established a new genus Asterellopsis based on the species Asterella grollei Long (1999: 102), indicating that the pseudoperianth is probably a plesiomorphic feature, and the morphology of spores might be used as a more informative character to underpin the classification within Aytoniaceae (Long 1998; Schill 2006; Schill et al. 2010). To solve this problem and propose an amended classification of Aytoniaceae at subfamily level, phylogenetic studies involving more samples from a wide geographical range are now nearing completion.Published as part of Long, David G. & Zheng, Tian-Xiong, 2023, A new subfamily Calasterelloideae and new genus Calasterella for a phylogenetically and morphologically distinct member of the Aytoniaceae, pp. 225-230 in Phytotaxa 606 (3) on pages 226-228, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.606.3.6, http://zenodo.org/record/820267
