(mis-identification) Aphnaeus syama formosana; Seitz 1927 (not Matsumura): the Macrolepidoptera of the world: 937, pl. 156, fig. 156h; Hirayama (not Moore) 1933: Butterflies in Colour: pl. 20, Fig. 3; pl. 21, fig. 3. (mis-identification) Aphnaeus syama formosana ab. nakaharai Naritomi 1941: Kontyukai 91: 618, pl. 4, Fig. 4. Diagnosis. Ssp. lamuae is characteristic by distal band of central symmetry system of hindwing undersides broken posteriorly at 1A+2A (Figs. 10, 12, 14, 16), whereas this band is continuous, forming a complete V-shaped band in the other subspecies (Figs. 18, 20). The appearance of ssp. lamuae is most similar to ssp. sepulveda Fruhstorfer, 1912 of continental China (Figs. 17–20, 30–34) in wing patterns, sharing the feature of distal band of central symmetry system of forewing undersides in touch with parafocal elements. Ssp. lamuae demonstrates profound seasonal variation, with the markings on wing undersides of individuals emerged in dry/cooler months reduced and turning reddish (Figs. 12, 16). By contrast, seasonal variation is absent in ssp. sepulveda, with individuals emerged from all seasons possessing black spots and bands (Figs. 18, 20); posterior margin of costa on valva is smooth in lamuae (Fig. 27), whereas it is unevenly serrate in ssp. sepulveda (Fig. 32).

Paratypes deposited in NHM, NMNS, and NTNU. Bionomics. Female butterfly oviposits on foliage (twig or leaf) of hostplant (Fig. 43, 44) in the presence of associated ants. Larvae are phytophagous but tended by Crematogaster ants on regular basis (Lin 2011). The larvae devour leaves by scratching epidermis and mesophyll. Larvae conceal themselves gregariously in shelters construct- ed by tying dry leaves while not feeding (Figs. 45). Pupation is taken place within the larval shelters (Figs. 46). Hostplants. Plants oviposited by females or utilized by immatures in the wild included Maesa japonica (Primulaceae) (04F53, oviposition), Ardisia crenata (Primulaceae) (09C26, 09J46, larvae), A. cornudentata morrisonensis (Primulaceae) (09H10, oviposition; 10H20, larvae), A. cornudentata cornudentata (Primulaceae) (09K4, 10H27, 10J52, 11D33, larvae), Mallotus japonica (Euphorbiaceae) (10G26, larva) and Smilax odortissima (Smilaceae)(10J41, larvae). Myrmecophily. This butterfly is obligatorily associated with Crematogester amia (09C26, 09H10, 10G26, 10H20, 10J41) and C. popohana (09K4, 10H27, 10J52, 11D33) in the wild, but larvae may complete development without presence of ants in laboratory (Lin 2011). Etymology. The subspecific name lamuae refers to a comic character Lam (Lamu) created by a famous manga artist Rumiko Takahashi. The patterns of wing undersides recall the graphic design of the bikini Lam wears. Remarks. Seitz (1927) states that S. syama in Taiwan is diagnosable by having the ground color of wing undersides being white, but examined specimens and illustrations of literature all have yellow or creamy yellow ground color on wing undersides.Published as part of Hsu, Yu-Feng & Liang, Jia-Yuan, 2020, On systematic status of Spindasis syama Horsfield, [1829] in Taiwan and the Philippines (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae: Aphnaeini), pp. 485-500 in Zootaxa 4763 (4) on pages 491-494, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4763.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/376205

Pao-Lu Hsu (Xu, Bao-lu): The Grandparent of Probability and Statistics in China
No full textThe years 1910-1911 are auspicious years in Chinese mathematics with the births of Pao-Lu Hsu, Luo-Keng Hua and Shiing-Shen Chern. These three began the development of modern mathematics in China: Hsu in probability and statistics, Hua in number theory, and Chern in differential geometry. We here review some facts about the life of P.-L. Hsu which have been uncovered recently, and then discuss some of his contributions. We have drawn heavily on three papers in the 1979 Annals of Statistics (volume 7, pages 467-483) by T. W. Anderson, K. L. Chung and E. L. Lehmann, as well as an article by Jiang Ze-Han and Duan Xue-Fu in Hsu's collected papers.Statistics & ProbabilitySCI(E)1ARTICLE3434-4452

Early coevolution of adhesive but not antiadhesive tenascin-R ligand-receptor pairs in vertebrates: A phylogenetic study
No full textAxon growth inhibitory CNS matrix proteins, such as tenascin-R (TN-R), have been supposed to contribute to the poor regenerative capacity of adult mammalian CNS. With regard to TN-R function in low vertebrates capable of CNS regeneration, questions of particular interest concern the (co)evolution of ligand-receptor pairs and cellular response mechanisms associated with axon growth inhibition and oligodendrocyte differentiation. We address here these questions in a series of comparative in vivo and in vitro analyses using TN-R proteins purified from different vertebrates (from fish to human). Our studies provide strong evidence that unlike TN-R of higher vertebrates, fish TN-R proteins are not repellent for fish and less repellent for mammalian neurons and do not interfere with F3/contactin- and fibronectin-mediated mammalian cell adhesion and axon growth. However, axonal repulsion is induced in fish neurons by mammalian TN-R proteins, suggesting that the intracellular inhibitory machinery induced by TN-R-F3 interactions is already present during early vertebrate evolution. In contrast to TN-R-F3, TN-R-sulfatide interactions, mediating oligodendrocyte adhesion and differentiation, are highly conserved during vertebrate evolution. Our findings thus indicate the necessity of being cautious about extrapolations of the function of ligand-receptor pairs beyond a species border and, therefore, about the phylogenetic conservation of a molecular function at the cellular/tissue level
Computational paralinguistic and phonetic approaches for perceived leadership detection
No full textThis dissertation investigates the nexus of speech features and perceived transformational leadership through computational paralinguistic and phonetic approaches across three studies, bridging leadership theory and vocal.
Study 1, an integrative review, leverages computational advancements to explore acoustic features like pitch, jitter, and formant dispersion beyond human perception. It synthesizes early research with modern tools like Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs), showing how lower pitch and features like speech pauses predict dominance and charisma (Cullen & Harte, 2018). This sets the stage for empirical analyses using machine learning to dissect vocal cues.
Study 2 employs a computational paralinguistic approach, analyzing 122 speakers’ recordings by evaluated by 122 raters via the German Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ)—with OpenSMILE. Focusing on fundamental frequency, intensity, and voicing probability, it uses Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) regression in WEKA. Results highlight fundamental frequency’s predictive power for inspirational motivation (R²=0.31) and idealized influence (R²=0.45), with intensity driving individualized consideration (R²=0.35). This approach quantifies paralinguistic features’ impact, revealing their nuanced roles across leadership dimensions.
Study 3 shifts to a phonetic approach, using Praat on the same dataset to extract fundamental frequency (F0), intensity, speech duration, and formants (F1-F5). SMO regression identifies speech duration as key for individualized consideration (R²=0.40) and F0 for inspirational motivation (R²=0.43). The implications amplify these findings: a wider F0 range and steeper slopes enhance dynamism and charisma; lower F1, F2 frequencies and narrower F3, F4 bandwidths boost authoritative resonance and clarity; longer duration and pauses, paired with slower rates, project control; and dynamic intensity modulation strengthens emotional impact. These phonetic insights complement Study 2’s paralinguistic focus, offering a dual-lens framework.
The dissertation integrates explainable AI (XAI) to balance predictive accuracy with interpretability, linking computational paralinguistic features (e.g., voicing probability) and phonetic traits (e.g., formant bandwidths) to psychological constructs like enthusiasm and authority. The paralinguistic approach excels in broad feature extraction, while the phonetic method provides granular physiological insights, together advancing psychoacoustics and leadership studies. This synergy enables practical vocal optimization- varying pitch, modulating intensity, and pacing delivery- for authentic leadership projection in business contexts, demonstrating the power of computational and phonetic methodologies in decoding vocal influence.Diese Dissertation erforscht die Verbindung zwischen Sprachmerkmalen und wahrgenommener transformationaler Führung durch computationelle paralinguistische und phonetische Ansätze in drei Studien, die Führungstheorie und stimmlichen Ausdruck verknüpfen.
Studie 1, ein integrativer Reviewansatz, nutzt rechentechnische Fortschritte, um akustische Merkmale wie Tonhöhe, Jitter und Formantdispersion jenseits menschlicher Wahrnehmung zu analysieren. Sie kombiniert frühe Forschung mit Tools wie Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs), um zu zeigen, wie tiefere Tonlagen und Merkmale wie Sprechpausen Dominanz und Charisma vorhersagen (Cullen & Harte, 2018), und legt die Grundlage für empirische Untersuchungen mit maschinellem Lernen.
Studie 2 wendet einen computationelle paralinguistischen Ansatz an, indem sie Aufnahmen von 122 Sprechern – bewertet von 122 Personen via deutscher Version des Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) – mit OpenSMILE analysiert. Fokussiert auf Grundfrequenz (F0), Intensität und Stimmhaftigkeitswahrscheinlichkeit, verwendet sie Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) Regressionsalgorithmus in Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA). Ergebnisse zeigen die Vorhersagekraft der Grundfrequenz für inspirierende Motivation (R²=0,31) und idealisierten Einfluss (attributiert) (R²=0,45), während Intensität individuelle Berücksichtigung prägt (R²=0,35). Dieser Ansatz quantifiziert den Einfluss paralinguistischer Merkmale und deckt ihre nuancierten Rollen auf.
Studie 3 verfolgt einen phonetischen Ansatz mit Praat (Version 6.3.04) auf demselben Datensatz, extrahiert Grundfrequenz (F0), Intensität, Sprechdauer und Formanten (F1-F5). SMO-Regression identifiziert Sprechdauer als Schlüsselfaktor für individuelle Berücksichtigung (R²=0,40) und F0 für inspirierende Motivation (R²=0,43). Es vertieft diese Erkenntnisse: Ein größerer F0-Bereich und steilere Änderungen fördern Dynamik und Charisma; niedrigere F1- und F2-Werte steigern autoritative Resonanz und Klarheit; schmalere Formanten-Bandbreite bei F3 und F4 verbessern Resonanzklarheit; längere Gesamtlänge der Sprechdauer und Pausen mit langsamerer Sprechgeschwindigkeit projizieren Kontrolle; dynamische Intensitätskurve verstärkt emotionale Wirkung. Diese phonetischen Einsichten ergänzen die paralinguistischen Befunde aus Studie 2 und bieten einen dualen Analyseansatz.
Durch Integration von Prinzipien der erklärbaren künstlichen Intelligenz (XAI) vereint die Arbeit prädiktive Genauigkeit mit Interpretierbarkeit, indem sie paralinguistische Merkmale (z. B. Stimmhaftigkeitswahrscheinlichkeit) und phonetische Eigenschaften (z. B. Formanten-Bandbreite) mit psychologischen Konstrukten wie Enthusiasmus und Autorität verknüpft. Der paralinguistische Ansatz glänzt bei breiter Merkmalsextraktion, der phonetische bietet detaillierte physiologische Einblicke. Zusammen bereichern sie Psychoakustik und Führungsforschung und ermöglichen praktische Stimmoptimierung – durch Tonhöhenvariation, Intensitätsmodulation und gezielte Pausensetzung – für authentische Führungspräsenz im Geschäftskontext, was die Stärke dieser Methoden unterstreicht.Vo
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
