    Notes on the Flora of Taiwan (35) — Scutellaria taipeiensis T. C. Huang, A. Hsiao et M. J. Wu sp. nov. (Lamiaceae)

    No full text
    A comparative study of corolla types, pollen features, nutlet coat ornamentation and chromosome numbers of Scutellaria (Lamiaceae) species in Taiwan has been conducted. The result reveals that we have a new species so that Scutellaria taipeiensis T. C. Huang, A. Hsiao et M. J. Wu sp. nov. is here proposed. A key to the species, species description and illustrations, and other relevant information are provided

    Perspectives on Identity, Migration, and Displacement -- edited by Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek, I-Chun Wang, and Hsiao-Yu Sun (Kaohsiung: National Sun Yat-sen University Press, 2010. ISBN 9789860235418 209 pages, bibliography, index) is a collection of articles about sociological and literary aspects of identity formation as a consequence of (im)migration. (Im)migration results in the problematics of assimilation and hybridity and in postcolonial scholarship, in particular, attention is paid to the concept of migration termed Creolization on the ground that cultural contact, cultural transmission, and cultural transformation result in the creation of new cultures.

    Tenthecoris colombiensis Hsiao & Sailer, 1947 (Fig. 41) Tenthecoris colombiensis Hsiao & Sailer 1947: 69. (original description). Material examined. Type material. Paratypes: COLOMBIA. 1 ♀ 1?, “Orquídeas” (Hsiao & Sailer, #58159), U.S. N.M., D.C. Insp. H. (MNRJ). Diagnosis. Body orange and black. Head, pronotum and embolium orange. Antennal segments I (except base) and II black. Scutellum and clavus black with metallic blue sheen (except base). Corium orange with circular brown spot next to cuneus. Antennal segment II longer than each antennal segment I and vertex width. Labium length exceeding hind coxae. Fore femur orange, middle femur orange except at base, hind femur white proximally and orange distally. Body length 4.50–4.52 mm (Hsiao & Sailer 1947). Right and left parameres as in Hsiao & Sailer (1947, Fig. 17). Associated plants. Cattleya sp. (Orchidaceae) (Hsiao & Sailer 1947 ). Distribution. Colombia (without details) (Hsiao & Sailer 1947). Comments. The length of T. colombiensis given in the original description was 4.52 mm long (Hsiao & Sailer 1947). Specimens in the present work are 4.50 mm; hence, length ranges are 4.50–4.52 mm.Published as part of Alvarez-Zapata, Alejandra, Ferreira, Paulo S.

    Adaptive fixed rank kriging based thermographic data processing for material defect detection

    No full text
    Data collected in active infrared thermography (AIRT) experiments for non-destructive defect detection in materials are often contaminated by undesired noise and backgrounds. In this study, an AIRT data processing method, which adopts adaptive fixed-rank kriging, is proposed. This approach computes a set of ordered functions that represent data features at the different resolution levels, called multi-resolution spline basis functions. Multiresolution spline functions were extracted from the thin-plate splines and ordered by the degree of smoothness. The only tuning parameter for this method is the resolution level, making this approach extensively applicable. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated by conducting a mosaic sample defect detection. The results showed that the proposed AIRT data processing method is not only efficient but also effective. © 2023 SPIE. All rights reserved
