    Conferva polymorpha Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1167. 1753. "Habitat in Mari Europaeo." RCN: 8391. Type not designated. Original material: [icon] in Barrelier, Pl. Galliam: 120, t. 1301. 1714; [icon] in Boccone, Mus. Fis.: 268, 315, t. 5, f. 11; t. 7, f. 1. 1697; [icon] in Dillenius, Hist.

Note: This name is of uncertain identity (see Tandy in J. Bot. 69: 225. 1931; Silva & al. in Univ. Calif. Publ. Bot. 79: 392. 1996) but potentially threatens Polysiphonia lanosa (L.) Tandy and Ceramium virgatum Roth, and may prove to be a candidate for rejection.Published as part of Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part C), pp. 370-473 in Order out of Chaos.

    High-resolution extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy of G191-B2B: structure of the stellar photosphere and the surrounding interstellar medium

    We have continued our detailed analysis of the high-resolution (R= 4000) spectroscopic observation of the DA white dwarf G191-B2B, obtained by the Joint Astrophysical Plasmadynamic Experiment (J-PEX) normal incidence sounding rocket-borne telescope, comparing the observed data with theoretical predictions for both homogeneous and stratified atmosphere structures. We find that the former models give the best agreement over the narrow waveband covered by J-PEX, in conflict with what is expected from previous studies of the lower resolution but broader wavelength coverage Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer spectra. We discuss the possible limitations of the atomic data and our understanding of the stellar atmospheres that might give rise to this inconsistency. In our earlier study, we obtained an unusually high ionization fraction for the ionized He ii present along the line of sight to the star. In the present paper, we obtain a better fit when we assume, as suggested by Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph results, that this He ii resides in two separate components. When one of these is assigned to the local interstellar cloud, the implied He ionization fraction is consistent with measurements along other lines of sight. However, the resolving power and signal-to-noise available from the instrument configuration used in this first successful J-PEX flight are not sufficient to clearly identify and prove the existence of the two components

    Corruption in Australian sport

    No full text
    Examines some of the events that have affected the integrity of Australian sport between 2009–13 to describe the way in which corruption has manifested, the environment that has engendered the corrupt behaviour and the extent to which these incidents were primarily local events involving local actors. Forward Corruption in Australian sport is not a new phenomenon. A series of high-profile cases in Australia, combined with an increasing international focus, has seen a reassessment of Australian sport’s vulnerability to illegal activities such as match-fixing, use of inside information for betting purposes and the use of performance and image-enhancing drugs. This has led to the development and endorsement of national policies on match-fixing and doping, the establishment of sport integrity units, inclusion of specialist intelligence units in law enforcement and the creation of new match-fixing offences. Yet the actual extent of corruption in Australian sport remains unclear. In particular, does it exist more in the form of a threat rather than an intrinsic or widespread problem? This paper examines some of the events that have affected the integrity of Australian sport between 2009–13 to describe the way in which corruption has manifested, the environment that has engendered the corrupt behaviour and the extent to which these incidents were primarily local events involving local actors. It also proposes situational crime prevention techniques that may assist in framing and responding to corruption in Australian sport. Adam Tomison Directo

    Disjoint Tree Mergers for large-scale maximum-likelihood tree estimation

    Embargo set by: Seth Robbins for item 118556 Lift date: 2023-09-17T02:34:57Z Reason: Author requested U of Illinois access only (OA after 2yrs) in Vireo ETD systemAuthor requested U of Illinois access only (OA after 2yrs) in Vireo ETD systemU of I OnlyGene tree estimation is a biological problem that garners a lot of interest due to its ability to uncover evolutionary relationships in different genes which provides valuable insight into the hidden mechanisms of evolution. However, large-scale gene tree estimation has largely been unexplored, partially due to the limited available methods that can run on large datasets. Instead, a lot of effort has been focused on developing methods that are accurate on small to medium-sized datasets. We present a re-evaluation of divide-and-conquer pipelines on a variety of model conditions, including fragmentary sequences and heterogeneous evolution patterns, and show that our design of divide-and-conquer pipelines can consistently match or outperform FastTree and IQ-TREE with little overhead in runtime while matching or outperforming RAxML except on small datasets with very challenging model conditions. Furthermore, our divide-and-conquer pipeline is able to run on datasets that are too large for IQ-TREE or RAxML to handle.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2023-05-01The student, Minhyuk Park, accepted the attached license on 2021-04-21 at 12:42.The student, Minhyuk Park, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2021-04-21 at 12:43.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2021-04-23 at 16:42.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #16464 on 2021-09-16 at 17:04:17Made available in DSpace on 2021-09-17T02:34:41Z (GMT).
