REMES tool-chain
No full textIn this paper, we present a tool-chain for the REMES language, which can be used for the construction and analysis of embedded system behavioral models. The tool-chain consists of the following tools: (i) a REMES editor for modeling behaviors of embedded components, (ii) a REMES simulator to test timing and resource behavior prior to formal analysis, and (iii) an automated transformation from REMES to Priced Timed Automata, needed for formal analysis.</p
Plotinus' Aesthetics: In Defence of the Lifelike
No full textDoes Plotinus have an aesthetics and/or a philosophy of art? If we start from a naïve conception of aesthetics as a philosophical discourse on beauty - its nature, our experience of it, our interest in it, our judgements concerning it - the Enneads provide ample evidence for an a rmative answer. Plotinus discusses beauty in many contexts, including two treatises explicitly dedicated to it, On Beauty, I.6[1], and On Intelligible Beauty, V.8[31], and he does so because he considers beauty an essential characteristic of reality and our experience.1 e importance Plotinus attaches to beauty is indicated by the wide extension he attributes to the term: every object of human experience, including natural things, animals and human beings, technological products, works of art, moral and cognitive practices and their results, can be appreciated from the point of view of beauty.2 is usage re ects common ancient Greek linguistic habits, but even the proper philosophical objects of Plotinus’ thought (the One, the Intellect, the Soul, or the universe as a whole), which obviously transcend ordinary experience, are approached systematically through their relation to beauty and deployed to provide a metaphysical account of the presence of beauty in the sensible world.3

On the Use of Remes exchange algorithm for General Specifications
No full textThe celebrated Remes multiple exchange algorithm for linear-phase digital FIR filter design is most commonly described for ordinary filter types (low-pass, high-pass, etc.) where it is sufficient to consider only the magnitude of the error function. Convergence for general specifications will be guaranteed only when the sign of the error function is incorporated. However, a discussion of this feature of the Remes algorithm is lacking in the literature on digital signal processing. The aim of this presentation is to fill in this gap by recasting the Remes exchange algorithm for the design of linear-phase finite-impulse response (FIR) filters with a general amplitude response specification</p

Female genitalia (Fig. 14): Sternite V to VII membranous between sclerotized lateral plates. Ovipositor not surpassing anal segment; valvifers VIII (Fig. 13) expanded basally in inner lobe, covering anterolaterally ca. 1 / 3 of tergite IX; gonapophyses IX (Fig. 14) slender, dorsally finely denticulated, strongly curved in basal 1 / 2, with ca. 20–22 small sharp teeth on dorsal margin in distal 1 / 2, with distal apex narrow and strongly angled; anal style moderately short. Measurements of macropterous forms: L.T: 3.5 ± 0.03; W: 0.9; t.n: 20–23. Measurements of brachipterous forms: L.T: 2.4 ± 0.02; W: 0.9; t.n: 20–23. Etymology. The specific name is taken from the Greek word tigris “tiger”, in reference to the contrasting pattern of coloration. The name was emended with ‘- nus ’ to make it masculine in gender. Remarks. This new species can be easily recognized by the following characters: prothorax and abdomen blackish with yellow-cream marks; mesonotum uniformly dark; vertex subquadrate, rounded to frons in profile; male genitalia with pygofer with medioventral process strong, diaphragm uniformly wide and caudally produced, suspensorium short and aedeagus dorsocaudally directed and ending in a strongly reflexed, spinose process; and valvifers VIII in female basally expanded. Pyrophagus tigrinus resembles Delphacodes puella (Van Duzee, 1897) in the carination on head, color of pronotum and abdomen, and the markings and venation of fore wings, but differs from the latter in its vertex subquadrate, not projecting beyond the level of the eyes; antennae and legs longer; tegulae and mesonotum uniformly dark; and the shape of genitalia. Distribution. Argentina (Jujuy, Salta, Tucumán, Catamarca, La Rioja, San Juan, Mendoza, San Luis, Santiago del Estero, Chaco, Misiones, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Santa Fe, Córdoba and Buenos Aires). Brazil (Paraná and Goias). Biology. Pyrophagus tigrinus is widely distributed in northern Argentina. It represents one of the most common species on forage Gramineae, including oat (Avena sativa L.), oat associated with rye and Melilotus sp., barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), maize (Zea mays L.), alepo sorghum (Sorghum halepense L.), triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), Grama Rhodes (Chloris gayana Kunth), Gatton Panic (Panicum máximum L. cv. Gatton panic), weeping lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness), and hairy crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop. Most of these plants have been demonstrated as host reservoirs of MRCV (Lenardón et al., 1997; Truol et al., 2001; Laguna et al 2002; Arneodo et al., 2002; Velazquez et al., 2006). Field studies have shown that its populations abruptly increase during summer on wheat and also on several wild grasses in cultivated maize areas affected by MRCV (Remes Lenicov, unpubl. data). Sanitary Importance. Pyrophagus tigrinus was first captured in 1997 in Jesús María (Córdoba) in triticale crops infected by MRCV. Recently, Velazquez et al. (2006) demonstrated its capacity to transmit the MRCV to triticale under experimental conditions. They found similarities in the symptoms and the viral dsRNA electrophoretic pattern with the MRCV using D. kuscheli as vector. They also observed MRCV-like particles in phloem tissue cells and highlighted the possible role of P. tigrinus as vector and reservoir of virus in nature as well as its implication in the spread of this disease.

C. P. E. Bach-Niels Schiørring Chorale Book
No full textThis data set contains facsimiles, modern versions, worksheets, and audio files related to a chorale book published by Niels Schiørring (1743–1789). Schiørring was a friend, pupil, and collaborator of C. P. E. Bach (1714–1788), who was likely responsible for most of the harmonization in Schiørring's chorale book. Because of Bach's involvement, this collection takes on a special significance in chorale harmonization pedagogy in J. S. Bach's cirlce. Schiørring published the chorale book in three versions: (1) SATB vocal parts; (2) organ accompaniment; and (3) chorale melody with figured bassline. The .dorico file can be opened with the commercial program Dorico. Other file formats can be found at https://github.com/Chorale-Corpus/Schiorring
A combined Remes-differential correction algorithm for rational approximation
No full textIn this paper a hybrid Remes-differential correction algorithm for computing best uniform rational approximants on a compact subset of the real line is developed. This algorithm differs from the classical multiple exchange Remes algorithm in two crucial aspects. First of all, the solving of a nonlinear system to find a best approximation on a given reference set in each iteration of the Remes algorithm is replaced with the differential correction algorithm to compute the desired best approximation on the reference set. Secondly, the exchange procedure itself has been modified to eliminate the possibility of cycling that can occur in the usual exchange procedure. This second modification is necessary to guarantee the convergence of this algorithm on a finite set without the usual normal and sufficiently dense assumptions that exist in other studies.</p

Neodelphax Marino De Remes Lenicov & Brentassi 2017, new genus
No full text<i>Neodelphax</i> new genus <p> Type species: <i>Neodelphax sakakibarai</i> Remes Lenicov & Brentassi, sp. n.</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> Body robust, black to stramineous with distinctive dark marks at apex of clavus, nodal line and apical angle of forewing in macropterous form; carinae of head and pronotum, legs, antennae, rostrum and anal style yellowish. Head, including compound eyes, slightly larger than pronotum, vertex subquadrate, weakly projecting between eyes in dorsal view. Carinae of head strong and conspicuous, submedian carinae forked approximately in middle of vertex, joined onto frons below midlength, far below lower level of eyes; branches parallel and approximated. Frons with lateral margins subparallel, slightly narrowed between eyes. Lateral carinae of pronotum curved, diverging, not reaching posterior margin; median carina reaching hind margin at shallow notch. Lateral carinae of mesonotum straight, reaching posterior margin, median carina becoming obsolete in scutellum. Forewings of brachypter male opaque, concolorous with body; in females clear or light brown; slightly rounded, leaving exposed three tergites. Apex of hind tibiae bearing 5 (3+2) spines, 7 (5+2) on basitarsus and 4 on second tarsomere. Calcar with 22–28 teeth.</p> <p>Males darker than females, with abdomen and lateral portion of mesonotum more strongly embrowned.</p> <p>Male terminalia: Genital segment ventrally longer than dorsally (about 3:1), pygofer with anal foramen rhomboidal, in dorsal view strongly excavate on both margins; in lateral view, dorso-caudal margin regularly curved, continuing downwards with scabrous, carinated and lightly projected margin; in caudal view, ventral margin deeply excavated with small, denticulate median process (often very little notorious). Diaphragm bridge subrectangular, armature much broader than its height, weakly to strongly sclerotized, middle of dorsal margin slightly lipped in lateral view. Parameres dorsolaterally directed in lateral view, diverging in caudal view; abruptly and strongly produced laterad near apex and slightly recurved at tip; basal angle developed in a medioventrallydirected edge; inner lateral margin smooth. Phallotheca tubular, terete to subterete, laterally slightly compressed, dorsally directed, armed with spinose process originated from lateral side, with small denticles on both margins near the apex, phallotrema apical, open on left side; suspensorium short, plate-like. Anal segment broad, ventrally membranous, bearing strongly developed lateral lobes ending in a strong spinose process. Anal style relatively small, slightly taller than wide.</p> <p>Female genitalia: Abdomen with a wide, central, membranous part between pregenital sclerites. Genital scale strongly developed, triangular to subrectangular, with spinose process on caudal margin. Valvifers VIII elongate, broadening towards the base, with distinctive basal lobe on the inner margin. Gonapophyses IX slender and slightly curved, dorsally finely denticulated, with 20–40 small sharp teeth on distal ½.</p> <p> <b>Etymology</b>. The generic name is a combination of the Greek νέος (néos), meaning <i>new</i>, plus <i>delphax</i>, a common termination used in delphacids. The name is to be treated as masculine [(<i>Delphax</i> was affirmed as masculine by ICZN (1961)].</p> <p> <b>Remarks</b>. <i>Neodelphax</i> species can be easily recognized by the distinctive frontal carination, with the submedian frontal carina forked below the eyes (an uncommon feature in Delphacini); by the regularly convex dorsocaudal margin of the pygofer and the spinous caudal processes on the anal segment well developed. It also has the phallotheca semitubular and dorsally directed bearing a spinose process from the lateral side and small apical or subapical teeth. The female can be distinguished by the well developed genital scale, which is, caudally armed with spinous processes combined with the basally wide valvifers VIII. <i>Neodelphax</i> species share some external features with the recognized Palearctic species of <i>Dicranotropis s.s.</i> but can be separated from the latter by the lack of its distinctive genitalic features provided by the shape of the pygofer which is projected caudally on the dorsocaudal margin and with a spined process in medioventral position; the phallotheca compressed and ventrally bent; parameres sub-basally with scabrous surface and acute spine-shaped process (with smooth edge in <i>Neodelphax</i>) and the anal segment with small tooth in sub-basal position in male; the caudal margin emarginated of the genital scale in female is also absent. Two species from Neotropic placed in <i>Dicranotropis</i>: <i>D. bipectinata</i> Muir, from Ecuador and <i>D. basifuscata</i> (Fowler) from Mexico, have been examined only based on the original descriptions and some few illustrations. They show quite remarkable anatomical differences, particularly in the shape of pygofer, that is elongate and caudally projected, and the position of the phallotheca, ventrally directed, what actually justifies their exclusion from <i>Neodelphax.</i></p> <p> The three species presently included in this genus are <i>N. sakakibarai</i> <b>sp. n.,</b> <i>N. fuscoterminata</i> (Berg) <b>comb. n</b>. and <i>N. acheron</i> (Fennah), <b>comb. n</b>.</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> Argentina and Chile.</p>Published as part of <i>Marino De Remes Lenicov, Ana M. & Brentassi, M.
