Garcinia pictoria Roxburgh 1832
No full textGarcinia pictoria Roxburgh (1832: 627). Hebradendron pictorium (Roxb.) Lindley (1838: 114). Lectoype (designated here): INDIA. Wynaad, Roxburgh 180 (BM-000611609). What remains unclear is whether Roxburgh did indeed apply the name Garcinia pictoria, at least for a while, to the G. celebica trees in Calcutta, or whether Buchanan-Hamilton erred in this matter.Published as part of Turner, I.

Based on his collections from Rajmahal hills he proposed a name <i>E. robusta</i> (<i>nom. nud.</i>) in Hortus Bengalensis. Later, the name is validly published in Flora Indica by Roxburgh (1824). Our search in BM is resulted in a sheet with catalogue number BM000997142 bearing three twigs, one on top just with leaves and two twigs on bottom with fruits annotated as ‘Type specimen’ and “ <i>Embelia robusta</i> Roxburgh 1813 ”. Hence, the specimen perfectly matches with the protologue, the specimen BM000997142 is designated here as lectotype.</p>Published as part of <i>Prasanth, Arun & Sardesai, Milind M., 2021, Nomenclatural notes on type materials of eight names in Embelia (Primulaceae) from Peninsular India, pp. 230-238 in Phytotaxa 491 (3)</i> on pages 232-237, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.491.3.3, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5754432">http://zenodo.org/record/5754432</a>
The experience and design of stereotype
No full textOur everyday life is influenced by an overproduction of images
and by an iconogenic surplus that is connected to the
proliferation of media. These contribute to both the quality and
quantity of communication, but simultaneously amplify the
knowledge gap between an audience that is able to critically
process messages and another that is affected uncritically by
prejudices and stereotypes. The need for a critical ???media
education??? (Bellino 2010) is required to address this gap by
encouraging the development of students' critical thinking and
social awareness.
In this paper we will discuss the results of a didactic experiment
in which visual communication design students explored the
potential of metaphor to critique the role of media in perpetuating
cultural stereotypes. Where stereotype simplifies reality,
metaphor extends beyond the simplification of reality toward the
discovery of new communicative opportunities; here the link
between ethics and esthetics is reinforced.
To support the learning process of the participating students we
assumed that the model of experiential learning (Kolb 1984) and the appeal to experiential metaphors (Lakoff & Johnson 1980) are the best way to deal with reality, its comprehension, its representation, and its transformation. Students were required to explore the potential of metaphor through the development of viral / guerilla communication campaigns that highlighted the role of the media in perpetuating stereotype

From Acacia To Ziziphus: Plant Names Commemorating The Botanist William Roxburgh.
No full textMore than 400 validly published names of vascular plants and Charales honouring William Roxburgh (1751–1815) are listed with the currently accepted names for these taxa and their typification. Some 50 species names commemorating Roxburgh remain in current use. In total, 173 lectotypes and 2 neotypes are designated here to fix the application of the names. A new combination in Centaurium (Gentianaceae) is proposed
A follow up to new approaches to providing practice placements in the pre-registration nursing programmes: A comparison study of the year one pilot students and their year 2 experience. The Final Report
No full textIssues that may impact on student retention and attrition are multifactorial but a number of key areas have been highlighted, including the quality of support and learning experiences in practice settings. The first phase of this project (Roxburgh et al 2011), explored student, mentor and clinical manager perceptions of ‘Hub and Spoke placement models in Year One of a Pre-registration Nursing Programme. The funders Scottish Government Health Department, Recruitment and Retention Delivery Group agreed to commission further study of this cohort through Year 2 of the programme, when the hub and spoke allocation model was not used to support clinical placement allocation. Following the original pilot students through Year 2 of their programme, wherein they experienced a ‘traditional’ placement model, provided an opportunity to compare perceptions of both models and to build on and further explore the issues of belongingness, continuity, continuous support and quality of practice learning which had emerged from Phase 1 of the study
A sinusoidal magnetization distribution as an original way to generate a versatile magnonic crystal for magnon propagation
No full textThe manipulation of the magnetization in a film at the nanoscale is one of the best means for controlling spin-wave propagation in real time. In 3D Magnonics, the vertical or interfacial interaction with patterned layers can make the film magnetization depart from uniformity, which, in general, can introduce new spin-wave modes in the film, hence additional degrees of freedom for signal manipulation. In this paper, we suggest a sinusoidal distribution for the magnetization as an original and effective way to generate a magnonic crystal and control its magnon dynamics. Along with a uniform bias field, we introduce in the film layer a sinusoidal bias field, simulating the vertical/interfacial interaction with other layers: after relaxation, the film magnetization assumes a sinusoidal equilibrium distribution. Using micromagnetic simulations followed by Fourier analysis, we show how to control the magnon dynamics by tuning the magnetization undulation amplitude and symmetry. We compute the magnon dispersion curves and space profiles, we show the occurrence of new degrees of freedom for signal manipulation and the rise of localized and stationary magnon modes. We highlight the physical mechanisms governing the occurrence and variation of the frequency-gap at zone-boundary. Finally, we indicate how to practically implement a sinusoidal field (and consequent magnetization) when the vertical coupling is the inverse magnetoelastic interaction between ferroelectric and ferromagnetic films. Our results suggest a new mechanism for controlling magnon propagation, which appears extremely appealing for its really wide range of tunable effects on their dynamics, particularly interesting in the engineering of signal filtering, information storage and delivery, and sensing activity

No full textReceived Smith's letter of 20 February 1792. There is a description of the "Diandrous" timber tree Smith intends to name after him in Roxburgh's plant drawings sent to Court of Directors [of East India Company], sent specimen of the tree to [Alexander] Dalrymple [(1737-1808) geographer] for possible use in mathematical instruments. The 'Lythrum orixensis' flowering in his garden is similar to 'Grislea', further observations, sends new sketch of flower and capsule to replace his faulty former description [on the reverse of the letter Smith has written: "drawing of 'Lythrum' put into herb[ariu]m at 'Grislea'"]. Encloses specimen of 'Indigofera caerulea', too northerly for [Johann Gerhard] Koenig [(1728-1785)] to have come across it. Efficacy of 'Swietenia' bark in curing fevers even after Peruvian-bark has failed, has sent a sample for Smith. Hopes Smith received seeds.
In postscript encloses seeds of 'Lythrum orixensis', asks Smith to forward a note to [William] Aiton [(1731-1793) Kew gardener], and for Molesworth to send potato seeds, believes those in India are still propagated from the first ever sets planted in Asia
