Alice and Phoebe Cary portraits
No full textThe Cary sisters became famous poets during the middle of the 19th century. Alice is shown on the left, while Phoebe is on the right. In 1838, Alice had one of her poems published in a Cincinnati newspaper. Eleven years later, Alice and Phoebe jointly authored "Poems of Alice and Phoebe Cary." The work received positive reviews, and the two women moved to New York City. Edgar Allen Poe, a leading American author, poet and literary critic, was an admirer of both women's work. William Holmes McGuffey included several of the women's poems in his "McGuffey Reader." These portraits are taken from "Howe's Historical Collections of Ohio," 1907
Melitaea phoebe subsp. caucasica Staudinger 1870
No full textM. phoebe caucasica Staudinger, 1870 [TL: “Kindermann ganz ähnliche Stücke im Caucasus fing (?- Helenendorf; Kindermann leg.)”]. The name caucasica was preoccupied by M. didyma caucasica Staudinger, 1861 and the name was replaced first by M. phoebe ottonis Fruhstorfer 1917. A lectotype female and a paralectotype male were designated by Nekrutenko (Hesselbarth et al. 1995: 2: 1028) from the Staudinger collection, housed at Zoologisches Museum der Humboldt Universität, Berlin (figs 5A, B, C & 6A, B, C). Verity subsequently also proposed a replacement name, caucasicola Verity, 1919, this being a synonym of ottonis. Kemal & Koçak (2011: 44) used the name ‘ Melitaea (Cinclidia) (phoebe) sextilis Jachontov, 1909 ’ as a replacement name giving it subspecific(?) status; however, Jachontov (1909: 285) used this name for a variety of second generation M. phoebe and, so far as the authors are aware, no author since has used the name sextilis in favour of ottonis Fruhstorfer, 1917. In fact the M. phoebe species group portrayed by Kemal & Koçak (2011: 44), in their article on eastern Mediterranean butterflies, included M. punica, a species absent from the eastern Mediterranean. This perpetuates confusion, which the first author with others has been trying to resolve. Hesselbarth et al. (1995: 3, Tafel 80/81: figs 30– 33 ♂; Tafel 82/83: figs 1– 4 ♀) placed ottonis as a synonym of M. phoebe. Although the lectotype female does not show all the characters typical of M. phoebe, for instance the underside submarginal black arches do not touch the intervening veins (see Fig. 5B), the paralectotype underside (Fig. 6B) certainly shows all the characters typical of M. phoebe. Recent authors, such Tshikolovets (2011: 497; 2003: plate 24: figs 16 m. and 17 f.), Tshikolovets et al. (2014: 318–319), van Oorschot & Coutsis (2014: 60) and Russell & Tennent (2016: 45, note 22) have all agreed that this is a subspecies of M. phoebe and not M. ornata, with which the present authors concur.Published as part of Russell, Peter J. C., Lukhtanov, Vladimir A. & Tennent, W.

Melitaea phoebe subsp. amanica , Rebel 1917
No full textM. phoebe amanica Rebel, 1917 [TL: Kushdjula, Taurus Mountains; Das Dagh, Amanus Mountains, Hatay, Turkey]; syntypic material consists of a single male and two females in the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, each having a red ‘type’ label. Hesselbarth et al. (1995: 2, 1031) and van Oorschot & Coutsis (2014: 63) synonymised this subspecies with M. phoebe punica telona and M. telona, respectively; the present authors certainly consider that this subspecies belongs to either M. ornata or M. telona rather than M. phoebe. Tóth et al. (2014) demonstrated that M. telona was present in Lebanon, to the South of the Nur mountain range and Russell & Pateman (2012) reared an egg batch from a female captured at Tuzlabeli geçidi, Muðla, western Turkey and demonstrated from the L4+ larval head colour that the population there was not M. phoebe but M. ornata. The first author considers that the specimens should probably be associated with M. telona but further DNA analysis is required to confirm to which species they belong. In order that this subspecific name can be in future firmly associated with a species we hereby formally designate the male specimen as lectotype for M. phoebe amanica Rebel, 1917. From figures 13A, B it can be seen that this specimen has the wing morphological characters typical of both M. ornata and M. telona rather than those of M. phoebe. The labels on the specimen pin (Fig. 13C) are as follows: (1) on white paper handwritten in black “Taurus/ Kushdjula/ 22.V.14”; (2) on white paper handwritten in black “ phoebe / amanica / Type [in red] Rbl”; (3) on white card typed in black “Misident:/ Melitaea telona, Russell 2021 ”; (4) on red paper typed in black “ LECTOTYPE / Melitaea phoebe amanica / REBEL, 1917 / designated Russell &/ Gaal-Haszler 2021”.Published as part of Russell, Peter J.

Kandel, Phoebe M., B.S. A.M.
No full textPhoebe Kandel was born in Greentown, Ohio in 1882. Ms Kandel received her diploma from Canton Actual Business College and was a graduate of the Lakeside Hospital Training School for Nurses (now the Frances Bolton School of Nursing, Case Western Reserve University) in 1908.

Bandwidth constrained placement in a WAN
No full textABSTRACT In this paper, we examine the bandwidth-constrained placement problem, focusing on trade-offs appropriate for wide area network (WAN) environments. The goal is to place copies of objects at a collection of distributed caches to minimize expected access times from distributed clients to those objects subject to a maximum bandwidth constraint at each cache. We develop a simple algorithm to generate a bandwidth-constrained placement by hierarchically refining an initial per-cache greedy placement. We prove that this hierarchical algorithm generates a placement whose expected access time is within a constant factor of the optimal placement's expected access time. We then proceed to extend this algorithm to compute close to optimal placement strategies for dynamic environments
