    No full text
    A generalization of the tangential Nevanlinna interpolation problem will be studied from a behavioral point of view. Necessary and sufficient conditions for its solvability and a characterization of art its solutions are derived. These results are obtained by associating to the interpolation data a behavior that enjoys a special structure. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V

    Uncinorhynchus linusi Willems & Artois, n. sp.

    No full text
    Uncinorhynchus linusi Willems & Artois n. sp. (Fig. 2 E–H) Locality. iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Lake St. Lucia estuary, detritus-rich, fine-grained sand taken from the land side of a sandbank that cuts off the estuary from the Indian Ocean, December 16, 2009 (type locality). Material. One animal studied alive and whole mounted, designated holotype (SMNH, Type-8853). Etymology. Species dedicated to Linus Willems, the first author’s son. Diagnosis. Unpigmented species of Uncinorhynchus, lacking eyes; proboscis hooks ± 37 µm high with basal wings ± 33 µm long and a dagger-like hook; complex male hard part consisting of a 30 µm-long, hollow stylet, attached to a 35 µm-long, club-shaped plate and an 18 µm-long, spine-like projection. Description. Habitus and general organisation are almost identical to those of other species of Uncinorhynchus Karling, 1947 (see Karling 1947, 1989; Brunet 1973b). The rather slender animal is mainly colourless with a brownish intestine, and lacks eyes. It is 1.7 mm long (measured on a whole-mounted specimen). The pharynx is situated almost at midbody. The proboscis is approximately 1/10 of the body length long and carries two proboscis hooks (Fig. 2 E: h, 2F), which are 36–38 µm high, each with two 29–37-µm-long basal wings and a rather straight, dagger-like hook. Testis and ovary unpaired; a vitellarium could not be observed. The prostate vesicle is elongated and somewhat pear-shaped. It encloses the prostate glands, which have clearly-visible extracapsular parts, and a small internal seminal vesicle. Proximally, this internal seminal vesicle is connected to a large, external seminal vesicle. Distally, the prostate vesicle is connected to a complex hard part (Fig. 2 E: pst, 2G–H), which consists of the hollow stylet, a spine-like projection (x in Fig. 2 G) and a club-shaped plate (y in Fig. 2 G). The stylet proper is 30 µm long and has a cup-shaped, 12 - µm-wide proximal part and a curved and slender distal part. At the convex side of the cup-shaped part, the stylet carries a perpendicularly-bent, spine-like projection, which is 18 µm long. Additionally, the proximal part of the stylet also carries a 35 µm-long, bent, plate-like part, which is very slender proximally with a distal rectangular part, giving it the overall appearance of a golf club. Discussion. Species of Uncinorhynchus are characterised by the typical shape of their proboscis hooks, the absence of eyes, a hook-shaped stylet and the absence of a bursal organ in the female genital system (Karling 1947, 1952, 1989; Brunet 1973b; Kolasa 1977; Willems et al. 2007). At present, seven species are known, which can be distinguished from each other by the detailed structure of the stylet. Whereas the stylet is triangular in shape without any attached processes in U. flavidus Karling, 1947, U. karlingi Kolasa, 1977 and U. vorago Willems et al., 2007, it is funnel-shaped and carries a plate-like part in U. hamatus Brunet, 1973, U. pacificus Karling, 1989, U. proporus Brunet, 1973, U. westbladi Karling, 1952, and the new South African species. However, in U. linusi n. sp. this plate-like extension is only slightly curved, ends bluntly and is attached to the concave side of the stylet, whereas in the other four species the extension is spine-like, bent perpendicularly, has a sharp distal point and is attached to the convex side of the stylet. In addition, the stylet of U. linusi n. sp. carries a second, club-shaped projection, which is missing in all other species.Published as part of Willems, Wim R., Reygel, Patrick, Steenkiste, Niels Van, Tessens, Bart & Artois, Tom J., 2017, Kalyptorhynchia (Platyhelminthes: Rhabdocoela) from KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), with the description of six new species, pp. 441-466 in Zootaxa 4242 (3) on pages 445-446, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4242.3.2, http://zenodo.org/record/37690

    An input-output continuous-time version of Willems’ lemma

    No full text
    We illustrate a novel version of Willems’ lemma for data-based representation of continuous-time systems. The main novelties compared to previous works are two. First, the proposed framework relies only on measured input-output trajectories from the system and no internal (state) information is required. Second, our system representation makes use of exact system trajectories, without resorting to orthogonal bases representations and consequent approximations. We first establish sufficient and necessary conditions for data-based generation of system trajectories in terms of suitable latent variables. Subsequently, we reformulate these conditions using measured input-output data and show how to span the full behavior of the system. Furthermore, we show how to use the developed framework to solve the data-based continuous-time simulation problem

    Innovation and Governance in International Food Supply Chains: The Cases of Ghanaian Pineapples and South African Grapes

    No full text
    This paper reports an exploratory case study on innovation in, and governance of, international supply chains originating in developing countries. Two African fruit export chains are analyzed: the table grape chain from South Africa (a highly developed chain) and the pineapple chain from Ghana (a newly emerging chain). The most important market for both chains is the EU. The two cases present complementary perspectives on international supply chain development. The paper shows that Western demands in these cases lead to innovation at the producer end of the international supply chain and changes in governance structures towards chain coordination and vertical integration.international supply chains, innovation, governance, developing countries., Agribusiness, International Development, International Relations/Trade, Production Economics, Productivity Analysis,

    On a Continuous-Time Version of Willems' Lemma

    No full text
    In this paper, a method to represent every input-output trajectory of a continuous-time linear system in terms of previously collected data is presented. This corresponds to a continuous-time version of the well-known Willems' lemma. The result is obtained by sampling the continuous signals at regular intervals, and constructing Hankel-like structures that closely resemble their discrete-time counterparts. Then, it is shown how to use measured persistently excited data to design a time-varying vector of parameters that allows the generation of arbitrary piecewise differentiable trajectories. A class of input signals that satisfies the conditions for persistence of excitation is also provided.Comment: 6 pages, conference pape

    Stenostomum steveoi Larsson & Willems, 2010, n. sp.

    No full text
    Stenostomum steveoi n. sp. (Fig. 3 F–H) Synonyms: Stenostomum smallpit (Larsson et al. 2008.) Localities. Loc. 11 (type locality), 16, 33. Material. Several individuals studied alive. Photograph (fig. 3 G) designated holotype (SMNH no. 7372), one serially-sectioned animal designated paratype (SMNH nos. 7373). There are DNA-sequences (accession numbers: FJ 196331, FJ 384890, FJ 384851, FJ 384939, FJ 384897, FJ 384872), which will facilitate unambiguous identification (see Larsson et al. 2008). Etymology. Species named after the first author’s dog Steve-O, a devoted fieldwork companion. Description. The length of the animal is 0.3 mm and animals with one or two zooids were observed. Specimens are white in incident light with a dark gut containing excretophores, which are more numerous close to the pharynx. The excretophores are white in incident light and appears black in reflected light. The body is slender and evenly-shaped with the posterior end slightly tapering. The anterior end is short, mobile and prostomium-like. The epidermis is entirely covered with short cilia. Epidermal rhabdoids absent. The ciliated pits are small and situated close to the anterior end. The anterior brain lobes are distinct with “metamerical” arranged ganglia consisting of six compartments, giving a striped appearance. The posterior brain lobes do not have this striped appearance and are situated posterior to the ciliated pits. Refractile organs are absent. The large ventral mouth opening is situated at approximately ¼ of the body length, and can be closed by a strong sphincter. When open, the mouth often is oval or rectangular in shape. The pharynx is simple and muscular and clearly visible in the living animal. The length of the pharynx is 1 / 5 of the total length. The sinuous protonephridium starts at the anterior brain lobes and ends in a nephridiopore in the posterior end of the animal. Individuals with a developed genital system were not found. Diagnosis. Stenostomum steveoi n. sp.: species of Stenostomum with one or two zooids, a short prostomium-like anterior end, small ciliated pits close to the anterior end, anterior brain lobes with six metamerically arranged compartments, large oval to rectangular mouth opening, which can be closed by a sphincter, pharynx conspicuous in live animals. Refractile organs absent. Discussion. Stenostomum steveoi is without doubt a member of the taxon Stenostomum. The most striking character of this species is the shape of the large mouth opening with a conspicuous sphincter, as seen in live individuals. This type of elongated mouth opening is also seen in Stenostomum membranosum Kepner & Carter, 1931 and Stenostomum saliens Kepner & Carter, 1931 (see Kepner & Carter 1931). S. membranosum lacks excretophores and the cilated pits are longer than in S. steveoi (Kepner & Carter 1931). In S. saliens excreteophores are absent, the cilated pits are small and close to the anterior end and the brain lobes are larger and more conspicuous than in S. steveoi (Kepner & Carter 1931). The short prostomium-like anterior end with its six metamerical compartments of the anterior brain lobes gives it a striped appearance. This is somewhat similar to the longer prostomium of S. anatirostrum (Noreña et al. 2005), S. bryophilum (Luther 1960), S. glandulosum (Noreña et al. 2005) and S. handoelense (see discussion of S. handoelense) but S. steveoi has much smaller cilated pits than those species. According to the molecular analyses of Swedish Catenulida in Larsson et al. 2008 (see figure 2), the closest relatives of S. steveoi are two other newly described species, S. handoelense and S. heebuktense.Published as part of Larsson, Karolina & Willems, Wim, 2010, Report on freshwater Catenulida (Platyhelminthes) from Sweden with the description of four new species, pp. 1-18 in Zootaxa 2396 on pages 9-10, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19396
