Fei L., Ye C.Y., and Jiang J.P. 2010. A new species of Rhacophoridae from Yunnan, China (Amphibia, Anura). Acta Zootaxonomica Sinica, 35: 413–417 (in Chinese). Type. Holotype, CIB 584168, by original description. Type locality. “Qianjinxiang, Pingbian County (22.58° N, 103.41° E, alt. 1040 m), Yunnan Province ”, China. Current status of specific name. Valid name as Feihyla fuhua Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010. Diagnosis. Medium adult size (male SVL 25–29 mm); snout nearly pointed in dorsal view; dorsum shagreened to sparsely granular; lateral surfaces of the head, including tympanic region, darker than dorsal colouration; a prominent white or off-white streak extending from below the eye to the shoulder or beyond up to the groin; dorsum light greyish-yellow or yellowish-brown, with contrasting reddish-brown concave bands forming a ‘)(‘-shaped marking; presence of a pale white or cream pre-and post-orbital stripe, and a thin continuous or discontinuous reddish-brown band between the eyes; first two fingers opposed to the others; foot webbing moderate, up to the second subarticular tubercle on either side of toe IV (Fig. 5). Distribution. Feihyla fuhua is currently known only from western and south-eastern Yunnan, western Guangxi Province, and extreme western Guizhou Province in southern China.

Megophrys (Xenophrys) medogensis Fei, Ye and Huang 1983
No full textMegophrys (Xenophrys) medogensis Fei, Ye and Huang, 1983 (Figure 13) Megophrys omeimontis medogensis Fei, Ye and Huang 1983:49 In: Two new subspecies of Megophrys omeimontis Liu from China (Amphibia, Pelobatidae). Acta Herpetologica Sinica, New Series, 2(2): 49–52. Holotype. Adult male (CIB 73 II0015: Figure 13), from “Motuo, Xizang, alt. 1000m ” (= Medog [or Motuo] town [~ 29°19'56"N, 95°20'27"E], Medog County, Nyingtri Prefecture, Tibet [or Xizang] Autonomous Region, China), collectors presumably Fei, Hu, Ye and Wu on 17 July 1973 (Fei et al. 1977). Paratypes [not examined]. 16 adult males, one juvenile and some tadpoles (CIB specimen numbers not provided), “collected from the same locality, alt. 850–1350m ”, collectors as above, including Huang, on 17–24 July 1973 and 21 July–5 August 1977 (Fei et al. 1977). Examined specimens. Adult male (CIB 73II 0015: images only: Figure 13), holotype. Holotype description. Refer to Fei et al. 1983 for the holotype description. For additional details of colouration and markings, see figures in Zhao et al. (2005), Fei et al. (2010, 2012) and Li et al. (2010) of specimens from the type locality. Systematic position. Refer to the Systematic position section above for M. robusta. Morphological comparison. Adult body size ranges provided for M. medogensis are from Fei et al. (2009) (adult males, N =16). Megophrys medogensis differs from M. monticola and M. zhangi by its much larger adult body size, male SVL 57.2–68.0 mm (vs. male SVL 38.2–49.5 mm, N =17; male SVL 32.5–37.2 mm, N =3, respectively); differs from M. mangshanensis by absence of white upper lip stripe (vs. present); differs from M. robusta by its smaller adult male size, SVL 57.2–68.0 mm (vs. male SVL 73.5–83.1 mm, N =6). For comparisons with additional species covered in this study, refer to relevant morphological comparison sections for those species. Etymology. The specific epithet “ medogensis ” is a toponym, derived from the type locality of Medog county. Suggested common name: Medog Horned Frog. Distribution. Megophrys medogensis is currently known with certainty from the type locality (Figure 8A) “Medog”, between 850 and 1350 m elevation (Fei et al. 1983, 2012). This species has also been reported from the southern slopes of Mt. Namjagbarwa (or Namcha Barwa) adjacent to Medog town (Zhao & Li 1987). Additional localities in Yunnan Province, China on the distribution map provided by Fei et al. (2009) are erroneous (see Remarks below). The type locality is situated near to the northern border of the Upper Siang district, Arunachal Pradesh state, Northeast India, where this species is likely to be present at similar elevation. Habitat and natural history. At the type locality, males were reported to frequent leaf litter and small streams in forests, and were heard vocalising especially on nights with clear skies (14 July–08 August). Tadpoles allocated to this species were collected from amongst rocks at the base of a waterfall of a small stream (Fei et al. 2009), but the authors did not justify how they identified the tadpoles. Remarks. In the English abstract of the original description, Fei et al. (1983) only provided a brief comparison of this species with M. omeimontis Liu, 1950 and M. jingdongensis Fei and Ye, 1983 (in Fei et al. 1983), congeners that they determined to be morphologically most similar to M. medogensis. The abstract provided the name as “ Megophrys omeimontis motuoensis ”, but elsewhere in the text the name was provided as “ Megophrys omeimontis medogensis ”, indicating that the name in the abstract was an accidental erroneous spelling (also noted by Zhao & Adler 1993). Fei et al. (1983) provided a line drawing of the profile view of the head and ventral view of the foot, but not measurements of specimens. Fei et al. (2009) provided a table of measurements for the type series, and Fei et al. (2010) provided low-resolution photos of the holotype in preservation. Zhao et al. (2005), Fei et al. (2010, 2012), and Li et al. (2010) provided images of live individuals. Fei et al. (2009) included a distribution map showing several localities in Yunnan province for Megophrys medogensis but did not provide their source (neither publications nor specimens) for these additional localities. In Fei et al. ’s (2009) book, the species Megophrys jingdongensis is accompanied by a distribution map that is identical to the one provided for M. medogensis, but without the locality “Medog” marked. Thus it is likely that the Yunnan localities for M. medogensis are the result of printing error, and should not be considered for this species’ distribution. Fei et al. (2012) provided a map for this species including only the type locality, indirectly correcting the error of Fei et al. (2009).Published as part of Mahony, Stephen, Kamei, Rachunliu G. & Teeling, Emma C., 2018, Cryptic diversity within the Megophrys major species group (Amphibia: Megophryidae) of the Asian Horned Frogs: Phylogenetic perspectives and a taxonomic revision of South Asian taxa, with descriptions of four new species, pp. 1-96 in Zootaxa 4523 (1) on pages 37-39, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4523.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/261020
Imputation of automatic control algorithms and estimation in high-dimensional linear regression:
No full textThis thesis contains two parts. In the first part, we study a semiparametric imputation method to simulate a time series of blood glucose level under certain closed-loop control algorithm of a diabetic patient equipped with a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump, from the "frozen" measurements under self-adjusted open-loop control. The Star One data set provided by Medtronic Inc illustrates the feasibility of a simple PID algorithm, as an example of automatic control algorithms, in controlling blood glucose levels from the perspective of reducing the A1c level and controlling hypoglycemia risk.
In the second part, we consider L1-penalized selection of variables and estimation of regression coefficients in a high-dimensional linear model. Under an L0 sparsity condition on the regression coefficients, we sharpen an upper bound of Candes and Tao (2007) for the L2 loss of the Dantzig selector and extend it to the Lq loss and the Lasso. By allowing q equals infinity, our bound implies the variable selection consistency of threshold Dantzig selectors. For the estimation of regression coefficients in Lr balls, we provide minimax lower bounds for the Lq risk and the tail quantiles of the Lq loss as well as sufficient conditions on the design matrix and penalty level for the Dantzig and Lasso estimators to attain these minimax rates.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 58-59)by Fei Y

Fei-yen wai-zhuan the true era of its birth and investigation of its author
No full textFei-yen wai-zhuan 飛燕外傳 (The Unofficial Biography of [Zhao] Fei-yen) is one of the classical-language fictions in traditional China, describing the famous romance between Emperor Cheng-di 成帝 and Zhao Fei-yen 趙飛燕 sisters in the Former Han Dynasty. The author is attributed with Ling Xüan 伶玄, who definitely had confessed that he was living with the Former Han Dynasty in his brief autobiography. However, it was too suspicious to believe, from the beginning of its appearance in the Southern Song Dynasty, scholars have been puzzled to determine the true era of its birth. Through their discussions, now it is widely accepted that Fei-yen wai-zhuan was born during the Six Dynasties, not in the Tang Dynasty, though it is still lacking in conclusive evidence. But some insist that it could be compared with the great masterpieces of Tang-tales, like Ying-ying zhuan 鶯鶯傳, Li Wa zhuan 李娃傳, Huo Xiao-yü zhuan 霍小玉傳, which belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Then should we say that Fei-yen wai-zhuan was a premature masterpiece? It still remains a great mystery to all, including its author Ling Xüan himself. This study, paying attention to the text itself, proves this tale should belong to the Tang Dynasty. Its main keywords are two, Zhen-la 眞臘 and Qi-chu Ling-hua jing 七出菱花鏡 (Water-chestnut flower shaped bronze mirror, circled by seven petals). The former, used first in the historical records in China was in the Sui Dynasty Da-ye 大業 12years(616), and the latter one likely appeared after reign of Empress Wu(690--705). These facts simply tell us Fei-yen wai-zhuan was born in the Tang Dynasty. The true author of this tale is Niu Seng-ru 牛僧孺, a famous prime minister of late Tang and was also a well-known writer of Tang-tales, who authored Xüan-guai lu 玄怪錄. We could know the close affinities between Fei-yen wai-zhuan and Xüan-guai lu. As a drafted scholar-official, all of Niu's life had been under the strife in bureaucracy with the factional parties at that time. Once the opposition party blamed Niu for violating his majesty, to write the tale Zhou Qin xing-ji 周秦行記 named Niu Seng-ru. Though its writer was anonymous, Niu was nearly accused of injury to the majesy (Lèse majesté). I contend Niu decided to write Fei-yen wai-zhuan under a pseudonym to make counterattack against a recreant writer in the same manner and to regain true pride for himself
