Oral History Interview with Dietrich Braun, January 1, 2021
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Dietrich Braun. Braun was born in Germany in 1932 and resided there during the war. He tells of housing and shortages during the war years. At age six, Braun was recruited into the Hitler Youth. At the conclusion of the war, his father, a German Rocket scientist, was selected to be a part of Operation Paperclip, a secret United States intelligence program that brought him to the United States. In November of 1946, Braun and his remaining family were smuggled into the US, aboard USNS Henry Gibbins (T-AP-183), to join his father at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base through 1951

Typophyllum morrisi Braun, 2015, sp. nov.
No full textTypophyllum morrisi sp. nov. (Figs. 5, 6, 7) http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName: 470144 Braun 2002: 66 (Typophyllum sp. 3, “Bombuscaro-Spaziergehblättlein“), Braun 2008: 220 (Typophyllum sp. 3). Etymology. Dedicated to Glenn K. Morris, the pioneer of bioacoustics of neotropical tettigoniids, who documented for the first time songs of some Typophyllum and Mimetica species. Examined specimens. Male holotype cbt003s04 (sound recording), Río Bombuscaro valley, 1100 m, 19 June 1999; female paratype cbt003s 21, Alto Nangaritza, 1260–1350 m, 6–12 April 2009 both leg. H. Braun and deposited in the Museo de La Plata; 18 additional specimens from three sites are currently in the collection of the author: Bombuscaro 1000–1180 m, 13–19 November 1998: male cbt003s01 (recording) and male cbt003s02 (raised from nymph), 19 June 1999: male cbt003s03 (recording) and male cbt003s04 (recording), 20 July 2002: female cbt003s05 and male nymph cbt003s06 (leg. H. Braun); Maralí 860–980 m, 12 January 2009: female cbt003s07, and male cbt003s09 (leg. H. Braun); Alto Nangaritza 1260–1450 m, 6–17 April 2009: female cbt003s 10, female cbt003s 11, female cbt003s 12, male cbt003s 13, male cbt003s 14, male cbt003s 15, male cbt003s 16, male cbt003s 17, female cbt003s 18, male cbt003s 19 (damaged spider victim), and male cbt003s 20 (leg. Elicio Tapia & H. Braun). [male cbt003s08 turned out to be a different species, see below Typophyllum sp.] Notes. There are 8 males and 2 females in the collection of G.K. Morris (inspected 2004 / 2005) from the Amazon region of Ecuador in Napo Province. According to morphology they could belong to this species as well, but the male calling song is different. Probably they are the same as Typophyllum sp. nr. trapeziforme Morris et al. 1989, whose song is compared below to the one of T. morrisi. Another male from this area belongs to the collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, Ann Arbor (UMMZ): Napo Province, about 8 km south-east of Tena and 2 km south of Ongota, 12 May 1963 leg. T.H. Hubbell & L.E. Peña. This site is at about 500 m and around 300 km north of the type locality of T. morrisi. Description. As in T. egregium the internal tympanal chamber walls are not expanded beyond the dorsal surface of the fore tibia, but are developed like the external ones. Also, the bases of the hind tibia are not expanded, placing this species like the preceding one into the first group according to Vignon (1925 a). Tegmen shapes (Fig. 5 C) do not correspond sufficiently well to any described males or females. And in males there is a unique modification of the stridulatory area at the base of the left tegmen: the proximal end of the fairly bulky stridulatory vein is dorsally developed as a knob, and directly behind it is a second knob of about the same diameter and as isolated structure being a little bit more conspicuous. The speculum of the right tegmen seems to be fairly stiff and is translucent but not transparent (Fig. 7 B). In females the tegmina are mostly emarginated in a characteristic fashion at the distal anal margin (Figs. 6 A, 7 D), and only rarely the margin is uniform (Fig. 7 E). One distinctive trait is shared by both sexes: the hind tibia sports a little below the middle, on the dorsal internal edge, a rounded, often downward-directed and drop-shaped process, of about the same diameter as the tibia (Fig. 5 B). The prosternum has no spines; mesosterum and metasternum are laterally pointed, but not terminating as distinct spines. Coloration. Little variation; various shades of brown; most individuals are dark brown (Fig. 7). Measurementes. Tegmen length in males 13–16 mm and in females 25–28 mm, hind femora in males 12–13.5 mm and in females 18–20 mm, antennae in females at least 50 mm. Acoustic behaviour. The two males that were recorded produced calls consisting of 3–6 (mostly 4 or 5) pulses (Fig. 19 C). One individual pulse lasts about 30 ms and they are repeated every 120–130 ms. A five-pulse call lasts 500 ms at 23 °C. Mostly two or three calls were produced together, separated by intervals of 400–500 ms. The pulses consist of a sustained and almost pure sine wave. The spectrogram shows a very narrow peak at 20.5 kHz and a faint harmonic at 41 kHz. The males seem to call only sporadically and the unique and easily recognizable song was never heard in the natural habitat while listening with a bat detector at night. The two knobs on the dorsal portion of the left tegmen of males might serve to dampen vibration of this tegmen, which otherwise could cancel out by negative interference the sound radiated by the speculum of the right tegmen, in case both tegmina vibrate out of phase. For the above-mentioned Typophyllum sp. nr. trapeziforme (Morris et al. 1989) are described trills of 47–132 pulses with a total duration of 2.5 – 7.0 s. The principal carrier frequency is 23.2 kHz. The high duty cycle might be due to captivity (see above T. egregium; extremely elevated calling activity compared to duty cycles of freshly caught males, and males in natural habitat, also occur in other Ecuadorian katydids—pers. obs.). However, the carrier frequency is slightly higher than described for T. morrisi. So it is currently uncertain whether the lowland population from the Ecuadorian Amazon is truly conspecific. Mating behaviour. In a cage with three females and one male, was once at night observed the male riding on a female, but this female was found moribund the next day and no copulation occurred. Distribution. Eastern foothills of eastern Andean cordillera at 850–1450 m in south Ecuador, probably extending down into Amazon region of Ecuador and northern Peru.Published as part of Braun, Holger, 2015, Little walking leaves from southeast Ecuador: biology and taxonomy of Typophyllum species (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Pterochrozinae), pp. 1-32 in Zootaxa 4012 (1) on pages 6-11, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4012.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28935
Typophyllum Braun, 2015, sp. nov.
No full textTypophyllum sp. (Fig. 11 D–F) Examined specimen. Male cbt003s08, Maralí 980 m, 12 January 2009, leg, H. Braun, found as nymph and raised to adult [originally identified as T. morrisi sp. nov., species code cbt003]. Notes. Belonging like the previous three species to the first section of Vignon (1925). The only specimen, a male raised from a tiny nymph (Fig. 11 D,E,F), is very different from all known males in this group, and the shape of the tegmina does not correspond to any known Typophyllum male. However, there will be left nine valid species of Typophyllum from Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, French Guiana, Brazil and Bolivia in this first section, which are known only from females. Since this single male could be conspecific with any of those, it is not described as new species at this point. Coloration. Only specimen light green with brown tarsi. Measurements. Male: tegmen length 15 mm, hind femora 13 mm.Published as part of Braun, Holger, 2015, Little walking leaves from southeast Ecuador: biology and taxonomy of Typophyllum species (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Pterochrozinae), pp. 1-32 in Zootaxa 4012 (1) on pages 14-15, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4012.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28935

Remote Simultaneous Interpreting
No full textAccording to one of the earliest definitions, remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI) is understood as ‘any form of simultaneous interpreting where the interpreter works away from the meeting room either through a video-conferencing set-up or through a cabled arrangement close to the meeting facilities, either in the same building or at a neighboring location’ (Moser-Mercer, 2003, 1). RSI is a modality of interpreting that belongs to distance interpreting. This term may be considered as a hypernym for all forms of technology-mediated interpreting (Braun, 2019). In this chapter, we will discuss RSI by presenting key terms and concepts (Section 3.2), an overview of the communicative contexts in which it can be used (Section 3.3), and of the development of RSI-related technology (Section 3.4). We will then move on to presenting feedback from practitioners (Section 3.5) and discussing critical issues (Section 3.6), such as sound quality, cognitive load and performance, teamwork and boothmate presence, stress, and multimodality. Finally, we will present concluding remarks and discuss emerging trends (Section 3.7)
Proof pearl: Braun trees
No full textBraun trees are functional data structures for implementing extensible arrays and priority queues (and sorting functions based on the latter) efficiently. Some well-known functions on Braun trees have not yet been verified, including especially Okasaki\u27s linear time conversion from lists to Braun trees.We supply the missing proofs and verify all of these algorithms in Isabelle, including non-obvious time complexity claims. In particular we provide the first linear-time conversion from Braun trees to lists. We also state and verify a new characterization of Braun trees as the trees t whose index set is the interval {1, ⋯ size of t }
