Nomenclatural notes on some European elm names (Ulmaceae)
Abstract The typification of the elm names Ulmus laevis, U. minor, and U. pumila is discussed. Ulmus laevis is lectotypified on a Pallas illustration published in his Flora Rossica. No original material could be located for U. minor and a neotype is designated (a specimen at SLBI). Ulmus pumila is lectotypified on a specimen in LINN.

Generalization of k.p theory for periodic perturbations [PDF]
We extend standard k.p theory to take into account periodic perturbations which are rapidly oscillating with a wavelength of a few lattice constants. Our general formalism allows us to explicitly consider the Bragg reflections due to the perturbation-induced periodicity. As an example we calculate the effective masses in the lowest two conduction bands

Abstract This study examined if gaze‐contingent textual enhancement could be used as an interactive focus‐on‐form device to promote learning of second language (L2) collocations from computer‐mediated reading tasks. Seventy‐five Chinese ESL users read three English texts that contained twelve target collocations, presented under one of three conditions:

Typography-MNIST (TMNIST): an MNIST-Style Image Dataset to Categorize Glyphs and Font-Styles [PDF]
We present Typography-MNIST (TMNIST), a dataset comprising of 565,292 MNIST-style grayscale images representing 1,812 unique glyphs in varied styles of 1,355 Google-fonts. The glyph-list contains common characters from over 150 of the modern and historical language scripts with symbol sets, and each font-style represents varying subsets of the total ...

Abstract Public–private partnerships (PPPs) have become an increasingly common model for government infrastructure delivery around the world. However, despite their widespread use, scholarship has been generally sceptical. This study identified 14 common policy and governance criticisms and observations of PPPs as they relate to the interests of ...

Using Computational Approaches in Visual Identity Design: A Visual Identity for the Design and Multimedia Courses of Faculty of Sciences and Technology of University of Coimbra [PDF]
Computational approaches are beginning to be used to design dynamic visual identities fuelled by data and generative processes. In this work, we explore these computational approaches in order to generate a visual identity that creates bespoke letterings and images.

Abstract Drama is a subject through which pupils can explore and develop their social learning. Previous research into drama‐based pedagogy has predominantly centred on outcomes that benchmark Autistic socialising against non‐Autistic standards. This corrective ideology has been critiqued in the light of emerging research into the damaging impact of ...
