The e-NDP project : collaborative digital edition of the Chapter registers of Notre-Dame of Paris (1326-1504). Ground-truth for handwriting text recognition (HTR) on late medieval manuscripts.

<p>The <a href="https://endp.hypotheses.org/">e-NDP project</a>, funded by the ANR, is led by the <a href="https://lamop.hypotheses.org/6870">LaMOP</a> (Julie Claustre and Darwin Smith).</p> <p>The project&#39;s partners are the Archives nationales, the&nbsp;Biblioth&egrave;que nationale de France (Department of Manuscripts, Biblioth&egrave;que de l&#39;Arsenal), the &Eacute;cole nationale des chartes and the Biblioth&egrave;que Mazarine.</p> <p>The e-NDP project aims at renewing our knowledge on <strong>Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral</strong> through the creation of a collaborative digital edition of the registers of its Chapter (1326-1504, <em>AN LL 105-128</em>), the community of 51 canons meeting three times a week on set days to take all administrative, financial and practical decisions pertaining to the cathedral, its estate and the society living in its cloister. This corpus has never been the object of a comprehensive study to understand the workings and history of this urban enclave and powerful community. The collaborative digital edition is based on a process of<strong> handwriting text recognition (HTR)</strong>, tested and supervised by scholars, researchers and engineers combining expertise in Medieval history, paleography, philology and digital humanities. The edition shall allow a better insight into the Chapter&rsquo;s administration, into its economical and political power within Paris, and the relationships it maintained with other institutions in the city.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Section 1 : The e-NDP ground-truth dataset for Handwriting text recognition.</strong></p> <p>The full e-NDP corpus kept today in the French National Archives and was entirely digitized and described in its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.siv.archives-nationales.culture.gouv.fr/siv/rechercheconsultation/consultation/ir/consultationIR.action?formCaller=GENERALISTE&amp;irId=FRAN_IR_059635">catalog</a>&nbsp;in 2022.</p> <p>The first major goal of the&nbsp;e-NDP projet is to propose a first automatic transcription of the 14k pages composing the 26 chapter registers. To achieve this goal representative samples from&nbsp;each one of the volumes were selected and transcribed in order to train a specialized HTR model able to propose a high quality automatic transcription. The collected ground-truth released on this repository currently has <strong>512 pages from the 26 registers</strong> of the cathedral chapter preserved in the National Archives (LL105 - LL128, <strong>1326-1504</strong>). The transcriptions were manually completed in <strong>two rounds</strong> by a group of 12 contributors, historians and paleographers, over the course of 2021-2022 using <a href="https://escriptorium.paris.inria.fr/">eScriptorium </a>as annotation environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ground-truth features :</strong></p> <p><br> <em>Number of hands </em>: according to our estimates no fewer than 18&nbsp;main hands were involved in the writing of the registers during the medieval period.&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Language</em> : More than 98% of the content of the registers was written in Latin, the rest in French. The exact percentage is hard to estimate because the vernacular language is often used in formulae, notes and comments. It is rare to find entire pages or blocks written in French.&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Script family</em> : The registers were written using a Cursive script (ca. late XIIIe - XVIe).</p> <p><em>Documental typology</em> : The volumes containing the chapter conclusions were conceived to serve&nbsp;as memorial&nbsp;records, but above all as documents for regular use and consultation in the daily practice of administration and management. In diplomatics the notion of &quot;documentary manuscripts&quot; is used to describe this kind of sources&nbsp;also by opposition to books and litterary or&nbsp;normative&nbsp;manuscripts.</p> <table align="center"> <caption><strong>Ground truth statistics</strong></caption> <tbody> <tr> <th>Text units</th> <th>Count</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Pages</td> <td>512</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Annotated regions (see section 2)</td> <td>2448</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Lines of text</td> <td>34231</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Tokens</td> <td>205083</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Characters</td> <td>3320407</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Rules of transcription :</strong></p> <ul> <li>The abbreviations have been resolved, both those by suspension (<code>facimꝰ</code> ---&gt; <code>facimus</code>) and by contraction (<code>d&ntilde;i</code> --&gt; <code>domini</code>).

Riparian remnant species registered at headwater streams in San Juan Zitácuaro, Mich.

Studying riparian vegetation allows understanding the floristic diversity patterns along the fluvial network, and because of the level of transformation they show, it is essential to generate knowledge to guide further recovery. This paper analyzed the remaining riparian tree vegetation in 30 sites in streams located in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, by describing the structure, species richness, and geographic setting (elevation, precipitation, hydrological order, and land cover), and by identifying possible invasive species. Elevation of the sites was associated with precipitation, hydrologic order, and land cover being crossed by the streams. Fifty-six mostly tree species were recorded, which increased in density and height with elevation. Some of the species with the highest importance value include Roldana angulifolia, Cestrum fulvescens, Ilex tolucana, Alnus acuminata, Buddleja cordata, and Fraxinus udhei. Four physiognomic groups emerged based on the number of species, genera and families, the number of branches, and the number, height, and diameter of individuals. High species turnover was found between sites, mainly with those located at higher elevations. The occurrence of potentially invasive species was shown to be associated with the density of individuals, with Shannon's diversity index (H'), and with geographic attributes such as elevation and hydrological order. The analyzed riverbanks show human intervention, being necessary to discriminate those impacts associated with flow alteration from those associated with land cover change.

<p>The data of the historical registers is based on&nbsp;the historical document &ldquo;Bergbeschau Schwaz/Rottenburg/Rattenberg&rdquo; of the 17<sup>th</sup> century (approx. 1666). The document is currently stored by the Salinenarchiv Bad Ischl) using the Identifier XXD6.The document contains 6 coloured maps of the mining areas in the mining district of Schwaz (Falkenstein, Ringenwechsel, Mehren/Merach, Reichental, Palleiten) as well as the mining district of Rattenberg (Gro&szlig;-, Kleinkogel, Geyer). Furthermore, it contains detailed mine descriptions and localisations of the mines in the maps.</p> <p>Historical Mine Register: Sorting is done by mining area, main pit / mine and associated mine sections.&nbsp;The historical writings of the mines and mine sections are summarized in separate columns (alternate writing). Mines written in capital letters symbolize latin characters within the historical document. All mines received an Identifier and URIs which lead to a Knowledge Graph (graph_Link). In a separate column the mines also received a standard spelling (mine_name_standard). The mentioned mines were compared to two geological maps created by Herwig Pirkl (1961). Mines that could be also be georeferenced by comparison also received a geo_link to OpenStreetMap as well as HIK (&lsquo;Historische Kartenwerke Tirol&rsquo;).

BIFROST: A method for registering diverse imaging datasets

<p>The heterogeneity of brain imaging methods in neuroscience provides rich data that cannot be captured by a single technique, and our interpretations benefit from approaches that enable easy comparison both within and across different data types. For example, comparing brain-wide neural dynamics across experiments and aligning such data to anatomical resources, such as gene expression patterns or connectomes, requires precise alignment to a common set of anatomical coordinates. However, this is challenging because registering in vivo functional imaging data to ex vivo reference atlases requires accommodating differences in imaging modality, microscope specification, and sample preparation. We overcome these challenges in Drosophila by building an in vivo reference atlas from multiphoton-imaged brains, called the Functional Drosophila Atlas (FDA). We then develop a two-step pipeline, BrIdge For Registering Over Statistical Templates (BIFROST), for transforming neural imaging data into this common space and for importing ex vivo resources such as connectomes. Using genetically labeled cell types as ground truth, we demonstrate registration with a precision of less than 10 microns. Overall, BIFROST provides a pipeline for registering functional imaging datasets in the fly, both within and across experiments.</p>

World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) Repackaged hash://sha256/4e969a1c8243b523b093d3a05fd5f7683479c2919e7d83e8b1383c5e5ef1d4e5 hash://md5/fb7559ce707d11f96a878d8a8a79a661

<h1>Introduction</h1> <p>The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) (Ahyong et al. 2024) aims to &ldquo;[&hellip;] provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms, including information on synonymy. While the highest priority goes to valid names, other names in use are included so that this register can serve as a guide to interpret taxonomic literature. [&hellip;]&rdquo;</p> <p>This data publication contains a verifiable copy of the World Register of Marine Species as well as a streamable version in json-line format. The aims of this publication are to:</p> <ol> <li> <p>provide a signed citation (Elliott, Poelen, and Fortes 2023) for a copy of WoRMS</p> </li> <li> <p>prepare WoRMS to be included in the Nomer Corpus of Taxonomic Resources (J. H. (ed. ). Poelen 2023).</p> </li> <li> <p>pre-process the World Register of Marine Species to facilitate optimized indexing and offline taxonomic name alignments using tools like Nomer (J. Poelen and Salim 2023).</p> </li> </ol> <p>Overall, the publications aims to facilitate taxonomic name alignment using the wealth of information provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) to help enable fast, reproduceable, offline-enabled alignment of namelists with taxonomic resources of known provenance (or origin).</p> <p>An example of an application facilitated by this publication is the Taxonomic Name Alignment tool as provided through https://github.com/globalbioticinteractions/name-alignment-template.

BRAIN Journal-A Synoptic of Software Implementation for Shift Registers Based on 16th Degree Primitive Polynomials-Figure 4. Scheme for the polynomial with [16, 14, 13, 11] tap sequence

<p>A simulation program for the functioning on LFSR of the 16th degree for the Galois implementation was developed. In the following example an analysis for the 14 selected primitive polynomials will be presented. A list with the positions which will influence the future state is called tap sequence.</p> <p>This sequence can be represented by a polynomial mod 2, only with coefficients 1 and 0, called Feedback Polynomial or Characteristic Polynomial. For the above scheme this polynomial is: P(X)= X^16+X^14+X^13+X^11+1</p>

BRAIN Journal-A Synoptic of Software Implementation for Shift Registers Based on 16th Degree Primitive Polynomials-Figure 3. Galois implementation

<p>In Galois implementation there is a Shift Register, whose content is modified each step at a binary value sent to the output. In Galois configuration the single shifted out bit is XOR ed with several bits in the shift register and in conventional configuration each new bit input to the shift register is the XOR of several bits in the register.</p>

BRAIN Journal-A Synoptic of Software Implementation for Shift Registers Based on 16th Degree Primitive Polynomials-Figure 2. Fibonacci implementation

<p>A LFSR can be represented as a polynomial of variable x referred to as the generator polynomial or the characteristic polynomial. The input bit is given from a linear function of the initial status for a special shift register called Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR). The initial value of the register is called seed and the produced sequence is completely determined by the initial status. Because the register has a finite number of possible statuses, after a period the sequence will be repeated. If the feedback function is very well chosen, the produced sequence will be random and the cycle will be very long, called by Golomb (1967) maximum lengths shift register sequences. Goresky and Klapper (2004) show two possibilities to implement a LFSR: &bull; Fibonacci Form &bull; Galois.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

BRAIN Journal-A Synoptic of Software Implementation for Shift Registers Based on 16th Degree Primitive Polynomials-Figure 1. Basis scheme for a Feedback Shift Register

<p>Every LFSR works by taking the XOR of the selected bits in its internal state and any LFSR containing all zero bits will never move to any other state, so one possible state must be excluded from any cycle. A LFSR is composed of memory cells connected together as a shift register with linear feedback. In digital circuits a shift register is formed by flip-flops and EXOR gates chained together with a synchronous clock. Shift registers are a form of sequential logic like counters. Always the shift registers produce a discrete delay of a digital signal or waveform. Considering that a shift register has n stages, the waveform is delayed by n discrete clock times. Usually the naming of the shift register follows a type of convention shown normally in digital logic, with the least significant bit on the left. According to the communication protocol, the signals will be addressed, not the registers. There are n+1 signals for each n-bit register. Always the next state of an LFSR is uniquely determined from the previous one by the feedback network. Any LFSR will generate a sequence of different states starting with the initial one, called seed. A feedback shift register is composed of: - a shift register - a feedback function.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The distribution obtained depending on the length of the input string shows that time depends on the input length, but for lengths even closer together, the times are also close (this can be seen in Figure 8 for 20 bits inputs). Time does not change so much depending on which of the 14 different 16th degree primitive polynomials has been used.&nbsp;</p>
