- De Ciuitate DeiDe Ciuitate Dei is a prose work in 22 books, preceded by a short letter, by Augustine of Hippo. It was written in the 5th century AD. The work describes two societies: one consists of the elect, that is the city of God, whereas the other consists of the damned, that is the city of man. Books 1-10 detail how pagan communities conceived divine powers. Books 11-22 provide a theological interpretation of the history of humankind. The source of the Latin text is The Latin Library (http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/august.html)
- Neulateinische WortlisteThe Neolatin Wordlist (Neulateinische Wortliste; NLW) is a lexical resource that collects entries from Latin texts written in Europe between 1300 and 1600. The wordlist consists of circa 22000 lemmas. The data originally provided by the author Johann Ramminger have been modelled as Linked Open Data and are now published in LiLa.

- Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Metal-Tolerant Pseudomonas fluorescens on Mitigating Cadmium and Zinc Stress in TomatoHeavy metal (HM) contamination in agricultural soils poses a significant threat to soil health and plant productivity. This study investigates the impact of cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) stress on tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum) and explores the mitigation potential of microbial biostimulants (MBs), including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Pseudomonas fluorescens So_08 (PGPR), over a 52-day period using multi-omics ap-proaches. Root exudate profiling revealed distinct metabolic changes under HM stress, which compromised soil-plant interactions. Cd stress reduced the secretion of phe-nylpropanoids (sum LogFC: -45.18), lipids (sum LogFC: -27.67), and isoprenoids (sum LogFC: -11-67), key metabolites in antioxidative defense, while also suppressing rhi-zosphere fungal populations. Conversely, Zn stress enhanced lipid exudation (such as sphingolipids and sterols, as sum LogFC of 8,72 and 9.99, respectively) to maintain membrane integrity and reshaped rhizobacterial communities. The MBs application mitigated HM-induced stress by enhancing specialized metabolite syntheses, including cinnamic acids, terpenoids, and flavonoids, which promoted crop resilience. MBs also reshaped microbial diversity, fostering beneficial species like Portibacter spp., Alkalitalea saponilacus under Cd stress, and stimulating rhizobacteria like Aggregatilinea spp. under Zn stress. Specifically, under Cd stress, bacterial diversity remained relatively stable, suggesting their resilience to Cd. However, fungal communities exhibited greater sen-sitivity, with a decline in diversity in Cd-treated soils and partial recovery when MBs were applied. Conversely, Zn stress caused decline in bacterial α-diversity, while fungal diversity was maintained, indicating that Zn acts as an ecological filter that suppresses sensitive bacterial taxa and favors Zn-tolerant fungal species. Multi-omics data integration combined with network analysis highlighted key features associated with improved nutrient availability and reduced HM toxicity under MB treatments, including metabo-lites and microbial taxa linked to sulfur cycling, nitrogen metabolism, and iron reduction pathways. These findings demonstrate that MBs can modulate plant metabolic responses and restore rhizosphere microbial communities under Cd and Zn stress, with PGPR showing broader metabolomic recovery effects and AMF influencing specific metabolite pathways. This study provides new insights into plant-microbe interactions in HM-contaminated environments, supporting the potential application of biostimulants for sustainable soil remediation and plant health improvement.

- Efficacy of a mycotoxin-deactivating product to reduce the impact of Fusarium mycotoxin-contaminated rations in dairy cows during early lactation Supplementary table 1. Least squares means and associated SEM for reproductive parameters in lactating Holstein cows from 7 to 56 DIM (n = 10/group; Control = CTR; Mycotoxin = MTX; Mycotoxin-deactivating product = MDP). Three primiparous (P) and 7 multiparous (M) (lactation no.: CTR = 3.33±1.50, MTX = 3.67 ±1.33, MDP 3.5±1.15) cows were enrolled per group. The CTR diet was supplemented with a placebo (0.34% DM), the MTX ration was added a mycotoxin contaminated culture medium (0.19%) and placebo (0.19%), whereas the MDP was supplemented with the culture medium (0.19%) and MDP product (Mycofix, BIOMIN Holding, GmbH, Tulln, Austria; 0.15%), a mycotoxin-deactivating product. Different letters indicate statistical differences (a-b-c P 0.05).
- Computational Imaging and Star-Targeting Spectroscopy – Media-Archaeological PerspectiveThis dataset accompanies and expands upon the article "The Rise of Computational Images: The Role of Star-Targeting Photospectroscopy", offering a systematic reorganization of the key concepts, sources, and research questions emerging from a historical-epistemological investigation of nineteenth-century spectroscopy, interpreted through the lens of computational imaging and media archaeology. From a media-archaeological perspective, the dataset reconstructs the complex interplay of visual practices and technical-scientific apparatuses that, throughout the nineteenth century, contributed to the emergence of a regime of visibility grounded in automatic registration, the minimization of subjective interpretation, and the rise of "operative invisuality". Particular focus is placed on spectral maps and optical instruments as tools of standardization, codification, and pattern recognition, thus highlighting the transition from visual observation to diagrammatic computation. The dataset includes: - Diagram_ (.jpg): A visual rendering of the core conceptual relations articulated in the paper, useful to trace continuities, discontinuities, and critical transitions from spectroscopic images to algorithmic vision. - Nodes_ (.pdf): A structured vocabulary of epistemic concepts drawn from the article, each accompanied by a short definition. This conceptual mapping outlines the visual and technical genealogy of spectroscopy as a precursor to computational imaging. - QA_ (.pdf): A document collecting theoretical annotations, open questions, and epistemological reflections on image standards, algorithmic visibility, and computational mediation, within a broader historical framework. - Quotations Tags_ (.pdf): A curated selection of excerpts from primary and secondary sources used in the article, annotated and tagged according to visual-semiotic and media categories (e.g., representation, instrumentation, printing techniques, standardization, visibility), in line with a media-archaeological methodology. This dataset is intended for scholars and researchers in the fields of scientific visualization, history of optics and spectroscopy, computational imaging, and visual epistemology. It provides a conceptual and archival foundation for further studies on the operational logics, representational infrastructures, and epistemic functions of scientific images across the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries.
