ĎURIŠ, ZDENĚK. "Periclimenes laevimanus sp. nov. from Vietnam, with a review of the Periclimenes granulimanus species group (Crustacea: Decapoda: Palaemonidae: Pontoniinae)." Zootaxa 2372, no. 1 (February 26, 2010): 106–25. http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.2372.1.12.

Abstract:

A new, hydroid-associated representative of the genus Periclimenes from Vietnam is described and illustrated. P. laevimanus sp. nov. is most similar to P. granulimanus Bruce, 1978, but differs from it by the more slender and smooth, not granulated, major second pereiopod and the non-dentate cutting edges of the minor second pereiopod. A new host is reported for P. granulimanus. Mouth parts are described and illustrated for P. brucei Ď uriš, 1990. This species is easily distinguished by its extremely elongate second pereiopods, with the carpus longer than the chela, and the walking legs lacking simple spines proximally from the distoventral series of paired spines. Periclimenes tonga Bruce, 1990 differs from other members of the species group by having only a single pair of dorsal telson spines. A key for the identification of species of the herein established P. granulimanus species group is provided. Types and/or museum specimens of some other Periclimenes species (P. hongkongensis Bruce, 1969, P. nomadophila Berggren, 1994, P. ruber Bruce, 1982, and P. toloensis Bruce, 1969) were examined to evaluate their relationship with the P. granulimanus species complex.

Abstract:

The pontoniine genus Allopontonia Bruce, 1972 has so far been represented by only a single species, A. iaini Bruce, 1972, a shallow water echinoderm associate (Bruce, 1972). First described from Zanzibar, it is one of the relatively few pontoniine species found in both the Indo-West Pacific and the Eastern Pacific regions (Wicksten 2000; Bruce 1987). The discovery of a second species is therefore of interest and an illustrated description is here provided. The single specimen was collected in the course of a CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research (CMAR) survey of the benthic fauna of the Australian Northwest Shelf region, Western Australia, by the fisheries research vessel Southern Surveyor and is held in the collection of the Museum Victoria. I am most grateful to Anna McCallum for the opportunity to study this specimen. Felicity McEnnulty provided the identification of the host echinoid.

BRUCE, A. J. "Additions to the genus Phycomenes Bruce, 2008 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Pontoniinae)." Zootaxa 2372, no. 1 (February 26, 2010): 367–68. http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.2372.1.28.

Abstract:

The genus Phycomenes was recently described by Bruce (2008)) for a small sea-grass inhabiting shrimp, Phycomenes zostericola Bruce, 2008, from south-east Queensland, Australia. The close similarity of this species to Periclimenes indicus (Kemp 1915) was noted. Subsequently specimens of Kemp’s species from the type locality, Chilka Lake, Orissa, India, were examined and the most characteristic features of the genus Phycomenes were found to be present, i.e., a transverse triangular median process on the fourth thoracic sternite and the greatly reduced size of the second pereiopods in comparison with other Periclimenes species, with a very well developed ocular ocellus. Periclimenes indicus is therefore transferred to the genus Phycomenes Bruce. Periclimenes cobourgi Bruce & Coombes, 1995 has also been noted as closely similar to Periclimenes indicus, showing the same major features and should also be considered as congeneric with Phycomenes zostericola. Similarly, examination of specimens of Periclimenes sulcatus Ďuriš, Horká, & Marin, 2008, and P. siankaanensis Martínez-Mayén, & Román-Contreras, 2006, kindly donated by Dr Zdenek Ďuriš and Dr Mario Martinez-Mayén to the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, show the same features and should be similarly placed in the genus Phycomenes. Martínez-Mayén and Román-Contreras (2006) considered P. siankaanensis to be a member of the “iridescens” species complex, including also P. iridescens Lebour, 1949, P. platalea Holthuis, 1951, P. antipathophilus Holthuis & Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1964, P. patae Heard & Spotte, 1991, and P. mclellandi Heard & Spotte, 1997. Periclimenes platalea has recently been removed from this complex and placed in the genus Rapipontonia Marin by Marin (2007). No examples of these species have been examined but it seems likely that some may possibly be better placed in Phycomenes. Some of these taxa have been reported as associates of coelenterate hosts rather than from sea-grass habitat, but such a coelenterate association has also been reported in the case of the holotype specimen of P. cobourgi found on a gorgonian host. The specimens of P. indicus were kindly donated by the Zoological Survey of India, Calcutta (ZSI). The specimens examined are deposited in the collections of the Northern Territory Museum, Darwin (NTM) and Queensland Museum, Brisbane (QM).

Full text

Abstract:

A recent publication by Bruce (2008a) reported the presence of Palaemonella spinulata Yokoya, 1936 in the Dampier Archipelago, Western Australia. This report noted that “The holotype specimen from Misaki, Japan, is considered to be lost (Holthuis 1952; Bruce 1970; Okuno pers. comm.). The designation of a neotype would appear useful but one from Japanese or nearby waters would be more appropriate than one of the present specimens”. The brief description provided by Yokoya (1936), with only a single figure showing the whole specimen, antennule, antenna, mandible, second maxilliped and posterior telson, is inadequate for comparison with other species of the genus. This deficiency has now been rectified by Hayashi (2009) who has provided a detailed and well illustrated description of P. spinulata and designated a neotype from Sagami Bay, near Misaki, the type locality. This re-description immediately indicated that the Western Australian specimens were not conspecific and they are now described as a new species. The specimens are held in the collections of the Western Australian Museum, Perth.

Abstract:

Men’s upper body underwear and the depiction of grime, dirt and blood on costumes have a long tradition in Hollywood films. This article explores the 34 undershirts worn by Bruce Willis and his stuntman in the 1988 action film Die Hard from the points of view of the maker, designer, actor, curator and spectator. The image of McClane and the undershirt became iconic in their depiction of a white, working-class, heroic masculinity. One of the many undershirts used in the film was donated to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American Culture costume collection. This one artefact and the 33 ‘lost’ doubles hold more clues to the undershirt’s past than the obvious connection to a major star; the exhibited object also brings the viewer into physical proximity with the art of Hollywood filmmaking. This article queries the different ‘authenticities’ of the garment, from its material believability as evidence of the character’s progression through the film, to its cultural signification legitimized by the perspectives of the makers and audiences, to its role as artefact authenticated by the museum and/or viewer. Analysis is correspondingly divided into costume in context, costume in production, costume as film image and costume as artefact.

Crustaceana 94, no. 4 (April 13, 2021): 467–86. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/15685403-bja10104.

Abstract:

Abstract The distribution of the semi-terrestrial burrowing crayfish Creaserinus fodiens (Cottle, 1863) in Ontario was updated based on the examination of the records stored in the crayfish database of the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto and specimens collected during field studies. New Ontario locality records are reported for this crayfish species from MacGregor Point Provincial Park and other nearby sites in Bruce County, along the shores of Lake Huron. These are among the northernmost locality records reported for this species in North America. These new records represent a northwestern range expansion for this crayfish species in southern Ontario. As a result of these new records, the revised distribution of this species in Ontario is estimated to cover an area of about 32 620 km2. This is an increase of 7620 km2 over a previous 1996 estimate of this range. Creaserinus fodiens is a vulnerable species in Ontario, mainly due to the loss of suitable wetland habitats. Thus, the new locations and the range expansion reported here provide some hopeful news about the long-term future of burrowing crayfishes in this Canadian province. At some of the new locations, C. fodiens was found together with Faxonius immunis (Hagen, 1870), another burrowing crayfish species. However, this analysis of all the relevant records found in the collections of the Royal Ontario Museum (Toronto) and the Canadian Museum of Nature (Ottawa) shows that our knowledge of the distribution of C. fodiens in Ontario remains quite incomplete. A survey of the conservation status and challenges for this crayfish species in various regions of North America was also undertaken.

Full text

Abstract:

Thouarella brucei Thomson and Ritchie, 1906 is redescribed from the type material present in the Museum of Natural History, London, the Zoological Museum of Amsterdam and the National Museum of Scotland. A lectotype and remaining paralectotypes are designated from the material from the latter. We also add a new record from west South Georgia Island. Material collected on Burdwood Bank, during the Brategg expedition and previously identified as T. brucei by Broch is here considered as a new species in the recently described genus Digitogorgia Zapata-Guardiola and López-González, 2010; Digitogorgia brochi sp. nov. Finally, a new species is added to the monotypic genus Tokoprymno Bayer, 1996, Tokoprymno anatis sp. nov., based on material collected north east of Elephant Island, during the Polarstern cruise ANT XIX/3. The study of these new taxa allows us to describe a wider variation in polyp scale morphology and a wider distribution in Southern Ocean waters, both geographical and bathymetrical. The new species are also compared with their respective congeners.

Abstract:

Esta pesquisa analisa a obra “Days” (2009) do artista norte-americano Bruce Nauman, exibida no Museu de Arte Moderna de Nova York (MoMA) de outubro de 2018 a fevereiro de 2019 na exposição “Bruce Nauman: Disappearing Atts”. Investigamos “Days” a partir do apagamento da imagem visual no estabelecimento de um espaço adequado ao surgimento de imagens sonoras, discutindo a relação entre silêncio e ruído, voz e loop como forma de gerar uma escuta da obra. Para tanto, consideramos as formulações de John Cage, Brandon LaBelle e do artista e teórico brasileiro Rodolfo Caesar, em uma espécie de escrita que também ocorre em uma espécie de loop que libera e retoma alguns aspectos de “Days”. Recorremos, ainda, a autores que têm investigado a obra do artista, entre eles Constance M. Lewallen e Barbara Rose. Finalmente, a pesquisa também se preocupa com a questão do tempo a partir da ordenação dos dias da semana e como o artista lida com isso. Para tanto, recorremos a Jonathan Crary, que tem lidado com questões de tempo na vida contemporânea.

Abstract:

This paper discloses the content of two manuscripts of John Ray that have hitherto been unknown to Ray scholars. The manuscripts survive in the Hampshire Record Office, having descended through the Prideaux-Brune family. They record information about Ray's tour of Italy in the 1660s that does not appear in his Observations … made in a journey through … the Low-countries, Germany, Italy and France (1673), including a visit to the museum of Athanasius Kircher in Rome, and provide clues concerning the composition of Ray's 1673 book.

Abstract:

This paper presents the seismic fragility assessment of the Smithsonian Institute Museum Support Center (MSC), which sustained appreciable damage during the 2011 Virginia earthquake. A three-dimensional (3-D) finite element model (FEM) for the building was created and validated using measured dynamic characteristics determined from field vibration test data. Two suites of bidirectional ground motions at different hazard levels were applied to the FEM to generate fragility curves for structural as well as nonstructural (storage cabinets) damage. The effect of brace yielding strength on structural and nonstructural damage is also investigated to provide recommendations for future retrofit. The fragility curves show that the spectral acceleration to cause structural damage to the building is not high. Due to low seismicity, however, the probability for the structure to be damaged at the design basis earthquake is small. Nevertheless, the probability for nonstructural damage is considerable, which is an important issue related to the seismic performance of the building.

Abstract:

At least nine bird species were described as new to science on the basis of material collected by Eduard Eversmann and Christian Pander during a Russian embassy headed by Aleksandr Negri to Bukhara in 1820–1821. We identified the type specimens and determined the type localities of these species, which are currently housed in natural history museums of Berlin, Germany, and Moskva, Russia. We suggest that, if only two subspecies of Otus brucei are recognized, the larger northern migratory one should be recognized as O. b. brucei (Hume, 1872), and the smaller southern nonmigratory one as O. b. semenowi (Zarudnyj & Härms, 1902), and we show that the name semenowi has been misapplied to the population from the Tarim Basin. We designate a lectotype for the nominal species Scops obsoleta Cabanis.

Full text

Abstract:

Discovery of a large population of the rare and poorly known carabid beetle Cicindis horni Bruch on the Salinas Grandes of C rdoba Province, Argentina provided an opportunity to record aspects of its behavior and life history, and to test several hypotheses previously made about it way of life. This highly unusual species was known in the literature from the description of only two museum specimens and its phylogenetic relationships ambiguous. Adults spend the night in search of food or mates swimming on the water surface of alkaline water bodies. Mid-tibial natatorial setae, tarsal setal fringes, ventral vestiture, and genal/pronotal planing surfaces plus decumbent and very sharply pointed mandibles are specific adaptations that permit adults of this species to behave as swimming superspecialist predators. Therefore, there have been four independent invasions of the aquatic habitat by adephagan Coleoptera. Populations of C. horni Bruch are probably limited by the extent of the great salt flats of Argentina (550,000 hectares) located in north-central Argentina and are further limited edaphically within the overall geographic range.

Abstract:

This paper discusses two objects once owned by the antiquary Thomas Lyte (1568–1638). The Lyte Genealogy, now in the British Library, is an illustrated pedigree of Britain’s monarchs, tracing the royal succession through multiple lines of descent from the Trojan prince Brute. It demonstrates the importance of antiquarianism, and the continuing relevance of the traditional British history derived from Geoffrey of Monmouth, in supporting the legitimacy of the Stuart succession. The Lyte Jewel, now in the British Museum, is a tablet miniature containing a portrait of Jamesiby Nicholas Hilliard, presented to Thomas Lyte by the king as a reward for his work on the Genealogy. New evidence points to the king’s jeweller, George Heriot, as its likely designer. Together, the Lyte Genealogy and the Lyte Jewel offer new insights into the antiquarian pursuits of the early Stuart gentry and the intellectual and material culture of the Jacobean court.

RésuméCette étude s'est intéressée à l'identification des différents écotypes de la race Barbarine, principale race ovine à queue grasse en Tunisie. Un inventaire national a été conduit dans les différents étages bioclimatiques du pays allant du Nord subhumide jusqu'au Sud Saharien, en passant par le Centre semi-aride. Les principaux résultats ont permis de mettre en évidence au sein de cette race 10 écotypes différents:1. Quatre écotypes au Nord, de grand format à tête rousse, de grand format à tête noire, à robe noire, et de type “Sardi” à museau, “lunettes” et membres noirs.2. Quatre écotypes au Centre, de format moyen avec dominance de la tête rousse, à tête rousse avec une liste frontale blanche, à tête claire tirant vers le blanc et à tête rousse et à queue arquée.3. Deux écotypes au Sud, de petit format à tête rousse, et de type “Sagâa” avec une tête blanche, un museau et des “lunettes” de couleur brune. Cette diversité d'écotypes au sein de la race Barbarine constitue un apport nouveau aux connaissances des races ovines autochtones. Jusqu'à maintenant, seuls deux écotypes, à tête rousse et tête noire, étaient répertoriés au sein de la race Barbarine.

Abstract:

A correlated colour temperature tunable, four-component, LED system suitable for illuminating traditional Chinese paintings painted with inorganic pigments (iop-TCPs) has been designed. This light source can meet the requirements for protective illumination and colour quality in museum illumination. The damage to iop-TCPs caused by the individual 450 nm, 510 nm, 583 nm and 650 nm monochromatic LEDs used to construct the LED system were obtained through a long-term illumination experiment. Then, we calculated the damage resulting from the corresponding four-component white LEDs with various spectral power distributions, the intensities of which were iterated by a brute force algorithm. The constructed spectral power distributions were evaluated by the damage and colour quality formulae. The results showed that the better colour quality spectral power distributions with higher correlated colour temperatures cause less damage to iop-TCPs. The lowest damage spectral power distributions, satisfying colour quality requirements with correlated colour temperatures ranging from 2700 K to 4000 K, were obtained by calculating the corresponding parameters of the formed spectral power distributions and further selection. This paper not only provides a colour temperature tunable, four-component, white LED system suitable for illuminating iop-TCPs but also sets out a methodology that can be used to identify white LEDs suitable for other cultural relics based on damage limitation and visual requirements.

Abstract:

Fiktionaliseret historie er på mode. I fantasy som serierne Game of Thrones og Outlander, der trækker på historisk funderede motiver og forestillingsverdener. Med fænomener som steampunk, der monterer artefakter fra Victoriatiden ind i andre historiske sammenhænge. I computerspil som Call of Duty: WWII, der repræsenterer Anden Verdenskrig. Sidste år blev betegnelsen “exofiktion” udråbt som en afløser for litteraturens autofiktive tendens. Nu skulle litteraturen ikke længere beskæftige sig med forfatterjeget, men med kendte og historiske personer. I dette nummer af Passage viser mødet mellem historie og fiktion sig i forskellige afskygninger på tværs af historiske perioder og medier. Nummeret afspejler, hvor langt tilbage tendensen til at bruge fiktionen for at forstå fortiden går og samtidig, hvordan sådanne manifestationer har ændret sig. Nummeret sætter også fokus på de mere problematiske sider af fiktionaliseret historie. Eksempelvis blev Jim Lyngvilds fiktionaliserede fremstilling af vikinger i forbindelse med Nationalmuseets vikingeudstilling i 2018 voldsomt kritiseret af museumsfolk og historikere, som var kritisk indstillede over for en sammenblanding af historie og fiktion på et historisk museum, hvor publikum forventer at møde fakta og ikke fiktion. En fejlrepræsentation af fortiden kan være problematisk, også selvom det er i en traditionel fiktiv genre eller med tydelige tegn på fiktionalitet, fordi læseren, beskueren eller forbrugeren får en fejlopfattelse af fortiden og dens personer. Men fiktionaliseret historie kan i bedste fald give en historisk bevidsthed gennem sit billedskabende potentiale, som historieskrivningen har svært ved at fremstille. Fiktionaliseret historie er altså ikke simpel. Det indebærer komplicerede strategier, der trækker historiske, mediemæssige, kommercielle og sommetider etiske spørgsmål med sig. Samtidig med, at fiktionaliseret historie kan være en vej til viden om en given historisk periode, begivenhed eller person, røber den med sin vinkel og sit særlige greb på historien sin egen tids historiske specificitet. Det har vi med dette nummer af Passage søgt at vise gennem en række forskelligartede bidrag.

Abstract:

We propose an image-based class retrieval system for ancient Roman Republican coins that can be instrumental in various archaeological applications such as museums, Numismatics study, and even online auctions websites. For such applications, the aim is not only classification of a given coin, but also the retrieval of its information from standard reference book. Such classification and information retrieval is performed by our proposed system via a user friendly graphical user interface (GUI). The query coin image gets matched with exemplar images of each coin class stored in the database. The retrieved coin classes are then displayed in the GUI along with their descriptions from a reference book. However, it is highly impractical to match a query image with each of the class exemplar images as there are 10 exemplar images for each of the 60 coin classes. Similarly, displaying all the retrieved coin classes and their respective information in the GUI will cause user inconvenience. Consequently, to avoid such brute-force matching, we incrementally vary the number of matches per class to find the least matches attaining the maximum classification accuracy. In a similar manner, we also extend the search space for coin class to find the minimal number of retrieved classes that achieve maximum classification accuracy. On the current dataset, our system successfully attains a classification accuracy of 99% for five matches per class such that the top ten retrieved classes are considered. As a result, the computational complexity is reduced by matching the query image with only half of the exemplar images per class. In addition, displaying the top 10 retrieved classes is far more convenient than displaying all 60 classes.

Abstract:

Steam, fire and hard yakka created the successful sugar cane industry!<br />There is more to the sweet tropical grass than the addictive sweet taste, however, and there is more to the Australian Sugar Museum, on the corner of the Bruce Highway and Peregrine Street, Mourilyan, south of Innisfail in far north Queensland, than a collection of old farming equipment.<br />Within its celebration of the sugar industry and the workers whose sweat watered the cane fields, there is an ongoing celebration of learning and art that is affecting not only Queensland but Australia as a whole.
