The Afrotropical genera Gamia and Artitropa are only known to feed on species of Dracaena (Asparagaceae), and together with Leona lissa Evans, which may require a new genus, they are the only Afrotropical Hesperiidae that feed on this unusual host genus. We present partial life histories of two species of Gamia, 22 taxa of Artitropa (of at least 12 species, and including several undescribed taxa), and notes on the life history of L. lissa. Based on life history information, Gamia and Artitropa are considered likely to form a monophyletic group, probably most closely related to some of the palm

Anopheles gambiae is a major vector of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Given the widespread emergence of pesticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae populations, vector control programs involving the release of sterile males or genetically-modified male mosquitoes designed to diminish malaria transmission are eliciting renewed interest. The success of such mosquito release projects depends on the ability of released males to effectively mate and transfer sperm to wild females.

Abstract:

Abstract Following the construction of the Gamma Field at the Institute of Radiation Breeding in 1960, mutation breeding was accelerated in Japan. The facility is used, with a radiation dose up to 2 Gy/day (ca. 300,000 times that of natural background), to induce mutations at a higher frequency than occurs in nature. There have been 318 direct- use mutant cultivars representing 79 species generated through irradiation of gamma-rays, X-rays, ion beams and chemicals and somaclonal variation. Approximately 79% of these direct-use cultivars were induced by radiation. There have been 375 indirect-use mutant cultivars, including 332 rice, of which 162 cultivars (48.8%) were derived from the semi-dwarf mutant cv. 'Reimei'. The economic impact of these mutant cultivars, primarily of rice and soybean, is very large. Some useful mutations are discussed for rice, such as low digestible protein content, low amylose content, giant embryo and non-shattering. Useful mutations in soybean such as radiosensitivity, fatty acid composition and super-nodulation have been identified. Japanese pear and apple resistant to Alternaria disease have also been identified. The achievements of biological research such as characterization and determination of deletion size generated by gamma-rays, the effect of deletion size and the location, and a mechanism of dominant mutation induction are identified. Similarly, genetic studies on mutations generated through the use of gamma-ray induced mutations, such as phytochrome response, aluminium tolerance, stay-green (Mendel's gene) and epicuticular wax have also been conducted. Mutation breeding is a very useful technology for isolating genes and for elucidating gene functions and metabolic pathways in various crops.

AbstractIn AVM surgery perioperative complications can arise and can have serious perioperative consequences. Surgically related complications in AVM treatment, in many cases, can be avoided by paying attention to details:1. Careful selection of the patient: - addressing a patient with eloquent AVM to Gamma Knife treatment - preoperative treatment with selective embolization of the accessible deep feeders - preoperative gamma knife or embolize those patient with an over-expressed venous pattern2. Meticulous coagulation of deep medullary feeders: - Using dirty coagulation - Using dry non-stick coagulation - Using micro clips - Using laser - Reaching the choroidal vessel in the ventricle when possible - Avoiding occlusive coagulation with hemostatic agents3. Check and avoiding any residual of the AVM4. Keep the patient under pressure control during postoperative periodFulfilling these steps contributes to reduce complications in this difficult surgery, leading to a safer treatment that compares favorably with natural history of brain arteriovenous malformations.

Abstract:

Abstract Many students of social insects view the nest as little more than a substrate upon which social life unfolds. Nest architecture is generally neglected in favour of studies that ask the perennially more fashionable questions, often variations and derivatives of the query 'who laid the eggs?' In Polistes, specific issues of genetical relatedness and reproduction capture the greatest attention (Reeve 1991). These studies have inspired several general theories of social evolution and provided tests of others, but studies of nest architecture of Polistes remain relatively obscure. Yet, characteristics of the paper nest address many fundamental topics, such as the evolution of complex chains of behaviours (Downing and Jeanne 1987, 1988, 1990; Wenzel 1993), the division of labour (Jeanne 1986a), the self-organization of construction behaviour (Deneubourg et al. 1992; Karsai and Penzes 1993), and kin recognition (Gamboa et al. 1986b; Espelie et al. 1990; Singer and Espelie 1992).

Abstract:

Over the past two decades, coronavirus-associated diseases such as SARS and MERS have challenged the public health systems globally. Around 2002-2003, a near-pandemic of a previously unknown β-coronavirus, named SARS-CoV, arose in China and 29 other countries. Not much attention was paid to it post-disappearance of this outbreak. An understanding of the coronavirus began only after alarming predictions of the virus’s re-emergence began in 2007. Identification from previous studies revealed that bats have proven to be a major reservoir of animal coronavirus. SARS-related bat coronaviruses have all the essential components of SARS-virus, have along with similar genome sequences to that of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, and thus, are able to cause infection and transmit between humans directly. Later in 2012, another unknown β-coronavirus named Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERSCoV), with close relation to the SARS-CoV, caused an epidemic limited to the MiddleEast. The emergence of yet another bat-origin coronavirus, α-coronavirus, in China caused epizootic disease in pigs, thus named swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV). Subsequently, unattended warnings of 12 years led to the most fatal bat-derived sarbecovirus, recognized as SARS CoV-2, springing up in November 2019, sweeping the globe. The predictions of SARS-CoV-2 to be a natural event with association to transmission directly from bats to humans or through an intermediate host have been essentially proven to be true. SARS-Cov-2 shares genetic properties with many other sarbecoviruses; this slies fully within their genetic cluster and is, thus, a naturally emerged virus. Based on the genomic structure coronavirus is mainly divided into four subgroups alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. CoVs are fall under the family Coronaviridae, and subfamily Orthocoronavirinae. The virus is protected by receptor binding domain (RBD) that binds to ACE2 receptor found in kidneys, lungs, heart and gastrointestinal tract, which that promote viral entry into target cells. Domestic animals can act as intermediary hosts in the transmission of viruses from natural hosts to people. Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea CoV(PEDC), which originated in pigs, was found to be similar to SADS-CoV. It has been transferred from bats to pigs. SADS-CoV was first found in rhinolophids or horseshoe bat, before the SARS epidemic Recombination of bat SARSr-CoVs, or recombined virus, infected and adapted to civets and humans. MERS-CoV is a zoonotic virus. It was transferred from dromedary camels to humans. The first confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-like viruses were found in raccoon dogs in live animal markets and palm civets. Another bat coronavirus, CoV RaTG13, was isolated from the Rhinolophus affinis bats. Corona variants are classified into variants of concern (VOCS), variants of interest (VOI), variants of high consequence (VOHC), and variants being monitored (VBM). Some common coronaviruses of human are 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1, which infect the upper-respiratory tract.

Abstract:

The earliest archaeological spindle graph was published in 1883 by natural historian and avocational archaeologist Charles C. Abbott. Evidence that he obtained the idea from paleontology, which first published spindle graphs in the 1830s and 1840s, is circumstantial at best, and differences in graph styles weigh against such borrowing. Several spindle graphs published in the 1890s and early 1900s by archaeologist William Henry Holmes either depict his views on inevitable progressive evolution—a theory rapidly falling from anthropological favor—or were so speculative as to likely have had little influence on the discipline. During the first couple decades of the twentieth century, physicist/geographer/anthropologist Franz Boas (often referred to as the father of anthropology) published numerous line graphs of quantitative data. He influenced archaeologists Leslie Spier and Manual Gamio who used line graphs to display temporally varying frequencies of artifacts. About the same time, the wife and husband team of Madeleine Kidder and Alfred V. Kidder published several line graphs of relative frequencies of pottery types against stratigraphic provenience, seemingly largely as a result of Madeleine’s influence because Alfred never again published such a graph and instead favored phyletic seriation graphs of a type reminiscent of Sir William Flinders Petrie’s sequence dating graphs from the turn of the century.

Abstract:

It is often taken as a matter of established fact that the difference between a good scientist and a great scientist is the ability to distinguish in advance which problems are going to be the important ones. I think this belief is a reflection of the fact that history is written by the winners: Professor X chooses a problem and with much hard work solves it, but it turns out not to have important consequences, so it and he are forgotten; Professor Y does the same, but this time the result spurs further work or even opens new and unforeseeable regions of science, so he naturally feels that his “intuition” was correct. But how do you distinguish his intuition from a lucky guess? I suggest that a study of the history of science tells us that luck plays a significant part. Consider, for example, Lord Rutherford’s discovery of the nuclear atom—perhaps the most important experimental discovery of the twentieth century, in that it led to quantum theory and the whole of nuclear physics. To set the stage: By the first few years of the twentieth century it had been determined that there were three kinds of radioactive emissions, termed alpha, beta, and gamma rays. The gamma rays were electromagnetic in nature, the beta rays were electrons, and Rutherford had just shown that the alpha rays were in fact helium; or rather, as he put it, the alpha rays were a stream of particles zipping along at roughly 10,000 miles per second which, after they slowed down and lost their electric charge, became helium atoms. (He didn’t realize at the time that they “lost” their positive electric charge by picking up negatively charged electrons.) What next? Well, the natural thing to do was to see how these radioactive emissions interacted with matter. This had already been done with the beta and gamma radiations: a stream of these radiations had been directed at various targets, and such parameters as their depth of penetration and ionizing capabilities had been measured, with no particular insights gained (an example of Professor X’s work).

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on how gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are emerging as unique tools in the study of broad areas of astronomy and physics by virtue of their special properties. The unassailable fact about GRBs that makes them such great probes is that they are fantastically bright and so can be seen to the farthest reaches of the observable Universe. In parallel with the ongoing study of GRB events and progenitors, new lines of inquiry have burgeoned: using GRBs as unique probes of the Universe in ways that are almost completely divorced from the nature of GRBs themselves. Topics discussed include studies of gas, dust, and galaxies; the history of star formation; measuring reionization and the first objects in the universe; neutrinos, gravitational waves, and cosmic rays; quantum gravity and the expansion of the universe; and the future of GRBs.

Abstract At first glance, provincial New York may seem to have been what H. L. Mencken once called the South, a “Sahara of the Bozart,” that is, a cultural desert. In 1688 Charles Lodwick was requested to provide the Royal Society with “a compendious Natural History of that Countrey.” He apologized for taking four years to do the job but explained in 1692 that “where Masters of Ships are ye chiefest Mathematicians & ye Natives [the chief] Geographers, with such tools you must not expect a good Fabrick. . . .” James Petiver, a prominent Fellow of the Royal Society, tried for three years (1692-95) to establish a scientific correspondence with Dr. Alexander Innis at Boscobell House, near Hempstead, Long Island; but Innis never replied. Petiver tried again with one Robert Gamble in 1713–14; yet, once again, silence from New York. Three decades later, in 1742, Cadwallader Colden expressed his appreciation to a London correspondent for the opportunity “to communicate some thoughts in natural philosophy which have remained many years with me undigested, for we scarcely have a man in this country that takes any pleasure in such kinds of speculations.”

Abstract:

Much of Azerbaijan’s Absheron Peninsula is contaminated by natural U-series and Th-series radionuclides, released in the production of oil and gas and, to a lesser extent, by anthropogenic radionuclides, including Sr-90 and Cs-137, from local industrial activities and trans-border transport. The region contains a large number of pipelines and artificial lagoons that have been used to retain excess groundwater and oil residues. In spite of the long history of the oil and gas industry, radioecological investigations have not been carried out until recently. The purpose of this project is to dete

Abstract:

La ocupación del yacimiento arqueológico de Segobriga se extiende en el cerro de Cabeza de Griego (Saelices, Cuenca) entre la Segunda Edad del Hierro y la Época Medieval. Para reconstruir su historia a lo largo de estos siglos contamos con los datos estratigráficos aportados por las excavaciones realizadas desde los años 50 del siglo XX hasta la actualidad, pero también con la información manuscrita referente a los hallazgos antiguos y trabajos arqueológicos de los siglos XVIII y XIX. Al mismo tiempo, los estudios vinculados a la epigrafía, la arquitectura, decoración arquitectónica y escultur

ABSTRACT: Clays, mudstones and shales above CO2 storage reservoirs are all together defining the top seal. In this paper, we evaluate the constrained modulus (M) and permeability (k) of clay sediments, mudstones and shales from the Horda Platform area, offshore Norway, where the CO2 storage sites Aurora, Smeaheia and Luna are located. We utilize a dataset of uniaxial strain tests in depth range 0-2.6 km including Quaternary clays from geotechnical site investigations (depth &lt;220m), three mudstones (depth ca 1.1-1.4km) and one deep shale (depth ca 2.6km) and combine with the larger NGI d
