Abstract:
Abstract This paper addresses the Hittite word giš māri-, which designates a kind of weapon and is often translated as ‘mari-spear’. A philological re-evaluation of the Hittite attestations rather calls for the meaning ‘scimitar (sickle-shaped sword),’ which has previously been suggested but was largely disregarded. At the same time, archaeological evidence for the presence of scimitars in the Hittite culture is adduced. Subsequently, the role of this type of weapon in the ancient Near East is reassessed. Finally, a new Indo-European etymology for the word māri- is offered, which brings additional support for the meaning ‘scimitar (sickle-shaped sword).’

Abstract:
Serrapinnus potiguar, new species, is described from the rio Ceará-Mirim, a coastal drainage in the Rio Grande do Norte State, northeastern Brazil. The new species is distinguished from the other species of the genus by the shape and arrangement of the ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays of the sexually dimorphic males; where the hypertrophied elements present the shape of a series of scimitars arranged radially, forming a semi-circle on the ventral margin of the caudal peduncle. Furthermore, the new species is diagnosed from S. heterodonand S. piaba, sympatric congeners from the northeastern Brazilian drainages, respectively by the presence of incomplete lateral line and teeth bearing at most five cusps.

Abstract:
Scimitar syndrome is characterised by right lung hypoplasia and abnormal pulmonary venous return, known as the ‘scimitar vein’. We report the case of an infant girl with scimitar syndrome who developed a severe respiratory distress mimicking asthma. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) was diagnosed, attributed to scimitar vein stenosis and a left-to-right shunt. Scimitar vein stenosis, a rare complication of scimitar syndrome, can lead to severe PH, highlighting the importance of prompt management in specialised care centres.

Abstract:
A 19-year-old symptomatic female was diagnosed with scimitar syndrome variant, in which the right pulmonary veins drained into the left atrium and inferior vena cava through an anomalous venous connection (the so-called scimitar vein). Because of the long distance between the scimitar vein and the left atrium, surgical rerouting of the scimitar vein was expected to be difficult. Therefore, after confirmation of insignificant hemodynamic changes by a balloon occlusion test of the scimitar vein, simple ligation of the scimitar vein via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, a minimally invasive procedure, was successfully performed.

Abstract:
The world is facing an unprecedented loss of biodiversity caused by anthropogenic environmental change. Captive breeding and reintroduction can help mitigate the effects of biodiversity loss for some endangered species, but to accomplish this, captive populations need to be self-sustainable. Intensive population management aims to achieve sustainability by maximising the retention of genetic diversity, maintaining demographic stability, and reducing adaptation to captivity. Recent evaluations of captive populations have indicated that many are not meeting their genetic and demographic goals, and are not sustainable. Consequently, their contribution to biodiversity conservation is being undermined. This thesis aims to evaluate the sustainability of captive populations using the scimitarhorned oryx as a case study. The European scimitar-horned oryx population experiences many of the challenges encountered by other captive populations, specifically, poor data quality in the international studbook resulting in less effective population management; rapid loss of genetic variation; and economic fragmentation. This thesis presents a series of original studies that evaluate the sustainability of captive populations, examines the impact of poor quality data on population management, and tests the effects of population fragmentation. The results contribute knowledge to the management of small captive populations in general, and to the scimitar-horned oryx in particular. I propose solutions to some of the challenges faced by endangered species in captivity, and advocate a reorientation of the existing small population management paradigm. Finally, I challenge the international zoological community to fulfil its potential for biodiversity conservation, and sustainably manage the populations in its care.

Abstract:
Tableau d'honneur de la FÉSP
En se nourrissant de l’hémolymphe et des corps gras de l’abeille domestique (Apis mellifera L.) et en lui transmettant de nombreux virus, l’acarien parasite Varroa destructor (Acari : varroidae) constitue la principale cause de mortalité des colonies d’abeilles. Les traitements chimiques présentement utilisés pour lutter contre le varroa comportent plusieurs désavantages, tels que le développement de résistance de l’acarien aux acaricides de synthèse et une toxicité variable pour l’abeille. Via l’utilisation d’ennemis naturels du parasite, la lutte biologique pourrait représenter une avenue durable et sécuritaire pour la santé des colonies. L’objectif principal de cette étude était de tester l’efficacité de l’acarien prédateur Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Acari : Lealapidae) comme moyen de lutte biologique contre le varroa. Une étude du comportement alimentaire du prédateur a d’abord été réalisée afin d’évaluer le risque de prédation du couvain d’abeille (oeufs, larves et pupes) par S. scimitus, ainsi que son potentiel de prédation envers les varroas phorétiques (se trouvant sur le corps des abeilles adultes). Des essais in vivo ont ensuite permis d’évaluer l’efficacité de deux doses d’introduction du prédateur (6 250 ou 12 500 acariens/colonie) à contrôler les populations de varroa dans les colonies d’abeilles en septembre (en comparaison avec l’acaricide biologique Thymovar®) et en novembre (en comparaison avec l’acide oxalique). Bien que S. scimitus soit capable de s’alimenter sur tous les stades de développement de l’abeille en laboratoire, nos résultats suggèrent que le prédateur ne représente pas une menace pour le couvain lorsqu’il est introduit dans la colonie. Par contre, nos résultats démontrent que le prédateur n’est pas en mesure de contrôler les populations de varroas dans les colonies d’abeilles sous les conditions testées, c’est-à-dire lorsqu’il est introduit à l’automne selon la dose actuellement recommandée par certains distributeurs. Cette inefficacité est probablement liée à l’incapacité du prédateur à s’attaquer aux varroas phorétiques.
By feeding on the hemolymph and fat bodies of the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) and transmitting many viruses, the parasitic mite Varroa destructor (Acari: varroidae) is considered as the main cause of honey bee colony losses. The use of chemicals in varroa control shows many disadvantages, such as the development of mite resistance to synthetic acaricides and a variable toxicity for bees. Through the use of natural enemies, the biological control of varroa mites could represent a sustainable and safe avenue for colony health. The main objective of this study was to test the effectiveness of the predatory mite Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Acari: Lealapidae) as a means of biological control against varroa mites. A study of the predator’s feeding behaviour was first performed to evaluate the risk of predation of bee brood (eggs, larvae and pupae) by S. scimitus, as well as its predation potential upon phoretic varroa mites (varroa parasitizing adult bees). In vivo trials were then carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of two predator introduction rates (6,250 or 12,500 mites / colony) to control varroa populations in honey bee colonies in September (compared to the organic acaricide Thymovar®) and in November (compared to oxalic acid). Although S. scimitus is able to feed on all bee developmental stages in the laboratory, our results suggest that the predator does not pose a threat to the bee brood when introduced into the colony. On the other hand, our results demonstrate that the predator is not able to control varroa populations in bee colonies under the tested conditions, that is, when it is introduced in fall according to the rate currently recommended by some biocontrol suppliers. This ineffectiveness is probably related to the inability of the predator to attack phoretic varroa mites.

With the development of industrial precision instrument technology, the applications of servo system are more and more widespread. This study focuses on the analysis and simulation of sinusoidal optical encoder, and uses the theory of radiation and optical simulation software to analyze the output of sinusoidal optical encoder. This article proposed a method to modify the error of the optical encoder and designed a scimitar-jagged mask according to the radiation theory. The experiments results are compared with the results of optical simulation software and the results of radiation theory by using RMSE (root mean square error) error to analysis the error. Comparing the results of radiation theory with the results of ASAP simulation, the RMSE based on parallel light source is 0.000558 which is similar to the RMSE based on Lambertian light source 0.049066. The theory of radiation in this study is proved effective and the optical model is accurate.

Abstract:
Scimitar Glacier originates below the northeast face of Mt. Waddington in the southern British Columbia Coast Mountains and flows 18 km down valley to calve into a proglacial lake. The purpose of this research was to describe the late Holocene glacier history of Scimitar Glacier using stratigraphic analysis in conjunction with dendroglaciologic and radiocarbon dating techniques. Downwasting of the glacier surface has exposed stacked till units separated by wood-bearing horizons in the proximal slopes of lateral moraines flanking the glacier at several locations. Historical moraine collapse and erosional breaching has also revealed the remains of standing trees buried in sediments from a lake originally ponded against the distal moraine slope. Radiocarbon dating of detrital wood remains revealed that Scimitar Glacier expanded down-valley at least three times in the late Holocene. The earliest period of expansion occurred 3167-2737 cal yr BP in association with the regional Tiedemann Advance. Following this the glacier receded and downwasted prior to advancing to reconstruct the lateral moraine in 1568-1412 cal yr BP during the First Millennial Advance. The most recent phase of moraine construction was initiated during late Little Ice Age glacial expansion before 1742 AD and extended until at least 1851 AD, after which Scimitar Glacier began to recede and downwaste. Field investigations at Scimitar Glacier allowed for the construction of a late Holocene history of glacier expansion and lateral moraine construction that spans the last 3000 years. This record is comparable to that recorded at other glaciers in this region, and confirms the long-term relationship between regional climate trends and glacier behaviour in this setting.

Song type matching and song overlapping have been considered as aggressive signals in male songbirds. However, no studies have focused on the relationship between these two types of signals. To determine whether exposure to combine signaling increases aggression in songbirds, first, we evaluated the functions of song type matching and song overlapping in the Black-necklaced Scimitar Babblers (Pomatorhinus erythrocnemis). Second, we combined song type matching and song overlapping to examine is the combination a more aggressive signal. Lastly, we added overlapping in contest after type matching has already used for a while to examine that is song overlapping a second graded signal to escalate aggressive intention in the Black-necklaced Scimitar Babblers. The Black-necklaced Scimitar-Babblers, which exhibits strong reaction to intruders and possessed medium sized repertoire, was chosen as our subject. In the treatments interactive playback was used for recording their singing and behavioral responses. Field experiment was conducted during the breeding seasons of 2010 and 2011 at Wulai, New Taipei City, Taiwan. Interactive songs for playback were collected in Hsinchu, Yunlin and Chiayi. The results show that the male Black-necklaced Scimitar Babblers exhibited greater variation of song interval (P=0.011) and spent more time in a 10-meter circle from the speaker (P=0.039) when song-type matching treatments were conducted. Males did not exhibit responses that were different from control treatments compare to song overlapping treatments. However, when song overlapping and song type matching happened simultaneously, males exhibited shorter songs (P=0.030); when song overlapping was added in after song type matching had continued for a while, males responded stronger that they exhibited more number of songs (P=0.0005) and spent more time in a 10-meter circle from the speaker during playback (P=0.033) and post-playback period (P=0.033). We conclude that in song contests of the male Black-necklaced Scimitar Babblers, song-type matching may serve as an aggressive signal. Overlapping may serve as an aggressive signal if happens with song type matching simultaneously or with song type matching continues for a while. We conclude that song overlapping is a second graded signal to escalate aggressive intention in the Black-necklaced Scimitar Babblers if necessary.

Song is an important medium of communication infer Passeriformes species. For the males, it is usually explained by dual functional theories. The first purpose is to attract female, and the other is repelling male. Repelling male means male-male competition and scientists usually use sharing hypothesis to interpret it. Sharing hypothesis asserts male birds could benefit for each other though sharing songs with neighbors. In many territorial birds, song sharing among neighbors has been demonstrated. Spot-breasted Scimitar Babblers (Pomatorhinus erythrocnemis) is a common resident bird in Taiwan. It is a suitable species to inspect sharing hypothesis, not only because of their obvious territorial behavior but also based on the habit that they used to communicate with neighbors through their specific songs. I recorded 12 male babblers from Huben Village, Linnei Township, Yunlin County, Taiwan (ROC) during the period March to October 2008. The result of research shows there are totally 22 different song types from 12 Huben babblers’ singing. The song types ranged from 1166-1852 KHz in frequency and 0.406±0.103 sec in duration. Discriminant functional analysis correctly assigned 82.4% of all recordings, furthermore, in average, each babbler has 7.17 song types (range 4-10). The sonograms of the same song types in different recording date shows the long constancy within individuals and from different males shows the similarities among individuals. The research outcome indicated that there were at least 2 shared songs between 12 male babblers and the average sharing coefficient was 0.385. Moreover, the finding significance presents the distance of territory is inversely proportional to the similarity of songs (Pearson correlation r=-0.257, N=66, p<0.05). Finally, according to the statistics which have been illustrated above, the research evidenced the prediction of sharing hypothesis, but the impacts on the aspect of function and ecology still require a profounder research and investigation.
