AbstractGolovinomyces longipes is a widespread powdery mildew on Solanaceae (Nicotiana, Petunia and Solanum spp.). In the past, it has been reported only once on Verbena (Verbenaceae), a non-solanaceaous host. Recently, this powdery mildew has been found on the composite Matricaria chamomilla. The identification of the powdery mildew species on this unusual host has been proved by morphological studies and DNA sequence analysis. Both datasets coincide with the characteristic data for G. longipes on Solanaceae. First inoculation experiments with further composites resulted in an infection of Brachyscome hybrid ‘Surdaisy’. To our knowledge, this is the first report of G. lonigpes on hosts belonging to the important family of Asteraceae and an additional proof of the broader host range of G. longipes beyond the Solanaceae.

The family of Chironomidae is a group of Diptera insects belonging to the suborder of Nematocera, commonly called “non-biting midges” in the adult stage and “bloodworms” in the larval stage. The Chironomidae are often the most abundant group of macroinvertebrates, in number of species and individuals, encountered in all aquatic environments of freshwater, brackish, terrestrial and even the sea. Likewise, Chironomidae occur in all the continents. The Chironomidae family is divided into 11 sub-families that have diffrent ecological statues. Despite the wealth of data on Chironomidae in the Holarctic region, other parts of the world are poorly studied and few guides to identifying Chironomidae have been produced. This chapter includes a theoretical synthesis on the Chironomidae, it deals with the Biology (life cycle and description of different stages), description of all subfamilies and the ecology of this important family of Diptera.

AbstractWe determine the order of the automorphism group Aut(W) for each member W of an important family of finite p-groups that may be constructed as iterated regular wreath products of cyclic groups. We use a method based on representation theory.

AbstractWe use analytic tools to study a simple family of piecewise isometries of the plane parameterized by an angle. In previous work, we showed the existence of large numbers of periodic points, each surrounded by a ‘periodic island’. We also proved conservativity of the systems as infinite measure-preserving transformations. In experiments it is observed that the periodic islands fill up a large part of the phase space and it has been asked whether the periodic islands form a set of full measure. In this paper we study the periodic islands around an important family of periodic orbits and demonstrate that for all angle parameters that are irrational multiples of π, the islands have asymptotic density in the plane of 3log 2−π2/8≈0.846.

The treatment regimen for children with cystic fibrosis (CF) is vast and is usually undertaken in the family home. Managing CF coincides with other important family routines such as children’s participation in education. There is a dearth of research that considers family routines that may influence, and be influenced by how CF is managed. To address this gap, this patient-led study examined how families manage CF alongside children’s education in England. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 participants comprising 5 children and young people with CF, 4 parents, 2 CF nurse specialists and 3 teachers. The results revealed that CF routines were organized to minimize disruption to education, although families experienced challenges in meeting all daily health and education demands. Families chose between children doing their treatments or participating in school activities when doing both were not feasible. Treatments were sometimes a barrier to education participation and children’s learning. Families found treatment routines restrictive upon children’s friendships. Education is a priority for families, which affects how they manage CF. CF clinical teams should consider bidirectional influences between important family routines and families’ management of CF, when planning appropriate treatment regimens.

Enantiomerically enriched diaryl, aryl heteroaryl, and dihetero­aryl alcohols are an important family of compounds known for their biological properties. Moreover, these molecules are highly privileged scaffolds used as building blocks for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant products. This short review provides background on the enantioselective arylation and heteroarylation of carbonyl compounds, as well as, the most significant improvements in this field with special emphasis on the application of organometallic reagents.1 Introduction2 Background on the Enantioselective Synthesis of Diaryl, Aryl Heteroaryl, and Diheteroaryl Alcohols3 Organozinc Reagents4 Organolithium Reagents5 Grignard Reagents6 Organoaluminum Reagents7 Organotitanium Reagents8 Organobismuth Reagents9 Miscellaneous10 Conclusion
