Recently, the present author has read a paper “Comments on author citations for nomenclatural novelties published in volume 15 of the Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (FRPS)” published by Peng & Zhang (2016: 236), in which these authors corrected some authorships of nomenclatural novelties (only names of new taxa) published in volume 15 contrary to the authorships as recognized by Zhu (2015: 292–294). In the present contribution I would like to review the material again in lights of the arguments presented by Zhu (2015) and Peng & Zhang (2016).

AbstractThe small waterstriders of the subfamily Trepobatinae have radiated extensively on New Guinea and surrounding archipelagos. The present contribution is the first in a series of reports dealing with this endemic fauna, and presents a revised tribal level classification for the Trepobatinae, with the following new tribes proposed: Metrobatini, type genus Metrobates Uhler; Naboandelini, type genus Naboandelus Distant; Stenobatini, type genus Stenobates Esaki; Trepobatini, type genus Trepobates Uhler. A key to the tribes is provided, followed by a taxonomic treatment of the new tribe Metrobatini and its constituent genera. The following new taxa are proposed within Metrobatini: Andersenella gen. n., monobasic, type species Andersenella binotata sp. n.; Metrobatoides gen. n., monobasic, type species Metrobatoides genitalis sp. n.; Ciliometra gen. n., including type species Ciliometra kiunga sp. n., plus Ciliometra femorata sp. n. and Ciliometra sepik sp. n.; Iobates gen. n., including type species Metrobatopsis affinis Esaki (as Iobates affinis, comb. n.), plus Iobates salaw ati sp. n. and Iobates somare sp. n.; Stygiobates gen. n., including type species Stygiobates iriana sp. n., plus Stygiobates morotai sp. n.; Metrobatopsis insularis sp. n., Metrobatopsis mussau sp. n., Metrobatopsis lannae sp. n. and Metrobatopsis browni sp. n. in the previously described genus Metrobatopsis Esaki. The genus Metrobatopsis and previously included species Metrobatopsis flavonotatus Esaki and Metrobatopsis solomonensis Hungerford & Matsuda are redescribed. Habitat and distributional notes are given for all the above taxa, accompanied by figures of key characters and distribution maps.

The genus Agave Linné (1753: 323; Asparagaceae-Agavoideae) has played an important role for the indigenous civilizations of North America (“man-Agave symbiosis”) and is of considerable economical and horticultural importance (Gentry 1982). Many new Agave species were introduced between about 1860 and 1890 particularly from Mexico. Frequently, new taxa have a complicated nomenclatural history with often multiple introductions or descriptions by different, partly competing authors and in publications often difficult to access (e.g., Govaerts & Thiede 2013). This has led to a considerable number of incorrect author citations and/or places of publication in taxonomic treatments as well as databases such as IPNI (2013). In the framework of a second, updated edition of a taxonomic synopsis of Agave (Thiede, in prep.), at least some uncertain and controversial nomenclatural issues will need to be addressed, starting here with A. dealbata.

AbstractPrevious research by the present author has established the Caledonian tectonic history of the Manx Slate Series. In particular three episodes of folding (F1, F2, F3) were recognized. The present contribution describes the sequence of metamorphic textures impressed on these metasediments during this polyphase deformation.Two distinct episodes of metamorphism have affected the Manx Slate Series. A syn-tectonic F1 metamorphism produced a chloritezone alteration throughout the Island. A later F2 metamorphism was primarily responsible for the growth of small porphyroblasts of several minerals within the pre-existing F1 fabric. This second metamorphism is confined to the hinge of the large-scale F2 Manx synform and its effects are visible in an elongate belt following the middle of the Island. The emplacement of the porphyroblasts began during the F2 movement and continued into the static interval which preceded the third (F3) movement-phase. It was completed prior to the F3 deformation.

Spectrum Imaging

As interest for parallel EELS spectrum imaging grows in laboratories equipped with commercial spectrometers, different approaches were used in recent years by a few research groups in the development of the technique of spectrum imaging as reported in the literature. Either by controlling, with a personal computer both the microsope and the spectrometer or using more powerful workstations interfaced to conventional multichannel analysers with commercially available programs to control the microscope and the spectrometer, spectrum images can now be obtained. Work on the limits of the technique, in terms of the quantitative performance was reported, however, by the present author where a systematic study of artifacts detection limits, statistical errors as a function of desired spatial resolution and range of chemical elements to be studied in a map was carried out The aim of the present paper is to show an application of quantitative parallel EELS spectrum imaging where statistical analysis is performed at each pixel and interpretation is carried out using criteria established from the statistical analysis and variations in composition are analyzed with the help of information retreived from t/γ maps so that artifacts are avoided.

Au Thin Films

It has long been known that defects such as stacking faults and voids can be quenched from various alloyed metals heated to near their melting point. Today it is common practice to irradiate samples with various ionic species of rare gases which also form voids containing solidified phases of the same atomic species, e.g. ref. 3. Equivalently, electron irradiation has been used to produce damage events, e.g. ref. 4. Generally all of the above mentioned studies have relied on diffraction contrast to observe the defects produced down to a dimension of perhaps 10 to 20Å. Also all these studies have used ions or electrons which exceeded the damage threshold for knockon events. In the case of higher resolution studies the present author has identified vacancy and interstitial type chain defects in ion irradiated Si and was able to identify both di-interstitial and di-vacancy chains running through the foil.

It is currently well established that, for an Al-Ag alloy quenched from the α phase and aged within the metastable solvus, the aging sequence is: supersaturated α → GP zones → γ’ → γ (Ag2Al). While GP zones and plate-shaped γ’ are metastable phases, continuously distributed in the matrix, formation of the equilibrium phase γ takes place at grain boundaries by discontinuous precipitation (DP). The crystal structure of both γ’ and γ is hep with the following orientation relationship with respect to the fee α matrix: {0001}γ′,γ // {111}α, <1120>γ′,γ, // <110>α.The mechanisms and kinetics of continuous matrix precipitation (CMP) in dilute Al-Ag alloys have been studied in considerable detail. The quantitative description of DP kinetics, however, has received less attention. The present contribution reports the microstructural evolution resulting from aging an Al-Ag alloy with Ag content higher than those previously reported in the literature, focusing the observations of γ' plate-shaped metastable precipitates.

Roberto Massimo Lawley (1818–1881) was a non-academic naturalist who made a major contribution to the Tuscan scientific community of his time. He was involved in the foundation of two societies (Società Italiana di Malacologia, 1874–1899; Società Toscana di Scienze Naturali, 1874–today) and a publishing house (Biblioteca Malacologica Italiana). He first devoted himself to malacology, but Neogene fossil fishes became his main interest. Over the years, he gathered a huge private collection of fossils and produced 18 scientific papers, dealing mainly with fossil sharks. Subsequent revisers criticized his approach to fossil taxa: their observations were generally sound, but they failed to fully recognize Lawley's scientific merits. His scientific papers, new taxa established by him and eponymys are given in the Appendix.

SummarySupport verb constructions are documented throughout the history of Latin. These syntagms are characterized by the presence of a support verb with a more or less reduced semantic force, and a predicative (abstract or verbal) noun that often constitutes its direct object. The present contribution deals, specifically, with the use of facio as a support verb (as in bellum facere, iter facere, insidias facere etc.), focussing on the post-classical and late period. Two main questions shall be discussed: (a) whether, and if so, how facio becomes more productive in later centuries in both non-Christian and Christian sources; (b) what type of semantic evolution the verb undergoes in later Latin and whether, in this respect, continuity or rupture should be assumed with regard to the earlier period. This last point will enable us to suggest a more convincing explanation of an often-quoted passage of Cicero (Phil. 3. 22), in which the expression contumeliam facere is found.

Bed Capacity

According to the Semmelweis Plan for Saving Health Care, ”the capacity of the national network of intensive care units in Hungary is one but not the only bottleneck of emergency care at present”. Author shows on the basis of data reported to the health insurance that not on a single calendar day more than 75% of beds in intensive care units were occupied. There were about 15 to 20 thousand sick days which could be considered unnecessary because patients occupying these beds were discharged to their homes directly from the intensive care unit. The data indicate that on the whole bed capacity is not low, only in some institutions insufficient. Thus, in order to improve emergency care in Hungary, the rearrangement of existing beds, rather than an increase of bed capacity is needed. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 946–950.
