Pterygodermatites ( Paucipectines ) hymanae n. sp. (Rictulariidae) collected from the Incan shrew opossum, Lestoros inca , from Peru is described herein. These nematodes show a subapical, slightly dorsal oral opening and a laterally compressed buccal capsule with 2 conspicuous lateral walls and a dorsal wall. Each lateroventral wall possesses 4 relatively large denticles, and the dorsal wall ha...

In order to study the bearing characteristic of geosynthetic-encased stone column (GESC) on composite foundation, a series field tests and numerical simulation were carried out foundations reinforced by traditional GESC. The pile–soil stress ratio, excess pore water pressure lateral displacement two kinds monitored. effects geotextile stiffness, wrapping length gravel internal friction angle fo...

Clobber is a new two-player board game. In this paper, we introduce the 1-player variant Solitaire Clobber where the goal is to remove as many stones as possible from the board by alternating white and black moves. We show that a checkerboard configuration on a single row (or single column) can be reduced to about n/4 stones. For boards with at least two rows and columns, we show that a checker...

In recent years, ground columns, such as vibro-concrete columns and geosynthetic-reinforced stone columns, have been increasingly used to support superstructures and embankments when they are constructed on soft foundations. Several new column technologies have emerged, including different shapes of concrete columns and composite columns. The column technologies have also been combined with oth...

A low-to-medium cohesionless soil with low fines content was predominantly observed at the surfaces of Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA). The condition exposed subsoil YIA to Liquefaction in addition its location on a high seismic zone which has increased likelihood massive ground shaking. This means it is necessary improve and vibro-replacement using stone column selected as appropriate m...

introduction & objective: after urinary tract infection and prostatic disorders , the urine stones are the third common genitourinary diseases. demographic, environmental and genetic factors affect urine stone formation. the aim of our study is to survey epidemiologic factors in patients with urinary stones referring to educational hospitals of hamadan during 2010-2013.      materials & methods...

Clobber is a new two-player board game. In this paper, we introduce the oneplayer variant Solitaire Clobber where the goal is to remove as many stones as possible from the board by alternating white and black moves. We show that a checkerboard configuration on a single row (or single column) can be reduced to about n/4 stones. For boards with at least two rows and two columns, we show that a ch...

The leptophlebiid mayfly genus Ulmeritoides is composed of nine species, three of which have been recorded in Brazil: U. patagianus, U. uruguayensis, and U. misionensis. In the present paper, a new species of this genus, Ulmeritoides oepa sp.nov., is described and illustrated based on fifteen larvae collected in Uraricoera River, state of Roraima, northern Brazil. The species was compared to U....
