A preliminary study of boreal owl, Aegolius funereus richardsoni (Bonaparte), and northern sawwhet owl, Aegolius acadicus acadicus (Gmelin), nests from Nova Scotia, Canada revealed the presence of 14 species of Coleoptera, several of which represent significant extensions of their known ranges. Atheta (Datomicra) celata (Erichson) is newly recorded for North America; Atheta irrita Casey is newl...

The US Department of Defense (DoD) is currently launching itself into the Global Information Grid (GIG) environment. Although we may not know the full shape of the GIG or even it’s implication for Modeling and Simulation (M&S) at this point, there are some significant aspects of the GIG upon which we can build to become capable participants in this new world. The Defense Information Systems Age...

The development of methods and apparatus for magnetic measurements capable of an accuracy of i per cent makes it necessary to consider factors which have heretofore been considered negligible. One of these factors, the temperature coefficient of magnetic permeability, is the subject of the present paper. Many workers have studied the effects of temperature on the magnetic permeability of iron a...

A partial order P = (X; < P) is a semi-order if it is an interval order admitting an interval representation such that all the intervals are of unit length. The semi-order dimension of P is the smallest k for which there exist k semi-order extensions of P which realize P. In HKM] the question whether semi-order dimension is a comparability invariant was posed. We prove that for k = 2 this is th...

Accelerated degradation tests (ADTs) can provide timely relia bility information of product. Hence ADTs have been widely used to assess the lifetime distribution highly reliable products. In order properly predict distribution, modeling product’s path plays a key role in analysis. this paper, we use stochastic diffusion process describe and recursive formula for be obtained by using first passa...

The present annotated checklist contains 43 species of thoracican barnacles known to date from the area, 33 and 26 from the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, respectively. Nine species are new records for the area including Amphibalunus subalbidus (Henry, 1973), Armatobalanus allium (Darwin, 1854), Chelonibia patula (Ranzani, 1818), Conchoderma hunteri (Owen, 1830), Lepas anserifera Linnaeus, ...

A critical and annotated catalogue of 52 types of Chrysididae belonging to 32 species deposited in the Zoological Museum of Moscow Lomonosov State University is given. The lectotypes of Chrysis sabulosa Radoszkowski, 1877 and Ellampus (Philoctetes) fedtschenkoi Semenov, 1932 are designated. New synonyms are proposed for (valid name first): Omalus imbecillus (Mocsáry, 1889) = Ellampus kozhevniko...

Penyelidikan kandungan kimia dari batang tumbuhan Lerchea brateata Val telah dilakukan dan berhasil mendapatkan senyawa asam 3,4-dihidroksisinamatmetil ester yang diisolasi dari fraksi etil asetat menggunakan metoda kromatografi. Senyawa ini dimurnikan melalui proses rekristalisasi dan berbentuk kristal kekuningan dan meleleh pada 162-163 o C. Struktur dielusidasi melalui interprestasi spektrum...
