In intercropping systems, shading is one of the main limiting factors for development plants in understory, especially C4 plants. However, successful pasture production silvopastoral systems can be achieved through proper spatial arrangement. This study provides fundamental information that validates macauba-grass consortium. For 20 months, during two dry seasons and rainy seasons, microclimati...

Grounded in Butler’s Queer Theory, focusing on performances, this paper examined gay protagonists in the five (5) Philippine representative queer-themed English proses, which titled as follow: “The Doll” by Emigdio Alvarez-Enriquez; “The Chamber of the Sea” by Edith Tiempo; “High Fashion” by Gilda CorderoFernando; “Geyluv” by Honorio de Dios; and “The Husband” by Jaime An Lim. Specifically, the...

We show that the Cappell–Shaneson version of Pick’s theorem for simple lattice polytopes is a consequence of a general relation between characteristic numbers of virtual submanifolds dual to the characteristic classes of a stably almost complex manifold. This relation is analogous to the miraculous cancellation formula of Alvarez-Gaume and Witten, and is imposed by the action of the Landweber–N...

The distribution of Sphaerospora dicentrarchi Sitjà-Bobadilla et Alvarez-Pellitero, 1992 and S. testicularis Sitjà-Bobadilla et Alvarez-Pellitero, 1990, myxozoan parasites of European seabass Dicentrarchus labrax (L.), was investigated in different farming systems in Italy. In total, 1406 fish were examined. High S. dicentrarchi prevalence was observed in all the farming systems involved in thi...

We generalize the “miraculous cancellation” formulas of Alvarez-Gaumé, Witten and Kefeng Liu to a twisted version where an extra complex line bundle is involved. We also apply our result to discuss intrinsic relations between the higher dimensional Rokhlin type congruence formulas of Ochanine [O1], Finashin [F] and Zhang [Z1, 2]. In particular, an analytic proof of the Finashin congruence formu...

Mantis shrimps (Crustacea: Stomatopoda) are rather rare in the fossil record. Nineteen species have been assigned to Squillidae, of which 12 species have been recorded from the Miocene. We describe herein a squillid, Squilla taulinanus n. sp., from the Miocene of Taulignan, south-eastern France. The exceptionally well-preserved specimen is remarkable in apparently having abdominal somites 5–6 c...
