The species of the genus Tylodinus from the Mexican state of Chiapas are revised. We examined 989 specimens representing 36 species; 23 species are grouped into eight species groups with 13 species considered as Incertae sedis. A total of 32 species are described as new and one species is a new record for México. Species groups  (numbers of species in parentheses) and species are: Tylodinus buc...

Abstract The objective of the experiment was the opinion of respondent about effects of Grazing on Tabar plant on animal health and milk characteristic in Gezira State, Sudan. This the questionnaire was conducted in two localities of Gezira state where Tabar plant was cultivated. This included, South Gezira locality and Greater Wad Madani Locality. The questionnaire was distributed randomly to...

A new and the first mammal fossil locality from the Zagros Basin of Iran is reported here. The fossil locality, known as Dimeh, is located in the Lorestan province, west of Iran. The fauna includes abundant bovid cranial remains, mostly representing boselaphines and palaeoryxoids, as well as gazelles and spiral horned antelopes. Hipparionine horses similar to Hippotherium group are also represe...

Based on a study of 1,100 specimens of the genus Agra (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Lebiini: Agrina) from Costa Rica, twenty-nine new species were discovered and are here validated and described: A. catie, n. sp. (type locality: Limon, Tortuguero National Park, Estacion Cuatro Esquinas, sea level, LN 280000,590500); A. catbellae, n. sp. (type locality: Cartago, Turrialba, 600m, 09°53'N 083°38'W); A. ...

This paper studies the theory of caching and temporal and spatial locality. We show the following results: (1) hashing can be used to guarantee that caches with limited associativity behave as well as fully associative cache; (2) temporal locality cannot be characterized using one, or few parameters; (3) temporal locality and spatial locality cannot be studied separately; and (4) unlike tempora...

Researchers have developed many di erent methods for evaluating locality, however there exists no standard method of evaluation that incorporates all aspects of temporal and spatial locality. In this paper we introduce an advanced form of a locality surface that incorporates all aspects of temporal and spatial locality into one three-dimensional surface. Examining a locality surface for a parti...

The performance of cache memories relies on the locality exhibited by programs. Traditionally this locality has been divided into temporal and spatial, and conventional caches exploit both types of locality. For the sake of simplicity, cache memories manage all memory references in the same way regardless of their locality. This homogeneous treatment has an important drawback: references either...
