Two new genera and five new species of spider flies (Diptera: Acroceridae) are described from the Neotropical Region. A new genus of Philopotinae (Neophilopota brevirostris Schlinger gen. et sp. n.) is described from Mexico, while an unusual new species of Sphaerops Philippi, 1865 (Acrocerinae: Sphaerops micella Schlinger sp. n.) is described from Chile. A new Panopinae genus near Lasia Wiedema...

A broad strategy is employed to detect and remove component level faults from various hardw...

Two new species of the genus Vosmaeropsis are described: V. recruta sp. nov. and V. complanatispinifera sp. nov., both from the Brazilian coast. These species possess arrow-shaped large diactines in their skeletons, which are being described for the first time in Vosmaeropsis. In addition, the latter species presents another remarkable character: the apical actines of its atrial tetractines is ...

We show existence of minimizers for the Hardy-Sobolev-Maz’ya inequality in Rm+n \ Rn when either m > 2, n ≥ 1 or m = 1, n ≥ 3. The authors expresses their gratitude to the faculties of mathematics department at Technion Haifa Institute of Technology and of the University of Cyprus for their hospitality.

In this paper, we establish and analyze a traffic flow model which describes the formation and dynamics of traffic jams. It consists of a Pressureless Gas Dynamics system under a maximal constraint on the density and is derived through a singular limit of the Aw-Rascle model. From this analysis, we deduce the particular dynamical behaviour of clusters (or traffic jams), defined as intervals whe...

This paper demonstrates how a probabilistic criterion based on the full capacity outage probability distribution (e.g., LOLP) could be integrated into the unit commitment (UC) optimization using simple statistical approximation. While this provides a direct and computationally cheaper means as compared to a recently published approach to locating the globally optimal SR allocation (and associat...

INTRODUCTION Leprosy has been a major public health problem in India for centuries. In India, between 2001 and 2005, the prevalence of leprosy was reduced by 80%. This sharp decline in the prevalence of leprosy alongside the cessation of active surveillance for detection of leprosy cases has raised a sense of alarm in the scientific community. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a total population ...

Market surveys in industrial companies have pointed out translators' demand for integrated specialist dictionaries in translation memory tools which they could use in addition to their own compiled dictionaries or stored parts of text. For this purpose the German specialist dictionary publisher, Langenscheidt Fachverlag in Munich proposes a global solution together with experts from the Univers...

This paper1 discusses the use of recursive chunking of large German corpora (over 300 million words) for the identification and partial classification of significant lexical cooccurrences of adjectives and verbs. The goal is to provide a fine-grained syntactic classification of the data at the levels of subcategorization and scrambling. We analyze the combinatory preferences of adjectives with ...
