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...

Blue and red light are essential signals used to regulate stomatal development leaf structure. In the present study, traits that respond blue were studied at two intensities (400 100 µmol m−2 s−1) in soybeans. The characteristics determined. Furthermore, their contribution operational maximum conductance (gopmax) was evaluated using rdacca.hp R package. With intensity significantly reduced, siz...

To evaluate the cultivar variation in photosynthetic rate (Pn) of mango, observations were taken in 25 cultivars representing different agro-climatic region of the country at two stages i.e. full bloom (March) and developed fruit stage (May). Seven cultivars, Papatio, Lucknow Safeda, Neelam, Mulgoa, Khas-ul-khas, Himsagar and Nisar Pasand showed the higher Pn rate at both the stages, while nine...

Supercooled liquid water (SLW) and mixed phase clouds containing SLW ice over the Southern Ocean (SO) are poorly represented in global climate numerical weather prediction models. Observed exists at lower temperatures than threshold values used to characterize its detrainment from convection model parameterizations, processes controlling formation removal understood. High-resolution observation...

Leaf lateral asymmetry in width and thickness has been reported previously in rice. However, the differences between the wide and narrow sides of leaf blade in other leaf morphological and physiological traits were not known. This study was conducted to quantify leaf lateral asymmetry in leaf width, leaf thickness, specific leaf weight (SLW), leaf nitrogen (N) concentration based on dry weight ...

In this paper, we give the correlation and difference between M-convex fuzzy process and SLW-convex fuzzy process, and present some basic properties of these convex fuzzy processes, which improve some known results about the connection between those convex fuzzy processes and their graphs. In addition, we introduce a new notion of s-convex fuzzy process as a generalization of M-convex fuzzy pro...

Abstract. Knowledge of past ice sheet configurations is useful for informing projections future dynamics and calibrating models. The topology grounding line retreat in the Ross Sea sector Antarctica has been much debated, but it generally assumed that modern as small more than 100 000 years (Conway et al., 1999; Lee 2017; Lowry 2019; McKay 2016; Scherer 1998). Recent findings suggest West Antar...
