Criconemella anastomoides, described and illustrated herein, is characterized by the presence of regular anastomosis on the body, two zig zag lateral lines, stylet knobs sloping posteriorly, short stylet, and short body length.

Estimating quantities is an important everyday task. We analyzed the performance of various estimation strategies in ninety-nine real-world environments drawn from various domains. In an extensive simulation study, we compared two classes of strategies: one included machine learning algorithms such as general regression neural networks and classification and regression trees, the other two psyc...

Chiral discrimination of vapours plays an important role in olfactory perception of biological systems and its realization by artificial sensors has been an intriguing challenge. Here, we report a simple method that tangibly visualizes the chirality of a diverse variety of molecules dissolved from vapours with high sensitivity, by making use of a structural change in a periodic microstructure o...

We evaluate all the primitive divergences contributing to the 7–loop β–function of φ4 theory, i.e. all 59 diagrams that are free of subdivergences and hence give scheme– independent contributions. Guided by the association of diagrams with knots, we obtain analytical results for 56 diagrams. The remaining three diagrams, associated with the knots 10124, 10139, and 10152, are evaluated numerical...

The main contribution of this work is a new type of graph product, which we call the zig-zag product. Taking a product of a large graph with a small graph, the resulting graph inherits (roughly) its size from the large one, its degree from the small one, and its expansion properties from both! Iteration yields simple explicit constructions of constant-degree expanders of arbitrary size, startin...

This project presents reactive power compensation in a distribution power system. DSTATCOM (distribution static compensator) is a reactive power compensator for power quality improvement in a three phase four wire distribution system. A voltage source converter (VSC) based DSTATCOM with a zig-zag transformer is used for the compensation of reactive power for voltage regulation along with load b...
