The twenty-nine species-group names of Sarcophagidae proposed by Chien-ming Chao and Xue-zhong Zhang are reviewed. Of these names, twenty-four are available, while five are unavailable nomina nuda. Of the twenty-four available names, nine are considered valid, fifteen as invalid: thirteen junior synonyms, one unnecessary replacement name and one junior primary homonym. Holotypes of all species,...

Cyclohexylamine oxidase (CHAO) is a flavoprotein first described in Brevibacterium oxydans strain IH-35A that carries out the initial step of the degradation of the industrial chemical cyclohexylamine to cyclohexanone. We have cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli the CHAO-encoding gene (chaA) from B. oxydans, purified CHAO and determined the structures of both the holoenzyme form of the enz...

Surface modeling is a fundamental issue in 3D images, shape synthesis and recognition. Recently, a surface model called the fibre bundle model is proposed (Chao et al., 2000; Chao & Kim, 2004; Chao et al., 2004; Chao & Li, 2005; Suzuki & Chao, 2002). The fibre bundle model becomes powerful in its full generality however still needs much information, the information of these two curves at all po...

Abstract Larger patches generally are inhabited by higher species richness, including birds, as predicted the island biogeography theory. The objective of this research was to reveal response bird richness in different patch sizes peri-urban habitat. study site area five (2 large near human activities, remote with a small lake, patch, corridor patch) disturbed secondary shrub-forest Riau Univer...
