description: The paper has a twofold objective. The first one is to introduce the renewable energy platform that is in the
process of formulation. Driven by the EU-Africa Joint Strategy and responding to the needs of African population to
increase access to sustainable energy, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission is building a renewable
energy platform to increase the scientific and technical analytical capacity of the African community on support of
sustainable energy planning. The second objective is to show the initial results of the analysis carried out in the
framework of the platform on the selected rural electrification options that shows the basic conditions to apply renewable
energy sources in the sustainable energy development in Africa.

description: The process of trichlorosilane synthesis in fluidized bed reactor (FBR), via hydrochlorination of
metallurgical-grade silicon, is usually accompanied with the side-reaction to produce tetrachloride. Many efforts
have been devoted to increase the selectivity of desired product (SiHCl3) and reduce the formation of tetrachloride
(SiCl4). The two primary reactions involved are both highly exothermic and temperature-sensitive, and the
composition of products depends largely on the temperature. However, the temperature distribution during the
reaction is often neglected, as FBR is generally considered as temperature homogeneous due to the intense solids
mixing and good heat transfer between gas and solids. Actually, for highly exothermic reactions, such as the reaction
between metallurgical silicon and hydrogen chloride, the temperature gradient will occur, especially in large-scale
reactor. In this case, to further optimize the operation condition and maximize the yield of SiHCl3, the analysis of
temperature distribution throughout the reactor is necessary and meaningful for trichlorosilane synthesis. In this
study, a two-dimensional temperature model is proposed for synthesizing trichlorosilane in the process of solar-grade
polycrystalline silicon production. Based on the mechanisms of non-catalytic gas-solid reactions, the kinetic
expression is given to investigate the overall reaction rate of silicon to producing SiHCl3 and SiCl4. Meanwhile, by
combing the heat transferred between packed coolant tube and reactants with the heat released by chemical reaction,
the temperature profile is deduced in radial and vertical directions. The simulation result shows the efficiency of the
model.

description: Recent N-body simulations predict that large numbers of stellar black holes (BHs) could remain bound to globular clusters (GCs) at present, and merging BH--BH binaries are produced dynamically in significant numbers. We systematically vary "standard" assumptions made by numerical simulations related to, e.g., BH formation, stellar winds, binary properties of high-mass stars, and IMF within existing uncertainties, and study the effects on the evolution of the structural properties of GCs, and the BHs in GCs. We find that variations in initial assumptions can set otherwise identical initial clusters on completely different evolutionary paths, significantly affecting their present observable properties, or even affecting the cluster's very survival to the present. However, these changes usually do not affect the numbers or properties of local BH--BH mergers. The only exception is that variations in the assumed winds and IMF can change the masses and numbers of local BH--BH mergers, respectively. All other variations (e.g., in initial binary properties and binary fraction) leave the masses and numbers of locally merging BH--BH binaries largely unchanged. This is in contrast to binary population synthesis models for the field, where results are very sensitive to many uncertain parameters in the initial binary properties and binary stellar-evolution physics. We find that weak winds are required for producing GW150914-like mergers from GCs at low redshifts. LVT151012 can be produced in GCs modeled both with strong and weak winds. GW151226 is lower-mass than typical mergers from GCs modeled with weak winds, but is similar to mergers from GCs modeled with strong winds.

description: The objective of IEA PVPS Task8 is to examine and evaluate the potential of Very Large Scale
Photovoltaic Power Generation (VLS-PV) Systems on desert areas, which have a capacity ranging from multi-
Megawatt to Gigawatt, and to develop practical project proposals for implementing the VLS-PV systems in desert
regions. The Task8 was established in 1999, and has started the phase-4 activity (2009-2011). To implement real
VLS-PV projects, the main challenge is to make excellent project proposals and to convince local governments,
energy companies and financing institutions to be positively involved in the projects. Task8 will develop VLS-PV
proposals which would be useful for stakeholders and propose our recommendations for the future.

description: By applying a parabolic-hyperbolic formulation of the constraints and superposing Kerr-Schild black holes, a simple method is introduced to initialize time evolution of binary systems. As the input parameters are essentially the same as those used in the post-Newtonian (PN) setup the proposed method interrelates various physical expressions applied in PN and in fully relativistic formulations. The global ADM charges are also determined by the input parameters, and no use of boundary conditions in the strong field regime is made.

description: We present a thermomechanical model of a laminated string for the optimization of interconnects for modules with back contact silicon solar cells. First we calculate the thermal stresses in a laminate of 9 noninterconnected cells that result from the cooling process from lamination temperature of 150°C down to −40°C. In a second step we add the interconnectors in a 2-dimensional geometry which is bidirectionally coupled to the original 3-dimensional geometry of the laminated cell string. Both simulations show the resulting stresses on the solar cells and all other module components. The first analysis shows the same stress distribution for every cell in the string. In the second simulation we find the cell stresses near the 3 soldered areas to depend significantly on the specific interconnector design. The model presented here consists of the equations from continuum mechanics and is solved by Finite Element Analysis. In this modeling approach we describe the mechanical material behavior by linear elasticity. The 2-dimensional plain-stress modeling of the interconnector allows fast and easy modifications of the interconnector’s design and helps to estimate the mechanical performance of the interconnector as a part of the 3 dimensional string. In a last step the electrical performance of the interconnector is simulated.

description: Design and properties of the front transparent conductive oxide (TCO) are decisive for high efficiency of
amorphous Si and tandem amorphous/microcrystalline Si (Micromorph) solar cells. In our previous work we described a
new, 3 dimensional design of thin film silicon solar cells based on ZnO nanocolumns or nano- or micro-holes etched into
ZnO layer (”Swiss cheese” design). Very thin amorphous and microcrystalline layers are then folded over ZnO
nanocolumns or into the holes in ZnO. Here we have demonstrated results of hydrothermal growth of ordered ZnO
nanocolumns over the area of 0.5 cm2. Electron beam lithography was used to define hexagonally ordered arrays of
nanocolumns. For the “Swiss cheese” design of Micromorph solar cell, already successfully realized in our past work, we
performed rigorous optical modeling with the help of FDTD (Finite Difference in the Time Domain) method to show the
large increase of short circuit current with increased depth of the micro-holes in ZnO layer.
Path integral Monte Carlo determination of the fourth-order virial coefficient for unitary two-component Fermi gas with zero-range interactions

description: The unitary equal-mass Fermi gas with zero-range interactions constitutes a paradigmatic model system that is relevant to atomic, condensed matter, nuclear, particle, and astro physics. This work determines the fourth-order virial coefficient $b_4$ of such a strongly-interacting Fermi gas using a customized \textit{ab initio} path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) algorithm. In contrast to earlier theoretical results, which disagreed on the sign and magnitude of $b_4$, our $b_4$ agrees within error bars with the experimentally determined value, thereby resolving an ongoing literature debate. Utilizing a trap regulator, our PIMC approach determines the fourth-order virial coefficient by directly sampling the partition function. An on-the-fly anti-symmetrization avoids the Thomas collapse and, combined with the use of the exact two-body zero-range propagator, establishes an efficient general means to treat small Fermi systems with zero-range interactions.

description: Silicone materials are well known to be one of the most suitable materials for optical and opto-electronic applications, such as LED encapsulants and lenses. Silicones have also been noted as an ideal material for the encapsulation of PV cells. This is primarily due to their high transparency in the UV-Visible wavelengths, wide range of refractive indices, excellent tolerance to high optical flux and excellent thermal and environmental stability. Silicones can be formulated to a refractive index between 1.38 and 1.58 depending upon the chemical constituents attached to the silicon atom. Due to their low modulus and low glass transition temperature (-50 °C) they are very stress relieving in a wide temperature range. Also, when formulated with appropriate adhesion, they provide the required moisture protection needed for multiple applications. They have very good electrical properties and are well known as dielectric insulators. In many applications, their fire resistant properties are also important. These properties make them ideal candidates as encapsulants for photovoltaic modules. Internal evaluations at Dow Corning and with select external partners have shown that very efficient solar cells using silicones as the encapsulant can be assembled and show very good reliability. This paper will focus on the key properties of silicones both initial and after aging. Also discussed will be performance measurements on PV cells encapsulated with Dow Corning silicones. Long-term durability in outdoor applications has been demonstrated.

On coupled envelope evolution equations in the Hamiltonian theory of nonlinear surface gravity waves

description: This paper presents a novel theoretical framework in the Hamiltonian theory of nonlinear surface gravity waves. The envelope of surface elevation and the velocity potential on the free water surface are introduced in the framework, which are shown to be a new pair of canonical variables. Using the two envelopes as the main unknowns, coupled envelope evolution equations (CEEEs) are derived based on a perturbation expansion. Similar to the High Order Spectral method, the CEEEs can be derived up to arbitrary order in wave steepness. In contrast, they have a temporal scale as slow as the rate of change of a wave spectrum and allow for the wave fields prescribed on a computational (spatial) domain with a much larger size and with spacing longer than the characteristic wavelength at no expense of accuracy and numerical efficiency. The energy balance equation is derived based on the CEEEs. The nonlinear terms in the CEEEs are in a form of the separation of wave harmonics, due to which an individual term is shown to have clear physical meanings in terms of whether or not it is able to force free waves which obey the dispersion relation. Both the nonlinear terms that can only lead to the forcing of bound waves and these which are capable of forcing free waves are demonstrated, with the latter through the analysis of the quartet and quintet resonant interactions of linear waves. The relations between the CEEEs and two other existing theoretical frameworks are established, including the theory for a train of Stokes waves up to second order in wave steepness [Fenton, J. waterway, Port, Coast. & Ocean Eng., 111, 2, 1985] and a semi-analytical framework for three-dimensional weakly nonlinear surface waves with arbitrary bandwidth and large directional spreading by Li & Li [Phys. Fluids, 33, 7, 2021].

description: Quantum walks (QWs) describe particles evolving coherently on a lattice. The internal degree of freedom corresponds to a Hilbert space, called coin system. We consider QWs on Cayley graphs of some group $G$. In the literature, investigations concerning infinite $G$ have been focused on graphs corresponding to $G=\mathbb{Z}^d$ with coin system of dimension 2, whereas for one-dimensional coin (so called scalar QWs) only the case of finite $G$ has been studied. Here we prove that the evolution of a scalar QW with $G$ infinite Abelian is trivial, providing a thorough classification of this kind of walks. Then we consider the infinite dihedral group $D_\infty$, that is the unique non-Abelian group $G$ containing a subgroup $H\cong\mathbb{Z}$ with two cosets. We characterize the class of QWs on the Cayley graphs of $D_\infty$ and, via a coarse-graining technique, we show that it coincides with the class of spinorial walks on $\mathbb{Z}$ which satisfies parity symmetry. This class of QWs includes the Weyl and the Dirac QWs. Remarkably, there exist also spinorial walks that are not coarse-graining of a scalar QW, such as the Hadamard walk.

description: The power supply plays a key role in ensuring basic services for the population: health and education
promotion, developing communication tools and development of productive activities, among others. Energy supply
must be one of the areas for priority action in the fight against poverty. Currently, 1.6 million people, about a quarter
of the world population have no access to any source of electricity, leading to a situation of isolation and economic
deprivation. Four-fifths of this population lives in rural areas and is dedicated solely to subsistence farming. The
EURO-SOLAR Programme is a pioneering initiative of the Cooperation Office of the European Commission
(EuropeAid). The programme's primary objective is to promote renewable energy as an engine of human
development in the eight poorest and least developed countries in Latin America: Bolivia, Ecuador, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru. The Programme involves the installation of 600 systems for
electricity production and storage, based entirely on renewable sources. Lessons learned are presented for all those
aspects of work that can enhance future initiatives in the fields of policies and programmes and their impact, R&D
strategies and programmes, international cooperation, and PV for developing nations.
title: The role of the cytoskeleton in autophagy and Crohn's disease
Creators: name: Biskou, Olga
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2020

description: Intermediate filaments, along with microtubules, microfilaments and septins, comprise the cytoskeleton that provides cells with structure and shape. The cytoskeleton is known to participate in the organelle localization and signal transduction.
Autophagy is an intracellular degradation mechanism that allows cells to recycle damaged proteins and organelles. When cells are exposed to stress, autophagy is activated to promote cell survival. Autophagy is highly regulated, and it is reported that the cytoskeleton participates in autophagosome formation and transport. Vimentin filaments are reported to act as autophagy inhibitors, and also as a scaffold for autophagy activation during infection. However, little is known about other roles in autophagy. Autophagy is reported to be involved in autoimmune disease like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
Crohn’s disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC), are the major forms of IBD. IBDs are multifactorial, and the contributing factors include environmental triggers, microbial dysbiosis and genetic predisposition. For CD, the genes with the strongest association include the Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRR) Nucleotide Binding Oligomerization Domain (NOD)2 and Autophagy Related Protein (ATG)16L1, that participate in autophagy induction during infection.
It was hypothesized that vimentin filaments participate in autophagy steps. Two objectives were investigated, i) the role of vimentin in NOD2 induced autophagy during infection, ii) the role of vimentin in autophagy.
The methodology used included live/fixed cell imaging, Western blot and flow cytometry.
The live cell imaging approached used for the first objective, did not provide further understanding of the underlying mechanism. For the second objective, it was shown that pharmacological vimentin inhibition through Withaferin A (WFA), results in increased autophagy as monitored through Western blot, flow cytometry and, immunostaining. Further investigation of the mechanism showed that vimentin inhibition results in re-distribution of autophagosomes and lysosomes and this results in preventing the formation of autolysosomes, as shown by the traffic light experiment, that is used to monitor the maturation of autophagosomes into autolysosomes. The main autophagy marker,Microtubule-associated protein 1-light chain 3 (LC3), is conjugated to Red Fluorescent Protein (RFP) and Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) both expressed on the surface of autophagosome, that appear yellow. Once the autophagosome fuses with the lysosomes LC3 and GFP is degraded and autolysosomes appear red. These findings indicate that vimentin acts as a scaffold for the fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes.

description: We study the non-equilibrium dynamics obtained by an abrupt change (a {\em quench}) in the parameters of an integrable classical field theory, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We first consider explicit one-soliton examples, which we fully describe by solving the direct part of the inverse scattering problem. We then develop some aspects of the general theory using elements of the inverse scattering method. For this purpose, we introduce the {\em quench map} which acts on the space of scattering data and represents the change of parameter with fixed field configuration (initial condition). We describe some of its analytic properties by implementing a higher level version of the inverse scattering method, and we discuss the applications of Darboux-Bäcklund transformations, Gelfand-Levitan-Marchenko equations and the Rosales series solution to a related, dual quench problem. Finally, we comment on the interplay between quantum and classical tools around the theme of quenches and on the usefulness of the quantization of our classical approach to the quantum quench problem.

title: Cyclic performance of rubber-soil mixtures to enhance seismic protection
Creators: name: Bernal Sanchez, Juan
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2020

description: The disposal of scrap tyres has become a major environmental problem around the world. For its recovery, a geomaterial has been used as part of civil constructions, commonly known as Rubber-Soil mixture (RSm). The use of RSm has the potential to be used as geotechnical seismic isolation system and hence provide protection against earthquakes. However, the static and dynamic behaviour of RSm is not well understood.
Various bulk (macro), particle (micro) properties, and the test conditions affect its characterisation. Whilst addressing this knowledge gap, the aim of this study was to understand the response of RSm under cyclic loading and evaluate its effectiveness in attenuating accelerations when used to retroﬁt a soil foundation.
An experimental programme was chosen for this research and is divided into three scales; particle, element and 1g model scales. Plain strain visualisations, oedometer, and x-ray tomographic tests were performed to elucidate RSm particulate behaviour.
To understand RSm dynamic behaviour, the evolution in stiffness and damping of the mixture was analysed from small-to-large deformations whilst altering rubber content and number of cycles. A sweep analysis was also performed via 1g shaking table tests to evaluate the cyclic performance of a scaled foundation-modiﬁed soil with RSm.
The ﬁndings in this thesis revealed that the macro behaviour of RSm is highly inﬂuenced by the particle properties, including rubber mass, size, shape, stiffness and its interaction with sand particles. Tests showed a greater change in void ratio of mixtures containing shredded rubber compared to crumb rubber. 3D x-ray tomographic images revealed an increase in contact and a decrease in rubber volume of RSm under loading.
This demonstrated that the high RSm compressibility is the result of both particle re-arrangement and rubber distortion. At an element scale, liquefaction resistance increased and mixtures did not liquefy by adding 20% rubber. The addition of rubber led to a reduction in soil stiffness whilst it increased the mixture resilience against cyclic loading, ameliorating the cyclic effect on stiffness and damping degradation. Material damping increased with rubber content at small-to-medium strains, whereas an upper value was revealed by adding 10% rubber at larger deformations. Test results supported the basis that energy dissipation in RSm is generated through particle sliding and rubber deformation, which takes over the dissipation mode after several cycles. Altering a host soil system by adding vertical discrete zones with RSm showed a lower ampliﬁcation ratio and as a result mitigated part of the incident vibrations. The increase in damping capacity at a model scale was postulated to be the result of combining geometrical and material damping. The vertical disposition of the soft zone herein proposed could allow its application to both existing and new infrastructure.

description: The acidic texturisation process is an important and widely used step in the fabrication of
mulitcrystalline silicon solar cells. The resulting silicon surface structure mainly depends on the concentrations
of the hydrofluoric acid (HF), nitric acid (HNO3) and hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6). Therefore, a continuous
dosing of concentrated acids is necessary to remain a constant etching rate and a constant surface structure. In
state of the art process tools, this dosing is triggered by a certain number of processed wafers. Small inaccuracies
in the silicon entry or the dosed volume lead to significant drifts of the acid concentrations. We present an
automated dosing algorithm using NIR-spectroscopy for the concentration measurement, which is able to keep
the bath composition in an optimal process window. A theoretical approach suggests, that the used algorithm is
able to keep the etching rate constant in a range of ±2 μm/min. First experiments using this algorithm in an inline
process tool show, that the mechanism finds the optimal concentrations from a starting point, where both, HFand
HNO3-concentrations are too low.

description: Ptilotis chrysops barroni Mathews Ptilotis chrysops barroni Mathews, 1912a: 406 (North Queensland, Cairns). Now Lichenostomus chrysops barroni (Mathews, 1912). See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 232–233, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 597–598. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694630, unsexed, collected on the Barron River, Queensland, Australia, on 5 August 1910, by the Dodds. From the Mathews Collection (no. 8985) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘North Queensland.’’ The following specimens, all collected by the Dodds, are paratypes: Herberton, AMNH 694615 (Mathews no. 9536), female, 22 January 1911; Barron River, male, AMNH 694624 (no. not found), 31 August 1910; unsexed, AMNH 694626 (8986), 1 September 1910; AMNH 694627 (8042), 6 August 1910; AMNH 694628 (9325), 9 July 1910; AMNH 694629 (8041), 4 July 1910. Although Mathews listed the type locality as Cairns, these specimens probably came from the Barron River in the vicinity of Kuranda, 16.46S, 145.37E (Times Atlas), where the Dodds lived, and where there is higher altitude habitat for this species. Salomonsen (1967: 379) considered both barroni and beaconsfieldi synonyms of Meliphaga c. chrysops; Higgins et al. (2008: 597) considered barroni poorly differentiated.

Silicon Feedstock, Crystallisation and Wafering

description: 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, 6-10 September 2010, Valencia, Spain; 1499-1502
description: One important aim of the photovoltaic industry is the continuous decrease of manufacturing costs of solar
cells. For this reason, the use of upgraded metallurgical silicon (UMG-Si) instead of highly purified silicon or electronic
grade silicon (EG-Si) is widely discussed. However, the direct application of this material for solar cells is difficult
because of its higher amounts of dopants and metal impurities of up to several orders of magnitude in comparison to EGSi.
Therefore, additional purification steps are necessary. In our approach we investigate the efficiency of segregation
during crystallization of silicon feedstock with various purities from 99.99999% to 99.8%. Results of standard analysis
methods like Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Inductively Coupled Plasma with Optical Emission Spectroscopy
(ICP-OES) and Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) confirm the successful increase of the purity of the
crystallized silicon up to a factor of 1000. Finally, solar cells produced from 99.999% pure silicon achieve an average
efficiency near 15%.
title: The role of online social networks in the wellbeing of highly skilled migrants: a case-study of an online forum for Russian-speaking migrants in the UK

description: This study aims to investigate the role of online social networks in highly skilled migrants’ wellbeing. The research focused on Russian-speaking migrants in the UK. It was designed around a case study of a Russian-speaking online forum for migrants in the UK. The literature on migration, wellbeing, integration, social networks and social media were researched to establish a conceptual framework and position the study within a larger field of research. A mixed-methods approach was used, employing literature review and primary research to collect and analyse data from an online forum scrape and an online survey. The forum was scraped for a period of 12 months and analysed using social networks and statistical analysis in R. An online survey was administered via social media and analysed using statistical analysis in SPSS. Ethical issues regarding online social media data research have been considered and addressed.

The findings suggest that there is no direct link between online networks and migrants’ life satisfaction. However, there is evidence that online networks play a role in wellbeing through links with integration and social support. Online networks contribute to integration through providing information support to improve migrants’ knowledge of host communities; and emotional/affirmation support to affirm their socio-cultural identities. The findings revealed that migrants with links to the host country reported higher levels of wellbeing, whereas migrants with stronger links to the home country reported lower levels of wellbeing. These results indicate that migrants’ wellbeing and integration is strongly linked to developing bridging social capital in the host country. Online social networks can be instrumental in this. The study will contribute to knowledge on migration, online networks, social support and the ethics of online research. It will inform academics, practitioners and the wider public on the role of migrants’ social networks in their wellbeing.

description: The purpose of this article is to adapt the Frolicher-type inequality to the case of transversely holomorphic and transversely symplectic foliations. These inequalities can be used to e.g. determine whether a given foliation can be made transversely Kahler (due to their relations to various dd'-lemmas). Our main results can be also stated for orbifolds as we point out in section 5 of this paper.

description: The use of autonomous systems for the electrification of isolated rural communities is widely extended
throughout the world, mainly in developing regions. The generation technology varies, from diesel gensets to
different renewable options (wind, hydro, solar, etc). This work analyses and discusses some relevant topics
concerning the operation of two types of collective off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems: only-PV and hybrid PVdiesel.
The use of an intermittent renewable resource with a diesel group acting as a support increases the reliability
of supply, compared with only-renewable systems, with less fuel consumption than only-diesel ones. Compiled field
data comes from twelve villages located at the province of Jujuy, northwest Argentina. Around 500 users (mainly
families, but also schools, churches, community premises, etc) benefit from this autonomous electrification. Five of
the villages are supplied by collective PV arrays and battery banks, while the other seven add a 17kVA diesel
generator as a back-up system. All of them include an AC distribution minigrid with individual energy counters in
each house. An operational evaluation of the systems during the period 2001-2008 is presented.

description: About 70% of people in the developing world live in rural areas. Without bringing development to these
people, economic development will not be reflected at the national level. It has been observed that development in the
developing countries has been staged due to the non-availability of quality electric power for productive applications in
rural areas. People use kerosene lamps as lighting sources, but kerosene is an import item in most of the developing
world and kerosene lamps have several disadvantages such as low light output, emission of toxic gases and fire hazard.
To replace kerosene lamps steps have been adopted to implement solar powered home lighting systems (SHL) with
compact fluorescent lamps. However, such systems are too costly for use by the rural poor and are not flexible in use.
Solar powered white Light Emitting Diode (LED) lanterns show potential to replace SHL. White LED lanterns are
cheap, flexible in use and incorporation of a mobile phone charging system in the LED lantern enriches its use.
Detailed studies have been conducted on the use of such LED systems and comparisons have been made with kerosene
lamps and solar powered SHL with comparable light output. Field studies were conducted at a remote rural Indian
village. The results indicate clear superiority of solar powered white LED lanterns over conventional SHL.

description: Ptilotis chrysops samueli Mathews Ptilotis chrysops samueli Mathews, 1912d: 99 (Ranges fifty miles north of Adelaide, South Australia). Now Lichenostomus chrysops samueli (Mathews, 1912). See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 232–233, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 597–598. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694637, adult male, collected 50 miles northeast of Adelaide, 34.56S, 138.36E (Times Atlas), low ranges, South Australia, Australia, on 3 April 1912, by S.A. White (no. 675). From the Mathews Collection (no. 13094) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of samueli as ‘‘ South Australia.’’ The type bears White’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Its locality must be close to the Barossa Range (Kaiser Stuhl-Pewsey Vale highlands) section of the central Mount Lofty Range (R. Schodde, personal commun.). Other South Australian specimens in Mathews’ hand at that time are paratypes. Paratypes in AMNH: AMNH 694633 (Mathews no. 13098), male, 22 March; AMNH 694634 (13097), female, 20 March; AMNH 694635 (13095), female, 24 March; AMNH 694636 (13096) female, 22 March, all collected at Myponga in 1912.
