The semantics of number marking: reference to kinds, counting, and optional classifiers
Creators: name: Sağ-Parvardeh, Yağmur

Year: 2019

description: This dissertation examines the semantics of number marking in Turkish and the phenomena revolving around it, primarily in comparison to English. I argue that the Turkish number marking system patterns with the English number marking system, as well as offering novel insights into the variations between the two. Specifically, I claim that morphologically unmarked nouns (Turkish kitap; English book) are semantically marked as singular, whereas morphologically marked plural nouns (Turkish kitap+lar; English book+s) exhibit semantic unmarkedness, having a number neutral denotation (following Krifka 2003, Sauerland et al. 2005, Spector 2007, and Zweig 2009 for English, cf. Bliss 2004, Bale et al. 2010, and Gorgulu 2012 for Turkish). The investigation includes the semantics of kind reference, in the sense of Chierchia (1998) and Dayal (2004), the effects of which are revealed more significantly in Turkish than in English, extending to phenomena that pertain to naming kinds (cf. Carlson 1977 and Krifka et. al 1995). The analysis also expands to the semantics pseudo-incorporation, which I argue involves singular kind reference in Turkish. This account applies to so-called weak definites of English differing minimally from a very similar account of Hindi pseudo-incorporation (Dayal 2011, 2015 and Aguilar-Guevara and Zwarts 2010). This dissertation also addresses what these findings imply with regards to the semantics of counting. Turkish counting expressions differ from English in the form of the nominal complement of numerals (Turkish iki kitap; English two book+s) and having an optionally realized numeral classifier (iki (tane) kitap). I start by showing that these variations do not signal variation in the nominal semantics of the two languages. Then, I examine the optional numeral classifier tane, the analysis of which illuminates the semantics of counting in general. With the aim to bring new insights to this little-understood element of counting expressions, the findings are compared to two more optional classifier languages, Western Armenian and Persian. The exploration of these languages provides striking confirmation of my claims regarding not only the semantics of counting but also the semantics of number marking and kind reference.

description: This study was aimed to analyze the sensitivity of the backcalculation of layer moduli and the joint load transfer efficiency of airfield rigid pavement. The analyses were designed comprising two main methods. In the first part, the AREA method and the Graphical NUS-BACK solution were primary backcalculation methods. The input condition taken into the backcalculation was a field data of Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) round-up project in the National Airport Pavement Test Facility (NAPT) in Atlantic City, NJ. Initially, the sensitivities of the deflection-based load transfer efficiency (LTE) were evaluated. Subsequently, the backcalculated layer moduli were compared with the lab test data. Those layer moduli were then applied as the input parameters for the overlay design using Federal Aviation Administration Rigid and Flexible Iterative Elastic Layered Design (FAARFIELD) to analyze their influences on the designed overlay thickness. In the second part, Finite Element Analysis Federal Aviation Administration (FEAFAA) was selected as a tool to investigate the stress-based joint load transfer efficiency under various input scenarios including variations in the temperature gradients of slab, landing gear configurations, traffic directions, and slab thicknesses.The analyzed data from HWD test illustrated several findings. Firstly, the deflection-based LTE was found sensitive to several factors including the assessed position, the amount of load level, test direction, and the adjacent support of the evaluated slab. Secondly, the backcalculated elastic modulus obtained by the AREA method was closely matched to the lab test data whereas the NUS-BACK seemed to be overestimated. The backcalculated modulus of subgrade reaction from both methods was significantly greater than lab test data because they were assumed as a two-layered system in which the property of lower layer represented both the base and the subgrade layers. Thirdly, the overlay thickness calculated by different methods was clearly dissimilar to each other. Moreover, the FEAFAA results demonstrated certain results. Firstly, the critical stress location for the slab loaded at the corner was more sensitive to different scenarios than those at the edge. Secondly, the combination of temperature gradient and the thickness of the slab predominantly influenced the critical tensile stress and the stress-based LTE of the slab. Thirdly, the value of ratio between the critical stress of 9-slab and the 1-slab pavement system (S9/S1) varied differently to different scenarios. Therefore, the assumption in FAARFIELD that the 25 percent reduction on edge stress accounting for the load transfer may not be suitable under some circumstance.

description: Background: The school lunch environment is a prime target for increasing a child’s consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. Schools are using smarter lunchroom strategies to facilitate healthy choices. However, there is an increasing concern about food waste, especially at school food services. Plate waste at school lunch is used to assess menu performance and meals acceptance using a variety of methodologies. The gold standard for measuring plate waste is the weighing method which is time consuming and costly. This has led researchers to search for alternatives.Objective: The study aims to test the feasibility and validate the accuracy of a digital image recognition model as a tool to quantify aggregate vegetable waste and compare it against the gold standard “weighing method” in a middle school.Design: The study was divided in two phases. In phase I, images and weights of the salad plate pre and post consumption were recorded. The model was trained using these data to test the feasibility of model for predicting food classes and estimating physical weights of food. In Phase II, digital images and weights of the salad plates pre and post consumption were recorded and run through the trained model. Aggregate vegetable waste was calculated as the difference between the recorded weights, and the predicted weights assessed through the model. Results: In Phase I, the image recognition model achieved overall classification accuracy of 85.7% of predicting nine food classes. The mean rank for recorded pre weight was (1.61 g + 0.43 g) and predicted pre weight was (1.01 g + 0.99 g) The feasibility results suggested that there was a significant difference between the recorded and predicted weights (p=0.009). In Phase II, the mean rank for recorded pre weight was (1.63 g + 0.45 g) and predicted weight was (1.73 g + 0.22 g) and did not elicit a statistically significant difference as compared to manually recorded weight (p = 0.341). The mean rank for recorded post weight was (0.62 g + 0.77 g) and weight predicted by the image recognition model was (0.63 g+ 0.80 g) with no statistically significant difference between the two (p=0.619). The mean rank for recorded plate waste was (0.68 % + 0.83%) and plate waste determined by the predicted weights by the image recognition model was (0.72 % + 0.91%). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed no statistically significant difference (p=0.177) in plate waste calculated using two methods.Conclusion: The main findings from this study were that the image recognition model was feasible and accurate for identifying food classes and quantifying vegetable plate waste in a self-serve salad bar in a middle school and did not differ significantly from the gold standard weighing method. This study supports the use of a digital image recognition model as a valid tool to semi automate data collection and estimate food waste.

Labeling eigenstates of qubit-cavity systems based on the continuity of qubit occupancy: Detecting resonances to higher excited qubit states

description: We propose a new method for labeling the eigenstates of qubit-cavity systems based on the continuity of the qubit occupancy. The labeled eigenstates give a rough estimate of the evolution of a quantum state under cavity driving. The photon-number dependence of the resonant cavity frequency can be estimated from the labeled eigenenergies, and resonances to higher excited qubit states are visible in the dependence. Our proposed method can be applied to a broader parameter region compared to an existing method. With the proposed method, we investigate the offset-charge dependence of the resonances to higher excited states that can induce leakage effects from the computational basis. The results imply that the leakage can occur with only around ten photons.

Forewing length (all forms): male 25 – 31 mm [mean (n = 26) 28.27 mm, SD = 1.396]; female 29 – 35.5 mm [mean (n = 18) 31.83 mm, SD = 1.450]. van Someren (1974, p. 444 – 446) gave male forewing length as 28 – 30 mm in male and 30 – 32 mm in form ‘ zoolina ’, and 25 – 28 mm in male and 30 – 35 mm in female form ‘ neanthes ’.
Note: this species can be regarded as an example of class 2 polymorphism, in which both sexes occur in multiple but essentially identical colour forms – except insofar as males have only one well-developed pair of hindwing tails, whereas females always have two (Vane-Wright 1975). Intermediate colour forms also occur, with individual variation (including very darkly marked males originally named as subspecies obscuratus Suffert,
1904); it seems likely this is more a case of seasonal polyphenism rather than genetic polymorphism.
Records
Kielland (1990, p. 112) indicates that this butterfly can be found in most parts of Tanzania, at altitudes up to c. 2100 m, usually in thorn-bush but also entering montane forests where its primary habitat is adjacent. Cordeiro (1990, p. 35) noted it as common in Lake Manyara National Park. Recorded [as the synonym Charaxes neanthes (Hewitson)] by Butler (1901, p. 24) from Taveta. OUMNH has six males and three females from Taveta, c. 2500 ft, collected by Rogers in 1905/06 – all are f. ‘ zoolina ’, not f. ‘ neanthes ’. The BMNH collection includes a male from West Kilimanjaro, 4500 – 5000 ft, May – July 1938, and a female from Moshi, 2500 ft, January – February 1938, both collected by B. Cooper, and both f. ‘ neanthes ’. Not encountered in the forest by Liseki (2009), so included here as a member of the lower slopes.
Charaxes zoolina occurs widely is eastern Africa, from Somalia to South Africa. Three additional subspecies have previously been recognized – of which one occurs in Madagascar, and another in Angola. The third, C. z. mafugensis Jackson, 1956, is found in montane forests in Rwanda and southwest Uganda (Henning 1989, p. 376; Ackery et al. 1995, p. 463), and Rumanyika Orogundu Game Reserve in the bordering Karagwe District of western Tanzania (Kielland 1992, p. 51). However, molecular evidence now suggests all four could be regarded as specifically distinct (Vingerhoedt et al. 2009).

Nanotechnology approach for precision targeted therapy of ovarian cancer

description: One of the most pressing health concerns in recent history is cancer. The World Health Organization reports that more than 10 million cases of cancer are diagnosed each year [1]. In the United States, it is the second leading cause of death and is responsible for approximately one in four deaths in the general population [2]. Currently, only about 25% of patients treated with a certain treatment will show a response in the clinic [3]. Therefore, it is necessary to design methods for improvement patient outcomes once being diagnosed with the disease. Precision medicine is a newly found trend in the field of pharmacology to treat patients with more specified treatment regiments for increased efficacy. Patients are further categorized into subtypes based on histology of the disease and new methods are being investigated to further stratify patients based on molecular biology and on the genetic level of the disease in individual patients.The purpose of the current proposal is to help design precision treatment of ovarian cancer patients. First, we obtained patient biopsy samples from the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and constructed gene expression profiles to help identify key dysregularities in patients and design an efficient way to screen further patients for these biomarkers. Once gene expression profiles were obtained, we targeted certain overexpressed genes through RNA interference (RNAi) therapy to downregulate their expression in the cancer cells. RNAi therapy was combined with traditional small molecule chemotherapeutics to improve their efficacy compared to being used alone to treat the patients. We categorized and optimized liposomal and dendrimer drug delivery systems (DDSs) to help delivery our proposed combinational therapies. Several small molecule chemotherapeutics were formulated separately with RNAi therapy and evaluated against monotherapies of the corresponding drug. We successfully demonstrated these DDSs efficiently delivered our combinational therapies to tumors, reduced off-site accumulation of the therapeutics, and raised the efficacy of the treatment compared to monotherapies of the corresponding drug.

Note: The name of this butterfly is sometimes incorrectly attributed to Poulton, 1926 – who originally introduced the name aubyni as a female (infrasubspecific) form of C. etheocles (Cramer, 1777). Charaxes aubyni was first made available as a species group name by van Someren and Jackson (1952, p. 272), when they recognized it as a distinct, separate species (this may be of significance in assessing the primary type material). The discal bands of the females vary from pale cream to ochreous; as noted by Henning (1989, p. 351), an extreme of the latter type was named ‘ female f. ochrefascia ’ by van Someren and Jackson, and it is arguable that the females should be considered dimorphic.
Records
Known in Tanzania from Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Kwaraha, and the Lossoganeu, Pare, Usambara, Uluguru, North Nguu, Nguru, Ukaguru and Rubeho mountains (Kielland 1990, p. 96), to which Henning (1989, p. 351) adds Monduli. The BMNH includes specimens from Lindi, Amani, and one male from West Kilimanjaro, collected at 4000 – 5000 ft by Cooper. Not encountered by Liseki (2009). According to Kielland (loc. cit.), it occurs in submontane and montane forests at 400 – 2400 m. Cordeiro (1990, p. 34) records it from Lake Manyara National Park. Beyond Tanzania the nominate subspecies also occurs in Kenya: the Taita Hills (including the type locality, Mt Dabida, and the Sagala Hills) and Mbololo (Henning 1989, p. 351). The two other recognized subspecies of C. aubyni occur elsewhere in Kenya, and in southern Tanzania and Malawi (Ackery et al. 1995, p. 434).

description: The study of the entire population of SNRs in a galaxy helps us to understand the underlying stellar populations, the environments, in which the SNRs are evolving, and the stellar feedback on the ISM. The all-sky survey carried out by the extended Roentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array (eROSITA) on board Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (Spektr-RG, SRG) has provided us with spatially and spectrally resolved X-ray data of the entire Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and its immediate surroundings in the soft X-ray band down to 0.2 keV. We performed a multiwavelength analysis of previously known SNR candidates and newly detected SNRs and SNR candidates. We applied the Gaussian gradient magnitude (GGM) filter to the eROSITA images of the LMC to highlight the edges of the shocked gas in order to find new SNRs. We compared the X-ray images with those of their optical and radio counterparts to investigate the true nature of the extended emission. We used the Magellanic Cloud Emission Line Survey (MCELS) for the optical data. For the radio comparison, we used data from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) survey of the LMC. Using the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds (VMC) we have investigated the possible progenitors of the new SNRs and SNR candidates in our sample. We present the most updated catalogue of SNRs in the LMC. The eROSITA data have allowed us to confirm 1 of the previous SNR candidates and discover 16 new extended sources. We confirm 3 of them as new SNRs, while we propose the remaining 13 as new X-ray SNR candidates. We also present the first analysis of the follow-up XMM-Newton observation of MCSNR J0456-6533 discovered with eROSITA. Among the new candidates, we propose J0614-7251 (4eRASSU J061438.1-725112) as the first X-ray SNR candidate in the outskirts of the LMC.

Computational studies of peptide self-assembly

description: Research into novel biological materials for use in biomedical applications is guided by the formation of supramolecular structures which have properties resultant from the characteristics of the compositional molecules. Peptides are commonly utilized in biological material development as their properties are widely variable and highly controllable due to the sequence-specific properties of amino acids. Self-assembling peptides are of specific interest due to their spontaneous aggregation into organized morphologies with predictable characteristics based upon their constituent amino acids. Though novel peptide materials have traditionally been researched through physical experimentation, the development of Molecular Dynamics has allowed for comparable computational studies of peptide systems. In this work, coarse-grained Molecular Dynamics simulations are selected to study self-assembling peptides from two classes, aromatic and aliphatic, as these peptides have been experimentally validated to spontaneously assemble themselves into nanostructures. Computational models representative of the peptides’ chemistry are created for aromatic peptides FF (phenylalanine-phenylalanine) and FNF (phenylalanine-asparagine-phenylalanine) and aliphatic peptides A6K (alanine-alanine-alanine-alanine-alanine-alanine-lysine), V6K (valine-valine-valine-valine-valine-valine-lysine), and V6K2 (valine-valine-valine-valine-valine-valine-lysine-lysine). In the aromatic studies, the effect of varying total peptide concentrations and relative tripeptide concentrations on the morphology of the assembled structures is characterized. In the aliphatic studies, the peptide alignment in stable aggregates and nanostructures is determined. The results demonstrate the viability of these peptide systems to form stable, usable nanostructures suitable for inclusion in biological applications that require the respective specific properties of the in-scope peptides.

description: The US Industrial manufacturers face numerous challenges such as increasing complexity of production processes, fluctuating customer demands and expansion of supply chains. Output is expected to increase only 3.5% in 2019, according to the International Monetary Fund. The global expansion has weakened, foreign trade is at historically low levels, and nationalist governments around the world are threatening to further undermine the free flow of goods, creating more uncertainty and constraints upon manufacturing growth. In such a slow-growth environment, productivity gains are essential and there is an opportunity to profit from innovative strategies. In the field of operations research and process systems engineering, the main strategy to combat the emerging challenges and improve the efficiency of process industry is the pursue of optimal operating conditions through an enterprise-wide optimization (EWO).EWO involves optimizing the operations of supply, manufacturing and distributions activities of a company. A major focus in EWO is the optimal operation of manufacturing facilities, which involves the decision-making processes of planning, scheduling and real-time operational control. Traditionally, these decision-making problems are addressed individually and in a hierarchical manner, solved in a sequential way. An upper level problem is often solved with few or none information from lower levels. Its result is then transmitted to the lower levels, which must be optimized given the conditions already set by upper level problems. Consequently, sequential approaches may result in sub-optimal and infeasible solutions that can be avoided by an appropriate integration of different decision layers.The objective of this work is to provide tools and the technology to establish optimal operating conditions by modernizing and integrating the decision-making process within a company. The integration is achieved by using simulation-based optimization techniques, surrogate modelling and feasibility analysis to transmit the information from lower levels to upper levels of the decision-making hierarchy. The problem of integrating scheduling and control is first addressed, followed by the problem of integrating planning and scheduling problems. By coupling the fundamentals of the developed integration strategies, enterprise wide optimization is achieved. The problem of planning, scheduling and control of a complex industrial-sized problem is then solved to demonstrate the adaptability, viability and performance of the proposed framework.

The hot and the restless: a series of magmatic and deformational events in northeastern North America from early rifting to recent times
Creators: name: Sequeira Peraza, César
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: This thesis presents geochronological, structural and geophysical evidence of a complex tectonic history of northeastern North America in a geologic window from the Permian to Recent times, spanning the beginning of rifting of supercontinent Pangea until the current passive margin stage. 40Ar/39Ar geochronology on mafic and felsic sheet intrusions from New England suggests a high sensitivity of the method to a fine crystalline texture, excess argon from Paleozoic crustal rocks, and argon loss from subsequent thermal events. Before the widely recognized ~201 Ma Central Atlantic Magmatic Province, magmatic events occurred at ~271 Ma, ~247 Ma and ~220 Ma. The combination of these and previously published ages with structural data of sheet intrusions and faults allowed dating and characterization of the stress/strain state that resulted from the interaction of magmatism and crustal deformation. Consequently, the data suggest a shift from NW-SE extension before and during rifting, to NE-SW extension and strike-slip regimes after rifting. Seismic-reflection data, well-log data and recent seismic activity provide evidence of such late deformation; however, channel fills of glacial origin could create artifacts in the geophysical data that obscure the true deformation.

description: To disentangle the different competing physical processes at play in Galactic evolution, a detailed chrono chemicalkinematical, and dynamical characterisation of the disc bimodality is necessary, including high number statistics. Here we make use of an extremely precise subsample of the Gaia DR3 GSP-Spec catalogue of stellar chemophysical parameters. The selected database is composed of 408 800 stars with a median uncertainty of 10 K, 0.03 and 0.01 dex in Teff , log(g) and [M/H], respectively. The stellar parameter precision allows to break the age-metallicity degeneracy of disc stars. For the first time, the disc bimodality in the Kiel diagramme of giant stars is observed, getting rid of interstellar absortion issues. This bimodality produces double Red Giant Branch sequences and Red Clump features for mono-metallicity populations. A comparison with BaSTI isochrones allows to demonstrate that an age gap is needed to explain the evolutionary sequences separation, in agreement with previous age-metallicity relations obtained using sub-giant stars. A bimodal distribution in the stellar mass-[alpha/Fe] plane is observed at constant metallicity. Finally, a selection of stars with [M/H]=0.45 \pm 0.03 dex shows that the most metal-rich population in the Milky Way disc presents an important proportion of stars with ages in the range 5-13 Gyr. This old, extremely metal-rich population is possibly a mix of migrated stars from the internal Galactic regions, and old disc stars formed before the last major merger of the Milky Way. The Gaia GSP-Spec Kiel diagrammes of disc mono-abundance stellar populations reveal a complex, non linear age-metallicity relation crafted by internal and external processes of Galactic evolution. Their detailed analysis opens new opportunities to reconstruct the puzzle of the Milky Way disc bimodality.

Records
The Northern Highlands, including Oldeani-Ngorongoro Range, Mt Meru, Mt Kilimanjaro, Longido, Mbulu Forests, Mt Kwaraha and Lolkisale, at 1400 – 2000 m (Kielland 1990, p. 96). The population from Lolkisale is intermediate to the nominate subspecies (Kielland 1990, loc. cit.). Henning (1989, p. 252) notes Moshi and Arusha (probably based on van Someren 1971, p. 219). In OUMNH there is a female from the slopes of Kilimanjaro, December 1905, and a male from Taveta, c. 2500 ft, both collected by Rogers. The BMNH has three males collected by Cooper at Engare- Nairobi, West Kilimanjaro, at 4000 – 5000 ft, February – March 1937, a male from Old Moshi collected by Selous, and a female labelled ‘ Kilimandjaro ’ ex Rogenhofer ex Honrath ex Adams that could have been part of the original type series of Charaxes baumanni Rogenhofer (the restricted type locality of which nominal species is the Pare Mountains). Although not encountered by Liseki (2009), it might conceivably enter the lowest forest zone on Kilimanjaro – although, according to Kielland (loc. cit.), it is found in open forests and shrublands. Outside Tanzania subspecies tenuis occurs in Kenya (highlands east of Rift Valley). Collectively, the 10 subspecies of C. baumanni Rogenhofer, 1891, listed by Ackery et al. (1995, p. 434) range widely in eastern Africa, from southern Sudan to Mozambique.

description: This work explores the fundamental problem of the recoverability of a sparse tensor being reconstructed from its compressed embodiment. We present a generalized model of block-sparse tensor recovery as a theoretical foundation, where concepts measuring holistic mutual incoherence property (MIP) of the measurement matrix set are defined. A representative algorithm based on the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) framework, called tensor generalized block OMP (T-GBOMP), is applied to the theoretical framework elaborated for analyzing both noiseless and noisy recovery conditions. Specifically, we present the exact recovery condition (ERC) and sufficient conditions for establishing it with consideration of different degrees of restriction. Reliable reconstruction conditions, in terms of the residual convergence, the estimated error and the signal-to-noise ratio bound, are established to reveal the computable theoretical interpretability based on the newly defined MIP, which we introduce. The flexibility of tensor recovery is highlighted, i.e., the reliable recovery can be guaranteed by optimizing MIP of the measurement matrix set. Analytical comparisons demonstrate that the theoretical results developed are tighter and less restrictive than the existing ones (if any). Further discussions provide tensor extensions for several classic greedy algorithms, indicating that the sophisticated results derived are universal and applicable to all these tensorized variants.

The interactive model of green HRM practices and line manager's ethical leadership: employee intentions for green behavior and attitudes toward the organization
Creators: name: Shim, Hanbo
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Green human resource management (green HRM) research has recently emerged as sustainability-targeted HRM to promote employee's pro-environmental behavior and serve the strategic goals of corporate environmental sustainability. In this study, I examine the effects of commitment-eliciting and compliance-achieving green HRM practices under the line managers' ethical leadership from employees' perspective. Specifically, I test the two-way effects of commitment-eliciting and compliance-achieving green HRM practices on employees' green behavior intentions, trust in the organization, and organizational cynicism. Further, I suggest the roles of line managers' ethical leadership to facilitate the interaction between the two orientations of green HRM practices. Conducting a scenario-based video vignette experiment with 417 undergraduate students from two U.S. universities, I find that commitment-eliciting green HRM practices have direct effects on the employee outcomes. However, neither the two-way nor three-way effects of green HRM practices and line managers' ethical leadership are significant. Meanwhile, the results from supplemental analyses reveal that the compliance-achieving green HRM practices per se have direct effects on employees' green behavior intentions and trust in an organization. Moreover, the line manager's ethical leadership strengthens a negative relationship between commitment-eliciting green HRM practices and organizational cynicism. Despite its findings and limitations, this study has implications for commitment-eliciting and compliance-achieving HRM orientations in a green HRM context, as well as suggesting how an ethical line manager may enact the two orientations of green HRM among employees and address the strategic goals of environmental sustainability.

Forewing length: male 22 – 26 mm [mean (n = 4) 23.68 mm, SD = 1.231]; female 28 – 34 mm [mean (n = 5) 30.26 mm, SD = 1.731]. van Someren (1974, p. 421) gave male forewing length as 28 – 30 mm, female as 32 – 35 mm, both apparently larger than the small sample we have measured.
Records
Kielland (1990, p. 104) recorded subsp. kenyensis from Ukerewe Island (Lake Victoria), the Pare Mountains, the Usambaras, and Pemba, at altitudes up to 1500 m, describing it as ‘ uncommon and local ’. Henning (1989) gives no specific records for Kilimanjaro, and there is no Kilimanjaro material of this taxon in OUMNH. However, van Someren (1975, p. 425) lists ‘ Taveta-Kilimanjaro area ’ as part of its range – and on this basis, together with a male from New Moshi and another from Taveta in BMNH (where they have been placed, perhaps incorrectly, as the more southerly Charaxes j. argynnides Westwood), we include C. j. kenyensis as an element of the lower slopes fauna. There must be significant doubt, however, regarding the subspecies assignment (including the issue of size, as noted above). Beyond Tanzania, subsp. kenyensis is restricted to Kenya, where it occurs up to the Somalian border, with transitional forms in northwestern Kenya and eastern Uganda. Divided into eight races, C. jahlusa (Trimen, 1862) is an east African insect, found from Somalia to South Africa (Ackery et al. 1995, p. 446).
