Maratus volans

description: The volans group
This group contains three of the most colourful peacock spiders. Males of all three species have a large, fringed fan with distinctive figures comprised of pigmented scales on a background of iridescent scales. Courtship display of all three is similar, but M. pardus tends to display the fan behind the extended legs III, M. volans in front of legs III, and M. elephans with one leg III in front of the fan and one leg III behind it. M. elephans and M. pardus are known from only a few localities, but M. volans is widely distributed along the east coast of Australia and is easily the best-known of all peacock spiders. The species name volans relates to the fact that Pickard-Cambridge (1874) was told that this spider used its flaps to fly (although he also guessed that they had a "sexual" function). A black and white sketch of a Maratus volans specimen was figured in an early guide to flying animals of the British Museum (Ridewood 1912). This was the only peacock spider featured in a popular guide to Australian spiders by Mascord (1970), who still thought that it might fly.

Frankliniella sanabriana

description: Frankliniella sanabriana Skarlinsky and Rugman-Jones (Fig. 48)
 Diagnosis. This species is similar to F. gardeniae and F. inca. The subtle difference in the shape of the antennal segment III pedicel distinguishes it from the latter two species. The lateral margins on the distal half of the pedicel of F. sanabriana sharply converges apically whereas the apical sides of the pedicel on F. gardeniae and F. inca are nearly parallel.
 Distinguishing features. Color. Body, wings and legs pale (Fig. 48A). Pigmented ventral eye facets with the 0-1-2 pattern. Structure. Antennal segment II approximately 1.7 times longer than wide, segment III pedicel chalice-shaped with tapered lateral angles and the basal collar outline is indistinct (Fig. 48B). Head with the PO1, OC3 setae in position 2B (Fig. 48C). Pronotum with 2 mAM setae (Fig. 48C). Upper surface of the hind coxae with microtrichia. Abdominal tergite VIII posteromarginal comb complete, microtrichia 14–19 µm (Fig. 48D).
 Interception frequency. Rare.
 Region(s) of interceptions. Central America and the Caribbean.

description: For millennia, teamwork has been fundamental to human progress, and it has been the focus of social psychology study into small group behaviour for almost 60 years. However, as businesses throughout the world reorganized work around teams during the previous two decades, the nature of cooperation and the variables influencing it became a focus of research in organizational culture and management. This article discusses knowledge management as one of an organization's most significant assets on team cohesion. Hence it may be used to add value to employees, adapt to environmental change, achieve corporate excellence, save time, raise productivity, improve company capacity for innovation, and help management handle employee and customer concerns. The study was founded on qualitative research with three objectives discussed. The study findings established a relationship between variables and demonstrated the impact knowledge resource has on teamwork cohesion in organizations

Quintus Cicero, the tribunate, and the Commentariolum Petitionis
Creators: name: Alexander, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Illinois Chicago
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 43
subject: History, heritage and archaeology

description: This paper, which was delivered at CAMWS (The Classical Association of the Middle West and South) on April 8, 2021, makes the point that there is a tension between the very negative viewpoint that the character of Quintus Cicero presents in the De legibus about the tribunate and the positive attitude that the supposed author of the Commentariolum Petitionis, namely Quintus Cicero, expresses about C. Aurelius Cotta (cos. 75 B.C.), whose legislation restored the prestige of the tribunate. This tension can best be explained by Alexander's thesis that Quintus Cicero was not the real author of the Comm. Pet., that readers were expected to notice the incongruity, and thereby perceive the ironic nature of the Comm. Pet.
Demystifying Digital Preservation Risk with CHARM: What, Where, How?

description: These slides were produced for an OPF webinar on the CHARM model. The session explored how the nature and complexity of digital preservation risk is demystified through the CHARM toolkit and its deep dive into digital preservation risk. 

The presentation focuses in particular on the detail of the CHARM Reference Model. It introduces CHARM’s definition of digital preservation, to demonstrate how this forms the foundations for a  conceptual, meaningful and useful definition of the concept of digital preservation risk and associated target values. It then explores how this definition – and associated models – were used to establish a landscape, abstract model of risk sources in digital preservation. The presentation also includes an overview of how CHARM concepts, models, and vocabulary can be used in practice to develop secenario-based risk assessments with characterised risk statements.

Moreover, there is also plenty of confusion about the type locality (see above), based on a comment by Treitschke (1834) who mentioned that this species was first found by E.F. Germar during his trip to Dalmatia. However, in his work about that journey Germar (1817) does not mention a word about that species. Reading Treitschke’s comment in detail we can see that he wrote on page 101: “Der Schmetterling wurde, so viel mir bekannt, von Herrn Professor Germar auf seiner Reise nach Dalmatien zuerst entdeckt und benannt, von Hrn. Bayle-Barelle beschrieben, und von D. Passerini nach den ersten Ständen aufgefunden und abgebildet, so, dass die Benennung Aller [sic], Ampelophaga [sic], und nicht die spätere, von Bonelli: – Vitis, – zu gelten hat”. From this sentence we see that Treitschke only “thought to remember” that Germar had taken this species in Dalmatia and this was an error, as is explained correctly in a footnote by Issekutz (1957: 35). However, several entomologists have fallen into the same trap believing that Germar had first found this species in Dalmatia and that this must be the type locality. They obviously did not clearly understand Treitschke’s German words: “so viel mir bekannt”, meaning that he only thought he remembered and obviously, Treitschke was wrong.

description: This paper discusses alternative approaches for interacting with virtual reality scenes on mobile devices, based upon work conducted as part of the locus project. Three prototypes are introduced that adopt different interaction paradigms for mobile virtual reality scenes: interaction can be via the screen only, movement and gestures within the real-world environment, or a mixture of these two approaches. The paper concludes by suggesting that interaction via movement and gestures within them may be a more intuitive approach for mobile virtual reality scenes. With the use of an immersive display system such as the CAVE system, the user can realize a 3D immersive virtual environment realistically. However, interacting with virtual worlds in CAVE systems using traditional input devices to perform easy Operations such as manipulation, object selection, and navigation is often difficult. This difficulty could diminish the immersion and sense of presence when it comes to 3D virtual environment tasks. Our research aims to implement and evaluate alternative approaches to interaction with immersive virtual environments on mobile devices for manipulation and object selection tasks. As many researchers have noted, using a mobile device as an interaction device has several advantages, including a built-in display, built-in control, and touch screen facility. These advantages facilitate simple tasks within immersive virtual environments. This research proposes new methods using mobile devices like Smartphones to perform different kinds of interactions both as an input device, (e.g. performing selection and manipulation of objects) and as an output device.

External characters. Wingspan of the holotype 19.5 mm. Forewings grey with four dark dots, two of them situated in discal part of wing and on costal edge, two other dots on medial part and at base of wing. Hindwing uniformly grey.
Male genitalia. Valvae asymmetrical. Left valva with detached cucullus, middle part of valva with oval aperture on inner side. Upper process of valva reaches middle of its length, strongly broadened on the distal part. Right valva with basal projection on inner side and oval aperture in medial part. Distal part of valva substantially narrowed. Upper process of valva doesn’t reach middle part, broadened on top but slightly less than on left valva. Uncus weakly bifurcate at apex. Lobes of VII sternum elongated, left lobe broader than right. Aedeagus angular, arcuate.
Female genitalia. Papilla analis oval. Posterior apophysis twice as long as papillae anales. Anterior apophysis twice as short as papillae anales. Antrum funnel-shaped, with angular ostium. Ductus broad, grading into bursa copulatrix, ductus seminalis long, broad, oval.
Diagnosis. Agdistis nyasa sp. nov. is an intermediate species between A. facetus Bigot and A. rumurutia Gielis.Such traits in the male genitalia as the weakly bifurcate uncus and apically broadened valvae align this new species with A. facetus Bigot. The shape of the right valva and aedeagus indicates a potential close relationship to A. rumurutia Gielis. This species differs from A. malitiosa by the elongated lobes of sternum VII, the shape of the right valva and the arcuated aedeagus. It differs from A. rumurutia by the slightly bifurcate uncus, the apically broadened upper processes of valva and the different structure of the left valva.
Distribution: Malawi.
Flight period: May–December.
Etymology. The specific epithet nyasa is derived from the former name of Lake Malawi.
