description: Pseudosympycnus bicolor Robinson  (Figs. 1A, 4A)
Pseudosympycnus bicolor Robinson, 1967: 902, Figs. 10–11. Type locality: Rio Valle Nacional, Oaxaca, Mexico.
 Diagnosis. As in Soares and Capellari (2020) plus the femur III brown, except basal 1/3 yellow, with few slender ventral setae at basal 1/3 and 3–4 ventral strong setae near middle (Fig. 4A); tibia III slightly thicker than tibiae I and II, with ventral row of short, curved setae from base to apical 4/6 (Fig. 1A)
 Distribution. Mexico (Chiapas and Oaxaca).
 Remarks. Pseudosympycnus bicolor is similar to P. latitarsus sp. nov. by the IIIt 3 modified (mostly triangular and overlapping the base of IIIt 4 and with apical cluster of setae). But P. bicolor can be differentiated by the metepimeron and coxa III brown (metepimeron and coxa III yellow in P. latitarsus sp. nov.) and tibia III slightly thicker than tibiae I and II, with ventral row of short, curved setae from base to apical 4/6 (tibia III unmodified in P. latitarsus sp. nov.).

description: In this experiment, we aim to investigate eye movements for prevention actions, i.e., actions leading to the omission of an external event. For operant actions, i.e., actions producing an observable environmental effect, spontaneous anticipatory saccades towards the location of an expected action effect have been shown (e.g., Pfeuffer et al., 2016). Our experiment targets the question of whether similar anticipatory saccades can also be observed towards the location of a predictably prevented event.

Painting - perception & process, identity & ideology
Creators: name: Lilford, Russell John
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 1997

description: In an effort to understand the relations between existential, theoretical and practical aspects of the painting process and visual art production, this paper examines ideas concerning the relation between perception, cognition and ideology. To do this I have conveniently distinguished between two interrelated modes of perception; one being the mental, cognitive (internal) form, the other being a physical, tactile interactive (external) form. I further explore, how through the differential links between these perceptual processes, at the interface between lived experience and cognitive reason, ideology is synthesised. Having aligned the process of art production with the formation of ideology I include a brief examination of semiotics to show how perception is stratified by reading and relating to objects as signs. Our interaction and identification with objects in our physical and social environment, thereby also contributes to the existential and the ideological formation of identity. I suppose that the provisional evolution of (my) identity in the world of objects/signs becomes a source of (my) Identity in painting. A semiotic interpretation of art as a form of text leaves a meta narrative as a residue or excess to the manifest text or narrative of (my) art. In formulating and executing my work in the exhibition "Domains in Perception" the following operations were undertaken (in order of application): 1) Rectangular grid format. 2) Simplified heraldic image (geometric colour domains) within each rectangle. This structure allows a solid foundation to paint on, as well as having its own underlying historical meaning, as an abstraction of heraldry. 3) Depiction of domestic objects in expressionistic manner via varied mark making, in size, shape and tonal gradation; marks both surrounding and defining the objects. Whether or not from a post modem point of view, a significant aspect of this work is that it considers modernist conventions in painting. (including Cubism, Fauvism and Expressionism). The process of my paintings is a transitory linkage of perceptions, ideas and actions; the internal dialogue of thought and perception both forming, and set in motion by the action of language (objects/ signs/ painting).

description: The Quaternary glacial history of the Tweedsmuir Hills, Central Southern Uplands, Scotland, has received little attention since the 1980s, with earlier studies focussing on single lines of geomorphic evidence in isolated valleys. This study presents the first systematic glacial geomorphological assessment of the region, covering approximately 300 km2 with the map designed to be presented at A0. Mapping from remotely sensed imagery and field investigation reveal a large number of moraines and meltwater channels, both within valleys and occasionally extending to the plateau, alongside a range of peri- and para-glacial features, including solifluction lobes, alluvial fans, debris cones, river terraces and rock slope failures. Aspects of the mapped geomorphology are consistent with plateau icefield landsystems mapped elsewhere in Britain and this will hopefully form the basis for palaeoglaciological reconstructions which will improve our understanding of the extent and dynamics of former ice masses in the region.

description: Measuring wet deposition of organic carbon (OC) and black carbon (BC) is crucial for the complete understanding of the global circulation, lifetime, and radiative forcing of these aerosols. There is currently no accepted standard analytical method for measuring OC and BC concentration in precipitation. Different analytical methods have been employed for this purpose, but their feasibility has yet to be assessed. This manuscript evaluates the use of thermal-optical analysis (TOA), single-particle soot photometry (SP2), and ultraviolet–visible (UV/VIS) spectrophotometry for measuring BC in precipitation. In addition, total organic carbon (TOC) analysis was evaluated for the measurement of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in precipitation. Potential interferences and sources of bias were assessed for each method. Precipitation samples and reference materials containing carbon particles generated from wood combustion and a natural gas diffusion flame were used in this study. The UV/VIS spectrophotometer, despite showing linearity with BC concentration, had inadequate sensitivity (±18 μg/L) to measure the low concentrations expected in precipitation. The SP2 analysis was adequate to measure refractory BC in precipitation in terms of precision and detection limit; however, systematic loss was estimated to be 34% (±3%). Sample filtration followed by TOA was inefficient for measuring particulate carbon in rainwater, as the quartz fiber filter captured less than 38% of the BC mass. Filtration was improved by adding salts and acids into the water samples, and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, (NH4)H2PO4, was determined to be the best additive by increasing the collection efficiency of quartz fiber filters up to 95% (±5%). The TOC analyzer proved to be precise in the expected concentration range (200–5000 μg-C/L) for measuring DOC and total carbon (TC), including particulate OC and 94% (±2%) of the refractory BC in solution.

description: Emission factors (EFs) of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤10 µm (PM10) from the open burning/open detonation (OB/OD) of energetic materials were measured using a hybrid-optical remote sensing (hybrid-ORS) method. This method is based on the measurement of range-resolved PM backscattering values with a micropulse light detection and ranging (LIDAR; MPL) device. Field measurements were completed during March 2010 at Tooele Army Depot, Utah, which is an arid continental site. PM10 EFs were quantified for OB of M1 propellant and OD of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). EFs from this study are compared with previous OB/OD measurements reported in the literature that have been determined with point measurements either in enclosed or ambient environments, and with concurrent airborne point measurements. PM10 mass EFs, determined with the hybrid-ORS method, were 7.8 × 10−3 kg PM10/kg M1 from OB of M1 propellant, and 0.20 kg PM10/kg TNT from OD of TNT. Compared with previous results reported in the literature, the hybrid-ORS method EFs were 13% larger for OB and 174% larger for OD. Compared with the concurrent airborne measurements, EF values from the hybrid-ORS method were 37% larger for OB and 54% larger for OD. For TNT, no statistically significant differences were observed for the EFs measured during the detonation of 22.7 and 45.4 kg of TNT, supporting that the total amount of detonated mass in this mass range does not have an effect on the EFs for OD of TNT. Implications: Particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere affects the health of humans and ecosystems, visibility, and climate. Fugitive PM emissions are not well characterized because of spatial and temporal ubiquity and heterogeneity. The hybrid-ORS method is appropriate for quantifying fugitive PM emission factors (EFs) because it captures the spatial and temporal dispersion of ground level and elevated plumes in real time, without requiring numerous point measurement devices. The method can be applied to provide an opportunity to reduce the uncertainty of fugitive PM EFs and readily update PM emissions in National Emission Inventories for a range of fugitive PM sources.

 Comments. This species can be separated from its congenerics by the carinated propodeal lateral margins bearing a weak spine from which four erect hairs emerge. The morphology of the specimen we examined matches the diagnostic characters of the original description. However, as expected for a representative from another population separated from that of the Colombian collection site by almost 600 Km, our specimen displays certain morphological variations in reference to the illustration of Ortiz and Fernández (2011): absence of a lobe on the anterodorsal margin of the pronotum, mesonotum not bulging, and yellow hairs on the body dorsum. In Ecuador this species was collected by canopy fogging in the Chocó Biogeographic region. Nothing is known about its natural history except that it is likely arboreal. Dolichoderus utriensis was previously known by a single specimen from the Chocó Department of Colombia (Ortiz and Fernández, 2011).

 Comments. This species shows very long antennal scapes, about one third of their length extends beyond the posterior head margin; in frontal view, margin of vertex evenly rounded, not medially emarginate. T. ramulorum inrectum nests in small carton structures beneath leaves. It is the only species of the genus that uses a living resource for nesting (Guerrero, unpublished data). In the Mashpi cloud forest reserve APP observed colonies on the underside of leaves ofPalicourea sp. (Rubiaceae) and Heliconia sp. (Heliconiaceae) on tourist trails, but also on human-made, metallic-based constructions. Mashpi lies in a complex of foothill forests in northwestern Ecuador, where the Chocoan and Andean biota converge. This population is more than 900 Km away from the southernmost record known so far. The status of this taxon will possibly change to species in the coming future, as is the case with other subspecies within the genus (Escárraga et al., 2021; Guerrero, personal communication). Tapinoma ramulorum inrectum was previously known only in Central America (Janicki et al., 2016).

description: Predicting indoor exposures to ambient organic aerosol (OA) is complicated by shifts in the gas-particle partitioning of ambient organics with outdoor-to-indoor transport. This analysis aims to quantify the effect of changes in temperature and OA loading on the gas-particle partitioning of ambient organics transported indoors and explores whether accounting for shifts in partitioning closes the gap between measured indoor ambient OA concentrations and indoor concentrations calculated in a previous analysis using a model that accounts for only physical losses. Changes in the gas-particle partitioning of ambient organics with outdoor-to-indoor transport were calculated for 167 homes using measured temperatures and OA concentrations and published OA volatility distributions. Initially, it was assumed that ambient OA could be represented with a single volatility distribution. We then repeated the analysis treating ambient OA as the sum of distinct components, each with a distinct volatility distribution, derived from factor analysis of aerosol mass spectra (e.g., hydrocarbon-like OA [HOA], oxygenated OA [OOA]). We also evaluated the sensitivity of our calculations to uncertainty in the thermodynamic properties of ambient OA by varying the enthalpy of vaporization. Partitioning shifts were sensitive to enthalpy-of-vaporization assumptions and resulted in changes in indoor ambient OA concentrations of 13–27%. Our calculations indicate that phase changes are important determinants of residential exposure to ambient OA and are of sufficient magnitude to close the gap between measured and modeled indoor concentrations of ambient OA.

description: An existing differential mobility analyzer (DMA) of cylindrical electrodes and a novel DMA of rectangular plate electrodes are demonstrated for size fractionation of nanoparticles at high-aerosol flow rates in this work. The two DMAs are capable of delivering monodisperse size selected nanoparticles (SMPS σg < 1.1) at gas flow rates ranging from 200 slm to 500 slm. At an aerosol flow rate of 200 slm, the maximum attainable particle mean size is of about 20 nm for the cylindrical DMA and of nearly 50 nm for the rectangular plate DMA. The number concentration of the monodisperse nanoparticles delivered by the high-flow DMAs spans from 104 cm−3 to 106 cm−3 depending upon the particle mean size and particle size dispersion.

description: This work presents the development and characterization of a thermodenuder for the study and interpretation of aerosol volatility. Thermodenuder measurements are further combined with a continuous-flow streamwise thermal gradient CCN counter to obtain the corresponding aerosol hygroscopicity. The thermodenuder response function is characterized with monodisperse aerosol of variable volatility and hygroscopicity. The measurements are then interpreted with a comprehensive instrument model embedded within an optimization framework to retrieve aerosol properties with constrained uncertainty. Special attention is given to the interpretation of the size distribution of the thermodenuded aerosol, deconvoluting the effects of impurities and multiple charging, and to simplifications on the treatment of thermodenuder geometry, temperature, the cooling section, and the effects of curvature and accommodation coefficient on inferred particle volatility. Retrieved vapor pressures are consistent with published literature and shown to be most sensitive to uncertainty in the accommodation coefficient.

description: Accurate exposure assessments are needed to evaluate health hazards caused by airborne microorganisms and require air samplers that efficiently capture representative samples. This highlights the need for samplers with well-defined performance characteristics. While generic aerosol performance measurements are fundamental to evaluate/compare samplers, the added complexity caused by the diversity of microorganisms, especially in combination with cultivation-based analysis methods, may render such measurements inadequate to assess suitability for bioaerosols. Specific performance measurements that take into account the end-to-end sampling process, targeted bioaerosol and analysis method could help guide selection of air samplers. Nine different samplers (impactors/impingers/cyclones/ electrostatic precipitators/filtration samplers) were subjected to comparative performance testing in this work. Their end-to-end cultivation-based biological sampling efficiencies (BSEs) and PCR-/microscopy-based physical sampling efficiencies (PSEs) relative to a reference sampler (BioSampler) were determined for gram-negative and gram-positive vegetative bacteria, bacterial spores, and viruses. Significant differences were revealed among the samplers and shown to depend on the bioaerosol's stress–sensitivity and particle size. Samplers employing dry collection had lower BSEs for stress-sensitive bioaerosols than wet collection methods, while nonfilter-based samplers showed reduced PSEs for 1 μm compared to 4 μm bioaerosols. Several samplers were shown to underestimate bioaerosol concentration levels relative to the BioSampler due to having lower sampling efficiencies, although they generally obtained samples that were more concentrated due to having higher concentration factors. Our work may help increase user awareness about important performance criteria for bioaerosol sampling, which could contribute to methodological harmonization/standardization and result in more reliable exposure assessments for airborne pathogens and other bioaerosols of interest.

description: An existing differential mobility analyzer (DMA) of cylindrical electrodes and a novel DMA of rectangular plate electrodes are demonstrated for size fractionation of nanoparticles at high-aerosol flow rates in this work. The two DMAs are capable of delivering monodisperse size selected nanoparticles (SMPS σg < 1.1) at gas flow rates ranging from 200 slm to 500 slm. At an aerosol flow rate of 200 slm, the maximum attainable particle mean size is of about 20 nm for the cylindrical DMA and of nearly 50 nm for the rectangular plate DMA. The number concentration of the monodisperse nanoparticles delivered by the high-flow DMAs spans from 104 cm−3 to 106 cm−3 depending upon the particle mean size and particle size dispersion.

description: In this globalised world where people of different cultures are interspersing at an increasing rate, many individuals of mixed cultural heritage are searching for a sense of belonging. While some are content to move from one culture to another, others find themselves on the borderlines or in-between cultures. Through visual art, some of these individuals have expressed their identity through a mix of cultural and other influences. As one of these individuals, I concentrate on these borderline or in-between cultural spaces in trying to understand this position of uncertainty. This research project investigates multiple identity constructions of Australians with Chinese heritage, in particular, those born in Australia. My investigation is motivated by the following questions: How do influences on the diverse cultural identity constructions of Australian-born Chinese affect their sense of belonging, particularly in the borderlines between cultures? How can printmaking be used in innovative ways to express this diversity and represent the persistent search for a sense of place? The central premise is that many individuals oscillate amongst a variety of identity spaces, searching for balance on the borderlines of various cultures. Through my studio practice I have created ‘hybrid’ or fusion artworks, merging different imagery of the Australian and Chinese landscapes through various media, exploring multiple roles of printmaking as a traditional as well as modern art-form. These works are informed by other contemporary Chinese- Australian visual artists. The results of this studio practice are realised in an installation exhibition entitled Balancing on Borderlines. The exegesis encompasses an interdisciplinary approach including history, cultural studies and visual arts. The historical and cultural studies frameworks provide a theoretical background for my studio practice. An explanation of the creative process and progression of studio work connects the theoretical background and conceptual framework with the body of artwork to explore ‘oscillation’ of identity.

description: Measurements of submicron particulate matter (PM) were performed at an urban background station, in Helsinki, Finland during wintertime to investigate the chemical characteristics and sources of PM1. The PM1 was dominated by sulfate and organics. The source apportionment indicated that organic aerosol (OA) was a mixture from local sources (biomass burning (BBOA), traffic, coffee roaster (CROA)), secondary compounds formed in local wintertime conditions (nitrogen containing OA (NOA), semivolatile oxygenated OA (SV-OOA), and regional and long-range transported compounds (low volatile oxygenated OA, LV-OOA). BBOA was dominated by the fragments C2H4O2+ and C3H4O2+ (m/z 60.021 and 73.029) from levoglucosan, or other similar sugar components, comprising on average 32% of the BBOA mass concentration. The ratio between fragments C2H4O2+/C3H4O2+ was significantly lower for CROA (=1.1) when compared to BBOA (=2.1), indicating that they consisted of different sugar compounds. In addition, a component containing substantial amount of nitrogen compounds (NOA) was observed in a sub-arctic region for the first time. The NOA contribution to OA ranged from 1% to 29% and elevated concentrations were observed when ambient relative humidity was high and the visibility low. Low solar radiation and temperature in wintertime were observed to influence the oxidation of compounds. A change in aerosol composition, with an increase of LV-OOA and decrease in BBOA, SV-OOA and NOA was noticed during the transition from wintertime to springtime. Size distribution measurements with high-time resolution enabled chemical characterization of externally mixed aerosol from different sources. Aged regional long-range transported aerosols were dominant at around 0.5 μm (vacuum aerodynamic diameter), whereas traffic and CROA emissions dominated at around 120 nm.

 Material examined. Ecuador. Orellana: Parque Nacional Yasuní, 32 Km SSE Limoncocha, Km 39 Pompeya sur, 1.29444°S, 76.0608°W, 216m, 2☿, 1995-10-07, Erwin, T. et al., fogging, (MEPN); Parque Nacional Yasuní, -1.2944, -76.0608, 216m, 1☿, 2014-02-01, Troya, A., (MEPN).
 Comments. This uncommonly collected species is easily recognizable from other Neotropical Camponotus since it bears two ubiquitous propodeal spines: the first located anteriorly just next to the vestigial metanotal suture, and the other, usually bifurcated apically, located at the dorsal propodeal slope. The petiolar node shows three horizontally equidistant spines, smaller than those on the propodeum. Virtually nothing is known on the biology of C. heathi, except that it is arboreal. P.S. Ward collected one specimen in a fallen Hymenaea (Fabaceae) tree in Santa Cruz, Bolivia (AntWeb, 2021). The presently examined specimens were collected through canopy fogging in Amazonian lowland rain forests. Wheeler (1923) reported a specimen from an unidentified termite nest in the Brazilian Amazonia. The undescribed Camponotus JTL 055 (INB0003605921) (AntWeb, 2021) from Heredia, Costa Rica, may be potentially close to C. heathi. It was previously known from Colombia, Guyana, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil (Amazonas, Rondônia, Mato Grosso), (Mackay and Mackay, 2019; AntWeb, 2021).

description: This work presents the development and characterization of a thermodenuder for the study and interpretation of aerosol volatility. Thermodenuder measurements are further combined with a continuous-flow streamwise thermal gradient CCN counter to obtain the corresponding aerosol hygroscopicity. The thermodenuder response function is characterized with monodisperse aerosol of variable volatility and hygroscopicity. The measurements are then interpreted with a comprehensive instrument model embedded within an optimization framework to retrieve aerosol properties with constrained uncertainty. Special attention is given to the interpretation of the size distribution of the thermodenuded aerosol, deconvoluting the effects of impurities and multiple charging, and to simplifications on the treatment of thermodenuder geometry, temperature, the cooling section, and the effects of curvature and accommodation coefficient on inferred particle volatility. Retrieved vapor pressures are consistent with published literature and shown to be most sensitive to uncertainty in the accommodation coefficient.

 Material examined. Ecuador. Orellana: Parque Nacional Yasuní, 32 Km SSE Limoncocha, Km 39 Pompeya sur, 0.65713°S, 76.453°W, 216m, 5☿, 1995-02-08, Erwin, T. et al., fogging, (MEPN); same information, except: 1☿, 1994-01-22, (MEPN).
 Comments. This species is easily recognizable due to its blackish body with brown or orange legs making a strong contrast; abundant erect hairs on the antennal scapes and tibiae; antennal scapes flattened near the base; anterior margin of clypeus concave and angled laterally. C. rufipes is widely distributed in South America (Mackay and Mackay, 2019). Colonies make their nests in rotten wood or under tree bark. Oliveira et al., (2015) found colonies of C. rufipes nesting in Cecropia trees, while Fagundes et al., (2010) found nests in bamboo in Brazil. The workers can be very aggressive and may be found foraging inside the vegetation (litter leaf) or on ground trails. It may inhabit in anthropized areas, as for example, cities and crops, but also in natural grasslands, shrubby areas, and tropical rain forests (Mackay and Mackay, 2019).
