description: Penthimia distanti Baker
Figs 139–143, 226–227.
Penthimia nitida Distant 1912: 444; 1918: 21. Junior homonym of P. nitida Lethierry, 1876. Penthimia distanti Baker 1924: 367, nom. nov. for P.nitida Distant 1912 nec Lethierry 1876.
“Head, pronotum, scutellum, and tegmina (excluding apical area) shining black, apical area of tegmen greyish subhyaline, outwardly and inwardly ochraceous, more or less extending upward to the opaque black area; body beneath black; head rounded in front, the anteruior margin somewhat acutely reflexed; pronotum moderately convex, slightly wrinkled, and sparingly coarsely punctate; scutellum opaquely black, thickly finely punctate; tegmina (excluding apical area) coarsely puncate; posterior legs suffused with black, posterior tibiae strongly spinose, the tarsi ochraceous. Long. 4mm ”. (Distant, 1912: 444).
Male genitalia. Subgenital plate triangular with short hairlike setae. Preapical lobe of style well developed, apical apophysis long, fingerlike with corrugated lateral margin at apex. Aedeagus with well developed bilobed dorsal apodeme, preatrium short, shaft tubular directed caudally at base, then erect dorsally, abruptly tapered at apex, slightly curved forming hook; lateral margin serrated at apical 0.33, with V-shaped excavation at apex, gonopore apical.
Length. Male: “ 4mm ”
Type material examined. MAYANMAR: lectotype ♂ P. distanti Baker (here designated): ‘ Penthimia nitida Dist. Type [hw]’, ‘Moulmein’, ‘Distant coll.1911-383’ (BMNH).
Remarks. This species was described from an unknown number of specimens (syntypic) with the following data: ‘ Burma; Moulmein (Brit. Mus.)’. Subsequent to removal of the type's abdomen most of the specimen became detached from its mount and was lost; examination of the remaining thoracic parts on a short pin revealed glue had been used in the past to fix the specimen. From a previously taken image of the type (Fig. 226), the species is similar to several species, all predominantly black with the apical area of the forewing paler and with a relatively slender body (see under P. curvata). In the male genitalia distanti is similar to P. curvata and P. meghalayensis but differs in the structure of the aedeagal shaft with the hook at the apex of shaft more elongate in lateral view.

Figs 15A–C, 16A, B, 17A–D
Philanthus schulthessi Maidl, 1924: 242, ♀.
Diagnosis. Body length 11–13.5 mm (female).
Greatly resembles female of P. minor, but differs from that species in having the body punctures conspicuously denser (Figs 15A–C, 16A, B, 17A–D); metapleuron densely pilose (inconspicuous in P. minor) (Fig. 16A); colour pattern of gaster (Fig. 16C, 17B); antenna whitish basally and pale reddish at the rest (Figs 15B, 17B) (basal segments yellowish and the rest of flagellum black in P. minor (Fig. 9C)); gastral terga with conspicuously denser punctures, interspaces smaller than puncture diameter, thus appearing dull (Figs 16C, 17B) (less dense, with larger interspaces and shiny in P. minor (Fig. 9A)).
Material examined: 1♀, Marsa Matruh, 15.ix.1957, Aly collector (ASUA); 1♀, Marsa Matruh, vii.1952, Dr. T. S. collector (ASUA); 1♀, Marsa Matruh, 20.viii.1955, Aly collector (ASUA) (all were mistakenly identified as P. minor); a photograph from the OÖLM: 1♀, Marsa Matruh, 22–29.viii.1954, collector? (det. W.J. Pulawski, 1978).
Previous Egyptian records: Marsa Matruh (Dollfuss 2017; present study).
Extralimital distribution: Chad, Libya Mauritania, Sudan.
Remarks. In his Mauritanian paper, de Beaumont (1953) has mistakenly identified P. schulthessi as P. minor. However, because of some differences between the specimens examined by him and the true minor (the ocelloocular distance; the degree of emargination of pronotum; the dense punctures; and the colour of gastral T 1 and T 2) he treated it as a subspecies of P. minor. In 1956, comparing his Mauritanian specimens with schulthessi from Wadi Wour (an island near Khartoum, Sudan), he found them conspecific, and thus he corrected the Mauritanian minor subsp. of 1953 to be P. schulthessi.
The specimens examined from the ASUA collection were identified as P. minor, by comparing them with the photos of P. schulthessi received from OÖLM, they were found to be conspecific. Their characters also agree well with the Libyan specimen of de Beaumont’s P. schulthessi (1956:184) and to a large extent with figs 15, 16 (de Beaumont, 1956:184). All specimens under study as well as that photographed by OÖLM were collected from Marsa Matruh between May and September (1952–1957).

Asymphyloptera discrepans Collin, 1933: 324.
Type material examined. HOLOTYPE, ♀ labelled: “Holo-/ type [red bordered circle]”; “Allo-/ Type ♀ [red bordered circle]”; “See fig/ no. 73 [see Collin 1933]”; “ Asymphyloptera / discrepans, Coll. / Type ♀.”; “At light/ Verrugas Cañon [2000 m]/ Lima, Peru 24.6.[19]28/ R.C. Shannon” [all hand written]; “ BMNH (E) #/ 248151” (BMNH).
Recognition. This is a dark species with stylus arising from dorsoapical extension of the postpedicel; posterior margin of wing at base with short, fine setulae.
Description. See Collin (1933) for full description.
Remarks. Unfortunately, this species was described from a single female specimen. A male, collected near the type locality, will be required for accurate recognition of this species.

Martiodrilus (Maipure) tenkatei: Zicsi 2001: 116.
Material examined. HNHM AF /5369 one ex. French Guiana, Nouragues Nature Reserve, rain forest. Coll. T. Pavlíček, 0 6 January 2009., AF /5382 two ex. French Guiana, near Cacao. Coll. T. Pavlíček, 0 4 January 2009, AF /5384 one ex. French Guiana, Kourou. Coll. T. Pavlíček, 0 3 January 2009.
Diagnosis. L. 150–160 mm, D. 6–7 mm. No. segments 110–140. Color dark brown-violet dorsally and paler ventrally. Clitellum ½15–½27 saddle shaped. Tubercles long bands on ¼20, 21–½27. Muscular gizzard in 6, calciferous glands composite-tubular, eight pairs in 7–14. Lateral commissures in 7–9, oesophageal hearts in 10–11. Testes and funnels in 10, 11, in perioesophageal testis sacs. Spermathecae Salix leaf-shaped, four pairs in 5/6–8/9. Genital setae 1.5 mm long, 0.05 mm in diameter, spear-shaped with 9–10 crescentic indentations (Fig. 10).
Remarks. M. (Mp.) tenkatei (Horst, 1887) was described by several not fully adult specimens from Suriname. Michaelsen (1918) examined one of the syntypes and several other fully adult specimens and corrected the erroneous clitellar data of Horst as follows: clitellum 16–27, tubercles 21–27. Later, Černosvitov (1935) described a new variety of M. tenkatei, M. tenkatei var. geayi from French Guiana, which differed from the nominal species by having much longer tubercles on 17–21. Zicsi (2001), in his revision of the subgenus Martiodrilus (Maipure), elevated M. tenkatei var. geayi to species rank. Our specimens fit the revised diagnosis of M. tenkatei better, however, the question arises whether Černosvitov miscounted the length of the tubercles. If this is the case, M. (Mp.) geayi is simply synonymous with M. (Mp.) tenkatei.

Robustochelia

description: Genus: Robustochelia Kudinova-Pasternak, 1983
Diagnosis: Antennule 5-articled. Antenna 6-articled, articles 2 and 3 with robust seta. Mandible molar pointed. Maxillule with spiniform setae and regular setae distally. Maxilliped palp robust; endites relatively small, with two setae and without tubercles. Cheliped robust, attached by ventral sidepiece; propodus and dactylus strongly chitinized. Pereopods 1–3 with coxa; merus, carpus and propodus with regular setae. Pereopods 4–6 merus and carpus with spiniform setae. Pleopods well developed. Uropod endopod 2-articled, exopod 1- articled.
Male: Similar to female, but antennule articles 1–3 clearly solid.
Type species: Robustochelia robusta (Kudinova-Pasternak, 1970).
Gender of generic name: Masculine.
Species included: Robustochelia angusticephala Kudinova-Pasternak, 1986; R. longa Kudinova-Pasternak, 1983; R. robusta (Kudinova-Pasternak, 1970); R. virilis n. sp.
Remarks: A diagnosis of Robustochelia modified after Kudinova-Pasternak (1983), was presented by Larsen (2005: page 276). Taking the chance to examine the type species – Robustochelia robusta (Kudinova- Pasternak, 1970) we have presented an amended diagnosis of the genus. According to our observation the genus is not only defined by robust and heavily chitinized chelae, but also pointed mandibular molar and pleopods present in both sexes. A peculiar feature of the genus is setation of the pereopods that is regular in the first three pereopods and modified to short spiniform setae in pereopods 4–6. In such circumstances Robustochelia solida Larsen, 2005 that has a wide molar, strong setae in all pereopods and lacks pleopods in the female cannot be included in the genus. It is very probable that Larsen’s species represents a new genus that may be more closely related to Leptognathioides and Monstrotanais.
Bearing in mind the characters mentioned above, the newly defined genus Robustochelia shows some relation to Leptognathia in having a pointed molar, lacking tubercles on the maxilliped endites, having delicate setae together with spiniform setae on the maxillules and regular setae on pereopods 1–3. At the same time Robustochelia differs from Leptognathia by having minute setation on the labium, strong setae on pereopods 4–6 and a different type of male.

description: Paragolsinda Breuning, 1956
Paragolsinda Breuning, 1956: 675; 1959: 49.
Type species: P. fruhstorferi Breuning, 1956, by monotypy.
Redescription. Body elongate, oblong in shape. Eyes strongly emarginated or almost subdivided; lower lobes relatively large, slightly wider than long. Antennal tubercles elevated. Antennae rather long and thick; each segment without apical spine, evenly fringed beneath by suberect short setae which become sparser towards the apical segments; scape rather long, straightly thickened apically with a well developed cicatrix on the apex; third segment slightly curved, distinctly longer than scape and fourth, respectively; the last segment of male bent inwardly near the extreme apex. Pronotum wider than long, with three feeble discal tubercles; each lateral projection vestigial. Prosternal process not projected below, roundly sloped in lateral view. Mesosternal process with a well developed tubercle on the center near the apex, almost truncate in lateral view. Elytra with well developed obtuse bosses near base; disk lacking long suberect hairs; apex with outer angle gently rounded. Mesotibiae without sulcus on anterior side.
Endophallus. Endophallus moderate in length, almost twice as long as median lobe. BPH nearly 0.2 times as long as endophallus. MPH nearly 0.7 times as long as endophallus, subdivided into two membrane subdivisions as almost fused MT+CT and PB by a distinct constriction; PB moderately long. APH rather short, nearly 0.1 times as long as endophallus, well swollen and oblong bursiform, with ED and AS on dorsal side. MSp usually distributed in apical 2/3 of MT+CT. LSp relatively large, uni-dentate, rather thick and short, arranged into two irregular lines between latero-ventral side and dorsal side in basal 1/3 of MT+CT. SSp uni-dentate, short and small, covered almost entire area of PB. MSp area and LSp area adjacent. LSp area and SSp area are separated but close to each other. ED arising from dorsal side of APH, connected with basal part of AS. AS consisted of a rod-like sclerite.
Notes. This genus shares some superficial similarities with the genus Mesoereis or the genus Eurymesosa, but distinguishable from them by having deeply emarginate eyes, developed obtuse bosses near base of elytra.
We were not able to observe the male genitalia of P. fruhstorferi Breuning, 1956 which is the type species of this genus. The above definition of the endophallic structures is based on the other three species.

This species bears the highest chromosome number known for the subfamily: 2n=35 (34t +Xm). The autosomes are all telocentrics and the X is a large metacentric. The sizes of the autosomes are shown gradually decreasing from large to small (Fig. 25 A). At first metaphase there are 17 autosomal bivalents and the X (Fig. 25 B). As usual, the X moves to one pole with 17 autosomal halves at first anaphase (Fig. 25 C). There are two types of second metaphase: 17 autosomes with the X (Fig. 25 D) and 17 autosomes without X (Fig. 25 E).

Penthimia juno Distant, 1908: 245.
Black, faintly touched with yellowish brown on scutellum laterally and at apex, and on apical area of forewing, the latter brownish.
Female genitalia. Seventh sternite twice as wide as long medially with angular lateral angles and a median projection the latter narrowed to narrowly rounded apex.
Length. Female: 3.7mm.
Type material examined. SRI LANKA: Lectotype ♀ (here designated): ’ Type H.T’ ‘ Penthimia juno Dist. type’ ‘Kandy, Ceylon’ (BMNH).
Remarks. This species was described from an unknown number of specimens (syntypic) with the following data: ‘ Ceylon; Kandy (Green).’
This small species, known only from the female type, resembles P. ereba externally but can be distinguished from the latter by its more uniformly dark colour, shorter vertex and more deeply concave posterior margin of the female pregenital sternite each side of the midline.

description: This study investigates the optimization of light-to-heat conversion in gold nanoparticles under irradiation by continuous- and pulsed-wave laser sources. The conversion process relies on the absorption of electromagnetic energy and the subsequent generation of heat, a phenomenon that is integral to a variety of applications. The photothermal conversion model is based on the Rayleigh-Drude approximation, facilitating predictions of the optical cross-sections for capped gold nanorods. The mathematical model takes into account the shape and size parameters of the nanoparticles, in particular diameter and length, as well as the thickness of the capping agent, the concentration of the nanoparticles and the refractive indices of the surrounding medium and the capping material. The aim is to maximize the efficiency of photothermal conversion. Using the Nelder-Mead optimization algorithm, the research examines three distinct laser wavelengths: two continuous-wave lasers at 465 nm, 808 nm, and a pulsed laser at 532 nm, respectively. The present research extends to the mathematical modeling of six key parameters that influence the conversion of light to heat, providing a comprehensive optimization framework. The obtained results indicate that for continuous-wave lasers, the aspect ratio of optimal gold nanoparticle dimensions varies as a function of wavelength: a higher aspect ratio (0.7) is optimal for the shortest wavelength 465 nm, compared to the 808 nm wavelength with 0.17 aspect ratio. In contrast, for the pulsed laser at 532 nm, the aspect ratio of the optimal nanoparticles approaches almost unity (0.96), demonstrating that a quasi-spherical shape is most effective in maximizing heat generation. These results point to the dependence of photothermal efficiency on laser characteristics such as wavelength, pulse behavior and intensity. By correlating nanoparticle design with specific laser parameters, this work contributes to the targeted development of nanomaterials for efficient energy conversion in applications ranging from bacteria deactivation, through energy generation and medical therapies to materials processing.

Philanthus sulphureus F. Smith, 1856: 469, ♁.
Remarks. This species was described from northern India. In his list of insects probably collected by J. Lord in Egypt and determined by F. Walker, Innes Bey (1912 [1911]) recorded P. sulphureus from Egypt based on Walker’s label as sulfureus collected from Wadi Feiran (as Wady Ferran, South Sinai). Walker’s specimen was destroyed by dermestids, therefore, it must be regarded as being a doubtful record.

description: To explore caregivers’ experiences and engagement during the 16-week Target Word™ Hanen® program for parents designed to support late talkers. Qualitative interpretative description methodology was used to understand the experience of five caregivers who had completed Target Word™ to support their children (aged 18-36 months). Caregivers attended a focus group to share their perspectives. Transcripts of these focus groups were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Two themes were identified regarding caregiver engagement during Target Word™ intervention. Firstly, caregivers described explicit support roles for speech-language pathologists: (a) Beginning phase (clarify expectations), (b) middle phase (enable caregiver to link changes in their behaviour to positive child outcomes), and (c) final phase (empowered caregivers). Secondly, caregiver engagement is influenced by: (a) Individual needs and expectations, (b) active engagement during key learning moments, and (c) influence of the broader environment. Each caregiver participating in Target Word™ experienced unique engagement journeys over the course of the program. Speech-language pathologists can explicitly facilitate engagement at each phase of Target Word™ to promote active engagement for learning and ultimately caregiver empowerment to support their children’s language growth.
Power Electronics with a Twist: Advanced Modeling Approaches for Litz Wire Applications-Slides
Creators: Philipp Buchsteiner
Publisher: name: IEEE
Year: 2024

PELS Webinar Slides

Abstract:From everyday devices such as induction cookers and inductive chargers to industrial power electronics, high-frequency applications have found their way into our world. However, increasing the applied frequency raises the losses in a conductor due to the skin and proximity effects. Improving product designs by reducing heat generation and material usage are key aspects of their development. To avoid an increase in unwanted loss under high-frequency operation, litz wires are commonly used. These special wires consist of up to thousands of individual conductor strands, bundled and twisted to ensure an even current distribution across the strand bundle. Detailed modeling of these complex geometries is a considerable challenge, if not practically impossible. In this webinar, several advanced litz wire modeling techniques will be discussed, including explicit 2D or 3D finite element modeling and the use of analytical, empirical, or measured data. Additionally, we will cover how the computed loss can be included in thermal and structural simulations to allow for a complete power electronics design. Finally, we will explore the future of modeling in this area, including how deep learning networks can be trained to create fast surrogate models and how to integrate these models into simulation apps and digital twins. This discussion will provide insights into the potential advancements in modeling efficiency and accuracy, paving the way for more innovative solutions in power electronics.
Electric Vehicle On-Board Solar Generation: System-level Benefits and Power Electronic Challenges-Slides

Publisher: name: IEEE

PELS Webinar Slides

Abstract: This webinar will give an overview of system-level modeling and analysis of electric vehicle (EV) on-board solar generation, as well as discuss the related power electronic challenges. To date, solar-charged electric vehicles have been mainly considered as niche projects or with small vehicle rooftop panels that can slightly extend electric driving range. However, recent research has shown that a large-scale solar-charged EV, with low-cost, flexible, and thin film solar cells integrated onto the steel of all upwards-facing vehicle body panels, is a viable solution to help mitigate EV charging and range concerns. Only by considering the full range of benefits, namely to the grid, the driver, and the environment, can the value of solar-charged EVs truly be appreciated. Thus, this webinar will first present these system-level benefits based on detailed modeling work. Secondly, there are multiple power electronic approaches that can be used to convert the low-voltage solar power such that it can charge the high-voltage EV battery. This webinar will review these potential power electronic topologies from the literature and industry, and will discuss their advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, this webinar will also discuss Dr. Bauman's related research on similar applications such as solar-powered refrigerated trailers.
