description: Die Prozesskostenrechnung untersucht die Verteilung der Vollkosten auf die bei der Herbarbeleg-Digitalisierung anfallenden Tätigkeiten (hier exemplarisch in 2010). Außerdem stellt dieses Modell ein Instrument zum Monitoring neu eingesetzter Produkt- und Prozessinnovationen dar. Die Tätigkeiten sind in Projektkostenstellen abgegrenzt, um z. B. nach Einzel- und Gemeinkosten zu unterscheiden. Der Fokus liegt auf der Methodenentwicklung. Die Führungsaufgaben und unterstützenden Tätigkeiten sind in Bezug auf die Leistungsmenge neutral. Ihre Kosten werden auf leistungsmengeninduzierende Kerntätigkeiten umgelegt, die in sieben Phasenbereiche konsolidiert wurden. Für die untersuchten Projekte „Willdenow“ und „Global Plant Initiative“ ergaben sich jeweils Leistungs- und Kostenkennzahlen für die einzelnen Phasenbereiche. Entwicklungsbedarf des Modells besteht u. a. bei der Validität der Kostenträger, Zeichenerfassung, Kosten ehrenamtlicher Tätigkeiten, Reduktion der Komplexität und sonstiger Störungen. Die Prozesskostenrechnung ist als ein weiterführendes Instrument der Vollkostenrechnung entwickelt worden und kann auch als Deckungsbeitragsrechnung betrieben werden. Mit den Ergebnissen wird keine Kontrolle der Aufgabenwahrnehmung einzelner Mitarbeiter verfolgt.

description: Axino, related to the SUSY transformation of axion, can mix with goldstino in principle. This case is realized when some superfields carrying nonvanishing Peccei-Quinn charges develop both scalar VEVs and F-terms. In this case, we present a proper definition of axion and axino. With this definition, we present the QCD axino mass in the most general framework, including non-minimal Kähler potential. The axino mass is known to have a hierarchical mass structure depending on accidental symmetries. With only one axino, if $G_A=0$ where $G=K+\ln|W|^2$, we obtain $m_{\tilde a}=m_{3/2}$. For $G_A\ne 0$, the axino mass depends on the details of the Kähler potential. In the gauge mediation scenario, the gaugino mass is the dominant axino mass parameter. Therefore, we can take the theoretical QCD axino mass as a free parameter in the study of its cosmological effects, ranging from eV to multi-TeV scales, without a present knowledge on its ultraviolet completion.

Chastomera indica — Grover 1971: 4, pl. 1. Haplusia indica — Gagné 1978: 518.
Grover (1971) described male Chastomera indica as having two-segmented palpi (pl. 1, fig. 1) and flagellomeres with multifurcate translucent sensilla (pl. 1, fig. 4), which are characters suggesting this species should belong to Gynapteromyia. Her illustration of the genitalia (Grover 1971: pl. 1, fig. 8) supports this view, but is imprecise regarding some diagnostically important structures, such as gonocoxites and tegmen. The flagellomere nodes in G. indica were described as subglobose (Grover 1971: pl. 1, fig. 4), a rather unusual condition in Gynapteromyia that might help to recognize this species in the future.

description: We present an XMM-Newton analysis of the X-ray spectra of 39 clusters of galaxies at 0.42sigma) abundance evolution with redshift. The most significant deviation from no evolution (90% c.l.) is observed in the emission from the whole cluster (r<0.6r500), that could be parametrized as Z=A*(1+z)^(-0.8+/-0.5). Dividing the emission in 3 radial bins, no significant evidence of abundance evolution could be observed fitting the data with a power-law. A substantial agreement with measures presented in previous works is found. The error-weighted mean of the spatially resolved abundances in 3 redshift bins is consistent to be constant with z. Although the large error bars in the measure of the weighted-mean abundance prevent us from claiming any significant spatially resolved evolution, the trend with z in the 0.15-0.4r500 radial bin complements nicely the measures of Maughan et al., and broadly agrees with theoretical predictions. We also found that the data points derived from the spatially resolved analysis are well fitted by the relation Z(r,z)=Z0*(1+(r/0.15r500)^2)^(-a)*((1+z)/1.6)^(-gamma), showing a significant negative trend of Z with the radius and no significant evolution with the redshift. The present study is the first attempt made to spatially resolve the evolution of abundance with redshift. However, the sample size and the low statistics associated with most of the clusters in the sample prevents us to draw any statistically significant conclusion on the different evolutionary path that the different regions of the clusters may have traversed.

description: The cosmological bound of the stochastic background of gravitational waves is analyzed with the aid of the WMAP data, differently from lots of works in literature, where the old COBE data were used. From our analysis, it will result that the WMAP bounds on the energy spectrum and on the characteristic amplitude of the stochastic background of gravitational waves are greater than the COBE ones, but they are also far below frequencies of the earth-based antennas band. At the end of this letter a lower bound for the integration time of a potential detection with advanced LIGO is released and compared with the previous one arising from the old COBE data. Even if the new lower bound is minor than the previous one, it results very long, thus for a possible detection we hope in the LISA interferometer and in a further growth in the sensitivity of advanced projects.

description: Ziel der durchgeführten Untersuchung war es, Einsichten in die Studienmotivation und Berufserwartungen von Studienanfängern und -anfängerinnen der Evangelischen Religionspädagogik / Gemeindepädagogik zu erhalten. Heute bieten acht (Fach-) Hochschulen einen grundständigen, also in vollem Umfang berufsqualifizierenden Bachelorstudiengang Evangelische Religions- bzw. Gemeindepädagogik an, der zum kirchlichen Beruf einer Gemeindepädagogin oder eines Gemeindepädagogen bzw. eines Diakons oder einer Diakonin führen kann. Sechs dieser Studiengänge sehen heute eine Kombinationsmöglichkeit mit dem Studium der Sozialen Arbeit vor, die auch die staatliche Anerkennung als Sozialarbeiter bzw. Sozialpädagogin ermöglicht. Inwieweit sich dies auch auf die Wahl des Studienfachs Religions- und Gemeindepädagogik und auf die Studienmotivation auswirkt, war Gegenstand einer im Wintersemester 2011/12 durchgeführten Untersuchung. Warum entscheiden sich heute (zumeist) junge Menschen für ein religions- und gemeindepädagogisches Studium und welche Vorstellungen über ihre spätere Berufspraxis haben sie? Welche Rolle spielt für die Studienfachentscheidung die Möglichkeit des Erwerbs einer doppelten Qualifikation, die nicht notwendigerweise in eine spätere kirchliche Berufstätigkeit führen muss, sondern auch für den Bereich sozialer Arbeit in staatlichen Einrichtungen und bei freien Trägern qualifiziert? Um Antwort auf diese Fragen zu erhalten, wurden in einer Fragebogen-Erhebung die Studienanfänger und -anfängerinnen an acht Hochschulstandorten (Berlin, Bochum, Freiburg, Hannover, Kassel, Ludwigsburg, Moritzburg, Nürnberg) befragt. 221 von insgesamt 250 Studierenden im ersten Fachsemester beteiligten sich daran (88,4%).

description:
Anthropogenic threat maps are commonly used as a surrogate for the ecological integrity of rivers in freshwater conservation, but a clearer understanding of their relationships is required to develop proper management plans at large scales. Here, we developed and validated empirical models that link the ecological integrity of rivers to threat maps in a large, heterogeneous and biodiverse Andean-Amazon watershed. Through fieldwork, we recorded data on aquatic invertebrate community composition, habitat quality, and physical-chemical parameters to calculate the ecological integrity of 140 streams/rivers across the basin. Simultaneously, we generated maps that describe the location, extent, and magnitude of impact of nine anthropogenic threats to freshwater systems in the basin. Through seven-fold cross-validation procedure, we found that regression models based on anthropogenic threats alone have limited power for predicting the ecological integrity of rivers. However, the prediction accuracy improved when environmental predictors (slope and elevation) were included, and more so when the predictions were carried out at a coarser scale, such as microbasins. Moreover, anthropogenic threats that amplify the incidence of other pressures (roads, human settlements and oil activities) are the most relevant predictors of ecological integrity. We concluded that threat maps can offer an overall picture of the ecological integrity pattern of the basin, becoming a useful tool for broad-scale conservation planning for freshwater ecosystems. While it is always advisable to have finer scale in situ measurements of ecological integrity, our study shows that threat maps provide fast and cost-effective results, which so often are needed for pressing management and conservation actions.

Es erfolgte eine Untersuchung hinsichtlich der mittleren Einstellungswahrscheinlichkeit. Dazu wurden eine fiktive Stellenanzeige und Bewerbungsunterlagen erstellt. Diese unterscheiden sich lediglich in den Namen der Bewerber, welche verschiedenen Nationalitäten zuzuordnen sind. Anschließend sollten Studierende der Hochschule Hannover anhand dieser Studienunterlagen beurteilen, mit welcher Wahrscheinlichkeit sie den Bewerber einstellen würden. Die Analyse der Ergebnisse ergab, dass sich der Mittelwert der Einstellungswahrscheinlichkeit nicht signifikant unterschied. Somit konnte keine Benachteiligung der Hochschulabsolventen mit Migrationshintergrund im Vergleich zu denjenigen ohne Migrationshintergrund durch Studierende der Hochschule Hannover festgestellt werden.
description: This paper deals with the question if college alumni with a migration background experience a higher level of discrimination than alumni without a migration background in a fictitious job application process. The average probability of employment was analyzed. Therefore a fictitious employment ad and job application papers was created. These papers only differ in the names of the applicant, which are from different foreign countries. Afterwards students from the Hochschule Hannover rated these job applications and assignment a probability score to each of the applications of how likely they would accept the applicant for a job offer. The results showed that the mean value was not significantly different. No discrimination by students at the Hochschule Hannover could be identified between both groups.

Now, while China's problems remain unsettled, the Japanese economy at long last seems to have bottomed out, although its upturn is expected to be moderate. Since spring of this year there have been a number of positive signs emerging in the Japanese economy, particularly in connection with public expenditure, housing investment, and personal consumption."

description: A large fraction of the information collected by cosmological surveys is simply discarded to avoid lengthscales which are difficult to model theoretically. We introduce a new technique which enables the extraction of useful information from the bispectrum of galaxies well beyond the conventional limits of perturbation theory. Our results strongly suggest that this method increases the range of scales where the relation between the bispectrum and power spectrum in tree-level perturbation theory may be applied, from k_max ~ 0.1 h/Mpc to ~ 0.7 h/Mpc. This leads to correspondingly large improvements in the determination of galaxy bias. Since the clipped matter power spectrum closely follows the linear power spectrum, there is the potential to use this technique to probe the growth rate of linear perturbations and confront theories of modified gravity with observation.

Mit der Neufassung des § 24 Abs. 2 SGB VIII zum 1. August 2013 besteht für alle Kinder ab dem 2. Lebensjahr ein Rechtsanspruch auf individuelle Förderung. Der erwarteten wachsenden Nachfrage nach Plätzen für Kinder unter 3 Jahren soll neben dem Krippenausbau auch mit einem Ausbau der Kindertagespflege, in Niedersachsen besonders auch der Großtagespflege, begegnet werden. Großtagespflegestellen sind rechtlich ein gleichwertiges Angebot zur Krippe. Die vorliegende Untersuchung in Niedersachsen geht zum einen der Frage nach, ob die Qualität der pädagogischen Arbeit in den Großtagespflegestellen diesem Anspruch genügen kann. Mit der TAS-R, einem Beobachtungs- und Bewertungsverfahren werden ausgewählte Großtagespflegestellen beurteilt und mit strukturierten Interviews zu ihrer Arbeit befragt. Zudem wird die telefonische und schriftliche Befragung aller Jugendämter Niedersachsens zur Organisation der Fachberatung sowie zur Struktur der finanziellen und fachlichen Unterstützung der Großtagespflegestellen vor Ort vorgestellt. Die Ergebnisse und Empfehlungen für die Verantwortlichen verweisen auf Handlungsbedarf.
Modelling SOFC-GT hybrid systems with CO2 capture

description: Bibliography: p. 113-120
description: The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of C02-capture technologies in a hybrid solid oxide fuel cell gas turbine (SOFC-GT) system. Hybrid systems provide an opportunity for C02 capture with lower energy penalties to the system than current capture techniques used in industry. In this study, process simulation software is used to model the hybrid system. A zero-order fuel cell model is used to approximate SOFC performance in the system. A water-gas shift membrane reactor and a series of SOFC afterburners are modelled as capture techniques and integrated into the hybrid system. A set of metrics has been determined in order to evaluate the systems with C02-capture techniques as a whole and make recommendations for future power generation projects. The series of three SOFC afterburners is the best option modelled in terms of C02 capture, capture stream concentration and overall system efficiency.

The characterization of atm-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans
Creators: name: Huang, Chin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Loss of function of ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia, mutated) was discovered to be the genetic cause of the human disorder Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T). A-T is a rare, autosomal recessive human disorder that presents with multiple symptoms, including ataxia, telangiectasia, neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, radiosensitivity, genomic instability, and a predisposition to developing cancer. The predicted ATM orthologue in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is the gene atm-1. C. elegans is a model system that is easily amendable to molecular and genetic research. In this thesis, I have characterized the structure of atm-1 and examined its mutant phenotype. The predicted gene model for atm-1 was smaller than known orthologues. Using cDNA analysis and sequencing, I have shown that the three gene predictions atm-1, K10E9.1, and F56C11.4 make up the complete coding region. I observed differences from the original prediction including unpredicted splice sites and exonic sequences. A single atm-1 mutant allele, gk186, exists. I have shown that the gk186 deletion produces two alternative transcripts, one of which retains the protein kinase domain. Thus, in contrast to previous expectations that this mutation generated a loss of function phenotype, it is likely that it produces a protein with kinase function. The phenotype of the mutant is radiation sensitivity, as expected, but is not as sensitive as brd-1, another loss of function mutant in the same double strand break repair pathway. This result is consistent with partial function retention of atm-1. In addition, mutant atm-1 showed chromosomal instability in X-chromosome loss and subsequent sterility. Some of the mutational events were captured as lethals using the eT1 balancer system documenting a mutator phenotype of atm-1. Characterization of atm-1 gene function in C. elegans may provide additional information about its function in other organisms including humans.

We call it the quantum open-closed homotopy algebra (QOCHA) which is the generalization of the open-closed homotopy algebra (OCHA) of Kajiura and Stasheff. The homotopy formulation reveals new insights about deformations of open string field theory by closed string backgrounds. In particular, deformations by Maurer Cartan elements of the quantum closed homotopy algebra define consistent quantum open string field theories.

Globalization' and Vertical Structure
Creators: name: McLaren, John
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1996
Subjects: Economics

description: This paper analyzes the effects of international openness on vertical integration decisions. A simple model is presented to represent the asset specificity problem at the heart of many industrial organization economists’ analysis of vertical integration. It suggests that there is a kind of negative externality conferred by each vertical integration, by ‘thinning’ the market for inputs and thus worsening opportunism problems; thus, in equilibrium there tends to be too much of it. Further, vertical integration features a kind of strategic complementarity, which can lead to multiple equilibria in the outsourcing decision, thus providing a theory of different ‘industrial systems’ or ‘industrial cultures’ in ex ante identical countries. In addition, the country that gets stuck in a highly vertically integrated equilibrium suffers from lower efficiency. Greater international openness forces convergence in the degree of outsourcing across countries, and facilitates leaner, less integrated firms, thus providing a channel for welfare improvements from international openness that appears to be quite different from those that are familiar from the trade theory literature. This may be taken as one theory of ‘outsourcing,’ ‘downsizing’ and ‘Japanization’ as consequences of ‘globalization.’
Japanese banking in the United States: From transient advantage to strategic failure

description: Japanese banks instantly became major players in world financial markets when the 1985 Plaza Accord doubled the value of the yen. Access to cheap capital and long-term relationships with Japanese firms doing business abroad allowed them to undercut overseas rivals and achieve early success. However this quick-term overseas strategy lacked a defined long-term outlook. Based upon the author's interviews with 61 Japanese bankers, this paper examines the failure of Japanese banks to create and sustain competitive advantage. Their lack of "soft" resources, such as international experience, knowledge about local markets, and management expertise, have all contributed to their recent retreat.

Characterization of the Dicistroviridae intergenic region internal ribosome entry site
Creators: name: Jang, Christopher
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The IRES found in the intergenic (IGR) region of viruses belonging to the Dicistroviridae family is remarkable for its ability to bind directly to the ribosome with high affinity and initiate translation without the requirement for any initiation factors by mimicking a P/E hybrid tRNA. Here, we have conducted an in-depth biochemical characterization of the CrPV IGR IRES. We have found that the L1.1 region of the IRES is responsible for 80S assembly and reading frame maintenance, and may play an additional role downstream of ribosome binding. Additional studies on the modularity of the IRES showed that the two domains of the IGR IRES work independently, but in concert with one another to manipulate the ribosome. We then addressed the question of how the IGR IRES recruits ribosomes during periods of cellular stress, when inactive 80S couples accumulate in the cell. Here, we found that the IRES is able to bind directly to eEF2-associated 80S couples, providing a rationale as to how the IRES remains translated during these periods. Finally, we developed a new in vitro translation system to assess the functionality of specialized ribosomes, and used this system and the IGR IRES in order to ask questions about the pathology of dyskeratosis congenita. Though divergent from other viral IRESs, the simplicity of this tRNA-like IRES serves as a powerful model for understanding IRES functions in general, the role of tRNA/ribosome interactions that occur normally during translation, and how these processes are linked to the greater context of the cell.
Transfers from Migrants to Their Children: Evidence That Altruism and Cultural Factors Matter

description: This paper focuses on the determinants of financial inter vivos transfers by migrants living in France in 2003 to their adult children. From a theoretical viewpoint, such transfers may be explained either by altruism or by exchange. While parents would direct their assistance to their less well off children under altruism, support should be channeled to children who live nearby their parents under the exchange motive. We assess the relevance of these two motives using the French PRI survey. Unequal sharing is frequently observed and children are more likely to receive financial transfers when they are in poor circumstance, but not necessarily when living in proximity to parents. We also emphasize the role of cultural factors as determinants of the parental allocation among children. Muslim parents, in particular, are more likely to make transfers to sons than to daughters.

description: The presence of venture capital in the ownership structure of U.S. firms going public has been associated with both improved long-term performance and lower underpricing at the time of the IPOs. In Japan, we find the long-run performance of venture capital-backed IPOs to be no better than that of other IPOs, with the exception of firms backed by foreign-owned or independent venture capitalists. Many of the major venture capital firms in Japan are subsidiaries of securities firms that may face a conflict of interest when underwriting the venture capital-backed issue. When venture capital holdings are broken down by their institutional affiliation, we find that firms with venture backing from securities company subsidiaries do not perform significantly worse over a three-year time horizon than other IPOs. On the other hand, we find that IPOs in which the lead venture capitalist is also the lead underwriter have higher initial returns than other venture capital-backed IPOs. The latter result suggests that conflicts of interest influence the initial pricing, but not the long-term performance, of initial public offerings in Japan.

description: We investigate five-dimensional vacuum solutions which represent rotating multi-black holes in asymptotically Kaluza-Klein spacetimes. We show that multi-black holes rotate maximally along extra dimension, and stationary configurations in vacuum are achieved by the balance of the gravitational attraction force and repulsive force caused by the rotations of black holes. We also show that each black hole can have the different topology of the lens space in addition to the spherical topology, and mass of black holes are quantized by the size of extra dimension and horizon topology.

Chastomera longipalpis — Mamaev 1964: 902, fig. 3b. Haplusia longipalpis — Gagné 1978: 518.
Mamaev (1964) described the female of G. longipalpis as having four palpal segments, the necks and nodes of the medial flagellomeres equally long, and no sclerotized spermathecae. The only other European Gynapteromyia with occasionally four palpus segments is G. brevipalpis (see Fig. 4C), but females of that species were described as having very short flagellomere necks and two sclerotized spermathecae (Mamaev 1964, Spungis 1985).

description: Angesichts der tiefgreifenden Veränderungen in der Medienbranche (z. B. Digitalisierung, Konvergenz) müssen Medienunternehmen gemeinsam mit externen Partnern innovative Geschäftsmodelle vorantreiben. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Bedeutung der Beziehungsqualität und der Nutzung von Steuerungsmechanismen für den Erfolg unternehmensübergreifender Geschäftsmodellinnovationen. Anhand eines Datensatzes von 198 Medienunternehmen weisen wir einen positiven Zusammenhang zwischen der Beziehungsintensität und der Umsetzung von Geschäftsmodellinnovationen nach. Dieser Zusammenhang wird durch ein starkes Vertrauen und detaillierte formelle Verträge zwischen den Partnern zusätzlich gefördert. Daraus lässt sich ableiten, wie Medienunternehmen Partnerschaften im Kontext von Business-Model-Innovationen effektiv gestalten können.

A Topological Invariant for Competitive Markets
Creators: name: Chichilnisky, Graciela
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1996
Subjects: Economics

description: I summarize and extend my results establishing that limited arbitrage is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a competitive equilibrium and for the compactness of the Pareto frontier [11] (announced in [14] and [8]). In response to a comment [36], I show that the authors misunderstood my results by focusing on brief announcements [14] and [8] which did not detail the hypothesis, rather than on the publication which contains the proofs [11]. The original results are extended here to encompass "mixed economies" based on [16]. They are used to define a topological invariant for a competitive market, which encodes exact information on its equilibria and on its social diversity, and predicts a failure of 'effective' demand.
Food retailing: Ito-Yokado Group: Gaining and sustaining long-term advantage through information technology

description: Information technology (IT) enables food retailers to respond more effectively to fluctuating consumer demand caused by changing demographics and taste. One particularly important result is to reduce inventory costs dramatically. Such progress motivates retailers and suppliers to form strategic alliances in order to realize more profit from introducing new IT systems. Together with the introduction of such IT systems, however, it is also critical to establish a well-functioning delivery system between retail stores and suppliers is also critical if both retailers and suppliers are to actually achieve lower inventories. Such a delivery system needs to be very well managed in terms of ordering and stocking all merchandise on an item by item basis. In other words, the IT system by itself will not return real benefits to both parties without a good physical delivery system. The following cases for leading Japanese and U.S. retailers prove this point. This type of strategic alliance inevitably causes some "lock-in" effects that create potential conflicts among the parties. This is especially true if the retailers aggressively pursue a higher level of sales by introducing Private Brand (PB) merchandise because they are not fully satisfied with the performance of Nationally Branded (NB) merchandise. Therefore, good incentive reward systems, supporting supplier's merchandise under certain market conditions, are needed for both parties to continue the strategic alliance. Since E-commerce should flourish across the world in the 21st century, the effect of E-commerce on food retailing is also discussed, though it is expected that its penetration of food sales will be slower than in other sectors.
Japanese banks in transition: Problems and prospects

description: "The Center on Japanese Economy and Business of Columbia Business School honors me by inviting me to share my thoughts and experiences on the banking industry in general, and more specifically on Japanese banks — their problems and prospects. My comments are based on my experiences as president and chief executive officer of Sanwa Bank California in Los Angeles from 1992 to 1994, and now at Sanwa Bank's American flagship, the New York Branch. The nature of banking is quite different in Los Angeles and New York. However, my experience as a bank executive in two of America's largest cities has left me with three valuable insights."
Corporate investment in Japan: How important are the financial factors?

description: This paper tries to answer the question: how important are the financial factors in two declines of corporate investment in the 1990's in Japan? We find (1) in 1992-1994 the financial factor, specifically an increase in call rate during 1989-91, partly contributed to the decline of investment especially indirectly through the real factor, but it was not a dominant factor; and (2) in 1998-1999 credit crunch which is induced by the so-called banking crisis played a significant role in the decline of investment directly and indirectly. Eliminating this shock leads the corporate investment to positive growth from negative 7-8% growth, and (3) incorporating interaction between financial factors and real factors (financial accelerator effect) greatly increases the estimate of financial factor effect. In other words, considering only direct effect may lead to a significant underestimate of financial factor effect.

Fig. 7A–C
Diagnosis. This is the only species of Gynapteromyia with completely unsetose wing membrane. Male genitalic characters specific to G. novaezealandiae are as follows (Fig. A). The tegmen apex, which is broader than in most of the congeneric species, has slightly protruding corners (↓); the angulated protrusions of the medial gonocoxal bridges bear sparse ordinary setae and microtrichia (↓); the ventral gonocoxal emargination is shorter than usual; and the gonostylus is parallel-sided, very slightly bent inwards apically (↓), and equipped with a blunt-ended, normal-sized tooth. Females are unknown.
Other male characters. Body length 1.2–1.3 mm. Head. Genal setae 6. Eye bridge without ommatidia dorsally. Scape with 2–3 setae. Neck of fourth flagellomere (Fig. C) 1.5 times longer than node; node with sparse crenulate whorl medially, microtrichia only basally. Palpus (Fig. B) clearly shorter than head height, 3 segments, first and second segments with hair-shaped translucent sensilla, apical segment unsetose. Wing length / width 3.0. Narrow portion of wing base conspicuously long. Vein btv without setae. CuA without setae, fading out before wing margin. Genitalia (Fig. A). Gonocoxae: ventral bridge without setae medially and basally; anterior processes of apodemes about as long as distance separating them. Gonostylus twice as long as wide. Parameral apodemes small.
Etymology. The species epithet refers to occurrence of this species in New Zealand.
Type material. Holotype. Male, New Zealand, South Island, Buller, Lake Rotoroa, mixed podocarp / southern beech forest, 540 m, 27 Dec. 2000, Malaise trap (#4), Department of Conservation St. Arnaud (in NZAC). Paratype. Male, same data as the holotype (in NZAC).

description: In this paper, the properties of Cd(106-122)isotopes are considered in the U(5)-SO(6)transitional region of IBM1. With employing a transitional Hamiltonian which is based on affine SU(1,1)Lie Algebraic technique, the energy levels and B(E2)transition rates are calculated. The results are compared with the most recent experimental values where an acceptable degree of agreement is achieved. Also, the energy ratios, control parameters and empirical two neutron separation energies suggest spherical to gamma soft shape transitions in these nuclei where the Cd (114,122)nuclei are considered as the best candidates for the E(5)critical symmetry.
