description: FEEDING BEHAVIOUR OF ERIOPHYID MITES

Some observations are reported on the feeding behaviour of Diptacus hederiphagus Nuz. and Platyphytoptus sabinianae K. by stereo microscope, and of Eriophyes canestrini Nal. and D. hederiphagus Nuz. by scan electron microscope.

During feeding, ali the palpai segments of these species (Eriophyidae and Rhyncaphytoptidae) apply telescopic principle, independently of the rostral size, in directing the cheliceral stylets to the food surface. The immersion of the chelicera into the plant tissues are preceded by opistosoma arching and anal sucker anchoring on the leaf surface. Afterwards the proximal element (motivator) of the chelicera shows rhythmical pulsations, and the anterior part of the opistosoma becomes apparently depressed. The opistosoma my be elevated on the surface during feeding by the help of its long ventral setae.

A sudden extraction of the chelicera from the leaf tissues point out the meal end. Sometimes, after feeding, these Eriophyids stand up on the anal sucker and on the ventral setae and so they can stay almost in vertical position.

Sono riportate osservazioni sul modo di alimentarsi di alcuni Acari Eriofìdi (Platyphytoptus sabinianae K., Eriophyes canestrini Nal. e Diptacus hederiphagus Nuz.). Le specie prese in considerazione, ed appartenenti rispettivamente le prime due alla Fam. degli Eriophyidae e la terza alla Fam. dei Rhyncaphytoptidae, per estroflettere i cheliceri stilettiformi, effettuano una retrazione telescopica dei singoli articoli pedipalpali compreso l'articolo prossimale al di sotto dello scudo dorsale. La penetrazione dei cheliceri nei tessuti vegetali e la successiva estrazione è favorita dalla posizione assunta in questo momento dall'Acaro il quale inarca il corpo e fa leva sui lobi anali.

description: AN ANATOMICAL PECULIARITY OF FEMALE GENITALIA DETECTED IN SOME ALEOCHARINAE (COLEOPTERA STAPHYLINIDAE)

Peculiarity refers to the lack of the lateral oviducts: this causes all ovarioles to be directly connected with a large median oviduct; it has been detected in Drusilla italica (Bernhauer) and further 9 species included into the genera Alianta, Atheta, Caloderina, Cordalia, Thecturota, Trichiusa e Xenusa. In author’s view, this type of genitalia is adapted to produce very large eggs, as D. italica ascertainly does. Iconography includes further 2 species of Aleocharinae in the genera Aleochara and Cypha, where lateral oviducts aren’t lacking.

Key words: ovaries, oviducts, adaptation.

La peculiarità si riferisce all’assenza di ovari distinti, come conseguenza dell’obliterazione degli ovidotti laterali; essa è stata riscontrata in Drusilla italica (Bernhauer) e in altre 9 specie della subf. Aleocharinae. In base a precedenti conoscenze sul comportamento riproduttivo di D. italica, l’autore intravede un adattamento alla produzione di grandi uova. Per confronto, viene illustrato l’apparato genitale femminile di altre due specie della subf. Aleocharinae, nelle quali esiste la tipica separazione fra i due ovari.

Parole chiave: ovari, ovidotti, adattamento.

title: A contrastive study of the Tonga and English phonological systems in relation to the spoken performance of selected groups of Tonga speakers.
Creators: name: Mudzi, Alice K. M.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1981

description: A number of books on English phonetics for foreign students have been written, equally a number of studies on the sound systems of the Bantu Languages of Zambia have been undertaken, but so far no systematic contrastive study of any specific Bantu Language of Zambia and English, has been undertaken in a community where both English and the Bantu languages play such an important role in the lives of the people. Of particular importance is the use made of English as a medium of instruction in schools, and the fact that the future of every Zambian child lies largely in his performance in the English language both in the written and spoken aspect of it. This work is an attempt to study the spoken performance in the English language of Tonga speaking children at two different stages of their education using a contrastive study of the sound systems of the two languages as a basis. The study aims at finding out firstly, how far the spoken performance of the Tonga children diverges from that of standard English, and whether the diyergencies can be explained in any way by what happens in the two languages. One aspect which this study proposes to deal with, which has not been attempted so far by anyone, is an analysis of Tonga children's performance in English stress and intonation.
Aspetti morfologici della spermateca in Diestota guadalupensis Pace e altre Aleocharinae (Coleoptera Staphylinidae)

description: MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE SPERMATHECA OBSERVED IN DIESTOTA GUADALUPENSIS PACE AND OTHER ALEOCHARINAE (COLEOPTERA STAPHYLINIDAE)

A preliminary analyse has been carried out on fresh specimens (18 species) and then discussed by considering several data from the literature. Receptacle of Aleocharinae exhibits several adaptive features, as it can be: (a) enlarged at apex or otherwise shaped to support the compressor muscle; (b) provided with sclerites and internal crests, which seemingly improve its elastic properties; (c) provided with a perforate septum, which canalises the sperm flow. Duct is sometime adapted for mating, as its length agrees with that of the endophallus.

Besides its evident adaptations, receptacle of the Aleocharinae can exhibit a very long pipe-like basal part, which seems to be lacking in any function. This part can be either irregularly convoluted or arranged as a hank; it reaches an extreme morphological complexity when includes two coaxial helices. These are: (a) adjacent one to the other in Myllaena nemorivaga Assing from Turkey, (b) included one into the other in the exotic species from the Antilles, Diestota guadalupensis Pace.

Key words: receptacle, duct, adaptations, helical tract.

Viene analizzata e discussa la variabilità interspecifica della spermateca nelle Aleocharinae. Sono state esaminate 18 specie su preparati a fresco e sono stati utilizzati i numerosi dati disponibili in letteratura. Il ricettacolo ha una forma variamente adattata per sostenere il muscolo compressore; inoltre, presenta inspessimenti e sclerotizzazioni che probabilmente ne incrementano l’elasticità; talvolta, è munito di un setto trasversale, che orienta il flusso degli spermatozoi. Nel dotto, la lunghezza è talvolta adattata ai fini della copula perché congruente con quella dell’endofallo.

Spesso, il ricettacolo ha una parte basale lungamente tubuliforme, che costituisce grovigli, matasse o figure geometriche abbastanza regolari; al massimo della sua complessità morfologica, esso presenta due eliche coassiali, che possono essere disposte in due modi: (a) adiacenti l’una all’altra in Myllaena nemorivaga Assing della Turchia; (b) l’una dentro l’altra in Diestota guadalupensis Pace delle Antille. Secondo l’autore, questa complessità non è riferibile a nessuna esigenza funzionale della spermateca.

Parole-chiave: ricettacolo, dotto, adattamenti, parte elicoidale.

Valutazione in laboratorio del potenziale riproduttivo di Ptinella mekura Kubota (Coleoptera Ptiliidae)
Creators: name: De Marzo, Luigi

description: REPRODUCTIVE INTRINSIC RATE OF PTINELLA MEKURA KUBOTA EVALUATED IN THE LABORATORY (COLEOPTERA PTILIIDAE)

Although it exhibits a transcontinental distribution, P. mekura does occur elsewhere with isolated populations of wingless females. These features already known from the literature suggest that dispersion of this beetle is based on females accidentally transported by wind and water overflow. Therefore, a test was organised to evaluate how many adults can descend from single females within a few weeks; it was 120 days long and included 27 females. These were kept separately in jars, where a piece of Pleurotus mushroom was provided as alimentary source for adults and larvae. By enumerating adults in each jars every 15 day, maximum values were found ranging from 6 to 117 and did overcome 50 in most jars (20 out 27); more than 100 adults were observed in 6 jars, and the highest number (117) was detected at the 60th day. No winged adult was found throughout.

Results suggest that single females are able to populate new habitats very quickly. Besides its the obligate parthenogenesis, a very wide tolerance of the environmental conditions is a feature important to the invasive power of P. mekura. Moreover, apterism may affect the insular pattern of its distribution.

Key words: populating power, obligate parthenogenesis, habitat tolerance, constant apterism.

Con una prova di laboratorio della durata di 120 giorni, è stata quantificata la progenie derivante da singole femmine di Ptinella mekura Kubota. Queste sono state introdotte in una serie di terrarî, in presenza di un pezzo di carpoforo fungino, e hanno dato una progenie più o meno numerosa. Effettuando conteggi successivi sono stati trovati valori massimi di 6-117 adulti e superiori a 50 adulti nel 70% dei terrarî.

Riferiti all’ambiente naturale, i risultati della prova indicano che singole femmine di P. mekura possono popolare un nuovo ambiente con numerosi adulti nell’arco di poche settimane. Il tipo di distribuzione geografica della specie, che è allo stesso tempo transcontinentale e insulare, può essere attribuito ai seguenti parametri: (a) partenogenesi obbligata, (b) ampia tolleranza di differente condizioni microambientali, (c) atterismo costante.

Parole-chiave: velocità di colonizzazione, partenogenesi obbligata, tolleranza microambientale, atterismo costante.

title: Al-Khalil ibn Ahmad and the evolution of Arabic lexicography.
Creators: name: Darwish, A.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1955

description: This work consists of two volumes. The first deals with the development of Arabic lexicography. The second consists of extracts from the text of the earliest Arabic dictionary, i.e., al-'Ain by al-Khalil. PART I deals with the first stage in the development of Arabic lexicography, in which dictionaries were arranged in the "Anagrammatical" order. This order was founded by al-Khalil. The first chapter gives a biographical sketch of al-Klialil and discusses the plan of his dictionary. The second deals with lexicographers following al-Khalil's model in the East, and the third with those in the West. PART II deals with the second stage in Arabic lexicography, which is that of the "Qafiyah" order. These three chapters deal with the following topics: (1) Early works, (2) Late works, (3) Shidyaq's rebellion against that order. PART III deals with the third stage, in which dictionaries are arranged according to a "strict alphabetical" order. Its four chapters deal with the following headings respectively; (1) The vocabulary of the Quran and Hadith, (2) Early Works, (3) Late Works, (4) The attempt to compile a major Arabic lexicon. PART 17 deals with the text of al-'Ain. It has three chapters which deal with the following topics: (1) The controversy over the authorship of al-'Ain, (2) The question of the real author of that work, (3) Karmali and al-'Ain, and (4) The -process of editing al-'Ain, VOLUME II This volume comprises some sections chosen from al-'Ain to serve as a specimen of the text. As every letter of the alphabet is dealt with by al-Khalil under seven heads, we have selected sections from different parts of the book, each representing one such head. The sections selected are representative of the beginning, the middle and the end of the book to emphasise the structural unity of the text. These heads are: (1) Reduplicated bilateral words, (2) Trilateral words with three radical consonants, (3) Trilateral words with one weak letter, (4) Trilateral words with only one strong consonant, (5) (Quadrilateral words, (6) Quintiliteral words, and (7) Words containing no consonants as radicals, but only weak letters. There is no comprehensive account of the development of Arabic lexicography from its beginning to the present day, and it is hoped that this thesis will make a contribution to our knowledge of this important field of Arabic literature.

description: OVERWINTERING PEZOTHRIPS KELLYANUS (BAGNALL) FOUND ON VIBURNUM IN SOUTHERN ITALY (THYSANOPTERA THRIPIDAE)

Both adults and neanides of this and other thrips were collected from half-December to March-end in 3 suburban localities of Bari province (Apulia, southern Italy); they were selected in the laboratory from samples of Viburnum tinus L. inflorescences (Caprifoliaceae). Second-instar neanides were identified from adults emerged in jars. P. kellyanus first-instar neanides were obtained from eggs discharged in tubes with jasmine leaves by females collected in February. Taxonomical directions are given to separate neanides of P. kellyanus from those of other 3 species occurring on flowering Viburnum as well: Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouché), Thrips major Uzel and T. tabaci Lindeman. The comparative study includes also the neanides of Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), as this thrips does usually occur in Citrus plantations of southern Italy together with P. kellyanus.

Key words: neanides, identification, Viburnum tinus L.

Viene segnalata la presenza invernale del terebrante Pezothrips kellyanus (Bagnall) sulle infiorescenze del viburno, Viburnum tinus L. (Caprifoliaceae), di siepi ornamentali in ambiente periurbano. Questa pianta risulta in grado di ospitare femmine svernanti del tripide e di sostentare la proliferazione delle sue neanidi in pieno inverno, quando la maggior parte delle piante indicate come “ospiti reali” non sono in fase di fioritura. I dati sono stati ottenuti prelevando campioni di 50 infiorescenze, da metà-dicembre a fine-marzo in 3 località in provincia di Bari. I medesimi campioni hanno fornito adulti e neanidi di altre 3 specie di terebranti: Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouché), Thrips major Uzel, T. tabaci Lindeman.

Dal punto di vista morfologico, le neanidi di P. kellyanus risultano ben caratterizzate dalla struttura del pettine dell’urotergite IX. L’autore ritiene che caratteristica possa tornare utile per il monitoraggio delle infestazioni di tripidi negli agrumeti. Infatti, essa consente di distinguerle dalle neanidi, di habitus simile e ugualmente comuni sugli agrumi, di Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande).

description: BUILDING OF THE PUPAL CELL AND COCOON IN COLEOPTERA: SOME ETHOLOGICAL DETAILS (POLYPHAGA: 7 FAMILIES)

Details were observed in the laboratory on larvae of Ochthebius impressipennis (Hydraenidae), Ptinella aptera (Guérin-Méneville) (Ptiliidae), Anemadus acicularis (Kraatz) (Cholevidae), Mastigus pilifer (Scydmaenidae), Micropeplus fulvus Erichson (Micropeplidae), Cafius xantholoma (Gravenhorst), Megalinus glabratus (Gravenhorst) (Staphylinidae-Staphylininae), Atheta aeneicollis (Sharp), Cordalia obscura (Gravenhorst) (Staphylinidae-Aleocharinae), Omonadus bifasciatus (Rossi), O. floralis (Linné) (Anthicidae). According to species, pupal cell is sometimes built at the end of a deep gallery; otherwise, it is assembled at the surface by using: (a) rough soil particles; (b) selected soil particles; (c) soil portions ingested and regurgitated. Main behavioural particularities were detected in larvae of Ochthebius impressipennis, which build a unique double cell, and in larvae of Micropeplus fulvus, which do regurgitate very small portions at a time. Organs engaged in cell building are: mandibles, preoral chamber, foregut, legs. Cocoon spinning organs can be: mouth parts, legs, a comb of abdominal setae, paired glandular tubercles of abdomen, pygopodium. Examined larvae of Aleocharinae spin silk by pygopodium as other of the same subfamily do; they are provided with an equipment of metameric glandular pores, which may be possible source of the silk secretion as in the larvae of certain Pselaphidae.

Contribution is dedicated to the memory of the clever entomologist, Giorgio Fiori (1923-1983). Key words: soil management, spinning organs, silk glands.

Sulla base di osservazioni in terrario viene illustrato il comportamento di larve di Hydraenidae, Ptiliidae, Cholevidae, Micropeplidae, Staphylinidae e Anthicidae. Le novità più rilevanti riguardano le larve di

Ochthebius impressipennis (Hydraenidae), che usano fabbricare una doppia cella, e quelle di Micropeplus fulvus (Micropeplidae), che usano ingerire il terriccio e rigurgitarlo in porzioni successive molto piccole. Secondo la specie, gli organi impegnati per la costruzione della cella sono: mandibole, camera preorale, intestino anteriore e zampe. I possibili organi per la tessitura della seta sono: appendici boccali, zampe, apposite filiere addominali, urogonfi. Nel caso delle larve della subf. Aleocharinae, la fonte del secreto sericiparo è inaccertata; presumibilmente, essa consiste in una serie metamerica di ghiandole unicellulari del torace e dell’addome, come accertato in precedenza nelle larve di alcuni pselafidi.

La nota è dedicata alla memoria del Prof. Giorgio Fiori (1923-1983), a 25 anni dalla scomparsa. Parole chiave: sistemazione del terriccio, organi di filatura, ghiandole della seta.

description: Next generation mobile networks are poised to transition from monolithic structures owned and operated by single mobile network operators into multi-stakeholder networks where various parties contribute with infrastructure, resources, and services. However, a federation of networks and services brings along a crucial challenge: Guaranteeing secure and trustworthy access control among network entities of different administrative domains. This paper introduces a novel technical concept and a prototype, outlining and implementing a 5G Service-Based Architecture that utilizes Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials instead of traditional X.509 certificates and OAuth2.0 access tokens to authenticate and authorize network functions among each other across administrative domains. This decentralized approach to identity and permission management for network functions reduces the risk of single points of failure associated with centralized public key infrastructures. It unifies access control mechanisms and lays the groundwork for lesser complex and more trustful cross-domain key management for highly collaborative network functions in a multi-party Service-Based Architecture of 6G.

description: INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT DIETS ON SITOPHILUS GRANARIUS (L.) AND S. ORYZAE (L.). I. OVIPOSITION

The oviposition of Sitophilus granarius and S. oryzae was studied, at the same conditions of light, T and RH, on cereal stored grains (wheat, barley, pop-corn and yellow dent corn) and alimentary pasta (pasta containing eggs, maize pasta, brown pasta, two short shape durum wheat pasta and one long shape of the kind “Bigoli”). The total number of laid eggs and the fecundity evolution were recorded allowing to establish what sort of cereal grains and pasta is the most open to S. granarius and S. oryzae attack. For both species wheat, barley and pasta containing eggs were the most preferred for oviposition, while the pasta “Bigoli” was the less. S. oryzae has laid eggs into all the substrates, mainly pasta, more than S. granarius.

Key words: seeds, pasta, grain weevil, rice weevil, reproduction.

A parità di condizioni di T, luce e Ur è stata studiata l’ovideposizione di S. granarius e di S. oryzae su cereali (grano tenero, orzo decorticato, mais vitreo da pop-corn e mais dentato giallo) e paste alimentari (pasta all’uovo, pasta di mais, pasta integrale, due paste corte di semola di grano duro non integrali e una pasta di semolato di grano duro tipo “Bigoli”) rilevando il numero totale di uova deposte e l’andamento dell’ovideposizione delle femmine. Per entrambe le specie, grano, orzo e pasta all’uovo sono risultati i substrati maggiormente preferiti per ovideporre, mentre la pasta tipo “Bigoli” si è rivelata la meno adatta. S. oryzae ha deposto su tutti i substrati considerati, soprattutto sulle paste, con maggior facilità rispetto a S. granarius.

description: Purpose: Driven by the Lorentz force, acoustic noise may arguably be the next physiological challenge associated with ultra-high field MRI scanners and powerful gradient coils. This work consisted of isolating and mitigating the main sound source in the NexGen 7T scanner equipped with the investigational Impulse head gradient coil.

Methods: Sound pressure level (SPL) measurements were performed with and without the RF coil to assess its acoustic impact. Vibration measurements were carried out on the gradient coil, the RF coil and on the patient table to distinguish the different vibration mechanisms and pathways. Vibrations of the RF coil were modified by either making contact with the magnet bore liner with padding material or by changing directly the RF shield with phosphor bronze mesh material. 

Results: SPL and vibration measurements demonstrated that eddy-currents induced in the RF shield were the primary cause of acoustic noise. Replacing the conventional solid copper shield with phosphor bronze mesh material altered the vibrations of the RF shield and decreased SPL by 6-8 dB at the highest frequencies in EPI, depending on the gradient axis, while boosting the transmit B1+ field by 15%. Padding led to slightly less sound reduction on the X and Z gradient axes, but with minimal impact for the Y axis.

Conclusion: This study demonstrates the possible importance of eddy-current induced vibrations in the RF coil in terms of acoustic noise and opens new horizons for mitigation measures.

Keywords: Acoustic noise, eddy-currents, vibrations, RF shield
title: The development of Hindi prose literature in the early nineteenth century 1800-1856.
Creators: name: Vedalankar, Shardadevi
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1955

description: In the opening chapter an attempt is made to trace the development of Hindi prose from its earliest beginnings in Rajasthani and Brajbhasa, Khari Boli (Hindi) prose is shown as one of the dialects of Meerut and Delhi in North India. The shift of Hindi Literature from Rajasthan to BraJ Provinces and religious movements of the period, are also outlined, The second chapter traces the influence of Port William College and the impetus it gave, indirectly, to Hindi Prose writings. The work of the Protestant Missionaries in popularising Hindi as a part of their religious campaign, is analysed in chapter III. The recognition of Hindi as the medium of instruction is discussed in chapter IV together with the pioneering efforts of various individuals and organizations concerned in the vernacularisation of education. The fifth chapter recounts the story of early Hindi journalism. The last chapter Introduces five MSS. of Hindi prose from the Hodgson Collection described herein for the first time and throws new light on the extent of the Hindi area. The findings are summed up in the conclusion, which is followed by appendices on Regulation IX (1800), Grammars and Dictionaites, and a list of books published under the scheme of vernacularisation of education. The Bibliography lists the documents and publications consulted, comprising Govemment Records, Parliamentary Papers, Hindi MSS. Annual and Asiatic Registers, Journals, Memoirs and works on History and Literature.
title: Fukuzawa Yukichi: A study in the introduction of Western ideas into Japan in the Meiji period.
Creators: name: Blacker, Carmen
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1957

description: Fukuzawa Yukichi's writings have been treated in this study as exanples of the literature of the keimoo movenment - the movement which sought to 'enlighten the darkness' of the Japanese people by urging them to rethink, in the light of Western science, the whole of their traditional way of thought. Though the primary impetus behind the movement Was the need to understand Western science in order to make Japan strong enough to defend herself against the threat of Western aggression and exploitation, the keimoo writers quickly found that a prefer comprehension of science involved drastic changes in other branches of thought seemingly unrelated to science. Fukuzawa's plea that science should be regarded as the basic discipline in the new 'learning' led him to urge that this new learning, and the new view of the external world which it demanded, was incompatible with the old ideas of ethics, of history, of political theory and of international relations. He was hense led to try to give these sweeping changes a 'higher' justification than the mere need for a fukoku-kyoohei - a rich country and a strong army - by positing, with the aid of the Western theory of Progress as revealed in the works of Buckle, Guizot and Herbert Spencer, that increase in scientific knowledge would lead men up a ladder of progress whereby they would become contintiously more knowledgeable and virtuous until they eventually reached the very perfection of human nature. This perfection as described by Fukuzawa, however, was not unlike the perfection of the Neo-Confucians whose opinions Fukuzawa was so anxious to refute. Revered though Fukuzasra became in Japanese intellectual circles, his suggestions for new interpretations of the old virtues - a revised view of filial piety, of loyalty and of conjugal fidelity necessarily complementary, as he claimed, to science - were not destined to become orthodox opinion in Japan for the half-century after his death.

title: The role of tone in the structure of Sukuma.
Creators: name: Richardson, I.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1956

description: The demonstration of the role of tone in Sukima may best be effected by treating the subject as a problem which centres round the assigning to units of tonal characteristics from which may be inferred the tones heard in speech. Certain general features of tonal behaviour found in lexical and grammatical elements of both nominal and verbal words are outlined in the first chapter, which also indicates some of the basic principles of the method of analysis employed. Chapter II carries a stage further the discussion of problems of classification affecting the nominal which were introduced in Chapter I. Experimental tone groups are examined and discarded in favour of tone classes of a more specific nature. These in their turn are abandoned for a system of assigned tonal characteristics with no reference to definite tone classes. From these investigations are adduced rules of tonal behaviour which when applied to selected samples enable further deductions to be made about their tonal characteristics. Chapter III consists of an exposition of the tonal characteristics of verbal Constituents of all kinds, both grammatical and lexical. In it questions concerning the verbal already broached in Chapter I are discussed at length in an attempt to show the part played by each constituent in the aggregate tonal characteristic of a verbal. A similar function is performed for nominals and their constituents by Chapters IV and V, the former dealing with grammatical and the latter with lexical components. It can be concluded from this treatment that, once a correlation has been established between essential characteristics and the tones heard in speech, a large part of the tonal behaviour of the language can be reduced to regular though complex patterns.
Eriophyoid mites (Acari: Prostigmata: Eriophyoidea) from the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean): new reports and a preliminary check-list
Creators: name: Misfud, D.

Publisher: name: Entomologica
Year: 2016

description: In the 20th Century, about 20 species of eriophyoids were listed for the Maltese Islands but these reports were entirely based on plant gall surveys. In these last four years, plant collections were made in order to investigate the species of eriophyoids present in Malta and Gozo. Most of the earlier reports have been confirmed and eight species were found to be new for the Maltese islands: Aceria caulobia (Nalepa) gall- making on Suaeda vera Gmelin; Aceria onychia (Nalepa) on Phlomis fruticosa L.; Aceria sheldoni (Ewing) on lemon; Aculus tetanothrix (Nalepa) gall-making on Salix sp.; Cecidophyopsis hendersoni (Keifer) on yucca; and three species associated with olive, Ditrymacus athiasella Keifer, Oxycenus maxwelli (Keifer) and Tegolophus hassani (Keifer). Additional remarks were included for Acalitus phloeocoptes (Nalepa), collected on cherry plum, whose earlier Maltese record was doubtful. A complete morphometric description of Aceria carlinae (Nalepa) is here provided.

Key words: faunistic survey, eriophyoids, new records, Malta.

ACARI ERIOFIOIDEI (ACARI: PROSTIGMATA: ERIOPHYOIDEA) DELLE ISOLE MALTESI (MEDITERRANEO CENTRALE): NUOVE SEGNALAZIONI E CHECK-LIST PRELIMINARE

Circa 20 specie di eriofioidei sono state segnalate per le Isole Maltesi nel XX secolo a seguito di indagini svolte esclusivamente su piante che manifestavano sintomi evidenti. Negli ultimi quattro anni, sono state effettuate raccolte di campioni di piante al fine di disporre di una più ampia conoscenza degli eriofioidei presenti in Malta e Gozo. Molte delle prime segnalazioni sono state confermate e altre otto specie sono rinvenute per la prima volta: Aceria caulobia (Nalepa) galligeno su Suaeda vera Gmelin; Aceria onychia (Nalepa) su Phlomis fruticosa L.; Aceria sheldoni (Ewing) su limone; Aculus tetanothrix (Nalepa) galligeno su Salix sp.; Cecidophyopsis hendersoni (Keifer) su yucca; e tre specie associate all’olivo, Ditrymacus athiasella Keifer, Oxycenus maxwelli (Keifer) e Tegolophus hassani (Keifer).

Vengono fornite osservazioni aggiuntive per Acalitus phloeocoptes (Nalepa), raccolto su ciliegio selvatico, la cui segnalazione precedente era apparsa dubbio, e una descrizione morfometrica completa per Aceria carlinae (Nalepa).

description: THE NATURAL ENEMIES COMMUNITIES STRUCTURE OF THAUMETOPOEA PITYOCAMPA DENIS & SCHIFFERMÜLLER

(LEP., THAUMETOPOEIDAE) ON PINUS HALEPENSIS IN THE SUBSAHARAN ALGERIA

The host plants of the pine processionary caterpillars, Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Den. and Schiff.) (Lep., Thaumetopoeidae), are the Pinus and Cedrus. This study was carried out in the forest of Pinus halepensis Mill. in the subsaharian region where this insect pest was in a permanent presence. The structure of the natural enemies complex of this insect is analysed. Data on incidence of the various parasitoïds and predatory species are estimed. It appears that the majority of the entomophagous species attacking the pine processionary caterpillars were met in the studied area. It seems that the specific parasitoïds of different development stages, i.e. Baryscapus servadeii for eggs, Phryxe caudata, Erigorgus, femorator for the caterpillars, and, Villa brunnea for the pupae have a hight incidence in the regulation of the pine processionary caterpillars populations. It can exceed 80 % in certain pupae sites. However, in the subsaharian pine forest, predation by Scolopender was observed against the caterpillars in the pupal sites and hedgehog attacking the adults. These observations were not recorded in the other localities in the Mediterranean basin.

Key words: Lepidoptera, insect forest pest, parasitism, incidence, Mediterranean basin.

title: Indian theories of meaning in the Sanskrit grammarians and the philosophic schools.
Creators: name: Kunjunni Raja, Kumarapuram
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1954

description: In Indian thought we find two main approaches to the study of the problem of meaning. The Mimamseekas and the Naiyayikas consider the word as an autonomous unit of sense, and take the sentence as a colleotion of words. They face many problems that arise in such a naive attitude; what is the exact primary meaning of a word, how can words convey a syntactically related unified sense, what are the conditions of mutual relation of words in a sentence and what exactly is the nature of verbal comprehension. Different theories are enunciated to explain the problems. Mutual expectancy (akanksa), consistency (yogyata) and proximity (sannidhi) are considered as the conditions for syntactic relation. The importance of contextual factors and the speaker's intention is also fully appreciated. Acoording to the abhihitanvaya theory, first we remember the isolated word-meanings, and then a simultaneous collective memory gives us the same as mutually related. The anvitabhaidhana theory makes the words themselves convey the connected sentence-meaning gradually. The problem of the change of meaning is also studied and the conditions for a metaphorical transfer (laksana) discussed - mainly from a synchronistic point of view, Bhartrhari's theory of sphota asserts that the fundamental linguistic fact is the sentence considered as a single integral language-symbol. Words are mere abstractions made from the sentence by linguistic analysis, and have only a pragmatic value. The apoha theory of the Buddhists also considers the words to have no real substance. Anandavardhana includes in meaning the emotive elements and the 'social-cultural' significance of utterances which are suggested with the help of contextual factors, and advocates their importance in literature. The sphota theory gives a welcome corrective to the prevailing tendency of laying undue stress on words.

title: Problems of literary reform in modern China.
Creators: name: Chinnery, John D.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1955

description: The period following the fall of the Manchu dynasty in 1911 was one of rapid economic and social change in China. It created conditions favourable for the development of the New Culture Movement which started during the Great war, and reached its climax in 1919.Two of the basic features of this movement were the introduction of ideas from the West and the reassessment of Chinese traditions from the standpoint of those ideas. The Literary Revolution was an integral part of the New Culture Movement, which, after an initial period of discussion and debate, undertook the task of building a new Chinese literature with a new humanist or revolutionary content, and with forms copied from, or inspired by. Western literature. The problems which this task of construction involved were many and varied. During the next few years the literature of many periods and countries was introduced into China, and the new writers experimented with numerous forms. Ultimately, those which accorded most closely with the needs of Chinese literature, and especially with the social conditions and demands of the Chinese revolution, which had a determining influence on it, were successfully adopted, and fused with the Chinese tradition. The writer who best succeeded in mastering these problems of selection and synthesis was Lu Hsun, who, while benefiting from the example of Western writers, especially Russian, at the same time retained a Chinese character and style, not only through the subject matter of his work, but also from his knowledge and keen appreciation of old Chinese literature.
