Academic literature on the topic 'Merisota'

Reproductive biology, including mating behavior, ootheca deposition, ootheca rotation, and postembryonic development, were examined and described in a Japanese polyphagid, Eucorydia yasumatsui Asahina, 1971. E. yasumatsui lacks elaborate pre-copulation behaviors, in contrast to most cockroaches. On encountering a female, the male rushes to her, chases her, touching her with his antennae, and finally the pair initiates “tail-to-tail” copulation. The ootheca bears a well-developed, serrated keel along its dorsal median line and a flange on its anterior end, which is grasped with the female’s paraprocts while she carries the ootheca. The ootheca formed in the vestibulum emerges from her caudal end, with its keel upwards. Several hours later, she rotates the ootheca clockwise by 90°, viewed from the female’s side, into a horizontal position. After rotation, she carries the ootheca, maintaining this horizontal position for a few days, and then deposits it on the ground. The number of larval instars was 9 or 10 in females and 8 or 9 in males. Addition of annuli to the antennal flagellum occurs from the 2nd instar molting onwards, and annular division occurs both in the 1st annulus of the flagellum (meriston) and in the annulus following it (called “meristal annulus” from the 3rd instar on): one to several annuli from the former and a single annulus from the latter are added. Sexes can be distinguished from the 3rd instar on according to the changes of the postabdominal structures. Regarding exposed structures, in the female the posterior margin of abdominal coxosternum VIII becomes incised medially, the abdominal coxosterna VIII and IX retract, and the styli of segment IX disappear. The male does not undergo marked externally visible changes.

Virtuaaliteknologialla voidaan rakentaa museoon kokemus kadonneesta fyysisestä menneisyydestä ja antaa nykyihmisille mahdollisuus aistia kadonnutta historiaa ja kulttuuriperintöä. Teknologia tehostaa historiallisen kulttuuriperinnön ja siitä lähteiden varassa tehtyjen tulkintojen saavutettavuutta. Virtuaali­ historia eroaa kirjallisesta historiasta ja perinteisistä museotuotannoista erityisesti siinä, että virtuaali­ teknologialla toteutettu menneisyyden uudelleentulkinta vaatii tutkijoiden ja virtuaaliteknologian am­ mattilaisten saumatonta yhteistyötä. Merikeskus Vellamossa Kotkassa avautui kesällä 2020 näyttely Kohtalona Ruotsinsalmi, joka avaa Kustaan sodan (1788–1790) kulkua merellä ja seurauksia ranni­ kolla sekä esittää Ruotsinsalmen toisen meritaistelun monimediaisesti. Yksi näistä on peliteknologialla toteutettu Savua aalloilla ­elämys, jossa sodan päättänyt Ruotsinsalmen toinen meritaistelu tuodaan museokävijän nähtäville virtuaalisesti. Elämystä varten tehtiin merkittävä määrä historiantutkimusta, jotta saaristolaivastojen alukset ja miehistöt voitiin rakentaa digitaalisesti uudelleen tulkittuina. Täs­ sä katsauksessa esittelen Ruotsin ja Venäjän Itämerellä 1700­luvun lopussa toimineiden saaristo­ laivastojen alusten digitaalista mallintamista, siihen liittyviä tiedollisia ongelmia ja sitä käsittelevää virtuaalitodellisuushanketta.

Records are given for 29 species of Oidini, Galerucini, Metacyclini and Hylaspini from Pakistan, northern India, Nepal and Bhutan. Meristata quadrifasciata interrupta (Kollar & Redtenbacher) is considered subspecifically distinct, Galerucella placida Baly is considered separate from G. grisescens (Joann.), and the status of Nepalogaleruca elegans angustilineafa Kimoto & Takizawa is discussed.

In preparing a manual on the marine bivalves of the Panamic Province, we have found three species of the Tellinidae that lack names. The purpose of this paper is to describe a new species of Tellina (Hertellina), a new species of Tellina (Merisca), and a new species of Tellina (Acorylus). The subgenus Acorylus is reported for the first time from the eastern Pacific Ocean.

This paper examines Russia’s “next” generation and its expressions of anti-consu- merist protest, which stem from a fascination with the american beat Generation. Criticism of the consumerist lifestyle prompts the protagonists of bogatyreva’s prose to seek an alternative, especially through hitchhiking, which provides the opportunity to become closer to oneself and others. Communion with nature and a turn towards Eastern Mysticism become important elements of these new styles of existence. The nature of the rebellion of the “next” generation is primarily psy- chological, with an emphasis on expanding one’s own awareness, as well as social, underpinned by the dream of creating a society based on anti-capitalist ideals.

Based on captive breeding, the postembryonic development of the ground louse Zorotypus caudelli Karny, 1927 (Zoraptera, Zorotypidae) was examined and described in detail. The number of nymphal instars in Z. caudelli is five. During the second molt (2nd to 3rd instar), the number of antennomeres increases from eight to nine by subdivision of the basal flagellomere (meriston). Apterous and winged forms differentiate in the 4th nymphal instar. In the 4th instar of the winged form, small wing pads and small ocular spots appear. In the 5th instar, the wing pads elongate and the ocular spots are widened, and three ocelli are differentiated. Wing dimorphism may be a phenomenon independent of crowding. The two sexes closely resemble each other as in other zorapteran species, and sexual dimorphism does not appear until the final (5th) nymphal instar: in the 5th instar of males, setae increase in number on the 9th and 10 + 11th abdominal terga, and a small posteromedian swelling appears on the 10 + 11th abdominal tergum, the precursor of the mating hook. Key to nymphal instars of Zorotypus caudelli was given. The formation of thoracic pleural sclerites was examined and revaluated.

Eriocaulaceae é uma família de monocotiledôneas bastante representativa na flora brasileira. Estudos sobre a sua morfologia, anatomia e desenvolvimento florais têm tido um papel importante na resolução de questões taxonômicas e evolutivas. Paepalanthus, seu maior gênero, apresenta morfologia bastante complexa e suas relações infragenéricas ainda não são totalmente conhecidas. Neste trabalho são estudadas a anatomia e o desenvolvimento floral de oito espécies dímeras de Paepalanthus pertencentes aos diferentes clados em que essa característica ocorre, buscando maior conhecimento do gênero e das relações entre as espécies dos clados estudados: P. subg. Thelxinoë, P. sect. Conodiscus, P. sect. Diphyomene, P. sect. Eriocaulopsis e P. ser. Dimeri. O presente trabalho contribui ao encontrar caracteres anatômicos e ontogenéticos florais com valor taxonômico e que auxiliam na elucidação de relações evolutivas em Paepalanthus. Na flor estaminada, o verticilo externo de estaminódios, previamente relatado por diferentes autores, não se desenvolve e é corretamente descrito como a região apical das pétalas. As flores pistiladas desenvolvem ovário com uma porção sinascidiada proximal e uma pequena porção simplicada apical, descritas pela primeira vez em Eriocaulaceae. Também são descritos três padrões para o gineceu das espécies estudadas de Paepalanthus dímeros: a) gineceu com dois ramos nectaríferos e dois ramos estigmáticos livres (P. sect. Diphyomene, P. sect. Eriocaulopsis e P. ser. Dimeri); b) gineceu com dois ramos nectaríferos, mas com os ramos estigmáticos fusionados na flor madura até a altura dos estigmas (P. sect. Conodiscus); e c) gineceu em que os ramos nectaríferos não se desenvolvem e os ramos estigmáticos são fusionados (P. subg. Thelxinoë). A ocorrência de ramos nectaríferos e ramos estigmáticos livres pode ser uma sinapomorfia para o clado que compreende P. sect. Diphyomene, P. sect. Eriocaulopsis e P. ser. Dimeri. A presença de ramos estigmáticos fusionados corrobora a proximidade P. sect. Conodiscus e P. subg. Thelxinoë. Já a ausência de ramos nectaríferos pode ser considerada uma sinapomorfia de P. subg. Thelxinoë. Devido à homologia entre os pistilódios das flores estaminadas e os ramos nectaríferos das flores pistiladas, o desenvolvimento e a anatomia dessas estruturas são semelhantes e algumas características morfológicas e do revestimento se mostram diagnósticas para a diferenciação das espécies. Por sua vez, os tricomas encontrados nas peças florais estéreis das espécies estudadas também diferem entre as categorias infragenéricas e são importantes para distingui-las.
Eriocaulaceae is a well-represented monocot family in the Brazilian flora. Studies about its floral morphology, anatomy and development have played an important role in solving taxonomic and evolutionary problems within the family. Paepalanthus, the larger genus in Eriocaulaceae, has a very complex morphology, and its infrageneric relationships are not completely known so far. In this work, we studied the floral anatomy and development of eight species of Paepalanthus belonging to distinct clades in which the dimery occurs, in order to improve our knowledge about the genus and the relationships between the species of the studied clades: P. subg. Thelxinoë, P. sect. Conodiscus, P. sect. Diphyomene, P. sect. Eriocaulopsis, and P. ser. Dimeri. The present work contributes by finding floral anatomical and ontogenetical characters with taxonomic significance and also characters that help clarify the relationships in Paepalanthus. In the staminate flower, the outer whorl of staminodes, previously reported by different authors, does not grow and it is correctly described as the apical portion of petals. Pistillate flowers develop ovary with a proximal synascidiate portion and a short apical symplicate portion, reported for the first time in Eriocaulaceae. Furthermore, three patterns of gymnoecium are described for the studied species of dimerous Paepalanthus: a) gymnoecium with two nectariferous branches and two free stigmatic branches (P. sect. Diphyomene, P. sect. Eriocaulopsis e P. ser. Dimeri); b) gymnoecium with two nectariferous branches, and stigmatic branches fused up to the stigma level (P. sect. Conodiscus); and c) gymnoecium in which the nectariferous branches do not develop and the stigmatic branches are fused (P. subg. Thelxinoë). The occurrence of nectariferous branches and free stigmatic branches may be a synapomorphy of the clade that includes P. sect. Diphyomene, P. sect. Eriocaulopsis e P. ser. Dimeri. The occurrence of fused stigmatic branches supports the proximity between P. sect. Conodiscus e P. subg. Thelxinoë. Yet, the absence of nectariferous branches may be considered a synapomorphy of P. subg. Thelxinoë. Due to the homology between nectariferous pistillodes found in staminate flowers and nectariferous branches found in pistillate flowers, the development and anatomy of both structures are similar, and some morphological and epidermal features showed diagnostic for the distinction of the species. Moreover, trichomes were found in sterile floral structures of the studied species. They also differ among the infrageneric categories and are important to distinguish them.

Ozone was evaluated for the removal of phenolic compounds in wastewater from the Merisol Plant. Oxidation was conducted under both acidic (pH = 4.70) and basic (pH = 10.45) conditions. Phenol and acetic acid (as well as traces of formic, butyric and propionic acids) were identified as major components in the Merisol effluent. The results from the study have indicated that the phenol concentrations in the Merisol effluent were reduced from an average of 355 mg/L to below detectable levels within 60 min of oxidation period under both acidic and basic conditions. Furthermore, the effluent COD concentration was reduced from approximately 1200 mg/L to: 678 mg/L at 40 ppm O3; 590 mg/L at 80 ppm O3; and to 579 mg/L at 120 ppm O3 under acidic conditions. Under basic conditions, the effluent COD concentration was reduced to: 656 mg/L at 40 ppm O3; 510 mg/L at 80 ppm O3; and 397 mg/L at 120 ppm. These results were well below the required 1000 mg/L COD specification level. Moreover, the results also indicated that oxidation of the Merisol effluent sample under basic conditions yielded better results when compared to oxidation under the normal pH of the effluent (acidic).The degradation products of phenol ozone oxidation were identified as formic, butyric and propionic acids. These acids occurred in various proportions during the oxidation and were also removed during the process. In conclusion, ozone oxidation technology has proven to capably treat the Merisol effluent to the required specifications. This technology may be applied to increase the degree of compliance of the Merisol Plant and that of Sasol One with regard to the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) phenol specification under the discharge water licence conditions.

In the spring of 2007, English faculty members at the University of Guam began researching the need for online education options that could be offered by the University. With the support of other English faculty, Merissa Brown proposed, created, and implemented the first fully online composition class and taught it in the spring semester of 2008. Michelle Bednarzyk took over the class in the fall of 2008. This case will provide a history of the course’s development, insights from both instructors about the process of teaching this way within the diverse population that makes up the University’s student body, and offer suggestions they have for future successes based on challenges they faced. Finally, this document will argue that students at the University are ready for more technology in their classroom environments and should expect the University to accommodate their requests in an effort to successfully prepare them for their careers.
