Acyrthosiphon pilosum Nieto Nafria, Aldea & Castro, sp. n.
No full textAcyrthosiphon pilosum Nieto Nafría, Aldea & Castro, sp. n. Diagnosis. Aphids 2.1–3.8 mm long; green when alive; brownish yellow when mounted. First segment of tarsi with 5 setae (infrequently 4 or 3); ultimate rostral segment with 19–36 accessory setae, and longer than second segment of hind tarsus; marginal tubercles present on prothorax and several abdominal presiphuncular segments; antennal and dorsal abdominal setae at least 0.4 times the basal width of antennal segment III; antennal segment III with 3–11 secondary sensoria (exceptionally up to 22) on its proximal half in apterous viviparae and 12–30 along length of segment in alate viviparae. Description. Apterous viviparous females (Figure 1), described from 166 specimens, of which 117 have been measured. Shiny green when alive. Brownish yellow in general (see details below) when mounted (Figure 1 A). Metric and meristic features in Table 1. Head (including clypeus, labrum and mandibular and maxillar laminae) brownish. Frons with prominent lateral tubercles (approximately 0.5 times length of antennal segment I), wide frontal sinus and small and flat medial tubercle. Dorsum of head smooth. Antennal segments I–III usually as pale as head (darker in pigmented specimens); segments I and II smooth, proximal part of segment III with small spinules, remaining length of this segment imbricated (Figure 1 B); segments IV–VI also imbricated, darker than the previous ones, especially in pigmented specimens. Secondary sensoria round and flat, ventrally aligned on proximal third to half of segment III (Figure 1 B). Cephalic dorsal and antennal setae stiff and with diffuse apices. Rostrum reaching hind coxae and darkening to apex. Last rostral segment provided with many accessory setae, which are long and slightly curved (Figure 1 C); ultimate rostral segment elongate wedge shaped. Dorsum of thorax and abdomen in general paler than dorsum of head and more-or-less wrinkled. Legs mostly pale like abdominal dorsum, tarsi and apices of tibiae pale brown (Figure 1 A). First segments of tarsi usually with 5 setae (Figure 1 D), but the eight specimens of one sample—from Le Casset—have 3 or 4 setae. Prothorax and several of abdominal segments 2–5 with marginal tubercles that are unusually large for an Acyrthosiphon species (Figure 1 E). Spinal tubercles absent on head and abdomen. Thoracic and abdominal dorsal setae similar in shape to cephalic ones. Intersegmental and spiracular sclerites usually inconspicuous (Figure 1 A), only evident in darkest specimens. Marginal areas of abdominal segment 6 (postsiphuncular), and transverse bands of segments 7 and 8 with spinules. Siphunculi pale, very variable in length, even in specimens from the same sample, subcylindrical, with enlarged base, thin but sometimes slightly swollen on the distal third, scabrous or imbricated over their entire length, and with subapical incision (with 1-3 transversal lines) and flange (Figure 1 F). Cauda pale or dusky, broad triangular, with obtuse apex; caudal setae thick and slightly curved (Figure 1 G). Subgenital plate also pale, and anal plate pale or dusky (Figure 1 A). apt.viv.fem. al.viv.fem. ov.fem.

Mounted specimens similar in shape and pigmentation to apterous viviparous females, but they have antennae and legs more extensively pigmented, spiracular and intersegmental sclerites always conspicuous and pigmented, siphunculi brown, and genital plate with two symmetric dusky spots (Figure 2 C). Tibiae of hind legs slightly enlarged on the proximal half, with round and small scent plates on proximal three-quarters of their length (Figure 2 D). Biology. Acyrthosiphon pilosum sp. nov. lives on O. natrix, also on O. ramosissima, O. spinosa and possibly on other species of Ononis. Oviparous females were collected at two locations in southern France in mid-October, indicating that this species is holocyclic and monoecious, like other species of the genus. Distribution. The type specimens were collected in three localities of southern Spain and in eight localities of south-eastern France. It could be assumed that this species also lives in areas of the Mediterranean coastal strip of Spain and France, but it must be very rare, since it has never been collected in the eastern Spanish provinces of Castellon, Valencia and Alicante, which have been intensively sampled by several authors. The known altitudinal range of the species is wide, from the sea level to 1700 m. Types. Holotype: viviparous apterous female, FRANCE: Hautes-Alpes: Guillestre à Ceillac (1400 m), 23.VIII. 1987, on O. natrix; G. Remaudière leg.; collection of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (Paris, France), sample 15425, measured specimen number 17.

Remaudière, and Spanish ones collected by Mier Durante & Nieto Nafría Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (Paris, France) and Universidad de León (Leon, Spain) collections. Etymology. The specific epithet of the new species, pilosum, is a Latin adjective in nominative singular and neutral gender, which means “hairy” and refers to the high number of setae that these aphids have on the first tarsal segments and on the distal segments of the rostrum.Published as part of Nieto Nafría, Juan M., Aldea, Marta & Castro, Marta, 2015, A new species of Acyrthosiphon (Hemiptera, Aphididae) from France and Spain, pp. 335-342 in Zootaxa 3919 (2) on pages 335-340, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3919.2.6, http://zenodo.org/record/24268

Análisis de vulnerabilidad Aldea Puente Alto, Barillas, Huehuetenango (Guatemala)
No full textLa aldea de Puente Alto está ubicada en el municipio de Barillas en el departamento de Huehuetenango en Guatemala. Los primeros colonizadores de Puente Alto son de origen indígena, pertenecientes a la etnia Q´anjob´al, estos llegaron provenientes de los municipios de Santa Eulalia, San Mateo y San Miguel en la búsqueda de un clima más idóneo para la siembra de café y granos básicos ya que en sus aldeas de origen el frio solo permitía el cultivo de manzanas y duraznos. Durante la década de los 70´s la aldea tuvo un salto en el desarrollo ya que fue construida la primera escuela y la auxiliatoria, permitiendo de esta forma una mejor educación y orden en la aldea.
En esta aldea el principal evento ocurrido ha sido durante el conflicto armado en los años 1981-1983 donde perecieron muchos pobladores de la aldea, obligando también al desplazamiento de muchos habitantes hacia lugares más seguros. También esto dio paso a la creación de grupos de vigilancia los que notificaban sobre cual amenaza de grupos armados.
En la actualidad el rubro principal que genera ingresos es el café el que cultiva orgánicamente a una altura promedio de 1,496 msnm en tierras de laderas con pendientes superiores al 40% y es comercializado a través del apoyo de ASOBAGRI. También es común encontrar en las parcelas el cultivo de pataste, malanga, maíz, frijoles y cítricos en su mayoría para autoconsumo. los demás elementos de la canasta básica que no pueden producir son adquiridos en Barillas.
La aldea tiene regular acceso vial, el mantenimiento de la carretera se hace mediante mano de obra comunitaria, esta se paga mediante un cobro a los usuarios de la vía. El total de viviendas en la aldea es de
155 y son construidas en su mayoría de madera
repetability of self healing in fiber reinforced concretes with and without crystalline admixtures: preliminary results
No full textThis paper analyzes the repeatability of autogenous and engineered self-healing in fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) with and without crystalline admixtures. To this purpose, the tensile behavior of two different mixes, differing by the presence of the crystalline admixture, has been investigated after a series of pre-cracking and conditioning cycles. An indirect testing methodology has been employed to the aforementioned purpose, i.e. Double Edge Wedge Splitting (DEWS) test. Three different exposure conditions were considered: open air exposure, water immersion and wet/dry cycles. Specimens were pre-cracked up to a crack width of 0.25mm (0.01 in.) (precrack cycle). Then, specimens were healed for one month and tested again up to a crack width of 0.25mm (0.01 in.) (cycle after 1st healing). After that, specimens were healed for two months further (2nd healing) and finally, they were cracked once again up to 0.25mm (0.01 in.). The highest healing rate was reached for specimens immersed in water; moreover, as expectable, the larger the initial crack width, the lower is the percentage of crack closure. Regarding the repeatability, a general better trend was found for the mix with crystalline admixtures, in which, in addition, the maximum load regain was measured after the 2nd healing cycle rather than after the 1st healing
