Perrin Numbers That Are Concatenations of a Perrin Number and a Padovan Number in Base b
No full textLet (Formula presented.) be a Padovan sequence and (Formula presented.) be a Perrin sequence. Let n, m, b, and k be non-negative integers, where (Formula presented.). In this paper, we are devoted to delving into the equations (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.), where d is the number of digits of (Formula presented.) or (Formula presented.) in base b. We show that the sets of solutions are (Formula presented.) (Formula presented.) for the first equation and (Formula presented.) for the second equation. Our approach employs advanced techniques in Diophantine analysis, including linear forms in logarithms, continued fractions, and the properties of Padovan and Perrin sequences in base b. We investigate both the deep structural symmetries and the complex structures that connect recurrence relations and logarithmic forms within Diophantine equations involving special number sequences. © 2025 by the author
Investigating genetic vulnerability to chronic wasting disease in endangered cervid taxa
No full textChronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE). TSEs are a group of progressive neurodegenerative diseases caused by prions. Prions are misfolded infectious proteins with a stable altered structure that allows them to induce conformational changes in normal proteins and make them infectious prions. As the infection spreads, it causes irreversible damage primarily in the brain and lymphoid tissues, and ultimately causes death. CWD is transmissible directly through the bodily fluids of infected animals, and can be shed into the environment as well as on a variety of manmade surfaces, which can potentially remain infectious for years. CWD has spread geographically across North America and has recently been identified in cervid populations in Eurasia. In light of this, efforts have increased to monitor and manage populations to reduce the spread of CWD.
In various cervid species, genetic variants of PRNP, the prion gene, have been associated with either reduced or increased CWD susceptibility in exposed populations. In this thesis, I assess PRNP variation in endangered cervid taxa to identify polymorphisms that are potentially associated with differing vulnerability to CWD.
In Chapter 1, I introduce the biological background and current status of CWD in cervids. In Chapter 2, I assess two white-tailed deer subspecies (Odocoileus virginianus clavium & O. v. leucurus) listed under the Endangered Species Act, to assess the potential vulnerability to the populations if exposed to CWD. CWD has been detected in other free-ranging subspecies of white-tailed deer and continues to spread geographically, making this investigation particularly pressing. In Chapter 3, I determine the PRNP polymorphisms of captive Pere David’s deer (Elaphurus davidianus), which are classified as extinct in the wild, and are kept in various captive breeding programs at zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), and relate the findings to their management in captive populations. In chapter 4, I assess PRNP polymorphisms in endangered Eld’s deer (Rucervus eldii thamin), also held in captive breeding programs at zoos accredited by AZA, to determine their potential vulnerability to CWD.
In this thesis, I investigate the genetics of CWD vulnerability in four cervid taxa of conservation concern. The findings in this thesis can be taken into consideration for the management of wild and captive cervids in regards to CWD.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2023-05-01The student, Tolulope Perrin-Stowe, accepted the attached license on 2021-04-20 at 10:06.The student, Tolulope Perrin-Stowe, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2021-04-20 at 10:14.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2021-04-20 at 14:05.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #16439 on 2021-09-16 at 17:04:07Made available in DSpace on 2021-09-17T02:34:39Z (GMT).

L’action ou la contemplation. Note sur la relation de la fille de Thrace au Docteur angélique
No full textIf the opposition between “action and contemplation” seems characteristic of the history of philosophy, it also sums up Hannah Arendt’s personal history and philosophy – the diagnosis of the theoretician of the political practice on her contemporaries being eloquent. But the author of the Human condition invites us to reverse the conjunction. Arendt breaks up deliberately with philosophical tradition and particularly with Thomas Aquinas by making these terms exclusive and choosing to think either action (without contemplation) or contemplation (without action). We would like thus to reflect on the relationship between these two thinkers by examining potential echoes of Summa Theologiae within Arendt’s 1958 essay

Larinus crassiusculus Desbrochers 1895
No full textLarinus crassiusculus Desbrochers, 1895 Larinus crassiusculus Desbrochers, 1895: 93 In the description, Desbrochers indicates “Long. 910; lat. 56 mill.” and “Akbẻs, rapportẻ par M. Delagrange de qui je l’ai reçu, ainsi que de MM. Staudinger et BangHaas”. Types. The male designated as lectotype bears the labels “ Syrie, Akbes, C.D. 1891 ” [printed, C.D. for Ch. Delagrange] and “ crassiusculus Db, 1.80 ”, “ type ” [handwritten] and has been labelled “ Lectotypus ɗ, Larinus crassiusculus Desbr., Gültekin & Perrin des. 2004 ” [printed on red paper]. Four other males and one female in Desbrochers’ collection are designated as paralectotypes and labelled accordingly as “ Paralectotypus ɗ/Ψ, Larinus crassiusculus Desbr., Gültekin & Perrin des. 2004 ” [printed on red paper]: female pinned through right elytron and intact “[golden square label]”, “ crassiusculus m.” [handwritten]; male pinned through right elytron and with right middle tibia and tarsus, half part of third segment and claw segments of the fore left tarsus and left hind tarsus missing “[golden square label]”; male pinned through right elytron and intact “ Syrie, Akbes, C.D. 1891 ” [printed]; male pinned through right elytron and with left hind leg missing “ Syrie, Akbes, C.D. 1891 ” [printed]; male pinned through right elytron and intact “ Syrie, Akbẻs, Ch. Delagrange, Etẻ 1890 ” [printed]. Another male in the “M. Pic, ex. Delagrange” collection, pinned through right elytron and with hind left leg missing and labelled “ Syrie, Akbes, Cd. 1891 ” [printed], “[pink rounded label]”, “ crassiusculus m.” “ Type ” [printed on red paper] is also designated as paralectotype and labelled “ Paralectotypus ɗ, Larinus crassiusculus Desbr., Gültekin & Perrin des. 2004 ” [on red paper]. Another male standing under the name crassiusculus together with the syntypes does not belong to the type series, having been collected two years after the description of the species, in southern Turkey (labelled “ Asia minor, Gülek, Taur. Cilic., 1897, Holtz”). Remarks. Larinus khnzoriani TerMinassian, 1962 is conspecific with Larinus crassiusculus Desbrochers, 1895, the types of both having been examined by the senior author. Thus, the following new synonymy is here proposed: Larinus crassiusculus Desbrochers, 1895 [= Larinus khnzoriani TerMinassian, 1962 syn. n.]. This species is related to L. curtus Hochhuth, 1851 and L. palaestinus Talamelli, 1999. A redescription of it is in preparation for a forthcoming revision of some species groups of Larinus.Published as part of Gültekin, Levent & Perrin, Hélène, 2006, The species of Larinus Dejean, 1821 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) described by J.

Larinus cribricollis Desbrochers 1896
No full textLarinus cribricollis Desbrochers, 1896 Larinus cribricollis Desbrochers, 1896: 66 In the description, Desbrochers indicates “Long. 10 mill.” and “ Syrie ”. Type. The female recognized as holotype bears the handwritten labels “ Syrie ”, “ L. cribricollis, Fr. 96 V 60 5 ” and “ type ” and has been labelled “ Holotypus Ψ, Larinus cribricollis Desbr., Gültekin & Perrin des. 2005 ” [on red paper], “ Larinus lederi Fst, L. Gültekin det. 2005 ”. It misses the left middle tarsus beyond the first segment and the left antenna. Remarks. The mention “Fr. 96 V 60 5 ” is a reference to the description [probably 60 5, a mistake for 65, the number for this species in the Desbrochers’ note]. Larinus cribricollis Desbrochers, 1896 is conspecific with Larinus lederi Faust, 1889, the types of both having been examined by the senior author, necessitating the following new synonymy: Larinus lederi Faust, 1889 [= Larinus cribricollis Desbrochers, 1896 syn. n.].Published as part of Gültekin, Levent & Perrin, Hélène, 2006, The species of Larinus Dejean, 1821 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) described by J.

The Old Men and the Sea of Masscult : T S Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, and Middlebrow Aesthetics
No full textUses American essayist Dwight Macdonald’s well-known critique of Hemingway’s and Eliot’s later works as middlebrow as the basis for his own examination of how the later The Old Man and the Sea, in contrast to the earlier “The Undefeated,” addresses the incoherencies of postwar modernist literature and thus reveals an opposing aesthetic philosophy. Perrin writes that The Old Man and the Sea “represents an author forced implicitly to acknowledge his middlebrow aesthetic because of an inability, despite his best efforts, to make his writing comprehensible in what had come to be accepted modernist terms.” Also published in The Aesthetics of Middlebrow Fiction: Popular US Novels, Modernism, and Form, 1945-75, 19-36.

Larinus elegans Desbrochers 1897
No full textLarinus elegans Desbrochers, 1897 Larinus elegans Desbrochers, 1897: 29 In the description, Desbrochers indicates “Long. 912 mill., “Algẻrie, AïnSefra, des rẻcoltes de Hẻnon”, and “le ɗ est un peu plus ẻtroit que l’autre sexe, à abdomen subdẻprimẻ au lieu d’ȇtre assez convexe”. The size and the last sentence show that there are several specimens in the type series. Types. Several specimens stand under this name in Desbrochers’ collection. One female, pinned through right elytron, missing the left hind tarsus, and bearing the handwritten labels “ L. elegans, Fr. 97, Ψ, Ψ” and “ type ”, is here designated as lectotype by adding a red label “ Lectotypus Ψ, Larinus elegans Desbr., Gültekin & Perrin des. 2005 ”. Three males and two females, all intact and bearing the label “AïnSefra, Hẻnon” [printed] are designated as paralectotypes and labelled accordingly as “ Paralectotypus ɗ/Ψ, Larinus elegans Desbr., Gültekin & Perrin des. 2005 ” [on red paper]. Fifteen other specimens standing with the syntypes, bearing labels “A. Sefra” or “AïnSefra” [handwritten] and “Ex Museo, Dr. Ch. Martin” or “ex Musaeo Desbrochers 1904 ” [printed] do not belong to the type series because the original description does not refer to any specimen from Dr. Ch. Martin’s collection or the reference to Hẻnon is lacking. Remarks. Larinus elegans Desbrochers, 1897 is conspecific with Larinus kirschii Capiomont, 1874, the types of both having been examined by the senior author. However, the binomen Larinus kirschi was also employed by Reitter (1872) for another Larinus (Larinomesius) species, and Larinus kirschii Capiomont, 1874 is a junior primary homonym of L. kirschi Reitter, 1872 since the endings –i and –ii regarded as homonymous (ICZN 1999). Bedel (1887: 201) proposed the replacement name of Larinus mutabilis for Larinus kirschii Capiomont, 1874, but also this name cannot be used because it is a primary homonym of Larinus mutabilis (Host, 1789), a synonym of Larinus latus (Herbst, 1784). Csiki (1934) correctly placed Larinus mutabilis Bedel, 1887 under the synonyms of Larinus elegans Desbrochers, 1897. Larinus elegans is related to Larinus ursus (Fabricius, 1792), clearly differing from the latter by its shorter and thicker rostrum and the sharp apical constriction of the aedeagus.Published as part of Gültekin, Levent & Perrin, Hélène, 2006, The species of Larinus Dejean, 1821 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) described by J. Desbrochers: lectotype designations and new synonymies, pp. 55-68 in Zootaxa 1350 on pages 63-64, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27359
