    12. Rhinolophus , sp. n. (Plate fig. 10.) Rhinolophus affinis rouxi? (non Temin.), Thomas, Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova (2) x. (1892) p. 15, pl. xi. fig. 3. Diagnosis. Allied to Rh. rouxi, but p2 external to the tooth-row. Smaller than rouXi, with considerably shorter metacarpals, and the tip of the lancet excessively shortened. Third metacarpal 30’4-31 mm. Forearm 44 8-45'7 mm. Details. While being similar to Rh. rouXi in the shape of the sella and the ears, and the proportionate length of the tail, Rh. thomasi differs, externally, from that species in the following particulars: — The horse-shoe is considerably narrower; it is even narrower than in the smaller borneensis and in the much smaller malayanus. The tip of the lancet is exceedingly short, almost rudimentary; it is the hastate lancet of rouXi carried to an extreme. The general size is smaller, as seen by the measurements of the forearm. But the metacarpals are proportionately much shorter, as short as in the much smaller malayanus. III.2 is comparatively longer than in rouxi, i. e. more than 4 the length of III. (cf. nereis and stheno). V.2 is extremely short. Measurements of Rhinolophus rouxi and thomasi. Colour. To judge from specimens preserved in alcohol, probably not far from being the same as in the dark phase of Nepal examples of Rh. rouXi. Skull. The essential characters are as in rouXi, thus proving Rh. thomasi to be an offshoot from that type of Bat, not (as might very well be supposed, in view of the short metacarpals) fioni borneensis. The skull of Rh. thomasi agrees with that of rouXi in the broad brain-case; it differs from rouXi in the much smaller size. Compared with borneensis, the skull of Rh. thomasi is as small as in the smallest individuals I have seen of borneensis (even as small as in malayanus), but the brain-case is markedly broader, even broader than in the largest borneensis, and the supraorbital length is exceedingly short (cf. measurements, p. 100). Dentition. p3 external; p2 and p4 in contact; p2 eXternal. Upper canine and, p 1 in contact. Both of the specimens examined are identical in dentition. Measurements. On p. 100. Type. ♀ ad. (in alcohol). Karin Hills, Burma, 1888. Collected by Signor Leonardo Fea. Presented by Marquis G. Doria. Brit. Mus. no. 90.4.7.10. I venture to connect with this fine species the name of Mr. Oldfield Thomas, who already thirteen years ago (I. s. c.) pointed out that it could scarcely be identified with any hitherto known form, but refrained from describing it as new, owing to the cenerai confused state of this group of Bats.Published as part of Andersen, Knud, 1905, On some Bats of the Genus Rhinolophus, with Remarks on their Mutual Affinities, and Descriptions of Twenty-six new Forms., pp. 75-145 in Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 2 on pages 100-101, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.375745

    The FM and PL Libraries Documentation

    No full text
    Building complex SPMD code in an ecient and portable way is nowadays a challenge, especially when there is no uniformity of tools and libraries across platforms. The Fast Messages (FM) and the Portability Library (PL) where both designed to provide the basis of an abstract enough framework for C, so that problems can be coded and ported to any supported platform with no more than a few changes in the makeles and a recompilation. The FM library provides a message passing communications library built around the Berkeley Active Messages library. The PL library provides the primitives for host to node communication for problem initialization and results collection, as well as other miscellaneous and potentially non-portable primitives. This technical report contains the documentation for both libraries.Technical report LCSR-TR-25

    Introduction to Urban Science: Evidence and Theory of Cities as Complex Systems

    No full text
    Luís Bettencourt provides a timely, comprehensive, and rigorous treatment of urban space, by contributing to the advancement of knowledge in the field of urban science. The author develops a valuable scientific guide for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and students interested in understanding cities as complex systems. Today, more than half of world's population lives in urban areas, and, according to theWorld Bank data, by 2045, urban citizens will increase up to 6 billion. Cities of different sizes will play a pivotal role in the postpandemic recovery and, most importantly, they will make the green transition of our economies and societies really work in coming years. Therefore, understanding “how each city and every one of its people is the result of the aggregation of many choices, accidents, and influences from their compounded joint history” (p. xxi) becomes crucial to manage present and future local and global challenges

    MultiEmo: Multilingual, Multilevel, Multidomain Sentiment Analysis Corpus of Consumer Reviews

    No full text
    MultiEmo, a new benchmark data set for the multilingual sentiment analysis task including 11 languages. The collection contains consumer reviews from four domains: medicine, hotels, products and university. The original reviews in Polish contained 8,216 documents consisting of 57,466 sentences. The reviews were manually annotated with sentiment at the level of the whole document and at the level of a sentence (3 annotators per element). We achieved a high Positive Specific Agreement value of 0.91 for texts and 0.88 for sentences. The collection was then translated automatically into English, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Dutch and Portuguese.

    Rhinolophus stheno Andersen, 1905 Rhinolophus stheno Andersen, 1905: 91, pl. 3; Selangor, MALAYSIA (H. N. Ridley, Esq., presenter; BM(NH) 98.3.13.1) [147]. Common English name: Lesser Brown Horseshoe Bat Barcode Index Number: DNA barcodes recorded as R. stheno are associated with two BINs, BOLD:AAO1567 and BOLD:ABY7284, but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia in these BINs. Two DNA barcodes recorded as R. stheno (BM 504-04 and BM 505-04) are from Peninsular Malaysia but are not placed in any BIN due to short sequence length (< 500bp) Based on our NJ analysis, neither of the Peninsular Malaysia barcodes are associated with BOLD:AAO1567 or BOLD:ABY7284 (Fig 5). Remarks: R. microglobosus was described as a subspecies of R. stheno based on its smaller skull and globular anterior median rostral swellings [167]. The taxa were later found to be morphometrically and acoustically distinct, and R. microglobosus was consequently raised as a distinct species with a distribution covering Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos whereas R. stheno is restricted to southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and central Vietnam [168]. Therefore, DNA barcodes recorded as R. stheno associated with the BIN, BOLD:AAO 1567 may represent R. microglobosus, and DNA barcodes, BM504-04 and BM505- 04 [4] may represent the R. stheno sensu stricto as they were collected at Kuala Lompat, Pahang, close to the type locality. The BIN, BOLD:ABY7284 which contains DNA barcodes recorded as R. stheno and R. shameli may be erroneous (Fig 5). IUCN status: Least Concern Recorded at: Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11, 42], Tasik Chini [43], Lata Bujang Forest Reserve [56], Cameron Highland [60], Bukit Ibam, Kemasul, Jengka, Pulau Tioman [79], Klau Besar, Kenong and Gunung Aais [100]; Pulau Pinang: Bukit Panchor [23, 100]; Perak: Temengor Forest Reserve [46, 47, 111], Royal Belum State Park [66], Kledang Saiong Forest Reserve [101]; Perlis: Wang Kelian State Park [50]; Selangor: Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [51], Ulu Gombak [54, 101], Semangkok Forest Reserve [101]; Kedah: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57, 100], Bukit Hijau [100]; Kelantan: Air Panas-Gua Musang [61], Gua Musang [62], Gunung Stong State Park [100]; Johor: Gunung Panti and Labis Forest Reserve [100]; Negeri Sembilan: Gunung Angsi Forest Reserve [100, 101], Berembun Forest Reserve [101]; Terengganu: Gunung Tebu Forest Reserve [101]. R. stheno roosts in limestone caves and sometimes in smaller colonies in rock crevices and tree hollows [11, 14]. Individuals have been reported roosting with R. lepidus [11].Published as part of Voon-Ching Lim, Rosli Ramli, Subha Bhassu & John-James Wilson, 2017, A checklist of the bats of Peninsular Malaysia and progress towards a DNA barcode reference library, pp. 1-65 in PLoS ONE 12 (7) on pages 34-35, DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0179555, http://zenodo.org/record/425135

    The chain-level intersection product for PL pseudomanifolds revisited

    No full text
    Abstract We generalize the PL intersection product for chains on PL manifolds and for intersection chains on PL stratified pseudomanifolds to products of locally finite chains on non-compact spaces that are natural with respect to restriction to open sets. This is necessary to sheafify the intersection product, an essential step in proving duality between the Goresky-MacPherson intersection homology product and the intersection cohomology cup product pairing recently defined by the author and McClure. We also provide a correction to the Goresky-MacPherson proof of a version of Poincaré duality on pseudomanifolds that is used in the construction of the intersection product
