Pronotum length 0.44–0.52 (0.48) mm; pronotum width 0.40–0.51 (0.51) mm; elytral length 1.00–1.20 (1.20) mm; elytral width 0.47–0.55 (0.55) mm; PW/PL 0.91–1.06 (1.06); EW/PW 0.98–1.08 (1.08); EL/EW 2.18–2.36 (2.18); EL/PL 2.27–2.53 (2.50). Sides of vertex raised and carinate, frons and vertex granulate, eyes large, half as long as their mutual distance, bearing thick facetal setae. Antenna rather short and thick, 11-segmented, antennal club consisting of terminal three segments of equal size, all transverse, last segment twice as wide as long; segments III and IV same in size (Figs 4 and 10). Pronotum, sides straight or slightly sinuate, parallel-sided or feebly narrowing posteriorly, four longitudinal carinae distinctly developed, admedian carinae nearly straight and parallel to each other, sublateral ones weakly sinuate, anterior and posterior angles distinct, nearly right angles; surface of pronotum covered with polygonal granules rather sparsely arranged. Elytra with distinct ridges, ridges 3 and 4 joined together before reaching elytral edge; sharply pointed setae arranged on ridges and intervals among punctures. Mesosternum, metasternum and abdomen ventrally covered all over with babble-shaped punctures of various shapes and sizes (Fig. 8), ventral setae long, about 0.13× the length of metasternum. Aedeagus (Fig. 11) trilobed-type, median lobe sharply pointed at tip, with fine hairs densely arranged on an elongate ring, parameres straight, each with four minute setae, 1.4 times as long as basal piece.

    Akemann G, Damgaard PH, Splittorff K, Verbaarschot JJM. Wilson Fermions, Random Matrix Theory and the Aoki Phase. In: PoS (Lattice 2010). Vol 92. 2010.The QCD partition function for the Wilson Dirac operator, DWD_W, at nonzerolattice spacing aa can be expressed in terms of a chiral Lagrangian as asystematic expansion in the quark mass, the momentum and a2a^2. Starting fromthis chiral Lagrangian we obtain an analytical expression for the spectraldensity of γ5(DW+m)\gamma_5 (D_W+m) in the microscopic domain. It is shown that theγ5\gamma_5-Hermiticity of the Dirac operator necessarily leads to a coefficientof the a2a^2 term that is consistent with the existence of an Aoki phase. Thetransition to the Aoki phase is explained, and the interplay of the index ofDWD_W and nonzero aa is discussed. We formulate a random matrix theory for theWilson Dirac operator with index ν\nu (which, in the continuum limit, becomesequal to the topological charge of gauge field configurations). It is shown byan explicit calculation that this random matrix theory reproduces thea2a^2-dependence of the chiral Lagrangian in the microscopic domain, and thatthe sign of the a2a^2-term is directly related to the γ5\gamma_5-Hermiticity ofDWD_W

    This paper approaches a re-evaluation of the parameters k and ? in soils applied for the calculation of loading capacity in root stakes foundations type, originally proposed by Aoki and Velloso (1975). The method was applied to the most commonly used soils in the city of Fortaleza, Northeast Brazil. Initially, a screening was applied to 54 constructions which had root stakes foundation. Later, the parameters k and ? based on Aoki and Velloso (1975) method were analyzed with regard to results from percussion surveys (SPT) and loading tests in four independent construction sites. Eventually, the parameters were checked out.Este artigo apresenta uma reavaliação dos parâmetros de solos k e ? utilizados para o cálculo da capacidade de carga de fundações em estaca do tipo raiz proposto, originalmente, por Aoki e Velloso (1975). O modelo foi adequado a alguns dos tipos de solos mais comumente encontrados na cidade de Fortaleza, Nordeste brasileiro. Inicialmente, apresenta-se um mapeamento de 54 ocorrências de edificações que apresentam fundações em estacas do tipo raiz. Em seguida, os parâmetros de solo k e ? do método Aoki e Velloso (1975) são retroanalisados a partir dos resultados de sondagens à percussão (SPT) e de provas de cargas realizadas em quatro obras. Por fim, validam-se os parâmetros retroanalisados
