Base sizes for sporadic simple groups
No full textLet G be a permutation group acting on a set . A subset of is a base for G ifits pointwise stabilizer in G is trivial. We write b(G) for the minimal size of a base forG. We determine the precise value of b(G) for every primitive almost simple sporadicgroup G, with the exception of two cases involving the Baby Monster group. As acorollary, we deduce that b(G) 6 7, with equality if and only if G is the Mathieu groupM24 in its natural action on 24 points. This settles a conjecture of Cameron
Parents, professionals and preschool children with special needs : towards a partnership model of problem solving
No full textIn this study, the long-recognised and well-documented problems faced by families who have a young child with a moderate or severe handicapping condition are re-examined and service provisions designed to support such families are reviewed. Major deficits in both service provision and applied research are highlighted and some of the traditionally-held views of these families are questioned. A problem-centred approach to evaluation is offered as an alternative method for applied research and service development in this area. This procedure is used to evaluate the Portage Home Teaching approach, a relatively new service model which uses parents as the major change agents for their handicapped children. Comparisons are made between the frequency of child, parent and family problem indicators experienced by families receiving a Portage service and general surveys of this client group carried out in the UK. The data indicated similarities between all three groups on endogenous child variables especially degree of handicap, physical health, hospitalisation, additional handicapping conditions and death rate. However, in the cases of parent variables (physical and mental health, care and management demands) and family variables (e.g. divorce, separation, sibling disturbance, harsh parental management and social isolation) clear differences emerged, those families receiving a Portage home teaching service having a lower problem incidence than families in the comparison samples. An examination of service outcome data suggests that some external variables, notably, frequency of child deaths, severity of handicap and SLD school placement are related to high service demand, although so social class or home teacher effects could be established. The existence of a small group of high service demand families, who are likely to require an intense level of support, is noted. Data collected on the everyday problems of all the Portage families are also examined. In the case of educational, family, Portage service, agency and interagency problems, qualitative differences, in terms of the problem referrer, the person who was the focus of the problem and the agreed strategy for change emerged. This information is used to (a) generate a new advanced training curriculum for home teachers and (b) to design a new in-service training programme for Portage personnel. Finally, a number of avenues for future research is suggested and, at a service level, the possibility of using a systematic problem solving procedure as a means of empowering parents is considered.</p

Past and future sea-level rise along the coast of North Carolina, USA
No full textWe evaluate relative sea level (RSL) trajectories for North Carolina, USA, in the context of tide-gauge measurements and geological sea-level proxy reconstructions spanning the last ∼11,000 years. RSL rise was fastest (∼7 mm/yr) during the early Holocene and slowed over time with the end of the deglaciation. During the pre-Industrial Common Era (i.e., 0–1800 CE), RSL rise (∼0.7 to 1.1 mm/yr) was driven primarily by glacio-isostatic adjustment, though dampened by tectonic uplift along the Cape Fear Arch. Ocean/atmosphere dynamics caused centennial variability of up to ∼0.6 mm/yr around the long-term rate. It is extremely likely (probability P = 0.95) that 20th century RSL rise at Sand Point, NC, (2.8 ± 0.5 mm/yr) was faster than during any other century in at least 2,900 years. Projections based on a fusion of process models, statistical models, expert elicitation, and expert assessment indicate that RSL at Wilmington, NC, is very likely (P = 0.90) to rise by 42–132 cm between 2000 and 2100 under the high-emissions RCP 8.5 pathway. Under all emission pathways, 21st century RSL rise is very likely (P > 0.90) to be faster than during the 20th century. Due to RSL rise, under RCP 8.5, the current ‘1-in-100 year’ flood is expected at Wilmington in ∼30 of the 50 years between 2050-2100.The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10584-015-1451-xPeer reviewe
Physotarsus montezuma Cameron 1886
No full textPhysotarsus montezuma (Cameron, 1886) Mesoleius montezuma Cameron, 1886: 286. Holotype ♂ in BMNH. Mesoleius montezuma: Townes in Townes & Townes 1966: 139 (transfer to Physotarsus, status of type specimen). Scopesis flavolineatus Cameron, 1904: 254. Holotype ♂ in BMNH. Scopesis flavolineatus: Townes in Townes & Townes 1966: 139 (as synonym of montezuma). Physotarsus montezuma: Townes & Townes 1966: 139 (catalog, synonymy); Yu & Horstmann 1997: 455 (catalog). Diagnosis. Lateral ocelli separated by 1.3 X their widest diameter from each other and 1.4 X their widest diameter from eye margin. Pronotum punctate throughout, rugose along lateral groove and posterior margin. Mesoscutum densely punctate over anterior 0.3. T 1 about 2.2 X as long as broad. Face yellow medially, frons, most of vertex, and occiput black. Mesosoma almost entirely black. T 1 yellow anteriorly, black posteriorly, remaining tergites black with apical margins yellow. Hind legs almost entirely black. Fore wing entirely hyaline. This species differs from all others with a distinctly punctate mesopleuron by the more nearly completely black mesosoma. It is most similar to darker specimens of P. tonicus, which also have about the same pattern of punctation on the mesoscutum. The fore and mid femora are at least partly dark brown to black in P. tonicus and yellow in P. m o n t e z u m a. Description. Male: Body 5.6 mm, fore wing 4.8 mm. Head: Clypeal margin evenly rounded, with thick, rounded central lobe. Clypeus about 2.9 X as wide as long, not divided medially by shallow transverse depression. Face covered with short setae; setae longer, less dense on clypeus. Anterior tentorial pits elliptical. Malar space 0.6 X width of mandibular base. Face about 1.7 X as broad as long, dorsally convex in profile, densely punctate, slightly more so medially than laterally and ventrolaterally. Interantennal area flat, area immediately behind antennae weakly concave laterally turning convex before reaching ocelli. Anterior margin of torulus situated at about 0.6 of eye height. Interantennal distance about equal distance between lateral ocelli. Widest diameter of torulus 1.3 X widest diameter of median ocellus. Lateral ocelli separated by 1.3 x their widest diameter from each other and 1.4 X their widest diameter from eye margin. Area between lateral ocelli depressed, area immediately behind ocelli not sharply declivitous. Both antennae broken near base, first flagellomere 7.5 X longer than wide, 1.6 X widest transverse diameter of eye, second flagellomere 0.7 X length of first. Occipital carina present on ventral 0.2 of head. Mesosoma: Anterior margin of pronotum medially slightly emarginate, laterally rounded and slightly upcurved. Lateral groove of pronotum complete to posterior margin, crenulate-rugose. Pronotum punctate throughout, slightly less so medially, rugulose along posterior margin. Mesoscutum densely punctate and setose over anterior 0.3, smooth and bare or nearly so posteriorly. Epicnemial carina parallels anterior margin of mesopleuron. Mesopleuron very densely punctate and setose with small impunctate area. Metapleuron uniformly densely setose. Propodeal carinae difficult to see on holotype, at least posterior portion of pleural carina distinct; narrowly impunctate to sparsely punctate along midline, densely punctate laterally. Tarsal claws not pectinate. Fore wing 2 rs-m 2.1 X longer than abscissa of M between 2 rs-m and 2 m-cu; Cu 1 a about 0.6-0.7 X length of 2 cu-a; cu-a very weakly antefurcal relative to Rs&M. Hind wing M+Cu strongly bowed; basal abscissa of Rs 1.0– 1.1 X length of rs-m; 1 st abscissa of Cu 1 about equal length of cu-a. Metasoma: T 1 about 2.2 X as long as broad; surface in profile with shallow basal depression gradually becoming flat medially, convex posteriorly, dorsal tendon anchored at base of depression; spiracles not protruding in profile; dorsolateral carina extending about 0.5 X distance to spiracle. Cerci oval, not or only scarcely protruding. Color. Head mostly black, clypeus, mandible except apical teeth, face medially, and a broad orbital spot on either side of ocellar field yellow. Scape, pedicel and basal three flagellomeres black, remaining flagellomeres missing. Mesosoma entirely black except meso- and metascutellum yellow. T 1 yellow on basal half, black on posterior half with posterior margin yellow; remaining tergites black with narrow apical yellow margin, yellow margin broader posteriorly. Fore and mid legs yellow, with coxae dark brown ventrally and tarsomeres becoming infumate distally. Hind legs missing; from original description coxa and tarsomeres black, femur and tibia beneath paler (yellow tinged with fulvous). Fore wing entirely hyaline. Material Examined. Presumed holotype ɗ MEXICO (BMNH). Remarks. Townes (1966) stated that the nominal species Mesoleius montezuma Cameron, 1886 and Scopesis flavolineatus Cameron, 1904 were based on the same type specimen, though he did not provide additional information that lead him to this conclusion. Townes (1966) implied that there was a single specimen on which the respective descriptions were based, but Cameron (1886, 1904) does not explicitly say this, indicating in both cases only that the species was described from the male. This type specimen is in very poor condition, with hind legs completely missing, antennae broken beyond the third flagellomere, and metasoma glued to one of the labels. There are five labels. The uppermost label is a round, red-margined type label. This is followed by a “B. M. Type Hym 3 b 1114 ” label, then a third, handwritten (possibly by Cameron) label that reads “ Scopesis flavolineatus Cam. Type Mexico ”. The fourth label is an accessions label that reads “ Cameron Coll. 1904 - 313 ”, and the fifth a red hand-written label by Townes that reads “ Type Mesoleius montezuma Cam Tow ’ 64 ”. There is no separate locality label, but published information (Cameron 1886 but not in Cameron 1904) lists the locality as “ Mexico: Ciudad in Durango 8100 ft (Forrer).” The shape of the clypeus, reduction of the occipital carina, lack of fore wing areolet, and inflated hind tarsi (the latter as figured by Cameron 1886) indicate that this is a typical member of the genus as characterized here.Published as part of Zhaurova, Kira & Wharton, Robert, 2009, A revision of Physotarsus Townes (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Ctenopelmatinae), with description of 18 new species, pp. 1-52 in Zootaxa 2207 on pages 40-41, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18975
