Holotype: ♂, CHINA: Yunnan: Xishuangbanna, Mengla County, Menglun Town, Menglun Nature Reserve, G213 Roadside, Anogeissus acuminate Plantation (N21º53.992', E101º16.948', alt. 596 m), 2 December 2009, G. Tang and Z. Y. Yao (Tang-Yao_No.38). Paratypes: 2 ♀, same data as holotype. Etymology. The specific name is from Chinese word for fork (chā), refers to the distal of RTA fork-shaped, noun in apposition. Diagnosis. This new species is similar to L. primus Tang and Li, 2009, but can be separated by: the large, distally bifurcated ramus of RTA (palm-shaped, not bifurcated in L. primus) and the slender copulatory ducts (short in L. primus).

Opisthosoma dorsally yellow with slivery white spots. Palp (Figs 13 B–D, 15 A–B). VTA strongly sclerotized; RTA large, with a small ramus digitiform, the large ramus bifurcated distally; tegulum swollen without apophysis; embolus slender. Female (one of the paratypes measured): Total length 4.40. Prosoma 1.80 long, 1.50 wide; opisthosoma 2.80 long, 1.40 wide. Dorsal shield of prosoma yellowish green, head area with sparse setae. Eye measurements: AME 0.06; ALE 0.10; PME 0.05; PLE 0.09; AME–AME 0.18; AME–ALE 0.18; PME–PME 0.26; PME–PLE 0.38. MOA length 0.28 with front width 0.28 and back width 0.36. Chelicerae, gnathocoxae, labium and sternum yellow. Legs yellow with spines. Leg measurements: I: 6.10 (1.80, 2.20, 1.40, 0.70); II: 6.20 (1.90, 2.20, 1.40, 0.70); III: 3.30 (1.00, 1.20, 0.60, 0.50); IV: 3.80 (1.30, 1.30, 0.70, 0.50), leg formula: 2143. Opisthosoma dorsally yellowish with slivery spots. Epigynum (Figs 14 B–C, 15 C–D). Epigynum light yellow, with an anteriorly situated hood and a pair of lateral grooves; copulatory openings posteriorly situated; copulatory ducts slender, twisted, translucent anteriorly; spermathecae small, globular. Variation. Total length: ♀ 4.40–4.50 (n=2). Distribution.

Temporal Integration Can Readily Switch Between Sublinear and Supralinear Summation
No full text Margulis, Michael and Cha-Min Tang. Temporal integration can readily switch between sublinear and supralinear summation. J. Neurophysiol. 79: 2809–2813, 1998. Temporal summation at dendrites of cultured rat hippocampal neurons was examined as a function of the interval separating two dendritic inputs. A novel method that relies on single-mode optical fibers to achieve rapid photorelease of glutamate was developed. Dendritic excitation achieved with this approach resembles that associated with miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs), but the strengths, sites, and timing of the inputs can be precisely controlled. Dendritic summation deviated markedly from behavior predicted by passive cable theory. Subthreshold temporal summation varied as a triphasic function of the interpulse interval. As the interpulse interval decreased, local dendritic Na+ conductances were recruited to generate a marked transition from sublinear to supralinear summation. These results suggest that active dendritic conductances acting in concert with passive cable properties may serve to boost coincident synaptic inputs and attenuate noncoincident inputs. </jats:p

Negotiating Religious and Cultural Diversity in Tang China: An Analysis of the Cha jiu lun 茶酒論
No full textThe Tang dynasty was a religious and culturally diverse period which saw a range of ethnic and cultural issues, often expressed in the form of polemical literature (or interreligious court debates). This paper focuses on the analysis of the Cha jiu lun, a dialogically structured
debate between three beverages discovered in Dunhuang, to demonstrate that it functions as an allegorical and satirical performance piece in reaction to religious and
cultural diversity in Dunhuang and Tang China. This analysis is contextualised using other similar discourse and a range of prominent secondary literature. Primarily considered a contribution to tea culture, analysing the metaphorical function of the three beverages in the Cha jiu lun highlights its place in a more relevant area of study. The genre conventions of the Cha jiu lun are explored in-depth, demonstrating some difficulties with its typical classification as a transformation text (bianwen) due to its congruency with polemical debates in the Tang. This paper demonstrates the wider importance of the Cha jiu lun as an allegorical piece written in a location and period highly influenced by issues of cultural and religious amalgamation, and provides a comprehensive study into its purpose and function in light of these issues
