    * Lamnostoma taiwanense Chiu, Huang & Shao, this volume Lamnostoma taiwanense Chiu, Huang & Shao in Chiu, Huang, Shao & Chen, 2018: this volume (type locality: Juan-wei, Yilan, northeastern Taiwan). Remarks. Newly described in Taiwan by Chiu et al. (2018); only found in river mouths of northeastern Taiwan.Published as part of Ho, Hsuan-Ching, Smith, David G., Tighe, Kenneth A., Hibino, Yusuke & Mccosker, John E., 2018, Checklist of eels of Taiwan (orders Anguilliformes and Saccopharyngiformes): An update, pp. 5-17 in Zootaxa 4454 (1) on page 14, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4454.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/144668

    A Chronology of International Business Cycles Through Non-parametric Decoding

    Full text link
    This paper introduces a new empirical strategy for the characterization of business cycles. It combines non-parametric decoding methods that classify a series into expansions and recessions but does not require specification of the underlying stochastic process generating the data. It then uses network analysis to combine the signals obtained from different economic indicators to generate a unique chronology. These methods generate a record of peak and trough dates comparable, and in one sense superior, to the NBER’s own chronology. The methods are then applied to 22 OECD countries to obtain a global business cycle chronology.decoding, hierarchical factor segmentation, network analysis, business cycles

    The subfamily Phrudinae of Ichneumonidae has not been recorded from Taiwan. This paper presents 5 genera and 11 species from this island. Two known species, Phrudus monilicornis Bridgman and Earobia paradoxus Perkins are new to Taiwan, and 9 species namely Brachyscieroma townesi Chiu, B. umbilici Chiu, Lygurus marjoriae Chiu, Phrudus longius Chiu, P. montanus Chiu, P. angustus Chiu, P. linorum Chiu, Astrenis granum Chiu, and A. densa Chiu are new to science. 福姬蜂亞科(Subfamily Phrudinae)乃姬蜂科中之一小科。體型甚小,僅知其係甲蟲類民蟲之內寄生(internal parasitoid)。該亞科妒蜂全球記載10屬(genus),零星分布於舊北區(Palearctic Region ),新北區(Nearctic Region),新熱帶區(Ethiopian Region),及東洋區(Oriental Region)。本省尚無記錄。 本文記載本省產之福姬蜂亞科5囑、11種內合2新記錄種(new record), Phrodus monilicornis Bridgman 與Earobia paradoxus Perkins,及9新種(new species),分別為Brachysleroma townesi Chiu, B. umbilici Chiu; Lygurus marjoriae Chiu; Phrudos longius Chiu, P . montanus Chiu, P. angustos Chiu, P. linorum Chiu; Astrenis granum Chiu 及A. densa Chiu.全部標本均從本省高山森林用掃網採得,而L. marjoriae Chiu 與E. paradoxus Perkins 係借自美國昆蟲學研究所,其餘標本均保存於臺灣省農業試驗所昆蟲標本館

    Yang Hui's commentary on the Ying Nu chapter of the Chiu Chang Suan Shu

    No full text
    AbstractOne of the many commentators of the Chiu chang suan shu (Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art), written approximately in the first century, is Yang Hui, who wrote Hsiang chieh chiu chang suan fa (A Detailed Analysis of the Mathematical Methods in the “Nine Chapters”) and the Chiu chang suan fa tsuan lei (Reclassification of the Mathematical Methods in the “Nine Chapters”) in 1261.The seventh chapter of the Chiu chang suan shu is called ying nu or ying pu tsu meaning “too much and not enough” or “surplus and deficiency.” It has been pointed out by historians of mathematics that the method known in Europe as the Rule of False Position is the same as the Chinese ying pu tsu method used in this chapter. Yang has made a detailed and thorough study of the twenty problems in this chapter. He has not only explained and expanded the method of ying pu tsu, but he has also suggested alternative and simpler solutions for some of the problems.This paper endeavours to translate the twenty problems, to analyse the ying pu tsu method, and above all to present a critical study of Yang's alternative methods
