    Dendronephthya perezi nom. n. to replace Dendronephthya kukenthali Gravier, 1908. Etymology: The epithet “perezi” is given in honor of Dr. Carlos Daniel Pérez, a prominent octocoral taxonomist and former advisor of the first author. Type-specimens: Gravier’s syntypes (two specimens) are available at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (MNHN-IK-2000-153) (Fig. 1B,C). Part of the syntype (one uncatalogued specimen) is possibly deposited at Natural History Museum of Denmark (SNM), labeled by Tixier-Durivault and Prevorsek as “ Spongodes kükenthali (Gravier), from Gulf of Tadjoura, coll. by Ch. Gravier (1904)” (Fig. 1A).Published as part of Cordeiro, Ralf T.

    Psychoda amazonensis Cordeiro & Bravo Psychoda amazonensis Cordeiro & Bravo, 2008: 116. Type Locality: Brazil (Amazonas, Silves, Saracá) Diagnosis. eyes separated by 0.3 facet diameters; antenna with 14 flagellomeres, 12 th– 14 th fused; ascoids with 1 inferior and 3 superior arms; gonostylus with a long basal setae; gonocoxal bridge expanded posteriorly, with acute apex, extending beyond apex of distiphallus; paramere absent; female terminalia reduced (cerci and subgenital plate reduced), genital digit absent. Additional characters. hair patch of frons extending to facet row 2 or 3; 4–5 (rarely 6) supra-ocular setae; interocular suture absent; clypeus with 2 stronger lateral alveoli; frontoclypeal suture absent or apparently incomplete; distitarsus with apical projection. Material examined. type material: holotype 3 BRAZIL, Amazonas, Silves, Saracá, 30.vi. 1997, no collector name (INPA); 2 paratypes 3 e 5 paratypes Ƥ, same dates and locality as the holotype, no collector name (13 e 3 Ƥ INPA, 13 e 2 Ƥ MZUEFS). Other specimens: 2 3 e 3 Ƥ Amazonas, Silves, 01.vi.1997, 6cdc- 1m, no collector name (INPA); 1 3 e 1 Ƥ Amazonas, Silves, área alterada, 29.v.1997, 7 cdc/m, col. TVB/FLS (MZUEFS). Distribution. BRAZIL (Amazonas). Comments. according to Cordeiro & Bravo (2008), this species is likely obligatorily viviparous, making it the only known viviparous species in Psychoda. Four-branched ascoids are found only on two subgenera of Psychoda: Falsologima and Apsycha comb. nov, but in the subgenus Falsologima the females have three-branched ascoids. Although the long setae seen on gonotylus of males of this species is also a character of subgenus Falsologima, the number of apical flagellomeres and the shape of female ascoid clearly separate it from this subgenus. Also, according to original description and key of Ježek (2007), in the subgenus Apsycha the 13 th and 14 th flagellomeres are separated and also 14 th is shortly spindle-shaped, what is not true for P. amazonensis. This species cannot be also assigned to any of other subgenera of Psychoda because of differences between the pattern of fusion of the three apical flagellomeres. Psychoda amazonensis is morphologicaly similar to P. quiniversa Quate (Costa Rica) in the following characters: shape of the antennal apex; pattern of the frons pilosity; female ascoids with 3 upper arms; male with no paramere; ventral pilosity of the gonocoxal bridge; and gonostylus with one long basal setae. However, Psychoda amazonensis has 4 facet rows on the eye bridge, subgenital plate reduced and long gonocoxal bridge, whereas Psychoda quiniversa has 5 facet rows, subgenital plate normal and gonocoxal bridge short. The last character, of diagnostic value according to our observations, is frequently neglected in the descriptions of Psychoda. We believe that more attention should be given to this character, and to the pattern of pilosity of the female subgenital plate and male gonostylus.Published as part of Cordeiro, Danilo, Bravo, Freddy & De, Claudio J.

    SMT-based bounded model checking of multi-threaded software in embedded systems

    No full text
    Our reliance on the correct functioning of embedded systems is growing rapidly. Such systems are used in a wide range of applications such as airbag control systems, mobile phones, and high-end television sets. These systems are becoming more and more complex and require multi-core processors with scalable shared memory to meet the increasing computational power demands. The reliability of the embedded (distributed) software is thus a key issue in the system development. In this thesis we describe and evaluate an approach to reason accurately and effectively about large embedded software using bounded model checking (BMC) based on Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) techniques. We present three major novel contributions. First, we extend the encodings from previous SMT-based bounded model checkers to provide more accurate support for variables of finite bit width, bit-vector operations, arrays, structures, unions and pointers and thus making our approach suitable to reason about embedded software. We then provide new encodings into existing SMT theories and we show that our translations from ANSI-C programs to SMT formulas are as precise as bit-accurate procedures based on Boolean Satisfiability. Second, we develop three related approaches for model checking multi-threaded software in embedded systems. In the lazy approach, we generate all possible interleavings and call the SMT solver on each of them individually, until we either find a bug, or have systematically explored all interleavings. In the schedule recording approach, we encode all possible interleavings into one single formula and then exploit the high speed of the SMT solvers. In the underapproximation and widening approach, we reduce the state space by abstracting the number of interleavings from the proofs of unsatisfiability generated by the SMT solvers. Finally, we describe and evaluate an approach to integrate our SMT-based BMC into the software engineering process by making the verification process incremental. In particular, our approach looks at the modifications suffered by the software system since its last verification, and submits them to a partly static and dynamic verification process, which is thus guided by a set of test cases for coverage. Experiments show that our SMT-based BMC can analyze larger problems and reduce the verification time compared to state-of-the-art techniques that use BMC, iterative context-bounding or counterexample-guided abstraction refinement

    Verifying multi-threaded software using SMT-based context-bounded model checking

    No full text
    We describe and evaluate three approaches to model check multi-threaded software with shared variables and locks using bounded model checking based on Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) and our modelling of the synchronization primitives of the Pthread library. In the lazy approach, we generate all possible interleavings and call the SMT solver on each of them individually, until we either find a bug, or have systematically explored all interleavings. In the schedule recording approach, we encode all possible interleavings into one single formula and then exploit the high speed of the SMT solvers. In the underapproximation and widening approach, we reduce the state space by abstracting the number of interleavings from the proofs of unsatisfiability generated by the SMT solvers. In all three approaches, we bound the number of context switches allowed among threads in order to reduce the number of interleavings explored. We implemented these approaches in ESBMC, our SMT-based bounded model checker for ANSI-C programs. Our experiments show that ESBMC can analyze larger problems and substantially reduce the verification time compared to state-of-the-art techniques that use iterative context-bounding algorithms or counter-example guided abstraction refinement
