Cui non risere parentes
No full textThe old textual problem in Vergil, Bucolics, 4, 62f. (divergence between the text as transmitted by Vergil’s manuscripts and commented by Servius, and the text as quoted by Quintilian, inst. 9. 3, 8) is examined anew. The arguments of the supporters of Quintilian’s text (as emended by Politian and Bonnell) are scrutinized and criticized. New intertextual links are pointed to, suggesting that after all the Vergilian paradosis (cui non risere parentes) was already echoed in Horace’s Ars
Tubifex conicus He, Wang & Cui 2012
No full textTubifex conicus He, Wang & Cui, 2012 (Figs 7–8) Tubifex conicus He, Wang & Cui, 2012: 160 –162, Fig. 1. New material. IHB XZ20150602 a–e, 5 mature specimens, whole-mounted in Canada balsam, from Gyaring Co, preserved in IHB, CAS. Gyaring Co (30°58' 43″N, 88°28′04″E), a lake located in northern Tibet of China, ca. 4,648–4,659 m asl. Water depth 11–37 m, water temperature 6.3–8.9°C, pH 6.3–8.9, dissolved oxygen 7.3–7.7 mg / L, conductivity 323–329 µs/cm. Collected by Yongde Cui and Baoqiang Wang on 2 June 2015. Description. Length 6.1–11.6 mm, width at genital segments X–XI 0.28–0.42 mm. Segments 38–65. Prostomium obtuse. Clitellum inconspicuous. No coelomocytes. Dorsal chaetae (0) 1 hair and 1–4 bifids per bundle. Hairs serrate, posteriorly generally absent (Fig. 7A, B). Dorsal bifids pectinate, upper and lower tooth subequal, with 2–3 fine intermediate teeth (Fig. 7A). Ventral chaetae bifid, 3–4 per bundle anteriorly, 2 per bundle posteriorly, upper tooth slightly longer than lower, with (0) 1–2 fine intermediate teeth (Fig. 7C, D). Ventral chaetae in X present, unmodified. Ventral chaetae in XI absent. Male pores paired in line with ventral chaetae, middle to posterior of XI. Chloragogen cells from VI onwards. Male genitalia paired in X–XI. Sperm funnel cup-shaped, 20 µm long, 40 µm wide (Fig. 8A,B: sf). Vas deferens 400–560 µm long, 12–15 µm wide, nearly 3–4 times as long as atrium, ciliated throughout and entering atrium apically (Fig. 8A, B: vd). Atrium spindle-shaped, 120–160 µm long, maximally 32–40 µm wide (Fig. 8A, B: at). Ejaculatory duct present. Prostate gland solid, 80–84 µm long, 60–64 µm wide, attached to ental portion of atrium (Fig. 8A, B: pr). Penis inconspicuous, surrounded by cuticular, symmetrical and funnel-shaped penial sheath. Penial sheath 36–40 µm long, 48–56 µm wide at ental end (Fig. 8A, B, C: ps). Testes paired in X, immediately behind septum 9/10. Ovaries paired in XI, immediately behind septum 10/11. Spermathecae absent. Remarks. The main difference of our redescription from T. conicus as originally described (He et al. 2012) is the absence of spermathecae. However, after our reinvestigation of the type series (holotype and paratypes), we are sure that the testes of T. conicus were mistaken for spermathecae in the original description. Further slight differences between the descriptions concern thickness of atrial epithelium (thicker in the redescription) and penial sheaths (thicker in the original description). They may relate to the stage of maturity or to different modes of interpretation of observations. The size and shape of atria in the original observation and this research are about the same. Penial sheaths appear to have a thick cuticle laterally in the holotype, but when comparing type series and our material, we found no significant differences in penial sheath thickness. Distribution and habitat. Known from Yamdrok Yumco (Lake Yamzho Yumco), Gyaring Co, Chargut Co, Uruni Co, Chikui Co, Amdo Tsonak Co, Tibet, China. All these lakes are located at above 4,000 m asl in Tibet. Gyaring Co, the locality of present redescribed materials, is about 300 km from the holotype locality of T. conicus, Yamdrok Yumco. Freshwater and brackish water.Published as part of Cui, Yongde, 2017, Four species of Tubifex Lamarck (Annelida: Oligochaeta: Naididae) from Tibet, China, pp. 366-378 in Zootaxa 4320 (2) on pages 371-372, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4320.2.10, http://zenodo.org/record/89195

Beijing Olympic TV Transmission Tower
No full textTower summit, close view showing cross-bracing; The Ling Long Pagoda or Linglong Tower (Multifunctional Studio Tower) houses a part of the International Broadcast Center (IBC) [for the Olympic Games]. It is located near the Olympic Cauldron, on the northwest side of the Bird's Nest Stadium. "Ling Long" means delicate, and is referred to as the Delicate Tower in Chinese. The permanent structure is a three-sided tower. The tower contains 6 habitable pods with open space in between. One of the pods displays the Olympic rings. It is 128 m tall, with 7 habitable floors, each an equilateral triangle. The floors are subdivided into two levels. The glass-walled pods are held up by three supporting ribs at the three corners. After fierce competition for the project in 2007, the design work was won by Cui Kai, Fu Xiaoming, Kang Kai, Zhang Junying, architects of the Cui Kai Studio at the China Design Institute.

Politica e pianificazione linguistica (PPL) nella Repubblica Popolare Cinese, fra interventi sulle lingue e (auto/etero) rappresentazioni. Note in margine a una traduzione
No full textLanguage Policy and Planning (LPP) in the People’s Republic of China, be- tween Language Interventions and (Self /Hetero) Representation. Marginal Notes of a Translation
The aim of this paper is to present some relevant themes of Language Policy and Planning in the People’s Republic of China focusing on two key terms: fangyan (often translated as ‘dialects’) and ‘language harmony’ (yuyan hexie ). Both of them do not belong to the western linguistic tradi- tion and are therefore of particular interest. The paper examines official texts from the last ten years

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

L'Année Philologique (Bibliographie critique et analytique de l'antiquité gréco-latine) LXXV. Bibliographie de l'année 2004 et compléments d'années antérieures
No full textBibliografia dell'anno 2004. L'Année Philologique è la più importante bibliografia del mondo concernente l'antichità classica, fondata da J. Marouzeau nel 1924, e poi pubblicata ogni anno (per questo si configura altresì come una rivista, con nr. ISSN). Divisa in due grandi sezioni (1. Auteurs et textes, 2. Matières et disciplines), con circa 20.000 items bibliografici all'anno, e corredata da un ricco apparato di indici, è ora il frutto del lavoro congiunto di 7 redazioni internazionali (Parigi, Genova-Bologna, Heidelberg, Cincinnati, Granada, Victoria BC e Losanna), e viene edita in formato cartaceo ed elettronico (al sito www.annee-philologique.com). Il lavoro della redazione bolognese, coordinata da C. Neri, consiste in particolare nella schedatura (registrazione dei dati bibliografici e abstract critico di ogni contributo su rivista o in miscellanea) di una novantina di periodici specializzati, e di numerose miscellanee e monografie. Al lavoro della redazione bolognese (che produce oggi, insieme a Parigi, la parte più grossa della schedatura), collaborano - insieme a C.
