Thermal expansion anomalies of R(Fe, M)(12) (R=Y, Nd; M=Mo and Si)
No full textStructural and thermal-expansion anomaly studies on R(Fe,M)(12) (R=Nd and and Y, M=Mo and Si) compounds were performed by x-ray diffraction. Mo atoms occupy the 8i site. While Si atoms occupy the 8f and 8j sites but not the 8i site. Thermal-expansion anomaly shows only in ab plane in the Mo compounds, while becomes very weak and along with only the c axis in the Si compounds. The anomaly was attributed to the contribution of the interactions of short Fe-Fe distances similar to the previous explanation on other R-Fe intermetallics and that of other strongly positive interactions such as 8j-8j.

PAO narrow and long, not constricted, 1.5–1.7 as long as width of Ant.I and about twice as long as inner unguis length (1.7–2.1) (Fig. 4). Maxillary outer lobe with 4 sublobal hairs, maxillary palp bifurcate. Labral formula as 4 /5,5,4. Labium with 5 usual papillae (А–Е), full set of guard setae, 3 proximal and 4 basomedian setae.

Sensilla on Ant.IV weakly differentiated. Organite stick-like, slightly swollen at the tip. Sensillary formula as 4,3 /2,2,2,3,5 (s), 1,0/1,0,0 (ms). Tergal sensilla as long or longer than common setae and hardly distinguishable. Sensilla of lateral parts of Th.III–Abd.II (Figs 1–3) longer than others. Medial sensilla on all tergites situated well in front of p-row of setae, on Abd.I–III between Mac 1 and Mac 2. Abd.V with 5 sensilla arranged with 3 dorsal ones (al, accp 1, accp 2) much longer than sensilla on Abd.IV and 2 lateral middle-sized sensilla clearly thicker than other sensilla on Abd.IV and Abd.V (Figs 3, 9, 13). Macrochaetae smooth and long, 1,1 /3,3,3 in number, medial ones on Abd.V 1,6–1,8 times shorter than dens and 4.5–5.1 times longer than mucro (Fig. 1). Seven strong foil setae at the tip of abdomen arranged in two transversal rows as 2 + 2 anterior (fa 1 and fa 3) and 1 + 2 posterior (fp0 and fp 2), respectively. Axial chaetotaxy as 9–11,7 – 8 /4,4,4. Th.III with 2 + 2 (rarely 2 + 3) ventral setae. Unguis of normal shape, without lateral and inner teeth. Empodial appendage 0.5–0.55 as long as unguis. Tibiotarsi with few additional setae, 25–26 and 27–28 on Leg I and II, respectively. Tibiotarsi of Leg III with many setae. Tibiotarsal tenent setae pointed. Ventral tube with 4 + 4 laterodistal and 5 posterior setae, anteriorly without setae. Tenaculum with 4 + 4 teeth and 1 seta. Anterior furcal subcoxae with 8–11, posterior one with 5 setae. Anterior side of manubrium normally with 12–14 setae arranged as 3 + 3, 2 + 2, 1 + 1, 1 + 1. One or two setae missing, so formula can be as 3 + 3, 2 + 2, 1 + 1, 1 +0; 3 + 3, 2 + 2, 1 + 0, 1 +0; 4 + 3, 1 + 2, 1 + 1, 1 + 1 (Fig. 6). Posterior side of manubrium with 4 + 4 laterobasal, 2 apical setae (ap), 3 + 3 setae in distal transversal row (M 1, ml 1, L 1), two pairs of lateral setae (l 1, l 2), and 4 + 4 in central part (m, M 2, L 2, pr). In four individuals studied, no variation of posterior setae of manubrium was observed (Fig. 5). Dens with 23–27 anterior setae, most basal setae considerably enlarged (pointed in Figs 6, 8). Posterior side of dens crenulated, with 6 normal setae (4 basal and 2 at the middle) and one minute seta at the base of mucro (Figs 7, 8). Mucro bidentate. Ratio of manubrium:dens:mucro = 4.6–5.4:7.3– 8,4: 1. Discussion. The group to which the species belongs to is not clear cut. The mid-tergal position of sensilla and many setae on manubrium with 3 + 3 in distal transversal row indicates the binoculata -group (Fjellberg 2007) or spinosa -group (Potapov 2001). These groups never have foil setae distally on the abdomen and have a sensillary pattern on Abd.V unlike in F. c u l t e r. The two lateral thickened sensilla on Abd.V are shared with sensibilis -group (see below). Foil setae and chaetotaxy of furca indicate an affinity with several species of fimetaria -group but the position of tergal sensilla is different. The “ 3 + 3, 1 + 1,...” chaetotaxy of manubrium, the long, narrow PAO, long sensilla, and their mid-tergal position are shared with F. hubeiensis Ding et al. (China: Hubei) which belongs to the newly erected hubeiensis -group (Ding et al. 2006). Following the original description and using our own study of several type specimens, F. hubeiensis differs in its pattern of sensilla on Abd.III (medial sensillum is situated between M 2 and M 3) and on the tip of abdomen (no thickened sensilla), fewer setae on posterior side of dens (3 basal setae instead 4), ventral setae on thorax missing, and other significant features. In many characters F. culter sp. nov. is most similar to F. k u r u s h i c a Potapov, Abdurakhmanov & Aitekova (Russia: Caucasus) and F. tianshanica Martynova (Middle Asia: Tien- Shan). These two species also have an uncertain taxonomic position and differ from F. culter in having three prelabral setae (vs. 4), simple (vs. bifurcate) maxillary palp, weak development of foil setae, ventral setae on Th.III missing, and other features. Distribution and ecology. Known from several forest sites in two basins of East Buryatia. Derivatio nominis. The species is armed with seven strong foil setae (“ culter ” is a knife in Latin).Published as part of Potapov, Mikhail & Chimitova, Ayuna, 2009, Isotomidae (Collembola) of Buryat Republic. Folsomia culter sp. nov and taxonomic value of terminalian chaetotaxy in the genus, pp. 49-56 in Zootaxa 2225 on pages 49-53, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19020
A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

Asymptotic profile of solutions for strongly damped Klein-Gordon equations
No full textWe consider the Cauchy problem in R n for strongly damped Klein-Gordon equations. We derive asymptotic profiles of solutions with weighted L 1,1 (R n ) initial data by a simple method introduced by the second author. Furthermore, from the obtained asymptotic profile, we get the optimal decay order of the L 2 -norm of solutions. The obtained results show that the wave effect will be relatively weak because of the mass term, especially in the low-dimensional case (n = 1,2) as compared with the strongly damped wave equations without mass term (m = 0), so the most interesting topic in this paper is the n = 1,2 cases to compare the difference
