Phytoecia argus
No full textPhytoecia argus (G. F. Frölich, 1793) (Fig. 1C, Fig. 2A, B) Material examined: Bulgaria: W Stara Planina range, Chepun Mts., 2,5 km NW Golemo Malovo Vill., 42°57’17.9’’N 22°59’06.6’’E, 1065 m., dry calcareous grassland, 11.05.2019, 1 ♂, net sweeping, I. Gjonov leg. (BFUS); the same data, but 42°57’17.5’’N 22°59’12.6’’E, 1078 m., 17.05.2019, 3 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀, hand collection, D. Gradinarov & I. Gjonov leg. (BFUS). All specimens collected by hand collection were found individually around the stems of Trinia glauca (L.) Dumort. (Apiaceae), on the ground (Fig. 1B, C). Species of the genus Seseli L. (Apiaceae) are most commonly cited as host plants of Ph. argus (Bense 1995, Rejzek et al. 2001, Sama 2002, Migliaccio et al. 2007, Hoskovec et al. 2019). Known host plants of Seseli genus are summarized by Rejzek et al. (2001), including the following species – S. pallasii Besser (syn. S. varium Trev.), S. annuum L., S. montanum subsp. tommasinii (Rchb. f.) (syn. S. tommasinii Rchb. f.) and S. devenyense Simonk. Along with this more accepted view, Zettel (2006) and Merkl & Szél (2012) reported a relationship of Ph. argus also with T. glauca from the same plant family for Austria and Hungary, respectively. According to Merkl & Szél (2012), beetles can be found as early as April at the base of both Trinia Hoffm. and Seseli host plants. Adult beetles are active from April to June and the larval development is at the roots of both T. glauca and Seseli spp. (Merkl & Szél 2012). Our record seems to confirm the ability of Ph. argus to use T. glauca as a host plant as well. The distribution of Ph. argus seems to be restricted to the remnants of natural steppe habitats in the Western Palaearctic (Schoppmann 1990, Pokorný 2005, Zettel 2006, Merkl 2008, Shapovalov 2012, Dedyukhin 2016). We conclude that the species may be useful as an indicator species for the assessment of the conservation status of natural steppe habitats in Europe. The mountain petrophytic steppes are widespread in the low mountain regions of Western Bulgaria at an altitude of 500 to 1500 m (Tzonev et al. 2011). The first report of Ph. argus from Bulgaria (Ganev 1984) lacks information on the habitat type and host plant, but petrophytic steppes are also present in the area of the Zemen Gorge. The species is likely to be more widespread in suitable habitats in Western Bulgaria. In faunistic studies, host plants of both Seseli and Trinia genera must be checked for the presence of beetles.Published as part of Gradinarov, Denis & Gjonov, Ilia, 2020, New record of the steppe longhorn beetle species Phytoecia (Musaria) argus (G.

First determination of the CP content of D → ∏+∏−∏0 and D → K +K −∏0
No full textQuantum-correlated View the MathML source decays collected by the CLEO-c experiment are used to perform first measurements of F+, the fractional CP -even content of the self-conjugate decays D→∏+∏−∏0 and D→K+K−∏0. Values of 0.968±0.017±0.006 and 0.731±0.058±0.021 are obtained for ∏+∏−∏0 and K+K−∏0, respectively. It is demonstrated how modes of this sort can be cleanly included in measurements of the unitarity triangle angle γ using B∓→DK∓ decays. The high CP -even content of D→∏+∏−∏0, in particular, makes this a promising mode for improving the precision on γ
Physics with ARGUS
No full textThe impact of the ARGUS experiment to elementary particle physics is reviewed. More than ten years of data taking has allowed ARGUS to contribute significantly to our understanding of beauty and charmed hadrons, τ Leptons, ϒ mesons, ϒϒ interactions and fragmentation processes. In particular the ARGUS measurements of CKM matrix elements opened up a new window on the Standard Model
Epiretinal fibrosis removal in an argus II – implanted eve : Histological Characteristics and Functional Results
No full textPurpose: 1) To investigate morphologic and histochemical characteristics of an epiretinal fibrosis removed in an Argus II-implanted eye; 2) to evaluate the Argus II function before and after the fibrosis removal, and 3) to compare morphologic and functional data.
Methods: Fibrosis, which developed between the Argus II prosthesis and the retina two years after implant, was surgically removed. Its morphologic and histochemical characteristics were evaluated both in light and transmission electron microscopy, with special stains and immunohistochemistry. The Argus II function was evaluated during the follow-up before surgical removal and 1 month later.
Results: Fibrosis was successfully removed. It was composed of a fibrotic tissue with spindle cells arranged in nodular aggregates with a symmetric distribution, mixed with an inflammatory infiltrate. Extra- and intracellular, irregular, small iron particles were found and confirmed ultrastructural characterization with degenerative cellular changes. The repositioned Argus II restored, and its function was partially nearly to normal values 1 month after surgery.
Conclusion: Fibrosis can develop between the Argus II and the retina with increasing reduced function. Morphologic characteristics of the removed fibrosis suggested a pathogenesis based on an inflammatory process involved in a foreign body reaction with progressing connective tissue deposition leading to sclerosis. Adequate clinical follow-up is critical to successful removal of the fibrosis with reactivation of the Argus II function

Scr. 43, p. 607. Jacoby (1882) expressed doubts about the conspecificity of this taxon with C. ramulifera Stål, and this prompted some nomenclature instability by subsequent authors possibly without revising relevant type material, which would have shown at once the remarkable differences between both taxa (e.g., Gómez-Zurita et al. 2006). Bechyné (1952), for instance, proposed that C. argus was but a mere colour variety of C. ramulifera with larger spots on elytra, a stance followed shortly by Blackwelder (1957) in his corrigenda to the Checklist of American beetles, but proposing a subspecific status for the former taxon. Years later, J. Bechyné actually withdraw his earlier opinion explicitly describing several differences found between both species (Bechyné & Springlová de Bechyné 1965), a viewpoint which I completely endorse here. I found two specimens from Mexico, the locality mentioned in the original description, labelled as types, one in the collection in Stockholm (NRM) and one in London (NHM). The original description of C. argus is, like most others, very succinct but it is possible to deduce that it was based on a single specimen, since the author gave a discrete size for the specimen. The specimen at NRM fits these dimensions as well as the other details in the description. The one at NHM was very likely seen by C. Stål because it is labelled "Campeche", an unusual locality mentioned precisely for this species in his later monograph. However, this origin is not given in the orignal description and the size of the specimen has poorer fit with the measures given by C. Stål, therefore, I designate here as lectotype the specimen in the NRM collection. Lectotype by present designation: Mexico / Chevrol. / Type / Typus [red] (NRM). Paralectotype: Campeche, Pilate / Type Stål Coll: Deyrolle / Baly Coll. / argus Stål Mexico [underneath: Type Stål Col. Deyrolle] (NHM). Habitus (Fig. 6 b). Length: 9.39 mm, width: 5.57 mm.

Hypomeral suture (Fig. 1 d) deep, parallel to pronotal margin, curved basally, close but not reaching pronotal base, and regularly curved apically, following basal contour of anterior pronotal angle; hypomera finely shagreened, unpunctured, finely transversely wrinkled at base. Prosternum punctured near coxae; prosternal process narrow between coxae, gradually expanding apically, reaching slightly beyond coxae, cut almost straight at apex. Metepisterna strongly punctured; punctures elongated, dense, confluent at apical 1 / 3. Metaventrite regularly punctured at sides, with fine sparse pubescence. Scutellum narrowly triangular (W/L= 0.7) with sides gently curved; feebly convex, shiny, unpunctured. Elytra slightly broader than pronotum; surface finely and sparsely punctured with brownish minute spots, punctures irregularly scattered except at regular premarginal line; space between premarginal line and margin of elytra smooth, unpunctured; dark markings surrounded by stronger punctures; scutellar row of punctures present.

Penis as in Figs 9 i, 9 j. Distribution. This is one of the species in the group with a wider distribution, ranging from the southern half of Mexico (particularly in the Caribbean domain) to Venezuela, through Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia (Fig. 10). It is one of the three species in this evolutionary lineage that possibly reached the Caribbean NW South American region from its main distribution in the Caribbean Mesoamerican domain in recent times (Montelongo & Gómez-Zurita, 2014).

Development of ovigerous setae as estimator of size at first maturity in Panulirus argus in Cuba
No full textSe propone determinar la talla de primera madurez (LC50) en la langosta Panulirus argus, a partir de las setas
ovígeras con estadio III, comparando el resultado obtenido con el LC50 hallado a partir de la presencia de hueva y/o
espermatóforo. La información provino de muestreos mensuales llevados a cabo desde abril de 2007 hasta marzo
de 2008 en el Golfo de Batabanó, región suroccidental de Cuba, donde se seleccionaron las siete zonas de
monitoreo de La Coloma. De un total de 6 238 langostas hembras muestreadas, se identificaron los estadios de las
setas en 5 232. El LC50 se determinó por el ajuste de una curva logística a las frecuencias de talla acumuladas
relativas, resultando que los valores del LC50 calculados para hembras con setas en estadio III (96,0 mm) y para
hembras con hueva y/o con espermatóforo (95,1 mm) no presentan diferencia significativa. Por lo tanto, en
P. argus, la talla de primera madurez se puede determinar por la presencia de las setas ovígeras en estadio III.
Adicionalmente, los valores del LC50 hallados por vías diferentes constituyen una actualización de este parámetro
poblacional para P. argus en Cuba. La determinación del LC50 a través del estadio III, permite utilizar información
de cualquier época del año y no solo en la estación principal de reproducción (marzo-junio) de la especie.A study to determine Panulirus argus size at first maturity (LC50) based on the pleopods ovigerous setae in
stage III is developed. The comparison with this parameter obtained from females with tar spot and/or eggs is
presented. Data were obtained from biological sampling carried out from April 2007 to March 2008 in La
Coloma’s sampling areas at Gulf of Batabano. From a total of 6 238 female lobsters, 5 232 females with
ovigerous setae in different stages were identified. The LC50 was determined fitting a logistic curve to the size
relative accumulated frequencies. The results obtained demonstrate that LC50 from females with ovigerous
setae in stage III (96,0 mm) is similar with those for female with external eggs and tar spot (95,1 mm). The size
at first maturity in P. argus can be then determined by the presence of ovigerous setae with stage III. These
results by both ways constitute an updating for this population parameter in Cuba. The determination of LC50
by ovigerous setae allows using data from any time of the year and not only during the lobster main reproductive
season (March-June).PublishedCuba, Panulirus argus, ovigereus seta
