Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients

Sisyphus oralensis Daniel & Davis, sp. nov.
No full textSisyphus oralensis Daniel & Davis sp. nov. (Fig. 2a) Diagnosis. Sisyphus oralensis sp. nov. is similar to S. umbraphilus sp. nov., but can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: genae rounded forming obtuse angle with genal suture; less dense cover of long setae on pronotal disc, not distributed uniformly but mostly arranged in a linear pattern separated by bare patches; S. oralensis sp. nov. is smaller than S. umbraphilus sp. nov. (Fig. 2 bi-ii). Description. Size: Male: Length: 3.4–4.8 mm, width: 2.1–2.5 mm. Female: Length: 3.9–4.7 mm, width: 2.1– 2.5 mm. Colour: Dark brown to black. Head: Clypeus with a strong cleft between two medial teeth, deep excavation lateral to each tooth, lateral convex sinuosity between excavation and genal suture, genae rounded forming obtuse angle with genal suture; frons finely punctate and setose, post-occipital suture fully rounded and arciform, eyes reniforme with dark ocular stains, antennae brown. Pronotum: Convex, dark brown, coarsely punctate; anteriorly inclined; central diameter wider than elytra; complete lateral prothoracic ridge separating prothoracic disc and prothoracic episternum; long setae of pronotal disc not uniformly spaced but forming a clear, mostly linear pattern separated by bare patches (Fig. 2 bii). Elytra: Dark brown; narrowed posteriorly; finely punctate; well-spaced; fine curled setae on interstriae. Pygidium: Dark brown; strongly narrowed and "v" shaped towards apical base; finely punctate and setose. Sternites: Abdominal sternites punctate with fine setae arranged in rows; meso- and metasternum black, metallic shiny, and finely punctate; mesepimerum and metepisternum: punctate with fine setae. Legs: Profemur with well-developed setae laterally, punctate ventrally; meso- and metafemur brown, punctate and setose; meso- and metatrochanter contiguous with femur, forming a divergent spine at the tip in latter; promeso- and metatibia setose with single terminal spur, protibia with three teeth; pro- meso- and metatarsus five segmented with two claws; the first tarsal segment of the meso- and meta-thoracic legs with a row of strong setae on the ventral edge. Aedeagus: Phallobase curved dorsally, forming a strong angle with parameres, visible medial line ventrally; parameres nearly symmetrical, separated by membranous area visible dorsally on apical edge; basal edges slightly excavated longitudinally both ventrally and dorsally. (Fig. 2 c) Etymology. We named this species S. oralensis because it is found on the Indian Ocean coastline of South Africa and Mozambique where it is associated with dense woodland and forest.

This new species is confined to dense coastal woodlands and forest from northeast South Africa to at least Central Mozambique (Inhambane, Pomene, Gorongosa, Dondo, Beira) (Fig. 4). Across a vegetation restoration gradient at Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, S. oralensis was absent from grassland cleared of forest, but present in younger and older regenerating woodland (19, 6) plus natural dune forest (14) (Davis et al. 2002). Remarks. Both species (S. umbraphilus sp. nov. and S. oralensis sp. nov.) exhibit little sexual dimorphism, but may be separated by meta- and mesotibia curved; the mid-ventral narrowing of the last abdominal sternite in males; compared to the lack of narrowing, and meta- and mesotibia almost straight in females,Published as part of Daniel, Gimo M., Davis, Adrian Lv. & Scholtz, Clarke H., 2016, Three new Sisyphus species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) from shaded vegetation in southern Africa, pp. 67-74 in Zootaxa 4147 (1) on pages 70-71, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4147.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/26625

The Challenge of Modifying Deviant Behavior: Restructuring Incentives in Renegade Regimes
No full textThis thesis considers whether international coercion used to confront deviant behavior in renegade or rogue regimes produces an offset of the benefits of continued defiant behavior, or produces a restructuring of incentives and a counterproductive result. Much has been written on the effectiveness of international coercion, but little focus has been given to the potential for a pressure to restructure the decision process in a non-desired way. This thesis contrasts the expectations of rational choice and expected-utility theory with prospect theory in the decision calculus of renegade regimes. Finally, this thesis creates a basic model for limited prediction by combining expectations of prospect theory with the incentive offsetting/incentive restructuring (IO/IR) models as proposed by Miroslav Nincic.v, 74 leave
