Distribution. Qld, NSW. Hosts. CUNONIACEAE: Ceratopetalum apetalum. ELAEOCARPACEAE: Sloanea woollsii (ASCU, ANIC). EPACRIDACEAE: Trochocarpa laurina (ASCU, ANIC). LAURACEAE: Neolitsea sp. (Martin 1999). ATHEROSPERMATACEAE: Doryphora sassafras (Martin, 1999, ASCU, ANIC). MYRTACEAE: Austromyrtus sp. (Martin 1999); Waterhousea floribunda (ASCU, ANIC). PROTEACEAE: Orites excelsa (ASCU, ANIC). Comments. This species is widespread in tropical, subtropical and temperate rainforests and is now known to occur in both dark and light forms. It is likely that this species will be found in suitable rainforest habitats south to Victoria. The type series collected from far north Queensland is the only sample seen by the author showing sexual dimorphism. Populations sampled by the author from subtropical and temperate areas do not show dimorphism. As pointed out by Martin (1999), the yellow wax of this species is distinctive. This species may be superficially confused with A. coombsi sp. n., a species also with yellow wax, but can be separated by the characters in the key.Published as part of Gillespie, Peter S., 2012, A review of the whitefly genus Aleurocanthus Quaintance & Baker (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Australia, pp. 1-42 in Zootaxa 3252 on pages 12-13, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.24642
Vehicle state estimation from a sports-car application point of view focusing on handling dynamics
No full textConsistent vehicle states and parameters will become a requirement for the effective application of integrated vehicle dynamics control and automatic driving. Besides a basic model-based state estimation algorithm, additional modules, e.g. for the estimation of road grade and slope, and maximal longitudinal and lateral friction coefficients may decide on the quality of estimation when focusing on handling dynamics. Both enhanced complexity and inflexibility of a global vehicle state estimator and, alternatively, interdepended individual estimation modules face major drawbacks. This paper addresses a module based estimation approach to guarantee design flexibility, which has been tested with standard vehicle sensors at ordinary and extreme driving manoeuvres and road conditions to discuss benefits and drawbacks of the proposed modular vehicle state estimation approach
Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ
Muriel Spark as auto-biographer in <i>Curriculum</i> <i>Vitae</i>
No full textExamining Muriel Spark's main aims as an auto-biographer in her work Curriculum Vitae brings important resources in the exploration of the genre of autobiographical writing. This with the theoretical engagement, allows consideration of the critical issues surrounding the roles of author and reader in the construction of the literary self. Spark demands the reader participate in the constructon of textual meaning; overturning the conventions of autobiography, satirising its claims to omniscience and highlighting the impossibility of an authentic voice with regard to the self
Hvad er forfatterskolelitteratur?
No full textPeter Stein Larsen, Martin Gregersen and Tobias SkiverenHvad er forfatterskolelitteratur? (What is literature from author schools?). The article offers an initial characterization of critical attitudes to and conceptions of literature from author schools, which it finds erroneous and prejudiced. It continues to present the three most notable traditions based on a survey of 44 author school débuts. The three traditions are: avant-garde, prose lyricism, and prose realism, and in this connection more specifically a selection of the techniques each tradition utilizes, i.e. conceptualism, unceremonious attitudes and the plausible character portrait.

Universal Constraint Language
No full textTitle: Universal Constraint Language Author: Peter Piják Department / Institute: Department of Software Engineering Supervisor of the master thesis: Mgr. Martin Nečaský, Ph.D. Abstract: Today's software applications are typically compound of system of more application components. By modeling of software, various integrity constraint languages are used for particular parts of model (e.g. OCL for UML class diagrams, Schematron for XML or SQL triggers for relational databases). Constraint expressions need to be converted to expressions over different meta-models. These tasks are non-trivial. In this thesis, a new common language Universal Constraint Language (UCL) for expressing integrity constraints over various data meta-models is introduced. It is formally defined and also its parser is implemented. We also present semi-automatic translating between constraints over various meta-models; and deriving constraints from the introduced language to constraints in specific constraint languages. Keywords: constraint language, model-driven architecture, universal formalis
Economic evaluation of a stratified transport method for Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) juveniles
No full textThe objective of this study was to evaluate a convenient, low-cost modification to conventional transfer methods for Atlantic halibut juveniles. A series of wire mesh cages were stacked within transport tanks creating a stratified transport system (STS), increasing the surface area for settlement and facilitating a more homogeneous distribution of halibut throughout the tank compared with the conventional insulated box (Unstructured, UTS). A stochastic cost-benefit analysis determined investment into a STS to be cost-effective, generating a mean benefit-cost ratio of 1.31 (95% CI, 0.68–2.00) after 2 years and a mean 5-year net present value of 85,176(9546,906–$125,630). The implementation of a STS was found to be technically feasible and economically efficient method to improve Atlantic halibut transport.Peter J. Sykes, Carol A. McClure, Debbie J.
