The Four Kings of the Forest: A Fable
No full textAlthough named a fable by the author/illustrator, this 20-page story reaches beyond the usual limits of a fable. It tells the story of four kings -- lion, elephant, gorilla, and snake -- who learn from a boy and make him a fifth king. Ingres mold-made paper with color lineoleum block prints. As Powell's description says, "The colors used and the illustrations are charming." Bound by green thread.Signed by Wilson, #244 of 275Joyce Lancaster Wilso

No full textSchizomyia macrocapillata Maia sp. n. (Figs.16–32) Adult. Body length: 1.8–2.3 mm in male (n = 5); 2.4–2.45 mm in female (n = 2, from vertex to posterior margin of tergite 8). Head (Figs. 16, 17): Eye facets hexagonal, closely appressed. Antenna with scape cylindrical, elongate, setose, pedicel globose, setose, male and female flagellomeres cylindrical, flagellomere necks short and bare. Male flagellomeres 9–12 subequal in length (Fig. 18); female flagellomeres 9–12 progressively and conspicuously shortened (Fig. 19). Flagellomeres 1 and 2 not connate. Circumfila sinuous in male (Fig. 20) and linear in female (Fig. 21). Frontoclypeus with 14–16 setae. Labrum longattenuate with 2 pairs of ventral sensory setae. Hypopharynx of same shape as labrum, with long, anteriorly directed lateral setulae. Labella hemispherical, each with several lateral setae and 2 pairs of short mesal sensory setae. Palpus with 4 setose segments: first segment globose, others cylindrical. Thorax: Anepimeron setose, other pleural sclerites asetose. Wing length (from arculus to apex): 1.45–1.60 mm in male (n = 5); 1.9 mm in female (n = 2). First tarsomere without apical spur. Tarsal claws simple, bent beyond midlength; empodia well developed, as long as bend in claws (Fig. 22). Abdomen. Male (Fig. 23): tergites 1–7 rectangular with complete row of posterior setae, several lateral setae, 2 basal trichoid sensilla and elsewhere with scattered scales. Tergite 8 linear with only 2 trichoid sensilla as vestiture. Sternites 2–7 rectangular with setae more abundant at midlength, complete row of posterior setae and 2 basal trichoid sensilla; sternite 8 ovoid with several scattered setae and 2 basal trichoid sensilla. Female (Fig. 24): tergites 1–6 as in male; tergite 7 rectangular with setae more abundant at midlength, complete row of posterior setae and 2 basal trichoid sensilla; tergite 8 notched laterally with only 2 basal trichoid sensilla as vestiture. Sternites 2–6 as in male. Sternite 7 much longer than preceding sternite, with rounded margins, scattered setae and 2 basal trichoid sensilla. Sternite 8 not sclerotized. Male terminalia (Fig. 25): gonocoxites narrow and setose, with apical lobe; gonostylus short cylindrical and setose; cercus reniform, completely separate and setose; hypoproct bilobed and setose; parameres present; aedeagus triangular, tapering gradually toward apex, rounded apically. Ovipositor (Fig. 26) protrusible, 1.3 mm long (from distal margin of tergite 7 to end), (n = 1), needle part 1.9 as long as sternite 7. Cercus distinct, fused. Pupa. Color: pale. Length: 1.9–2.3 mm (n = 4). Head (Fig. 27): antennal base thickened; cephalic seta 0.09–0.1 mm long (n = 4); face without horns; 2 pairs of lower facial papillae (1 pair asetose and other pair with seta 0.06–0.08 mm long, n = 4); 3 pairs of lateral facial papillae (1 pair with seta 0.005 mm long and 2 pairs asetose). Upper cephalic margin thickened laterally. Thorax: prothoracic spiracle digitiform, elongate and slightly curved, 0.06–0.09 mm long (n = 4) (Fig. 28). Abdomen (Fig. 29): segments 2–7 with several conspicuous dorsal spines and anteriorly to them, several short spines and many spinules; segment 8 with shorter dorsal spines and spinules; segment 9 without spines. Larva. Body elongate cylindrical and tapered at both ends. Color: yellow. Length: 2.7 mm (n = 1). Integument rough. Spatula with 2 welldeveloped teeth and long stalk; sternal papillae setose; 3 pairs of lateral papillae on each side of spatula (Fig.30) (2 pairs setose, 1 pair asetose). Abdominal segment 8 with medial projection bearing pair of papillae setose; terminal segment convex, with 4 pairs of papillae (1 pair corniform, 3 pairs setiform) (Fig. 31). Gall (Fig. 32). The spherical gall is on the adaxial leaf surface, has a cover of long orange to reddish hairs, and is single chambered. A single larva is found inside the gall. At the beginning of gall formation, the trichomes are whitishpinkish but change color as the gall matures. When exposed directly to sunlight, the trichomes become reddishorange. Material examined. Holotype male. BRAZIL, Minas Gerais: Três Marias, XII.2004, F. Almeida leg., MNRJ. Paratypes: same data as holotype: 3 males and 2 females. Same locality, 02.XI.2004, G. W. Fernandes leg.: 7 males, 3 pupae, 1 pupal exuvia and 1 larva. Pirapitinga, II.1999, G. W. Fernandes leg.: 2 males and 4 pupal exuviae, MNRJ. Etymology. The name macrocapillata is composed of makros (long) + capillus (hair), and refers to the presence of the long hairs on the gall surface. Remarks. Schizomyia macrocapillata is easily distinguished from other Schizomyia species, mainly due to the presence of a distinct female cercus. Additionally, male tergite 8 is linear and asetose with two trichoid sensilla, the ovipositor is 1.3 mm long, the larva has setose sternal papillae, and the pupa has the antennal base thickened. Previous studies on these galls identified the gallinducing insect as Contarinia (Fernandes & Price 1992; Cornelissen et al. 1997, 2002; Fernandes & Cornelissen 1997; Fernandes 1998; Cornelissen & Fernandes, 2001a, 2001b, 2000c; Fernandes et al. 2000), probably an inquiline.Published as part of Maia, Valéria Cid & Fernandes, G.

From the Roman Republic to the American Revolution: readings of Cicero in the political thought of James Wilson
No full textAs a classical scholar and prominent founding father, James Wilson was at once statesman, judge, and political thinker, who read Cicero as an example worthy of emulation and as a philosopher whose theory could be applied to his own age. Classical reception studies have focused on questions of liberty, civic virtue, and constitutionalism in the American founding, and historians have also noted Wilson’s importance in American history and thought. Wilson’s direct engagement with Cicero’s works, however, and their significance in the formulation of his own philosophy has been long overlooked. My thesis argues that Wilson’s viewpoint was largely based on his readings of Cicero and can only be properly understood within this context. In the first two chapters of my thesis I demonstrate that Wilson not only possessed a wide-ranging knowledge of the classics in general, but also that he borrowed from Cicero’s writings and directly engaged with the texts themselves. Building upon this foundation, chapters three and four examine Cicero’s perspective on popular sovereignty and civic virtue, situate Wilson’s interpretations within contemporary discussions of Roman politics, and analyse the main ways in which he adapts Cicero’s arguments to his own era. Wilson retains a broader faith in the common people than seen in Cicero’s opinions, and he abstracts from Cicero a doctrine of sovereignty as an indivisible principle that is absent in the text; nevertheless, Cicero’s conception of a legitimate state and his insistence on the role of the people provided the foundation for Wilson’s thought and ultimately for his legitimization of the American Revolution. At the same time, like Cicero, Wilson views the stability of the state as resting in the personal virtue of the individual. While his enlightenment philosophy imparts optimism to his conception of the good citizen, his definition of virtue closely follows that of Cicero. As the final chapter of my thesis concludes, their individual interpretations of these theories of popular consent and virtue were instrumental in forming Cicero’s and Wilson’s justifications of civil disobedience
Building Value-added Services for Institutional Repositories (IRs): Modeling the Rutgers Experience
No full textInstitutional repositories (IR) are largely unpopulated due to insufficient faculty experience in self-archiving (Kim, 2010), to inadequate marketing efforts to popularize the advantages of IRs (Jantz & Wilson, 2008), and to lack of faculty awareness regarding the unsustainable costs of traditional means of scholarly communication (Darnton, 2010). This paper explores a number of IR services at Rutgers that, collectively, add significant value to the university’s IR by facilitating scholarly communication and by preserving digital content.... Harnessing faculty self interest to these technological innovations is the surest mechanism for creating a bridge to the sustainable development of high quality research and a major factor in the success of institutional repositories.Submitted by Lynne Rudasill ([email protected]) on 2011-07-31T03:39:23Z
