    Sapere Aude — Dare to Be Wise: Elbert D. Glover

    No full text
    Sapere Aude – Dare to Be Wise is a unique editorial conversational interview-type feature. It is an attempt to deep dive into an Academy members’ background, formative experience, and education – specifically, to extract factors that contributed to their development and evolution as a professional, as well as their success as a prominent researcher in the health behavior arena. Every Academy member selected has a different story to tell and numerous models for success will emerge from this exploration of the membership. That said, the first of what we hope to be a series of enlightening interviews is Elbert D. Glover, the founder of The Academy

    Monitilorinae Taylor & Glover 2011

    Subfamily MONITILORINAE Taylor & Glover, 2011 REMARKS This subfamily was introduced for subcircular lucinids with closely spaced commarginal lamellae and fine radial ribs in the interspaces. The single species included in molecular analyses, Monitilora ramsayi (Smith, 1885), forms a separate branch with an unstable position (Taylor et al. 2011, 2014, 2016) but never aligns within any other of the major clades of Lucinidae.Published as part of Taylor, John D. & Glover, Emily A., 2018, Hanging on - lucinid bivalve survivors from the Paleocene and Eocene in the western Indian Ocean (Bivalvia: Lucinidae), pp. 123-142 in Zoosystema 40 (7) on page 136, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2018v40a7, http://zenodo.org/record/373824

    Robust stabilization in the presence of coprime factor perturbations

    No full text
    The robust stabilization problem first suggested by M. Vidyasagar (1986) is considered. The authors examine uncertainty in the nominal system modeled by additive perturbations on the coprime factors of the system. It is demonstrated that the bound on the admissible uncertainty in D. McFarlane and K. Glover (1989) is restrictive in that there exist perturbations of larger size than this bound which are still stabilized. In the present work, the author examine perturbations in certain 'key' directions whose sizes are larger than the robustness margin but do not destabilize the plant.</p

    Leucosphaera Taylor & Glover 2005

    Genus Leucosphaera Taylor & Glover, 2005 Leucosphaera Taylor & Glover, 2005: 331. TYPE SPECIES. — Lucina (Loripinus) salamensis Thiele & Jaeckel, 1931 (original designation). DIAGNOSIS. — Shells small (<10 mm), inflated, thinshelled, white to translucent. Outline ovoid, longer than high. Posterior shell margin often truncated. Shell anteriorly extended. Sculpture of regularly spaced, thin commarginal lamellae.Hinge narrow, normal hinge teeth absent. Small knob lies below the umbones of both valves contiguous with thin flange on the anterior part of the hinge (Fig. 4G, H). Ligament narrow, short, set in shallow groove. Anterior adductor muscle scar short, ovoid to reniform in outline, slightly detached from the pallial line. Pallial line entire, sometimes with dorsal extensions. Shell margin with thin peripheral groove. REMARKS Shells of this newly described genus have been confused with juvenile Anodontia in museum collections but can be separated by the ovoid shape, the regularly spaced, fine commarginal lamellae, and the extremely short, slightly detached anterior adductor muscle scar. The hinge bears a tooth-like central knob extending anteriorly as a flange. We are uncertain whether the knob is homologous with normal cardinal teeth of other lucinids. In addition to the type species and Leucosphaera diaphana n. sp. described below, we are aware of undescribed taxa from the Indo-Pacific, including Philippines, Malaysia, Maldives and the Seychelles.It is likely that Leucosphaera species are widely distributed in offshore muddy habitats but further work is needed to review the genus in detail.Published as part of Glover, Emily A. & Taylor, John D., 2007, Diversity of chemosymbiotic bivalves on coral reefs: Lucinidae (Mollusca, Bivalvia) of New Caledonia and Lifou, pp. 109-181 in Zoosystema 29 (1) on page 116, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.539229
