The new species <i>Tropobracon shafeei</i> Haider sp.nov. is closely related to <i>T. luteus</i> Cameron. However, it differs from <i>T. luteus</i> in having (i) face smooth medio­ventrally and somewhat finely transversally rugulose behind antennal sockets (in <i>T. luteus</i> face granulate), (ii) scutellum medio­anteriorly with a distinct pit (in <i>T. luteus</i> scutellum without pit medio­anteriorly), (iii) metapleuron finely punctulate (in <i>T. luteus</i> metapleuron finely rugose), (iv) propodeum coarsely granulate (in <i>T. luteus</i> propodeum coarsely and densely reticulate­rugose, but with a narrow part smooth), (v) vein cu­a of fore wing interstitial (in <i>T. luteus</i> vein cu­a of fore wing antefurcal), (vi) vein 1r­m of hind wing about 2.0 times longer than vein 2­SC+R (in <i>T. luteus</i> vein 1r­m of hind wing about as long as vein 2­SC+R), (vii) grooves of second metasomal tergite not meeting each other and not reaching second metasomal suture, resulting without a distinct triangular area (in <i>T. luteus</i> grooves of second metasomal tergite reaching second metasomal suture, resulting in a large triangular area).</p>Published as part of <i>Haider, A.

    In English.This book is a compilation of the bench experience of leading experts from various research labs involved in the cutting edge area of research. The authors describe the use of stem cells both as part of the combinatorial therapeutic intervention approach and as tools (disease model) during drug development, highlighting the shift from a conventional symptomatic treatment strategy to addressing the root cause of the disease process. The book is a continuum of the previously published book entitled "Stem Cells: from Drug to Drug Discovery" which was published in 2017.Tsvelaya, Valeria A. / Gam, Anna / Aziz, Jenna / Efimov, Igor R. -- Navarengom, Keron / Ferrante, Elisa A. / Rasmussen, Todd E. / Boehm, Manfred -- Haider, Khawaja Husnain / Aslam, Muhammad -- Law, Peter K. / Law, Danlin M. / Ye, Lei / Haider, Khawaja Husnain / Song, Shi Jun / Lu, Ping / Ma, Jian-Hua / Ren, Jun -- Riazuddin, S.

    Numerical Analysis of Conformal UC-PBG Structures

    Published by and copyright of Progress in Electromagnetics Research M. The definitive version of this article is available at: http://www.jpier.org/PIERM/pier.php?paper=11073001In this paper, the performance of conventional Uniplanar\ud Compact Photonic Band Gap (UC-PBG) structures is investigated\ud under different bending extents. The structure under study is operated\ud as an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) in which performance\ud is mainly characterized by its resonant frequency and bandwidth.\ud Modelling and numerical analysis have been carried out using CST\ud Microwave Studio simulation software which is based on Finite\ud Integration Technique (FIT). Results show that different bending\ud extents affect the AMC's performance which is specified by a shift\ud to higher resonant frequencies and bandwidth degradation when the\ud degree of bending is increased. Furthermore, we point out some\ud important simulation tips to avoid inaccurate and/or invalid results.\ud This type of study is important to evaluate the performance of such\ud structures for conformal applications. To the best of the authors'\ud knowledge, such type of systematic study is being reported for the\ud first time.This research was funded in part by the National Science Foundation\ud Grants (NSF EPSCoR) EPS-0701890 and CNS-0619069
