Neomaenas poliozona subsp. eustephanos Matz, stat. nov.
No full textNeomaenas poliozona eustephanos Matz stat. nov., nom. nov. (Figs. 7 F; 26) (objective replacement name for Neomaenas poliozona reedii (Butler, 1881) (Neosatyrus) under ICZN Art. 60.3 (1999)). Holotype: (male) BMNH Type No. Rh 3872 Type Location: Chile Distribution. Found in Chile from the southwestern part of Bío-Bío province to Araucanía province at 50–200m from January to early March (Fig. 26). Though the range of N. poliozona eustephanos is similar to that of N. poliozona poliozona, populations are allopatric. Ecological factors that separate these two subspecies are unknown and in need of further study. Diagnosis. Identical to N. poliozona poliozona, but lacking the black spots on the ventral side of the hindwing, darker in color, and having a ripple pattern in dark chocolate striations over the hindwing. Redescription. Head: Palps with a longitudinal black stripe bordered dorsally with a cream to white stripe. Dorsal side piliform scales on the palps are black and scales on the ventral side are black and tan. Forewing (Fig. 7 F): Dorsal side chocolate to dark chocolate brown, females with a patch of rust orange that extends from the discal cell to subterminal band. Postmedian band appears on the dorsal side of some males as a pair of rectangular patches between M 3 and CuA 2. Apical ocellus between M 1 -M 3 appearing in some specimens as a round black spot. Ventral side similar in color to the dorsal side with a rust orange patch extending from the discal cell to the subterminal band, the postmedian band slightly lighter and bordered in dark chocolate. A ripple pattern with dark chocolate to dark coffee striations that extend along the costa and subterminal band. Hindwing (Fig. 7 F): Dorsal side similar in color to the forewing, postmedian band appearing in rust orange from M 1 to the inner margin in females and rust red to rust orange in patches from M 2 to CuA 1 and from CuA 2 to the inner margin. Postmedian band may not appear in darker specimens. Ventral side dark taupe to warm medium brown with a ripple pattern appearing in dark chocolate to dark coffee over the entire wing. Postmedian band is a saturated lavender, edged on the median side in dark chocolate. Hindwing ocelli rarely appear as small, round, black spots between Rs-M 1, M 1 -M 2, or CuA 1 -CuA 2. Remarks. The taxon bearing the name Neosatyrus reedii Butler, 1881 has been regarded previously as a separate species in a separate genus from N. poliozona poliozona by its original author and by Weymer (1911), and synonymized with N. poliozona by Ureta (1956) and Lamas & Viloria (2004). Herrera (1966) placed reedii in Neomaenas and noted its similarity to poliozona in genitalic features, also but differences in distribution and wing pattern, remarking that it may be a legitimate subspecies of N. poliozona. Our decision to synonymize Spinantenna Hayward, 1953, with Neomaenas Wallengren, 1858, means that Neomaenas reedii (Butler, 1881) (now viewed as a subspecies of N. poliozona) becomes a secondary junior homonym of Neomaenas reedi (Reed, 1877), under Arts. 57.3. 1 and 58.14 of the ICZN Code (ICZN 1999), because the latter is has priority as an available name, even though it is considered a subjective junior synonym of N. tristis (Guerin-Ménéville, [1830]). Etymology. the name refers to the purple submarginal band on the HWV. Specimens examined.

Augustine, the Carolingians, and Double Predestination
No full textThe contributors to Grace for Grace focus on the debates on grace and free will inspired by Augustine\u27s later teachings on grace ad the various reactions to it. Based on fresh study of a wealth of primary sources, this international team of scholars explores the intra-Church debates over grace and free will after Augustinje and Pelagius. In both popular and scholarly literature, the conflict has been traditionally referred to as the Semi-Pelagian Controversy. For several decades, however, scholars have been distancing themselves from that simplistic and inaccurate portrayal. This book intends to solidify a disparate movement of scholarly thought and provide a secure basis for renewal study of the persons, texts, and events of a critical period in the reception of Augustine in the Early Middle Ages.

Julian of Aeclanum as a biblical exegete
No full textThis chapter introduces Julian of Aeclanum, the biblical exegete. The point of departure is a brief overview of characteristic exegetical and hermeneutical techniques deployed by Julian in his extant writings against Augustine. Further sections focus on the biblical commentaries that are attributed to Julian, on Hosea, Joel and Amos, the Song of Songs, entitled On Love (De amore), and the book of Job. Recognizing the hypothetical nature of these attributions to Julian, the chapter argues in favour of their probability and potential for restoring a more rounded intellectual persona of Julian of Aeclanum as a Late Antique ecclesiastical author, who is defined not solely by his polemics against Augustine and his Pelagian leanings but also by his own genuine and original contribution to Latin Patristic hermeneutics, theology, and exegesis
Individual Room Control for Hotels
No full textPráce se zabývá systémy individuální prostorové regulace (IPR) - hlavně těmi jež jsou využitelné v hotelech. Otázka regulace je pojata komplexně a mj. v souvislosti se systémy pro správu budovy (SSB), které tvoří širší rámec problematiky. Na základě detailního rozboru jednotlivých systémů a analýzy dat z hotelového pokoje je formulováno doporučení na optimální regulaci hotelových pokojů. Ta má za cíl maximální energetické úspory za současného zachování uživatelského komfortu. Vlastní analýza je zpracována na základě týdenního vývoje teplotně-tolerančních časových pásem a údajů o obsazenosti a pronajatosti hotelového pokoje řízeného systémem správy pokoje (SSP). Tato data jsou interpretována prostřednictvím softwarového nástroje Inncontrol T. To napovídá, že prakticky studovaným systémem je Honeywell Inncom. Závěrem analýzy je, že optimální regulaci hotelového pokoje poskytují systémy pro správu pokoje. Regulace založená na příjmu časových programů z SSB je oproti nim do hotelů nevhodná. Ostatní technologie IPR naopak postrádají možnost regulace nezávisle na hotelových hostech a personálu. K závěru že SSP poskytují velké zlepšení efektivity a úspory docházejí i jiné studie, které jsou taktéž rozebírány. Součástí práce je demonstrační panel osazený řídicími moduly a senzory. S panelem je možné bezdrátově komunikovat buď pomocí počítače nebo tabletu a sledovat údaje zaznamenané prostorovým termostatem.The subject of this work is individual room control (IRC) - especially the systems used in a hotel. The topic of control is understood broadly and among others in the context of BMS or Building Management Systems that form a wider framework of the issue. On the basis of a detailed analysis of the respective systems and the analysis of hotel room data, a recommendation is given on the optimal control for hotel rooms. Its goal is to maximise energy savings while simultaneously maintaining the user?s comfort. The author?s own analysis is based on a week-long behaviour of the thermal-toleration bands and the occupancy and rent status data in a hotel room managed by the Room Management System (RMS). This data is interpreted using the Inncontrol T software tool. That suggests that the system studied in practice is Honeywell Inncom. The result of the analysis is that Room Management Systems provide optimal control of a hotel room. Compared to these, control based on receiving time programmes from the BMS is inappropriate for hotels. On the contrary, other IRC technologies lack the option of a guest- and staff-independent control. Other analysed studies also confirm that the RMS brings large efficiency improvements and savings. A emonstration panel fitted with control modules and sensors, makes an integral part of this work. It is possible to communicate wirelessly with it using either a computer or a tablet and observe the data captured by the room thermostat

Atrevida: Game Programming Tutorials
No full textAlthough it is labeled as an introduction to PC game programming, the tutorials given on Atrevida additionally cover many aspects of mathematics and general computer science. A modest background in the C language is suggested, but many of the sections involve more theory than actual programming. There are nearly twenty topics that explain basic computer operation, graphics programming, and the 80x86 assembler. A very interesting section describes sound waves and compression techniques, while another provides an overview of binary arithmetic and the octal and hexadecimal number systems. Many more items are listed on the main page, but are without links. This could indicate a substantial addition to the site being prepared by the author
