A study on the taxonomy of some stoloniflorous species of Ficus subsection Sycocarpus (Moraceae) in Thailand and Malesia
No full textThe taxonomy of several, mainly stoloniflorous, Ficus species from Thailand and Malesia is revised resulting in a new species, F. bukitrayaensis C.C. Berg and two new names, F. malayana C.C. Berg & Chantarasuwan and F. ridleyana C.C. Berg & Chantarasuwan. Ficus megaleia Corner and F. uncinata (King) Becc. are redefined and F. heterostyla Merr. is reinstated. Ficus arfakensis King and F. scortechinii King are reduced to synonyms of F. ribes Blume

Topelius i serieformat : Interikonicitet som visuell berättarstrategi i Bovils Fältskärns berättelser
No full textBo “Bovil” Vilson (1910-1949) belonged to the graphic artists who in the 1940s created a Swedish tradition of adventure comics drawn in the realistic style of Hal Foster and Alex Raymond. Between 1942 and 1944 Bovil published a serialised graphic novel adaptation of the late 19th-century bestseller Fältskärns berättelser (The Surgeon’s Stories), a historical novel written in the manner of Sir Walter Scott by the Finland-Swedish author Zacharias Topelius (1818-1898). Revolving around the role of the Swedish troops in the Thirty Years’ War and The Great Northern War, The Surgeon’s Stories was crucial (both in Finland and in Sweden) to building and redefining the nation in the late 19th century. My assumption is that the revisitation of the novel in the popular comics format in the early 1940s depended on the demand for national solidarity and heroic role models which arose during the years of the Second World War. This essay explores the visual glossary in Bovil’s adaptation which incorporates and paraphrases Carl Larsson’s famous illustrations to The Surgeon’s Stories as well as classic history paintings celebrating the king, the nation and the sacrificing soldier. I attempt to find answers to why the creators of the comics returned to Topelius’s tales of historical conflicts during WWII, how the inter-iconic dialogue between comic art and the fine arts works and what its ambitions may have been
Historic tree at Mission Carmel (San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo) in Monterey, ca.1888
No full textPhotograph of the historic tree at Mission Carmel (San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo) in Monterey, ca.1888. The tree stands at center, growing from the slope of a hill that feeds into the dry ravine at left. In the background left, the gaurd rail of a bridge can be seen.; "Viscaino hung bell on this tree and held mass in 1602 and Father Juniper Serra utilized it for the same purpose June 3, 1770 when he first landed to establish a mission for Saint Charles. [Also the boat was tied here.] The tree fell early in 1900 and the trunk was removed to the garden at rear of San Carlos Mission in Monterey. Photo made by a Mr. Adams [a photographer of Monterey about 1890] abt. 1880 and [negative] purchased from him about 1895 by C.C. Pierce". -- Unknown author
Sterkte en vervorming van waterbouwasfaltbeton (I)
No full text-Bereiding van proefstukken waterbouwasfaltbeton op lab-schaal met een constante kwaliteit blijkt tot de mogelijkheden te behoren. Bij 7% bitumen kan de verdichting vermoedelijk lichter zijn dan de standaardmethode voor wegenbouwmengsels om een holle ruimteniveau van circa 4% te bereiken. Het is de vraag of dit ook bij 6, 5% bitumen het geval kan zijn. -Het kruip- en rekonderzoek geeft als duidelijke indicatie, dat de vervorming en S-modulus mede afhankelijk zijn van het type normaalspanning. Intensiever onderzoek, mede met het oog op de spreiding in resultaten, zal moeten uitwijzen, hoe die afhankelijkheid precies is. - Bij de bezwijkproeven blijkt de sterkte mede afhankelijk van het type normaalspanning. Dit is veel minder het geval bij de resulterende vervormingen. Als gevolg van beide is toch de S-modulus sterk afhankelijk van het feit, of deze met druk- of trekspanningen is bepaald. - Bij alle proeven blijkt de grote invloed van de temperatuur en vervormingssnelheid op het vervormingsgedrag en de sterkte. -Voor een betere interpretatie van de splijtproeven is het noodzakelijk de horizontale vervormingen te meten, zodat de S-modulus kan worden vastgesteld. - Het totaal aan stijfheidsmoduli geeft een band als "mastercurve". De met drukspanningen bepaalde waarden liggen in het algemeen op een hoger niveau dan de met trekspanningen bepaalde waarden. -Voor de bepaling van het hogere stijfheidsniveau moeten dynamische onderzoeksmethoden worden gehanteerd.TAW A4 Asfalttoepassinge
Measurements of psi(3686) -> k-lambda(Xi)over-bar(+) + c.c. and psi(3686) -> gamma k-lambda(xi)over-bar(+) + c.c.
No full textÇetin, Serkant Ali (Dogus Author)Using a sample of 1.06 x 10(8) psi(3686) events produced in e(+)e(-) collisions at root s = 3.686 GeV and collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we present studies of the decays psi(3686) -> K-Lambda(Xi) over bar (+) + c.c. and psi(3686) -> gamma K-Lambda(Xi) over bar (+) + c.c. We observe two hyperons, Xi(1690)(-) and Xi(1820)(-), in the K-Lambda invariant mass distribution in the decay psi(3686) -> K-Lambda(Xi) over bar (+) + c.c. with significances of 4.9 sigma and 6.2 sigma, respectively. The branching fractions of psi(3686) -> K-Lambda(Xi) over bar (+) + c.c., psi(3686) -> K-Sigma(0)(Xi) over bar (+) + c.c, psi(3686) -> gamma chi cJ -> gamma K-Lambda(Xi) over bar (+) + c.c (J = 0, 1, 2), and psi(3686) -> Xi(1690/1820)(-)(Xi) over bar (+) + c.c with sub-sequent decay Xi(1690/1820)(-) -> K-Lambda are measured for the first time

Five new species are described for the Malesian region: F. carinata, F. matanoensis, F. saruensis, F. sclerosycia, and F. subcaudata. Ficus pubinervis Blume and F. minor King are reduced to subspecies of F. nervosa Roth
Search for the rare decays J/psi -> D(0)e(+) e(-) + c.c. and psi(3686) -> D(0)e(+) e(-) + c.c.
No full textKolcu, Onur Buğra (Arel Author)Using the data samples of (1310.6 +/- 7.2) x 10(6) J/psi events and (448.1 +/- 2.9) x 10(6) psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the rare decays J/psi -> D(0)e(+) e(-) + c.c. and psi(3686) -> D(0)e(+) e(-) + c.c. No significant signals are observed and the corresponding upper limits on the branching fractions at the 90% confidence level are determined to be B(J/psi -> D(0)e(+) e(-) + c.c.) D(0)e(+) e(-) + c.c.) D(0)e(+) e(-) + c.c.) is more stringent by 2 orders of magnitude than the previous results, and B(psi(3686) -> D(0)e(+) e(-) + c.c.) is measured for the first time
