Parainvenusta Curini-Galletti
Genus Parainvenusta Curini-Galletti gen. nov. Diagnosis: Coelogynoporidae with long paracnida surrounding the genital pore and in the tail. Copulatory organ of the duplex type, containing a convoluted unarmed cirrus. With bursa, and long, muscular genito-intestinal connection. Etymology: The genus name is coined after the genus Invenusta Sopott-Ehlers, 1976, and reflects the superficial similarity between the two taxa.Published as part of Curini-Galletti, Marco, Webster, Bonnie L., Huyse, Tine, Casu, Marco, Schockaert, Ernest R., Artois, Tom J. & Littlewood, Timothy J., 2010, New insights on the phylogenetic relationships of the Proseriata (Platyhelminthes), with proposal of a new genus of the family Coelogynoporidae, pp. 1-18 in Zootaxa 2537 on page 15, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19665

GPU accelerated solution of time fractional diffusion systems
Fractional diffusion systems model a number of important applications, as for example water diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, since the biological tissues are heterogeneous and the signal exhibits a heavy tail which is characteristic of anomalous diffusion [3]. In this talk, we consider a time-fractional diffusion system discretized by a mixed method, consisting of a spectral method along time and a finite difference scheme along space [1]. As the spatial mesh becomes finer, the computational cost becomes very large and prevents getting high accuracy. In this context, our contribution is a suitable parallel implementation on GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) of this model. This massively multi-processors architecture has been recently used in several scientific applications to improve performance of software [4] and to get accurate and accelerated solutions in similar fractional diffusion problems [2]. Experiments show the gain of performance in execution time and accuracy terms of the parallel implementation.

Gulf of Panama, Playa Venado (Veracruz, Panama)(Lat. 8°53’27.07”N; Lon. 79°35’44.16”W), intertidal in silty coarse sand, December 2011: whole mount USNM 1622598) Etymology. The specific epithet is coined on the locality of finding. Description. A minute Duplominona species, about 1.5 mm long. With dot-like rhabdoids, more evident cephalically; clusters of long rhabdoids are present caudally. Caudal tip simple, pointed. Pharynx about midbody (Fig 1 A). Male genital system. With 6 testes in one row. With an ovoid copulatory organ, 50 μm long. Spiny cirrus 35 μm long, provided with about 25 rows of spines. Proximal spines crowded, densely packed, very small, 1.5–2 μm long. Halfway the length of the cirrus, spines change their morphology, and become larger and slenderer, up to 6–7 μm long, less densely packed, and bluntly triangular in shape (Fig 7 C–F). Accessory organ 45 μm across, provided with a stylet 13 μm long. It opens to the outside with its own pore, very close to the female pore. Female genital system. Ovaria and vitellaria as in previous species. With a large pre-penial bursa, with a long vaginal duct, in front of the copulatory organ (Fig 7 B). The female duct continues posteriorly to the bursa and opens just behind the prostatoid organ pore through the female pore. Diagnosis. Species of Duplominona with about 25 rows of triangular spines, 1.5–7 μm long, increasing in size distally. Distal spines bluntly triangular.Published as part of Curini-Galletti, Marco, Carcupino, Marcella, Stocchino, Giacinta A., Leasi, Francesca & Norenburg, Jon L., 2020, New species of Duplominona Karling, 1966 (Platyhelminthes, Proseriata) from the Pacific coast of Panama, pp. 482-498 in Zootaxa 4881 (3) on page 492, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4881.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/428389
