Lamellilatirus Lyons & Snyder 2008
No full textGenus Lamellilatirus Lyons & Snyder, 2008 Type species. Fusus ceramidus Dall, 1889, Recent, Barbados, by original designation (Lyons & Snyder, 2008: 236). Diagnosis. Shell: small to medium size, fusiform, light-weight, with columellar folds faint or (usually) lacking and with abundant scale-like lamellae on sutural ramp. Radula: rachidian tooth subquadrate, longer than wide, with 3 forward-directed cusps, median cusp longest; lateral tooth wide, with single small cusp at medial edge, flanked by larger, mesially slanting saw-toothed cusps; much smaller cusp near lateral margin separated from others by wide gap (Lyons & Snyder 2008: 228, fig. 3a, after Bullock 1968). Remarks. Absence of columellar folds is common among genera of Fusininae but also occurs among some genera of Peristerniinae, e.g. the Indo-west Pacific genus Fusolatirus Kuroda & Habe, 1971, but the radula of Fusolatirus has alternating long and short cusps on lateral teeth (Kuroda & Habe 1971: 182). Bullock (1968: pl. 8) figured radulae of several Western Atlantic species of Peristerniinae now in Polygona Schumacher, 1817, Hemipolygona Roveretto, 1899, Pustulatirus Vermeij & Snyder, 2006, Bullockus Lyons & Snyder, 2008 and Lamellilatirus. Of these, the Lamellilatirus radula resembles those of species now classified in Pustulatirus, but shells of that genus have distinct columellar folds (Lyons & Snyder 2013a). The Lamellilatirus radula also resembles those of some species of the Indo-west Pacific genus Benimakia Habe, 1958 (see Bouchet & Snyder 2012: figs. 3A–F), but shells of that genus have a labral tooth that is absent in Lamellilatirus. In studies of molecular phylogeny of Fasciolariidae (Couto et al. 2016: 314, 315; Kantor et al. 2018: 4, 14), a species of Lamellilatirus from French Guiana (IM 2013-56511) grouped with species of Latirus Montfort, 1810, Leucozonia Gray, 1847 and Polygona Schumacher, 1817 (genera customarily placed in Peristerniinae), not with genera of Fusininae. Five species of Lamellilatirus have been described: L. ceramidus (Dall, 1889) and L. dominiquei, L. eburneus, L. lamyi and L. sunderlandorum, all of Lyons and Snyder, 2013. Species of Lamellilatirus were known previously only in the southern Caribbean Sea, ranging from Puerto Rico and Honduras southward to Venezuela. Two new species described here extend the range of the genus to northeastern South America.Published as part of Lyons, William G. & Snyder, Martin Avery, 2019, Fasciolariidae (Gastropoda: Neogastropoda) of French Guiana and nearby regions, with descriptions of two new species and comments on marine zoogeography of northeastern South America, pp. 239-268 in Zootaxa 4585 (2) on pages 254-255, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4585.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/263730

Bob is survived by his; beloved wife Joan M. Lyons (nee Lang); children, Joanne Jenkins (Ken), Robert P., M.D. (Renee), Richard (Leanne), David (Julie), and Gregory. He will also be missed by his 11 grandchildren. Bob Lyons, the author of Palestra Pandemonium: A History of the Big 5, and On Any Given Sunday: A Life of Bert Bell, and co-author of The Eagles Encyclopedia (with Ray Didinger) and Big Al: Fifty Years of Adventures in Sports Broadcasting (with Al Meltzer) has been president of his own suburban-Philadelphia-based editorial services and public relations firm, since 1995. He has provided professional services to a variety of organizations including the Associated Press, Brandywine Global Investment Management, La Salle University, Merrill Lynch, Elf Atochem, Princeton University, and Philadelphia’s WHYY-TV, among others. Before forming his consulting firm, Lyons served in a number of capacities at La Salle University including director of the News Bureau, editor of LA SALLE, the university’s alumni quarterly magazine, and lecturer in the Communication Department, teaching courses in journalism, public relations, and advertising. A 1961 graduate of La Salle, Lyons joined the university in 1962 as the school’s first sports information director. During his seven-year tenure as SID, La Salle’s basketball media brochure was honored four times for excellence as the best publication in Dis-trict II (East) by the United States Basketball Writers Association. Lyons has also worked as a commercial advertising and public relations account executive, a news and sports reporter for The (former) Philadelphia Bulletin, and the public relations consultant for Abington (PA) Township. He was a sports correspondent for the Associated Press for more than 35 years before retiring in 2011.

Land-atmosphere interactions in Southwest Western Australia
No full textThe Southwest of Western Australia (SWWA) is a region of extensive land cover change with an estimated 13 million hectares of native vegetation cleared since European settlement. Whilst previous studies have suggested meteorological and climatological implications of this change in land use, no studies have explicitly focussed on the detailed mechanisms behind the impacts of land-cover change on individual meteorological phenomena. This thesis seeks to identify the physical mechanisms inducing changes within the atmosphere by using the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS V6.0) to simulate the impact of land use change on meteorological phenomena at different scales and evaluate these model results against high resolution atmospheric soundings, station observations, and gridded rainfall analyses where appropriate. Sensitivity tests show that land-cover change results in an increase in low-level atmospheric moisture advection associated with the southern sea-breeze due to a reduction in surface roughness. It also results in a decrease in convective precipitation associated with cold-fronts and convective clouds associated with the surface heat trough, due to an increase in wind speed, and a decrease in turbulent kinetic energy and vertically integrated moisture convergence within the PBL. Large-eddy simulations further highlight the role of land-cover change and soil moisture, as well as the contributions of surface versus entrainment fluxes on the growth of the PBL and development of convective clouds. These results are discussed within the broader context of the meteorology of the region

Exploring the meanings of artistic occupation for women living with chronic illness: A comparison of template and interpretative phenomenological approaches to analysis
No full text(Brief Summary)
This article is based on my experience of carrying out two
studies that explored the meanings of artistic occupations
(in particular, textile arts) for women who were living with
long-term health problems (Reynolds 1997, Reynolds and
Prior 2003). Inquiry into the meanings of occupation for
people in the community who are coping with illness and
life transitions is a growing area of occupational therapy
research (for example, Christiansen et al 1999, Jonsson et al
2001, Lyons et al 2002). A better understanding of the
phenomenology of occupation may help to inform
professional practice

Protoconch of nearly 2 elevated glassy whorls, first whorl smooth, flattened, with immersed tip; secord whorl scarcely wider than first, with flat sides and 4 or 5 rather robust axial riblets near junction with teleoconch. Teleoconch of about 7 whorls, each with about 6 large, unaligned, broadly rounded axial ribs extending from suture to suture; whorls 1–3 with 3 subequal spiral cords; whorls 4–6 with 4 thick, elevated cords with rounded tops; cords wider where crossing ribs, separated from each other by 3–5 faint spiral threads; interspaces between cords deep, channel-like. Body whorl wider than long, with 3 or 4 prominent cords crossing axial ribs and flanked anteriorly and posteriorly by 1 or 2 lesser cords, all separated by fine threads. Suture deeply impressed, slightly undulating, bordered anteriorly by sutural ramp bearing many scale-like lamellae; similar lamellae scattered irregularly across shell surface at edges or previous growth increments. Base with 4 or 5 thin spiral cords, narrowing abruptly from body whorl, tapering to short, slender siphonal process; 12 to 14 thin, oblique cords and threads continuing to tip. Aperture subovate, slightly constricted at anterior and posterior ends; outer lip rendered slightly crenulate at edge by termini of external cords, inner surface bearing 6 or 7 narrow lirae, 2 or 3 nearest entrance to siphon interrupted, others entire; inner lip slightly detached, extending more than half distance to tip along inner edge of siphon; columella straight anteriorly, curved posteriorly to merge with thick parietal callus; siphon smooth, sinuose.

The intertextual reception of Genesis 1-3 in Irenaeus of Lyons
No full textThis thesis explores the intertextual nature of Irenaeus’ reading of Genesis 1-3. In this study, we assume a different mode of investigation than previous works on Irenaeus’ use of scripture. Drawing from contemporary discussions on intertextuality in Fishbane, Boyrin, Hays, and Young, we challenge a tradition of investigation into Irenaeus’ exegesis that has marginalized the significance of scriptural networking inherent to his hermeneutic. This perspective is evident in the previous works on Irenaeus’ reading of Genesis in Orbe, Jacobsen, Kannengiesser, Steenberg, and Holsinger-Friesen. This thesis, on the other hand, brings together an appreciation for Irenaeus’ hermeneutic with respect to his exegesis of Gen 1-3. We show that in every instance Irenaeus interprets Gen 1-3, not in isolation, but in correlation with other texts by means of a variety of intertextual reading strategies that shape his theological polemic. In chapter one we investigate the nature of Irenaeus’ hermeneutical orientation based upon studies of patristic exegesis and his own descriptions of the exegetical task. We show that Irenaeus purposes to interconnect texts in his refutation and exegesis and we formulate a methodology that appreciates his reading of Gen 1-3 within this theological networking of texts. In chapters 2-6, we provide a literary analysis of the echoes, allusions, and citations of Gen 1-3 in each book of Adversus Haereses. In each case we isolate the allusions to Gen 1-3 and the corresponding interrelated texts that form a hermeneutically symbiotic relationship with Gen 1-3. We show how these textual relationships yield a more comprehensive appreciation for the meaning and function of Gen 1-3 in Irenaeus. In chapter 7 we conclude with a summary and cumulative evaluation of the intertextual relationships fashioned with Gen 1-3 and the reading strategies that guide his intertextual use of Gen 1-3. In doing so, this thesis exposes the intricacies of Irenaeus’ theological and intertextual reading of Gen 1-3 and the various ways that Irenaeus harmonizes scripture
Towards Sustainable Mobility Indicators: Application to the Lyons Conurbation
No full textThis paper applies the theme of sustainable development to the case of urban transport and daily mobility of the inhabitants of a city. A set of indicators which simultaneously takes the three dimensions of sustainability––environmental, economic, and social––into account is suggested. We present here the results of exploratory research funded by Renault Automobile Manufacturers, carried out to verify the feasibility and the usefulness of elaborating such sustainable mobility indicators. Values of the economics, environmental and social indicators are presented for the Lyons case. These estimations are mainly based on the household travel survey held in this city in 1994–1995. In the end, this set of indicators should allow the comparison of different urban transport strategies within an urban area, but also between different urban contexts, and through time. The conditions of generalization of these measurements of indicators are then discussed.Trip distance ; Daily mobility ; Sustainability indicators ; Household travel survey ; Methodology ; Pollutant emissions ; Expenditures ; Global costs
