Theoretical maximum capacity as a benchmark for empty vehicle redistribution in personal rapid transit
No full textA personal rapid transit system uses compact, computer-guided vehicles running on dedicated guideways to carry individuals or small groups directly between pairs of stations. Vehicles move on demand when a passenger requests service at his or her origin station. Because the number of trips requested from a station need not equal the number of trips ending there, some vehicles must run empty to balance the flows. The empty vehicle redistribution (EVR) problem is to decide which empty vehicles to move and when and where to move them; an EVR algorithm makes these decisions in real time, as passengers arrive and request service. A method was developed for finding the theoretical maximum demand (with a given spatial distribution) that a given system could serve with any EVR algorithm, which provides a benchmark against which particular EVR algorithms can be compared. The maximum passenger demand that a particular EVR algorithm can serve can be determined by simulation and then compared with the benchmark. The method is applied to two simple EVR heuristics on two example systems. The results suggest that this is a useful method for determining the strengths and weaknesses of a variety of EVR heuristics across a range of networks, passenger demands, and fleet size

Madagascar E, Vohitrasiva, Andringitra, 22.1684 o S, 47.0289 o E +/- 0.1 km, 1450 +/- 50 m. Diagnosis. There is only one particularly similar species to Ht. westwoodi: Ht. viettei has a similar white band distad of the HWV Mb, but is generally smaller and much more widely distributed (sympatric in Fianarantsoa province) in Madagascar. Among related species, Ht. harveyi ♂♂ have yellow rather than whitish highlighting distad of the Mb in some forms. Description. Wings: dorsal surface fairly uniform dark brown, darker in area of cell and above towards costa. FWD space-CuA 1 ocellus expressed, roughly circular, its black iris spanning inter-vein distance CuA 1 -CuA 2, with a narrow concentric dark orange ring. HWD space-cuA 1 ocellus elliptic, with a black iris spanning more than half intervein distance CuA 1 -CuA 2, and a dark orange ring relatively slightly broader than in the FWD and nearly spanning the intervein distance. No other ocelli expressed on FWD. A dark Sml quite closely hugs the margin in both wings and both surfaces. HW margin moderately and evenly crenulate, with rather blunt dark blackish brown tails on the otherwise violet-grey-brown fringe. Ventral surface with a light grey-violet cast, especially on the HW. FWV ocellus space-CuA 1 is circular and same size as on the FWD with a concentric quite narrow orange ring. M 1 ocellus FWV fairly small and circular with black iris and faint narrow orange ring. A small ocellus with very small black iris is expressed just below the M 1 ocellus FWV. In the HWV the space-CuA 1 ocellus is as on the HWD and space-R 5 -M 3 ocelli are expressed as very small white points. Mb irregular, strongly concave from the margin to M 2 where it forms a cusp, then strongly and irregularly indented and maximally concave in space-CuA 1, convex again in space-CuA 2 and concave again to vein 1 A+ 2 A where it terminates. The Mb HWV delineates a relatively darker brown irrorated area proximad to the PMb that only slightly repeats the shape of the Mb. Distad of the Mb from veins M 2 - 1 A is a clear white band, also irregular, with prominence in space M 2 and maximum width proximad of space-CuA 1 ocellus, tapering to 1 A+ 2 A with a slight expansion in Space-CuA 2. Distad of this white band is a slightly paler brown area irrorated less densely with darker brown than the band in the more basal area. Patterning on the FWV is fairly uniform, darker proximad of the Mb that is concave around the space-CuA 1 ocellus and recurves back towards mid-costa, with indications of three or four paler stripes above the cell. There is slightly paler brown highlighting in premarginal area just proximad of the dark Sml. Variation. A PT ♂ (DL 95 - 0001) has a much stronger violet-grey cast, especially to the HWV. Sexually dimorphic (Fig. 10 A–B), ♀ larger and lighter in referred specimen BMNH (E) # 674842 (Fig. 10 B), but similar in ventral patterning, although with a more contrasting darker band between the HWV PMb and Mb. Wingspan/fwl: range 37.5–40.3 / 19.7–20.7 mm (n= 3 type ♂♂); mean = 37.4 +/- 1.1 SD/ 20.7 +/- 0.3 SD mm (n= 3 ♂♂), including HT ♂ 38.6 / 20.7 mm. 44.1 / 22.8 mm (n= 1 referred ♀). Androconia: HWD discocellular brush light brown. HWD discocellular patch ‘bullet’-shaped, peach pink coloured. Palps: outside face ochreous with distinct dark brown medial strip, fringed with thin blackish scales except where palps brush eye, and sandwiching ochreous hair scales away from eye. ♂ genitalia: 236 DL, PT ♂ from Vohitraseva (Lees, 1997: 109, Fig. 7 i, “ 13 B”; see Fig. 11 A). From LV, a very shallowly domed tegumen with a rather straight dorsal edge profile and slight brow leads to a ‘hand-scythe’-shaped uncus, which is fairly evenly deep except towards the tip of the hook, where it features more of a ‘head’ dorsad; very thin from DV. Tegumen with wide ‘U’-shaped proximad notch, from LV proximad profile bending round sharply to a constriction at junction with vinculum. This ‘waist’ is over half the maximum dimension of the tegumen (and thus the tegumen does not have a quadrate shape from LV). Valve with a very prominent convex dorsal ‘shoulder’ making up part of an oblong shape which leads to the narrow quite tapering and fairly straight valve arms, which are ventrally slightly elbowed and with a very slightly expanded club extending beyond the uncus tip, with a dorsal tooth and with a slightly incurved, rather blunt and serrate distal region (pointed and somewhat incurved from DV); this club covered in an array of spinoid setae on its mesad face. Gnathos from rightangled base pointing in line with the uncus tip in its porrect position, relatively straight and tapered to pointed tip and with negligible serration; from DV slightly sinuate and inrecurved at tip. Saccus moderately extended and markedly inflated proximad, less than a third of total valve length. Aedeagus very thin, dorsoventrally flattened and uprecurved in distad half, with a long ostium proximad, proximad tip rather semicircular from DV. Juxta quite prominent proximad and keel-like from LV, bilobed from DV. Etymology. After John Obadiah Westwood, founder of the genus Heteropsis and describer of the remarkable Heteropsis drepana. The Hope Department of Entomology at Oxford, that Westwood founded, contains a number of other interesting species from Madagascar. Discussion. No historical museum material is known and the first field specimens of this species were recognized by C. Kremen in 1988–1991 in what is now Ranomafana National Park (Lees, 1997: 64). The sole surviving ST ♀ (in BMNH; now a LT) of Mycalesis andravahana was examined and belongs to a not closely related species, as discussed above. The HT of Henotesia wardii Butler, 1879 was also examined (BMNH (E) # 674838) together with its genitalic slide dissection (P. Viette no. 4847; see also above) and this species (now known as Heteropsis viettei Lees, 2003) is clearly not conspecific, despite the superficial similarity to Ht. westwoodi of Pl. 5, Figs. 6, 7 of Mabille ([1885]). The specimen represents Ht. viettei, as discussed above. Additional information. DNA divergences: COI- 5 P cluster number BOLD:ACW 4998 (exemplars BMAD 134 - 15 DL 06- 980 from RS Kalambatritra and BMAD 243 - 15 CK 92 -0005 from PN Andohahela; also KA- P 510 (see Aduse-Poku et al., 2015) from Ambondrombe). Phylogeny/sister species: apparently most closely related to Ht. harveyi (cluster number BOLD:ACW 5694 and to Ht. viettei (BOLDAAK 5839). Lees (1997) recovered Ht. westwoodi (as ‘THRTB’) as sister to Ht. viettei (‘THRTN’), based on all morphological evidence, genitalic characters, and non-genitalic characters, but without any jackknife support. Aduse-Poku et al., (2016, in press) confirm it as sister to Ht. viettei. Ecology and distribution. Habitat: montane rainforest with fine-leaved climbing bamboos. Behaviour: ♂♂ fly quite rapidly in the substory. Hostplant: suspected to be fine-leaved climbing bamboos. Early stages: unknown. Distribution: endemic to the southeastern mountains of Madagascar from Andohahela north to Andringitra, Mt. Ambondrombe and Mt Maharira, Ranomafana National Park (Fig. 30 A, pink dots).

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
