This species can be distinguished from other known species of the genus by the sacculus with two or three small distal spines and the eighth sternite with caudal processes obtusely rounded apically in the male genitalia; the antrum short, the lamella antevaginalis and ductus bursae relatively narrower in the female genitalia. Description. Adult (Fig. 1 b): Wing expanse 11.0–12.5 mm. Head with vertex yellow, frons shiny white. Labial palpus pale yellow, slightly whitish on inside of second segment. Antenna yellowish gray. Thorax and tegula orange yellow. Forewing with termen straight; ground color yellow to orange yellow, with a small black spot at base, and a large, ovate silvery gray blotch situated at basal 1 / 3, surrounded by dark brown and deep brownish yellow scales; distal 2 / 5 with a few longitudinal dark brown streaks extending to near apex, forming a large blotch; cilia yellow along apex and termen, gray on tornus. Hindwing and cilia whitish yellow. Legs whitish on ventral surface, yellow or pale brownish yellow on dorsal surface, with conspicuous black speckles on hind tarsus. Abdomen yellow dorsally, white ventrally. Male genitalia (Fig. 3 a): Uncus lobe with basal 3 / 4 rectangular, distal 1 / 4 bilobed and widely apart, rounded apically. Gnathos narrow, hooked distally. Valva with basal 2 / 3 broad, narrowed at 2 / 3; cucullus somewhat elongate oval, bluntly rounded at apex, armed with numerous bullet-like spines ventrally; costal bar gently arched. Sacculus broad, longer than half length of valva, with two or three apical spines. Juxta somewhat oval, slightly concave on caudal margin, with pair of long spine-like processes caudo-laterally. Aedeagus nearly same thickness throughout, with numerous short spines along ventral margin distally; apex bilobed, dorsal lobe large, roundly dilated, ventral lobe a small spine-like process; cornuti composed of one large and four small spines distributed in distal half. Eighth sternite (Fig. 3 b): Caudal processes short, obtuse apically. Female genitalia (Fig. 3 c): Papillae anales rounded caudally. Apophyses posteriores long, about four times length of apophyses anteriores, its distal 1 / 3 expanded. Lamella antevaginalis a narrow, rectangular plate, deeply concave on anterior margin. Antrum short. Ductus bursae with posterior 1 / 3 heavily sclerotized, bearing numerous small and large spines; median portion expanded, arched along left margin, with strong spines inside left portion, gradually narrowed to about 3 / 4; anterior 1 / 4 membranous. Corpus bursae ovate, spinulate inside; signum a large lunate plate, placed posteriorly, dentate anteriorly. Distribution. China (Guizhou, Hunan). Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin word obtusangulus, referring to the eighth sternite with caudal processes bluntly angled apically.

Using performance assessment in secondary school mathematics: an empirical study in a Singapore classroom
No full textThis article reports an exploratory study on using performance assessment in mathematics instruction in a high-performing secondary school in Singapore. An intact mathematics class participated in the study, and received chapter-based performance tasks as intervention during regular mathematics lessons for about one and a half school years. The performance tasks used included authentic and/or open-ended tasks. The students’ academic achievements and attitudes in mathematics were compared with a comparison class that did not receive the intervention. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, mainly through questionnaire surveys, performance task tests, conventional school exams, and interviews with students and teachers. The results suggest that the students receiving the intervention performed significantly better than their counterparts in solving conventional exam problems, and in general they also showed more positive changes in attitudes towards mathematics and mathematics learning. The students from the experimental class also expressed positive views about the benefits of using performance tasks in promoting their ability in higher order thinking, though no statistically significant difference was detected between the two classes of students in solving unconventional tasks before and after intervention. Overall, the results appear to support teachers’ using contextualised problems in real life situations and open-ended investigations in students’ learning of mathematic

Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director
