Plotosus undetermined
No full textPlotosus sp. Fig. 13I–J Remarks Utricular otoliths are very rare in the collection. The present ones resemble those of the recent Plotosus (see Lin & Chang 2012: pl. 74), and are tentatively allocated to this genus.

Tortonian fish otoliths from turbiditic deposits in Northern Italy: Taxonomic and stratigraphic significance
No full textFish otoliths from the fossiliferous turbiditic sand deposits outcropping at the Borelli and Moncucco localities (Piedmont, Northern Italy) are herein analyzed. The studied section is Tortonian in age and belongs to the lower portion of the Sant'Agata Fossili Formation. The study reveals the presence of at least 90 otolith-based taxa of which 78 are identified at the species level. Two of these are named and described as new species: "Gobiida" bicornuta and "Gobiida" brioche. In addition, 19 taxa, including both still living and extinct ones, are recorded for the first time in Tortonian deposits. Among them, the still living Nansenia aff. oblita, ?Sagamichthys schnakenbecki, and Chaunax pictus are found as fossils for the first time. The high diversity of this well-preserved otolith assemblage improves the systematic knowledge of the Tortonian gobiids and other neritic taxa, which show a close affinity with the present-day Mediterranean fauna. Moreover, the stratigraphic distribution of both neritic and mesopelagic taxa, that were previously considered to enter the Mediterranean Basin in younger stratigraphic intervals, can now be extended back to the Tortonia

The political role of the people's liberation army 1949-1973
No full textThis thesis is to study the political role of the People's Liberation Army from the approach of structure and function. The framework of the thesis consists of three major parts, first, the influence of Chinese traditional political culture on, and the formation of, the political role of the PL A; second, the influence of domestic political struggles and external military conflicts on the development of the political role of the PLA; and the third, the analysis of the transition of the PLA's political role from the structure and personnel arrangements of the CCPCC Within the above-mentioned three scopes, this thesis make a thorough discussion on the following: (1) The relationship between the structure of the PRC and the formation of the PLA's political role; (2) How has ideology influenced the army's political role; (3) What is Mao's viewpoint and his influence on the development of the army's political role; (4) What is the link between the army and the party, and how has this developed; (6) What accounts for the expansion of the PLA's political functions; (7) What is the influence of political factional struggles on the PLA's political role; (8) Is it political institution or military institution that controls the recruitment of the military elite; (9) What are the disparities between the military elite in handling international conflicts and what are their political considerations; (10) What is the Party's position in the army; (11) How have the Party’s important meetings and personnel arrangements influenced the rise and fall of the PLA's political role
Pomadasys quadrilineatus Shen & Lin 1984
No full textPomadasys quadrilineatus Shen & Lin, 1984 (Fig. 3d; no. 7–8 in pl. 1) Material examined. — 2 sagittae (NMMBOL 0799, 1007). Description. — Oval to oblong shape, slightly convex medial face and slightly concave lateral face. Dorsal margin slightly irregular and ventral margin rounded and minutely crenate in the middle. Crista superior well developed except for above the anterior cauda, where slightly ridgelike. Dorsal trough visible to crista superior. Crista inferior moderately developed. Cauda straight anteriorly, flexing sharply at two-thirds of the length. Ostium broad, the posteroventral corner wide, pointing posteriorly to form a lobe. Excisural notch absent. Dimensions. — OL, 7.38–7.72 mm; OH, 5.02–5.52 mm; OT, 1.56–1.67 mm; OsL, 2.52–3.09 mm; OsH, 1.76–1.88 mm. Diagnosis. — The broad ostium (caused in part by a deep trough near the dorsal margin of the ostium), with a well-developed posteroventral corner (creating a lobe) is diagnostic. The relative thinness and slender outline of the sagittae are also diagnostic.Published as part of Lin, Chien-Hsiang, Li, Kuang-Ti & Chang, Chih-Wei, 2013, Identification Of Pomadasys Species (Pisces, Haemulidae) From An Archaeological Midden Site In Nankuanli East (Taiwan), Based On Otolith Morphology, pp. 293-302 in Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 61 (1) on page 297, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.535189
Apogon undetermined
No full textApogon sp. Fig. 20D–E Remarks Several small otoliths (n = 33) from localities in Texas are here assigned to Apogon.
