Euryxanthops Garth & Kim 1983
No full textEuryxanthops Garth & Kim, 1983 Remarks. The genus Euryxanthops Garth & Kim, 1983, was established for three species of relatively deepwater xanthids from Japan and the Philippines, viz. E. orientalis (Sakai, 1939) (type species by original designation), E. dorsiconvexus Garth & Kim, 1983, and E. flexidentatus Garth & Kim, 1983. Davie (1997) subsequently described two more species, E. latifrons and E. cepros, from the Loyalty Islands and Seychelles respectively. Euryxanthops orientalis has since been reported from Taiwan (Ho et al. 2000). All the species are essentially deep water usually taken from depths of 200 to 600 m. The genus is characterized by a carapace which resembles members of the genus Xantho, with the dorsal surface gently convex, the regions relatively well defined, a truncate front, an anterolateral margin which has a lobiform external orbital angle and three lobiform teeth, all of which are cristate to sub-cristate, ambulatory legs which have a cristate dorsal meral margin, and dactyli which are densely setose; chelipeds which are markedly unequal in both sexes; a male first gonopod that is stout, gently curved, with the lateral surfaces covered with small spinules, and the sub-distal and distal surfaces lined with long setae; and a male second gonopod which is much shorter than the first (Garth & Kim 1983; Davie 1997).Published as part of Ng, Peter K.

Carapace (Figs. 4 F; 100A, B; Garth 1940: pl. 26, fig. 1) with granular ridge along anterolateral margins. Orbits (Fig. 22 C; Garth 1940: pl. 26, fig. 5) long, eye peduncles proportionally long. Epistome (Fig. 22 C) with salient, trapezoid median lobe with median fissure, lateral margins straight to slightly curved. Antennular articles relatively short (Fig. 22 C). Third maxilliped (Fig. 29 F; Garth 1940: pl. 26, fig. 4; Serène 1964a: fig. 19c, as C. panamensis) merus ovate; ischium rectangular, longer than merus. Bulging pterygostomial region, clearly visible from dorsal view. Fingers of major chela of large males (Figs. 36 I; 100B; Garth 1940: pl. 26, figs. 2, 3) proportionally short, only slightly longer than enlarged propodus in dorsal view; pollex as long as dactylus; few large teeth, slightly larger proximally. Fingers of minor chela of both sexes (Fig. 36 J) scissor-like; with small, sharp teeth. Anterior margin of ventral surface of propodus, proximal portion of pollex of major chela of large males smooth, without tufts of long setae. Inner margin of cheliped carpus (Fig. 4 F; Garth 1940: pl. 26, fig. 1) with low, blunt tooth (smooth in small individuals). Ambulatory legs (Fig. 4 F; Garth 1940: pl. 26, fig. 1) proportionally short, folded P5 merus only reaching middle portion of anterolateral margin. Fused thoracic sternites 1, 2 (Fig. 50 B) broadly triangular, proportionally wide, short. Male pleon (Figs. 50 B, 57B) with proportionally long, narrow telson. G1 (Fig. 65 E‒G; Serène 1964a: fig. 19c, as C. panamensis) slender, long, nearly straight, not expanded distally, with only few spinules on distal end. G2 (Fig. 65 H; Serène 1964a: fig. 19c, as C. panamensis) shorter than G1, with short distal segment. Female pleon (Fig. 85 A) with lateral margins of somites strongly convex; telson proportionally short. Sterno-pleonal cavity of female (Fig. 89 G) moderately shallow, vulvae close together. Colour. The carapace is yellowish beige in life, the chelipeds and ambulatory legs white (Fig. 100 A, B). Remarks. Garth (1940: 53) remarked that the morphology of the chelipeds and ambulatory legs can be used to distinguish C. longipes from the often sympatric C. latipes, especially the stout legs of C. latipes and the high propodus of the major chela of large males of C. longipes. Diagnostic for C. longipes is a bulging pterygostomial region as in its Atlantic congeners and different from the gently convex region of C. latipes, and the orbits are conspicuously long (Fig. 22 C). Also characteristic of C. longipes is an epistome with slightly curved lateral margins (Fig. 22 C) similar to C. latipes, its eastern Pacific congener, but different from the straight lateral margins of all Atlantic congeners. Garth (1948: 91, pl. 26, fig. 5) stated in the description of the species that the epistome is “diamond shaped”, but the illustration of the female holotype shows a trapezoid median lobe as in all specimens examined. Serène (1964a) was obviously unaware of Garth’s description of C. longipes as a new species (Garth 1940). It was not listed on his list of species of Chasmocarcinus (Serène 1964a: 258) nor in differences between his new species and other species of Chasmocarcinus (detailed differences in contrast to four species, all from the Western Atlantic) nor Garth’s reference at the end of the paper.

Garth St. Omer's Existential Parlance
Get PDFPurpose of the Study: Garth St. Omer, a contemporary Caribbean author of novellas, develops many themes in his fiction that maybe found in fictional and philosophical writings by Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and other French existentialists. This study ;s an attempt to trace and delineate some of the themes, motifs, and aesthetic techniques common to both St. Omer and the French existentialists. Procedure: In this investigation, a close reading of the works of Garth St. Omer, Albert Camus, and other French Existentialists, has been conducted. In addition, criticism of St. Omer's works and volumes devoted to genre and style have been consulted. A final assimilation, comparison, and integration of these texts has been carried out in an attempt to construct an itinerary of St. Omer's thought. Findings: The particular novella genre developed by Garth St. Omer, as well as his concentrated prose, sets his writings apart from those of the French existentialists. The aesthetic techniques combined with the philosophical themes implicit in his stories give rise to types of alienation and existential experience unique to St. Omer's characters. Conclusions: The parallels that exist between the writings of St. Omer and the French existentialists cannot be relegated to mimesis. For a deep reading of St. Omer's fiction shows that his themes are not variations of Camus's and Sartre's themes (as some critics argue), but rather extensions of a vision that St. Omer and these other artists shared; the central hypothesis being that Garth St. Omer is as independent of Camus and Sartre as he is indebted to them.Gifford, William Tell. 1988.

Development and evaluation of a procedural analysis for quantifying the existence of mechanical and material hazards within an industrial plant
No full textThis study was a developmental investigation of a procedural analysis to facilitate the evaluation of an accident prevention program by a safety manager or other qualified individual. Literature on industrial accident prevention was examined extensively to disclose the requisite elements that should be included in a procedural analysis for identifying hazards. In addition, fundamental statistical methods were analyzed to identify a cadre of inferential techniques that could be used to quantify the uncertainty associated with the hazard recognition process. The investigation disclosed that industrial accident prevention programs have not capitalized on the benefits to be gained from using inferential statistical techniques. Although many safety managers have recognized that statistical theory has numerous ramifications for accident prevention, actual applications have been limited to a small number of so-called exemplary programs. These exemplary programs were reported, in most instances, to be concerned with the implementation of a statistical technique that focused on a single aspect of the industrial accident prevention problem

This important statute declared illegal a segregated society, and put into the books of law the rights promised by the U.S. Constitution. This thesis analyzes President Lyndon B.
