Aleurocanthus hirsutus Maskell
No full textAleurocanthus hirsutus (Maskell) (Figs 39–41) Aleurodes hirsuta Maskell, 1896: 434. Lectotype Australia, NSW, Sydney, designated by Dumbleton, 1956: 164 (ANICincorrectly listed as ADSIR in (Evans, 2006)). Aleurocanthus hirsutus (Maskell), Quaintance & Baker, 1914: 102 Distribution. NSW (Martin 1999), Qld (ASCU). Hosts. FABACEAE: Acacia longifolia (Martin, 1999). MYRTACEAE, Callistemon sp. (ASCU). Material examined. 1 x puparium slide, Australia, ex Acacia longifolia [ex Maskell pill box] (type lot) (ANIC); unknown host, 5km E Pomona, Qld, 26.3481 o S 152.88970 o E, 12.vii. 2005, P.S. Gillespie, 2 x puparia on one slide (ASCT 00132027)(ASCU), 1 x parasitised puparia on dry leaf (ASCT 00131961)(ASCU); 3 x puparia each on a slide, ex Callistemon sp., Newington Boulevade & ONeill Ave, Newington, NSW, 33.84155 0 S 151.05461 0 E, 13.iv. 2010, H.L[oecker] R.K[erslake] & E.C[ottage], A 68 - 1 (ASCT 00025028- 30)(ASCU). Comments. A collection of 3 puparia in SE Qld extend the range of this species 1000 km north of its type locality. Readers are referred to Martin (1999) for a more thorough account of this species. This pale species has a characteristic arrangement of about 20 pairs of short marginal setae and conspicuous thoracic and caudal tracheal marginal combs. Martin (1999) recognised a single specimen of an undescribed, yet clearly related species, which has 30 pairs of marginal setae (Aleurocanthus sp. 8 of Carver and Reid – ANIC). The presence of samples on Callistemon, whilst broadening the host range, seems to indicate that Callistemon is not a preferred host or that A. hirsutus is an uncommon whitefly, as the author has sampled whiteflies from hundreds of Callistemons in the Sydney region without encountering this species. This species belongs to the ‘ banksiae-valenciae’ group.Published as part of Gillespie, Peter S., 2012, A review of the whitefly genus Aleurocanthus Quaintance & Baker (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Australia, pp. 1-42 in Zootaxa 3252 on page 20, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.24642

Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

This species has adapted well to more mesic environments with often singleton specimens found on a variety <i>Acacia</i> spp in semi-arid environments, whilst the same species can be found often in considerable numbers on the leaves of the rainforest tree <i>L. confertus</i>, commonly used as a street tree in Sydney. The puparia of this species are easily diagnosed in the field because of the lack of long glandular spines, the peripuparial wax often appearing as a clear glutinous mass embedding the puparium with short tufts of white wax at the cephalothoracic and caudal openings (Fig.78). This species belongs to the ‘ <i>banksiae-valenciae’</i> group.</p>Published as part of <i>Gillespie, Peter S., 2012, A review of the whitefly genus Aleurocanthus Quaintance & Baker (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Australia, pp. 1-42 in Zootaxa 3252</i> on pages 37-39, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/246421">10.5281/zenodo.246421</a>
The future of forensic science education
No full textThis chapter explores the impact and implications of the new teaching exercise framework (TEF) and the future of the research exercise framework (REF) for forensic science education. It also considers the current and future for wide-ranging discussions about, and dissemination of, good practice in teaching, learning and assessment in forensic science and related disciplines. A prediction of the next decade of education in light of falling student numbers, increasing university fees and reduced opportunities for funding coupled with a shrinking forensic jobs market is considered. One aspect that will define forensic practice and education over the next decade and beyond is accreditation of not only forensic sciences education but also of practitioners and forensic science providers. Accreditation is based upon a series of 'component standards'. The standards address specific areas of forensic practice and are intended to augment underlying scientific knowledge of the forensic components
Taphonomic Facilities as Teaching Aids
No full textThe establishment of the human taphonomic facility helped drive the interest in human decomposition and boosted the term taphonomy into the forensic science arena. Discussions of human taphonomy began to appear in the forensic literature based upon observations made at the University of Tennessee facility. Forensic taphonomic research within the United Kingdom and Europe has focused on the use of animal models, notably the domestic pig, Sus scrofa. Whether human cadavers or animal models are used to study decomposition and factors that influence the process, the goals of modern forensic taphonomy research remain the same. Understanding soft tissue and bone decomposition and distribution discriminating post‐ from peri‐mortem modification, and more accurate post‐mortem interval estimation are the key foci. From a pedagogical perspective, taphonomy facilities are extremely valuable learning and teaching tools. In order to create a facility for taphonomy research and teaching at a university site, a suitable piece of land has to be acquired
