Neoephydra araucaria Mathis, 2008, sp. nov.
No full text<i>Neoephydra araucaria,</i> sp. nov. <p>(Figs. 11–16)</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> Specimens of <i>N. araucaria</i> are distinguished from similar congeners by the following characters: generally appearing moderately dark; face moderately setose; gena moderately short; and structures of male terminalia with distinctive conformation.</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> Medium-sized to moderately large shore flies (Fig. 11), body length 3.04–4.38 mm; generally dull, grayish with some subshiny areas dorsally.</p> <p> <i>Head</i> (Fig. 11): Head ratio 0.69–0.72; frontal ratio 0.54–0.55; mesofrons with dark, greenish blue to brassy luster, inconspicuously pilose; ocellar triangle differing little from mesofrons in color or vestiture; fronto-orbital setae 2. Antenna mostly concolorous, dark, blackish brown. Facial ratio 0.90–0.93; mostly densely setulose, particularly along oral margin and toward posteroventral portions of face; dorsum of interfoveal hump with subshiny area more or less concolorous with mesofrons, otherwise face densely microtomentose, grayish brown to golden brown, gradually paler ventrally. Eye ratio 1.07–1.10; gena-to-eye ratio 0.32–0.35; gena moderately short, coloration immediately below eye whitish gray, slightly more tannish posteriorly.</p> <p> <i>Thorax</i> (Fig. 11): Scutum thinly microtomentose, subshiny, mostly dark brown, darker and shinier posteriorly; anterior margin slightly more microtomentose, grayer, especially postpronotum and 2 partial, microtomentose stripes laterad of acrostichal track; lateral margins of scutum slightly more microtomentose, more grayish brown; scutellum concolorous with posterior portion of scutum; pleural areas paler, grayer ventrally; anepisternum with dorsal and posterior margins more brownish, otherwise mostly gray; anepimeron mostly concolorous with posterior margin of anepisternum; other pleural areas including coxae whitish gray, concolorous. Wing length averaging 3.55–3.80 mm; faintly infuscate; costal vein ratio 0.20–0.22; M vein ratio 0.69– 0.71. Legs generally dark; femora microtomentose, grayish blue to green, only slightly darker than ventral pleural areas; tibiae and tarsi orangish yellow, with blackish tinges apically.</p> <p> <i>Abdomen:</i> Generally thinly microtomentose to microtomentose; tergites fasciate, anterior margin brownish to brassy, more thinly microtomentose, posterior margin grayish olivaceous green to gray, paler toward lateral margins, some specimens with faint bluish tinges of metallic luster; ventral surface of tergites frequently whitish gray. Fifth tergite of male triangular, nearly equilateral. Male terminalia (Figs. 12–16): margins of epandrium in posterior view (Fig. 12) parallel below cerci, rounded dorsally; surstyli in posterior view roughly forming isosceles triangle, apices of posterior processes forming ventral angle with narrow gap between; surstylus in lateral view (Figs. 14–16) with posterior process wide on basal 2/3, thereafter tapered to anteriorly curved, rounded apex, anterior margin irregularly shaped, posterior margin more regular; lateral process short, bluntly rounded, with patch of long, medioapical setulae.</p> <p> <b>Type Material.</b> The holotype male is labeled “ CHILE: Osorno Pr.

Head black, subshiny; frons dark colored, usually contrasted with lighter facial coloration. Two pairs of strong lateroclinate orb; medial facial area and lower facial margin with setae, of which 3–4 setae are lengthened laterally; oral setae well developed; gena with 1 distinct seta longer and stronger than other genal setae. Arista with short pubescent­like hairs.</p> <p> Thorax generally black, subshiny. Three pairs of postsutural dc, presutural dc absent (except in <i>S. nepalensis</i>); acr weak and short, continuing in a posts row to base of scutellum; 1 strong presutural seta; posterior npl much farther from notopleural suture than anterior npl; katepisternal seta weaker than anepisternal seta; 1 strong sa, psa absent; 2 pairs of sc. Legs subshiny black. Forefemur with row of pv, and without row of spine­like setae, midfemur with row of av. Pulvilli well developed; claws short and distinctly curved. Wing: C extended to apex of M; distance between R2+3 and R4+5 less than that between R4+5 and M but more than 1/2 that between R4+5 and M.</p> <p>Abdomen generally black, subshiny. Male genitalia: Epandrium large and broad, parallel­sided in posterior view; cerci long, thickened at base and slender at apex; gonite falcate at base in lateral view.

In <i>Psilephydra</i>, the facial setae are reduced, hair­like, the distance between R2+3 and R4+5 is equal to that between R4+5 and M, the epandrium is as long as wide and the gonite is visible from a posterior view, the gonites loop beneath the aedeagus, and the phallapodeme is slender (Mathis 1982, Mathis and Zatwarnicki 1988).</p>Published as part of <i>Zhang, Junhua, Yang, Ding & Mathis, Wayne N., 2005, A new genus and species of Ephydridae (Diptera) from the Oriental Region, pp. 31-43 in Zootaxa 1040</i> on page 34, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/169819">10.5281/zenodo.169819</a>
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ
No full textThe ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is
B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd),
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5.
The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be
ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%.
Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations
