No full textRoger Abrahams, director of the African and Afro-American Research Institute at the University of Texas-Austin and author of Positively Black, argues the case for ethnic diversity in this interview. He also discusses that the idea of "new ethnicity" is not restricted to black or brown America and he sees a widespread return to old mores inherent in the traditional ethnic value system.

Radula with curved rachidian tooth with four subequal cusps; lateral teeth with three cusps.</p> <p> <b>Type species:</b> <i>C</i>. <b>labidentatus</b> <b>n. sp.</b> (HD)</p> <p> <b>Remarks:</b> <i>Crebrivolutopsius</i> shows some anomalous characters that resemble those of the subfamily Neptuneinae, namely the comparatively small nucleus and the tricuspid lateral teeth, but the form and proportions of the shell is Volutopsiinae, so it is provisionally placed in the later subfamily.</p>Published as part of <i>Mclean, James H. & Clark, Roger N., 2023, Seven new genera and thirty-four new species of buccinoid gastropods (Neogastropoda: Buccinidae) from the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, pp. 151-201 in Zootaxa 5351 (2)</i> on page 189, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5351.2.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/8391375">http://zenodo.org/record/8391375</a>

The unique operculum sets this genus apart from all other North Pacific Buccininae. At present, the <i>Aleutibuccinum clarki</i> is the only species assigned to this genus.</p>Published as part of <i>Mclean, James H. & Clark, Roger N., 2023, Seven new genera and thirty-four new species of buccinoid gastropods (Neogastropoda: Buccinidae) from the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, pp. 151-201 in Zootaxa 5351 (2)</i> on page 193, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5351.2.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/8391375">http://zenodo.org/record/8391375</a>

Biologically-Inspired and Agent-Based Algorithms for Music
No full textThis chapter examines a range of approaches to algorithmic music making inspired by biological systems, and considers topics at the intersection of contemporary music, computer science and computational creativity. A summary of core precursor movements both within and beyond musical practice (ALife, cybernetics, systems art etc.) sets the scene, before core models and algorithms are introduced and illustrated. These include evolutionary algorithms, agent-based modelling and self-organising systems, adaptive behaviour and interactive performance systems, and ecosystemic approaches to composition and computational creative discovery. We close by reviewing themes for future work in this area: autonomy and agency, and the poetics of biologically-inspired algorithms.This is a draft of a chapter/article, written in summer 2015 that has been accepted for publication by Oxford University Press in the Oxford Handbook of Algorithmic Music, edited by Alex McLean and Roger Dean and published in 2018

Laevisipho Mclean & Clark 2023, n. gen.

Whorls at all stages rounded, suture deeply impressed. Apex extended by addition of one very extended early teleoconch whorl. Axial and, spiral sculpture usually lacking or composed of a few very faint, irregular spiral cords, pillar straight or slightly concave. Canal of moderate length, final lip thickened, but not flaring. Operculum relatively large, but not filling aperture, nucleus terminal.</p> <p> <b>Type species:</b> <i>Laevisipho galaxaios</i> <b>n. sp.</b> (HD).</p> <p> <b>Remarks:</b> This genus differs from the similar smooth shelled genus <i>Golikovia</i> Habe & Sato, 1973, by 1) nuclear whorls, which are extended as in <i>Beringius</i>, and 2) lack of spiral cords on early teleconch whorls. The nuclear whorls of <i>Golikovia</i> are not extended, and the early teleconch whorls have several spiral cords. Differs from other smooth or nearly smooth <i>Neptunea</i> (<i>s. l.</i>) by the extended protoconch which lacks any spiral cords or angulation.</p> <p> Two species are recognized, <i>Laevisipho galaxios</i>, and <i>L. kessleri</i>, both endemic to the central Aleutian Islands.</p>Published as part of <i>Mclean, James H. & Clark, Roger N., 2023, Seven new genera and thirty-four new species of buccinoid gastropods (Neogastropoda: Buccinidae) from the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, pp. 151-201 in Zootaxa 5351 (2)</i> on page 185, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5351.2.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/8391375">http://zenodo.org/record/8391375</a>
