Postmodern Theory and the Choreography of Michael Clark
No full textThis study addresses two interrelated questions: Can postmodern ‘theory’ illuminate an understanding of Michael Clark’s work? and, a sub-question, In which ways, if at all, does Clark’s work demonstrate a postmodern sensibility? Chapter one, the introduction to this study, provides a ‘portrait’ of postmodernism, that is, it addresses the question What is postmodernism? Chapter two is a biography of Michael Clark. The seminal sections to this study, however, are chapters three and four. Here the author blends a discussion of a) subject matter, treatment and meanings in Clark’s choreography, b) journalistic criticisms of those features of his work, and c) postmodern theory. The outcome of these chapters is to demonstrate that Clark’s works do indeed require re-interpretation and re-evaluation, and to illustrate how these factors might be achieved
Meliphaga phrygia subsp. tregellasi Mathews

See Salomonsen, 1967: 436, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 304, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 622–623.</p> <p> HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 691851</b>, adult male, collected at Mulgrave, 37.55S, 145.12E (USBGN, 1957), Victoria, Australia, on 3 December 1908, by Thomas Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2812) via the Rothschild Collection.</p> <p> COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘ Victoria, South Australia.’’ The holotype bears Tregellas’ original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it is illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 525, opp. p. 404, text p. 405), where it is confirmed as the type of <i>tregellasi</i>. The following specimens are paratypes: <b>AMNH 691834</b> (Mathews no. 3153), sex?, Gippsland, undated, (entered in catalog only as ‘‘ Victoria’ ’); <b>AMNH 691837</b> (not found in catalog but collected on same day as next), female, Bayswater, 26 December 1908; <b>AMNH 691838</b> (Mathews no. 3143), female juvenile, Bayswater, 26 December 1908. Three other specimens are possible paratypes, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when he received them: AMNH 691833, male, Blackwood, South Australia, 8 June 1909; AMNH 691839, male, Melton, 6 February 1905; AMNH 691849, male, Lang Lang, 1898. AMNH 691850 (14718) Moorabool, December 1895, is not a paratype, as it was not cataloged by Mathews until 5 November 1912, after the 31 January 1912 publication date of <i>tregellasi</i>. Other specimens in AMNH were collected too late or were never in Mathews’ collection.</p> <p> This species is usually placed in the genus <i>Xanthomyza</i>; but based on their phylogenetic analysis of molecular data from their studies on the Meliphagidae, Driskell and Christidis (2004: 953) merged the genus <i>Xanthomyza</i> in the genus <i>Anthochaera</i>.</p> <p> McAllan (2007: 140) discussed the spelling of the genus <i>Xanthomyza</i> and decided that the original spelling by Swainson, <i>Zanthomiza</i>, was a valid and available name. Christidis and Boles (2008: 186) and Higgins et al. (2008: 622) accepted this interpretation, without mentioning the subsequent publication by Schodde et al. (2007: 276), pointing out that McAllan had failed to consider the relevant article in the Code (ICZN, 1999: 42, Art. 33.2.3.1), under which ‘‘ <i>Xanthomyza</i> is a justified emendation, with Swainson (1837) as author, after Salomonsen (1967), and should be accepted as the correct spelling.’’ Thus, when the original genus is used in taxonomic lists, the spelling <i>Xanthomyza</i> should be used.</p>Published as part of <i>Mary, 2011, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 9.

No full textAddress of Misra, Ferguson and Rao: Department of Physics. The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, 43210. Address of Mathews: Department of Chemistry, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, 43210.Author Institution:A 10-meter Czerny-Turner infrared spectrometer has been modified and adapted into an instrument with a 50 cm focal plane suitable for photographic recording of spectra between about 1800 and 8000 Angstroms. The Bausch and Lomb plane grating used in the Czerny-Turner system has been precisely calibrated employing several standard wavelengths. The emission spectrum of has provided a good test for the resolution of the remodeled spectrograph in the ultraviolet. A hollow cathode discharge lamp has been employed to generate the 0-0, 0-1, and 0-2 bands of the system of and in emission. A nonlinear least-squares fitting rountine has been used to analyze the bands. In the case of , current data have been analyzed taking full advantage of available microwave data for the ground state, thereby permitting comparisons with previous results. Results of the study on provide the first determination of molecular constants for this isotopic species in the and the electronic states

First report of root rot caused by Pythiumspp. on chickpea in South Africa
No full textChickpea is a relatively new crop in the NE South Africa. High incidences of plant death were observed in an experiment that was established in 2012 in Mziniti, South Africa to assess the agronomic performance of 66 elite chickpea lines from International Crop Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics. Infected plants showed signs of root rot. Therefore this study aimed at investigating the cause of the root rot. Roots of infected plants were sampled and incubated at 25°C until colonies of the pathogen were observed. Colonies were sub-cultured with sterile soil extract and sterile leaf blades. Isolates were stored in sterile distilled water with leaf blades in screw capped 15 ml McCarthy bottles at 18°C. The pathogen was identified as Pythium irregulare based on morphological structures and species description. The isolates were inoculated on healthy potted chickpea plants and these showed root rot symptoms similar to field observation. The pathogen was re-isolated from the inoculated plants and cultured; they showed similar characteristics to the ones observed during the first isolation. This is the first report of P. irregulare incidence on chickpea in South Africa
