Phyllocnistis maxberryi differs from P. drimiphaga and P. tropaeolicola in having an oviform costal fascia with a broad margin, a C-shaped transverse fascia, two costal strigulae, and paired signa that are similar in shape. Unlike drimiphaga and tropaeolicola, the pupa of maxberryi has less developed frontal processes and two parallel rows of spines on the dorsal surface of abdominal segments. Of the three new Phyllocnistis species proposed in this paper, P. maxberryi is morphologically most similar to P. meliacella Becker. Phyllocnistis maxberryi may be distinguished from the latter by its broader apex of the valva and proportionately larger signa. Adult (Fig. 2B). Forewing length 2.2–3.7 mm. Head. Vestiture silvery white, completely covered with smooth, broad, scales that overlap anterior margin of eye; occipital scales cream. Antenna ̴ equal or slightly longer than length of forewing, scape and pedicel enlarged laterally and covered in long silvery scales, a single row of slender mostly silvery-white scales completely encircling each flagellomere; dorsal surface of antenna with a pale-golden luster. Labial palpus slender, ̴ 0.5 mm in length, with silvery-white scales. Thorax. Forewing silvery white, with a single, broad, light-brown longitudinal fascia with a dark brown posterior margin extending slightly diagonal from base of costa joining costal fascia at ̴ midway to apex; costal fascia oblique, pale gold, oviform, with a broad, inner dark-brown margin; transverse fascia C-shaped, pale gold with dark margin; apical to subapical area pale yellow; two faint, dark-brown costal strigulae present; a single, small black spot at wing apex from which two dark-brown apical strigulae arise. Hindwing silvery white. Legs mostly silvery white, with a faint suffusion of pale gold dorsally over most segments. Abdomen. Length ̴1.5–2.0 mm, silvery white; coremata similar to P. drimiphaga. Male genitalia (Figs 5 A–C). Similar to P. drimiphaga except vinculum relatively broader and more U-shaped. Valva ̴ 2× length of vinculum, nearly straight with apex only slightly enlarged (Fig. 5A). Genitalia slide USNM 33279. Female genitalia (Figs 5 D–F). Oviscapt greatly reduced as in P. drimiphaga; ductus bursae completely membranous, slender, elongate, over 12× length of papillae anales and terminating near middle of corpus bursae; corpus bursae greatly enlarged, ̴ 0.7× length of ductus bursae; signa paired, closely similar in shape and size (fusiform), with more posterior signum ̴ 1.2–1.5× longer than anterior signum; each signum with a single, acute, flattened spine projecting from middle (Fig. 5F); length of spines slightly more than width of signa; ductus seminalis extremely slender, elongate, ̴ 1.9× length of corpus bursae and arising from anterior end of corpus bursae. Genitalia slides USNM 33280, 33286. Larva (Figs 11 C–F). Mature sap-feeding larva ̴ 6.0 mm long, translucent orange, head capsule brown, prothoracic shield brown (Figs 10 C–E). Last instar (cocoon-spinning) larva orange, head capsule orange, ̴ 6.3 mm long (Fig. 10F). Pupa (Figs 8; 11H, I). Brown, length up to ̴ 4.0 mm; diameter ̴ 0.85 mm. Vertex with a long, dorsally curved, spine-like process (cocoon-cutter) (Figs 8A, B, D, E), and two pairs of short setae (Fig. 8C). Dorsum of A 2– A 7 with a pair of laterally curved, large spines in between which is a concentration of smaller spines, projecting posteriorly that are roughly arranged in two parallel rows (Figs 8 F–H); each segment with a pair of long, lateral, sensory setae (Fig. 8K). A 10 with a pair of slightly divergent processes from caudal apex (Figs 8I, J, L). Types. Holotype (Fig. 2B): ♀, Costa Rica: Prov.

One paratype, unknown sex (missing abdomen) at UCR, remaining paratypes at USNM. Life history (Fig. 11). Active mines were found on fully open young leaves near the tip of a branch. The smallest leaf with an active mining larva measured 12 × 30 mm. Mines were generally found on young plants about 30 cm to 1.5 m tall, in open fields or along exposed dirt roads or trails. In an open swampy field at the ALAS transect near Vara Blanca, many active mines were found on new leaves on young plants less than 1.5 m tall (Fig. 11A) and very few active mines were found on larger plants bearing flowers or fruit. Thirty-six of 42 leaves had mines on the adaxial side and the rest had mines on the abaxial side or on both. Up to three mines were observed on a single leaf. These mines were relatively short, serpentine mines with a brown median frass line that became dark brown as the mine widened (Fig. 11C). We recognize a general mining pattern for P. maxberryi: the egg is laid on the mid-vein, near the center of the leaf (Fig. 11C). After hatching, the larva enters the leaf and mines proximally towards the leaf petiole along the mid-vein and turns toward the leaf apex near or at the leaf petiole and mines along the leaf margin. Before reaching the midpoint along the axis of the leaf, the larva travels inward between the mid-vein and leaf margin and travels towards the leaf apex. After nearing the apex, the larva crosses the mid-vein and begins mining the other half of the leaf in a relatively straight line turning back towards the petiole. Once near the petiole, the larva constructs an oval-shaped chamber and molts within. After molting, the cocoon-spinning instar folds the margin while spinning its cocoon. This pupal fold was typically ̴ 7.0 mm long (Figs 11B, G). Under rearing conditions, the pupal stage lasts between 21–28 days (n = 7). Five female specimens of Chrysocharis sp. (Eulophidae: Entedoninae) were reared from pupal cocoon folds collected at Villa Mills, Cerro de la Muerte. Host. Gaiadendron punctatum (Ruiz & Pav.) G. Don (Loranthaceae) (Fig. 1G). The free-standing root parasite/epiphyte tree genus Gaiadendron includes approximately 15 species occurring in the New World (Gentry 1996; Missouri Botanical Garden 2009). Gaiadendron punctatum is distributed from Nicaragua through southern Central America to Bolivia (̴ 17°50'S) between 600 and 4100 m elevation (INBio 2009; Missouri Botanical Garden 2009). Trees are typically 2–5 m in height with bright yellow/orange flowers (Kappelle 2008). Young leaves are pale green to reddish brown, about 3–6 cm long and 1–3 cm wide (KN, pers. obs.). Among species in the genus, only G. punctatum is known from Costa Rica, and it has been recorded above 1500 m in open areas and along trails in cloud forests (INBio 2009; Kappelle 2008). Distribution. This species appears to have a greater elevational range than the other two, being found between 1950 and 3100 m. Specimens have been collected from Heredia Province, 6 km ENE of Vara Blanca, in the Cordillera Volcánica Central; and Cartago Province, Cerro de la Muerte, Villa Mills, in Cordillera de Talamanca.

Brentano e Nishida: sobre o psicologismo da escola de Kyoto
No full textKitaro Nishida (1870-1945) é o grande nome da Escola de Kyoto. Nascida no Japão, no início do século XX, a filosofia da Escola de Kyoto é comumente conhecida pela sua relação com o pensamento ocidental, especialmente com a proximidade em torno dos temas fenomenológicos e também heideggerianos, como “mundo”, “diferença ontológica”, técnica etc. Já outros nomes desta mesma Escola, como o de Keiji Nishitani (1900-1990), estavam mais próximos do pensamento de Schopenhauer, de Nietzsche e da questão da religiosidade oriental e do niilismo. Entretanto, neste texto traçarei um paralelo entre Nishida e uma outra filosofia europeia: aquela desenvolvida por Franz Brentano (1838-1917), a partir do seu Psicologia do ponto de vista empírico (1874). Especificamente, minha proposta aqui é procurar saber se há alguma relação entre a primeira fase do percurso intelectual de Nishida e o pensamento de Brentano e, se há, como ela pode ser estabelecida.
Confinement-induced p-wave resonances from s-wave interactions
No full textWe show that a purely s-wave interaction in three dimensions (3D) can induce higher partial-wave resonances in mixed dimensions. We develop two-body scattering theories in all three cases of 0D-3D, 1D-3D, and 2D-3D mixtures and determine the positions of higher partial-wave resonances in terms of the 3D s-wave scattering length assuming a harmonic confinement potential. We also compute the low-energy scattering parameters in the p-wave channel (scattering volume and effective momentum) that are necessary for the low-energy effective theory of the p-wave resonance. We point out that some of the resonances observed in the Florence group experiment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 153202 (2010)] can be interpreted as the p-wave resonances in the 2D-3D mixed dimensions. Our study paves the way for a variety of physics, such as Anderson localization of matter waves under p-wave resonant scatterers.Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Nothingness in Nishida and Aquinas: Mu as Disjointed Human Person and as Unnoticed Ipsum Esse Subsistens
No full textIn this paper, I examine Japanese Kyoto School philosopher Nishida Kitar?’s use of mu (nothingness) in comparison with the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas to show where, and how, Nishida equivocates on mu on Thomistic grounds, conflating it sometimes with the human person as principle of knowledge and at other times with the Catholic God as ipsum esse subsistens. I conclude by bringing in St. Thomas Aquinas’ works in response to some of Nishida’s speculations about “nothingness,” suggesting how a reading of Nishida alongside St. Thomas can shed new light on the problems of being and nothingness
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Le monde intelligible de Nishida. Introduction
No full textThe following article introduces the first three parts of NISHIDA Kitarô (HBB^# 6l5)'s essay «The Intelligible World» (see translation) considered as the most important and the best constructed essay in the fifth tome of Nishida's work. It offers the reader a systematic view of the three universals which constitute his logic of basho, notably the third, «universal of intelligible», which takes into account the intelligible world. It also focuses on absolute nothingness, which embraces the three universals. This article follows the lineaments of Nishida's thought, i.e. , his methodology and the clearing of the intelligible domain from acts of consciousness (part I) ; the recall of universal of self-awareness and of the important notions in the context of overtaking of consciousness, namely «self-awareness», «abstract» and «concrete» universals, as well as «embrace» and «voluntary self» (part II) ; and the role of «will» as that which overtakes consciousness as well as the transition towards the intelligible (part III). (To be continued)Cet article présente les trois premières parties (sur un total de 9) de l'essai «Le monde intelligible» de NISHIDA Kitarô (®ffl£&#E&) (dont la traduction suit). Cet essai est le plus important et le mieux construit du cinquième volume de l'œuvre complète de Nishida, qui y fait une présentation systématique des trois universels constituant sa «logique du basho», notamment le troisième, à savoir l'«universel de l'intelligible», qui rend compte du monde intelligible. Il porte attention, également, au «néant absolu», qui englobe les trois universels. Cet article suit les linéaments de la pensée de Nishida, à savoir sa «méthodologie» et le dégagement du domaine de l'intelligible à partir des «actes de la conscience» (partie I) ; le rappel de 1' «universel de l'éveil à soi» et des notions importantes dans le contexte du dépassement de la conscience, à savoir 1' «éveil à soi», les universels «abstrait» et «concret», l'«englobement» et le «soi volontaire» (partie II) ; le rôle de la «volonté» comme dépassement de la conscience, ainsi que la transition vers l'intelligible (partie III).

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
