Differential diagnosis. Differs from Antipathozoanthus macaronesicus (Ocaña & Brito, 2004) (with regards to distribution; Galapagos as opposed to Cape Verde), coloration (no red or cream colors observed in A. macaronesicus), substrate (Antipathes galapagensis as opposed to Tanacetipathes cavernicola Opresko, 2001). Other morphologically similar and undescribed zoanthids (epizoic on antipatharians, similar sizes, yellowish in color) have been recorded from Madagascar and Japan (specimens in JDR’s collection), although these other specimens were found on different antipatharian species than Antipathozoanthus hickmani, and were never red or cream in color. Antipathozoanthus hickmani is the only zoanthid in the Galápagos found on living Antipathes galapagensis (Table 3). Habitat and distribution. All collected samples from Galapagos were on the black coral Antipathes galapagensis, at depths of 12 m to 35 m. Although A. galapagensis is found throughout the archipelago, Antipathozoanthus hickmani colonies were observed only at Santiago, Floreana, Isabela and Pinzon Islands, and it may be that this genus has a patchy distribution in the Galápagos. A. hickmani is potentially also found at Isla del Coco (Costa Rica) on the same antipatharian species, based on Museo de Zoologia, University of Costa Rica specimen UCR 827, although this has yet to be confirmed with detailed examinations. Biology and associated species. Antipathozoanthus hickmani may cover only a portion of a living Antipathes galapagensis black coral colony, or cover the entire colony, suggesting this species may be parasitic. Some A. hickmani specimens were found on completely dead A. galapagensis colonies or branches. Notes. Previously mentioned in Reimer et al. (2008b, 2010) and Hickman (2008) as Parazoanthus sp. G1.Published as part of Reimer, James & Fujii, Takuma, 2010, Four new species and one new genus of zoanthids (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia) from the Galapagos Islands, pp. 1-36 in ZooKeys 42 (42) on pages 6-14, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.42.378, http://zenodo.org/record/57665

Massive Stars in Colliding Wind Systems: the GLAST Perspective
Get PDFColliding winds of massive stars in binary systems are considered as candidate sites of high-energy non-thermal photon emission. They are already among the suggested counterparts for a few individual unidentified EGRET sources, but may constitute a detectable source population for the GLAST observatory. The present work investigates such population study of massive colliding wind systems at high-energy gamma-rays. Based on the recent detailed model (Reimer et al. 2006) for non-thermal photon production in prime candidate systems, we unveil the expected characteristics of this source class in the observables accessible at LAT energies. Combining the broadband emission model with the presently cataloged distribution of such systems and their individual parameters allows us to conclude on the expected maximum number of LAT-detections among massive stars in colliding wind binary systems

Colonies may reach sizes of over a meter in diameter.</p> <p> <i>Morphology</i>: <i>Terrazoanthus onoi</i> has bright red or red-brown oral disks and the outer surface of polyps is tan to dark brown, with polyps relatively clear of the coenenchyme. <i>T. onoi</i> has 32 to 40 tentacles that are almost as long as the diameter of the expanded oral disk (Figure 3).</p> <p> <i>Cnidae</i>: Basitrichs and microbasic p-mastigophores (often difficult to distinguish), holotrichs (large, medium, and small), spirocysts (see Table 2, Figure 9).</p> <p> <b>Differential diagnosis.</b> In the Galápagos, <i>Terrazoanthus onoi</i> differs from <i>Parazoanthus darwini</i> and <i>Antipathozoanthus hickmani</i> by substrate preference (rock as opposed to sponges and anthipatharians, respectively), as well as from <i>Terrazoanthus sinnigeri</i> sp. n. (below) by both color (bright red as opposed to brown, white or transparent) and habitat ecology (exposed rock surfaces as opposed to under rocks and rubble). In addition, <i>T. onoi</i> is bigger (oral disk diameter and polyp height) than <i>T. sinnigeri</i>, and forms much larger colonies (Table 3). <i>T. onoi</i> commonly has only basitrichs and microbasic p-mastigophores in its pharynx, and no large or small holotrichs at all, unlike <i>T. sinnigeri</i> (Table 2).</p> <p>Phylogenetically, <i>Terrazoanthus onoi</i> is very closely related to <i>T. sinnigeri</i>, with identical COI and mt 16S rDNA sequences, but consistently differs by four base pairs in ITS-rDNA, and forms a clade separate from <i>T. sinnigeri</i>.</p> <p>An extensive literature search revealed no other described Parazoanthidae species from the Pacific that are non-epizoic and bright red in color. An undescribed zoanthid species inhabiting rock and coral reef substrata from Indonesia often referred to as “yellow polyps” (<i>sensu</i> Sinniger et al. 2005) is likely also a <i>Terrazoanthus</i> sp., but is distinct from <i>T. onoi</i> in terms of color and distribution, and is phylogenetically different.</p> <p> <b>Habitat and distribution.</b> Specimens of <i>Terrazoanthus onoi</i> were found on rock substrate in areas of high current (i.e., the base of large rocks, rock walls, etc.). Colonies were found at Darwin, Marchena, Genovesa, Isabela, Pinzon, Española, and Floreana Islands, and it is likely <i>T. onoi</i> is found throughout the archipelago. This species has been found from the low infra-littoral to depths of over 35 m, and is likely to be at even deeper depths.</p> <p> <b>Biology and associated species.</b> Found on the top surfaces of rocks and biogenic non-living substrate, <i>Terrazoanthus onoi</i> is often found close to sponges, seaweed, and oth- er benthos, but is not epizoic and does not have an association with any particular species.</p> <p> <b>Notes.</b> Previously mentioned in Reimer et al. (2008b, 2010) and Hickman (2008) as <i>Parazoanthus</i> sp. G3, except for specimen MISE 02-27 mentioned below.</p> <p>It should be noted that specimen MISE 02-27 was found to have an ITS-rDNA sequence inconsistent with other <i>Terrazoanthus onoi</i> specimens (Figure 6), although other data (morphology, mt 16S rDNA and COI data) fit well with <i>T. onoi</i>. For these reasons, this specimen has not been conclusively assigned to <i>T. onoi</i> or to the other new <i>Terrazoanthus</i> species below. These results indicate there may be other <i>Terrazoanthus</i> species in the Galápagos that await discovery and description.</p>Published as part of <i>Reimer, James & Fujii, Takuma, 2010, Four new species and one new genus of zoanthids (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia) from the Galapagos Islands, pp. 1-36 in ZooKeys 42 (42)</i> on pages 20-23, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.42.378, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/576650">http://zenodo.org/record/576650</a>
Consequences of Starbursts for the Interstellar and Intergalactic Medium
No full textStar formation in general, and starbursts in particular, drive the evolution of galaxies. To understand the process of galactic matter cycle quantitatively, it is absolutely necessary to follow the evolution of the components of the interstellar medium, such as gas, magnetic fields, cosmic rays in detail over sufficiently long time scales. Due to the non-linearity of the interactions between the various components, and the turbulent nature of the plasma, high resolution numerical simulations offer the best strategy to further our understanding. The results of our numerical studies can be summarized as follows: (i) Supernova explosions are the most important energy input sources in the ISM and lead to a high level of turbulence in the plasma, coupling structures on all scales, (ii) more than half of the disk mass resides in classically thermally unstable temperature regimes, (iii) turbulent mixing is the dominant energy transport process over a wide range of scales, (iv) proportionality between magnetic field and density is generally weak, except for the densest regions, (v) magnetic fields, even if they are parallel to the galactic disk, cannot prevent outflow into the halo, (vi) the ionization structure of the plasma depends on its thermal history, and is in general not in collisional ionization equilibrium, (vii) the cooling function varies in space and time, (viii) X-rays can be emitted even at plasma temperatures of the order of 104K due to delayed recombination, both in the disk and the halo, (ix) cosmic rays can help driving a galactic wind, (x) cosmic rays can be accelerated to high energies beyond 1015eV (the “knee”) in long lived shocks propagating into the galactic halo, because of time-dependent star formation
Software for qualitative research: 2. Some thoughts on ‘aiding’ analysis
No full textIn this paper the author examines how Korea's export-oriented economy has laid its new foundation for global competitiveness by deepening interfirm linkages. Korea's interfirm linkages refer mainly to the relationship between large and small firms. Recent corporate restructuring in the large and small firm sectors has caused denser and highly dynamic intercorporate networks to arise. The author argues that the globalizing of economy in Korea is encouraged by efficacious global - local transactions via large - small firm networks, a matter ignored by most analysts. Major foci are on analyzing the forms, structures, governing mechanisms, and function of large - small firm networks
