Wharia willcocksorum Brown & Oliver, 2008, n. sp.
No full text<i>Wharia willcocksorum</i> n. sp. <p> <b>Description.</b> Critical characters of the definition of this species are given in the Diagnosis for the genus. Other characters observed in specimens belonging to the species are as follows:</p> <p>Body length 0.9–1.8 mm; color brown to dark brown.</p> <p>Male: Frons blackish-brown; mean frontal width 0.55 head width, range 0.52–0.58. One pair of reclinate supra-antennal setae present. Ventral fronto-orbital setae absent; other normal frontal setae present (one pair each of dorsal and ventral interfrontal setae, dorsal fronto-orbital setae, inner vertical setae, and ocellar setae). Flagellomere 1 enlarged, oval; arista subapical. Scutum and pleuron dark brown. Legs, including coxae, lighter brown than rest of body. Wing venation as in Fig. 14; mean costal length 0.46 wing length, range 0.43– 0.49; halter brown. Abdominal tergites brown. Male terminalia brown; both sides of epandrium with one long and several shorter setae; medially with elongate, ventrally-curved process below cerci (Figs. 15–16); hypandrial lobes large, especially right one, which curves medially under rest of terminalia (Fig. 15).</p> <p>Female: Similar to male, but flagellomere 1 smaller, rounder. Abdominal tergite 1 relatively large, onehalf length of tergite 2; tergites 2–6 gradually reduced posteriorly, without visible gland openings between tergites. Segments 1–6 lacking sternites. Abdomen posterior to segment 6 largely membranous, non-parasitic type. Tergite 7 absent, tergite 8 narrow, triangular (broader apically). Sternite 7 elongate, narrow strip, sternite 8 absent. Cerci present, unmodified.</p> <p> <b>Variation.</b> The process at the base of the hind femur of male specimens is remarkably varied, if these specimens do indeed only represent a single species. The process ranges from a rounded posterior opening covered with thin membrane (Figs. 5–6), a similar rounded ventral opening (Figs. 7–8), a small, narrow opening, and no opening at all (Figs. 11–12). Above the opening is a distinctive row of setae that can be linear (Fig. 6) or otherwise organized (Figs. 8, 10, 12). The variation in structures is not geographically organized, and all of the morphs can be found in the Turangi area. Some specimens exist that are intermediate to the ones shown.</p> <p> If these hind femoral structures are used to stimulate females during mating, as in the genus <i>Dohrniphora</i> Dahl (Brown & Kung, 2007), they are expected to be highly species specific (Eberhard, 1985). Thus, this variation could be evidence for a large number of cryptic species. At this time, however, we prefer to recognize a single, varied species, until further evidence (such as DNA sequences) can be brought to bear on the subject. The specimen we designated as the holotype has a hind leg similar to Figs. 5–6. We did not designate any other type material, so that in the future, if more species are recognized, their names will not be burdened with this synonym.</p> <p> <b>Derivation of specific epithet.</b> Named for Irene and Colin Willcocks, who kindly allowed us to collect phorid specimens on their property.</p> <p> <b>Natural history.</b> Unknown.</p> <p>Holotype. ɗ, NEW ZEALAND: North Island: Raglan, 37.83°S, 174.82°E, 5–8.ii.2006, B.

Negotiating Transaction Cost Economics: Oliver Williamson and his audiences
Get PDFThe article studies the interaction between Oliver Williamson and his audiences in the construction of Transaction Cost Economics (TCE). His attentiveness to the feedback from different groups has played a major role in the success of TCE. First we discuss briefly the relevance of rhetoric to the study of economics. Rhetoric stresses that economists talk not to a void, but to peers and lay people with their habits, interests, institutional conditionings and values. Using the toolbox of rhetoric we identify Williamson’s intended audiences. Next we discuss his lists of claimed antecedents and the changes made therein. We explore how those (changing) connections could possibly have incited different audiences. In what follows, we use citation data to delineate his actual readers. This helps compare intended and actual audiences as we close with a discussion of Williamson’s ability to modify his intended reader and widen the audience of TCE in the social sciences.
World War I record of service survey for Oliver Y. Leonard, signed 28 April 1926.
No full textQuestionnaire about Oliver Yeaton Leonard's service in World War I, 1917-1919, signed by Leonard on 28 April 1926.Questionnaire originally part of a survey of Norwich University alumni conducted by a “Norwich in the World War” committee consisting of Charles N. Barber (chairman), Carl V. Woodbury, K.R.B. Flint, and Gustaf A. Nelson. Data from these questionnaires may have been used in a chapter of "Vermont in the world war, 1917-1919" by Harold P. Sheldon (1928)
"This World of Sorrow and Trouble": The Criminal Type of Oliver Twist
Get PDFThis thesis looks at the criminals of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist as a criminal type: impoverished, unattractive people who lack family roots. It establishes connections between the criminal characters themselves as well as the real-world conditions which inspired their stereotypes. The conditions of poverty and a lack of family being tied to criminality is founded in reality, while the tendency for criminals to be unattractive is based on social bias and prejudice. It also identifies conflicting ideologies in the prevailing Victorian mindset that begins to emerge as a result of research into the criminal type.Master of Arts (MA)Englis
