    Fundamentals of Light and Lasers: Diffraction

    No full text
    This lecture, presented by Dr. Chrys Panayiotou, covers the basics of diffraction as it relates to the fundamentals of light and lasers. First, Panayiotou defines diffraction (which is the phenomenon caused by interference between waves coming from secondary coherent sources located on the same undivided wavefront), and uses this definition to launch into a discussion of Huygens' Principle and the two methods that produce diffraction. Panayiotou ends the lecture with a summary of all topics introduced.&nbsp

    <i>Berinda cypria</i> Chatzaki & Panayiotou n. sp. <p>Figs 13–14, 17, 20–21</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The species name is derived from the island in which the type locality is situated.</p> <p> <b>Types:</b> CYPRUS: Lemesos, Kourio: 1 3 holotype, 6 33 1 Ƥ paratypes (15.III.2006 to 27.V.2007) [leg. Kaltsas, NHMC].</p> <p> <b>Further material examined.</b> CYPRUS: Lemesos, Kourio: 3 33 1 Ƥ (13.V.2006 to 09.VII.2006); 1 Ƥ (15.III.2008 to 17.V.2008) [leg. Kaltsas, NHMC].</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis:</b> <i>B. cypria</i> is very similar to <i>B. ensigera</i> and <i>B. hakani</i> in somatic and genital characters. It may be easily separated from them by the presence of two tibial apophyses on the male palp. Females differ from <i>B. ensigera</i> in the shape of lateral margins and the formation of lateral pouches situated at their middle and from both <i>B. ensigera</i> and <i>B. hakani</i> in the shape of scape being more elongated.</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> Measurements 3 (Ƥ), n = 6 (1): TL: 5.7–7.4 (6.2), PL: 1.9–3.2 (2.8), PW: 1.9–2.4 (1.9), OL: 2.9–3.5 (3.2), PL/PW: 0.95–1.52 (1.47).</p> <p> 3Ƥ: Red-brown spiders. Maxillae as in <i>Zelotes</i>. Labium longer than wide. Chelicerae with 2 anterior and 4 posterior teeth and with lateral condyles. Brush of thick hair present on inner posterior side of chelicerae. Eyes round except for oblique PME. Anterior row of eyes slightly recurved, posterior one slightly procurved. Opisthosoma grey, in 3 with scutum, covered with thick fringe of bristles. Spinnerets long and cylindrical, anterior ones longer, thicker than posteriors.</p> <p> Legs: All Ta with scopulae, Me III–IV with apical preening comb, as in <i>Zelotes</i>. Spination: Fe: I -; 3 II -; Ƥ II d 2; 3 III d 6–8; Ƥ III d 7; 3 IV d 5–6; Ƥ IV d 6. Pa: I–II, IV -; III p 1 r 1. Ti: I -; 3 II v 3–4; Ƥ II -; Ti: I -; 3 II v 3–4; Ƥ II -; III–IV spinose. Me: I v 1; 3 II v 3–4; Ƥ II v 2; III–IV spinose.</p> <p> 3 Pedipalp (Figs 13–14, 17): Fe with 2 spines, Pa short, without apophysis. Two tibial apophyses: one dorsal, laterally directed, straight, with crested end (Figs 14, 17), and one retrolateral, straight with hinge on its end (Fig. 14). Cymbium oval with retrolateral furrow, its retrolateral proximal angle slightly extended (Fig. 14). Second furrow behind tibial apophysis also present (Fig. 17). Subtegulum with triangular projection at its proximal end (Fig. 13). Tegulum robust, ventrally membranous, with distinct conductor. Embolus long, filiform, rising from proximal base of tegulum. Conductor with three elements, as in <i>B. ensigera</i>: membranous anterior sac (a), sickle-shaped guiding structure (b), leading to sclerotized posterior hook (c).</p> <p> Epigyne (Fig. 20): with long, extended anterior scape as in <i>B. ensigera</i>, but longer, more slender. Lateral margins almost parallel, widening posteriorly, forming lateral pouches which may provide anchoring place for palpal hook. Copulatory orifices open at upper part of spermathecal length.</p> <p>Vulva (Fig. 21): Introductory ducts with glandular heads, forming one coil before leading to oval spermathecae.</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> CYPRUS.</p>Published as part of <i>Panayiotou, Eleni, Kaltsas, Dimitris, Seyyar, Osman & Chatzaki, Maria, 2010, Revision of the genus Berinda (Araneae, Gnaphosidae) in the East Mediterranean with the description of two new species, pp. 44-54 in Zootaxa 2362</i> on page 50, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/275752">10.5281/zenodo.275752</a&gt

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
