Coquillett (1893) had previously described the larval and egg stages of this species, and was subsequently cited as the author by Gordon (1972, 1985). Gordon (1972) designated a fourth instar larva as the neotype of <i>Novius koebelei</i> Coquillett but this action is invalid (based on an individual that is insufficient to ensure recognition), and unnecessary because the first description of this species appeared in 1892 in the report by A. Craw who illustrated the adult and larvae accompanied by the name <i>Novius Koebelei</i>, Olliff. According to the ICZN Art 74.4, we here designate the specimen illustrated in fig. 3 of that paper as the lectotype of <i>Novius koebelei</i> Olliff in Craw (1892).</p>Published as part of <i>Pang, Hong, Tang, Xue-Fei, Booth, Roger G., Vandenberg, Natalia, Forrester, Juanita, Mchugh, Joseph & Ślipiński, Adam, 2020, Revision Of The Australian Coccinellidae (Coleoptera).

Mechanical and microstructural data from deformation experiments on marine and meteoric ice from the Amery Ice Shelf
No full textProgress Code: completedStatement: Experiment LC020 is missing a large amount of displacement data due to a malfunctioning dial gauge. Grain sizes from all meteoric ice samples are unreliable, as they are very large relative to the sample/section size. Strain rate data from meteoric ice samples are likely controlled by a small number of grains, for the same reason.<b>Purpose</b><br/>This dataset was collected as part of a project to quantify the rheology of marine ice in comparison with other ice types.These data were collected from compressional ice deformation experiments on samples of standard (laboratory-made) ice, and marine and meteoric ice from the Amery Ice Shelf, cores AM01, AM04 and G1.

Orbifold Quot schemes via the Le Bruyn-Procesi theorem
No full textThis note provides a short proof of the fact that the reduced scheme underlying each orbifold Quot scheme associated to a finite subgroup of SL(2,C) is isomorphic to a Nakajima quiver variety. Our approach uses recent work of the author with Yamagishi, allowing us to bypass the combinatorial arguments and the use of recollement from the original paper with Gammelgaard, Gyenge and Szendroi.5 pages. This is an expanded version of a short article submitted to Proceedings of the ZAG semina

A Historical and Stylistic Analysis of the Sonata, Op. 31, No. 2 in D Minor of Beethoven
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to give a historical and stylistic analysis of the Sonata, Op.31, No.2 in D minor of Beethoven. The historical background of Beethoven, the time period the sonata was written, and the influence that the piano of the time had on the sonata is first discussed. The author then discusses the general aspects of Beethoven's style followed by a detailed analysis of the sonata
ORTHO-WISE: ORTHODONTICS WEB-BASED INTERACTIVE SIMULATION ENVIRONMENT
No full textSimulated Patient encounters are widely used in order to provide students with the opportunity to harness their synthesis, analysis, and decision making skills without regard to time of day or physical location and without risk to both patient and student. Orthodontists nowadays are having a hard time acquiring the required number of patients to be diagnosed and treated inside the clinic. Orthodontics Web-Based Interactive Simulation Environment (Ortho-WISE) is an online application, written in PHP connected to a MySQL database that allows Orthodontist professors to author cases optimized for dental education and allows students to “meet” the simulated patients and diagnose and plan treatment for them. Students are able to learn more through metacognition by comparing their work to that of the case authors’ and by receiving feedback. Ortho-WISE also includes a forum that could facilitate discussion for students and professors about the simulated cases and diagnoses and treatment plans for them

Bureau of Highway TrafficEno Foundation for Highway Traffic ControlLe Craw, Charles S.Eno Foundation for Highway Traffic ControlYale University. Bureau of Highway TrafficUS Transportation CollectionIn this thesis the author, Mr. Charles S. LeCraw, has dealt with some of the economic aspects pertinent to off-street parking facilities in the interior of urban business blocks. In light of the present extreme shortage of off street parking facilities this study is felt especially timely. It may suggest practical approaches to the improvement of parking conditions in those cities where land development. lends itself to utilization of interior-block areas for private vehicle storage88
Minedition
No full textThis is a lovely book I happened to find when I was trying to spend down the little money left on my Eurocheck debit card in the late days of my stay in Mannheim. The book is unusual in opening not from right to left but from down to up; that is, one needs to hold it sideways and lift the cover. The cover picture shows the half-painted jackdaw as he returns after opening his craw and being recognized by the doves whose food he was eating. Why does his fellow jackdaw have various colored feathers protruding from his black body and even one such feather in his beak? The pearl that the rooster finds in CJ is part of a ring. The little goat dancing for the wolf uses a hula-hoop! The expanding frog in OF is about to reach the ceiling of a modernistic garden-house! He is elevated off the floor like a helium-filled balloon. The one illustration for FS includes both the plate for the stork and the vase for the fox. In fact, the wall behind the stork features several plates and the floor behind the fox shows three large vases with steam bubbles emerging from them. The resting hare in TH has a hammock slung across the trail. The dropped meat bubbles through the text, dividing its lines in DS. The grapes break down through the ceiling of the fox's room in FG as clouds blow through the windows. The city mouse is fishing in the soup at the city meal in TMCM! A highway--or a racetrack?--winds among cheese wedges and salt and pepper shakers in this fable's tailpiece. The rack of the stag in the pool reaches out like a tree and even includes a birdhouse! What lovely imaginative work! The book is, as regularly with Neugebauer, beautifully produced.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: GermanNacherzählt von Renate Raeck
N.: Complexity-guided case discovery for case based reasoning
No full textThe distribution of cases in the case base is critical to the performance of a Case Based Reasoning system. The case author is given little support in the positioning of new cases during the development stage of a case base. In this paper we argue that classification boundaries represent important regions of the problem space. They are used to identify locations where new cases should be acquired. We introduce two complexityguided algorithms which use a local complexity measure and boundary identification techniques to actively discover cases close to boundaries. The ability of these algorithms to discover new cases that significantly improve the accuracy of case bases is demonstrated on five public domain classification datasets
