Terpnacarus zaheri Momen, Sayed & Nasr, 2004, n. sp.
Terpnacarus zaheri n. sp. (Figs 1–7) ADULT FEMALE. Dimensions: length of body (including gnathosoma) 333–346, length of body (excluding gnathosoma) 301–306, breadth of body 180–189. Dorsum (Figs 1 & 2). The prodorsum bears 6 pairs of setae (Fig. 2). Setae le robust, distinctly logner than setae xp and in, are of equal length of setae xa (35–38), setae ro (14– 16), which situated on the naso, are shorter than setae in (18–21). Setae xp are very small and pectinate. The naso is large and bears a lenslike eye ventrally. Sensillae bo are filamentous and ciliate (56–61 long). The central part of the prodorsum has longitudinal smooth striae. The hysterosoma (Fig. 1) bears 36 pairs of plumose setae which are situated in 9 transverse rows. Striae on the dorsum of the hysterosoma are smooth. Venter: The genital opening (Fig. 6) is relatively large and the covers are clearly defined. Each cover bears 14 large and pilose setae, arranged in two rows. Three pairs of genital papillae as well as 3 pairs of long, nude internal setae are present. Six pairs of paragenital setae are present. The anal pore is surrounded by 6 pairs of anal setae and 5 pairs of paraanals. Gnathosoma (Figs. 3–5): The chelicerae (Fig. 3) are bulky, chelatedentate and bear 2 setae dorsally. The hypognathum (Fig. 4) bears 6 pairs of setae, the anterior pair, small and nude, while the second pair are robust and relatively blunt distally. The rutella are well developed and each terminates in a sharp bladelike edge. The palpal tarsus (Fig. 5) bears 11 plumose setae, one smooth and short seta, one obtuse solenidion and terminally one yataganshaped solenidion. Legs: Leg setal patterns (formula indicates setation from tarsus to trochanter with solenidion in parentheses). Tarsus I (Fig. 7) bears one long, slender solenidion and one famulus, while tibia I bears 2 slender solenidia and genu I bears 3 mucronate solenidia. The ambulacra of all the legs are composed of a large, rayed clawlike empodium and two true claws which are barbed and smaller than the empodium. MALE: Unknown. Etymology: The new species is named for Prof. M. Zaher, Department of Zoology, Cairo University, Egypt. Type data: Female holotype collected from debris under date palm, paratypes 5 females collected with the holotype, Egypt, 20 September 2003 by Dr. A. A. Sayed. Remarks: The genus Terpnacarus has not been recorded in Egypt before this report. The new species resembles T.carolinaensis Theron (1976) described from South Africa in having smooth and fine striation on the hysterosomal integument. It differs from the latter by having 36 pairs of hysterosomal setae opposed to 34 pairs in T. carolinensis, in having one seta on trochanter I compared to nil in T. carolinaensis. It can be separated also by having 5 pairs of para anal setae compared to 6 pairs in T. carolinaensis.Published as part of Momen, F. M., Sayed, A. A. & Nasr, A.

Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
On the fractional-order logistic equation
AbstractThe topic of fractional calculus (derivatives and integrals of arbitrary orders) is enjoying growing interest not only among mathematicians, but also among physicists and engineers (see [E.M. El-Mesiry, A.M.A. El-Sayed, H.A.A. El-Saka, Numerical methods for multi-term fractional (arbitrary) orders differential equations, Appl. Math. Comput. 160 (3) (2005) 683–699; A.M.A. El-Sayed, Fractional differential–difference equations, J. Fract.

Data on the positive synergic action of dimethylacetamide and trehalose on quality of cryopreserved chicken sperm
AbstractThis data article contains supporting information regarding the research article entitled “Combined effect of permeant and non-permeant cryoprotectants on the quality of frozen/thawed chicken sperm”(Mosca et. al., 2016) [1]. The combined effect of the permeant cryoprotectants agent dimethylacetamide and the non-permeant cryoprotectants agent trehalose on the quality of frozen-thawed chicken semen was assessed. In particular, the quantitative dimethylacetamide/trehalose ratio was investigated freezing semen samples according to the following treatments: trehalose 0.1M+0% dimethylacetamide (DMA-0), trehalose 0.1M+3% dimethylacetamide (DMA-3), trehalose 0.1M+6% dimethylacetamide (DMA-6)
