Xeruca Shih 2015
No full text<i>Xeruca</i> Shih, 2015, status nov. <p>(Fig. 12B)</p> <p> <i>Xeruca</i> Shih, 2015: 154. Type species: <i>Uca formosensis</i> Rathbun, 1921, by original designation. Gender feminine.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> Large-sized species (carapace width about 30 mm in adults); dorsal carapace surface without posterolateral striae; front narrow; cornea round; eyestalks slender; adult male major cheliped very large; right- or left-handed, deep fingers (with straight cutting margins>1/2 length of fingers), pollex without ventral carina, outer surface of major manus with moderate-szied to large tubercles, carpus with anterodorsal area flattened to facilitate chela flexion, setae on merus of minor cheliped long, thin; male pleonites free; pleonal locking mechanism absent; no setae on lateral margins of posterior stem region of urocardiac ossicles in gastric mill. Taiwan endemic.</p> <p> <b>Species included</b>:</p> <p> <i>Xeruca formosensis</i> (Rathbun, 1921).</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> Although Rathbun described this large endemic Taiwanese species in Rathbun (1921), it was not well known until the work of Shih et al. (1999). Crane (1975) placed it with <i>U. tetragonon</i> and the <i>U. vocans</i> species-complex, in <i>Thalassuca</i> (= <i>Gelasimus</i>), although she had examined only a few specimens. Shih et al. (1999) suggested that it was closely related to <i>Tubuca</i>, but cautioned that more study was needed to confirm its status. Shih (2015) recently established a separate taxon <i>Xeruca</i> for this species based on morphological (see Rosenberg, 2001) and molecular evidence. The present work (Fig. 2) and Shih (2015) show <i>Xeruca</i> to be basal to the main <i>Tubuca</i> clade which confirms earlier relationship speculation (Crane, 1975; Shih et al., 1999; Rosenberg, 2001). The monotypic <i>Xeruca</i> is confined to Taiwan Island and the adjacent Penghu Islands, and thus has the smallest distribution of any genus in the Ocypodidae (Fig. 4).</p>Published as part of <i>Shih, Hsi-Te, Ng, Peter K.

Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
Full text linkThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region
