    <i>Patellapis (Chaetalictus) timpageleri</i> sp. n. Timmermann <p>(Figs. 108a–g; 109a–h)</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> The male differs from those of <i>P. sakagamii</i> and <i>P. pulchrinitens</i> in having the clypeus and supraclypeal area densely punctate, whereas <i>P. sakagamii</i> and <i>P. pulchrinitens</i> have a highly polished face with well separated fine punctures on clypeus and supraclypeal area. The male of <i>P. renosterveldi</i> differs from <i>P. timpageleri</i> in the scutal surface, which is completely reticulate in <i>P. renosterveldi</i> and at most partly reticulate anteriorly in <i>P. timpageleri</i>. The male of <i>P. minima</i> is clearly separated from all other species of this species-group in having no hairs on the dorso-lateral projection of the gonostylus. The male of <i>P. spinulosa</i> can be distinguished from that of <i>P. timpageleri</i> by having the scutal surface more sparsely punctate (i= 2,0d) than in <i>P. timpageleri</i> (i= 1,5d). The female of <i>P. timpageleri</i> is similar to that of <i>P. spinulosa</i>. Both can be distinguished by the punctation of the scutum, which is more densely punctate in <i>P. timpageleri</i> (i= 1,5d) than in <i>P. spinulosa</i> (i= 2,0d). Females of all other species belonging to this species-group differ from <i>P. timpageleri</i> in having the scutum completely reticulate.</p> <p> <b>Description</b></p> <p> <b>Female</b>.

    Hardy type derivations on fields of exponential logarithmic series

    No full text
    AbstractWe consider the valued field K:=R((Γ)) of formal series (with real coefficients and monomials in a totally ordered multiplicative group Γ). We investigate how to endow K with a logarithm l, which satisfies some natural properties such as commuting with infinite products of monomials. We studied derivations on K (Kuhlmann and Matusinski, in press [KM10]). Here, we investigate compatibility conditions between the logarithm and the derivation, i.e. when the logarithmic derivative is the derivative of the logarithm. We analyze sufficient conditions on a given derivation to construct a compatible logarithm via integration of logarithmic derivatives. In Kuhlmann (2000) [Kuh00], the first author described the exponential closure KEL of (K,l). Here we show how to extend such a log-compatible derivation on K to KEL

    Reconstitution of SNARE proteins into solid-supported lipid bilayer stacks and X-ray structure analysis.

    No full text
    SNAREs are known as an important family of proteins mediating vesicle fusion. For various biophysical studies, they have been reconstituted into supported single bilayers via proteoliposome adsorption and rupture. In this study we extended this method to the reconstitution of SNAREs into supported multilamellar lipid membranes, i.e. oriented multibilayer stacks, as an ideal model system for X-ray structure analysis (X-ray reflectivity and diffraction). The reconstitution was implemented through a pathway of proteomicelle, proteoliposome and multibilayer. To monitor the structural evolution in each step, we used small-angle X-ray scattering for the proteomicelles and proteoliposomes, followed by X-ray reflectivity and grazing-incidence small-angle scattering for the multibilayers. Results show that SNAREs can be successfully reconstituted into supported multibilayers, with high enough orientational alignment for the application of surface sensitive X-ray characterizations. Based on this protocol, we then investigated the effect of SNAREs on the structure and phase diagram of the lipid membranes. Beyond this application, this reconstitution protocol could also be useful for X-ray analysis of many further membrane proteins

    We survey some important properties of fields of generalized series and of exponential-logarithmic series, with particular emphasis on their possible differential structure, based on a joint work of the author with S. Kuhlmann [KM12b,KM11]

    The tree of performance knowledge:Eugenio Barba

    No full text
    Ledger and Kuhlmann take as their point of departure Odin Teatret’s Clear Enigma, performed once only at the group’s fiftieth anniversary (2014), to suggest the roots of an original historiographic approach, or shape, to a discussion of Barba’s work. Embracing Barba’s occasionally paradoxical approaches, the authors’ non-chronological, rhizomatic-like account unfolds from a central concern with Barba’s production The Tree (2016), providing a point of connection to the various ‘branches’ of his work since 1964. Barba’s understanding of dramaturgy as a keyword for theatre making is set against the ‘Country of Speed’ and a landscape metaphor for the exilic condition of ‘Third Theatre’ organisations. Barba’s intercultural practices are assessed, and the chapter considers Barba’s status as a researcher and author, published in multiple languages. The authors incorporate notions of the ‘living archive’ and legacy, but Barba’s theme of death, a paradoxical condition of theatrical life, concludes the chapter
