Belokobylskiy “ [printed]; “ PARATYPUS Therates belokobylskiyi new species, det. A. V. Matalin and J. Wiesner, 2005” [printed, red]. Nomenclatural note. Description of Th. haucki was based on two females from Nan (Thailand). These specimens are consistent with females from Houaphan (Laos), a site from which males of this species were also collected. I therefore included the Houaphan specimens within the concept of Th. haucki. In addition, the males from Houaphan were consistent with the species Th. belokobylskiyi, which was described on the basis of two males from Hao Binh (Vietnam), thus Th. belokobylskiyi is considered a synonymy of Th. haucki. Diagnosis. Distinguished by the combination of laterally brownish ventral segments and elytra with completely brownish or brownish yellow basal humps and light apical dot that extends forward medially. Re-description. Size: Total length (without labrum) 6.3 mm-8.0 mm (mean= 7.2 mm, n=15). Head: Shining greenish black. Mandibles yellowish, brownish distally in females, teeth brownish marginally. Labrum (male Fig. 349, female Fig. 350) as long as wide, yellowish, with six apical teeth and one lateral tooth. Labial and maxillary palpi yellowish. Antennae slender, extending posteriorally behind elytral shoulders in females, longer in males, scape with a single apical bristle, antennomeres 2 to 5 glabrous, antennomeres 6 to 11 finely and evenly pubescent; scape yellowish above, black on underside, all the other antennal segments brownish black. Clypeus glabrous. Frons smooth, with a transverse furrow in the posterior part of the orbital plates. Thorax: Pronotum shining greenish black, as long as wide, constricted in front and at back, transverse furrows strong, middle line and lateral lines nearly obsolete, middle line with several transverse short branches. Elytra: Shining brownish black, with basal and apical humps, distinctly punctate in front, shallower in the apical third (Fig. 344). Apex with rounded lateral corner and sutural corner, straight between. Maculation composed of a brownish yellow humeral lunule connected with a transverse central dot, brownish yellow basal dot, light yellow apical dot which extends forward medially, the remainder of the basal hump being darker brown, as are the elytra as a whole at the sutural margin (Figs. 345-347). Ventral aspect: Venter black, ventrites brownish marginally. Legs yellowish, tibiae and tarsomeres somewhat darkened distally. Aedeagus: (Fig. 348) curved, produced into a thin tip distally, total length 1.5 mm. Distribution. Thailand (Nan), Laos (Houaphan), Vietnam (Hoa Binh). Localities.

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
