SAVIO collected; 14 ex., CHINA, Shanghai (121°29′E, 31°13′N), O. PIEL collected. [Deposited in Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IZ-CAS)] Diagnosis. This new species belongs to the cicindeloides group. It can be easily distinguished from S. (H.) verticalis Benick and S. (H.) primivenatus Zhao & Zhou sp. nov. by the absence of spots on elytra. It is similar to S. (H.) cicindeloides (Schaller), but differs from the latter by having a broad apical part of median lobe and a different spermatheca structure. Detailed description and illustrations of the species are provided by Zhao & Zhou (2008).Published as part of Zhao, Cai-Yun & Zhou, Hong-Zhang, 2020, Validation of Stenus (Hypostenus) primivenatus and Stenus (Hypostenus) yiae (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Steninae), pp. 591-592 in Zootaxa 4881 (3) on page 591, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4881.3.11, http://zenodo.org/record/428387

The Princess in the Castle: Challenging Serious Game Play for Integrated Policy Analysis and Planning
No full textWhat are the principles that make societal problems socio-technically complex? And, even more important, how can we support public policymaking in the wake of socio-technical complexity? In The Princess in the Castle, the author investigates if, why and how serious games and game-like simulations (SGs) can support integrated policy making and planning, especially in relation to managing rivers and oceans. She argues that ‘playful methods’ are particularly suited to surround sophisticated analysis with extensive participation. The book contains many examples and illustrations but centres on: the Climate Game, used in a neighbourhood reconstruction project incorporating climate adaptation measures; The Blokkendoos Planning Kit, used in the Netherlands’ planning project Room for the River for integrated flood management; the MSP Challenge, used to further the development of integrated, eco-system based marine spatial planning. The book provides a de- and re-construction of the ‘principles of play’ that underlying integrated policy analysis. The perceived usefulness of game-like tools in the Dutch and Chinese policy contexts is empirically studied. The author concludes that serious games for policy-making and planning are powerful methods with largely untapped potential. Yet, without room to play they can be easily turn into ineffective and expensive toys. Qiqi Zhou is a researcher at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. She is involved in several research projects with Dutch and Chinese universities.Policy, Organization, Law and Gaming (POLG)Technology, Policy and Managemen

Eight-dimensional quantum reaction rate calculations for the H+CH4 and H-2+CH3 reactions on recent potential energy surfaces
No full textEight-dimensional (8D) transition-state wave packet simulations have been performed on two latest potential energy surfaces (PES), the Zhou-Fu-Wang-Collins-Zhang (ZFWCZ) PES [Y. Zhou, B. Fu, C. Wang, M. A. Collins, and D. H. Zhang, J. Chem. Phys. 134, 064323 (2011)] and the Xu-ChenZhang (XCZ)-neural networks (NN) PES [X. Xu, J. Chen, and D. H. Zhang, Chin. J. Chem. Phys. 27, 373 (2014)]. Reaction rate constants for both the H+CH4 reaction and the H-2+CH3 reaction are calculated. Simulations of the H+CH4 reaction based on the XCZ-NN PES show that the ZFWCZ PES predicts rate constants with reasonable high accuracy for low temperatures while leads to slightly lower results for high temperatures, in line with the distribution of interpolation error associated with the ZFWCZ PES. The 8D H+CH4 rate constants derived on the ZFWCZ PES compare well with full-dimensional 12D results based on the equivalent m-ZFWCZ PES, with a maximum relative difference of no more than 20%. Additionally, very good agreement is shown by comparing the 8D XCZ-NN rate constants with the 12D results obtained on the ZFWCZ-WM PES, after considering the difference in static barrier height between these two PESs. The reaction rate constants calculated for the H-2+CH3 reaction are found to be in good consistency with experimental observations. (c) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC
