S . P . Q . R . Legged Team Report from RoboCup 2003

This report describes the development of techniques and the overall architecture organization of the software as well as the main achievements obtained in the competition RoboCup 2003. More specifically, we describe both the development efforts performed in 2003 (i.e. the realization of an efficient and robust color segmentation algorithm, the development of a localization technique based on Ka...

Elephantis, a new genus for Caridina natalensis Bouvier, 1925 from eastern rivers of Madagascar.

Elephantis, new genus, is established for Caridina natalensis Bouvier, 1925 hitherto known only from South Africa with one male specimen. Recently, three surveys by electric fishing (2004, 2008 and 2010) of some eastern rivers from Madagascar have permitted to discover numerous specimens of this species. Caridina natalensis is different from all other known species of Caridina by its remarkably...

Caridina simoni Bouvier, 1904 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea: Atyoidea: Atyidae) and the synonymy by Johnson, 1963.

Johnson (1963) attempted to review the 'Caridina nilotica complex' established by Bouvier (1925) and as a result considered several distinct freshwater shrimp species from Indo-West Pacific region as junior synonyms of C. simoni Bouvier, 1904. However, Tiwari and Pillai (1971) indicated the need to clarify the taxonomical status of the many synonyms created by Johnson (1963). Therefore, type an...

Se p 20 03 1 The First Direct Supernova / GRB Connection : GRB 030329 / SN 2003 dh

Observations of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows have yielded tantalizing hints that supernovae (SNe) and GRBs are related. The case had been circumstantial, though, relying on irregularities in the light curve or the colors of the afterglow. I will present observations of the optical afterglow of GRB 030329. The early spectra show a power-law continuum, consistent with other GRB afterglows. Af...
