A new subgenus Cretalinea subgen. nov. of Trichoneura (Diptera, Limoniidae) is established with one species: (Cretalinea) xavieri et sp. This the first report genus in Spanish amber and record from Lower Cretaceous period. The oldest described species compared other particular reference to those known Upper Cretaceous. list key fossil are given.

[1] This study attempts to reconcile the conflicting results reported in the literature concerning the behavior of peak-over-threshold (POT) daily rainfall extremes and their distribution. By using two worldwide data sets, the impact of threshold selection and record length on the upper tail behavior of POT observations is investigated. The rainfall process is studied within the framework of ge...

2016 desert symposium e Bouse Formation provides a sedimentary record of the rst arrival of the Colorado River, water and sediment, as it was integrated from the Colorado Plateau to the Gulf of California 5–6 Ma. is unit is generally thin (10–100s m) but widespread within basins in the lower Colorado River corridor that extend from Lake Mead to Yuma (Fig. 1). e basins are interpreted to have be...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate quality of life (QOL), upper extremity function and the effect of lymphedema treatment in patients with breast cancer related lymphedema. METHOD The basic data comprised medical records (detailing age, sex, dominant side, location of tumor, cancer stage, operation record, cancer treatment and limb circumferences) and questionnaires (lymphedema duration, satisfaction, sel...

[1] A 16 year record of expendable bathythermograph transects across Drake Passage is used to examine variability in upper-ocean heat content that is not associated with the annual cycle. Links between upper-ocean heat content and anomalous heat fluxes, winds, two large-scale climate indices, and mesoscale eddies and meanders are examined. Results suggest that interannual variations in surface ...

Wave field continuation transforms seismic record section data directly into velocity-depth space, simultaneously providing an estimate of model nonuniqueness. This inversion, previously used for reflection and refraction data, converts readily to spherical earth problems through simple adjustments in each of the two linear transformations: the slant stack and downward continuation. Because the...

In this paper, the largest and the smallest observations are considered, at the time when a new record of either kind (upper or lower) occurs based on a sequence of independent random variables with identical continuous distributions. We prove that sequences of the residual or past entropy of the current records characterizes F in the family of continuous distributions. The exponential and the ...

This paper presents several deterministic algorithms for selecting the kth largest record from a set of n records on any n-node hypercubic network. All of the algorithms are based on the selection algorithm of Cole and Yap, as well as on various sorting algorithms for hypercubic networks. Our fastest algorithm runs in O(lg n lg n) time, very nearly matching the trivial (lg n) lower bound. Previ...

The maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) quantifies the practical upper bound for useful circuit operation. We report here an fmax of 70 GHz in transistors using epitaxial graphene grown on the C-face of SiC. This is a significant improvement over Si-face epitaxial graphene used in the prior high-frequency transistor studies, exemplifying the superior electronics potential of C-face epitaxial g...
