New records of genera and species of spider wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) from Colombia are provided. Agenioideus, Cryptocheilus, Evagetes, Mystacagenia, and Xerochares are newly recorded genera from Colombia. Nineteen species are first recorded from Colombia: Aimatocarevitrea (Fox); Ageniellaazteca (Cameron); Ageniellacurtipinus (Cameron); Ageniellafallax (Arlé); Ageniellahirsuta Banks; Agen...

In recent years methods in lung diagnostics have been developed using the aerosol bolus inhalation technique (Heyder et al., 1988; Anderson et al., 1989; Schulz et al., 1995; Blanchard 1996). A bolus is a small volume of aerosol sandwiched in particle-free air and inhaled into different volumetric regions of the lung. During inhalation and exhalation the original small bolus is dispersed over a...

We study the swelling of a flexible linear chain composed of active particles by analytical theory and computer simulation. Three different situations are considered: a free chain, a chain confined to an external harmonic trap, and a chain dragged at one end. First, we consider an ideal chain with harmonic springs and no excluded volume between the monomers. The Rouse model of polymers is gener...
