parts of salt solution. But when faeces from the monkey Silenus (Macacus) rhesus, which are invariably crammed with blastocystis, are inoculated into the above medium and incubated at 37?C.?the optimum temperature for growth of most of the intestinal protozoa of warm-blooded hosts?the fungus develops with very great rapidity, with consequent destruction of any Balantidium coli which may be pres...

1.1 Silenus Silenus (Mi et al., 2008; Mi and Huang, 2008) is a forest-based tree-to-string SMT system. A packed parse forest is a compact representation of all derivations (i.e., parse trees) for a given sentence under a context-free grammar. A tree-to-string rule describes the correspondence between a source parse tree and a target string. Unlike previous tree-to-string (Liu et al., 2006; Huan...

The 12 presently recognized taxa forming the Macaca silenus group represent the most diverse lineage within the genus Macaca. The present study was set up to clarify the phylogenetic relationships of the extant members of the M. silenus group and to explain their geographical distribution patterns seen today. A combined approach involving the analysis of one paternal (TSPY) and two maternal (cy...

The widespread and complex ecogeographical diversity of macaques may have caused adaptive morphological convergence among four phylogenetic subgroups, making their phylogenetic relationships unclear. We used geometric morphometrics and multivariate analyses to test the null hypothesis that craniofacial morphology does not vary with ecogeographical and phylogenetic factors. As predicted by Bergm...

The satisfactory results obtained in the treatment of bird malaria (P. relictum) with mepacrine hydrochloride (Das Gupta and Siddons, 1943) encouraged us to try it in P. knowlesi infection in the monkey, Silenus rhesus. It is well known that, in this monkey^ this parasite produces the most intense infection which, if unchecked, usually terminates fatally. Therefore, infected monkeys are very su...

Art historical debate has percolated for more than half a century over the identity of the three Bacchanals (-) commissioned from Nicolas Poussin by Cardinal Richelieu for his chateau in Poitou, France. The subjects have been identified as the Triumphs of Pan, Bacchus, and Silenus, respectively. The success of this commission led to demand for the production of copies close in date to the ...
