Two new species of the genus Anoplocheylus Berlese, 1910 (Acari: Trombidiformes: Pseudocheylidae), A. sinai Bagheri sp. nov. and A. kazemii Bagheri sp. nov., are described and figured. An updated key to all known species of Anoplocheylus is also provided.

The aim of this note is, firstly, to give an overview the Constitutional Court (CC) judgment in Fourie v Minister Home Affairs; secondly, discuss consequences same-sex marriages; thirdly, highlight certain areas law that require legislative intervention clarify application common rules spouses; and, lastly, examine discrepancy will exist after December 2006 between and heterosexual cohabitees.

Two new species of Xestoblatta from northern Brazil are described, Xestoblatta buhrnheimi sp. n. and Xestoblatta rondonensis sp. n., included in the buscki group Gurney (1939), and new characters are added to the description of Xestoblatta mamorensis Lopes & Oliveira, 2006. Xestoblatta roppai Rocha e Albuquerque-Silva & Fraga, 1975, from midwestern Brazil is redescribed, including its genital c...

This abstract describes a submission of the ThinkIT Speech Lab at Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy of Sciences to the onset detection contest of the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX) 2006. This submission presents an algorithm using spectral flux to detect musical onsets. Firstly, a detection function is generated via spectral flux. Then, a peak picking procedure is...

This paper investigates the issue of intermediation and the role of intermediaries in the innovation process. The aim of this paper is three-fold. Firstly, to review and synthesis the literature in this field; from this to develop a typology and framework of the different roles and functions of the intermediation process within innovation; lastly to try and operationalise the typology within th...

We compare different procedures for combining fixed-order tree-level matrixelement generators with parton showers. We use the case of W-production at the Tevatron and the LHC to compare different implementations of the so-called CKKW and MLM schemes using different matrix-element generators and different parton cascades. We find that although similar results are obtained in all cases, there are...

We present here a study of event generators for the hadronic production of Wγ . We compare a NLO Wγ matrix element generator with the leading order calculation in Pythia . A matching scheme between a next-to-leading order Wγ matrix element generator by Baur et. al. and the Pythia parton shower is presented. The NLO package produces Wγ +0 jet and Wγ +1jet final states in the hard scattering and ...
