The population genetic studies on a small sub-tribe of 50 strictly endogamous individuals, i.e., Setharani (tribe Noohani) settled in southern Sindh (Pakistan) suggest a typical allelic frequencies of Rh (D=1.0, d = 0.0) and ABO (A = 0.58, B = 0.05, O = 0.40). This frequency is different from main Noohani tribe, settled in the northern Sindh and other populations of Sindh. The blood groups appe...

Result: Of the 654 subjects tested, 368 (56.2%) were of blood group O, 139 (21.3%) were blood group B, while 116 (17.7%) and 31 (4.7%) were group A and AB respectively. 577 (88.32%) were Rhesus D positive while 77 (11.79%) were Rhesus D negative. When comparing ABO blood group distribution among tribes, O blood group was higher among the Kilba tribe (4.74%) at P<0.05 compare to other tribes. Bu...

As Sir Rupert Smith emphasizes we are facing a paradigm change. Most of current conflicts are fought “amongst population”, war as an armed struggle between Nation-States is fading. Thus the ability to understand the human terrain becomes a key factor towards stabilization of a given country. How to take into account this critical change in a defence transformation endeavour ? Our paper will str...

Three species of rove beetles (subfamily Aleocharinae) were collected from colonies of Aenictus hodgsoni Forel, 1901 in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. They are classified into three genera, including two new genera, and described herein as: Aenictobia siamensis Maruyama, sp. n. (tribe Aenictoteratini), Aenictosymbia cornuta Maruyama, gen. & sp. n. (tribe Lomechusini) and Aenictoxenides mirab...

This paper based on the metaphor of specialization and cooperation in steppe tribes of the human society, tribe glowworm swarm optimization (TGSO) algorithm was presented to solve the problem of low precision and easy to fall into local optimization of the glowworm swarm optimization (GSO) algorithm. In the proposed tribe glowworm swarm optimization approach, all glowworms are divided into a ce...

Let K be an effective field of characteristic zero. An effective tribe is a subset of K[[z1, z2, ...]] =K ∪K[[z1]] ∪K[[z1, z2]] ∪ ··· which is effectively stable under the Kalgebra operations, restricted division, composition, the implicit function theorem, as well as restricted monomial transformations with arbitrary rational exponents. Given an effective tribe with an effective zero test, we ...

In reviewing of Poaceae family specimens in "IRAN" Herbarium, Urochloa panicoides belonging to Paniceae tribe and Eragrostis cilianensis (All.) Vign.-Lut. ex Janchen subsp. starosselskyi (Grossh.) Tzvelev to Eragrostideae tribe are reported as new to Iran. The first taxon is a corn field weed in Fars province and the second is rare plant from W. Azerbaijan province.

A detailed description of the mature larva of Coomaniella (Coomaniella) purpurascens Baudon, 1966 and a discussion of the taxonomic position of the tribe Coomaniellini Bílý, 1974 are presented. Larva is fully illustrated including details of the mouth parts and inner structures of the proventriculus. The larval characters support the tribal status of Coomaniellini with close relations to the tr...

The tribe Planitorini van Achterberg (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Euphorinae) is revised. One new genus Paramannokeraiagen. n. (type species: P. gibsonisp. n.) and five new species from Australia are described and illustrated: Mannokeraia albipalpis van Achterberg, sp. n., M. nigrita van Achterberg, sp. n., M. punctata van Achterberg, sp. n., Paramannokeraia gibsoni van Achterberg & Quicke, sp. n....
