Deficits in inhibitory function are assumed to underlie psychopathology in bipolar disorder (BD), especially in states of mania. A subdomain of inhibition, semantic inhibition (SI), referring to the suppression of irrelevant word meanings, may underlie formal thought disorder, such as flights of ideas. In the present study, we investigated SI in patients with BD during semantic ambiguity resolu...

The recent transfer of Elthusa parva (Richardson, 1910) from Ceratothoa created a homonymy with Elthusa parva (Nierstrasz, 1915). Elthusa parva (Richardson, 1910) has priority and Elthusa nierstraszinom. n. is proposed as the new replacement name for the junior secondary homonym Elthusa parva (Nierstrasz, 1915).

Bostra Stål (Phasmida, Diapheromeridae) is a junior homonym of Walker (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae). The replacement name Bostranova Villet nomen nov. proposed for Stål, and new combinations are the species-group names currently included in that phasmid genus.

The types of thirty-two nominal weevil species described by Johann Christian Fabricius are reviewed and lecto- and paralectotypes are designated for twenty-two of them. A neotype is designated for Curculiosticticus Fabricius, 1777. Protapionvaripes (Germar, 1817) is declared a nomen protectum over Curculioflavipes Fabricius, 1775. Based on a study of syntypes, Rhinomacercurculioides Fabricius, ...

The genus Granulina (type species Plasmoporella granulosa Bondarenko, 1958, by original designation) was established by Leleshus (1975: 7) for a distinctive heliolitoid genus from the Upper Ordovician of Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. However, the name Granulina Jousseaume, 1888 (p. 191), which designates a genus of a living molluscs (Gastropoda: Neogastropoda: Marginellidae: Granulininae), has pri...

Cochabambia Marcuzzi (1985) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is a junior homonym of Cochabambia Pirán, 1959 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Acanthosomatidae). Allotriocochabambia is proposed as a new name for the tenebrionid genus, and as result Allotriocochabambia kulzeri (1985) is proposed as new combination. The placement of Cochabambia Pirán within the Acanthosomatidae is discussed. 

In this paper, we analyze existing text-based steganography techniques, and propose an efficient information hiding algorithm for text based on substituted conception. In this algorithm, candidate units are replaced by similar conception, including synonym, homonym or special character. An improved encoding algorithm is also proposed which is not only enhances the robustness, but also enlarges ...

The family Pachylaelapidae Berlese, 1913 (Acari: Mesostigmata) includes a total of 16 valid and adequately described genera, namely Chaetodellus Mašán & Halliday, 2013, Elaphrolaelaps Berlese, 1910, Mirabulbus Liu & Ma, 2001, Neopachylaelaps Mašán, 2007, Olopachys Berlese, 1910, Onchodellus Berlese, 1904, Pachydellus Mašán, 2007, Pachyglobolaelaps Mašán, new genus, Pachylaelaps Berlese, 1888, P...

the purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to assess the retention of two word types (synonyms and homonyms) in the short term memory, and (b) to investigate the effect of these word types on word learning by asking learners to learn their persian meanings. a total of 73 iranian language learners studying english translation participated in the study. for the first purpose, 36 freshmen from an ...
