Two new species of Stenochironomus Kieffer, 1919 are described in Brazil. New records of Stenochironomus nudipupa Borkent, 1984 and S. gladius Borkent, 1984 from Brazil, new data on geographical distribution of S. jubatus Borkent, 1984 and S. triannulatus Borkent, 1984 from the State of Roraima, and S. bacrionis Borkent, 1984 recorded from the State of Amazonas, as well as emended descriptions ...

This paper offers a solution to overcome the complexities of production system I/O performance monitoring. We present Beacon, an end-to-end resource monitoring and diagnosis for 40960-node Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer, currently fourth-ranked supercomputer in world. Beacon simultaneously collects correlates tracing/profiling data from all compute nodes, forwarding storage metadata servers. W...

The present study is an attempt to compare the use of different forms of greeting speech acts presented in Iranian junior high school textbooks, i.e. Prospect series (I, II, III) and Four Corners series (1, 2, 3 and 4) which are quite popular in Iranian high schools and institutions. To this end, greeting forms in the language function and conversation sections of these two series were analyzed...

Analyzing determinants that influence polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDD/F) emissions is helpful for decision-makers to find effective and efficient ways to mitigate PCDD/F emissions. The PCDD/F emissions and the contributions of the scale effect, structure effect and technology effect to emissions from eight main industrial sectors in 2006, 2008 and 2010 in...

Chalmers (2004), Wu (2010), and Block (2010) have independently argued that the effect of attention on the content of perception raises a challenge for representationalism. Covert shifts of attention seem to involve a change in the phenomenal character of perception, without a corresponding change in representational content. In this paper, I show that the challenge fails because the arguments ...

Using the fixed point method, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of the following functional equation in multi-Banach spaces:begin{equation} sum_{ j = 1}^{n}fBig(-2 x_{j} + sum_{ i = 1, ineq j}^{n} x_{i}Big) =(n-6) fBig(sum_{ i = 1}^{n} x_{i}Big) + 9 sum_{ i = 1}^{n}f(x_{i}).end{equation}
