Japanese species of the genus Eobrachycentrus are revised, and only 2 species are recognized: E. vernalis (Banks 1906) and E. niigatai (Kobayashi 1968). Eobrachycentrus oharensis (Iwata 1927) and E. propinquus Wiggins et al. 1985 are synonymized with E. vernalis and E. niigatai, respectively. Adults and immature stages of these 2 species are described or redescribed. Information on the larval h...

ADONIS is a complex but user-friendly adaptive optics (AO) instrument for the European Southern Observatory 3.6-m telescope. ADONIS is composed of several interacting parts, including the astronomer. Multiple parameters innuence the system performance and they are diicult to handle by the astronomer. A multi-agent, distributed, and message oriented control system is designed. The communication ...

We examined the effects of supplemental food sources on parasitism of turf-infesting white grubs (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) by tiphiid wasps (Hymenoptera: Tiphiidae). Survival of spring active Tiphia vernalis Rohwer and late summer active Tiphia pygidialis Allen, parasitoids of Japanese beetle, Popillia japonicaNewman, andmasked chafer,Cyclocephala spp., grubs, respectively, was signiÞcantly in...

In this paper we summarize the best practices in design, implementation and deployment of the efficient on-the-job training system in the modern organization. Later the ADONIS on-the-job training system developed in our organization is presented. Although it was initially targeted at the simultaneous use by many small and medium size enterprises the ADONIS system with its distributed and scalab...

OBJECTIVE Evaluating the larvicidal activity of two ether factions from Asteraceae (the aster, daisy or sunflower family, i.e. Heli opsisoppositifolia (L.) Druce (oxeye, sunflower-like) and Jaegeria hirta (Lag.) Less (weed-like)) on Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L.) final third instar or initial fourth instar larvae near the town of Armenia in the Quindío Department in Colombia. METHODS H. oppos...

ADONIS is an adaptive optics user friendly instrument for the ESO 3.6-m telescope. The modal control technique is presented as a tool for optimizing the control of ADONIS. The perturbed wavefront is spread over a base of modes treated by the system in terms of their behavior with respect to the observing conditions (turbulence characteristics, anisoplanatic angle and star magnitude). This optim...
