Oxytelus species are widespread over all continents except Antarctica. Southeast Asia is one of the biodiversity hotspots in the world. In this paper, we review the Oxytelus species currently known from Southeast Asia. Seven species are described as new to science: O. castaneus sp. nov. (Vietnam), O. finitimus sp. nov. (Laos), O. grandiculus sp. nov. (Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand), O. insu...

A new genus is split off the genus Craspedolcus Enderlein, 1920 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Braconinae): Maculibracongen. n. with type species Maculibracon abruptussp. n.

Craspedolcus obscuriventris Enderlein, 1920, (syn. n.) is a new synonym of Craspe...

Information is the value that is now of critical importance in building competitive advantage. However, the amount and variety of data becomes a challenge for business and IT. Both possess a large amount of information, its accelerating growth and expectations of more effective management of these data still give birth to new technical problems and system. When BI proved to be insufficient to p...

Cameron-Liebler line classes are sets of lines in PG(3, q) that contain a fixed number x of lines of every spread. Cameron and Liebler classified Cameron-Liebler line classes for x ∈ {0, 1, 2, q2 − 1, q2, q2 + 1} and conjectured that no others exist. This conjecture was disproven by Drudge for q = 3 [8] and his counterexample was generalised to a counterexample for any odd q by Bruen and Drudge...
