A new genus of the millipede family Pachybolidae from Southeast Asia is described: Macrurobolus gen.nov., with Spirobolus macrurus Pocock, 1893 as type species.This latter species is DNA barcoded (COI) and redescribed based on male morphological characters, which General Wound Care - Tapes and Fasteners hitherto were unknown.The new genus differs f
Integrated Management of Haricot Bean Foliage Beetle in Northeastern Ethiopia
A field experiment was conducted to determine the integrated effect of planting dates, insecticides, and their interaction on the reduction of yield and yield related components of haricot bean caused by haricot bean foliage beetle damage at Sirinka Agriculture Research Center, Ethiopia.Planting dates Ski de fond - Enfant - Vetements were normal pl
Perceptions as hypotheses: saccades as experiments
If perception corresponds to hypothesis testing (Gregory, 1980); then visual searches might be construed as experiments that generate sensory data.In this work, we explore the idea that saccadic eye movements are optimal experiments, in which data are gathered to test hypotheses or beliefs about how those General Wound Care - Tapes and Fasteners da
Predicting real-world navigation performance from a virtual navigation task in older adults.
Virtual reality environments presented on tablets and smartphones offer a novel way of measuring navigation skill and predicting real-world navigation problems.The extent to which such virtual Espresso Cups tests are effective at predicting navigation in older populations remains unclear.We compared the performance of 20 older participants (54-74 y
Improve Ship Propeller Efficiency via Optimum Design of Propeller Boss Cap Fins
This paper aims to cost-effectively improve the energy efficiency of large vessels in shipping by the optimum design of propeller boss cap fins (PBCFs).First, a model propeller of the modern four-blade propeller in a Ro-Ro ship, with no boss cap fin in its original design, is experimentally and numerically investigated.The computational fluid dynam
