PARAMPELOMYIA, ANOTHER NEW GALL MIDGE GENUS (DIPTERA: CECIDOMYIIDAE) ASSOCIATED WITH VITACEAE, WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES DEVELOPING IN FLOWER BUDS OF THE PORCELAIN BERRY IN JAPAN

We describe a gall midge Parampelomyia yukawai Elsayed and Tokuda gen.nov.sp.nov.belonging to the subtribe Schizomyiina (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae: Asphondyliini) here based on an integrative taxonomic study.This species forms barely-swollen flower bud galls on the porcelain berry Ampelopsis brevipedunculata var.heterophylla (Vitaceae) in Japan.The ne

Introduction Physicians can be unaware that many US adults have intermediate or lower health literacy.Avoiding medical jargon in patient communication can improve poor outcomes associated with lower health literacy, but physicians may struggle to do so as health literacy education is neither standardized nor universal at US allopathic medical schoo

The effect of the width of the vaneless diffuser on the stage performance and flow fields of a centrifugal compressor is studied numerically and experimentally.The diffuser width is varied by reducing the diffuser flow area from the shroud side (i.e., pinching the diffuser).Seven different diffuser widths are studied with numerical simulation.In th

This study proposes a supervised feature selection technique for classification in high dimensional binary class problems by adding robustness in the conventional Fisher Score.The proposed method utilizes the more robust measure of location i.e.the Median and measure of dispersion known as Rousseeuw and Croux statistic ( $Q_{n}$ ).Initially minimum

Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and inositol triphosphate receptors (InsP3Rs) are structurally related intracellular calcium release channels that participate in multiple primary or secondary amplified Ca2+ signals, triggering muscle contraction and oscillatory Ca2+ waves, or activating transcription factors.In the heart, RyRs play an indisputable role
