The East Mediterranean species of Orthomus Chaudoir, 1838 are revised. The type series of Feronia longula Reiche & Saulcy, 1855, F. berytensis Reiche & Saulcy, 1855, F. proelonga Reiche & Saulcy, 1855, Orthomus longior Chaudoir, 1873, O. sidonicus Chaudoir, 1873, and O. berytensis akbensis Mateu, 1955 were studied and lectotypes for the first four are designated. Also, the following nomenclatural acts are proposed: Feronia proelonga Reiche & Saulcy, 1855, syn. n. of Orthomus berytensis (Reiche & Saulcy, 1855); Feronia elongata Chaudoir, 1859, syn. n. of Orthomus berytensis (Reiche & Saulcy, 1855); Orthomus sidonicus Chaudoir, 1873, syn. n. of Orthomus longior Chaudoir, 1873; Orthomus velocissimus andalusiacus Mateu, 1957, syn. n. of Orthomus velocissimus akbensis Mateu, 1955, new assignment for Orthomus berytensis akbensis Mateu, 1955. As a result, three species of the genus inhabit the East Mediterranean biogeographical region: O. berytensis, O. longior, and O. longulus. A key to t...

Four new species of Tanycarpa (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae), T. gymnonotum Yao sp. n., T. similis Yao sp. n., T. areolata Yao sp. n., and T. lineata Yao sp. n., are described from the Palaearctic Region of China, and T. chors Belokobylskij is newly recorded from China. Significant range extensions are given for T. bicolor (Nees von Esenbeck), T. gracilicornis (Nees von Esenbeck), and T. mitis Stelfox. A key to the Palaearctic species of Tanycarpa is provided.

A new species of the genus Amplimerlinius  is described and illustrated from the rhizosphere of Vitis sp. from Kurdistan province in western Iran. A. uramanatiensis sp. n. is characterized by having seven to eight head annuli up to the end of the outer extension of the cephalic framework, 29-31 µm long stylet and cylindrical-clavate tail with a thin hyaline region (9-11 µm) and smooth terminus. Furthermore, A. paraglobigerus and A. macrurus were identified and intra-specific variability of A. globigerus was studied in detail, based on 21 populations collected from different regions of Iran. A key and diagnostic compendium to the species of the genus is provided.

While interdisciplinarity may be an admirable goal many still doubt its benefits. The paper seeks to articulate the methods used to work across disciplines and considers the obstacles that stand in the way of inter-rather than Aww/ft'-disciplinarity. Sauer's volume is used as a starting ...

This study compares and contrasts the findings of recent information systems (IS) management studies in ten nations or regions as well as one US multinational study. It examines the key concerns of IS executives in these areas, focusing on identifying and explaining regional similarities and differences. Internationally, there are substantial differences in key issues. Possible reasons for these differences—cultural, economic development, political/legal environment, and technological status—are discussed. The ...

Within the Socotran chafer genus Canuschiza Lacroix, 1999 (Coleo ptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Schizonychini) two species groups are recognized, Canuschiza insularis Lacroix, 1999 species group and C. minuta Lacroix, 1999 species group. A revision of C. insularis species group is provided. Canuschiza insularis is redescribed and the following seven new species are described within this group: Canuschiza adah sp. nov., C. croton sp. nov., C. dracaena sp. nov., C. firmihin sp. nov., C. hagher sp. nov., C. jatropha sp. nov., and C. skand sp. nov. An identifi cation key to males and females of the species group is provided, and photographs illustrate external morphology and male genitalia.

This work recognises five species of Paradiopatra from southwestern Europe, represented in the Bay of Biscay, the Atlantic coasts of Iberia and the western Mediterranean Sea. One species, Paradiopatra florencioi sp. nov., is newly described from the Cantabrian slope, northern Spain. We are presenting detailed diagnoses of all species and report ontogenetic changes of P. bihanica and P. hispanica. Scanning electron microscopy elucidated previously known Meth-ylene Blue or Green staining patterns of the ventral glandular pads as cuticular pores. A dichotomous key to all species is included.

Selective video encryption has advanced in recent years on the grounds that they require less time and guarantees security of video substance as well. There has been numerous selective Video Encryption Techniques, which are mind boggling and reliant on different elements like key sharing and bury and intra frame contrast and so on. In this paper we propose a selective video encryption calculation, which is quick, more minimal and free of key sharing component. Here we propose another plan for computerized video encryption. In this strategy we produce an encoded video by scrambled Video-frame. In light of a safe video conspire, a successful and summed up plan of video encryption. We have proposed another plan for video encryption which taking into account encryption of I-frame (video frame).Here we have taken a thought from grid estimation for creating the encoded I-frame. In this strategy, we gather the all video frame then take frame one by one structure it and select a key Image as key frame for encryption and unscrambling procedure, so this key picture is send through secure channel.

The Chrysididae of the Balearic Archipelago were studied by operating four Malaise traps in the Mallorca and Menorca Islands. Traps captured 98 individuals belonging to 19 species. Including all available data from literature, the number of species in this archipelago rise to 34. Hedychridium balearicum Strumia, sp. nov (Mallorca) is described and key to the Hedychridium monochroum species-group is given. Extrapolation from available data suggests the presence of about 58 to 107 Chrysididae species in the Balearic Archipelago.

The genus Antodynerus de Saussure, 1855 is reviewed from the Indian subcontinent. Three species with one additional subspecies are present, namely Antodynerus flavescens flavescens (Fabricius, 1775), A. f. karachiensis Giordani Soika, 1970, A. limbatus (de Saussure, 1852), and A. punctatipennis (de Saussure, 1853). The parasitic association of strepsipter-an insects and the symbiotic association of mites are reported for the first time in the genus Antodynerus. The distribution of A. f. flavescens (Fabricius) and A. limbatus (de Saussure) in the Indian states is augmented. The latter species is newly recorded from China (Tibet). A key to species of the Indian subcontinent is provided.
