Ultramorphological features of the egg of Telmatoscopus albipunctatus (Williston) (Diptera, Psychodidae)

Aspectos ultramorfológicos do ovo de Telmatoscopus albipunctatus (Williston) (Diptera, Psychodidae). As moscas da família Psychodidae, também conhecidas como moscas de banheiro, são de importância médica e veterinária. Informações gerais sobre ciclo de vida e hábitos do adulto são facilmente encontradas, mas pouco se sabe sobre a morfologia do ovo. Dessa forma, neste estudo, a ultramofologia do ovo de Telmatoscopus albipunctatus (Williston, 1893) foi analisada por microscopia eletrônica de varredura com o objetivo de descrever sua estrutura, provendo importantes dados para futuras comparações entre moscas de diferentes espécies e gêneros. O aspecto geral do ovo de T. albipunctatus é similar a outros Psychodidae, medindo aproximadamente 0.4 mm de comprimento e 0.1 mm de largura. Entretanto, baseado nas esculturas contínuas e descontínuas do exocórion, as quais podem ser espécie-específicas, podemos inferir que os ovos de T. albipunctatus podem sobreviver sob condições de muita umidade ou seca, dificultando o controle da espécie. Nossos resultados ressaltam a importância do uso da microscopia eletrônica como uma ferramenta no estudo dos padrões do exocórion. A morfologia externa do ovo de T. albipunctatus pode ser usada como base para futuros estudos e como ferramenta para comparação de diferentes espécies de moscas do gênero Psychodidae.

Layer-cake, anoxia, and other myths: A new look at the Devonian-Mississippian Bakken Formation Reservoir, Williston Basin, North Dakota

The Upper Devonian-Mississippian Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin is one of the most prolific onshore petroleum systems in the continental U.S., consisting of a middle carbonate-siliciclastic member sandwiched between two organic-rich units, the Lower and Upper Bakken shales. Dr. Egenhoff discusses the formation’s surprising departures from standard stratigraphy models and depositional models which contribute to its unique characteristics.

Water Quality Issues in the Williston Basin, Montana and North Dakota

The Williston basin has been producing oil and gas since the 1950s, but production has increased recently due to use of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling technologies to extract oil and gas from the Bakken and Three Forks Formations. As concern about effects of energy production on surface-water and groundwater quality increases, the characterization of current water-quality conditions is highly important to the scientific community, resource managers, industry, and general public.

Thromboembolism and bleeding in bladder cancer.

Bladder cancer is a unique disease process in that clinically significant hemorrhage can occur simultaneously with equally significant aberrant clotting. With hematuria the key presenting symptom of bladder cancer, hemorrhage is generally thought to be a component of the natural history of the disease, and to commonly occur during its treatment. However, as those who regularly treat bladder cancer know, the need to address a predisposition to clotting is also very much part of the treatment paradigm. Physicians must be cognizant of the biochemical changes that confer a propensity for both significant bleeding and clotting occurring simultaneously in their patients. Both of these entities remain important issues, and further study is needed to find ways to mitigate and balance the associated risks. Here, we performed a review of the literature, focusing on the concomitant issues of bleeding and venous thromboembolism in both the pre- and post-operative periods in patients with bladder cancer. We formulated a general management approach with respect to these two processes, and we provide direction for further investigation.

Revision of the genus Physoclypeus Hendel, 1907 (Diptera, Lauxaniidae), with description of seven new species

The genus Physoclypeus Hendel, 1907 has its distribution restricted to the Neotropical region. In this study, its species have been redescribed, three new combinations have been proposed, three lectotypes have been designated, seven new species have been described, and an identification key to the species is presented. An updated list of species of Physoclypeus is presented as: P. annulatus Hendel, 1925; P. coquilletti (Hendel, 1908); P. farinosus (Hendel, 1925); P. flavus (Wiedemann, 1830); P. hendeli sp. nov. (Type locality, Jamaica, N. Irish Town); P. lineatus (Williston, 1896) new comb.; P. montanus (Becker, 1919) new comb.; P. plaumanni sp. nov. (Type locality, Brazil, Santa Catarina); P. risaraldensis sp. nov. (Type locality, Colombia, Risaralda); P. saltensis sp. nov. (Type locality, Argentina, Salta); P. scutellatus (Curran, 1926) new comb.; P. unimaculatus sp. nov. (Type locality, Mexico, Vera Cruz); P. vitattus sp. nov. (Type locality, Brazil, Santa Catarina) and P. zebrinus sp. nov. (Type locality, Costa Rica, Limón).

Os mosquitos (Diptera : Culicidae) da Estação Científica Ferreira Penna - ECFPn, Caxiuanã, Melgaço Pará, Brasil: ataque, sazonalidade e estratificação arbórea

Este trabalho foi realizado de fevereiro a dezembro de 1995, na Estação Científica Ferreira Penna, localizada no interior da Floresta Nacional de Caxiuanã, município de Melgaço, estado do Pará, com o objetivo de estudar as atividades sazonal e diária na floresta e no ambiente humano, e a estratificação arbórea das várias espécies de culicídeos. As coletas foram realizadas com a utilização de isca humana e armadilha luminosa do tipo CDC - isca ave, na floresta, no solo e copa das árvores e isca humana no peridomicílio. Um total de 1919 mosquitos foram coletados, distribuídos nos gêneros Aedes Meigen, 1818, Anopholes Meigen, 1818, Haemagogus Williston, 1896, Psorophora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1827, Culex Linnaeus, 1758, Coquillettidia Dyar, 1905, Mansonia Blanchard, 1904, uranotaenia Lynch-Arribalzaga, 1891, Limatus Theobald, 1901, Phoniomya Theobald, 1903, Ruchomya Theobald, 1903, Sabethes Robineau-Desvoidy, 1827, Trichoprosopon Theobald, 1901 e Wyeomyia Theobald, 1901. As espécies predominantes foram Culex (Melanoconion) portesi Senevet & Abonnec, 1941 (50,65%), Coquillettidia (Rhynchotaenia) venezuelensis (Theobald, 1912) (9,17%) e Haemagogus (Haemagogus) janthinomys dyar, 1921 (6,51%). As atividades horária e sazonal foram relacionadas com a temperatura, umidade e precipitação pluviométrica, e através do teste de correlação de Spearman, comprovou-se a interferência desses fatores sobre a atividade de algumas espécies. A hipótese de haver diferença significativa entre o número de espécies e exemplares, no solo e copa, foi verificada com utilização do teste do X² (qui-quadrado), que comprovou a diferença significativa somente entre o número de exemplares coletados no solo e copa, em isca humana na floresta.

Isopach Maps and Discussion of the Ordovician and Devonian of Montana and Adjacent Areas

The intensive postwar search for new petroleum horizons has resulted in widespread prospecting in the northern Great Plains. No commercial production has as yet been derived from Ordovician or Devonian rocks in Montana, but the relat­ively few tests that have penetrated to critical depths have disclosed encouraging conditions which merit further consider­ation, especially in Devonian strata.

Kibbey Sandstone in Montana

Much attention has recently been given, by geolog­ists, to prolific water bearing horizon and a potent­ial oil horizon, known as the Kibbey sandstone, which lies deeply buried under much of central Montana. In some local­ities the sandstone is dry, and its identification in cut­tings from deep wells has in many cases proved difficult.

This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the United States Geological Survey 7.5 minute topographic sheet map entitled: New York and vicinity : Oyster Bay, N.Y.-Conn., 1955. It is part of an 8 sheet map set covering the metropolitan New York City area. It was published in 1961. Scale 1:24,000. The source map was prepared by the Geological Survey from 1:24,000-scale maps of Bayville 1954, Mamaroneck 1955, Sea Cliff 1954, and Hicksville 1954 7.5 minute quadrangles compiled by the Army Map Service. The Mamaroneck quadrangle was previously compiled by the Geological Survey in 1933 and 1934. Culture revised by the Geological Survey. Hydrography compiled from USC&GS charts 222 (1955), 223 (1954, 1955), and 224 (1954). The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 18N NAD27 projection. All map collar and inset information is also available as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, index maps, legends, or other information associated with the principal map. USGS maps are typical topographic maps portraying both natural and manmade features. They show and name works of nature, such as mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers, vegetation, etc. They also identify the principal works of humans, such as roads, railroads, boundaries, transmission lines, major buildings, etc. Relief is shown with standard contour intervals of 10 and 20 feet; depths are shown with contours and soundings. Please pay close attention to map collar information on projections, spheroid, sources, dates, and keys to grid numbering and other numbers which appear inside the neatline. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps from The Harvard Map Collection as part of the Imaging the Urban Environment project. Maps selected for this project represent major urban areas and cities of the world, at various time periods. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features at a large scale. The selection represents a range of regions, originators, ground condition dates, scales, and purposes.
