Unloved, paraphyletic or misplaced: new genera and species of small to minute lucinid bivalves and their relationships (Bivalvia, Lucinidae)

Species identified as Pillucina are paraphyletic in molecular analyses Peels and a new generic name, Rugalucina, is introduced for a complex of three similar species Rugalucina angela from the northern Indian Ocean and Red Sea, R.vietnamica from South East Asia, and R.munda from northern and north eastern Australia.Lucina concinna from the Red Sea,

A second orthorhombic polymorph of (Z)-3-(9-anthryl)-1-(2-thienyl)prop-2-en-1-oneThis paper is dedicated to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand (King Rama IX) for his sustainable development of the country.

The title heteroaryl chalcone, C21H14OS, is a second orthorhombic polymorph which crystallizes in the space group P212121.The structure was previously reported [Fun et al.(2009).Acta Cryst.E65, o2168-o2169] in the space group Pna21.The bond distances and angles are similar in both structures.In contrast, Modular Work Desk the overall crystal packin

The role of post-sunset vertical drifts at the equator in predicting the onset of VHF scintillations during high and low sunspot activity years

The day-to-day variability in the occurrence of ionospheric scintillations, which are of serious concern in the trans-ionospheric communications, makes their prediction still a challenging problem.This paper reports on a systematic study in quantitatively identifying the precursors responsible, such as pre-reversal E×B drift velocity, geo-mag
