Published: July 2016

South-East Asian species of the genus Dromanthomorphus Pic, 1921 and several species provisionally attributed to Hadrocnemus Kraatz, 1895 are studied, and their taxonomic position is specified. Three new species are described from the Philippines: D. subflabellatus Tshernyshev, sp. n., D. restrictus Tshernyshev, sp. n. and D. subtilis Tshernyshev, sp. n. Seven species are transferred from Hadrocnemus to Dromanthomorphus, D. apoensis (Wittmer, 1999) comb. n., D. blaisei (Pic, 1926) comb. n., D. chiangensis (Wittmer, 1999) comb. n., D. depressicornis (Pic, 1919) comb. n., D. gravieri (Pic, 1923) comb. n., D. javanus (Wittmer, 1989) comb. n. and D. tonkineus (Pic, 1919) comb. n. Three species are transferred from Dromanthomorphus to Oculapalochrus Tshernyshev, 2015, O. ranuensis Wittmer 1990 comb. n., O. saigonensis (Pic, 1951) comb. n. and O. suttoni Wittmer, 1995 comb. n., and two species from Dromanthomorphus to Mimapalochrus Tshernyshev, 2015, M. cingalensis (Champion, 1921) comb. n. and M. dolokensis Wittmer, 1999 comb. n. Illustrations of male external appearance, metathoracic appendage, urites and genitalia, and distribution maps are provided. A determination key to all species of Dromanthomorphus from South-East Asia is also proposed.

Jamming and static stress transmission in granular materials.

Chaos

September 1999

Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh, JCMB King's Buildings, Mayfield Road, Edinburgh EH9 3JZ, Great Britain.

We have recently developed some simple continuum models of static granular media which display "fragile" behavior: They predict that the medium is unable to support certain types of infinitesimal load (which we call "incompatible" loads) without plastic rearrangement. We argue that a fragile description may be appropriate when the mechanical integrity of the medium arises adaptively, in response to a load, through an internal jamming process. We hypothesize that a network of force chains (or "granular skeleton") evolves until it can just support the applied load, at which point it comes to rest; it then remains intact so long as no incompatible load is applied.

Disseminated colon carcinoma metastases in the liver are associated with low cure rates and constitute a serious therapeutic problem. Appropriate experimental models which mimic metastases development and outgrowth can provide insight into the mechanism of this lethal process and facilitate the finding of new approaches for its control. We established an orthotopic liver metastases model based on CC531 rat colon adenocarcinoma cells which were transfected with a beta-galactosidase gene as marker to facilitate their detection.
