The genus Prosciara Frey (Diptera, Sciaridae) [PDF]
The concept of Phytosciara Frey with the subgenera P. (Phytosciara), P. (Dolichosciara) and P. (Prosciara) is polyphyletic and the subgenera are treated as genera. Prosciara includes 1 Holarctic, 8 Palearctic and 28 Oriental species.

Magnus force and acoustic Stewart-Tolman effect in type II superconductors [PDF]
At zero magnetic field we have observed an electromagnetic radiation from superconductors subjected by a transverse elastic wave. This radiation has an inertial origin, and is a manifestation of the acoustic Stewart-Tolman effect. The effect is used for implementing a method of measurement of an effective Magnus force in type II superconductors.

Active Convergence of the India‐Burma‐Sunda Plates Revealed by a New Continuous GPS Network
The Rakhine (Arakan)‐Bangladesh megathrust, along which the Indian and Burma plates collide, is assumed by some to be inactive/aseismic due to the lack of notable interplate earthquakes in the modern instrumental catalog.

Electron sound in metals [PDF]
This paper is devoted to the investigation of electron sound -- oscillations of the electron distribution function coupled with elastic deformation and propagating with the Fermi velocity. The amplitude-phase relations characterizing the behavior of the electron sound in Ga single crystals are determined experimentally. A model problem of excitation of

Characteristics of the electric field accompanying a longitudinal acoustic wave in a metal. Anomaly in the superconducting phase [PDF]
The temperature dependence of the amplitude and phase of the electric potential arising at a plane boundary of a conductor when a longitudinal acoustic wave is incident normally on it is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The surface potential is formed by two contributions, one of which is spatially periodic inside the sample, with the ...

Electric potential of the electron sound wave: Sharp disappearance in the superconducting state [PDF]
We study the ac electric potential induced by the electron sound wave (a perturbation of the electron distribution function propagating with the Fermi velocity) in single crystals of high purity gallium. The potential and the elastic components of the electron sound demonstrate qualitatively different dependencies on the electron relaxation rate: while

Breeding and selection of taro (Colocasia esculenta) for improved disease‐resistance in Hawaiʻi
Taro is a root crop with wide geographic range and high cultural significance to Indigenous peoples of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific. Taro Leaf Blight (TLB) is a worldwide disease of taro, and Hawaiian taro varieties exhibited little resistance to it. To improve TLB‐resistance, conventional breeding was conducted by hand‐pollination.
