The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder. All rights reserved. No reuse allowed without permission. Abstract.—Myriapods are one of the dominant terrestrial arthropod groups including the diverse and familiar centipedes and millipedes. Although molecular evidence has shown that Myriapoda is monophyletic, its internal phylogeny remains contentious and understudied, especially when compared to those of Chelicerata and Hexapoda. Until now, efforts have focused on taxon sampling (e.g., by including a handful of genes in many species) or on maximizing matrix occupancy (e.g., by including hundreds or thousands of genes in just a few species), but a phylogeny maximizing sampling at both levels remains elusive. In this study, we analyzed forty Illumina transcriptomes representing three myriapod classes (Diplopoda, Chilopoda and Symphyla); twenty-five transcriptomes were newly sequenced to maximize representation at the ordinal level in Diplopoda and at the family level in Chilopoda.

OXMXO- " FLUOR SPAR." Mined and Especially Manufactured by -^THE PEIUL MINING GOMPANY,^- ROSE CLARE, HARDIN COUNTY, ILLINOIS, For the immediate use of all Metal Workers , comprising Smelting and Refining Works, Brass and Copper Works, Car Wheel Works, Sewing Machine Works, Stove Works, Glass and Chemical Works, Agricultural Works, OR WHEREVER METAL OF ANY KIND IS SMELTED OR CASTINGS MADE. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Gentlemen : —Your close attention is earnestly invited to this new and powerful flux, endorsed by all chemists as the most searching and most favorable mineral ever discovered for the reduction and purification of metals. Our mines produce it in its purest state and without adulteration, and as it is only manufactured so as to be in the best condition for your use, we respectfully ask you to give it a trial. Kluor Spar, when exposed to heat, sends forth fumes of the most powerful fluxing, searching, purifying kind known to science, and these fumes, coming into contact with the silicates and impurities in metals, drives them out. Phosphorus and sulphur, that bllfjbear to all metals, is volatilized at once and passes off, leaving a clean, clear residue which flows without hindrance or obstruction until the last ounce of metal contained in the charge is withdrawn.

  • Development of Drinking Water and Ecological Unusually Sensitive Areas (Usas): Examples Using the Water and Biological Resources of Ohio
    Development of Drinking Water and Ecological Unusually Sensitive Areas (USAs): Examples Using the Water and Biological Resources of Ohio Colin Plank, Scott Zengel, Heidi Hinkeldey, Elaine Inouye, William Holton, Jeffery Dahlin, and Jacqueline Michel Research Planning, Inc., 1121 Park Street, Columbia, SC 29201, [email protected], 803-256-7322 (voice); 803-254-6445 (fax); and Christina Sames and Samuel Hall, Office of Pipeline Safety, Research and Special Programs Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 1.0 INTRODUCTION The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) is required to identify areas unusually sensitive to environmental damage in the event of a hazardous liquid pipeline accident. Pipeline operators that can affect "unusually sensitive areas" (USAs) must develop and follow an integrity management program to assess and evaluate the integrity of their pipelines. After extensive consultation with experts, government agencies, and other stakeholders, a process was developed to identify USAs for drinking water and ecological resources. In general the USA identification process involves selecting a subset of USA candidates from the larger group of Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs), and then applying various filter criteria to the candidates to determine final USAs. For drinking water USAs this means identifying potentially sensitive public water systems (PWS), specifically surface water intakes and ground water wells, and subjecting them to filter
