  • A Revision of Palaearctic Sunius. XII. New Species, New Synonymies, and Additional Records (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae)
    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Linzer biol. Beitr. 42/2 1045-1061 19.12.2010 A revision of Palaearctic Sunius. XII. New species, new synonymies, and additional records (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) V. ASSING A b s t r a c t : Three species of Sunius STEPHENS from the Eastern Palaearctic region are described and illustrated: S. manasluensis nov.sp. (central Nepal), S. macrops nov.sp. (China: Yunnan), and S. turgescens nov.sp. (China: Yunnan). Two synonymies are proposed: Sunius STEPHENS 1829 = Tetracanthognathus SCHEERPELTZ 1963, nov.syn.; Sunius nidicola (KASTCHEEV 1982) = S. splendidulus (BOHÁý 1988), nov.syn. The binomen Sunius kuehnelti (SCHEERPELTZ 1963), nov.comb. (previously Tetracanthognathus kuehnelti) is established; the previously unknown male sexual characters of S. kuehnelti are illustrated. Sunius galiberti COIFFAIT 1987 from central Nepal is redescribed and illustrated. Additional records of 22 species are reported from the Palaearctic region. Sunius now comprises 111 species and two subspecies in the whole of the Palaearctic region. K e y w o r d s : Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Sunius, Palaearctic region, taxonomy, new species, new synonymies, new combination, additional records 1. Introduction According to recent contributions to a revision of Sunius STEPHENS 1829, the paederine genus is represented in the Western Palaearctic region and Middle Asia by as many as 97 species and 2 subspecies (ASSING 2008a, 2008b). The Sunius fauna of the Eastern Palaearctic region, in contrast, is much less diverse and previously included merely eleven species (ASSING 2002, 2004, in press; SMETANA 2004), two from China, eight from the Himalaya and adjacent regions, and one species distributed in the Oriental regions northwards to Uttarranchal Pradesh.

  • Afalleh: a Parthian Iron Foundry Site on Northern Slopes of Central Alborz
    Intl. J. Humanities (2015) Vol. 22 (2): (127-141) Afalleh: A Parthian Iron Foundry Site on Northern Slopes of Central Alborz Mohammad Ghamari Fatideh,1* Seyed Mehdi Mousavi Kouhpar 2 Received:2013/11/25 Accepted: 2015/3/16 Abstract The archaeological site of Afalleh is located in the north of Khachak village, in the intermountain plain of Kojour, in southern end of Nowshahr District, Mazandaran Province. Drawing on the available evidence, the site is dated to the Parthian period. Afalleh is clearly an archaeo- metallurgical center in the area, and by virtue of its relatively large size (more than 5 ha) might be one of the most significant and/or important archaeo- metallurgical sites of the Parthian period in the entire region. Large and dense scatters of slag and kiln wasters, especially in southern and western quadrants, hint at extensive and/or long-termed archaeo- metallurgical activities at the site. The surface slag could be divided into two groups of sponge and dense with a dark color near to black. Most slags are seen on southern part of the site. A stone building is partially exposed in western side of the site, where a dirt road has cut a part of the archaeological deposits. Macroscopic and microscopic analyses indicate that the slags are rich of fayalite and wustite, ferrous silicate and iron oxide minerals, respectively. Inside one of these slags a thick prill of iron is observed that has been largely replaced with secondary iron oxides. This observation indicates an indirect reduction of iron from its ore- producing carbonized iron (steel and cast iron)-and refers to its separation from silicate melt more probably outside of furnace.

  • CHAPTER 3 HYDROLOGICAL MODELING 3.1 Introduction 3.2
    The Study on Flood and Debris Flow Supporting Report I (Master Plan) Paper IV in the Caspian Coastal Area Meteo-Hydrology focusing on the Flood-hit Region in Golestan Province CHAPTER 3 HYDROLOGICAL MODELING 3.1 Introduction An integrated and distributed MIKE SHE hydrological model is used to evaluate rainfall-runoff process in the Madarsoo River basin. The model is able to analyze impacts of watershed management practices, land use, soil types, topographic features, flow regulation structures, etc. over the basin on river flows. For this, MIKE SHE model was coupled with MIKE 11 river modeling system to simulate flows in the river system. Inflows and hydrodynamic processes in rivers are taken into consideration for model development. The model computes river flows taking account of overland flow, interflow and base-flow. An integrated and distributed hydrological model MIKE SHE was set up for the Madarsoo River basin for the following reasons: (1) To generate probable or design discharges precisely in the river system to assist on flood control master plan development, (2) To analyze the impacts of watershed management practices and biological measures of flood mitigation by quantifying river flows under these circumstances, and (3) To analyze the impact of incorporation of flood regulation structures like dam in the river system to reduce peak flows. 3.2 MIKE SHE MIKE SHE is an integrated hydrological model because all components of hydrological cycle (precipitation, evapotranspiration, surface flow, infiltration, groundwater flow, etc.) are incorporated into the model. Similarly, and it is also a distributed model because the model can handle spatial and temporal distributions of parameters.

Mail.: [email protected] - [email protected] _____________________________________________________________________ ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article History In this study, phylogenetic and morphological studies of Salmo Received:28 /4/2019 trutta fario isolate Persicus with partial and complete mitochondrial Accepted:30/6/2019 sequencing was carried out. The full length and partial sequencing _________________ (NADH 1 gene) were sequenced and deposited in GenBank accession Keywords: numbers LC137015, LC137894, LC154931, LC1549281, and Salmo trutta LC011387.1. Almost all meristic traits values were the same between caspius, Salmo Salmo trutta fario caught from the four regions Cheshmeh Kile, Jaj trutta fario, Roud, Ghasem Abad and Siahkal Roud. On the other hand, studies of Mitochondrial molecular phylogenetic-based Maximum Parsimony between Salmo genomic trutta fario isolate Persicus and another 50 nucleotide sequences of . Salmonid species showed low variation between Salmo trutta fario (LC137015), Salmo trutta caspius (LC011387.1) and Salmo Salar (different accession numbers). Moreover, Maximum Composite Likelihood Estimate conducted was conducted using MEGA software version 7.0. According to that, rates of different transitional and transversional changes are shown. The resulting nucleotide frequencies are 29.76% (A), 26.34% (T/U), 24.24% (C) and 19.66% (G).
