A taxonomic framework for typhlopid snakes from the Caribbean and other regions (Reptilia, Squamata). Caribbean Herpetology 49:1–61. Abstract The evolutionary history and taxonomy of worm-like snakes (scolecophidians) continues to be refined as new molec- ular data are gathered and analyzed. Here we present additional evidence on the phylogeny of these snakes, from morphological data and 489 new DNA sequences, and propose a new taxonomic framework for the family Typhlopi- dae. Of 257 named species of typhlopid snakes, 92 are now placed in molecular phylogenies along with 60 addition- al species yet to be described. Afrotyphlopinae subfam. nov. is distributed almost exclusively in sub-Saharan Africa and contains three genera: Afrotyphlops, Letheobia, and Rhinotyphlops. Asiatyphlopinae subfam. nov. is distributed in Asia, Australasia, and islands of the western and southern Pacific, and includes ten genera:Acutotyphlops, Anilios, Asiatyphlops gen.

Owners gain an ultimate profit from dismantlement. Most of the offshore platforms sent to be demolished since the beginning of the year are semi-submersible rigs.

  • Nemesis: Oil and Missiles in the 21St Century (Part 1)
    ! 1! ! NEMESIS: OIL AND MISSILES IN THE 21st CENTURY PART 1 of 3 SERIALIZED STUDY BY – CAPT. David L.O. Hayward Australian Army Reserve (Retd.) ! ! ! ! ! 2! NEMESIS: OIL AND MISSILES IN THE 21st CENTURY “The country that faced down the tyranny of fascism and communism is now called to challenge the tyranny of oil”, Barack Obama, Detroit Economic Club, May 2007. Introduction Strangulation of the ‘umbilical cord’, our essential global oil supply conduit from the Arabian Gulf to major oil-consuming nations in SE Asia, could gradually choke out our life on our vulnerable planet. Are we already doomed? This paper undertakes a brief historical analysis as to how oil supply contingency was initially perceived, mentions the Oil Tanker War, and discusses the global oil supply chain. The paper focuses on the increasing militarism amongst those oil consumer nations dependent largely upon Middle East hydrocarbons supply. The “Arab Spring” is highlighted together with a cursory analysis of the civil war in Syria. The paper reviews the missile and anti-missile shield arms race, and the geopolitical, economic and military implications for the West before the end of the 21st Century. Chinese perspectives are stated, analysed and broadly critiqued. Cursory findings and conclusions are advanced including suggested reforms to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Recent history has portrayed the never ending struggle for oil supply. In earlier times, the battle for oil supply amongst competing oil-consumer nations was often backed up by intrusive gunboat diplomacy and naval blockade. Today, it is under a much greater threat from missile deployments, and from high speed offshore patrol vessels (OPV) armed with limited-theatre anti-ship missiles (ASBM) and other sophisticated weapons.

  • Risk Analysis and Naval Architecture in the Period 1950-2010 David
    INSTITUTIONEN FÖR FILOSOFI OCH TEKNIKHISTORIA AVDELNINGEN FÖR TEKNIK- OCH VETENSKAPSHISTORIA Risk analysis and naval architecture in the period 1950-2010 David Ericsson Date 14/5 - 2011 Date of opposition 15/4 – 2011 Mentor Hjalmar Fors Dag Avango Opponent Karl Bruno Risk analysis and naval architecture in the period 1950-2010 Abstract This thesis treats the historical development of the marine industry worldwide and its relation to risk analysis during the 60 year period of 1950 to 2010. The relation between the two is found through analysis of what risks connect the two and drive the development of technology and legislation during different time periods. There is little to no previous research on this particular subject particularly using a risk perspective of complex systems. To do this it became necessary to write a summary of the development of the maritime industry in technological and legislative terms, in modern time, while at the same time revealing clear insights in how this development works. The summary is based on a wide variety of different sources, and therefore gives a reasonably accurate description of the development given the period and scope looked at. Generalizing the development is found to be that risks force legislative changes, and that technological development is sometimes responsible for causing the risks. That said, many technological developments also help reduce overall risk. The major conclusion drawn is that when a risk is acknowledged there is a conscious effort made to minimize or eliminate it, which in turn is a development, a system change of sorts that might have generated new risks.

De acuerdo con las mejores fuentes de información dis - ponibles, los mayores buques del mundo en la actuali - dad son los que figuran en la tabla 1.
