[Review of] Elizabeth Weatherford, ed. with Emelia Seubert, Native Americans on Film and Video
This is an extraordinarily impressive and thorough compilation of primarily documentary films made by and about Native Americans. The Museum of the American Indian, the Heye Foundation and Elizabeth Weatherford and Emelia Seubert are to be commended for their effort and industry. Native Americans on Film and Video grew out of a major exhibition, The Ancestors: Native Artisans of the Americas, where more than one hundred and twenty-five films and video tapes were shown by the museum
Rediscovery and redescription of Ceradryops punctatus Hinton, 1937 (Coleoptera: Dryopidae)
Ceradryops punctatus Hinton from Sri Lanka is redescribed and illustrated. Notes are made on the habitat of the species
Three new species of Hexanchorus Sharp, 1882 (Coleoptera: Elmidae: Larainae) from South America
Three new species of Hexanchorus Sharp, H. dimorphus and H. shannoni from Argentina, and H. mcdiarmidi from Venezuela, are described and illustrated
Luchoelmis : a new genus of Elmidae (Coleoptera) from Chile and Argentina
Luchoelmis New Genus is described with four new species: aequalis, magallanensis, and penai from Chile and cekalovici from Argentina and Chile. Luchoelmis penai is designated as the type species of the genus. A key to the four species is presented
A checklist of the Limnichidae and the Lutrochidae (Coleoptera) of the world
A checklist of the world species of Limnichidae (35 genera, 345 species) and Lutrochidae (1 genus, 11 species) is presented. The author, year of publication and page number, synonyms, distribution by country, and a terminal bibliography are given for each genus and species. Biological information is also reviewed

"Ultimate state" of two-dimensional Rayleigh-Benard convection between free-slip fixed temperature boundaries
Rigorous upper limits on the vertical heat transport in two dimensional
Rayleigh-Benard convection between stress-free isothermal boundaries are
derived from the Boussinesq approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations. The
Nusselt number Nu is bounded in terms of the Rayleigh number Ra according to
uniformly in the Prandtl number Pr. This Nusselt
number scaling challenges some theoretical arguments regarding the asymptotic
high Rayleigh number heat transport by turbulent convection.Comment: 4 page
3+1D hydrodynamic simulation of relativistic heavy-ion collisions
We present MUSIC, an implementation of the Kurganov-Tadmor algorithm for
relativistic 3+1 dimensional fluid dynamics in heavy-ion collision scenarios.
This Riemann-solver-free, second-order, high-resolution scheme is characterized
by a very small numerical viscosity and its ability to treat shocks and
discontinuities very well. We also incorporate a sophisticated algorithm for
the determination of the freeze-out surface using a three dimensional
triangulation of the hyper-surface. Implementing a recent lattice based
equation of state, we compute p_T-spectra and pseudorapidity distributions for
Au+Au collisions at root s = 200 GeV and present results for the anisotropic
flow coefficients v_2 and v_4 as a function of both p_T and pseudorapidity. We
were able to determine v_4 with high numerical precision, finding that it does
not strongly depend on the choice of initial condition or equation of state.Comment: 16 pages, 11 figures, version accepted for publication in PRC,
