    We report the occurrence of two leaf impressions and one leaf compression along with one winged fruit and two fruiting calyx lobes, resembling those of Shorea Roxburgh ex C. F. Gaertner, in the lower Siwalik (Dafla Formation, middle to upper Miocene), middle Siwalik (Subansiri Formation, Pliocene) and upper Siwalik (Kimin Formation, upper Pliocene to lower Pleistocene) sediments exposed in Arunachal Pradesh, eastern Himalaya. We determine their taxonomic positions based on morphological comparison with similar extant and fossil specimens and discuss their phytogeographic and paleoclimatic implications in terms of the distribution and habitat of fossil and modern populations. The Miocene winged fruit is recognized as Shorea pinjoliensis Khan, R.A. Spicer et Bera, sp. nov. while the Pliocene and Plio-Pleistocene fruiting calyx lobes are recognized as Shorea bhalukpongensis Khan, R.A. Spicer et Bera, sp. nov. and Shorea chandernagarensis Khan, R.A. Spicer et Bera, sp. nov. respectively. Based on leaf architecture the Miocene, Pliocene and Plio-Pleistocene leaves are recognized as Shorea mioobtusa Khan, R.A. Spicer et Bera, sp. nov., Shorea pliotumbuggaia Khan, R.A. Spicer et Bera, sp. nov. and Shorea nepalensis Konomatsu et Awasthi respectively. The discovery of members of Shorea indicates that they had arrived in a tropical, warm and humid eastern Himalaya by the Mio-Pleistocene. Present and earlier records of Shorea suggest that this genus was a common forest element during Neogene (Miocene time) as well as in the Siwalik forests including Arunachal sub-Himalaya. In this paper, we also review in detail the biogeographic history and suggest possible migration routes of the genus

    Design and semantics of form and movement (DeSForM 2006)

    Get PDF
    Design and Semantics of Form and Movement (DeSForM) grew from applied research exploring emerging design methods and practices to support new generation product and interface design. The products and interfaces are concerned with: the context of ubiquitous computing and ambient technologies and the need for greater empathy in the pre-programmed behaviour of the ‘machines’ that populate our lives. Such explorative research in the CfDR has been led by Young, supported by Kyffin, Visiting Professor from Philips Design and sponsored by Philips Design over a period of four years (research funding £87k). DeSForM1 was the first of a series of three conferences that enable the presentation and debate of international work within this field: • 1st European conference on Design and Semantics of Form and Movement (DeSForM1), Baltic, Gateshead, 2005, Feijs L., Kyffin S. & Young R.A. eds. • 2nd European conference on Design and Semantics of Form and Movement (DeSForM2), Evoluon, Eindhoven, 2006, Feijs L., Kyffin S. & Young R.A. eds. • 3rd European conference on Design and Semantics of Form and Movement (DeSForM3), New Design School Building, Newcastle, 2007, Feijs L., Kyffin S. & Young R.A. eds. Philips sponsorship of practice-based enquiry led to research by three teams of research students over three years and on-going sponsorship of research through the Northumbria University Design and Innovation Laboratory (nuDIL). Young has been invited on the steering panel of the UK Thinking Digital Conference concerning the latest developments in digital and media technologies. Informed by this research is the work of PhD student Yukie Nakano who examines new technologies in relation to eco-design textiles

    Get PDF
    Raden Ajeng Kartini atau biasa disebut Raden Ayu (R.A.) Kartini adalah seorang tokoh Jawa dan Pahlawan Nasional Indonesia dan beliau juga dikenal sebagai Pelopor Kebangkitan Perempuan Pribumi. Beliau lahir di Jepara, Jawa Tengah 21 April 1879 dan meninggal di Rembang, Jawa tengah 17 September 1904. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui Pemikiran dan perjuangan R.A. Kartini tentang pendidikan perempuan pribumi, karena untuk menjadi perempuan yang berpendidikan sebelum tahun 1900-an adalah hal yang sangat sulit dicapai oleh kaum perempuan. Perempuan tidak diperbolehkan untuk mendapatkan pendidikan, berawal dari masalah tersebut timbulah pemikiran-pemikiran R.A. Kartini. Dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa R.A. Kartini memandang bahwa Pendidikan adalah suatu hal yang sangat penting, dengan pendidikan   mampu mengangkat derajat dan mampu mengangkat martabat bangsa Indonesia baik itu pendidikan untuk laki-laki maupun untuk perempuan dan cita-cita yang diinginkan R.A. Kartini adalah membangun sekolah wanita.Raden Ajeng Kartini atau biasa disebut Raden Ayu (R.A.)

    The present contribution reviews recent advances made toward a microscopic understanding of superfluidity in nuclei using many-body methods based on the BCS ansatz and low-momentum inter-nucleon interactions, themselves based on chiral effective field theory and renormalization group techniques.Comment: 15 pages, contribution to "50 years of nuclear BCS", edited by R.A.
