Letter from Charles R. Bowen to Hubert Creekmore

Bowen writes from New York City to Creekmore in Jackson, Mississippi. He discusses Creekmore\u27s piece on Memphis, Tennessee, for Holiday magazine, and passes along comments by John [Valentine Schaffner?]. He is sad to hear Random House, Inc. would not consider the Natchez Trace book, but suggests seeing if the Baptist Publishing House in Nashville, Tennessee, might be interested. Bowen discusses his own writings, Elizabeth Spencer\u27s time in Rome, Dylan Thomas\u27s widow, Dr. Sitwell, and Marianne Moore. He mentions travel to Miami Beach, Florida, and Key West, Florida.

Bowen writes from New York City to Creekmore in Jackson, Mississippi. He mentions Creekmore\u27s Memphis, Tennessee, essay in Holiday magazine. He discusses his plans for New Year\u27s Eve in Memphis, Tennessee, and a past New Year\u27s Eve in New Orleans, Louisiana. He asks who David Smythe is. Bowen talks about New York during the holidays, hearing Hector Berlioz\u27s L\u27enfance du Christ at Carnegie Hall, reading Simone de Beauvoir\u27s America Day by Day.

A New Species of Cryptopone Emery (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Ponerinae) from Brazil with Observations of this Genus and a Key for New World Species

The monophyly of Ponerinae was strongly supported by a detailed molecular phylogenetic study. Within the subfamily, substantial changes were yet done to the taxonomy of several genera, such as Cryptopone Emery, and after phylogenetic and morphological considerations, the genus Cryptopone was revived. Cryptopone is a moderately large genus of pantropical distribution, with 25 described species and subspecies, with its diversity centered mostly in East and Southeast Asia. In the New World, only four species were known until now, Cryptopone gilva (Roger), Cryptopone guianensis (Weber), Cryptopone holmgreni (Wheeler) and Cryptopone mirabilis (Mackay & Mackay). Since the Mackay and Mackay’s revision of 2010 of the genus Pachycondyla which included the species currently attributed to Cryptopone, no new species was added to Cryptopone genus in the New World. Recently an unidentified Cryptopone species was collected in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. The material here described was sampled by manual collection of soil in the Floresta Nacional do Jamari (FLONA Jamari). Four individuals belonging to the worker caste are hereafter described under the name of Cryptopone pauli sp. nov. Currently this ant is known only to a single locality in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. This is also the first record of this genus for that state. We present new records of Cryptopone for the Neotropical Region with some comments on its biology and an updated key to workers of the five species of Cryptopone currently known in the New World

Weak charge and weak radius of 12{}^{12}C

We present a feasibility study of a simultaneous sub-percent extraction of the weak charge and the weak radius of the ${}^{12}$C nucleus using parity-violating electron scattering, based on a largely model-independent assessment of the uncertainties. The corresponding measurement is considered to be carried out at the future MESA facility in Mainz with $E_{\rm beam} = 155$ MeV. We find that a combination of a $0.3\%$ precise measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry at forward angles with a $10\%$ measurement at backward angles will allow to determine the weak charge and the weak radius of ${}^{12}$C with $0.4\%$ and $0.5\%$ precision, respectively. These values could be improved to $0.3\%$ and $0.2\%$ for a $3\%$ backward measurement. This experimental program will have impact on precision low-energy tests in the electroweak sector and nuclear structure.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
