A new genus and two new species of Pudeoniscidae Lemos de Castro 1973 (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) from Brazil

To date, the family Pudeoniscidae includes six species and three genera, Pudeoniscus, Brasiloniscus and Iansaoniscus, with distributions restricted to Brazil. Here, we redefine the family Pudeoniscidae based on the discovery of a new genus and two new species, Oxossioniscus pataxo sp. nov. and Oxossioniscus akoko sp. nov., from the Brazilian Atlantic forest in the state of Bahia, and on the examination of Pudeoniscus birabeni and Pudeoniscus obscurus. Moreover, P. obscurus is re-described and new records are provided for P. birabeni.

Theoretical construction in physics – The role of Leibniz for Weyl's ‘Philosophie der Mathematik und Naturwissenschaft’

This paper aims at closing a gap in recent Weyl research by investigating the role played by Leibniz for the development and consolidation of Weyl's notion of theoretical (symbolic) construction. For Weyl, just as for Leibniz, mathematics was not simply an accompanying tool when doing physics—for him it meant the ability to engage in well-guided speculations about a general framework of reality and experience. The paper first introduces some of the background of Weyl's notion of theoretical construction and then discusses particular Leibnizian inheritances in Weyl's ‘Philosophie der Mathematik und Naturwissenschaft’, such as the general appreciation of the principles of sufficient reason and of continuity. Afterwards the paper focuses on three themes: first, Leibniz's primary quality phenomenalism, which according to Weyl marked the decisive step in realizing that physical qualities are never apprehended directly; second, the conceptual relation between continuity and freedom; and third, Leibniz's notion of ‘expression’, which allows for a certain type of (surrogative) reasoning by structural analogy and which gave rise to Weyl's optimism regarding the scope of theoretical construction.     

桩长对单桩沉桩阻力和承载力特性影响的模型试验

静压桩的应用越来越广泛，为明确桩长与沉桩和承载力特性之间的关系，基于室内模型试验，对砂土中不同桩长的模型桩沉桩全过程进行了分析研究。采用振弦式压力计、微型土压力盒和高精度位移计对沉桩时的压桩端阻力、卸载后的桩周土压力和桩体回弹量进行测量，揭示了桩长与单桩沉桩和承载力特性的关系。试验结果显示，利用端阻计有效测得沉桩过程中的压桩端阻力，在600mm深度范围压桩端阻力随沉桩深度和桩长的增大而近似线性增大的特性。微型界面土压力盒对桩周土压力的测量揭示了随桩长的增大卸载后的桩周土压力逐渐趋近于被动土压力，但在某一深度位置卸载后的桩周土压力随沉桩深度的增大而降低的变化规律。采用高精度位移计较准确测得卸载过程中的桩体回弹量，得到了桩体回弹主要发生在竖向与桩长有关，并且回弹量相对较小，约为桩长的0.35%。此外，桩体加载过程中沉降随加载变化的速率与桩长相关，桩体的极限承载力随桩长增大而非线性增大。研究结果对于进一步明确桩长对沉桩特性和桩体极限承载力特性的影响机理具有重要工程意义     

不同产地独活及其混伪品的质量差异性分析

多点采样,对不同来源的独活及其混伪品进行质量差异性分析.测定不同产地独活及其混伪品总灰分、酸不溶性灰分、蛇床子素和二氢欧山芹醇当归酸酯质量分数,并结合HPLC指纹图谱对不同产地独活及其混伪品开展质量评价.结果表明,不同产地独活除陕西样品的蛇床子素略低于《中华人民共和国药典》(以下简称《药典》)标准外,其余样品均符合《药典》质量要求,而独活混伪品的蛇床子素质量分数均远低于正品独活质量分数.不同产地的独活HPLC指纹图谱有25个共有峰,各独活样品的指纹图谱与对照图谱的相似度在0.9以上,所建立的指纹图谱可用于独活的质量评价.因此,多指标的测定结果结合HPLC指纹图谱,可有效对不同产地的独活质量进行差异性分析和评价;混伪品蛇床子素的质量分数远低于正品独活,蛇床子素的质量分数高低可作为正品独活区别于混伪品的一个重要特征指标.
