Saturniidae
Saturniidae, commonly known as saturniids, is a family of Lepidoptera with an estimated 2,300 described species. The family contains some of the largest species of moths in the world. Notable members include the emperor moths, royal moths, and giant silk moths. Adults are characterized by large, lobed wings, heavy bodies covered in hair-like scales, and reduced mouthparts. They lack a frenulum, but the hindwings overlap the forewings to produce the effect of an unbroken wing surface.Tuskes PM, Tuttle JP, Collins MM (1996)''The Wild Silk Moths of North America: A Natural History of the Saturniidae of the United States and Canada''. Pages 182-184.Cornell University Press, Ithaca, New York. Saturniids are sometimes brightly colored and often have translucent eyespots or "windows" on their wings. Sexual dimorphism varies by species, but males can generally be distinguished by their larger, broader antennae. Most adults possess wingspans between 1-6 in (2.5–15 cm), but so ...

Aurivillius Phases
Aurivillius phases are a form of perovskite represented by the general formulae is ( Bi2 O2)(A''n''−1B''n''O3''n''+1) (where A is a large 12 co-ordinate cation, and B is a small 6 co-ordinate cation). Basically, their structure is built by alternating layers of i2O2sup>2+ and pseudo-perovskite blocks, with perovskite layers that are ''n'' octahedral layers in thickness. This crystal structure was first described in 1949 by Swedish chemist Bengt Aurivillius. The first interest in Aurivillius phases arose from the observation of ferroelectricity even for the simplest member, Bi2WO6 (n=1) of this crystallographic family. The Mo-homologous Aurivillius phase Bi2MoO6 was recently investigated as a potential LTCC material. Their oxide ion-conducting properties of Aurivillius phases were first discovered in the 1970s by Takahashi et al., and they have been used too for this purpose ever since. Aurivillius phase oxide materials are a class of lead-free ceramics. See also * Ruddlesde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Karl Aurivillius
Karl Aurivillius (2 August 1717 Stockholm – 19 January 1786 Uppsala) was a Swedish linguist, translator and orientalist. Education At age twelve he began studying Arabic, and since then he also learned to read Persian, Turkish, and Georgian. He studied at Uppsala University and in Paris, Leiden and Halle. He became friends with the major contemporary Orientalists, as Michaelis, Etienne Fourmont and Albert Schultens. Career Aurivillius was a master of the Syriac, Arabic, Sanskrit and oriental languages. In 1747 he became associate professor of Greek and Oriental Languages at Uppsala. His thesis was on the USU dialect Arabica, and earned his doctorate in 1752 with a dissertation on Ibn al-Wardi cosmography. He was part of King Gustav III's Bible Commission and translated almost the entire Old Testament The Old Testament (often abbreviated OT) is the first division of the Christian biblical canon, which is based primarily upon the 24 books of the Hebrew Bible or ...

Carl Wilhelm Samuel Aurivillius
Carl Wilhelm Samuel Aurivillius (31 August 1854 in the parish of Forsa, today part of Hudiksvall Municipality – 1899) was a Swedish planktologist and carcinologist. He was the brother of entomologist Per Olof Christopher Aurivillius (1853-1928). Beginning in 1872 he studied zoology at the University of Uppsala, receiving his doctorate in 1883. Later on, he worked as a lecturer of zoology at the university. From 1893 he was a member of the ''Svenska Hydrografiska Kommissionen'' (Swedish Hydrographic Commission). He is remembered for his studies of plankton found in the Arctic Ocean and in waters around Sweden. The genus ''Aurivillialepas'' (family Calanticidae) commemorates his name, as do the barnacle species ''Oxynaspis aurivillii'' (Stebbing, 1900) and ''Amigdoscalpellum aurivillii'' (Pilsbry, 1907).
