It is highly sclerotized and concealed by the 7th abdominal tergite and sternite. The venom sac serves as a reservoir for the venom which synthesized by the convoluted gland present in it, which is remarkably uniform to that of ants. The median duct extends from lower portion of venom sac, which measures 2.5 ±0.17 mm （mean ＋ SD） （n = 20） in length. The Dufour gland is a tube-like structure which is inserted in the sting-bulb. The triangular plate is attached at terminal portion of rami, which is in turn attached with lancets. The gonostyli are paired long and tubular structure with 5.29 ± 0.23 mm （n = 20） in length. The sting length is 5.29 ±0.23 mm （n = 20）. The fulcral arm is well-developed with an inverse Y-shaped structure present beneath the sting-bulb. Barbs on the sting shaft are weakly developed in X fenestrata but well developed in ants. The venom apparatus ofX. fenestrata when compared is similar to the bees but differs from that of the wasps and ants.展开更多

Data from buried pipe tests on HDPE pipes with thirteen different profiles were included in the study. These tests were run in the soil cell at Utah State University. Also, parallel plate tests were also completed on the pipe samples. Data from 39 buried pipe tests were analyzed. The buried tests were at 75, 85 and 95 percent of standard Proctor density. This paper summarizes the results of that study and focuses on the tests buried in 85 percent dense soil. In addition to the experimental data, a portion of this paper focuses on finite element analysis results to confirm and extend the results from the physical tests. Design limits are recommended for several dimensionless parameters that describe profile geometry. One of the significant conclusions of this study was that pipes with profiles that perform well when buried in soil also perform well in a parallel plate tests. The identities of the pipe manufacturers are not disclosed, and pipes are only described in terms of basic parameters such as cross-sectional area and area moments of inertia.展开更多
