ABSTRACT: Logistics is a human and process-oriented business. The service performance of logistics companies is heavily relied on the abilities and know-how of logistics operators and managers to organize and manage organizational resources. Due to the increasing complexity and fast changing customer service requirement, reliance on human experience and know-how to manage dynamic logistics services has become inadequate. In this paper, a real-time knowledge based system, namely A RFID based knowledge management systems (RFID-KMS) is designed to enhance the logistics performances by means of providing real-time knowledge support to the logistics operators. A case study has been conducted at a large Hong Kong logistics service provider, Eastern Worldwide Co. Ltd. (EWW). A performance evaluation of RFID-KMS is performed after the pilot test of the system. The result indicated that the system not only enhances the productivity of the company but also facilitates the creation of an organizational learning atmosphere.

ABSTRACT: Newly discovered mayflies from Madagascar have proven to represent a new genus and species of Tricorythidae. Provonshaka n. gen. is described in the larval stage, and compared with the Madagascar genus Manohyphella, which is also shown to be a member of the Tricorythidae. Provonshaka is a member of a phylogenetic lineage that also contains Manohyphella and the southeast Asia genus Teloganella. There are presently three tricorythid genera present in Madagascar, including the distantly related
Tricorythus. Provonshaka thomasorum n.sp. is described from three rivers in Madagascar and is sometimes found cohabiting with Manohyphella keiseri. A diagnostic table giving the differences between Provonshaka and Manohyphella is provided.RésuméDes éphémères malgaches récemment découverts appartiennent à un genre nouveau et à une espèce nouvelle de Tricorythidae. Provonshaka n.gen. est décrit à l'état larvaire, et est comparé au genre malgache Manohyphella, dont l'appartenance aux Tricorythidae est aussi prouvée. Provonshaka fait partie d'une lignée phylogénétique comprenant aussi Manohyphella et le genre Teloganella
d'Asie du Sud-Est. Trois genres de Tricorythidae sont actuellement connus de Madagascar, y compris le genre plus
éloigné Tricorythus. Provonshaka thomasorum n.sp. est décrite de trois rivières malgaches et peut cohabiter avec Manohyphella keiseri. Une table de diagnose résumant les caractères différentiels entre Provonshaka et Manohyphella est présentée.

ABSTRACT: The mayfly genus Teloganella Ulmer was originally described from a female subimago. Adults (both sexes) and larvae of Teloganella Ulmer collected in Malaysia form the basis of the first descriptions of the larva, adult, and egg of T. umbrata Ulmer and of the genus. Although Teloganella has historically been placed in the family Ephemerellidae and subfamily Teloganodinae, characteristics of larval forefemoral armature, male adult compound eyes, orientation of ICuA in the forewings, shape of adult tarsal segment 3, and male genitalia forceps segmentation strongly suggest placement in the family Tricorythidae, where it is classified here. Traditional ephemerellid characteristics of detached marginal venation in the forewings and the presence of dorsal abdominal tubercles in the larvae are found in Teloganella but are not reliable indicators of relationships. Teloganella is not placed in any subfamily because resolution of the exact phylogenetic relationships of subgroups in Ephemerellidae and Tricorythidae require further cladistic analysis.
