A new European species in the genus Melangyna Verrall, 1901 (Diptera: Syrphidae).

Melangyna pavlovskyi (Violovitsh, 1956) has been found breeding in Denmark. The species is recorded from four localities on Zealand, and it is established on at least one of these. It is new to the European fauna. A redescription of M. pavlovskyi based on the external characters and an updated key to the NW European species of Melangyna are presented.

The Hansson Twin Hook is adequate for fixation of trochanteric fractures - 2 fixation failures in a series of 157 prospectively followed patients

Background and purpose The Hansson Twin Hook (HTH) is an alternative to the lag screw in the treatment of trochanteric fractures. In osteoporotic bone, mechanical tests have indicated that the HTH has better fixation properties than the lag screw. We evaluated the fixation stability of the HTH in a large series of elderly patients with trochanteric fractures. Many surgeons were involved in assessm

Learning to signal: analysis of a micro-level reinforcement model

We consider the following signaling game. Nature plays first from the set {1,2}{1,2}. Player 1 (the Sender) sees this and plays from the set {A,B}{A,B}. Player 2 (the Receiver) sees only Player 1’s play and plays from the set {1,2}{1,2}. Both players win if Player 2’s play equals Nature’s play and lose otherwise. Players are told whether they have won or lost, and the game is repeated. An urn sche

Receding Horizon Prediction by Bayesian Combination of Multiple Predictors

This paper presents a novel online approach of merging multiple different predictors of time-varying dynamics into a single optimized prediction. Different predictors are merged by recursive weighting into a single prediction using regularized optimization. The approach is evaluated on two different cases of data with shifting dynamics; one example of prediction using several approximate models of

Negotiating Thainess : Religious and National Identities in Thailand's Southern Conflict

The purpose of this study is to investigate how people express religious and national identities in the conflict-ridden Patani region of southern Thailand. In a historical framework of disputes over territory and political legitimacy, where identities have developed in response to an emerging Thai nation, it is of relevance to understand the dynamics of these identities and to disclose how local p

Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a vector boson and decaying to a b-quark pair with the ATLAS detector

This Letter presents the results of a direct search with the ATLAS detector at the LHC for a Standard Model Higgs boson of mass 110 lvbb (b) over bar and ZH -> v (v) over bar(b) over bar where l corresponds to an electron or a muon. No evidence for Higgs boson production is observed in a dataset of 7 TeV pp collisions corresponding to 4.7 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected by ATLAS in 2011

Semi-selective fatty acyl reductases from four Heliothine moths influence the specific pheromone composition

Background: Sex pheromones are essential in moth mate communication. Information on pheromone biosynthetic genes and enzymes is needed to comprehend the mechanisms that contribute to specificity of pheromone signals. Most heliothine moths use sex pheromones with (Z)–11–hexadecenal as the major component in combination with minor fatty aldehydes and alcohols. In this study we focus on four closely

Effects of Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty in the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial.

PURPOSE: To analyze reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) by argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) in the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial and factors influencing the effect of such treatment. DESIGN: Cohort study based on 127 patients from the treatment group of the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial, a randomized clinical trial. METHODS: Patients randomized to the treatment arm of the Early Manifest Gla

Perception of budgetary control: a study of differences across managers in Swedish public primary healthcare related to professional background and sex.

nylinder p. (2011) Journal of Nursing Management19, 664-672 Perception of budgetary control: a study of differences across managers in Swedish public primary healthcare related to professional background and sex Background The composition of managers in Swedish public primary care centres has changed since the mid-1990s, favouring nurses and female managers. In parallel, health-care professionals

Nonsteroidal Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators and Selective Estrogen Receptor β Agonists Moderate Cognitive Deficits and Amyloid-β Levels in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease.

Decreases of the sex steroids, testosterone and estrogen, are associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Testosterone and estrogen supplementation improves cognitive deficits in animal models of Alzheimer's disease. Sex hormones play a role in the regulation of amyloid-β via induction of the amyloid-β degrading enzymes neprilysin and insulin-degrading enzyme. To mimic the effect of dih

Adsorption of chloromethane molecules on free argon clusters

Binary chloromethane-argon clusters were investigated by means of synchrotron-radiation-based valence and core level photoelectron spectroscopies. The host argon clusters were produced by adiabatic expansion and exposed to chloromethane molecules using the pick-up technique. The study of the valence spectrum showed that heterogeneous clusters were formed. The spatial distribution of chloromethane

Regional Innovation Measured by Patent Data-Does Quality Matter?

This paper devises a new way of measuring the geographical scope of innovation based on patent data and compares its geographical distribution with that of patents granted and production. Indicators of patent quality are used to form an index of regional innovation, which is argued to be an improvement over patent counts, which are seen as indicators of inventions. Innovations are more concentrate

Socioeconomic inequalities in death from past to present: An introduction

In the early postwar period, improvements in life expectancy in many Western countries made health authorities, health scientists and politicians believe that social differences in mortality converged. The assumption was that inequality, when measured as death rates, was on steady decline, possibly even on the brink of disappearing. The question is then, how far back in time can social differences

Ionic-Charge Dependence of tie Intermolecular Coulombic Decay Time Scale for Aqueous Ions Probed by the Core-Hole Clock

Auger electron spectroscopy combined with theoretical calculations has been applied to investigate the decay of the Ca 2p core hole of aqueous Ca2+. Beyond the localized two-hole final states on the calcium ion, originating from a normal Auger process, we have further identified the final states delocalized between the calcium ion and its water surroundings and produced by core level intermolecula
