Fauna Europaea provides a public web-service with an index of scientific names (including synonyms) of all living European land and freshwater animals, their geographical distribution at country level (up to the Urals, excluding the Caucasus region), and some additional information. The Fauna Europaea project covers about 230,000 taxonomic names, including 130,000 accepted species and 14,000 accepted subspecies, which is much more than the originally projected number of 100,000 species. This represents a huge effort by more than 400 contributing specialists throughout Europe and is a unique (standard) reference suitable for many users in science, government, industry, nature conservation and education.
Coleoptera represent a huge assemblage of holometabolous insects, including as a whole more than 200 recognized families and some 400,000 described species worldwide. Basic information is summarized on their biology, ecology, economic relevance, and estimated number of undescribed species worldwide. Little less than 30,000 species are listed from Europe. The Coleoptera 2 section of the Fauna Europaea database (Archostemata, Myxophaga, Adephaga and Polyphaga excl. the series Elateriformia, Scarabaeiformia, Staphyliniformia and the superfamily Curculionoidea) encompasses 80 families (according to the previously accepted family-level systematic framework) and approximately 13,000 species. Tabulations included a complete list of the families dealt with, the number of species in each, the names of all involved specialists, and, when possible, an estimate of the gaps in terms of total number of species at an European level. A list of some recent useful references is appended. Most families included in the Coleoptera 2 Section have been updated in the most recent release of the Fauna Europaea index, or are ready to be updated as soon as the FaEu data management environment completes its migration from Zoological Museum Amsterdam to Berlin Museum für Naturkunde.
A Urinary Incontinence Continuing Education Online Course for Community Health Nurses in South Korea
Authors: De Gagne Jennie C. , Park Sunah , So Aeyoung , Wu Bei , Palmer Mary H. , McConnell Eleanor S. 
Published: April 2015

Background:
Although urinary incontinence is prevalent among older women living in rural Korea, a lack of awareness and education exists in this population and among health professionals. Geographic isolation and limited resources also contribute to having few educational offerings for rural nurses. The authors’ aim was to develop an online continuing education course on continence care for community health nurses and to examine its effectiveness.

Method:
A one-group, pretest–posttest design was used to detect changes in knowledge and attitudes after taking the online education course. Participant satisfaction was also measured at the end of the training.

Results:
A significant improvement in knowledge and attitudes toward continence care was noted. More than 95% of participants responded that they would recommend the online program to other health care providers and indicated the program would be helpful regarding continence care in their practice.

Conclusion:
The continuing education online course is a feasible strategy to support rural community health nurses’ learning to improve knowledge and attitudes toward urinary incontinence management and care.

Abstract
NK cells contribute to postvaccination immune responses after activation by IL-2 from Ag-specific memory T cells or by cross-linking of the low-affinity IgG receptor, CD16, by Ag–Ab immune complexes. Sensitivity of NK cells to these signals from the adaptive immune system is heterogeneous and influenced by their stage of differentiation. CD56dimCD57+ NK cells are less responsive to IL-2 and produce less IFN-γ in response to T cell–mediated activation than do CD56bright or CD56dimCD57− NK cells. Conversely, NK cell cytotoxicity, as measured by degranulation, is maintained across the CD56dim subsets. Human CMV (HCMV), a highly prevalent herpes virus causing lifelong, usually latent, infections, drives the expansion of the CD56dimCD57+NKG2C+ NK cell population, skewing the NK cell repertoire in favor of cytotoxic responses at the expense of cytokine-driven responses. We hypothesized, therefore, that HCMV seropositivity would be associated with altered NK cell responses to vaccine Ags. In a cross-sectional study of 152 U.K. adults, with HCMV seroprevalence rate of 36%, we find that HCMV seropositivity is associated with lower NK cell IFN-γ production and degranulation after in vitro restimulation with pertussis or H1N1 influenza vaccine Ags. Higher expression of CD57/NKG2C and lower expression of IL-18Rα on NK cells from HCMV seropositive subjects do not fully explain these impaired responses, which are likely the result of multiple receptor–ligand interactions. This study demonstrates for the first time, to our knowledge, that HCMV serostatus influences NK cell contributions to adaptive immunity and raises important questions regarding the impact of HCMV infection on vaccine efficacy.
Ionospheric flow shear associated with the preexisting auroral arc: A statistical study from the FAST spacecraft data

Published: April 2015

AbstractAn auroral substorm is a disturbance in the magnetosphere that releases energy stored in the magnetotail into the high‐latitude ionosphere. By definition, an auroral substorm commences when a discrete auroral arc brightens and subsequently expands poleward and azimuthally. The arc that brightens is usually the most equatorward of several auroral arcs that remain quiescent for ~5 to ~60 min before the breakup commences. This arc is often referred to as the “preexisting auroral arc (PAA)” or the “growth‐phase arc.” In this study, we use FAST measurements to establish the statistics of flow patterns near PAAs in the ionosphere. We find that flow shear is present in the vicinity of a preexisting arc. When a PAA appears in the evening sector, enhanced westward flow develops equatorward of the arc, whereas when a PAA appears in the morning sector, enhanced eastward flow develops poleward of the arc. We benchmark locations of the PAAs relative to large‐scale field‐aligned currents (FACs) and convective flows in the ionosphere, finding that the arc forms in the upward current region within ~1° of the Region 1/Region 2 boundary in all local time sectors from 20 MLT to 03 MLT. We also find that near midnight in the Harang region, most of the PAAs lie within 0.5° poleward of the low‐latitude Region 1/Region 2 currents boundary and sit between the westward and eastward flow peak but equatorward of the flow reversal point. Finally, we examine arc‐associated electrodynamics and find that the FAC of the PAA is mainly closed by the north‐south Pedersen current in the ionosphere.
Latitudinal distributions of atmospheric dicarboxylic acids, oxocarboxylic acids, and α‐dicarbonyls over the western North Pacific: Sources and formation pathways
Authors: Bikkina Srinivas , Kawamura Kimitaka , Miyazaki Yuzo 
Published: April 2015

AbstractThe present study aims to assess the molecular distributions of water‐soluble dicarboxylic acids (diacids: C2–C12), oxocarboxylic acids (C2–C9), and α‐dicarbonyls (glyoxal and methylglyoxal) in aerosols collected over the western North Pacific (WNP) during a summer cruise (August to September 2008). The measured water‐soluble organics show pronounced latitudinal distributions with higher concentrations in the region of 30°N–45°N (average 63 ng m−3) than 10°N–30°N (18 ng m−3). Mass fraction of oxalic acid (C2) in total aliphatic diacids (ΣC2–C12) showed higher values (72 ± 10%) in lower latitude (10°N–30°N) than that (56 ± 16%) in higher latitude (30°N–45°N), suggesting a photochemical production of C2 due to an increased insolation over the tropical WNP. A similar trend was found in other diagnostic ratios such as oxalic to succinic (C2/C4) and oxalic to glyoxylic acid (C2/ωC2), which further corroborate an enhanced photochemical aging over the WNP. In addition, relative abundances of oxalic acid in total diacids showed a marked increase as a function of ambient temperature, supporting their photochemical production. Constantly low concentration ratios of adipic and phthalic acids relative to azelaic acid suggest a small contribution of anthropogenic sources and an importance of oceanic sources during the study period. Significant production of C2 through oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds emitted from the sea surface is also noteworthy, as inferred from the strong linear correlations among water‐soluble organic carbon, methanesulphonic acid, and oxalic acid. Sea‐to‐air emission of unsaturated fatty acids also contributes to formation of diacids over the WNP.
The Saharan heat low and moisture transport pathways in the central Sahara—Multiaircraft observations and Africa‐LAM evaluation
Authors: Engelstaedter S. , Washington R. , Flamant C. , Parker D. J. , Allen C. J. T. , Todd M. C. 
Published: April 2015

AbstractWe present a characterization of the Saharan heat low (SHL) based on dropsonde observations made on 22 June 2011 by two simultaneously flying aircraft during the Fennec project. The observations are used to identify moisture transport pathways and to validate the UK Met Office limited area model for northern Africa (Africa‐LAM). The observations capture the SHL, harmattan, and monsoon surge. The SHL has a northeast‐southwest orientated elongated shape centered over northern Mauritania. The SHL core is associated with a 950 hPa temperature minimum (36.4°C) in the morning caused by the monsoon surge and a maximum (42.6°C) in the afternoon. The monsoon surge east of the SHL core splits into two transport pathways: (a) curving around the SHL core in the north, especially pronounced in a morning near‐surface layer, and (b) northeastward transport within the ~2 km deep monsoon surge (afternoon observations only). In the morning the model forecasts the harmattan, monsoon surge, and the SHL geographic location and northeast‐southwest orientation well but the model represents the SHL flatter and more spatially extended and overestimates the convective boundary layer (CBL) by up to ~0.3 km. The simulated afternoon SHL location appears shifted westward by up to ~1°. The model overestimates the shallow afternoon monsoon surge CBL depth of ~1.8 km by >2 km resulting in southwestward transport of vertically mixed moisture above ~2.5 km contrasting observed northeastward‐only transport at lower levels. This moisture distribution model error is likely to have consequences for simulations of Saharan thermodynamics and dust emissions caused by convection‐driven cold pools.
Menu Labeling Fills the Gaps in Consumers’ Knowledge of the Calorie Content of Restaurant Foods
Authors: Stewart Hayden , Hyman Jeffrey , Dong Diansheng 
Published: April 2015

ABSTRACTRestaurant foods are typically higher in calories than meals consumed at home. A goal of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is to encourage healthier food choices at restaurants by providing consumers with information about the calorie content of menu items. However, doesn't a well‐informed consumer already know that a 12‐piece bucket of chicken has more calories than a salad? Following research in marketing science and behavioral economics, we evaluate a representative consumer's ability to discriminate between low‐calorie and high‐calorie menu items using only some basic “rules of thumb” nutrition knowledge. Results reveal the extent to which menu labeling may increase consumers' knowledge about the calories in restaurant foods.
Price Transmission in the European Tomatoes and Cauliflowers Sectors
Authors: Santeramo Fabio Gaetano 
Published: April 2015

ABSTRACTThe paper explores the characteristics of spatial price movements for fresh vegetables. The analysis is conducted on tomato and cauliflower prices collected on main production and consumption European markets. We estimate an asymmetric threshold autoregressive econometric model and provide estimates of transaction costs and speeds of price transmission among spatially separated markets. We assess the average elapsing time for the transmission of price shocks. In eight of ten cases we found that spatial price transmissions is not symmetric. Moreover in most cases we conclude that tomato and cauliflower markets are not efficient. We convey interesting policy considerations for the fresh vegetables sectors.
meso‐Hydroxysubporphyrins: A Cyclic Trimeric Assembly and a Stable meso‐Oxy Radical
Authors: Shimizu Daiki , Oh Juwon , Furukawa Ko , Kim Dongho , Osuka Atsuhiro 
Published: April 2015

AbstractTreatment of meso‐chlorosubporphyrin with potassium hydroxide in DMSO followed by aqueous work up and recrystallization gave a cyclic trimer consisting of meso‐hydroxysubporphyrin units linked between the central boron atoms and meso‐hydroxy groups. Solutions of this trimer are nonfluorescent, but become fluorescent when exposed to acid or base, since hydrolytic cleavage of the axial BO bonds generates the meso‐hydroxysubporphyrin monomer or its oxyanion. Ring cleavage of the trimer was also effected by reaction with phenylmagnesium bromide to produce meso‐hydroxy‐B‐phenyl subporphyrin, which can be quantitatively oxidized with PbO2 to furnish a subporphyrin meso‐oxy radical as a remarkably stable species as a result of spin delocalization over almost the entire molecule.
Polyethylene‐b‐poly(ethylene glycol) diblock copolymers: New synthetic strategy and application
Authors: Li Peiyuan , Fu Zhisheng , Fan Zhiqiang 
Published: April 2015

ABSTRACTPolyethylene‐b‐poly (ethylene glycol) (PE‐b‐PEG) was successfully synthesized by a coupling reaction of hydroxyl‐terminated polyethylene (PE‐OH) and isocyanate‐terminated poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG‐NCO). PE‐OH was prepared by coordination chain transfer polymerization (CCTP) using 2,6‐bis[1‐(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)imino ethyl] pyridine iron (II) dichloride /dry ethylaluminoxane (DEAO) /diethyl zinc (ZnEt2) as catalyst and subsequent in situ oxidation with oxygen. The active centers of this catalyst system were counted, indicating that the active centers were more stable using DEAO as cocatalyst than using dry methylaluminoxane (DMAO) as cocatalyst. PEG‐NCO was synthesized through the condensation reaction of monomethylpoly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with isophoronediisocyanate (IPDI). Subsequently, the thermal characterization, morphological characterization and the application of these diblock copolymers was investigated. The results indicated that the diblock copolymers were effective compatilizers for polyethylene/poly(ethylene glycol) blends. Meanwhile, they were excellent surface modification agents for polyethylene membrane and glass sheet, it can efficiently turn a hydrophobic surface into a hydrophilic surface, or vice versa. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: April 2015

ABSTRACTFlax and Jute fabrics were used as reinforcements with polyester resin to form composite skins while poplar particleboard was used as a core for making composite sandwich structures by applying vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) technique. Mechanical, physical, and biological properties of these novel composite sandwich structures were evaluated. The results showed that the proposed engineered panels have superior mechanical properties that are suitable for different structural applications compared with conventional particleboards. When compared with the control panels, significant enhancement on Modulus of elasticity (MOE) and Modulus of rupture (MOR) were achieved. On the other hand, the results indicated that the proposed panel composites exhibit better dimensional stability compared with poplar particleboard control panels. In addition, the proposed composite sandwich structures proved resistant against the decay fungi after 12 weeks of fungal exposure. Obviously, the developed composite panels could be used in a wide variety of applications. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015, 132, 42253.

ObjectivesTo evaluate early results, learning‐curve changes, and mid‐term outcome of arterial duct (AD) stenting in congenital heart disease with duct‐dependent pulmonary circulation (CHD‐DPC) in a high‐volume, tertiary referral center.BackgroundIn spite of wide acceptance as cost‐effective alternative to surgical palliation, AD stenting indications, results and mid‐term outcome still largely depend on small series, experiences in particular subsets of patients or multicenter series with different approaches and interventional philosophy.MethodsBetween April 2003 and December 2013, 119 patients underwent AD stenting as lower‐risk palliation of CHD‐DPC at our Institution. Procedural and mid‐term follow‐up data of these patients are reported.ResultsThe procedure was successfully completed in 93.3% of cases, with a complication rate and in‐hospital mortality of 17.6% and 3.6%, respectively. No patient underwent rescue surgical shunt but elective Blalock‐Taussig shunt was needed in 15 patients (13.5%). Over time, favorable trends toward higher feasibility and efficacy in complex ductal anatomy as well as lower procedural risk were recorded. Presurgical cardiac catheterization (n = 36) showed significant and balanced pulmonary artery (PA) growth (Nakata Index +113 ± 101%; left PA z‐score +87 ± 52%; right PA z‐score +97 ± 53%, P < 0.001 for all comparisons), without significant changes of left‐to‐right PA diameter ratio. PA growth was significantly better in patients with severely hypoplastic PAs at the time of duct stabilization (Nakata Index increase 194 ± 115 vs. 75 ± 61%, P < 0.001).ConclusionsAD stenting is feasible and effective at low‐risk in a high percentage of patients with CHD‐DPC, promoting significant and balanced PA growth mainly in patients with hypoplastic main PAs at duct stabilization. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of a Fe–Ni Alloy on a Ceria Support as a Noble‐Metal‐Free Catalyst for Hydrogen Production from Chemical Hydrogen Storage Materials
Authors: Mori Kohsuke , Taga Tomohisa , Yamashita Hiromi 
Published: April 2015

AbstractBimetallic FeNi nanoparticles supported on CeO2 was proven to be effective for hydrogen production from ammonia–borane (NH3–BH3) as a noble‐metal‐free catalyst. Impregnation of iron and nickel ions with the CeO2 surface followed by in situ reduction with NaBH4 prior to catalytic dehydrogenation of AB produced highly dispersed and partially oxidized amorphous FeNi NPs stabilized by strong interaction with the CeO2 support by NiOCe and FeOCe bonding. Investigation of the influence of the Fe/Ni ratio revealed a volcano‐shaped relationship with a maximum at Fe/Ni=1. FeNi/CeO2 was further applicable to dehydrogenation from dimethylamine–borane ((CH3)2NHBH3). The advantages of this catalytic system, such as the facile preparation method, free of noble metals, and high recyclability, with easy recovery from the reaction mixture by application of an external magnet, are particularly desirable for a hydrogen vector in terms of potential industrial application in fuel cells.
