Abstract
The mating behavior of Hyalesthes obsoletus Signoret (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) was studied to determine the role of substrate-borne vibrational signals in partner recognition, pair formation, and courtship. Planthopper vibrational signals were detected from nettle, Urtica dioica L., cuttings by laser vibrometer. Either male or female could initiate the mating sequence that was divided into three sections: recognition, courtship and precopula. The females were the more vibrationally active gender in the recognition stage and males in the courtship and precopula stages. Four distinct syllables constituted the male repertoire and were emitted in different behavioral contexts. The male syllable 1 was used during the recognition duet, as a reply to female pulse trains and it formed, in combination with male syllable 4, the male precopula signal. This latter signal was emitted in the vicinity of a receptive female and accompanied by jerky lateral movements of the body and tapping of the legs to the substrate. Although nonduetting males emitted long trains composed of male syllable 2, males during the courtship phase emitted trains formed mainly by male syllable 3. Female vibrational signals consisted of pulses, emitted either in trains during the recognition phase or as single pulses, in reply to male trains in the courtship stage. In the precopula phase, the females ceased signaling. According to our results, in H. obsoletus the vibrational signals play a major role in stimulating the male search process and in ensuring the female acceptance.
A Test for Interactions between Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) and Aethina tumida (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) in Colonies of Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Abstract
Field surveys indicate that declining colonies of honey bees, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), suffer simultaneously from multiple stress factors, raising concern that multiple stressors could be interacting to compound bee stress in an additive or synergistic fashion. We tested two null hypotheses: 1) Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman (Acari: Varroidae) (=varroa) and Aethina tumida Murray (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) do not interact such that the number of one affects the number or density of the other and 2) bee damage from one does not change in response to changing levels of the other. In a split-split plot design replicated in 2 yr and two states, experimental apiaries were established and each manipulated to achieve one of five average ± SE colony adult A. tumida populations: 0; 285 ± 6; 721 ± 5; 1,544 ± 14; or 3,175 ± 90. Within each apiary, the population of varroa mites in each colony was manipulated to achieve one of three average ± SE colony mite populations: 763 ± 121; 1,111 ± 155; or 1,856 ± 300. On a one-way basis, there was a predictable increase in measures of bee morbidity with increasing densities of each pest. Colony varroa mite levels decreased as apiary-wide A. tumida levels increased. In contrast, colony levels of the honey bee mite, Acarapis woodi (Rennie) (Acari: Tarsonemidae), increased as colony varroa levels increased. Concerning measures of bee morbidity, varroa and A. tumida did not interact such that damage by one was affected by changing levels of the other. A treatment threshold established for varroa before the arrival of A. tumida has not changed during the years since A. tumida has become established in the region.
New Records of Neotropical Fruit Flies (Tephritidae), Lance Flies (Lonchaeidae) (Diptera: Tephritoidea), and Their Host Plants in the South Pantanal and Adjacent Areas, Brazil

Published: August 2010

AbstractFruit flies (Tephritidae) and lance flies (Lonchaeidae) (Diptera) include pests of highest economic importance to horticulture around the world, because various species damage high value fruit crops, These Tephritoidea are the reason for quarantine barriers among many countries, limiting the commerce of fresh fruits and vegetables. Knowledge of frugivorous tephritoid species richness and their interactions with the host plants are extremely important to Integrated Pest Management. This paper presents the interactions of 15 species of Anastrepha Schiner, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Tephritidae), and eight species of Neosilba McAlpine (Lonchaeidae) with 40 host fruit species. We discovered that Pouteria glomerata (Miquel) Radlkofer (Sapotaceae) is the host fruit of Anastrepha undosa Stone. A. zernyi Lima was associated with fruit of Anacardium othonianum Rizzini (Anacardiaceae). This is the first record of A. zernyi from the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, and of A. hastata Stone from Central Brazil, A. sorocula Zucchi and A. zenildae Zucchi were the tephritids that infested the highest number of host fruits, A. alveatoides Blanchard, A. distincta Greene, A. macrura Hendel, A. rheediae Stone and A. undosa Stone were recovered from only one species of host, and all of these associations are new records. Also established for the first time are the associations among eight species of Neosilba with 38 host species. N. zadolicha McAlpine and Steyskal, N. pendula (Bezzi), N. glaberrima (Wiedemann) and N. inesperata Strikis and Prado were the most polyphagous Lonchaeidae.

Relationships of Body Size, Fecundity, and Invasion Success Among Predatory Lady Beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Inhabiting Alfalfa Fields
Authors: Kajita Yukie , Evans Edward W 
Published: August 2010

Abstract
Reproductive potentials were compared for a large invasive lady beetle, sevenspotted lady beetle, Coccinella septempunctata L. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), and a set of four smaller native North American species that have been displaced from alfalfa, Medicago sativa L., fields in Utah. The invader rapidly attained predominance in these fields during years when aphid populations were high. In a laboratory experiment, females were provided with excess numbers of their principal prey in these fields, pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris). Among the five species, both the number and total volume of eggs (number × mean egg volume) produced per day increased with increasing female size and were greatest for C. septempunctata. Rates of reproduction also increased with increasing female size within species. Similarly sized females of C. septempunctata and transverse lady beetle, Coccinella transversoguttata richardsoni (Brown), laid similar total volumes of eggs per day, but females of the invasive species had more ovarioles and laid larger numbers of individually smaller eggs. In summary, when feeding on abundant prey in a habitat in which it predominates, the invasive C. septempunctata gains reproductive advantage over native, North American lady beetles, from its large body size and its investment in many small eggs. The results support the generalization that high fecundity linked with large body size may often be one important factor that promotes the dominance of introduced species over native competitors in resource-rich environments.

Published: August 2010

OBJECTIVE
Evaluate use of a web-based shared medical record (SMR) between older patients with diabetes and providers.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This was a retrospective cohort study. Health records and SMR use patterns of 6,185 enrollees aged ≥65 years with diabetes were analyzed from implementation of a SMR in August 2003 through December 2007. We analyzed baseline predictors of age, sex, distance from clinic, socioeconomic status, insulin use, morbidity, and associated primary care provider's (PCP) secure messaging use on patients' initial and subsequent use of the SMR. Changes in morbidity, PCP, or diabetes treatment were evaluated for impact on outcomes.

RESULTS
A total of 32.2% of enrollees used the SMR; median rate was 1.02 user-days/month. Numbers of users and rate of use continued to increase. In adjusted analyses, likelihood of SMR use was associated with younger age, male sex, and higher socioeconomic status neighborhood, as well as clinical characteristics of overall morbidity and assigned PCP's use of secure messaging. Initial SMR use was more likely within 3 months of an increase in morbidity (hazard ratio 1.61, 95% CI 1.28–2.01) and within 1 month of changing to a PCP with higher use (3.02, 1.66–5.51).

CONCLUSIONS
Four years after implementation, one-third of older individuals with diabetes had used the web-based SMR. Higher morbidity predicted initial and continued use of SMR services. Providers' use of the communication feature was associated with higher likelihood of SMR engagement by their patients. Web-based SMRs may be an effective form of non–visit-based health care for older individuals with diabetes.

Published: August 2010

OBJECTIVE
To identify factors that influence survival after diabetes-related amputations.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We abstracted medical records of 1,043 hospitalized subjects with diabetes and a lower-extremity amputation from 1 January to 31 December 1993 in six metropolitan statistical areas in south Texas. We identified mortality in the 10-year period after amputation from death certificate data. Diabetes was verified using World Health Organization criteria. Amputations were identified by ICD-9-CM codes 84.11–84.18 and categorized as foot, below-knee amputation, and above-knee amputation and verified by reviewing medical records. We evaluated three levels of renal function: chronic kidney disease (CKD), hemodialysis, and no renal disease. We defined CKD based on a glomerular filtration rate &lt;60 ml/min and hemodialysis from Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes (90921, 90925, 90935, and 90937). We used χ2 for trend and Cox regression analysis to evaluate risk factors for survival after amputation.

RESULTS
Patients with CKD and dialysis had more below-knee amputations and above-knee amputations than patients with no renal disease (P &lt; 0.01). Survival was significantly higher in patients with no renal impairment (P &lt; 0.01). The Cox regression indicated a 290% increase in hazard for death for dialysis treatment (hazard ratio [HR] 3.9, 95% CI 3.07–5.0) and a 46% increase for CKD (HR 1.46, 95% CI 1.21–1.77). Subjects with an above-knee amputation had a 167% increase in hazard (HR 2.67, 95% CI 2.14–3.34), and below-knee amputation patients had a 67% increase in hazard for death.

CONCLUSIONS
Survival after amputation is lower in diabetic patients with CKD, dialysis, and high-level amputations.

A Synthetic Method for Examination of Potential Reliability and Safety Level Demonstrated by Technical Facilities During Their LifetimeThe paper presents fundamentals for an innovative method that takes advantage of diagnostic information defined with participation of an expert. (presented as a score of points). Defined number of points is assigned to each signal change, depending on the signal value and the moment when the change occurs, whilst the number of points is preliminary defined by an expert. The proposed innovative method consists in the use of signals represented by the scores to determine combined status equations [3, 5] for parameters of the adjustment control state and technical state (equations 3 and 4) and then parameters of reliability and safety (equations 5 and 6). Such an approach enables continuous monitoring of the reliability and safety states of facilities during their lifetime. The presented approach may prove to be extremely useful as it unambiguously presents wear and tear of the facilities and enables to predict when the facilities should be repaired (overhauled).
Tyreoliberin (Trh) – The Regulatory Neuropeptide of Cns Homeostasis
Authors: Jantas Danuta 
Published: August 2010

SummaryThe physiological role of thyreoliberin (TRH) is the preservation of homeostasis within four systems (i) the hypothalamic-hypophsysiotropic neuroendocrine system, (ii) the brain stem/midbrain/spinal cord system, (iii) the limbic/cortical system, and (iv) the chronobiological system. Thus TRH, via various cellular mechanisms, regulates a wide range of biological processes (arousal, sleep, learning, locomotive activity, mood) and possesses the potential for unique and widespread applications for treatment of human illnesses. Since the therapeutic potential of TRH is limited by its pharmacological profile (enzymatic instability, short half-life, undesirable effects), several synthetic analogues of TRH were constructed and studied in mono- or adjunct therapy of central nervous system (CNS) disturbances. The present article summarizes the current state of understanding of the physiological role of TRH and describes its putative role in clinical indications in CNS maladies with a focus on the action of TRH analogues.

Post-magmatic hydrothermal mineralization associated with Cretaceous picrite (Outer Western Carpathians, Czech Republic): interaction between host rock and externally derived fluidMineralogy, fluid inclusions, C, O, S, Sr isotopes and trace elements have been studied in amygdule and vein mineralization hosted by the Lower Cretaceous effusive picrite at Hončova hůrka (Silesian Unit, Flysch Belt of the Outer Western Carpathians). Besides dominating dolomite, magnesite, siderite, quartz, calcite, chlorite, glauconite, fluorite, barite, pyrite and millerite were also identified. The parent fluids are characterized by low temperatures (<50-170°C), low salinities (0.4 to 3.7 wt. % NaCl eq.), low content of strong REE-complexing ligands, δ18O, δ13C and δ34S ranges of 0/+ 14 ‰ SMOW, 0/-9 ‰ PDB and ~0 ‰ CDT, respectively, and initial87Sr/86Sr ratios much more radiogenic (0.7060 to 0.7068) than those of host picrite (0.7042 and 0.7046). The fluids are interpreted to be predominantly of external origin, derived from mixing of seawater with diagenetic waters produced by dewatering of clay minerals in the associated flysch sediments. The isotope and REE signatures indicate interaction of at least a part of fluids with sedimentary carbonates. The interaction of fluids with host picrite led to strong alteration of rock-forming minerals and leaching of some elements (Mg, Ni, S, partly also REE) that widely participated during precipitation of vein- and amygdule-hosted mineral phases.

Published: August 2010

SummaryDemineralised bone matrix (DBM) is commonly used in human orthopaedics as an allograft prepared from cortical bone. As such, there is a background of literature on the basic science, experimental animal studies and clinical human use of DBM. Because canine DBM is now increasingly available and used in veterinary orthopaedics, this review aims to update the veterinary orthopaedic specialist with the properties and activities of this bone allograft product.
Professeurs, maîtres et enseignants à l'époque moderne
Authors: Ribard Dinah 
Published: August 2010

Résumé L’historiographie consacrée au travail intellectuel à l’époque moderne tend à superposer deux lignes narratives : le relevé des signes d’une valorisation progressive du travail s’identifie à la description de mouvements de professionnalisation. Toutes sortes de pratiques sociales qui ne s’inscrivent pas dans des processus de professionnalisation d’activités intellectuelles – par exemple les services rendus par les auteurs dans les sociétés d’Ancien Régime – échappent ainsi à l’analyse. Il en va de même de phénomènes qui sont plutôt de l’ordre de la déprofessionnalisation, de la désorganisation de statuts existants par l’action de différents pouvoirs et politiques. Ainsi, il est finalement peu question dans cette historiographie des professeurs – une profession anciennement et fortement instituée, mais qui résiste mal à des empiètements de tous ordres. De là le choix d’aborder dans cet article la question de l’organisation des professions intellectuelles à l’époque moderne à travers le cas des enseignants.
L'habitus comme objet et méthode d'investigation
Authors: Wacquant Loïc 
Published: August 2010

Résumé Cet article revient sur le cheminement qui m’a conduit à l’enquête de terrain et fait atterrir dans le club de boxe de Chicago qui est la scène et le personnage principal de mon ethnographie du pugilisime dans le ghetto noir américain. Il explicite comment j’ai conçu le livre Corps et âme , premier bilan de cette plongée anthropologique, de sorte à offrir une application méthodologique et une élaboration empirique du concept d’habitus de Pierre Bourdieu. L’habitus est l’objet de l’enquête : le livre dissèque le moulage des dispositions corporelles et mentales qui font le boxeur compétent et appétant dans le creuset de la salle d’entraînement. Mais c’est aussi l’ outil de l’enquête : l’acquisition pratique de ces dispositions par l’analyste sert de véhicule technique pour mieux pénétrer leur production sociale et leur assemblage collectif. L’apprentissage du sociologue est un miroir méthodologique de l’apprentissage subi par les sujets empiriques de l’étude ; le premier est exploité pour creuser le second et ainsi porter au jour sa logique interne et ses propriétés souterraines ; tous deux mettent à l’épreuve la robustesse et la fécondité de l’habitus comme outil pour démonter les ressorts de l’action sociale. Correctement utilisé, le concept ne se contente pas d’éclairer les logiques bigarrées de la pratique ; il fonde aussi les vertus distinctives de l’immersion profonde et de l’enchevêtrement charnel avec l’objet de l’enquête ethnographique.
