AbstractBackground  The purpose of this study is to better characterize the hematological, biochemical, respiratory, cardiovascular and electroneurophysiological parameters in young adult Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus of both sexes. The rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys are widely used as experimental primate models. However, only few articles have been published testing toxicological effects of pharmaceuticals on African green monkey.Methods  The present study was carried out with the recompilation of all parameters recorded before the first drug administration in five sub‐chronic or chronic toxicological studies performed on 66 Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus, born in Cuba.Results  This study provides hematological, biochemical, respiratory, cardiovascular and electroneurophysiological data for both choosing animals to be included into experiments and monitoring these parameters during the study.Conclusions  We conclude that this study provides valuable integrated data for determining the health status, including electroneurophysiological parameters, data not previously reported for this species, of the African green monkey.

The efficacy of direct tissue fluorescence visualization in screening for oral premalignant lesions in general practice.Abstract:  Objective:  The aim of this communication is to revise papers published on autofluorescence imaging, a non‐invasive technique that is used to identify neoplastic oral cavity lesions.Methods:  A literature search was performed, using the PubMed database and the key words ‘autofluorescence’ and ‘Velscope’, limiting the search to papers in English or Spanish published from 2002 to June 2009.Results:  The Velscope® system has a sensitivity of 98–100% and specificity of 94–100%. Autofluoresence is a supplementary tool used in the diagnosis of oral cancer, although other more reliable and robust studies are needed for confirmation.Conclusions:  There is insufficient evidence to demonstrate that its use as an adjunct to conventional oral screening provides additional benefit to conventional oral cancer screening alone.
Effects of Pilot Hole Size and Bone Density on Miniscrew Implants' Stability

Published: March 2010

ABSTRACTProblem: How does pilot hole size and bone density affect the primary stability of miniscrew implants (MSIs)?Methods: Using 120 MSIs divided equally into six groups, this 2 × 3 factorial design evaluated the effects of synthetic bone density (0.64 g/cc vs 0.8 g/cc cortices) and pilot hole size (no pilot hole, 1.0 mm pilot hole, and 1.4 mm pilot hole) on maximum insertion torque and pullout strength. The maximum placement torque was measured as the last thread of the MSIs was inserted. The pullout strength test applied a vertical force at 10 mm/min until failure.Results: The insertion torque and pullout strength values were significantly (p ≤ .05) greater for the MSIs placed in high‐density than in low‐density cortical bone. The insertion torque and pullout strength decreased as pilot hole size increased, with significant (p ≤ .05) differences between all three subgroups. Insertion torque and pullout strength were significantly intercorrelated for all subgroupings, with stronger correlations in denser bone having smaller or no pilot holes.Conclusion: Depending on bone density, pilot holes of limited size can be used to optimize primary stability by decreasing insertion torque while maintaining the pullout strength of bone.
Abiotic and Biotic Stresses and Changes in the Lignin Content and Composition in Plants
Authors: Moura Jullyana Cristina Magalhães Silva , Bonine Cesar Augusto Valencise , De Oliveira Fernandes Viana Juliana , Dornelas Marcelo Carnier , Mazzafera Paulo 
Published: March 2010

Abstract Lignin is a polymer of phenylpropanoid compounds formed through a complex biosynthesis route, represented by a metabolic grid for which most of the genes involved have been sequenced in several plants, mainly in the model‐plants Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus. Plants are exposed to different stresses, which may change lignin content and composition. In many cases, particularly for plant‐microbe interactions, this has been suggested as defence responses of plants to the stress. Thus, understanding how a stressor modulates expression of the genes related with lignin biosynthesis may allow us to develop study‐models to increase our knowledge on the metabolic control of lignin deposition in the cell wall. This review focuses on recent literature reporting on the main types of abiotic and biotic stresses that alter the biosynthesis of lignin in plants.
Osseointegration of Ti implants in buccal alveolar bone defect filled with bioactive glasses in dog mandible
Authors: De Oliveira Jabur R. , Trivellato A.E. , Peitl O. , Da Rocha Barros V.M. 
Published: March 2010

AbstractAim:  The aim of the present study was to investigate the amount of bone formation on titanium (Ti) implants in sites subjected to buccal alveolar crest defects and filled with different bone substitutes.Materials and methods:  Mandibular premolars and first molars were extracted from five dogs. After 12 weeks, three implants (Neodent®, implant size: 3.75 × 9.0 mm, Curitiba, PR, Brazil) were bilaterally placed (total of 30 implants) in sites with buccal alveolar bone defects (length 45 mm, height 6 mm depth, 4 mm) created in the mandible. Each implantation site was randomly treated with Biosilicate (novel highly bioactive glass‐ceramic), Bioglass 45S5 (Biogran®, Implant Innovations, Barcelona, Spain), autogenous bone or no treatment. At 18 weeks after implantation, the hemi‐mandibles containing the implants were removed and processed for ground sections aiming to histological and histometric [bone‐implant contact (BIC), mineralised bone matrix between implant threads (BA) and bone matrix within mirror area (BMA)] analysis. Data were subjected to non‐parametric Kruskal–Wallis test.Results:  The percentage of BIC, BA and mineralised BMA in the treated or non‐treated sites were not statistically different among the four experimental groups.Conclusion:  These results indicate that the presence of the bone substitutes evaluated did not promote bone formation on Ti implants surface. In addition, tissue response to Biosilicate was similar to that of Bioglass 45S5 and autogenous bone.
A PROPOSAL FOR A LEXICON TO EURIPIDES
Authors: Collard C. 
Published: March 2010

Abstract
I have to begin by thanking the Editors for giving space to a paper of this kind, which deliberately invites criticism and may, if sufficiently ill-received, turn out to be an obituary rather than a prospectus. I think I have convinced myself of the need for a Lexicon to Euripides, and my informal soundings of fellow tragedians have been, by and large, encouraging. If I here try to demonstrate the need, I am not yet clear about the form the Lexicon should take; I invite criticism particularly of the proposals advanced in §§ II and III.
THE ATTIC PHORMISKOS: PROBLEMS OF ORIGIN AND FUNCTION
Authors: HATZIVASSILIOU ELENI 
Published: March 2010

AbstractThe origin, function, and nomenclature of the Attic pear-shaped black-figured vases broadly referred to as ‘Attic phormiskoi’ are matters of continuing scholarly dispute. This paper addresses these issues through a consideration of both the literary and iconographical evidence for ‘phormiskoi’ as cloth, leather, or net-bags containing astragals, and the shape and decoration of the vases themselves. In the past, scholars have emphasized the shape of Attic phormiskoi in seeking to understand their function; their figure decoration has not previously attracted scholarly attention, other than to cite its funerary character as an indicator of the purpose of the vases. This paper demonstrates that the iconography of Attic phormiskoi can prove illuminating.
THE BABY AS HERO? THE ROLE OF THE INFANT IN MENANDER
Authors: HEAP ANGELA M. 
Published: March 2010

AbstractBabies are prominent in Menander to a degree that is unusual in ancient drama. It is clear from the fact that they entered the iconography that the scenes in which they appear were memorable for the audience. Babies provide, by their actual presence on stage, or by means of reactions to their existence, powerful reminders of such important themes as Athenian male anxieties about illegitimacy or the dangers that might pose a threat to one's freeborn status and privileges. They also provide the means of creating, at one end of the spectrum, pathos, and, at the other end, farce. Whether on stage, or off stage, or as the subject of dialogue and monologue, they constitute a coherent link in the action. Most importantly, however, in Samia and Epitrepontes, at least, they act as a touchstone for the characterization.
CLASSICAL POTTERY FROM ANCIENT CORINTH THE A. D. TRENDALL MEMORIAL LECTURE 2003
Authors: MCPHEE IAN 
Published: March 2010

Abstract
This paper examines certain aspects of ceramic production in Corinth during the second half of the 5th and the 4th centuries BCE, mainly based upon the pottery found in a single deposit, Drain 1971–1. The introduction of the red-figure technique, and of shapes such as the stemless bell-krater and the krater of Falaieff type is considered; and the development of the Corinth oinochoe briefly outlined. The re-introduction of new decorative techniques and the development of new shapes show the continuing inventiveness of Corinthian potters in the Classical period, particularly with regard to utilitarian pottery. Changes in sympotic pottery and in drinking habits in the middle and third quarter of the 5th century, and again in the late 4th and early 3rd century, are suggested.
CALLIMACHUS' HYMN TO ARTEMIS AND THE TRADITION OF RHAPSODIC HYMN
Authors: FAIN G. L. 
Published: March 2010

Abstract
Callimachus' Hymns were written in the tradition of the rhapsodic Homeric Hymns and make constant, though usually oblique and often amusing, reference to these archaic poems. This allusion is particularly extensive in the Hymn to Artemis, the only Callimachus Hymn to proceed like most longer Homeric Hymns, with brief introduction and prolonged narration. Then, just as the poem seems to end, it begins anew, not once but over and over again. The middle of the poem is clearly based on the Homeric Hymn to Apollo, which also begins anew at the Delian/Pythian transition. The correspondences are so great that Callimachus must have had this poem in much the form we do. The choice of the Apollo Hymn as model reflects the theme of sibling rivalry that pervades the Artemis Hymn: even in her own poem, Artemis can't escape the influence of her brother.
ARISTOTLE ON COLOUR, LIGHT AND IMPERCEPTIBLES
Authors: SORABJI RICHARD 
Published: March 2010

Abstract
Aristotle On Sense Perception 3, 6, and 7 explains the nature of light and of the borrowed colour of the sea. These need distinguishing from each other and from non-borrowed colour. Aristotle also allows imperceptible sounds and changes of pitch, yet denies imperceptible times. Why? I suggest that the discussion of imperceptible change of pitch is the target attacked in Theophrastus' account of singing. The theory of imperceptible times attacked seems unexpectedly elaborate, and I suggest it is a version of one found in the pseudo-Aristotelian de Audibilibus.
GREEK DRAMA: IMAGE AND AUDIENCE(S) THE T. B. L. WEBSTER MEMORIAL LECTURE 2003
Authors: DAVIDSON JOHN 
Published: March 2010

Abstract
This paper considers some of the ways in which Greek drama might be said to have been advertised and marketed, and also the processes by which its image, both directly and indirectly, has been developed, promoted, and preserved. Consideration is also given to the different types of audiences which have viewed Greek drama, both as a theatrical phenomenon, and also through the lens of pictorial images. In particular, an attempt is made to build up some kind of profile of fifth- and fourth-century audiences, seen as collections of individual spectators, rather than in terms of general concepts such as ‘Athenians’ or ‘male citizens’.
SEXUAL AMBIGUITY AND THE IDENTITY OF THE NARRATOR IN CALLIMACHUS‘HYMN TO ATHENA
Authors: MORRISON A. D. 
Published: March 2010

Abstract
This paper re-examines the narratorial voice in Callimachus' ‘mimetic’ Hymn to Athena and argues that we should see it as complex and experimental (cf. the voices of his hymns to Zeus and Apollo). The portrayal of a narrator whose sex is ambiguous (with some elements pointing to a female celebrant as the narrator, others to a male scholar-poet) is in fact closely connected to the subject-matter of the myth which the narrator tells — the blinding of Teiresias for seeing Athena bathing naked, characters who are themselves sexually ambiguous. The nature and function of this myth, and its portrayal of Athena, raise important questions about the representation of the gods, for example in poetry, and about Hellenistic attitudes to the divine.
IMPLICATIONS OF THE NEW ALEXANDER OF APHRODISIAS INSCRIPTION
Authors: SHARPLES R. W. 
Published: March 2010

Abstract
The new inscription dedicated to his father by the Aristotelian commentator Alexander of Aphrodisias does not help us in establishing his dates more precisely. It does, however, show conclusively for the first time that his post was at Athens, and strongly suggests that at the end of the second century AD the term diadokhos ‘successor’ was applied to the imperially appointed holders of the chairs of philosophy at Athens. It also provides us with a possible candidate for the authorship of works attributed to Alexander of Aphrodisias but not apparently by him, notably On fevers.
VALERIUS ANTIAS AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROMAN PAST
Authors: RICH JOHN 
Published: March 2010

Abstract
This paper offers a reconsideration of the date of composition, structure and character of the history of Valerius Antias. Ancient testimony establishes c. 80–60 BC as the date of composition, and attested book numbers show that the bulk of the work was devoted to the recent past. Antias did invent freely, but the extent of his inventions may not have been as great as commonly supposed. He also carried out archival research, particularly in the record of senatorial decrees, and for the Middle Republic used this material to construct an annual framework for his narrative. As a result, Antias' history had greater amplitude of treatment than those of his predecessors, which accounts for the extent of Livy's debt to him.
Multiplex Nested PCR for Detection ofXanthomonas axonopodispv. allii from Onion Seeds
Authors: Robène-Soustrade Isabelle , Legrand Delphine , Gagnevin Lionel , Chiroleu Frédéric , Laurent Annie , Pruvost Olivier 
Published: March 2010

ABSTRACTBacterial blight of onion (BBO) is an emerging disease that is present in many onion-producing areas. The causal agent,Xanthomonas axonopodispv. allii, is seed transmitted. A reliable and sensitive diagnostic tool for testing seed health is needed. Detection ofX. axonopodispv. allii was achieved using a multiplex nested PCR assay developed using two randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) sequences corresponding to pilus assembly genes (pilWandpilX) and theavrRxvgene, respectively. The multiplex nested PCR was used with a large collection ofX. axonopodispv. allii strains pathogenic to onion and/or otherAlliumspecies isolated in different regions of the world. The internal primers used in the multiplex PCR assay directed amplification for all 86X. axonopodispv. allii strains tested, resulting in a 401-bp amplicon, a 444- to 447-bp amplicon, or both amplicons, depending on the strain. No amplification was obtained for 41 unrelated phytopathogenic bacteria and for 14 saprophytic bacteria commonly isolated from onion leaves and seeds. MostXanthomonasstrains also did not produce amplicons, except for nine strains classified inX. axonopodisgenetic subgroup 9.1 or 9.2 and not pathogenic to onion. Nevertheless, sequence signatures distinguished most of these strains fromX. axonopodispv. allii. The assay detectedX. axonopodispv. allii in seed lots with contamination levels of 5 × 102CFU g−1or higher. The sensitivity threshold of the multiplex nested PCR assay was found to be 1 infected seed in 27,340 seeds. This PCR-based assay should be useful for certifying that commercial seed lots are free of this important seed-borne pathogen.

Phylogeny of Gammaproteobacteria

Published: March 2010

ABSTRACT

The phylogeny of the large bacterial class
Gammaproteobacteria
has been difficult to resolve. Here we apply a telescoping multiprotein approach to the problem for 104 diverse gammaproteobacterial genomes, based on a set of 356 protein families for the whole class and even larger sets for each of four cohesive subregions of the tree. Although the deepest divergences were resistant to full resolution, some surprising patterns were strongly supported. A representative of the
Acidithiobacillales
routinely appeared among the outgroup members, suggesting that in conflict with rRNA-based phylogenies this order does not belong to
Gammaproteobacteria
; instead, it (and, independently, “
Mariprofundus
”) diverged after the establishment of the
Alphaproteobacteria
yet before the betaproteobacteria/gammaproteobacteria split. None of the orders
Alteromonadales
,
Pseudomonadales
, or
Oceanospirillales
were monophyletic; we obtained strong support for clades that contain some but exclude other members of all three orders. Extreme amino acid bias in the highly A+T-rich genome of
Ca
ndidatus
Carsonella prevented its reliable placement within
Gammaproteobacteria
, and high bias caused artifacts that limited the resolution of the relationships of other insect endosymbionts, which appear to have had multiple origins, although the unbiased genome of the endosymbiont
Sodalis
acted as an attractor for them. Instability was observed for the root of the
Enterobacteriales
, with nearly equal subsets of the protein families favoring one or the other of two alternative root positions; the nematode symbiont
Photorhabdus
was identified as a disruptor whose omission helped stabilize the
Enterobacteriales
root.
Timing of aneurysm surgery: the International Cooperative Study revisited in the era of endovascular coiling
Authors: Lawson Matthew F , Chi Yueh-Yun , Velat Gregory J , Mocco J D , Hoh Brian L 
Published: March 2010

ObjectiveThe International Cooperative Study on the Timing of Aneurysm Surgery demonstrated that subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients who underwent surgery on post-hemorrhage days 4–10 had worse outcomes than patients treated on days 0–3 and days 11–14. Based on these findings, it was concluded that patients who present with SAH on days 4–10 should have aneurysm surgery delayed until after day 10. Since the study, coiling has become a treatment option and it is unclear whether these results apply to this new treatment modality. Our institution is a regional referral center for SAH, and patients are transferred at different time points after hemorrhage. We wanted to determine whether patients that arrive on days 4–10 were safe to undergo coiling immediately rather than waiting until after day 10.MethodsWe reviewed 119 consecutive SAH patients who underwent coiling between January 2006 and June 2008. Factors of age, gender, Hunt–Hess grade, Fisher score, aneurysm size and aneurysm location were included in a regression analysis to determine the effect of day of coiling on clinical outcome at discharge.ResultsOf 119 study patients, 86% had coiling on post-hemorrhage days 0–3, and 12% on days 4–10. Patients in these cohorts did not differ in any demographic factors. Age and Hunt–Hess grade were the only predictors of mortality (age p=0.0001, Hunt–Hess p=0.0110) and poor outcome, defined as death or discharge to a skilled nursing facility (age p=0.0001, Hunt–Hess p=0.0001). Day of coiling had no effect on mortality (p=0.5731) or poor outcome (p=0.1861).ConclusionsCoiling of ruptured aneurysms can be performed safely on patients who arrive on post-hemorrhage days 4–10, and treatment need not be delayed after day 10, as the results of the Timing of Aneurysm Surgery Study initially suggested.
An Evaluation of the Distribution of Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS)
Authors: Horel John D. , Dong Xia 
Published: March 2010

Abstract
This study estimates whether surface observations of temperature, moisture, and wind at some stations in the continental United States are less critical than others for specifying weather conditions in the vicinity of those stations. Two-dimensional variational analyses of temperature, relative humidity, and wind were created for selected midday hours during summer 2008. This set of 8925 control analyses was derived from 5-km-resolution background fields and Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) and National Weather Service (NWS) observations within roughly 4° × 4° latitude–longitude domains. Over 570 000 cross-validation experiments were completed to assess the impact of removing each RAWS and NWS station. The presence of observational assets within relatively close proximity to one another is relatively common. The sensitivity to removing temperature, relative humidity, or wind observations varies regionally and depends on the complexity of the surrounding terrain and the representativeness of the observations. Cost savings for the national RAWS program by removing a few stations may be possible. However, nearly all regions of the country remain undersampled, especially mountainous regions of the western United States frequently affected by wildfires.
