Artificial Selection for Developmental Rates in Fall Armyworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Its Implications on the Design of Feeding Studies
Authors: Nagoshi Rodney N 
Published: January 2011

Abstract
The understanding of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), physiology has frequently suffered from discrepancies between different studies. One potential source of error is the assumption that laboratory colonies are sufficiently representative of wild populations that their biological parameters can be generalized. This is unlikely to be valid if the phenotype in question exhibits extensive genetic variation in the natural population, in which case laboratory lines can only be expected to contain a subset of the relevant genotypes. Here, I investigated whether this is a concern for experiments measuring larval developmental rate, a parameter frequently used to assess the relative resistance of different plant lines to fall armyworm herbivory. To estimate the genetic variation in this phenotype a simple selection experiment was performed to determine whether significantly different developmental rates could be isolated from inbred laboratory colonies representing the fall armyworm subgroup (rice-strain) that is the primary pest of pasture grasses. The results indicate that a strong genetic component influences larval development. Therefore, the average larval duration of the test population for a given treatment will depend on its genotypic composition that could vary significantly with different colonies. The implications of these findings on designing and evaluating feeding studies for fall armyworm are discussed.
Temporal and Species Variation in Cold Hardiness Among Invasive Rhizophagous Weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in a Northern Hardwood Forest
Authors: Coyle David R , Duman John G , Raffa Kenneth F 
Published: January 2011

Abstract
A complex of invasive rhizophagous weevils has established in North American northern hardwood forests. Little is known regarding the overwintering biology of these weevils and thus how cold hardiness and weather affect population dynamics. Field data from winter 2006–2007 showed a decline in larval abundance but an increase in larval weight of the surviving individuals. During winter 2008–2009, we examined several aspects of overwintering biology of Phyllobius oblongus (L.), Polydrusus sericeus (Schaller), and Barypeithes pellucidus (Boheman). Larvae were collected in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and transported in bulk field soil to the University of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN, for laboratory assays. Supercooling points (SCPs) of P. oblongus and B. pellucidus larvae not in contact with ice were highest in October and lowest in March, but SCPs of larvae that were in contact with ice did not differ among sampling dates. Larval cold tolerance increased over the winter, with 11% of P. oblongus and 40% of P. sericeus surviving 24 h at -12°C. Few B. pellucidus or P. oblongus survived 30 d at temperatures of -3.3°C or lower. Body water content increased from January to March in P. sericeus and B. pellucidus. Larval hemolymph from all species showed some thermal hysteresis and hexagonal crystal formation, indicative of low levels of antifreeze proteins or glycolipids. These subterranean-dwelling larvae are buffered from ambient winter temperatures, but our data also suggest low levels of freeze avoidance. We discuss how these overwintering strategies may affect adult population dynamics.
Variation of patient characteristics, management, and outcome with timing of surgery for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Authors: Mahaney Kelly B. , Todd Michael M. , Torner James C. 
Published: January 2011

ObjectThe past 30 years have seen a shift in the timing of surgery for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Earlier practices of delayed surgery that were intended to avoid less favorable surgical conditions have been replaced by a trend toward early surgery to minimize the risks associated with rebleeding and vasospasm. Yet, a consensus as to the optimal timing of surgery has not been reached. The authors hypothesized that earlier surgery, performed using contemporary neurosurgical and neuroanesthesia techniques, would be associated with better outcomes when using contemporary management practices, and sought to define the optimal time interval between SAH and surgery.MethodsData collected as part of the Intraoperative Hypothermia for Aneurysm Surgery Trial (IHAST) were analyzed to investigate the relationship between timing of surgery and outcome at 3 months post-SAH. The IHAST enrolled 1001 patients in 30 neurosurgical centers between February 2000 and April 2003. All patients had a radiographically confirmed SAH, were World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Grades I–III at the time of surgery, and underwent surgical clipping of the presumed culprit aneurysm within 14 days of the date of hemorrhage. Patients were seen at 90-day follow-up visits. The primary outcome variable was a Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 1 (good outcome). Intergroup differences in baseline, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were compared using the Fisher exact tests. Variables reported as means were compared with ANOVA. Multiple logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis, adjusting for covariates. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered to be significant.ResultsPatients who underwent surgery on Days 1 or 2 (early) or Days 7–14 (late) (Day 0 = date of SAH) fared better than patients who underwent surgery on Days 3–6 (intermediate). Specifically, the worst outcomes were observed in patients who underwent surgery on Days 3 and 4. Patients who had hydrocephalus or Fisher Grade 3 or 4 on admission head CT scans had better outcomes with early surgery than with intermediate or late surgery.ConclusionsEarly surgery, in good-grade patients within 48 hours of SAH, is associated with better outcomes than surgery performed in the 3- to 6-day posthemorrhage interval. Surgical treatment for aneurysmal SAH may be more hazardous during the 3- to 6-day interval, but this should be weighed against the risk of rebleeding.
A simple method for making a hollow cylindrical polymethylmethacrylate strut for cervical spinal reconstruction
Authors: Chen Jyi-Feng , Lee Shih-Tseng 
Published: January 2011

Object
The purpose of this study was to introduce a method for making a hollow cylindrical polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) strut for perioperative anterior spinal reconstruction after discectomy and/or corpectomy.

Methods
For use after anterior cervical discectomy or corpectomy, the authors created a hollow cylindrical PMMA strut using 10- and 3-ml disposable plastic syringes filled with PMMA containing 10% BaSO4 for anterior spinal reconstruction.

Results
With this method, the authors were able to make a PMMA strut that was approximately 50 mm in length with a 14-mm outer diameter and a 10-mm inner diameter. The PMMA strut could easily be cut with a saw to any desired length and molded with a cutting bur. The PMMA strut was used as a substitute for the cortical bone and was filled with bone graft for cervical spinal reconstruction after discectomy and/or corpectomy. The whole process of making the PMMA strut can be completed within 30 minutes, and it reduces costs by at least $1000 US (in 1-level discectomy), making the procedure cost effective.

Conclusions
It is simple to make a hollow cylindrical PMMA strut with plastic syringes during a discectomy and/or corpectomy. The strut can provide adequate support at less cost than other methods. The hollow cylindrical strut is also of suitable size and length for anterior spinal reconstruction. It serves as an alternative for patients who cannot afford the expense of similar instruments or who cannot or do not want to take the risk of a human graft for anterior spinal reconstruction.
Parafalcine and midline arteriovenous malformations: surgical strategy, techniques, and outcomes
Authors: Kim Yong Bae , Young William L. , Lawton Michael T. 
Published: January 2011

Object
Parafalcine arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) have a midline plane in common, but differ in their location (anterior, middle, or posterior) and depth (superficial or deep). Surgical management varies with AVM location and depth in terms of patient position, head position, craniotomy, and surgical approach. This study examined surgical strategies, patient outcomes, and regional factors influencing results.

Methods
Patients with AVMs located on the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere were identified retrospectively from a consecutive, single-neurosurgeon series that is registered prospectively as part of the UCSF Brain Arteriovenous Malformation Study Project. During a 12-year period, 443 patients with AVMs were treated surgically. Of these 443 patients, 132 (30%) had parafalcine AVMs, which were distributed in zones as follows: superficial-anterior, 25 (18.9%); superficial-middle, 26 (19.7%); superficial-posterior, 39 (29.5%); deep-anterior, 25 (18.9%); deep-posterior, 17 (12.9%). Five different surgical strategies were used depending on AVM zone.

Results
Complete AVM resection was achieved in 123 (93.2%) of 132 patients. Overall, neurological condition improved in 74 patients (56.1%) and remained unchanged in 41 patients (31.1%). Neurological condition deteriorated in 12 patients (9.1%), and 5 patients (3.8%) died. Patients with AVMs in the superficial-middle zone had the highest rate of neurological deterioration (26.9%).

Conclusions
Parafalcine AVMs lie on a midline surface that, when exposed with a bilateral craniotomy across the superior sagittal sinus and a wide opening of the interhemispheric fissure, makes them superficial. However, unlike convexity AVMs, which are approached perpendicularly, parafalcine AVMs are approached tangentially. Gravity retraction is useful with deeply located AVMs (those in the deep-anterior and deep-posterior zones), because it widens the interhemispheric fissure and accesses deep arterial feeding vessels from the anterior and posterior cerebral arteries. Surgical risks were increased in the superficial-middle zone, which is likely explained by the proximity of sensorimotor cortex. The authors' regional classification of parafalcine AVMs may serve as a guide to surgical planning.
Glacier Erosion and Sedimentation in the Volcanic Regions of Kamchatka
Authors: Vinogradov V.N. 
Published: January 2011

The recent topography of Kamchatka was formed by the joint activity of endogenic and exogenic processes among which glacial erosion and sedimentation played the most important role. Glacial erosion is exhibited to different degrees on old and young mountains. Corrie and corrie-valley glaciers are common to the oldest and strongly eroded early Pleistocene volcanoes. The flanks of Holocene volcanoes are only s1ightly affected by exogenic processes. As a result, ice caps and ice belts as well as crater glaciers are developed on them.During earlier glaciations, the influence of volcanism on glaciers and frozen strata caused the specific conditions for sub-ice eruptions, as a result of which strata of welded tuffs and pumices, and thick strata of fragmented material were formed. Recent and older glaciers in regions of active volcanism are covered by large amounts of pyroclastic material. During intense melting of glacier ice in these regions, thick fields of morainic deposits were formed. Similar conditions are found in Iceland, as describeo by (Thorarinsson 1958, Thorarinsson 1974), among others.
Depositional Landforming Processes at the Snouts of Five Surging Glaciers in Vestspitsbergen (Abstract only)
Authors: Croot D. G. 
Published: January 2011

Recent work by Clapperton (1975) proposes that the rapid rates of advance experienced by glaciers which surge may lead to enhanced debris incorporation, increased compressive flow near the glacier snout at the point of maximum extension, and to the upward translation and vertical stacking of debris near the glacier snout and margin. Five glaciers in Spitsbergen (Battyebreen, Holmströmbreen, Lisbetbreen, Vonbreen, Elnabreen) display morphological features which are widely accepted as being diagnostic of surging glaciers.Results of detailed observations regarding the nature, distribution, melt-out, and reworking of englacial debris at Battyebreen are presented. Basally derived till is brought to the surface of the glacier in narrow lateral and terminal belts, no more than 100 m wide. Within this zone, (i.e. up-valley from the snout and towards the valley centre) the ice is debris-free with the exception of small amounts of en-glacial debris which form the core of lobate medial moraines. Differential ablation of debris-free and debris-rich ice leads to the production of a topographic basin within which melt-out and reworking processes occupy restricted locations, as follows. Immediately inside the encircling melt-out till, a zone of flow tills is found. Melt streams are located at the foot of, the flow till-mantled slope, producing narrow (150 m wide) outwash trains, which merge into deltas. The central area of the topographic basin is occupied by a supraglacial lake.Observations of the remaining four locations confirm that other glaciers in the vicinity, which display similar characteristics associated with surging, are developing a stagnant-ice zone of identical appearance. The pattern of processes observed at Battyebreen is thus repeated at each site.A simple model of depositional landscape development is proposed for surging valley glaciers in a sub-polar environment.

Wanda Wolska-Conus, Les commentaires de Stéphanos d'Athènes au Prognostikon et aux Aphorismes d'Hippocrate : de Galien à la pratique scolaire alexandrine. — L'auteur se propose un triple objet : 1) présenter une première analyse de l'œuvre médicale de Stéphanos d'Athènes, restée jusqu'à présent en dehors de toute exploration systématique; 2) la replacer dans le contexte du milieu culturel de l'Alexandrie du 6e et, du début du 7e siècle; 3) suivre l'évolution de la technique du commentaire à une œuvre scientifique, en comparant les positions respectives de Galien et de Stéphanos. Conçu suivant les normes propres aux écoles d'Alexandrie sous la forme d'une praxis (leçon ou cours), répartie entre une théôria (exposé théorique) et une lexis (explication du texte), le commentaire de Stéphanos réunit des éléments rigoureusement dissociés par Galien : une pragmateia (traité technique), destinée aux médecins praticiens, et l'hypomnèma (commentaire-explication du texte), composé à l'intention du public cultivé épris de l'Antiquité. Poussant plus loin encore ses préoccupations didactiques, Stéphanos transforme d'une part (surtout dans son commentaire du Prognostikon) ses théôriai en de véritables petits traités techniques, pour ménager une transition entre la science contemporaine et, les doctrines d'Hippocrate ; il propose d'autre part toute une série de règles exégétiques (en grande partie empruntées à Galien), qui permettent à ses jeunes étudiants d'accéder aux textes anciens, souvent ambigus.

Annaclara Cataldi Palau, L'Arsenale Sacro di Andronico Camatero. Il proemio ed il dialogo dell' imperatore con i cardinali latini : originale, imilazioni, arrangiamenti. — Il presente articolo studia l'Arsenale Sacro, opera inedita di Andronico Camatero, e la sua utilizzazione da parte di altri autori bizantini contemporanei ο di poco posteriori. L'autrice ha trovato alcune parti di questo testo (il proemio ed il dialogo ira l' imperatore ed i cardinali latini) in un manoscritto genovese, Urbani 32, sotto il nome di Niceforo Blernmide ed unite ad un suo testo, e sotto il nome di Teodoro Lascari. Dopo aver esaminato unο dei due rnanoscritti che contengono l' Arsenale Sacro completo, Monac. gr. 229, l'autrice ha constatato inoltre che il testo di un dialogo di Nicola Mesarite datato 1213/1214, fino ad ora ritenuto in grau parte originale, anche se ispirato nelle grandi linee dalle idee di Andronico Camatero, contiene quasi per intero il Dialogo Ira l' imperatore ed i cardinali latini dell' Arsenale Sacro, fedelmente trascritto. Il valore storico attribuito al dialogo di Mesarite deve dunque essere molto ridimensionato. Segue un abbozzo di analisi della tradizione manoscritta dell' Arsenale Sacro.
