Opopaea suspecta

description: Opopaea suspecta n. sp. (Figs. 55-58) Types: Holotype female from Praslin, Vallée de Mai, 19.03.2002, J. Gerlach leg. (MZT AA 2.298). Etymology: Named as suspecta because it is not clear that the species is truly a member of the genus Opopaea. Diagnosis: Female (male unknown) of O. suspecta can be recognized by having thick, erect hairs on palpal tibia and behind the epigastric furrow a round depression with a short, spiny extension at its middle. Figs. 55-58. Opopaea suspecta n. sp. 55: Epigastric area of female. 56: Abdomen ventrally. 57: Carapace dorsally. 58: Right palp latererally. Scale=0.2 mm. Orig. Description: Female (male unknown). Medium-sized (TL = 1.61,CL = 0.71), completely chitinized species. Cephalothorax and abdomen brown, legs pale yellowish. Carapace dorsally smooth, sides with numerous longitudinal striae. Four long hairs on clypeus; on either sides of the upper surface of carapace some ten hairs in irregular rows and ten in a transverse row on posterior part ofcarapace. Eyes almost equal in size. Apical half of tarsus with numerous, erect thick hairs; similarly thickened hairs also on other palpal segments and legs. Operculae small, slit-like. Dorsolateral petiolar tube comers with triangular lobes opposed with boomerang-shaped ridges o n epigastric scutum. Hairs on anal ring conspicuously thickened. On posterior side of epigastric furrow a light, round depression with dark, claw-like median elevation. Discussion: This species is assigned to Opopaea with some hesitation. The structure on the posterior side of epigastric furrow resembles that of Opopaea silhouettei (Benoit, 1979) and also the triangular lobes on petiolar tube are typical for the genus Opopaea. On the other hand, the form of operculae, presence ofthickened hairs and large size are all typical of Lisna trichinalis (Benoit, 1979). Finding the male is essential for the proper generic placement of the species.

title: The Media, the International Public Sphere, and the Killing of Street Children in Brazil
Creators: name: Serra, Sonia de Alencar
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 1999

description: From the mid 1980s, killings of poor youths by the police and death squads escalated in Brazil. Nevertheless, these did not provoke public outrage, as protests against the murders were silenced by primary definitions, provided mainly by the police and the courts. These justified the killings by emphasizing the criminal behaviour of the youths. They were in tum reproduced by the press, which drew on cultural and social prejudices against 'street children'. With the transition to democracy in 1985, the national movement of street children was organized with the support of UNICEF and the Catholic Church. The movement campaigned against the killings, and also for changes in policies - something that was deeply opposed by law and order sectors. In the early 1990s, the 'killing of street children' in Brazil became a prominent issue both nationally and internationally, particularly following Amnesty International's sponsorship of the campaign. As a result, a new statute reflecting the proposals of the movement was enacted, and a Commission of Inquiry was set up in Congress to investigate the killings. This thesis examines the media in relation to the development of this campaign. It analyses how the killing of street children and the moves to protect them were reported in the Brazilian press. It considers what influenced this reporting, and what resulted from this. In particular, it seeks to document how a campaign initiated in Brazil was taken up by the international media and how this, in turn, influenced Brazilian politics. In short, it seeks to shed new light on the emergence of the international public sphere, a subject widely discussed but little investigated.

description: We consider the problem of max-min fairness for uplink cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) subject to per-user power constraints. The standard framework for solving the considered problem is to separately solve two subproblems: the receiver filter coefficient design and the power control problem. While the former has a closed-form solution, the latter has been solved using either second-order methods of high computational complexity or a first-order method that provides an approximate solution. To deal with these drawbacks of the existing methods, we propose a mirror prox based method for the power control problem by equivalently reformulating it as a convex-concave problem and applying the mirror prox algorithm to find a saddle point. The simulation results establish the optimality of the proposed solution and demonstrate that it is more efficient than the known methods. We also conclude that for large-scale cell-free massive MIMO, joint optimization of linear receive combining and power control provides significantly better user fairness than the power control only scheme in which receiver coefficients are fixed to unity.

description: As smartphones are widely adopted, mobile applications (apps) are emerging to provide critical services such as food delivery and telemedicine. While bring convenience to everyday life, this trend may create barriers for older adults who tend to be less tech-savvy than young people. In-person or screen sharing support is helpful but limited by the help-givers' availability. Video tutorials can be useful but require users to switch contexts between watching the tutorial and performing the corresponding actions in the app, which is cumbersome to do on a mobile phone. Although interactive tutorials have been shown to be promising, none was designed for older adults. Furthermore, the trial-and-error approach has been shown to be beneficial for older adults, but they often lack support to use the approach. Inspired by both interactive tutorials and trial-and-error approach, we designed an app-independent mobile service, \textit{Synapse}, for help-givers to create a multimodal interactive tutorial on a smartphone and for help-receivers (e.g., older adults) to receive interactive guidance with trial-and-error support when they work on the same task. We conducted a user study with 18 older adults who were 60 and over. Our quantitative and qualitative results show that Synapse provided better support than the traditional video approach and enabled participants to feel more confident and motivated. Lastly, we present further design considerations to better support older adults with trial-and-error on smartphones.

description: In mandibular deficient patients, mandibular growth is not expected after the adolescent growth spurt, so mandibular advancement surgery is often carried out at 13 years. To test if the long-term stability for younger patients is similar to that for adult patients, the authors compared cephalometric changes from 1 year postsurgery (when changes due to the surgery should be completed) to 5 year follow up. 32 patients who had early mandibular advancement with or without simultaneous maxillary surgery (aged up to 16 for girls and 18 for boys), and 52 patients with similar surgery at older ages were studied. Beyond 1 year postsurgery, the younger patients showed significantly greater change in the horizontal and vertical position of points B and pogonion, the horizontal (but not vertical) position of gonion, and mandibular plane angle. 50% of younger patients had 2–4 mm backward movement of Pg and another 25% had >4 mm. 15% of older patients had 2–4 mm change and none had >4 mm. Long-term changes in younger patients who had 2-jaw surgery were greater than for mandibular advancement only. Changes in younger groups were greater than for adult groups. Satisfaction with treatment and perception of problems were similar for both groups.

description: Internet of Things (IoT) devices are becoming increasingly ubiquitous, e.g., at home, in enterprise environments, and in production lines. To support the advanced functionalities of IoT devices, IoT vendors as well as service and cloud companies operate IoT backends -- the focus of this paper. We propose a methodology to identify and locate them by (a) compiling a list of domains used exclusively by major IoT backend providers and (b) then identifying their server IP addresses. We rely on multiple sources, including IoT backend provider documentation, passive DNS data, and active scanning. For analyzing IoT traffic patterns, we rely on passive network flows from a major European ISP. Our analysis focuses on the top IoT backends and unveils diverse operational strategies -- from operating their own infrastructure to utilizing the public cloud. We find that the majority of the top IoT backend providers are located in multiple locations and countries. Still, a handful are located only in one country, which could raise regulatory scrutiny as the client IoT devices are located in other regions. Indeed, our analysis shows that up to 35% of IoT traffic is exchanged with IoT backend servers located in other continents. We also find that at least six of the top IoT backends rely on other IoT backend providers. We also evaluate if cascading effects among the IoT backend providers are possible in the event of an outage, a misconfiguration, or an attack.
title: Women's Occupational Choice and Entry into Male-Dominated Occupations
Creators: name: Clement, Sarah
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 1990

description: The research presented here is in investigation into women s occupational choice with specific reference to women in male-dominated occupations. Three main research areas are reviewed and evaluated : theories of occupational choice in general; theories of women's occupational choice; and theories pertaining to women's choice of and experiences in male-dominated occupations. An exploratory study was carried out into the gender-dominant occupational preferences of female and male students, using the theoretical framework of Bandura's self-efficacy theory. The main finding of this Study was that self-efficacy expectations do not play a large part in explaining women's and men’s preference for gender-typical occupations and reluctance to consider gender-atypical occupations. The main study takes a more global approach and investigates a large number of possible psychological and social determinants of women's occupational choice and entry into male-dominated occupations. The subjects in this piece of research were women employed in three types of male-dominated occupation : manual, non-manual; and transitional (occupations that are changing from male-domination to gender-neutrality). A group of women in non-manual female-dominated occupations was also included as a control group. The subjects participated in individual, semi-structured interviews and completed three questionnaires. The resulting data was subjected to both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Many diverse elements were found to influence women’s occupational choice. Differences between women in different types of male-dominated occupation, In the antecedents to their entry into a male-dominated job and in then- experiences at work, are discussed. A model representing women's occupational choice, with particular reference to women in male-dominated occupations, is proposed. Next the factors determining women's experiences in male-dominated areas of work are delineated. Finally suggestions for future research are put forward, and conclusions are drawn.

description: Polarized dust emission is a key tracer in the study of interstellar medium and of star formation. The observed polarization, however, is a product of magnetic field structure, dust grain properties and grain alignment efficiency, as well as their variations in the line of sight, making it difficult to interpret polarization unambiguously. The comparison of polarimetry at multiple wavelengths is a possible way of mitigating this problem. We use data from HAWC+/SOFIA and from SCUBA-2/POL-2 (from the BISTRO survey) to analyse the NGC 2071 molecular cloud at 154, 214 and 850 $μ$m. The polarization angle changes significantly with wavelength over part of NGC 2071, suggesting a change in magnetic field morphology on the line of sight as each wavelength best traces different dust populations. Other possible explanations are the existence of more than one polarization mechanism in the cloud or scattering from very large grains. The observed change of polarization fraction with wavelength, and the 214-to-154 $μ$m polarization ratio in particular, are difficult to reproduce with current dust models under the assumption of uniform alignment efficiency. We also show that the standard procedure of using monochromatic intensity as a proxy for column density may produce spurious results at HAWC+ wavelengths. Using both long-wavelength (POL-2, 850 $μ$m) and short-wavelength (HAWC+, $\lesssim 200\, μ$m) polarimetry is key in obtaining these results. This study clearly shows the importance of multi-wavelength polarimetry at submillimeter bands to understand the dust properties of molecular clouds and the relationship between magnetic field and star formation.

Etymology: Named for Mr. Terence Vel, who collected invertebrates as a technician on the BLS “Management of Avian Ecosystems Project” in 1999-2001. Diagnosis: L. veli n. sp. resembles L. sechellensis Benoit, 1979 in having 4 prolateral and no retrolateral spines on the first femur. It differs in having a smooth carapace (finely but distinctly granulated in L. sechellensis ). Also the embolus of L. veli is much shorter than that of L. sechellensis resembling more that of L. praslinensis (Benoit, 1979) or L. mahensis (Benoit, 1979) which have different spine formulae. Description: Female slightly larger than male; TL = 1.71-1.79, CL = 0.82, CW = 0.71, DSL = 0.71-0.75, DSW = 0.46-0.50. Cephalothorax light yellow-brown, abdominal scuta brownish, legs yellowish. Cephalothorax smooth, abdominal scutum likewise, well covered with short, suberect hairs. Fe I with four prolateral spines, no retrolateral ones. Embolus relatively long, U-shaped, with a transparent, slightly dilated apex; two dark, ribbon-like extensions close to base of embolus.

Diagnosis: Female (male unknown): Colouration and size (TL = ca. 4.5) of C. mikehilli n. sp. is indistinguishable from C. culiculus (Simon, 1898) and C. silhouette Saaristo, 2001. It is, however, easily recognised by its very wide genital lip which almost reaches the lateral sides of the abdomen. Description: See diagnosis. Distribution: Presumably this is an endemic species and found on La Digue and Marianne.

description: Patient acceptance, safety, and efficacy of poly-L/DL-lactic acid (PLLDL) bone plates and screws in craniomaxillofacial surgery are reported in this article. Included in the sample are 745 patients who underwent 761 separate operations, including more than 1400 surgical procedures (orthognathic surgery (685), bone graft reconstruction (37), trauma (191) and transcranial surgery (20)). The success (no breakage or inflammation requiring additional operating room treatment) was 94%. Failure occurred because of breakage (14) or exuberant inflammation (31). All breakage occurred at mandibular sites and the majority of inflammatory failure occurred in the maxilla or orbit (29), with only two in the mandible. Failures were evenly distributed between the two major vendors. PLLDL 70/30 bone plates and screws may be used successfully in a variety of craniomaxillofacial surgical applications. The advantages include the gradual transference of physiological forces to the healing bone, the reduced need for a second operation to remove the material and its potential to serve as a vehicle to deliver bone-healing proteins to fracture/osteotomy sites. Bone healing was noted at all sites, even where exuberant inflammation required a second surgical intervention.

description: This prospective longitudinal study assessed the 3D soft tissue changes following mandibular advancement surgery. Cranial base registration was performed for superimposition of virtual models built from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) volumes. Displacements at the soft and hard tissue chin (n=20), lower incisors and lower lip (n=21) were computed for presurgery to splint removal (4–6 week surgical outcome), presurgery to 1 year postsurgery (1-year surgical outcome), and splint removal to 1 year postsurgery (postsurgical adaptation). Qualitative evaluations of color maps illustrated the surgical changes and postsurgical adaptations, but only the lower lip showed statistically significant postsurgical adaptations. Soft and hard tissue chin changes were significantly correlated for each of the intervals evaluated: presurgery to splint removal (r=0.92), presurgery to 1 year postsurgery (r=0.86), and splint removal to 1 year postsurgery (r=0.77). A statistically significant correlation between lower incisor and lower lip was found only between presurgery and 1 year postsurgery (r=0.55). At 1 year after surgery, 31% of the lower lip changes were explained by changes in the lower incisor position while 73% of the soft tissue chin changes were explained by the hard chin. This study suggests that 3D soft tissue response to mandibular advancement surgery is markedly variable.

description: The purpose of this study was to apply a novel method to evaluate surgical outcomes at 1 year after orthognathic surgery for Class III patients undergoing two different surgical protocols. Fifty patients divided equally into two groups (maxillary advancement only and combined with mandibular setback) had cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans taken pre-surgery, at splint removal, and at 1-year post-surgery. An automatic cranial base superimposition method was used to register, and shape correspondence was applied to assess, the overall changes between pre-surgery and splint removal (surgical changes) and between splint removal and 1-year post-surgery at the end of orthodontic treatment (post-surgical adaptations). Post-surgical maxillary adaptations were exactly the same for both groups, with 52% of the patients having changes >2 mm. Approximately half of the post-surgical changes in the maxilla for both groups were vertical. The two-jaw group showed significantly greater surgical and post-surgical changes in the ramus, chin, and most of the condylar surfaces (P < 0.05). Post-surgical adaptation on the anterior part of the chin was also more significant in the two-jaw group (P < 0.05). Regardless of the type of surgery, marked post-surgical adaptations were observed in the regions evaluated, which explain the adequate maxillary–mandibular relationship at 1-year post-surgery on average, with individual variability.

description: AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate whether skeletal and dental outcomes following Le Fort I surgery differed when stabilization was performed with polylactate bioresorbable devices or titanium devices. Fifty-seven patients with preoperative records and at least 1 year postoperative records were identified and grouped according to the stabilization method. All cephalometric X-rays were traced and digitized by a single operator. Analysis of covariance was used to compare the postsurgical change between the two stabilization methods. Twenty-seven patients received bioresorbable devices (group R), while 30 received titanium devices (group M). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups with respect to gender, race/ethnicity, age, or dental and skeletal movements during surgery. Subtle postsurgical differences were noted, but were not statistically significant. Stabilization of Le Fort I advancement with polylactate bioresorbable and titanium devices produced similar clinical outcomes at 1 year following surgery.

description: Prodida Stella n.sp. (Figs. 61-63) Type: Female holotype from Cousine, under the bark of Casuarina, 25.01.1999, M.Saaristo leg.(MZT AA 0.432). Etymology: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the Christian name of Mrs. Stella Hitchins whose contribution to the reintroduction of the Seychelles magpie robin ( Copsychus sechellarum ) to Cousine has been essential. Diagnosis: This medium-sized, conspicuously light coloured species is easily recognised from all other Seychellian spiders by the circular arrangement of eyes, diverging chelicerae and large, elongated abdomen. Description: Female (male unknown). Medium-sized (TL = 4.5, CL = 1.35), light coloured species; carapace, chelicerae and legs light orange, sternum and abdomen pale yellowish. Eyes in circular arrangement; PMEs dark, circular, others light and more or less irregular in shape. Chelicerae divergent with long, curved fangs, toothless. First leg conspicuously heavier built than the others; coxa IV as long as trochanter IV. Palpal tarsus short, truncate with a bunch of short, rather thick, erect hairs apically. Epigynal plate roundish, bordered by black, curved hairs; more or less irregularly convoluted vulval tubes shining through the integument. Discussion: P. Stella is close to P. longiventris de Dalmas, 1918 from Philippines. Epigyne of the unique specimen of P. longiventris seems to be lost. Differences between the epigyne of P. Stella and de Dalmas (1918) figure of P. longiventris are small. Only after discovery of the males will it be possible to verify the taxonomic status of these two species.

description: The purpose of this study was to review the current literature for the relationship between the preoperative position of the mandibular canal on three-dimensional (3D) radiographic imaging and postoperative neurosensory disturbance (NSD) following a sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). A literature search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database for articles published from 1 January 2000 through 31 December 2013. Studies that included preoperative 3D imaging and assessment of NSD after surgery were reviewed. Study sample characteristics and results were extracted. Of the 69 articles identified, seven met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. There was no standardization for measuring the canal position or for evaluating NSD. General consensus was that the less space between the mandibular canal and the outer border of the buccal cortex the more frequent the occurrence of NSD. Increased bone density also appeared to contribute to a higher incidence of NSD. Utilization of 3D images to locate and measure the position of the mandibular canal is not standardized. Advances in 3D imaging and evaluation tools allow for new methodologies to be developed. Early attempts are informative, but additional studies are needed to verify the relationship between the location of the nerve and NSD following surgery.

Diagnosis: Male of this smallish salticid is easily recognised by its slender, orange abdomen with black apex and spinnerets and female by having a distinct dorsal pattern formed by dark, squamous hairs. Description: Rather small salticid (TL=4.8-5.9, CL=2.19, CW=1.51); female larger than male due the bigger abdomen. Carapace of both sexes orange brown, ocular area densely cowered with squamous, dark brown hairs. Legs pale yellowish. Male abdomen narrow, cowered with squamous, orange hairs; dark lateral stripes on anterior part; apex and spinnerets black. Female abdomen with distinct pattern of dark, squamous hairs. Tibia of male palp with bifid apophysis. Bulbus disk-like; long, whip-like embolus starting from its posterolateral part, running around it, ending close to tip ofcymbium. Epigyne with narrow, median ridge, deeply V-shaped notched anteriorly; openings of fertilising ducts on either sides of posterior part; on both sides of duct openings close to epigastric furrow dark, medially opening arches. Distribution: Previously know only from Solomon Islands. This is the first record of the species from Seychelles and has been found on Bird and Mahé. Discussion: Previously only one female specimen was known of this species. Epigyne figures were presented by Kulczynski (1910) and Proszynski (1984). Epigynes of my specimens correspond to them closely. Th e male is described here for the first time.

description: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been widely adopted in brain lesion detection and segmentation. However, locating small lesions in 2D MRI slices is challenging, and requires to balance between the granularity of 3D context aggregation and the computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a novel view-disentangled transformer to enhance the extraction of MRI features for more accurate tumour detection. First, the proposed transformer harvests long-range correlation among different positions in a 3D brain scan. Second, the transformer models a stack of slice features as multiple 2D views and enhance these features view-by-view, which approximately achieves the 3D correlation computing in an efficient way. Third, we deploy the proposed transformer module in a transformer backbone, which can effectively detect the 2D regions surrounding brain lesions. The experimental results show that our proposed view-disentangled transformer performs well for brain lesion detection on a challenging brain MRI dataset.

description: The standard model of particle physics has been a remarkably successful explanation of the results of particle physics experiments. Recently however, several measurements of observables have produced anomalous results which deviate away from the standard model prediction. This deviation could be a sign of beyond the standard model physics having an effect on the value of these observables. The observables studied in this thesis are the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, the R(K(*)) and R(D(*)) anomalies, and the mass of the W boson. We show the extent at which several beyond the standard model theories could explain the anomalies.

description: In the multi-scale view of the star formation process the material flows from large molecular clouds down to clumps and cores. In this paradigm it is still unclear if it is gravity or turbulence that drives the observed supersonic non-thermal motions during the collapse, in particular in high-mass regions, and at which scales gravity becomes eventually dominant over the turbulence of the interstellar medium. To investigate this problem we have combined the dynamics of a sample of 70 micron-quiet clumps, selected to cover a wide range of masses and surface densities, with the dynamics of the parent filaments in which they are embedded. We observe a continuous interplay between turbulence and gravity, where the former creates structures at all scales and the latter takes the lead when a critical value of the surface density is reached, Sigma_th = 0.1 g cm^-2. In the densest filaments this transition can occur at the parsec, or even larger scales, leading to a global collapse of the whole region and most likely to the formation of the massive objects.

Subjects: Electroanalytical chemistry

description: A minimal instrumentation micropolarograph was built, and its metrological characterization was performed. The oxidation of K4[Fe(CN)6] was studied by linear voltammetry. A microdisc and a bar of carbon were used as working and auxiliary electrodes, respectively. A bar divided into compartments of copper-internal solution-cotton was used as reference. The linear coefficient of determination between the limiting current and the concentration was 0.9926, in the range of 10-2 - 10-1 mol L-1. The coefficient of variation of ten voltammograms at 0.08 mol L-1 was 1.8 %, being inferior to the maximum value reported for these methods. Mood and Kruskal-Wallis tests did not show significant differences between voltammograms. In the range of linear correlation coefficients of potential sweep 0.9488 to 0.9989, no sweep influence on voltammograms was observed. The expanded uncertainty associated with the determination of the limiting current was 1.9 µA. The linear voltammograms for oxidation of ascorbic acid and KI were obtained, showing correspondence with the reported results.

description: The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence and risk factors associated with postoperative nausea (PON) and vomiting (POV) after orthognathic surgery. A review of the clinical records of consecutively enrolled subjects (2008–2012) at a single academic institution was conducted between 9/2013 and 3/2014. Data on the occurrence of PON and POV and potential patient-related, intraoperative, and postoperative explanatory factors were extracted from the medical records. Logistic models were used for the presence/absence of postoperative nausea and vomiting separately. Data from 204 subjects were analyzed: 63% were female, 72% Caucasian, and the median age was 19 years. Thirty-three percent had a mandibular osteotomy alone, 27% a maxillary osteotomy alone, and 40% had bimaxillary osteotomies. Sixty-seven percent experienced PON and 27% experienced POV. The most important risk factors for PON in this series were female gender, increased intravenous fluids, and the use of nitrous oxide, and for POV were race, additional procedures, and morphine administration. The incidence of PON and POV following orthognathic surgery in the current cohort of patients, after the introduction of the updated 2007 consensus guidelines for the management of postoperative nausea and vomiting, has not decreased substantially from that reported in 2003–2004.

description: The presence of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in dentin has been reported, but its distribution and activity level in mature human coronal dentin are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the MMP-2 distribution and relative activity in demineralized dentin. Crowns of twenty eight human molars were sectioned into inner (ID), middle (MD), and outer dentin (OD) regions and demineralized. MMP-2 was extracted with 0.33 mol·L−1 EDTA/2 mol·L−1 guanidine-HCl, pH 7.4, and MMP-2 concentration was estimated with enzyme-linked immunoabsorbant assay (ELISA). Further characterization was accomplished by Western blotting analysis and gelatin zymography. The mean concentrations of MMP-2 per mg dentin protein in the dentin regions were significantly different (P=0.043): 0.9 ng (ID), 0.4 ng (MD), and 2.2 ng (OD), respectively. The pattern of MMP-2 concentration was OD>ID>MD. Western blotting analysis detected ∼66 and ∼72 kDa immunopositive proteins corresponding to pro- and mature MMP-2, respectively, in the ID and MD, and a ∼66 kDa protein in the OD. Gelatinolytic activity consistent with MMP-2 was detected in all regions. Interestingly, the pattern of levels of Western blot immunodetection and gelatinolytic activity was MD>ID>OD. The concentration of MMP-2 in human coronal dentin was highest in the region of dentin that contains the dentinoenamel junction and least in the middle region of dentin. However, levels of Western blot immunodetection and gelatinolytic activity did not correlate with the estimated regional concentrations of MMP-2, potentially indicating region specific protein interactions.
