(fig. 3M–N)
Material examined. Stn. 3: 01.04.2008 —several hydrothecae but no gonothecae, on algae. Stn. 7: 25.03.2008 —a small, sterile colony, with both stolonal and minute erect stems, on algae; 27.03.2008 —a minute, sterile, stolonal colony, on alga.
Description. Colonies minute, mainly stolonal, with erect shoots comprising 1–2 hydrothecae; stolon creeping. Pedicels of variable length (120–235 µm), spirally grooved nearly throughout, smooth below hydrotheca; diameter gradually widening from base (35–45 µm) towards distal end (60–75 µm). Hydrotheca ovate, 235–270 µm long, 120–155 µm wide in middle, tapering apically to form a conical, pleated operculum, with pointed tip; folds continuing downwards nearly to base; the latter square in shape, 100–130 µm wide. Hydranth with ca. 20 amphicoronate tentacles; intertentacular web present. Nematocysts (undischarged): large capsules of unidentified type (11.4–12.0) × (3.7–3.9) µm; microbasic (?) mastigophores (6.3–6.8) × (2.0–2.1) µm.
Remarks. Due to the lack of knowledge of the medusa stage, this material could not be identified to species level. Several nominal species (medusa stage) of Aequorea have been reported from the western Atlantic (see Kramp 1959a), but their complete life cycles are unknown.

description: Background: The small, single-stranded positive-sense RNA astroviruses are mostly known to be enteric viruses. In recent years, though, different astroviruses were reported in association with neurological disease in various species. In cattle, two distinct neurotropic astrovirus genotype species were described in numerous cases of nonsuppurative encephalomyelitis, with one of these viruses also reported in similar circumstances in several sheep. Here, we retrieved archived formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded brain tissues of a muskox diagnosed with a comparable disease pattern in 1982 and investigated them for the presence of neurotropic astroviruses with various techniques. Results: Initially, tissue samples scored positive for both neurotropic astroviruses by immunohistochemistry; however, unexpected results with further immunohistochemical testing, in situ hybridization and qRT-PCR prompted us to submit an RNA extract from the animal’s brain material to next-generation sequencing. We were thus able to obtain the full genome of a novel astrovirus, muskox astrovirus CH18 (MOxAstV-CH18), whose closest relative is an enteric ovine astrovirus. Subsequently, viral RNA could be detected with a specific RT-PCR in the brain of the affected animal, but not in faecal samples from the current muskoxen herd of the animal park where the animal used to be kept. Conclusions: We identified a novel astrovirus in a historical case of a captive muskox with nonsuppurative encephalomyelitis. Unfortunately, our results and the fact that no material from organs other than of the nervous system was available do not allow any assumption about the epidemiology or pathogenesis of the virus. Still, these findings are yet another piece of evidence that the tropism and species specificity of astroviruses could be more deceptive than generally assumed.

description: Jesus’ interaction and dialogue with Peter in John 21, 15−17 is one of the most dy- namic and powerful episodes in the New Testament that has at the same time puz- zled many scholars with varied interpretive issues. With regard to Jesus’ dialogue with Peter in John 21, 15−17, scholars are divided whether Jesus’ conversation and command to Peter aims at rehabilitating Peter to discipleship after his denial of Jesus or entrusting an authoritative commission to Peter to lead others. While most scholars place their emphasis on the role of Peter in John 21, 15−17, the present paper intends to argue in the light of ancient succession stories that Jesus’ interaction and conversation with Peter aims at transferring his leadership role to Peter. Such an attempt is not designed to support Peter’s primacy rather it is intended to interact with the narrative in John 21, 15−17 and presupposes the literary unity of John 21 since the question of integrity is beyond the scope of this paper. In what follows, we will, at first, briefly explain the scholarly discussion surrounding John 21, 15−17, and then we will narrate the succession thinking in Mediterranean Antiquity based on the study of Charles H. Talbert and Perry L. Stepp. Finally, we will explicate exegeti- cally that Jesus’ interaction with Peter in John 21, 15−17 fulfills conceptually not only the ancient conventional form of succession stories but also suggests love for Jesus as a precondition for Jesus’ transfer of leadership.

description: A literature survey reveals that the K-Ar chronometer gives ages that are ca. 1% younger than U-Pb ages. This offset is generally attributed to an inaccurate 40K decay constant. Three geological samples selected from a shortlist of eight with known U-Pb ages were investigated using detailed petrological methods and subsequently the Rb-Sr and K-Ca chronometers in order (a) to evaluate if they meet the requirement of a geological history reflecting a “point-like” event (i.e. isochronous formation and subsequent ideal closure of chronometers) and (b) to narrow down the systematic uncertainty on the 40K decay constant by investigating the metrologically traceable K-Ca decay branch. Lepidolite of the Rubikon pegmatite, Namibia, was dated with Rb-Sr at 504.7 ± 4.2 Ma and the phlogopite and apatite from the Phalaborwa carbonatite complex, South Africa, yielded a Rb-Sr age of 2058.9 ± 5.2 Ma. Both Rb-Sr ages agree with published U-Pb ages. The Rb-Sr age of the late Archean Siilinjärvi carbonatite, Finland, records a later regional metamorphic event at 1869 ± 10 Ma. Only the samples from the Phalaborwa complex represent a “point-like” magmatic event and meet all the criteria to make them suitable for the 40K decay constant intercalibration. The Phalaborwa K-Ca isochron has a slope of 1.878 ± 0.012. Forcing the K-Ca isochron to coincide with the U-Pb and Rb-Sr ages gives one equation with two unknowns. Assuming that the branching ratio of the K-Ca branch, BCa, lies in the interval (k = 2) of all published references, 0.8925 < BCa < 0.8963, then the most reliable uncertainty interval (k = 2) for the total 40K decay constant, λtot, is calculated as 5.484 × 10−10 a−1

description: Data sourcesPubMed, Embase, OvidSP, Web of Science, Cochrane and CINAHL databases were searched up to February 2015 with no language restrictions.Study selectionTwo review authors independently assessed tiles and abstracts of the retrieved case-control, cohorts and cross-sectional studies. For the studies to have been included in the meta-analysis, they must have included the total number of hockey players reporting at least one dentofacial injury, the total number of these injuries compared with other types of injuries and quantitative data on characteristics of dentofacial injuries. Recreational and competitive elite level were included.Data extraction and synthesisThe included studies fell into three categories, related to dentofacial injury, mouthguard use or both, and their quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). A random effects model was used to calculate the overall effect size when appropriate; if not, then pooled prevalence was reported. Binary variables were used in order to express the results as Mantel-Haenszel pooled prevalence odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and a p-value of the overall effect. To compare the between-studies differences, a χ test was used. The heterogeneity across the studies was evaluated using the I.ResultsEleven studies were included: six related to dentofacial injury, one related to mouthguard use and four to both. The numbers of field hockey players who presented at least one dentofacial injury was 12.7% (95% CI 8.5% to 17.0%) and 45.2% (95% CI 39.3% to 51.0%) in junior/senior players and elite players, respectively. There were no significant differences with respect to sex. After 2000, 84.5% (95% CI 69.3% to 99.7%) of players regularly wore mouthguards, whereas only 31.4% (95% CI 22.7% to 40.1%) wore mouthguards previous to 2000. The mouthguards were commonly depicted as unnecessary and uncomfortable by players.ConclusionsDentofacial trauma poses a serious problem in field hockey, but a considerable number of players still do not regularly wear mouthguards. The likelihood is that if mouthguard usage were higher, fewer dentofacial injuries would occur during field hockey games and in training.Source of fundingNone declared.

description: The advancement of domain reduction techniques has significantly enhanced the performance of solvers in mathematical programming. This paper delves into the impact of integrating convexification and domain reduction techniques within the Outer- Approximation method. We propose a refined convexification-based Outer-Approximation method alongside a Branch-and-Bound method for both convex and nonconvex Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming problems. These methods have been developed and incorporated into the open-source Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Decomposition Toolbox for Pyomo-MindtPy. Comprehensive benchmark tests were conducted, validating the effectiveness and reliability of our proposed algorithms. These tests highlight the improvements achieved by incorporating convexification and domain reduction techniques into the Outer-Approximation and Branch-and-Bound methods.

Surfing to help? An empirical analysis of Internet use and volunteering in 27 European societies

description: With the spread of the Internet, people are more connected than ever before. Against this background, we evaluate the link between Internet use and volunteering as a rather unexplored aspect of social life. Comparing 27 European societies and using data from the Eurobarometer, we show that Internet use is positively related to the probability of undertaking unpaid work in most voluntary organizations. However, our main result has to be qualified with respect to group-specific effects. First, Internet use seems to elevate less educated and unemployed peoples’ propensity to volunteer. Thus, using Internet technologies may trigger helping behavior in social strata, where it is less likely to occur. Second, the positive relationship between Internet use and volunteering is stronger for older adults who are more likely to volunteer when they use the Internet. Third, the positive link between Internet use and volunteering is stronger for citizens living in rural areas than for urban residents.

Material examined. Stn. 3: 01.04.2008 —several colonies, 1.0– 1.5 mm high, some with gonothecae, on algae and concretions. Stn. 7: 25.03.2008 —a sterile colony, ca. 2.5 mm high, on concretions; 27.03.2008 —three stems, ca. 1.0 mm high, no gonothecae, on Halimeda sp.
Type locality. Bonaire Island, the Netherlands Antilles.
Remarks. This species is easily recognizable due to its generally shallow, wide hydrotheca, with even rim, and subhydrothecal spherule (Cornelius 1982). I have little to add to the previous descriptions of its trophosome (Leloup 1935, Millard 1975, Cornelius 1982, Calder 1991d, Migotto 1996). The size of hydrothecae is highly variable among specimens from one colony (see table 2). The tentacle number in the present specimens varies between 24 and 30. There are 6–14 basal annuli and 4–7 additional ones in the middle part of the hydrothecal pedicels. The diaphragm of hydrotheca is obviously inclined to one side.
Fertile material of C. hummelincki has rarely been described (Millard 1966, 1975). In the present specimens, the gonotheca is borne on a short, twisted pedicel (1–2 twists) arising from the hydrorhiza; it is inverted-conical in shape, widening gradually from base towards aperture. In lateral view, it appears asymmetrical, with one side straight to slightly curved, and the opposite one with significant basal curvature; both walls are smooth throughout. The distal end of the gonotheca is truncated; the aperture is wide and circular, closed by a thin, convex layer of perisarc. One or two medusa buds are present in the four gonothecae examined, but no morphological details could be observed. Additional studies are necessary in order to describe the complete life cycle of this species.
Distribution. Reported infrequently from warm waters of the western and eastern Atlantic, and eastern Pacific (Calder et al. 2003).

description: Historically, software application systems have been produced either individually tailored for the specific customer, or they have been adapted from standardized packages. This paper proposes that component based software development could provide a synthesis of both approaches, combining the best aspects of each of the other two paradigms. Taking a closer look at the underlying principles of software reuse and modularity, however, reveals a number of conflicting forces that influence the acceptance and diffusion of this new paradigm within and throughout the software industry. A dialectical change perspective is used to explain this change process. It is argued that traditional software producers have a dominant position in their industry, and will be able to retain this position for some time. However, the concept of mindful innovation is introduced to give an outlook how smaller software producers might exploit the opportunities that this paradigm shift provides.

description: OBJECTIVES: Many predictive or influencing factors have emerged in investigations of the cognitive reserve model of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). For example, neuronal injury, which correlates with cognitive decline in AD, can be assessed by [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission-tomography (FDG-PET), structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and total tau in cerebrospinal fluid (CSFt-tau), all according to the A/T/N-classification. The aim of this study was to calculate residual cognitive performance based on neuronal injury biomarkers as a surrogate of cognitive reserve, and to test the predictive value of this index for the individual clinical course. METHODS: 110 initially mild cognitive impaired and demented subjects (age 71 ± 8 years) with a final diagnosis of AD dementia were assessed at baseline by clinical mini-mental-state-examination (MMSE), FDG-PET, MRI and CSFt-tau. All neuronal injury markers were tested for an association with clinical MMSE and the resulting residuals were correlated with years of education. We used multiple regression analysis to calculate the expected MMSE score based on neuronal injury biomarkers and covariates. The residuals of the partial correlation for each biomarker and the predicted residualized memory function were correlated with individual cognitive changes measured during clinical follow-up (27 ± 13 months). RESULTS: FDG-PET correlated highly with clinical MMSE (R = -0.49, p

description: Forests are one of the most cost-effective ways to sequester carbon today. Here, I estimate the world’s land share under forests required to prevent dangerous climate change. For this, I combine newest longitudinal data of FLUXNET on forests’ net ecosystem exchange of carbon (NEE) from 78 forest sites (N=607) with countries’ mean temperature and forest area. This straightforward approach indicates that the world’s forests sequester 8.3 GtCO2yr-1. For the 2 °C climate target the current forest land share has to be doubled to 60.0 % to sequester an additional 7.8 GtCO2yr-1, which demands less red meat consumption. This afforestation/reforestation (AR) challenge is achievable, as the estimated global biophysical potential of AR is 8.0 GtCO2yr-1 safeguarding food supply for 10 billion people. Climate-responsible countries have the highest AR potential. For effective climate policies, knowledge on the major drivers of forest area is crucial. Enhancing information here, I analyse forest land share data of 98 countries from 1990 to 2015 applying causal inference (N=2,494). The results highlight that population growth, industrialization, and increasing temperature reduce forest land share, while more protected forest and economic growth generally increase it. In all, this study confirms the potential of AR for climate change mitigation with a straightforward approach based on the direct measurement of NEE. This might provide a more valid picture given the shortcomings of indirect carbon stock-based inventories. The analysis identifies future regional hotspots for the AR potential and informs the need for fast and forceful action to prevent dangerous climate change.

description: OBJECTIVE To evaluate C-reactive protein at presentation and during hospitalisation in dogs with acute kidney injury resulting from leptospirosis to compare C-reactive protein at presentation in dogs with acute kidney injury of different aetiology and to study its correlation with markers of inflammation, azotaemia and survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective observational study of 41 dogs with acute kidney injury secondary to leptospirosis and 15 control dogs with acute kidney injury of different aetiology. C-reactive protein was measured at presentation in both groups and daily for 7 days in a subgroup of 28 dogs with leptospirosis. The associations of C-reactive protein with neutrophil count, albumin, urea, creatinine and survival were analysed. RESULTS C-reactive protein was increased at presentation in all dogs with leptospirosis but was not significantly different from dogs with acute kidney injury of different cause. It was associated with markers of inflammation (neutrophil count, albumin) but not with azotaemia (creatinine, urea). It decreased gradually from presentation to day 4, with significantly lower concentrations in survivors than non-survivors. Initial C-reactive protein was only weakly associated with outcome, but its average concentration from presentation to day 2 was more strongly associated. Absolute and relative changes in C-reactive protein during hospitalisation and creatinine at presentation were not associated with survival. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Serial assessment of C-reactive protein may improve outcome prediction in dogs with leptospirosis compared with a single measurement at presentation or with markers of renal function.

description: BACKGROUND: Augmenting the brain clearance of toxic oligomers with small molecule modulators constitutes a promising therapeutic concept against tau deposition. However, there has been no test of this concept in animal models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) with initiation at a late disease stage. Thus, we aimed to investigate the effects of interventional late-stage Anle138b treatment, which previously indicated great potential to inhibit oligomer accumulation by binding of pathological aggregates, on the metabolic decline in transgenic mice with established tauopathy in a longitudinal 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) study. METHODS: Twelve transgenic mice expressing all six human tau isoforms (hTau) and ten controls were imaged by FDG-PET at baseline (14.5 months), followed by randomization into Anle138b treatment and vehicle groups for 3 months. FDG-PET was repeated after treatment for 3 months, and brains were analyzed by tau immunohistochemistry. Longitudinal changes of glucose metabolism were compared between study groups, and the end point tau load was correlated with individual FDG-PET findings. RESULTS: Tau pathology was significantly ameliorated by late-stage Anle138b treatment when compared to vehicle (frontal cortex - 53%, p

Clytia macrotheca — Calder, 1991d: 64, fig. 35.
Material examined. Stn. 6: 23.03.2008 —a couple of polyps, less than 2 mm high, no gonothecae, on Halimeda sp. Stn. 7: 25.03.2008 —two small polyps, but no gonothecae, on Halimeda sp.
Type locality. Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas, Florida, United States.
Remarks. Though confidently identifiable, the present material is scarce and sterile, and therefore not suitable for a new description of this species. For a recent redescription of its trophosome, see Calder (1991d), who also commented on its synonymy. Fertile specimens were originally found by Perkins (1908), but no data are currently available on the mature medusa.
Distribution. Western Atlantic (Calder 1991d).

description: 1.Global warming is one of the greatest threats to the persistence of populations: increased metabolic demands should strengthen pairwise species interactions, which could destabilise food webs at the higher organisational levels. Quantifying the temperature dependence of consumer‐resource interactions is thus essential for predicting ecological responses to warming. 2.We explored feeding interactions between different predator‐prey pairs in temperature‐controlled chambers and in a system of naturally‐heated streams. We found consistent temperature dependence of attack rates across experimental settings, though the magnitude and activation energy of attack rate was specific to each predator, which varied in mobility and foraging mode. 3.We used these parameters along with metabolic rate measurements to estimate energetic efficiency and population abundance with warming. Energetic efficiency accurately estimated field abundance of a mobile predator that struggled to meet its metabolic demands, but was a poor predictor for a sedentary predator that operated well below its energetic limits. Temperature effects on population abundance may thus be strongly dependent on whether organisms are regulated by their own energy intake or interspecific interactions. 4.Given the widespread use of functional response parameters in ecological modelling, reconciling outcomes from laboratory and field studies increases the confidence and precision with which we can predict warming impacts on natural systems.

description: ObjectiveAutonomic neuropathy is a major component of familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) due to mutated transthyretin, with sudomotor failure as a common manifestation. This study aimed to investigate the pathology and clinical significance of sudomotor denervation. MethodsSkin biopsies were performed on the distal leg of FAP patients with a follow-up duration of 3.81.6 years. Sudomotor innervation was stained with 2 markers: protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5), a general neuronal marker, and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a sudomotor nerve functional marker, followed by quantitation according to sweat gland innervation index (SGII) for PGP 9.5 (SGIIPGP 9.5) and VIP (SGIIVIP). ResultsThere were 28 patients (25 men) with Ala97Ser transthyretin and late onset (59.9 +/- 6.0 years) disabling neuropathy. Autonomic symptoms were present in 22 patients (78.6%) at the time of skin biopsy. The SGIIPGP 9.5 and SGIIVIP of FAP patients were significantly lower than those of age- and gender-matched controls. The reduction of SGIIVIP was more severe than that of SGIIPGP 9.5 (p=0.002). Patients with orthostatic hypotension or absent sympathetic skin response at palms were associated with lower SGIIPGP 9.5 (p=0.019 and 0.002, respectively). SGIIPGP 9.5 was negatively correlated with the disability grade at the time of skin biopsy (p=0.004), and was positively correlated with the interval from the time of skin biopsy to the time of wheelchair usage (p=0.029). InterpretationThis study documented the pathological evidence of sudomotor denervation in FAP. SGIIPGP 9.5 was functionally correlated with autonomic symptoms, autonomic tests, ambulation status, and progression of disability. Ann Neurol 2015;78:272?283 ; 解剖學暨細胞生物學科暨研究所 ; 醫學院 ; 期刊論文

Material examined. Stn. 3: 01.04.2008 —a few hydrothecae and nematothecae, but no gonothecae, on stolons of sertulariid and corynid hydroids. Stn. 6: 23.03.2008 —a small, sterile colony, on Halimeda sp.
Type locality. Near Solomon Islands, Melanesia (medusa).
Remarks. The present material is tentatively assigned to Kramp’s (1959b) species. Since Cirrholovenia tetranema is reliably identified through its medusa stage, it is possible that similar polyps may produce different medusae.
Migotto & Cabral (2005) showed that Lafoeina amirantensis (Millard & Bouillon 1973) is the hydroid of the medusa Cirrholovenia tetranema Kramp, 1959 and provided a complete redescription of both stages.
Distribution. Scattered records from both the western and eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea, Indian and Pacific Oceans. A detailed list of records is provided by Migotto & Cabral (2005).

description: BACKGROUND/AIMS The spectrum of dermatological emergencies is broad. Only a few studies have assessed the profile of dermatological conditions resulting in an emergency visit in a referral hospital. We sought to assess the conditions prompting an urgent dermatological visit and to compare the diagnoses with those made during the regular scheduled encounters. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study of all patients with a cutaneous problem attending our emergency consultation during a 7-month period. The study variables were gender, age, duration of symptoms, diagnosis, need for hospitalization and/or follow-up. We further evaluated patients attending scheduled visits to compare the demographic characteristics and diagnoses between the two groups. RESULTS Six hundred fifty-two consecutive patients with an urgent dermatological consultation were included. Three hundred sixty (55.2%) were women and 292 (44.8%) were men. Infectious diseases (32.8%) as well as various forms of eczema (24.8%) constituted the most frequent causes for an emergency visit. Approximately 40% of emergency visits took place more than 1 week after the development of the cutaneous manifestations. The most frequent disorders seen in the 1,738 control patients included benign melanocytic and nonmelanocytic tumors (27.2%) and malignant skin lesions (11.5%). CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that the dermatological diagnoses in the emergency visits significantly differ from those of the routinely scheduled appointments. In a significant portion of patients, the use of an emergency consultation was not justified. This study provides support to the idea that a specific training is required to manage dermatological emergencies and that efforts should be made to reduce unjustified emergency visit use.
Viewing men's faces does not lead to accurate predictions of trustworthiness

description: The evolution of cooperation requires some mechanism that reduces the risk of exploitation for cooperative individuals. Recent studies have shown that men with wide faces are anti-social, and they are perceived that way by others. This suggests that people could use facial width to identify anti-social men and thus limit the risk of exploitation. To see if people can make accurate inferences like this, we conducted a two-part experiment. First, males played a sequential social dilemma, and we took photographs of their faces. Second, raters then viewed these photographs and guessed how second movers behaved. Raters achieved significant accuracy by guessing that second movers exhibited reciprocal behaviour. Raters were not able to use the photographs to further improve accuracy. Indeed, some raters used the photographs to their detriment; they could have potentially achieved greater accuracy and earned more money by ignoring the photographs and assuming all second movers reciprocate.

description: This paper introduces an innovative approach for image matting that redefines the traditional regression-based task as a generative modeling challenge. Our method harnesses the capabilities of latent diffusion models, enriched with extensive pre-trained knowledge, to regularize the matting process. We present novel architectural innovations that empower our model to produce mattes with superior resolution and detail. The proposed method is versatile and can perform both guidance-free and guidance-based image matting, accommodating a variety of additional cues. Our comprehensive evaluation across three benchmark datasets demonstrates the superior performance of our approach, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results not only reflect our method's robust effectiveness but also highlight its ability to generate visually compelling mattes that approach photorealistic quality.

description: Extreme weather events, like drought and heat waves, their duration and intensity are difficult to predict since they

usually depend on large spectre of environmental factors. Seasonal weather forecast (SWF) is therefore a powerful

tool in assessing timing and effect of adverse weather conditions for crops. SWF used in this study is one of the

newly available data products developed by European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts (ECMWF). SWF is

composed of ensembles of individual forecasts coupled to an ocean model and post-processed products of average

conditions with the associated uncertainty. SWF products are available up to 7 months ahead with the resolution of

0.5o x 0.5o. To describe appearance and intensity of adverse weather conditions we used full set of meteorological

data (temperature, precipitation, radiation, humidity and wind speed). The observed and forecasted meteorological

data were in the form of daily averaged values.
