Black-tailed Mosquito Culiseta melanura (Coquillett) (Insecta: Diptera: Culicidae) by Eva Buckner, Angelique Showman, C. Roxanne Connelly

“…Culiseta melanura is important because of its role in the transmission cycle of eastern equine encephalitis virus and potentially West Nile virus. Because adult female Culiseta melanura primarily take their blood meals from birds, they are responsible for transmitting eastern equine encephalitis virus between birds. …”

Optimized AAA procedure of integration of mobile IP and SIP by XU Peng, LIAO Jian-xin, ZHU Xiao-min, WU Jia-chun

“…In a multi-protocol,multi-layer mobility management scheme,mobile IP and SIP were used as mobility man-agement protocol in network layer and application layer,respectively.It was very inefficient when performing AAA op-erations in mobile IP and SIP independently.To solve this problem,proposed an optimized scheme,named Optimized AAA Procedure of Integration of Mobile IP and SIP（OAPIMS）.Under the new AAA protocol,DIAMETER,it optimized signaling procedure of the two protocols while performing mobility registration.So it reduced time of round trips of sig-naling exchange and improved efficiency.Analysis indicates that this scheme can reduce signaling cost,time delay and improve system performance significantly.…”

Differences between mates at the TLR1Lb locus are associated with lower reproductive success in a long-lived seabird by Marianne Gousy-Leblanc, Thomas Merkling, Lila Colston-Nepali, Emma Lachance Linklater, Kyle H. Elliott, Vicki L. Friesen

“…Individual genetic diversity (both neutral and functional) was unrelated to reproductive success, but surprisingly, successful multi-year reproductive success decreased with the genetic difference between breeding partners at TLR1Lb. …”

Pulmonary Talcosis in an Immunocompromised Patient by Thanh-Phuong Nguyen, Sowmya Nanjappa, Manjunath Muddaraju, John N. Greene

“…Very often, patients do not recognize their exposure, especially in those whose exposure is unrelated to their occupation. Our case emphasizes the need for thorough and careful history taking of occupational and nonoccupational exposure to known causative agents of interstitial lung disease.…”

Encapsulated human islets in alginate fiber maintain long-term functionality by Junko Nishida, Takahiro Tsuno, Shigeharu G. Yabe, Tatsuya Kin, Satsuki Fukuda, Fujie Takeda, Jun Shirakawa, Hitoshi Okochi

“…Encapsulated islets maintained C-peptide and glucagon secretion for more than 75 days in 5 cases; in two cases, their secretion was also successfully detected even on day 180. α- and β-cell composition and β-cell survival in islets were unaltered in the fiber after 75 or 180 days of culture. …”

A CACTA-like transposon in the Anthocyanidin synthase 1 (Ans-1) gene is responsible for apricot fruit colour in the raspberry (Rubus idaeus) cultivar 'Varnes'. by Daniel James Sargent, Matteo Buti, Stefan Martens, Claudio Pugliesi, Kjersti Aaby, Dag Røen, Chandra Bhan Yadav, Felicidad Fernández Fernández, Muath Alsheikh, Jahn Davik, R Jordan Price

“…PCR confirmed the presence in heterozygous form of the transposon in an unrelated, red-fruited cultivar 'Veten', indicating apricot fruit colour is recessive to red and that it may be widespread in raspberry germplasm, potentially explaining why apricot forms appear at regular intervals in modern raspberry breeding populations.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Metal-Supported Mesoporous Silicas Applied to the Adsorption of Benzothiophene by Enrique Vilarrasa-García, Diana C.S. Azevedo, Pilar Braos-García, Antonia Infantes-Molina, Célio L. Cavalcante, José Jiménez-Jiménez, Antonio Jiménez-Lopez, Enrique Rodríguez-Castellón

“…The surface area decreased significantly for samples with incorporated metals, especially for those prepared by solid-mixture impregnation (Cu and Pd), although the hexagonal arrangement and the average pore size remained virtually unaltered. As revealed by batch adsorption isotherms, the incorporation of metals effectively increased the retention of the adsorbent towards the sulphur compound in the following order: Pd < Fe > Cu. …”
