Description (Fig. 2). Wingspan 12-13 mm. Antenna gray-brown, bipectinate in male, rami short. Head pale gray; frons dark; labial palpus dark, slender, upturned over vertex. Thorax dark gray. Patagium pale gray and tegula fuscous gray. Femur, tibia and tarsus of forelegs dark gray. Femur of midlegs with fuscous gray; tibia dark gray, a pair of spurs in middle part (one short, another one long); tarsus dark. Hindlegs with femur gray; tibia pale gray, with a pair of spurs in middle part (one short, another one long) and a pair of spurs in apical part (one short, another one long); tibia fuscous. Ground color of forewing fuscous gray, with antemedian series of three dark spots curved; straight medial dark band broad, diffuse distally; one dark discoidal spot; postmedian series of dark spots convex outward, finished before costa and dorsum; before apex with one fuscous patch; terminal series of dark spots; fringe fuscous brown. Hindwing fuscous gray; terminal line dark; fringe gray. Male genitalia (Fig. 9). Uncus slender and bent, with a small spine at tip; valva with weakly setose, apex obliquely truncated, left valva narrower than right one, upper angle of left valva with sclerotized seta, lower angle of left valva sclerotized, distinctly angled; upper angle of right valva rounded, with seta (shorter than left valva) below apex, lower angle of right valva sclerotized, distinctly angled; costa with one shallow angular projection at half of costa; saccular process long, extend into lower angle of valva, with bent, spine-shaped projection at apex; juxta broad; aedeagus vesica with scobinate zone, one large and spine-shaped cornutus, one bundle of short spines, and finely scobinate. Female genitalia. Unknown. Diagnosis. This species is superficially similar to S. mlcochi Bucsek, but it can be distinguished from the latter by the forewing with a medial dark band broad at costa; postmedian series of dark spots sharply curved outwardly, and gray hindwing. The male genitalia are similar to those of S. chinesica (Draudt), but it can be distinguished from the latter by the valva narrow, straight, apically tapering into a spike; the costa without a strongly angular projection at middle of costa; the aedeagus with one stout, spine-shaped cornutus, fused laterally with an oval plate. Distribution. Cambodia (Bokor, Cardamom, Koh Kong, Samkos). Etymology. The species is named from the Khmer ethnic group of Cambodia.Published as part of Bayarsaikhan, Ulziijargal & Bae, Yang-Seop, 2015, Three new species of Stictane Hampson, 1900 (Erebidae, Arctiinae) from Cambodia, with Checklist of Stictane, pp. 241-252 in Zootaxa 3981 (2) on pages 243-244, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3981.2.5, http://zenodo.org/record/23344

Methods: We used data from 6796 individuals (born 1925–27 and 1950–52) from the Hordaland Health Study, a prospective cohort study in Norway. The study was conducted in 1992–1993 and 1997–1999. Cross-sectional analyses were conducted with data from 1997/99, including BF% measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Longitudinal analyses included BMI and CUN-BAE calculated in 1992/93, and self-reported information on CVD events and diabetes in 1997/99. Results: The correlation between CUN-BAE and BF% (r=0.88) was stronger than between BMI and BF% (r=0.56). In sex-stratified analyses, CUN-BAE and BMI correlated similarly with BF% in men (r=0.77 and r=0.76, respectively) and women (r=0.82 and r=0.81, respectively). In longitudinal analyses, the odds ratio (per 1 SD increase) of CVD and type 2 diabetes was higher for BMI (ORCVD =1.23 [95% CI: 1.11–1.36]; ORdiabetes =2.11 [1.82–2.45]) than for CUN-BAE (ORCVD =1.15 [1.04–1.27]; ORdiabetes =2.06 [1.72–2.47]) in the total population. In sex-stratified analyses, CUN-BAE showed higher CVD and diabetes risk than BMI: in men BMI ORCVD =1.22 (1.04–1.44), ORdiabetes =2.13 (1.64–2.83); CUN-BAE ORCVD =1.93 (1.54–2.43), ORdiabetes =4.33 (2.80–6.71); and in women BMI ORCVD =1.22 (1.07–1.39), ORdiabetes =2.11 (1.76–2.53); CUN-BAE ORCVD =2.06 (1.69–2.51), ORdiabetes =5.45 (3.87–7.67). Conclusion: CUN-BAE is more strongly associated with future risk of type 2 diabetes and CVD compared with BMI in analysis stratified by sex. As a measure of adiposity in men and women separately, CUN-BAE has no advantage over BMI, except when the value of estimated BF% itself is of interest.

Preparation and optical characterization of mesoporous silica films with different pore sizes
No full textMesoporous silica films with three different pore sizes were prepared by using cationic surfactant, non-ionic surfactant, or triblock copolymer as structure directing agents with tetramethylorthosilicate as silica source in order to control the pore size and wall thickness. They were synthesized by an evaporation-induced self-assembly process and spin-coated on Si wafer. Mesoporous silica films with three different pore sizes of 2.9, 4.6, and 6.6 nm and wall thickness ranging from similar to 1 to similar to 3 nm were prepared by using three different surfactants. These materials were optically transparent mesoporous silica films and crack free when thickness was less than 1 mu m. The photoluminescence spectra found in the visible range were peaked at higher energy for smaller pore and thinner wall sized materials, consistent with the quantum confinement effect within the nano-sized walls of the silica pores.J.

Comparison of 90-day case-fatality after ischemic stroke between two different stroke outcome registries using propensity score matching analysis. Acta Neurol Scand: 2011: 123: 325-331. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Background - It has not been clarified whether the disparity in ischemic stroke outcome between populations is caused by ethnic and geographic differences or by variations in case mix. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis can overcome some analytical problems but is rarely used in stroke outcome research. This study was to compare the ischemic stroke case-fatality between two PSM cohorts of Sweden and Korea. Methods - Prognostic variables related to baseline characteristics and stroke care were included in our PSM model. Then, we selected 7675 Swedish and 1220 Korean patients with ischemic stroke from each stroke registers and performed one-to-one matching based on propensity scores of each patient. Results - After PSM, all measured variables were well balanced in 1163 matched subjects, and the 90-day case-fatality was identical 6.2% (HR 0.997, 95%CI 0.905-1.099) in Sweden and Korea. Conclusions - No difference is found in the 90-day case-fatality in propensity score-matched Swedish and Korean patients with ischemic stroke

Age determination and growth estimates of the white-spotted conger eel, Conger myriaster (Brevoort, 1856) in marine waters of South Korea
No full textThe age and growth of conger eel, Conger myriaster, were investigated by measuring transversely sectioned sagittal otoliths samples from 635 individuals. Sample ages ranged from 1 to 13 years in the female data. Parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth function were estimated using nonlinear regression from back-calculation, mean length of samples at age relationships, and otolith weight-at-age relationships. Best-fitting value of the three methods was the otolith weight-at-age relationship (r2 = .87). Parameters of otolith weight-at-age were estimated as L∞ = 143.76 cm, K = 0.081, and t0 = −1.285. Maximum oocyte diameter (MOD) ranged from 50 to 430 μm. Reproductive traits of ovaries showed a positive relationship between GSI and MOD (r2 = .8515). It is suggested that oogenesis begins to develop from 4 years of age and at lengths of about 45 cm TL. In conclusion, these data provide reliable fundamental data for the fish stock management of Conger myriaster in South Korea
