No full textHERAEUS CONCOLOR SLATER & BARANOWSKI, 1994 (FIGS 25 G, 30D, 31, 32I–L, 33A) Heraeus concolor Slater & Baranowski, 1994: 493 –494; Slater & O’Donnell, 1995: 147; Baranowski & Slater, 2005: 137. Diagnosis Small species, total length less than 5 mm. Pedicel with abundant erect setae, equal to or longer than diameter of segment. Distiflagellomere with a pale band. Labium extending to metacoxae. Membrane with an apical pale spot. Metafemur darker on apical one-quarter. Heraeus concolor is similar in external appearance to H. pulchellus. Both are small species with a long labium extending to or near metacoxae; H. concolor can be differentiated by the dark-brown distiflagellomere with a conspicuous pale sub-basal band, whereas in H. pulchellus it is uniformly dark brown. These two species are known from the West Indies, and probably derived from ancestral stock related to H. plebejus that reached the islands from Florida (USA). Description (Fig. 25 G) Head: Coriaceous. Eyes not surpassing the dorsal margin of head in lateral view. Ocelli placed at level of an imaginary line passing the posterior border of eyes. Labium extending to metacoxae. Distiflagellomere with a pale band. Pedicel with abundant erect setae, equal to or longer than diameter of segment. Thorax: Posterior pronotal lobe with pale spots and a pale spot on humeral angles. Anterior pronotal lobe with long erect setae. Evaporative area extended. Scutellum with erect setae. Inner corial spot diffuse. Costal margin pale on proximal three-quarters. Corium with a subapical corial spot. Membrane with an apical pale spot, veins pale. Profemur dark, at most with apex paler, meso- and metafemur darker apically (Fig. 33 A); setae on profemur long and erect; protibia and mesofemur without spines. Abdomen, male genitalia: Pygophore (Fig. 32 I, J) rounded, anterior margin of dorsal aperture rounded. Parameres: Figure 32 (K, L). Aedeagus (Fig. 30 D): conjunctiva with a few minute spines laterally, vesica with lobes weakly sclerotized and spined apically; processus gonopori long and slender.

THE HISTORY OF THE MEDIEVAL OPEN SETTLEMENT OF STARE MIASTO (CIVITAS ANTIQUA) AT KALISZ (GREATER POLAND) TRACKED BY ISOTOPE DATING METHODOLOGY
No full textThe main results achieved by the present research are summarized as follows: 1) Two distinct Early Middle Ages occupation phases in the most elevated area of the Kalisz-Stare Miasto settlement have been distinguished and their timing assessed by isotope dating. 2) A significant hiatus between the two occupation phases could indicate abandonment or a change of function of the higher parts of stare Miasto. 3) The transition from the first, unmanaged Stare Miasto village to a proto-urban settlement took place over some 400 years. During this time interval, however, the occupation appears to have been confined to the lower parts of the eminence (e.g. trench II, not discussed here). 4) The 14C readings have confirmed that layers exposed in trenches X and XII were unaffected by reworking and therefore the excavated bones and wood fragments refer to the Christian cemetery of the most recent (cal. A.D. 1165-1280) Early Middle Ages occupation phase

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Prospective BMI category change associated with cardiovascular fitness change
No full textBARANOWSKI, T., T.-A. CHEN, J. A. MENDOZA, T. O'CONNOR, J. BARANOWSKI, and R. JAGO. Prospective BMI Category Change Associated with Cardiovascular Fitness Change. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 45, No. 2, pp. 294-298, 2013. Purpose: The objective of this study was to test the relationship of change in body mass index (BMI) percentile score group (from sixth to eighth grade) with change in cardiovascular fitness (CVF), baseline BMIz-score, and CVF. Methods: Children (3998 (92%)) in the HEALTHY trial provided complete data at the beginning of sixth and end of eighth grades. Height and weight were assessed according to standardized protocol. CVF was measured using the 20-m shuttle run. Changes in BMI percentile were categorized into five groups: increased a BMI category, stayed obese, stayed overweight, stayed at a healthy weight, and decreased a BMI category. Data were analyzed separately by sex, controlling for race, parental education, change in pubertal stage, and baseline BMIz-score and CVF. Results: Youth (male and female) who lowered their BMI group or remained in the healthy or overweight groups had significantly larger increases in CVF than those in the stayed obese or increased a BMI category groups. However, these relationships accounted for a small percentage of variance (i.e., weak relationship). Staying obese was associated with the highest baseline BMIz-score, with the second highest among those who decreased a BMI category. BMI category change accounted for the most variance in baseline BMIz-score. Conclusions: Changes in BMI categories were substantially more strongly related to sixth-grade values of BMIz-score than to CVF changes. Because preexisting adiposity may inhibit adiposity change, changes in CVF and adiposity should be attempted before middle school.</p
