Conus pretiosus Nevill and Nevill 1874
No full text46. Conus pretiosus Nevill and Nevill, 1874 (Figure 47) Conus pretiosus Nevill & Nevill, 1874: 22 (holotype, ZSI (59.5 x 24 mm); "Andamans"). Conus phuketensis da Motta, 1978: 4, fig. 2.pl. 67 (holotype, MHNG (81 x 33 mm) (Röckel et al. 1995); "off the coastal waters from Phuket Islands South West Thailand westward toward the Andaman Islands in the Andaman Sea"). Material examined: MBMCS146, 4 specimens, SL 48–80 mm; SW 21–33 mm. Description. Shell moderately large to large, moderately solid. Body whorl ventricosely conical, outline convex adapically and straight below. Shoulder angulate. Spire of moderate height, stepped, outline straight, apex pointed and sharp. Body whorl smooth. Outer lip thin and sharp. Periostracum thin and translucent. Ground colour white to cream. Body whorl with narrow brown (cream to yellowish brown) spiral bands from base to shoulder. Overlying spiral rows of variously sized and shaped brown to dark brown markings fuse into variably prominent interrupted spiral bands, below shoulder and above centre. Spire whorls white to brown, early whorls white to pale brown. Post nuclear sutural ramps white or cream with brown radial streaks and blotches. Aperture pale pinkish; exterior pattern visible on the outer lip margin. Periostracum brown and translucent. Distribution. Nevill & Nevill (1874) reported this species for the first time from the Andaman Islands. Röckel et al. (1995) recorded one specimen from Tuticorin and another from Bay of Bengal; the exact locality of the latter was not given. The specimens described herein were collected from Keelakarai and Pamban (Table 6) by trawling in 40– 60 m. Remarks. Conus pretiosus is extremely rare and probably restricted to Gulf of Mannar. Fishermen of Pamban consider it a rare species and differentiate it from other cones by naming it as ‘Pamban vallapoo’.Published as part of Franklin, J. Benjamin, Subramanian, K. A., Fernando, S.

A Leicestershire Recusant Family: The Nevills of Nevill Holt – I
No full textAt the Reformation, three possibilities faced English Catholics. They could continue to be Catholics and so suffer the penalties of the penal laws; they could conform to the Church of England; or they could adopt a middle course and become Church Papists. The Nevills of Nevill Holt, near Market Harborough in Leicestershire, went through all three phases. In the reign of Edward VI, Thomas Nevill I became a Protestant. His grandson, Thomas Nevill II, became a Church Papist under James I; and Thomas II’s son, Henry Nevill I, continued to be one at the time of the Civil War. But Henry l’s son William was definitely a Catholic and went into exile with King James II, while William’s son, Henry Nevill II, was an open Catholic under Charles II. Henry Nevill II’s descendants continued to be Catholics throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries until they left Nevill Holt in the late nineteenth century.</jats:p
Greek adolescents, fitness, fatness, fat intake, activity, and coronary heart disease risk.
No full textA dramatic increase in adult mortality rates from coronary heart disease (CHD) in Greece, accompanied by increased prevalence of CHD risk factors in children, has been documented. However, there is controversy about the independent effects of certain lifestyle parameters on primary CHD risk factors. This article examine the association between CHD risk factors (HDL-C, LDL-C, HDL-C/TC, triglycerides, systolic and diastolic blood pressure) and lifestyle parameters (fitness, fatness, fat intake, and physical activity) in 210 12-year old Greek pupils. Correcting for the fixed factors of gender and maturation, analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) with backward elimination of the lifestyle covariates revealed significant associations between three CHD risk factors (HDL-C, HDL-C/TC, systolic blood pressure) and physical activity levels. In contrast, the covariates aerobic fitness, fatness and fat intake failed to reach significance with any of the CHD risk factors. In Greek schoolchildren, primary CHD risk factors are mainly associated with physical activity levels, independently of fitness, fatness, and/or fat intake. Prevention strategies should concentrate on enhancing physical activity early in life, if the increased prevalence of Greek adult CHD mortality is to be diminished
Identifying the optimal body shape and composition associated with strength outcomes in children and adolescent according to place of residence: an allometric approach
No full textThe purpose of the study was to identify the optimal body shape and composition associated with physical fitness levels of children living in urban and rural areas of Italy. A total of 7102 children (11–14 years) were assessed for weight, height, percentage body fat (FM%), sit-and-reach flexibility (SAR), standing broad jump (SBJ) and sit-ups (SUP). A multiplicative allometric model, Y = a · massk1 · heightk2 ·ε, was used to predict the physical outcome variables Y = SBJ and SUP. The model was expanded to incorporate FM% and SAR as follows Y = a · massk1 · heightk2 · FM%k3 · exp(b· FM% + c· SAR) ·ε. Note that FM% was incorporated as a “gamma function” that allows an initial growth, and subsequent decline in Y as FM% increases in size. Although having an ectomorph body shape appears advantageous, being too thin appears detrimental to the strength outcomes. Being flexible would also benefit physical fitness levels. Finally, our results indicate that ursban children aged 11–14 have superior strength outcomes compared with rural children, having controlled for differences in body shape and composition, a finding that may be associated with rural environments having fewer exercise facilities compared with urban conurbations
