A Unicore Globus Interoperability Layer
No full textFor several years, UNICORE and Globus have co-existed as approaches to exploiting what has become known as the "Grid". Both offer many services beneficial for creating and using production Grids. A cooperative approach, providing interoperability between Globus and UNICORE, would result in an advanced set of Grid services that gain strength from each other. This paper outlines some of these parallels and differences as they relate to the development of an interoperability layer between UNICORE and Globus. Given the increasing ubiquity of Globus, what emerges is the desire for a hybridised facility that utilises the UNICORE work-flow management of complex, multi-site tasks, but that can run on either UNICORE- or Globus-enabled resources. The technical challenge in achieving this, addressed in this paper, consists of mapping resource descriptions from both grid environments to an abstract format appropriate to work-flow preparation, and then the instantiation of work-flow tasks on the target systems. Other issues such as reconciling disparate security models and file transfer support are also addressed

Queen and worker unknown. DESCRIPTION Male, measurements (mm) (n = 2): HW 0.86 - 0.91 (0.91); HL 0.55 - 0.58 (0.58); SL 0.39 - 0.41 (0.41); SW 0.15 - 0.16 (0.15); EL 0.305 - 0.306 (0.305); EW 0.23 - 0.26 (0.23); OD 0.09 - 0.10 (0.09); OOD 0.15 - 0.175 (0.175); OMD 0.07 - 0.12 (0.12); OVD 0.20; PW 0.70 (0.70); ML 0.40 (0.40); PL 0.62 - 0.70 (0.70). Indices: CI 156 - 158 (158); SI 49 - 57 (57). Head almost 1.6 × as broad as long. Dorsal margin, in frontal view, concave and rounded at sides; preoccipital carina weak and not forming distinct collar. Free clypeal margin (ventral margin) slightly concave; frontal carina sharp between antennal fossae, but becoming rounded dorsad and curving laterad to form moderate swelling above antennal fossae. Mandible sickle-shaped and acute at apex, about 0.40 mm long. EL 1.3 × EW. OOD about 1.75 × OD. Scape extending to level of upper eye margin, about 3 × longer than broad; subantennal lamella prominent. Mesosoma smooth and shiny, with numerous scattered small punctures. Petiole slightly longer than broad; posterolateral corners rounded; dorsal surface shiny, ventral surface less so. First three segments of gaster smooth and shiny, following segments duller, more distinctly, finely punctate. Subgenital plate longer than broad, somewhat spatulate; apicolateral teeth prominent, median tooth small. Dorsal margin of paramere broadly triangular, margins densely clothed with long flexuous hairs. Volsella with apical fork, dorsal process large and sharp, ventral process blunt and much shorter; inner margin each segment with a minute denticle near fork; numerous long erect hairs along ventral margin. Aedeagus in profile with apically rounded posterodorsal lobe and slightly longer, out-turned sharply pointed posteroventral lobe. Color: head and mesosoma blackish brown, first two gastral segments similar, following segments becoming reddish brown on posterior segments; wings clear brownish. TYPE MATERIAL (Map 5) Holotype: U. S. A., Arizona, Santa Cruz Co., Yanks Canyon (31.42 ° N111.17 ° W), 12 - 15 Aug. 1993 (B. V. Brown and D. Feener). Paratype: U. S. A., Arizona, Cochise Co., Portal, 4800 ft., 4 Aug. 1959 (H. E. Evans). Both specimens in LACM. ETYMOLOGY This species is named for the Ndeh or Apache people of the southwestern United States and adjacent Mexico; the name pronounced approximately “ in deh ”, accenting the second syllable. DISCUSSION This minute species, currently known only from the two specimens cited above, is close in size only to N. baylori and should be readily identifiable on that basis alone. The holotype was taken in a Malaise trap and the Portal specimen was presumably taken at black light. The worker caste of this distinct species is unknown but is certainly likely to be another minute species; possibly it is N. goyahkla, described above. Neivamyrmex ndeh is superficially similar to N. microps, but is significantly smaller and with distinctive genitalic features: the crotch of the apical fork of the volsella has only two barely perceptible teeth that are well removed from each other (see discussion of N. microps).Published as part of Snelling, G.

CI 88 - 96; CNI 100 - 170; OI 24 - 30; SI 86 - 100. Worker description. Front of head smooth to weakly coriarious between fine subcontiguous punctures; gena and malar area distinctly coriarious between well-spaced punctures, many of which are smaller than on frons. Frons with 4 - 5 pairs of erect hairs, uppermost pair longest; vertex with 1 pair of suberect hairs subequal in length to longest frontal pair. Pubescence short, mostly appressed but some on side of head, especially on malar area, subappressed to reclinate. Shaft of antennal scape with appressed pubescence only. Pronotum moderately shiny and coriarious between well-separated fine piligerous punctures. Mesonotum irregularly rugulose and moderately shiny. Mesepisternum moderately shiny between short, weak, more or less longitudinal rugae anteriorly, becoming duller and colliculate posteriorly and ventrad. Propodeal dorsum so coarsely rugulose that medial carina is obscured; medial carina at summit of declivity a short, strongly elevated obtuse lobe; spiracle on well developed prominence, opening directed posterolaterad; propodeal spines short and nearly right-angular in dorsal view, distance between their outer apices less than distance between spiracles.

TYPE MATERIAL Holotype worker and numerous worker paratypes, SOUTH AFRICA, Western Cape, Grootvadersbosch (38 ° 59 ' S 20 ° 49 ' E), 16 September 1995 (H. G. Robertson), " in centre of dead tree trunk c 2.5 cm dia., 1 m above ground ", in indigenous forest. Holotype and most paratypes in SAMC; paratypes also in BMNH, CASC, LACM and MCZC. ETYMOLOGY Wood-dweller, from L., lignum (wood) + L., colo (inhabit). DISCUSSION In addition to the type series I have seen one worker, also in SAMC, collected by A. J. Prins at the same locality, October 1985 and provided with an unpublished name by Prins and Roux. The strongly elevated medial carina at the summit of the propodeal declivity, as well as the abundance of suberect to erect pilosity in combination with the lack of erect hairs on the scape shaft, will serve to distinguish this species from all others known to me.Published as part of Snelling, R.

Association between bile and acid turnover and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women
No full textObjective: The intestinal absorption of vitamin D is linked to bile acid absorption. This link may be abnormal in patients with osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible relation between osteoporosis and bile acid turnover, measured as whole-body Se-75-HCAT retention (WBR), in postmenopausal women.Patients and methods: Whole-body counts were recorded using an uncollimated gamma camera 3 h and 7 days after oral administration of Se-75-homocholic acid taurine (Se-75-HCAT) in 16 women aged 58-85 years with dual-photon X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)-proven osteoporosis. WBR was expressed as physical decay-corrected counts at 7 days as a percentage of the counts at 3 h.Results: Seven patients had unexplained diarrhoea. Six patients (five with diarrhoea) had WBR less than 19%. There was a significant difference in DEXA t-score between women with and without diarrhoea (P<0.02). There was a significant negative correlation (R s=-0.58; P<0.02) between WBR and alcohol consumption rated on a three-point scale: <1, 2-7 and >7 U/week.Conclusion: Our results indicate an association between osteoporosis and diarrhoea that may be the result of abnormal bile acid turnover. The role of alcohol requires further investigation.<br/
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
