Balkanopetalum beskovi Strasser 1973
No full textBalkanopetalum beskovi Strasser, 1973 Figs 79. Type locality: ‘Topchika Höhle bei Dobrostan’. Literature records: Topchika Cave near Dobrostan (Strasser, 1973: 429); Yamata Cave near Dobrostan; Hralupa Cave near Dobrostan; Druzhba Pot hole near Dobrostan (Beron, 1994: 83). Strasser (1973: 429) referred his earlier (Strasser 1969: 145) record of rhodopinum juveniles from Garvanyovitsa Cave near Turen to beskovi, but the identity of these specimens remains uncertain. Material examined (all from Bulgaria): 2 MM, 3 FF, 3 juv., Asenovgrad District, Dobrostan Village, Topchika Cave, 19.02.1997, T. Ivanova leg.; 4 MM, 12 FF (2 MM, 2 FF, ZMUC), same village, Druzhba Pot hole, 26.09.1992, P. Beron leg.; 1 M, 1F, same village, Hralupa Cave, 10.06.1961, G. Bachvarov leg.; several subad., same locality, 24.08.1970, C. Delchev leg.; 1F, 1 subad., same village, Yamata Cave, 17.07.1961, G. Bachvarov leg.; 2 FF, same village, Pirkovskata Cave, 1,200 m alt., clay, 20.10.2001, B. Petrov, V. Beshkov leg.; 2 FF, 1 juv., Mostovo Village, Zmiin burun Pot hole, 980 m alt., 18.04.1993, P. Stoev leg. Diagnosis. This species differs from its congeners by the following combination of characters: The anterior coxal process has a small tooth at its base; the posterior coxal process is straight; the femoroid has a basal tooth; the ovoid plate is thin and sharpened; the distal femoroid process is black, medially incised with two well developed lateral processes; the solenomerite is trifid (Figs 7, 8). The prefemur of male 7th legpair is moderately swollen mesally (Fig. 9). Chaetotaxy, see Table 3. Notes. This species occurs in caves and pot holes in the karst massif of Dobrostan, the central part of the Rhodopi Mts. Beron (1972, 1994) referred to this species as B. beshkovi Strasser, since the name of the person, which it honors is currently transliterated as Beshkov. However, Strasser (1973) transliterated the name as Beškov and in the specific name correctly omitted the diacritical mark over the "s". B. beskovi coexists with typical cavedwellers like Cordioniscus schmalfussi Andreev, 2002 (Isopoda), Rhodopioniscus beroni (Vandel, 1965) (Isopoda), Trichoniscus rhodopiense Vandel, 1965 (Isopoda), Troglohyphantes bureschianus Deltshev, 1975 (Araneae), and Histopona tranteevi Deltshev, 1978 (Araneae).Published as part of Stoev, Pavel & Enghoff, Henrik, 2003, Systematics, phylogeny and biogeography of genus Balkanopetalum Verhoeff, 1926 (Diplopoda: Callipodida: Schizopetalidae), pp. 1-26 in Zootaxa 272 (1) on page 10, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.272.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/501436

Caucaseuma Strasser 1970
No full textGenus Caucaseuma Strasser, 1970 Diagnosis. Differs from the obviously most similar genus Paranotosoma gen. nov. by the presence of two flagelliform coxal processes on the posterior gonopods, from the genus Heterocaucaseuma gen. nov. by the presence of anterior shield-like processes of the anterior gonopods. Description. Body length 8–20 mm; number of body segments 28 or 30 in adults (including telson). Epigean species with pigmented body, vs. species known only from caves being yellowish white or with bodies with reduced pigmentation. Head without frontal depression in males. Antennae and walking legs normal; somewhat elongated in cave-dwelling species. Lateral keels better developed in species known in caves, like lateral swellings. Macrochaetae relatively long to long, trichoid. Leg-pairs 3–7 in males enlarged, with or without peculiarities on leg-pair 7. Leg-pairs 10 and 11 in males with coxal glands, with neither any coxal horns nor processes. Anterior gonopods with a medial, subtriangular and hairy sternal sac (ss) arising from sternal plate (sp) on anterior side. Coxal processes divided into anterior and posterior parts. Anterior coxal processes (cp) wide and shield-like, posterior one (pp) mainly in the form of a complex lever. Posterior gonopods with completely divided coxites (c). Posterolateral sides with small telopodites (t). Coxal vesicles (cv) present on anterior side. Both coxites bearing a pair of whip-like coxal processes (cp). Distribution. Abkhazia, Georgia, Russia (Fig. 168, circles). Type species. Caucaseuma lohmanderi Strasser, 1970, by original designation. Included species. Caucaseuma elephantum sp. nov. Caucaseuma fanagoriyskaya sp. nov. Caucaseuma glabroscutum sp. nov. Caucaseuma kelasuri sp. nov. Caucaseuma lohmanderi Strasser, 1970 Caucaseuma minellii sp. nov.

Characterization of aldosterone binding sites in circulating human mononuclear leukocytes.
No full textAldosterone binding sites in human mononuclear leukocytes were characterized after separation of cells from blood by a Percoll gradient. After washing and resuspension in RPMI-1640 medium, cells were incubated at 37 degrees C for 1 h with different concentrations of [3H]aldosterone plus a 100-fold concentration of RU-26988 (11 alpha, 17 alpha-dihydroxy-17 beta-propynylandrost-1,4,6-trien-3-one), with or without an excess of unlabeled aldosterone. Aldosterone binds to a single class of receptors with an affinity of 2.7 +/- 0.5 nM (means +/- SD, n = 14) and a capacity of 290 +/- 108 sites/cell (n = 14). The specificity data show a hierarchy of affinity of desoxycorticosterone = corticosterone = aldosterone greater than hydrocortisone greater than dexamethasone. The results indicate that mononuclear leukocytes could be useful for studying the physiological significance of these mineralocorticoid receptors and their regulation in humans
Nockenfranz Franz Albert: Tuner, Rennfahrer, Konstrukteur
No full textIn den 1960er Jahren fuhr der sportliche Fahrer auf PS-Kur zu Franz Albert in Wörgl. Seine scharfen Nockenwellen fanden sich in biederen Alltagsmotoren und verwandelten Sportwagen in potente Feuerstühle. Seine Auspufftöpfe waren so populär wie die von Carlo Abarth. Er konstruierte und baute den Albert RS. Der markante Schnauzbart saß im Cockpit von Porsche Spyder, Ford GT 40, Brabham Formel 1, Chevy Camaro und BMW Turbo, er fuhr Rennen auf Berg, Flugplatzkurs und Rundstrecke. Franz Albert steuerte Rennboote und designte Luxusyachten. Geschwindigkeit, Vielfalt und Innovation standen auf seiner Visitenkarte. Der Motorsport-Historiker Siegfried C. Strasser erzählt die pralle Geschichte eines rasanten Lebens
