The East Palaearctic and North Oriental species of the genus Psyttalia Walker (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Opiinae) are reviewed. Three new species are described and illustrated: Psyttalia latinervis Wu & van Achterberg, sp. n. and Psyttalia majocellata Wu & van Achterberg, sp. n. from China, and Psyttalia spectabilis van Achterberg, sp. n. from Japan. Coeloreuteus formosanus Watanabe, 1934, Opius...

Thomson et al. (1) recently used analyses of modern and ancient chicken DNA in an attempt to overturn evidence of Polynesian dispersal of chickens to pre-Columbian South America. There are, however, significant methodological and statistical problems in the analyses carried out by Thomson et al., problems that seriously undermine their conclusions. Thomson et al. (1) conduct an approximate Baye...

Factors associated with choice of first biologic among children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a combined analysis from two UK paediatric biologic registers Rebecca Davies, Lianne Kearsley-Fleet, Eileen Baildam, Michael W.

An atypical new species of Hypocaccus C. Thomson, H. hirsutus sp. nov. from south India is described and figured, but left unassigned to a subgenus. Current problems of taxonomy, morphological characters and inter-relationships of Hypocaccus subgenera are discussed and notes on the distribution of Hypocaccus C. Thomson, 1867 in India are given.

A 263-nm Thomson-scattering beam was used to directly probe two-plasmon-decay (TPD) excited electron plasma waves (EPWs) driven by between two and five 351-nm beams on the OMEGA Laser System. The amplitude of these waves was nearly independent of the number of drive beams at constant overlapped intensity, showing that the observed EPWs are common to the multiple beams. In an experimental config...

Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS)(OMIM 268400) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis characterized by poikiloderma, small stature, skeletal and dental abnormalities, cataract and an increased risk of cancer. It is caused by mutations in RECQL4 at 8q24. Immune deficiency is not described as a classical feature of the disease. Here we report the appearance of granulomatous skin lesions compl...

The generation of ultra-short x-rays by Thomson scattering intense laser pulses from electron beams is discussed, including recent experimental results and methods for enhancing the x-ray flux. A high flux of x-rays in a femtosecond pulse requires the generation of femtosecond electron bunches and a head-on Thomson scattering geometry. The generation of ultrashort electron bunches in a plasmaba...

The Eigenfactor Metrics provide an alternative way of evaluating scholarly journals based on an iterative ranking procedure analogous to Google’s PageRank algorithm. These metrics have recently been adopted by Thomson-Reuters and are listed alongside the Impact Factor in the Journal Citation Reports. But do these metrics differ sufficiently so as to be a useful addition to the bibliometric tool...
