A new species of Brevitobrilus Tsalolikhin, Brevitobrilus montanus n. sp., found in high mountain lakes and rivers in Granada, Spain, is described. Additional data on Brevitobrilus granatensis (Ocafia &Zullini, 1988) n. comb. are provided. Brevitobrilus raontanus n. sp. is characterized by moderate size (1.3-1.8 mm), amphid aperture width one-quarter the head width, subterminal seta distance fr...

A Jewish-Iranian family suffered from lipoid proteinosis. The 8 affected siblings were from consanguineous matings and presented a wide range of phenotypic expressions. Minimal manifestations in 2 heterozygote carriers and the possibility of autosomal recessive inheritance are discussed.

The aim of this study has been to assess the clinical presentation and biochemical profile of lipoid proteinosis within a defined pedigree. Glycoprotein analysis was compared to normal values in an attempt to define a biochemical phenotype. Six affected family members were identified with variable degrees of disease expression. The most likely mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive due to c...

The power conversion efficiency of solar cells strongly depends on the open-circuit voltage which, in turn, recombination activity within device. A possible source detrimental charge carrier is band tails. An empirical linear relationship between loss and Urbach energy tails has been shown past. Here we discuss how influence radiative nonradiative bulk absorber. First, show through photolumines...

The validity of the published description of Hyla rufitela is questioned because the origin of the described tadpoles does not correspond to the distribution of this species. The present description, based on tadpoles that were hatched from two egg masses from the Caribbean lowland of Costa Rica, includes tadpoles raised to adult frogs to verify the species. The newly described tadpoles differ ...
