We used two mitochondrial loci (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase subunit 4 and cytochrome oxidase II) and a nuclear locus (28S-D2 spacer) for a total of 1337 bp to evaluate the relationships among the four subspecies of Aedes (Finlaya) japonicus Theobald. Ae. j. japonicus was recently introduced into the United States and has been expanding rapidly. We also included in our analys...

Both structural and compositional modulations are important for high-performance electrode materials in energy conversion/storage devices. Here hierarchical-structure nitrogen-rich hybrid porous carbon capsules with bamboo-like carbon nanotube whiskers (N-CC@CNTs) grown in situ have been specifically designed, which combine the advantageous features of high surface area, abundant active sites, ...

OBJECTIVE We investigated the impact of several genetic variants located in genes encoding for proteins involved in biogenesis, maturation, and intravascular remodeling of high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles on plasma efflux capacity. APPROACH AND RESULTS The capacity of whole-plasma to mediate cholesterol efflux from cholesterol-loaded human THP-1 macrophages was measured in 846 individ...

Evolutionary relationships of the Pectinidae were examined using two mitochondrial genes (12S rRNA, 16S rRNA) and one nuclear gene (Histone H3) for 46 species. Outgroup taxa from Propeamussidae, Spondylidae and Limidae were...

Results. Measurable scores for both letter and grating acuity were obtained from 1694 eyes at 3 ' / 2 years and 2101 eyes at 4V2 years. Correlation analysis showed that the relation between crowded HOTV and grating acuity scores was best described by a quadratic function, with r values of 0.57 at 3 '/2 years and 0.68 at 4 '/2 years. Difference scores were calculated for each eye by subtracting ...

BACKGROUND A major source of new mutations in humans is the male germ line, with mutation rates monotonically increasing as father's age at conception advances, possibly because of accumulating replication errors in spermatogonial cell lines. METHOD We investigated whether the risk of schizophrenia was associated with advancing paternal age in a population-based birth cohort of 87 907 individ...

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the frequency and features of dual left anterior descending artery (LAD) variants using computed tomography (CT) angiography. METHODS A total of 1337 consecutive coronary CT angiography examinations performed between April 2010 and December 2013 were retrospectively evaluated for the presence of dual LAD. CT examinations were performed with either 64- or 320-row m...
