In describing a new species of land crab, Discoplax celeste, from Christmas Island, eastern Indian Ocean, Ng & Davie (2012: 95) selected a neotype for the related Discoplax hirtipes (Dana, 1851), originally described from Fiji as a species of Cardisoma Latreille, 1828. They commented that the type material was no longer extant and a neotype was necessary to stabilise the taxonomy of the species...

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is a gold-standard element of evaluation of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), a disease of exercise. The initial rationale for cardiologists was that peak oxygen uptake (peakVO2) served as a surrogate of cardiac output. The breakthrough of CPX, however, came when Mancini’s group showed that the prognostic importance of a peakVO2 threshold of 14 mL...

A new operator is considered, allowing compact formulae and proofs in the context of the derivation of a transfer matrix with respect to another matrix. The problem of the parametric sensitivity matrix calculation is chosen for illustration. It consists in deriving a Multiple Input Multiple Output transfer function with respect to a parametric matrix and is central in robust control theory. Eff...

—A new species of Eleutherodactylus is described from the Serranı́a de Pirre, Darién Province, Panama. This species is similar to Eleutherodactylus altae and Eleutherodactylus pardalis, but can be differentiated by the lack of red or white spots on groin and limbs. RESUMEN.—Se describe una especie nueva de Eleutherodactylus de la Serranı́a de Pirre, Provincia de Darién, Panamá. Esta especie se as...

We assessed the relative effectiveness of pitfal ls , s ingle-ended, and double-ended funnel traps at 12 replicate sites in sand pine scrub using drift fence arrays. Pitfalls captured fewer species but yielded more individuals of many species and higher average species r ichness than funnel traps. Pit fal ls and funnel traps exhibited differential capture bias probably due to differences in beh...

S ingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene are well known risk variants for type 2 diabetes (1). The best studied SNP is rs7903146, which is additionally associated with insulin secretion (2) and BMI (3). We furthermore reported that this variant influenced weight loss during the Tübingen Lifestyle Intervention Program (TULIP) such that carrie...
