A new species of indotyphlid caecilian amphibian, Gegeneophis tejaswini sp. nov., is described based on eight specimens from lowlands of the most northerly district of the state of Kerala in the southern part of the Western Ghats region, India. This species is distinguished from all other Gegeneophis in annulation characters and genetics (> 6% different from most similar nominal species for ...

Wireless networks are commonly used by people. Market devices are equipped with the new security standard 802.11i. The standard announced in the middle of 2004 is commonly used to protect WLANs. Currently we can find the information that vulnerabilities were found in that standard. Then a question arises: Are WLANs compromised again? The article describes vulnerabilities which were discovered i...

1. A maximum of 15 loci from five genera of caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona or Apoda) were examined. Species include lchthyophis glutinosus, Geotrypetes seraphini, Caecilia occidentalis, Gymnopis multiplicata, and Dermophis mexicanus. 2. The data indicate that [chtkyophis (family Ichthyophiidae) is less closely related than are the other genera (members of the family Caeciliidae). Dermophis a...

In west Africa, the alarming rate of land use intensification and the assumed deterioration of parkland species calls for assessments of locally valued non-timber forest product (NTFP) yielding populations. This study focused on the baobab tree, Adansonia digitata Linn., in Cinzana, Mali. Here by conducting biological inventories in different land use types and interviews we addressed the follo...

Beginning around 1990, disability rates of children, as reported by their parents, began to increase. At the same time, a major expansion of Medicaid eligibility to children outside of the welfare population was taking place. Data from multiple panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation are used to estimate the influence of the expansion policy on parental reporting of children's ...

in a fellow-eye-controlled trial, we compared the posterior capsule opacification (pco) rates of single-piece (sa60at) and three-piece (ma60ac) hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (iol) in 54 pair-matched eyes of 27 age-related cataract patients who consecutively underwent bilateral (4-8 weeks apart) phacoemulsification horizontal chopping performed through a capsulorrhexis of approximately ...
