Analysis of chemical signals in red fire ants by gas chromatography and pattern recognition techniques

Gas chromatographic (GC) profiles of cuticular hydrocarbon extracts obtained from individual and pooled ant samples were analyzed using pattern recognition techniques. Clustering according to the biological variables of social caste and colony were observed. Pooling individual extracts enhanced the recognition of patterns in the GC profile data characteristic of colony. Evidently, the contribution of the ant's individual pattern to the overall hydrocarbon profile pattern can obscure information about colony in the GC traces of cuticular hydrocarbon extracts obtained from red fire ants. Re-analysis of temporal caste and time period data on the cuticular hydrocarbon patterns demonstrates that sampling time and social caste must be taken into account to avoid unnecessary variability and possible confounding. This and the fact that foragers could not be separated from reserves and brood-tenders in all five laboratory colonies studied suggests that cuticular hydrocarbons as a class of sociochemicals cannot model every facet of nestmate recognition in Solenopsis invicta which in turn suggests a potential role for other compounds in the discrimination of alien conspecifics from nestmates.     

Direct Carousel Flight Calorimeter for Metabolic Investigations of Small Insects

An isoperibolic heat flow calorimeter is described for the determination of heat production rates during the tethered flight of small insects such as flies, honeybees or hornets. The insects are fixed with their thoraces to one arm of a low-friction carousel. A sensor counts the number of revolutions per time and determines the speed of flight. Wing sound is monitored by a microphone with an audio recorder, so that wing beat frequencies and hence locomotor activities can be determined. Different illumination means are incorporated to guarantee the illumination levels necessary for flight.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

EFFECT OF FISH MOVEMENT AND FLEET SPATIAL BEHAVIOR ON MANAGEMENT OF FISH SUBSTOCKS

I investigated the questions (i) how much movement of fish between areas within a stock is required before the areas can be managed jointly instead of separately and (ii) how is the trade-off between separate and joint management affected by the spatial behavior of the fishing fleet? I addressed these questions using a simulation model of a fishery on a stock that is divided into two areas (substocks) between which fish can move. Under joint management, fleet spatial behavior is characterized by its “switching level,” or the biomass level in the currently fished area at or below which the fleet will switch to the other area. Catch levels were calculated under both separate and joint management for a range of movement rates and switching levels. I also studied the effect of differences in natural mortality rates between the two areas. When the natural mortality rates were the same for the two areas, (i) separate management resulted in higher catch than joint management, (ii) joint management only approached the catch of separate management when movement rate of fish between the two areas was very high, (iii) the difference between separate and joint management was greatest when (a) the switching level of the joint fleet was low (i.e., inertia was high) and (b) the joint fleet had a preference for one area. When natural mortality rate was different in the two areas, and (i) the joint fleet did not prefer one area, (a) separate management produced higher catches at low fish movement rates while joint management produced higher catches at high movement rates and (b) switching level had no effect on catch, and (ii) when the fleet had a preference for the area with the higher natural mortality rate, separate management resulted in higher catches than joint management, and the difference increased with increasing fish movement rate. These simulations suggest that the relative merits of separate and joint management of two areas depends on the assumptions one makes about the spatial behavior of the fishing fleet. This behavior is as important as movement of fish between the areas, which is normally assumed to be the overriding determinant of the relative merits of separate and joint management.

The Relationship Between Chronic Cough and Paradoxical Vocal Fold Movement: A Review of the Literature

SUMMARY: Chronic cough (CC) and paradoxical vocal fold movement (PVFM) are debilitating conditions. PVFM has been given many labels, including vocal cord dysfunction, Munchausen's stridor, functional inspiratory stridor, nonorganic functional or psychogenic upper airway obstruction, factitious asthma, psychogenic stridor, emotional laryngeal wheezing, and episodic laryngeal dyskinesia. Although CC and PVFM have been considered separate entities in many reports, there is preliminary support for the notion that there may be an underlying link between these two conditions. Speech pathologists have become increasingly involved in the treatment of these patients and therefore need to understand the theoretical background of these disorders, the pathophysiological links between the two, and the impact of voice disorders on these populations. The aim of this article is to review the current literature on CC and PVFM from a speech pathology perspective to provide a model for defining and conceptualizing the disorders and to provide a framework for management and future research.

On the Movement of Transitive Permutation p-Groups

Let G be a transitive permutation group on a set and m a positive integer. If | – | m for every subset of and all g G, then || 2mp/(p – 1) where p is the least odd prime dividing |G|. It was shown by Mann and Praeger [13] that, for p = 3, the 3-groups G which attain this bound have exponent p. In this paper we will show a generalization of this result for any odd primes.AMS Subject Classification (2000), 20BXX     

Mechanical analysis of orbit tracking movement of feed system in large spherical radio-telescope

The curve equation and its mechanics analysis of suspended-cable under the condition of end load are given. Then on the basis of it, the mechanical analysis of suspended-cable system for large spherical radio-telescope is studied, and procedures of the control for the orbit tracking movement of the line feed in large spherical radiotelescope are given. The validity of the results mentioned above is confirmed by means of computer simulations.
