Alguns dados sobre a Fauna entomológica da ilha das Flores - Açores
IV Expedição Científica do Departamento de Biologia - Flores 1989Com este trabalho, realizado em Julho de 1989 nas Flores - a ilha mais ocidental
do Arquipélago dos Açores -, acrescentaram-se onze espécies de Lepidópteros à lista referenciada para aquela ilha, pertencendo uma à família Lycaenidae (Lampides boeticus L.), oito a familia Noctuidae (Agrotis ipsilon HFN., Brotolomia meticulosa L., Chrysodeixis chalcites ESPER., Heliothis armigera HBN., Noctua atlantica WARREN, Noctua pronuba L., Peridroma saucia HBN., Sesamia nonagrioides LEF.), uma à família Nymphalidae (Vanessa atalanta L.) e uma a família Pyralidae (Glyphodes unionalis HBN.). Entre os demais insectos, foram identificadas cerca de duas dezenas e meia de espécies, distribuídas pelas Ordens Dermaptera, Orthoptera, Dictyoptera, Heteroptera, Homoptera, Coleoptera, Neuroptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera e Collembola. Salienta-se ainda a importância, do ponto de vista agronómico, das pragas Mythimna unipuncta (HAWORTH) e Xestia c-nigrun L. naquela ilha.RÉSUMÉ: Avec ce travail, réalisé en Juillet 1989 a Flores - l'île plus occidental de l'archipel des Açores, onze espèces de Lépidoptères ont été ajoutées à la liste des espèces connus pour cette île, dont une appartient a la famille Lycaenidae (Lampides boelicus L.), huit à la famille Noctuidae (Agrotis ipsilon HFN., Brotolomia meticulosa L. Chrysodeicis chalcites ESPER., Heliothis armigera HBN., Noctua atlantica WARREN, Noctua pronuba L., Peridroma saucia HBN., Sesamia nonagrioides LEF.), une à la famille Nymphalidae (Vanessa atalanta L.) et une à la famille Pyralidae (Glyphodes unionalis HBN.). Parmi les autres insects ont été identifiés environ deux dizaines et demie d'espèces, lesquelles sont réparties par les Ordres Dermaptera, Orthoptera, Dictyoptera, Heteroptera, Homoptera, Coleoptera, Neuroptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera et Collembola. On remarque I'importance, du point de vue agronomique, des ravageurs Mythimna unipuncra (HAWORTH) et Xestia c-nigrum L. dans cette île

Nanoindentation tests on diamond-machined silicon wafers
Nanoindentation tests were performed on ultraprecision diamond-turned silicon wafers and the results were compared with those of pristine silicon wafers. Remarkable differences were found between the two kinds of test results in terms of load-displacement characteristics and indent topologies. The machining-induced amorphous layer was found to have significantly higher microplasticity and lower hardness than pristine silicon. When machining silicon in the ductile mode, we are in essence always machining amorphous silicon left behind by the preceding tool pass; thus, it is the amorphous phase that dominates the machining performance. This work indicated the feasibility of detecting the presence and the mechanical properties of the machining-induced amorphous layers by nanoindentation.journal articl

Overview of cytokine analyses.
<p>Overview of the significant associations of all analyses performed and specified per cytokine. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the groups with each other. Abbreviations: HC: healthy control. 2009 WHO classification: WS-: non-severe dengue without warning signs, WS+: non-severe dengue with warning signs, Sev: severe dengue. Plasma leakage/shock: No : no plasma leakage occured, PL: plasma leakage detected, Hemorrhage: No : no hemorrhagic symptoms, Minor: minor hemorrhage, Sev: severe hemorrhage. Temporal pattern: D1-3: day 1-3 after the onset of fever, D4-7: day 4-7 after the onset of fever, D>7: more than 7 days after the onset of fever. Cluster analysis: * only in a part of the cluster this cytokine is up- or downregulated. Conclusions: CC: clinical classification, CA: cluster analysis.</p
Viral load.
<p>A: Day of fever: All three groups differed significantly from each other with the highest levels at day 1–3 and the lowest levels at day>7 (Day 1–3 vs day 4–7 P = 0,001; day 1–3 vs day>7 P<0,0001; day 4–7 vs day>7 P = 0,006). B: 2009 WHO dengue case classification: levels in WS− patients were significantly increased compared to WS+ and severe patients (WS− vs WS+ P<0,0001; WS− vs severe P = 0,001). Abbreviations: WS−: non-severe dengue without warning signs, WS+: non-severe dengue with warning signs. Horizontal bars inside the boxplot indicate the median. The box indicates the interquartile range. Black asterisk = significantly different from all other groups. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the groups with each other.</p
IL-6, IL-8, IL-2R and RANTES are associated with mortality.
<p>A: IL-6: Levels are significantly elevated in non-survivors compared to survivors (P<,0,0001). B: IL-2R: Levels are significantly elevated in non-survivors compared to survivors (P = 0,005). C: G-CSF: Levels are significantly elevated in non-survivors compared to survivors (P = 0,001). D: RANTES: Levels are significantly decreased in non-survivors compared to survivors (P = 0,005). Underlined black asterisk = significant difference between two groups. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the groups with each other.</p
Heatmap of cluster analysis.
<p>A cluster analysis was performed with 23 cytokines, which resulted in a dendrogram indicated on the left of the heatmap. Every horizontal line indicates one patients. The vertical bar on the left of the heatmap indicates the disease severity of the patient. A: Cluster with mainly healthy controls and four dengue patients. B: Cluster with mild to moderately ill dengue virus infected patients. C: Cluster with severely ill dengue virus infected patients. Abbreviations: 1: non-severe dengue without warning signs. 2: non-severe dengue with warning signs. 3: severe dengue. +: patient died within 14 days after the onset of fever.</p
