Color preference of Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart) (Diptera, Tephritidae). The color preference of A. obliqua was evaluated in two-choice tests. The results showed that both sexes were attracted to wavelengths ranging from 340 nm to 670 nm, although the broad major peak of attraction occurred between 380 and 570 nm.

Sub-50fs transform limited pulses are produced in the 670-1050nm range by compressing sections of the ultrabroadband supercontinuum generated in a tapered fiber injected with pulses from a cavity dumped Ti:Sapphire laser. 2-Photon imaging of fluorescent beads is demonstrated. Biological and chemical applications are discussed.

The oxidation behaviour of pure magnesium in hexafluoropropylene/air atmosphere at 670-800 °C was investigated by TG, XRD, SEM and EDS. Results show that the rate molten increased with increase temperature decrease HFP concentration. film formed on melt surface mainly consisted MgF2, MgO, C.

To the Editor: With some degree of amazement, we read the article by Kashy et al.1 on the influence of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 670/0.75 (Hextend; Hospira Inc., USA) on perioperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. The data are derived from a database of more than 120,000 patients treated in Cleveland hospitals, in which 6% HES 670/0.75 was the most commonly u...

OBJECTIVE Deregulation of FAS/FASL system may lead to immune escape and influence bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy outcome, which is currently the gold standard adjuvant treatment for high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder tumors. Among other events, functional promoter polymorphisms of FAS and FASL genes may alter their transcriptional activity. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the rol...

The frequency-dependent group delay of dielectric mirrors was measured by spectrally resolved white-light interferometry. Chirped mirrors and thin-film Gires-Tournois interferometers designed for dispersion control in a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser oscillator-amplifier system were tested with a group-delay resolution of +/-0.2 fs and a spectral resolution of ~1 nm over the spectral range of 67...
