the development times and the survival rates of different stages of habrobracon hebetor say reared on the last instar larvae of galleria mellonella (l.) were compared at ten different constant temperatures (16 - 38 âºc). the development time of immature stages of the parasitoid, h. hebetor, decreased as the temperature increased in the range of 16 to 38 âºc. however, no larvae could survive and...

The LEP results for the eeective mixing angle sin 2 lept ef f from measurements of the inclusive charge ow in hadronic Z decays are presented. Using the very precise LEP data on exclusive and inclusive particle spectra to constrain the predictions of hadronization models systematic uncertainties have been reduced. The combined LEP result is sin 2 lept ef f = 0:2320 0:0010.

Several studies have shown the important actions of cytokine leptin that regulates food intake and energy expenditure. Additionally, the ability to modulate hematopoiesis has also been demonstrated. Previous reports have shown that some synthetic sequences of leptin molecules can activate leptin receptor. Herein, decapeptides encompassing amino acids from positions 98 to 122 of the leptin molec...

In 1993 LEP performed a scan at three energy points around the Z 0 mass, with the primary aim of substantially improving the errors on M Z and ? z. The results of the preliminary lineshape analyses of the 4 LEP experiments are presented here, together with the combined LEP averages. The Z 0 mass and width are determined as M Z = 91:1899 0:0017 exp 0:004 lep Gev and ? z = 2:4971 0:0027 exp 0:002...

Painful stimuli delivered by infrared laser stimulators elicit laser-evoked potentials (LEP) or magnetic fields in respective electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetoencephalogram (MEG). Evidence is reviewed that LEP represent a series of event-related potentials (ERP) that depend on vigilance and arousal, selective spatial attention and contextual task variables. Paradigms adopted from other sti...

LEP results have constrained heavily the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, while providing hints for light Higgs boson and for “SUSY-assisted” gauge couling unification. In this paper the results obtained at LEP within two scenarios, the gravity-mediated MSSM framework and the minimal SUGRA scenario are presented. Model-dependence and coverage of LEP results is discussed. Preprint USIP-2/2002

Bostra Stål (Phasmida, Diapheromeridae) is a junior homonym of Walker (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae). The replacement name Bostranova Villet nomen nov. proposed for Stål, and new combinations are the species-group names currently included in that phasmid genus.

Congenital leptin deficiency is a rare recessively inherited condition due to homozygous mutations in the LEP gene. To date, only nine mutations have been identified in the LEP gene (p.L72S, p.N103K, p.R105W, p.H118L, p.S141C, c.104_106delTCA, c.135del3bp, c.398delG and c.481_482delCT). In this study we present a novel homozygous nonsense mutation (W121X) in LEP in a twelve year old obese male ...
