The genus Cratyna Winnertz, 1867 (Diptera: Sciaridae) is studied in the Korean peninsula. Cratyna (s. str.) suwonensis Shin, Menzel & Lee sp. nov. is described as new to science. Additionally, three species are redescribed and illustrated as new to Korea: C. (s. str.) ambigua (Lengersdorf, 1934), C. (s. str.) nigerrima (Mohrig & Krivosheina, 1979), and C. (Peyerimhoffia) vagabunda (Winnertz, 18...

Before a new STR system or STR multiplex may be routinely employed in human identity testing it should be extensively validated to insure reliability of results. We have included below many of the validation studies which have appeared in the literature. We hope this material will help future researchers design their validation studies and allow those who use common STR systems to review what s...

Simple Tabular Reduction algorithms (STR) work well to establish Generalized Arc Consistency (GAC) on positive table constraints. However, the existing STR algorithms are useless for negative table constraints. In this work, we propose a novel STR algorithm and its improvement, which work on negative table constraints. Our preliminary experiments are performed on some random instances and a cer...

OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic disease for which disease-modifying therapies are not currently available. Studies to seek new targets for slowing the progress of OA rely on mouse models, but these do not allow for longitudinal monitoring of disease development. This study was undertaken to determine whether gait can be used to measure disease severity in the STR/Ort mouse mod...
