Larval development of Chthamalus malayensis (Cirripedia: Thoracica) reared in the laboratory

Larvae of Chthamalus malayensis (Cirripedia: Thoracica) from Hong Kong were cultured in the laboratory. Larval development includes six naupliar stages and a non-feeding cypris stage. Larvae reached the cypris stage in 20 d at [similar]21°C compared to 14 d at [similar]28°C. Morphological features including the cephalic shield, frontal horns, labrum, abdominal process, antennules, antennae and mandibles in all nauplius and cypris stages were described and illustrated using a combination of light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Attempts were made to compare morphological differences between the nauplii and cyprid of C. malayensis with those of other Chthamalus species including C. stellatus, C. montagui, C. dentatus, C. fragilis, C. dalli, C. antennatus, C. fissus and C. challengeri. The present description of the nauplii of C. malayensis is not in agreement with the previous description of this species.published_or_final_versio

Is the expressive vocabulary of young Cantonese speakers noun or verb dominated?

The spontaneous utterances produced by 492 Cantonese-speaking children aged 36-60 months in 30-minute toy play contexts were collected. The incidence and percentage of different lexical classes, the ratio of noun and verb types and tokens were calculated. A statistically significant predominance of verb usage was found in the expressive utterances of the children. No similar predominance was found for nouns. Linguistic, cultural and contextual variables possibly underlying these outcomes are explored and discussed.postprin

Long-term survival after intraluminal brachytherapy for inoperable hilar cholangiocarcinoma: A case report

Surgical resection with a tumor-free margin is the only curative treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin tumor). However, over half of the patients present late with unresectable tumors. Radiotherapy using external beam irradiation or intraluminal brachytherapy (ILBT) has been used to treat unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma with satisfactory outcome. We reported a patent with unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma surviving more than 6 years after combined external beam irradiation and ILBT. © 2005 The WJG Press and Elsevier Inc.

Pixel super-resolution in serial time-encoded amplified microscopy (STEAM)

Paper no. CTu3J.4We propose pixel super-resolution serial time-encoded amplified microscopy (STEAM) for achieves high speed and high-resolution imaging - relaxing the stringent requirement on the digitizer bandwidth while preserving the ultrahigh frame-rate (>MHz). © 2012 OSA.published_or_final_versio
