Abstract: Purpose. To evaluate the short-term effect of standard automated perimetry (SAP) testing on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Methods. We tested 45 patients (71 eyes) with OAG that had stable IOP under medical treatment. IOP was measured four times using an iCare rebound tonometer (RBT) immediately before, immediately after, 10 minutes after, and 20 minutes after SAP testing. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the relationships among SAP test duration, mean deviation of the SAP result, type of glaucoma medications, patient age, and significant IOP change (exceeding 2?mmHg) from baseline IOP. Results. The mean baseline IOP was 13.29 ± 3.06?mmHg. Although IOP changes immediately and 20 minutes after SAP testing were not statistically significant, the IOP change 10 minutes after SAP testing (?0.57 ± 1.84?mmHg) was statistically significant. However, the changes were within the margin of error of the RBT. Test duration, mean deviation, patient age, and type of glaucoma medications did not have a significant influence on IOP change (all ). Conclusions. IOP measured by RBT did not vary significantly after SAP testing in patients with OAG. It may be not necessary to reject IOP measured after SAP testing in patients with OAG. 1. Introduction Intraocular pressure (IOP) remains the only treatable risk factor for the management of glaucoma. Repeated IOP measurement and standard automated perimetry (SAP) testing are simple but fundamental procedures used to assess the stage of progression and to determine adequate treatment for patients with glaucoma [1, 2]. On a daily basis in our practice, IOP is measured after SAP testing. Afterward, both the SAP results and IOP are discussed with the patients, and their treatment strategies for glaucoma may be adjusted. There is a possibility that visual field examination performed before IOP measurement using both topical anesthetics and fluorescein dye affects the IOP values, misleading the clinician to strengthen the patients’ glaucoma treatment plan. Currently, there is no consensus in the literature about the effects of SAP testing on IOP. One prospective study reported that IOP varied significantly and tended to increase immediately after SAP testing in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), but other studies have reported no significant difference [3–5]. But, there was no trial that evaluates serial changes of IOP values through timeline after SAP testing. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the short-term effects of SAP testing on IOP

Abstract: In this study, a new species, Dimorphostylis breviplicata n. sp. is described and illustrated on the basis of specimens collected from the shallow Korean waters. This new species is similar to Dimorphostylis brevicaudata (Zimmer, 1903), Dimorphostylis acroplicata Harada, 1960 and Dimorphostylis valida Gamo, 1962 in that the carapace has three pairs of oblique ridges on the surface. However, the new species is distinguished by the combination of the following features: the middle oblique ridge is short and not joined to the other oblique ridges; the transverse ridge is absent on the frontal lobe; the dorso-median process on the pereonite 5 is only barely visible; the male telson has no short stout seta on the both lateral margins; the length ratio of the first to remaining articles combined on the male uropod is 1 : 0.7. A key to the Korean Dimorphostylis species is provided. Also, Diastylis alaskensis Calman, 1912 is redescribed as a new recorded species of the Korean fauna.

Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity , 2012, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5635/ased.2012.28.1.054
Abstract: This study dealt with cumacean specimens collected from the shallow waters of the South Sea and East Sea, Korea. Campylaspis fusiformis Gamo, 1960 belonging to the family Nannastacidae is newly recorded to Korean fauna. This species resembles C. pumila and C. striata in having a similar body form and a pair of narrow lateral sulcuses on the carapace, but it is easily distinguished from them by the dactylus of the pereopod 2 which is more than 3.5 times the length of the propodus and bears many setae (about 20) on the surface. This species mainly occurs in the Korean and Japanese waters.

Abstract: Mozart K.448 has been shown to improve cognitive function, leading to what is known as the Mozart Effect. Our previous work reveals positive effects of Mozart K.448 in reducing epileptiform discharges in epileptic children. In this study, we evaluated the effect of Mozart K.545 and compared the effects with those of Mozart K.448 on epileptiform discharges in children with epilepsy. Thirty-nine epileptic children with epileptiform discharges were included in the study. They received electroencephalogram examinations before, during, and after listening to Mozart K.448 and K.545, one week apart, respectively. The frequencies of epileptiform discharges were compared. There was a significant decrease in the frequency of epileptiform discharges during and right after listening to Mozart K.448 and K.545 (reduced by % during Mozart K.448 and % after Mozart K.448; and % during Mozart K.545 and % after Mozart K.545). Spectrogrammatic analysis of the two pieces of music demonstrated that both share similar spectrogrammatic characteristics. Listening to Mozart K.448 and K.545 decreased the epileptiform discharges in epileptic children. This suggests that Mozart K.448 is not the only piece of music to have beneficial effects on children with epilepsy. Other music with lower harmonics may also decrease epileptiform discharges in epileptic children. 1. Introduction Music has been used to improve physical and mental illnesses. Rauscher et al. first report the “Mozart Effect” in 1993. They note that Stanford-Binet spatial task scores improve immediately after listening to Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos in D major, K.448 (Mozart K.448) for ten minutes, when compared to the same time of silence or relaxation instruction [1]. Rauscher suggests that cognitive processing is improved by listening to Mozart’s music. Subsequent studies demonstrate the beneficial effects of listening to music for many neurologic diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, senile dementia, and sleep disorder [2–4]. Regarding epilepsy, Hughes et al. and our previous study show that the epileptiform discharges decrease when listening to Mozart K.448 in patients with epilepsy [5, 6]. In addition, our study shows that harmonics are associated with decreasing epileptiform discharges. However, whether Mozart K.448 is the only piece of music that can effectively reduce epileptiform discharges remains unclear. In the present study, we used another piece of Mozart’s music, Mozart Piano Sonata No. 16 in C major (Mozart K.545), with similar harmonics to Mozart K.448, to study the role of the harmonics of the

Abstract: Lotus-type porous copper with long cylindrical pores aligned parallel to the solidification direction was studied for use as an antibacterial material. The antibacterial performance of lotus-type porous copper samples with different specific surface areas against Escherichia coli was investigated. The results confirmed that the antibacterial effect gradually increased with specific surface area. The correlation between the pore structure of lotus-type porous metals and their antibacterial effect was also analyzed in detail. Our research proposes a new application of these metals in the water purifying system. 1. Introduction In addition to offering convenience and many lifestyle options, industrial development has caused serious environmental contamination, especially water pollution, which increases the growth of various bacteria, viruses, and protozoa that cause water-borne diseases. Removal of disease-causing organisms from drinking water is, therefore, extremely important for human health. There are several conventional chemical disinfectants such as chlorine and its derivatives and ozone [1]. However, many of these agents are carcinogens with potential harmful side effects [2]. In this regard, several researchers have recently investigated the use of inorganic antibacterial materials such as silver and copper to inhibit microbial growth. In particular, research studies on porous antibacterial materials are well under way because the antibacterial effect is proportionate to the increase in surface area [3–5]. Shen et al. [3] evaluated the antibacterial characteristics of porous ceramic composites that were decorated with ultrafine silver (II) oxide particles and fabricated by chemical oxidation. Chen et al. [4] examined Cu-TiO2 nanocomposites that could be created by photocatalytic reduction and studied their antibacterial performance in the absence of light. Lotus-type (or Gasar) porous metals [6, 7], which have long cylindrical pores aligned parallel to the solidification direction, have many advantages over other materials for antibacterial applications. For example, the specific surface area of these metals can be easily controlled by manipulating the porosity and pore diameter [6, 8–10]. These metals also exhibit high fluid permeability because of their low pressure drop [6, 11]. In addition, they are easy to manufacture and are suited for mass production because their fabrication is based on the casting process [6, 8, 10]. However, the antibacterial performance of lotus-type porous metals has not been evaluated. Here, we show the antibacterial

Evolution of Galactic Nuclei with 10 $M_\odot$ Black Holes

Abstract: A star with main sequence mass greater than $25\sim 30\msun$ may collapse to a black hole of about 10 $\msun$ at the final stage of the evolution. About an order of 1\% of stellar mass is likely to be in form of such black holes in galaxies. We have examined the dynamics of two-component stellar systems composed of 0.7 $\msun$ main-sequence stars, representing the old population of stars whose main-sequence lifetimes are longer than the Hubble time, and a small fraction of 10 $\msun$ black holes. The dynamical friction leads to the segregation of black holes to the core and the core collapse takes place among the black holes in a time scale much shorter than that required for a single component cluster. The ultimate evolution of the two-component stellar system depends on the role of three-body binaries formed among the black holes. For a system with $v\gta 100\kms$ binaries merge by gravitational radiation at some hardness instead of being ejected. The critical hardness, at which the collision time and the merger time become comparable, determines the efficiency of the binary as a heat source. The efficiency is found to be inversely proportional to the velocity dispersion. For the clusters without serious reduction in heating efficiency (i.e., velocity dispersion well below 500 $\kms$), heating by three-body binaries have the effect of stopping the core-collapse. The cluster
Christ’s Π?στι? vs. Caesar’s Fides: Π?στι? Χριστο? in Galatians and the Roman Imperial Cult

Abstract: This study examines the meaning of π?στι? Χριστο? with respect to the political and religious situations of Paul’s Galatian recipients, including the issue of circumcision. When the apostle sent his letter to the Galatian churches, the Gentile believers were returning to the Roman imperial cult; by doing so, they were accepting the emperor as the ultimate authority and benefactor and incorporated into the reciprocity of fides. Through π?στι? Χριστο?, our apostle criticised and superseded this Roman imperial ideology and the imperial cult. Paul’s π?στι? Χριστο? was intended to advocate Christ’s faithfulness in opposition to Caesar’s faithfulness. He exhorted the recipients to live in a relationship of π?στι? with Christ, not Caesar. Christ’s faithfulness and ‘the believer’s faith in Christ’ are not mutually exclusive. Paul deliberately intended the ambivalence of the Greek phrase to denote the reciprocal π?στι? between Christ and the believer. The apostle defined the believer’s relationship with both the Jewish tradition and the Roman Empire concurrently
