203. Shure Aonic 40: Strong ANC and solid audio performance.

Author

Subjects
*HEADPHONES, *MICROPHONES, *USB technology
Abstract

Granted, some users value that intense ANC as the most important feature of wireless headphones, and Shure comes very close to, if not matching, the Sony and Bose standards with the Aonic 40's Max setting. VERDICT The Shure Aonic 40 headphone is squarely aimed at customers who are considering the Sony WM-1000XM5 or the Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones. PLAY LIST The Shure brand might have you thinking of pro audio gear more than consumer electronics, but the Shure Aonic 40 noise-cancelling headphones deserve to be compared to what market leaders Bose and Sony have to offer.

Abstract

PLAY LIST Pro-Ject remained committed to vinyl during the dark days early in the 21st century, and it continues to manufacture a wide variety of turntables, phono preamplifiers, and accessories that appeal to new listeners, hardcore audiophiles, and anyone who falls somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. You'll need a turntable with no preamp or one with a bypass switch if you want to use the Record Box E. The Record Box E is designed to work with both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, so it's versatile enough to work with whatever turntable and cartridge you might have.

212. An Analysis of the Operation of the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry.

Author

Mississippi State Legislature, Jackson. Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review Committee. and Barber, James A.

Abstract

The effectiveness of the financial management practices and the efficiency of the operations of the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry were evaluated, and recommendations to improve operations were offered by the legislative review committee. While the primary emphasis was effective cost management, attention was also directed to: the school's history, enrollments, curriculum, educational philosophy, and school size. The present organizational structure was also assessed, including recruitment of dental school employees, compensation, and employee benefits. Additional areas of analysis were: expenditures per student, tuition, institutional costs, revenue sources, clinic facility utilization, learning resources facility utilization, dental school applicants, accounting procedures and related controls, budgeting, travel, free care, and an intramural private practice plan. Findings include: the dental school expends 58 percent more than the national average to educate its students; the school is ranked low nationwide in sponsored research revenue, tuition income, and clinic income; the school admits only in-state residents as dental students; and the value of the schools' supply inventory is materially understated due to inadequate inventory and accounting procedures.

Abstract

Nine new species of Caenis from Angola are described herein: Caenis wegeneriana sp. n. (imago), Caenis angolensis sp. n. (imago and larva), Caenis branchiata sp. n. (larva), Caenis filappendicessp.n.(imago),Caenisulesisp.n.(larva),Caeniscubangosp.n.(larva),Caenisarmata sp. n. (imago), Caenis brevispinata sp. n. (imago), and Caenis gallocristata sp. n. (imago). The relationship between the newly described species and other known African species is discussed. The vicariant biogeographic affiliation of Caenis wegeneriana to a related species group in South America, separated by continental drift, is considered. A key to the male imagoes is provided, including Caenis antelucana Malzacher, 1990, Caenis brevipes Kimmins, 1956, Caenis douglasi Malzacher, 1993 and Caenis jinjana Kimmins, 1956, which have previously been recorded in the Cunene River, along the shared border with Namibia.

215. Age and Gender Differences in the Predictors of Adolescent Drinking.

Author

Barber, James G., Bolitho, Floyd, and Bertrand, Lorne D.

Abstract

Predictors of alcohol consumption were investigated across age and sex among junior and senior high school students (N=1,942). The dominant predictor for young boys was whether their friends drink; for girls it was related to interpersonal disorder. Peer pressure was important for older girls and continued dominant for boys.

Abstract

THE EDIFIER WH905NB SUPPORTS LDAC BUT NOT AAC OR APTX The Edifier WH950NB has a Bluetooth 5.3 radio onboard, and it supports the SBC and LDAC codecs. While not quite as polished as the Sony WH-1000XM5 (fave.co/3k4Ia1E) or the Bose QuietComfort 45 (fave. co/436qPr2) headphones, these Edifier headphones have more of that luxury feel than the Soundcore Q45 headphones that I've been using as a comparison. PLAY LIST The Edifier WH950NB Bluetooth wireless headphones look great, are comfortable to wear for long stretches, have easy-to-use physical buttons, and deliver solid active noise cancellation.

232. Disentangling wing shape evolution in the African mayfly, Teloganodidae (Ephemeroptera)

Abstract

Wings are one of the most important structures in the evolution of insects and winged insects are widely accepted as being monophyletic. In Ephemeroptera, wing structure and shape is important for interpreting taxonomic relationships. Morphological variation in wing shape of 14 distinct operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of South African Teloganodidae mayfly was examined using landmark-based geometric morphometric methods and molecular phylogenetics to determine evolutionary shape change and allometry. Fore and hind wing shape data were tested for phylogenetic structure using an independently derived molecular phylogeny, which were then mapped into PCA shape space. The effect of evolutionary allometry as a factor contributing to shape change was examined and quantified. Significant phylogenetic signal was found in fore and hind wing shape, and evolutionary allometry was found to have a significant effect on fore wing but not hind wing shape variation. In the fore wing, evolutionary allometry was removed to explore the non-allometric component of shape variation and discuss possible implications on flight performance. The principal findings of this research show that the relationships between wing shape and size are complex and taxon-specific. We have revealed that evolutionary size changes have a considerable effect on the evolutionary shape changes of Teloganodidae fore wings, however this does not account for all the variation in shape. An increased fore wing size is associated with a broader wing base and narrower, raked wing apex, promoting less-energetically demanding flight, possibly with a higher range of speeds. The smaller species have a relatively narrow wing base and increased wing area at the apex, suggesting a slower flight with more agility, which is more energetically costly. The non-allometric variation involves similar, but less distinct shape changes compared to the allometric component, indicating that other processes must also contribute to the same features of evolutionary shape variation.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is highly heritable but > 50% of the genetic risk remains unexplained. Epidemiological observation of greater relative risk to brothers of men with TGCT compared to sons has long alluded to recessively acting TGCT genetic susceptibility factors, but to date none have been reported. Runs of homozygosity (RoH) are a signature indicating underlying recessively acting alleles and have been associated with increased risk of other cancer types. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether RoH are associated with TGCT risk. METHODS: We performed a genome-wide RoH analysis using GWAS data from 3206 TGCT cases and 7422 controls uniformly genotyped using the OncoArray platform. RESULTS: Global measures of homozygosity were not significantly different between cases and controls, and the frequency of individual consensus RoH was not significantly different between cases and controls, after correction for multiple testing. RoH at three regions, 11p13-11p14.3, 5q14.1-5q22.3 and 13q14.11-13q.14.13, were, however, nominally statistically significant at p

236. Perception of Drugs and Support for Social Policy.

Author

Grichting, Wolfgang L. and Barber, James G.

Abstract

Proposed that perception of relative danger of various drugs is crucial mediator of support people give to social control policies. Interviewed approximately 540 people, requesting that respondents assess danger level of 13 different drugs and indicate degree of support for some social control items. Found that considerable proportion of total support offered was channeled through mediator "perception." (Author/NB)
