The gene encoding PBAN was first characterized from H. zea and B. mori [134,137,138,195]. The cDNA was found to encode the 33 amino acid PBAN plus four additional peptides with a common C-terminal FXPRL sequence motif, including that of the diapause hormone of B. mori (Fig. 6). Three additional peptides with the common C-termini and sequence homology to those of H. zea and B. mori have been deduced from cDNA isolated from pheromone glands of several other moths [194,196-200]. Studies conducted to find the post-translational processed peptides indicated that PBAN was found to a greater extent in the mandibular and maxillary clusters than in the labial cluster of neurons...

Exterior to the dentine lies the cementum layer. Cementum forms a layer surrounding the dentine of tooth and tusk roots. Its main func-(40) tion is to adhere the tooth and tusk root to the mandibular and maxillary jaw bones. Incremental lines are commonly seen in cementum.

Munro and colleagues evaluated 54 trials including those prior to 1965 (71). Two trials included were specifically for maxillary sinus carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Additionally, the Veteran s Laryngeal Cancer study with the end-point being organ preservation was also included. In this study, the overall benefit of adding chemotherapy was 6.5% (3.7% for induction, 12.1% for concomitant, adjuvant chemotherapy was not assessed).

Levofloxacin (1), the levo-isomer or the (5)-enantiomer of ofloxacin, received FDA approval in 1996 (Fish, 2003 Hurst et al., 2002 Mascaretti, 2003 Norrby, 1999 North et al., 1998). The initial approval covered community-acquired pneumonia, acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, acute maxillary sinusitis, uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections, acute pyelonephritis, and complicated urinary tract infections (North et al., 1998). Four years later, the levofloxacin indication list grew to include community-acquired pneumonia caused by penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. In addition, in 2002, nosocomial (hospital-acquired) pneumonia caused by methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Haemophilus influenzae, Kliebsella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli was added (Hurst et al., 2002). Finally in 2004, LVX was approved as a post-exposure treatment for individuals exposed to Bacillus anthracis, the microbe that causes anthrax, via inhalation (FDA, 2004).

In addition to the sensilla styloconica, lepidopterous larvae possess gustatory sensilla on the maxillary palps. Eight basiconic sensilla are located on top of each palpus (see Figure 1). Five of them possess a terminal pore, and for that reason these sensilla might be considered as contact chemoreceptors. The remaining three show numerous small perforations all over the cuticle, which indicates an olfactory function (.8). The response spectra of these sensilla are, however, still obscure. 

A number of chemo- and mechanoreceptors participate in the male behaviors. The female contact pheromone is detected by chemosensilla on the antennae and labial and maxillary palps (Ramaswamy and Gupta, 1981). The number of these sensilla increases dramatically during the metamorphic molt, and much more so in males than in females. Unfortunately, no electrophysiological recordings have been conducted, and the specific sensillum type that responds to the contact pheromone...

Tooth enamel and bone samples from the five trophy heads came from the circular ritual structure (EA 143). Because the trophy heads and teeth were fragmented, the enamel comes from unspecified first, second or third molars and one right maxillary canine and so covers the period of enamel formation from in utero to 15 years of age (42). This sample of five represents approximately 20% of the 24 adult Wari trophy heads that have been discovered in the Andes (/). Therefore, this sample size can be used to test the hypothesis that the adult Wari trophy heads found at Conchopata were obtained from individuals taken in warfare or raiding outside of the Ayacucho Basin.
