The Organization of Intra-Regional and Long-Distance Trade in Prehispanic Philippine Complex Societies
Abstract: THE EARLY TO MID-SECOND MILLENNIUM of our era has been viewed as a time of rapid cultural transition and change in indigenous sociopolitical systems in the Philippines in association with developing trade relations with the Asian mainland. The begin nings of intensive long-distance trade with the highly developed state of China and with Southeast Asian state-level polities as early as the Sung Period (A.D. 950-1279) is well attested in the massive quantities of imported porcelains and other mainland trade commodities that have been recovered from numerous large lowland burial and/or habitation sites on many of the major islands of the Philippines (Beyer 1947; Burton 1977; Fernandez and Rogel 1968; Fox 1959; Fox and Legaspi 1977; Hutterer 1973a; Janse 1944; Legaspi 1974; Locsin and Locsin 1967; Spoehr 1973; Tenazas 1968). Although none of these immediately prehispanic sites has been extensively excavated, the limited archaeological data suggest that a number of them represent extensive coastal settlements, with evidence for specialized craft production areas and wealth differentials in burials, indicating the presence of organizationally com plex and perhaps socially stratified communities. This interpretation of the archaeological data accords well with Spanish documentation for the immediately postcontact period, which describes European encounters with hereditary "chiefs," regionally influential political leaders standing at the apex of a developed social hierarchy and associated with administrative and commercial centers functioning as important nodes in networks of internal and external trade. Pointing to the seeming absence of comparable archaeological evidence for developing complexity in the preceding prehistoric periods and the apparent temporal correspondence between the appearance of Asiatic porcelains and the growth of nucleated coastal communi ties, many scholars have viewed these sociopolitical transformations as sudden and dramatic. They see the changes as being causally linked to Chinese attempts to ex

Larval metamorphosis of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819 in response to neurotransmitter blockers and tetraethylammonium.
TL;DR: The neurotransmitter blockers chlorpromazine and amitriptyline are inhibitors of larval metamorphosis, and will be useful tools for antifouling studies.

Insecticide resistance development in Aedes aegypti upon selection pressure with malathion.
TL;DR: Results indicated that the mosquitoes were highly resistant to DDT and fenitrothion, moderately resistant to propoxur, tolerant to permethrin and λ-cyhalothrin, and very low resistant to cyfluthrin.

TL;DR: The dihydropyridine prodrug 29 was active in an assay of locomotor depression in mice, in which adenosine agonists are highly depressant and the behavior depression was not reversible by peripheral administration of a non-central nervous system activeAdenosine antagonist.

TL;DR: In this paper, resistance to the insecticides deltamethrin and malathion and enzymes associated with metabolic resistance mechanisms were determined in four field populations of Aedes aegypti (L.) from western Venezuela during 2008 and 2010 using the bottle assay and the microplate biochemical techniques.
