Profile of Christine Petit

Over the last 20 years, geneticist and neurobiologist Christine Petit has written the canticle of the cochlea from scratch, revealing the long-shrouded machinery of the auditory system molecule by molecule. Along the way, she has identified more than 20 genes responsible for hearing impairments, with each of these cochlear deficits accounting for the observed sensory impairment, a succinct stor...

Petit Mal or Pyknolepsy

Christine Mullin

The disruptions of linkage groups by chromosomal rearrangements can present barriers to the interbreeding of two populations and lead to speciation. These chromosomal changes can be demonstrated through cross-species painting (FergusonSmith et al., 2005). Homologies have been established between human and each of the other hominids as well as many old and new world monkeys and even some prosimi...

Statement Christine

The primary focus of my research is software engineering for mobile computing, specifically for ad hoc mobile networks. These networks comprise small communicating mobile devices that are detached from a fixed network infrastructure. Applications on these heterogeneous devices need to communicate to access information and resources on remote devices, possibly several hops away in the network. M...

[Spontaneous bilateral Petit hernia].

Petit's lumbar hernia is an uncommon defect of the posterior abdominal wall that represents less than 1% of all abdominal wall hernias. It is more often unilateral and founded in young females, rarely containing a real herniated sac. There are two different approaches to repair: laparoscopy and open surgery. The goal of this article is to report one case of spontaneous bilateral lumbar Petit's ...
