The auditory nuclei of the chick brain stem have distinct morphologies and highly specific synaptic connectivity. Nucleus magnocellularis (NM) and nucleus angularis receive tonotopically ordered cochlear input. NM in turn projects tonotopically to nucleus laminaris (NL), maintaining binaural specificity with projections to either dorsal or ventral NL dendrites. NM and NL arise from a common anl...

s 18 Ghana 12 Small-scale salt producers 14 A recent multicenter study clearly demonstrates that iodine repletion in children improves growth. Because over 285 million school-age children worldwide are iodine deficient, these findings underscore the importance of global efforts to eradicate IDD in this age group. Correcting iodine deficiency improves growth in children Michael Zimmermann ICCIDD...

In this paper I will provide a high level overview of the major results of CLARIN-NL so far. I will show that CLARIN-NL is starting to provide the data, facilities and services in the CLARIN infrastructure to carry out humanities research supported by large amounts of data and tools. These services have easy interfaces and easy search options (no technical background needed). Still some trainin...

Cellular senescence is a mechanism that virtually irreversibly suppresses the proliferative capacity of cells in response to various stress signals. This includes the expression of activated oncogenes, which causes Oncogene-Induced Senescence (OIS). A body of evidence points to the involvement in OIS of chromatin reorganization, including the formation of senescence-associated heterochromatic f...

We define a trivariate polynomial combining the NL-coflow and NL-flow polynomial, which build dual pair counting acyclic colorings of directed graphs, in more general setting regular oriented matroids.

many factors may influence the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis. this capability may be differ with regard to media compositions, genotype, tissue, organ ontology and the stage of differentiation. the effects of five salicylic acid concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mm) on different stages of carrot somatic embryogenesis were studied using petiole and root secondary phloem explants as sta...

Lameness in sows has an economic impact on pig production and is a major welfare concern. The aim of the present project was to develop methods to evaluate and quantify lameness in breeding sows. Five methods to study lameness were compared between themselves and with visual gait scoring used as a reference: footprint analysis, kinematics, accelerometers, lying-to-standing transition and foot l...

To assess the effect of non chemical management of weed control on forage Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) a field study was conducted in Varamin, Iran during 2010 crop year in a three- replicated- split factorial experiment laid out in randomized complete block design with four weeding levels (W1= one time cultivation at 3-leaf stage using a duck foot cultivator, W2<...

The nuclear lamina (NL) consists of lamin polymers and proteins that bind to the polymers. Disruption of NL proteins such as lamin and emerin leads to developmental defects and human diseases. However, the expression of multiple lamins, including lamin-A/C, lamin-B1, and lamin-B2, in mammals has made it difficult to study the assembly and function of the NL. Consequently, it has been unclear wh...
