The optic vesicle develops as an evagination of the cephalic neural folds. We have examined the early development of the optic vesicle in Swiss Webster mice using correlated transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), light microscopic (LM) measurements of cell shape changes, immunohistochemical localization of basal lamina (BL) components (type IV collagen, lami...

Trie in-plane thermoelectric power (TEP of trie layered orgamc superconductors ~-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 and ~-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br bas been studied in trie vicinity of trie superconducting transition under magnetic field. Below trie transition temperature, an anomalous non-monotonic behavior of trie TEP is found in trie ~-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 sait: instead of a graduai monotonic decrease, trie T...

Upon electrochemical oxidation of the precursor complexes [Cp*Ir(H(2)O)(3)]SO(4) (1) or [(Cp*Ir)(2)(OH)(3)]OH (2) (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl), a blue layer of amorphous iridium oxide containing a carbon admixture (BL) is deposited onto the anode. The solid-state, amorphous iridium oxide material that is formed from the molecular precursors is significantly more active for water-oxidatio...

The barrier layer (BL) is an expansive halocline commonly found in the western equatorial Pacific, long been thought to inhibit entrainment of colder thermocline water into surface mixed (ML), consequently facilitating development El Niño. But here we find frequent turbulent mixing BL from both direct turbulence measurements and indirect estimates within 11-year-long Argo profile data set. obse...

Herein, we present an innovative strategy for optimizing hierarchical structures of nanoporous anodic alumina (NAA) to advance their optical sensing performance toward multi-analyte biosensing. This approach is based on the fabrication of multilayered NAA and the formation of differential effective medium of their structure by controlling three fabrication parameters (i.e., anodization steps, a...

The effect of interpolation and super-resolution (SR) algorithms on quantitative and qualitative assessments of enlarged optical coherence tomography (OCT) images was investigated in this report. Spectral-domain OCT images from 30 eyes in 30 consecutive patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) and 20 healthy eyes in 20 consecutive volunteers were analyzed. Original image (OR) resolution was r...

Renaming of the Odontogenic Keratocyst as the Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor by the World Health Organization (WHO) is based on the aggressive nature of this lesion. Satellite cysts founded in the walls of the original cysts may give rise to a new lesion formation. The aim of this retrospecitve study was to identify the existence of specific features according incidence of satellite cysts and t...

In this paper, we prove that any BL-general fuzzy automaton (BL-GFA) and its quotient have the same behavior. In addition, we obtain the minimal quotient BL-GFA and minimal quotient transformation of the BL-GFA, considering the notion of maximal admissible partition. Furthermore, we show that the number of input symbols and time complexity of the minimal quotient transformation of a BL-GFA are ...

In May 2008, the measurement campaign IMPACT for observation of atmospheric aerosol and cloud properties was conducted in Cabauw, The Netherlands. With a nudged version of the coupled aerosol-climate model ECHAM5-HAM we simulate the size distribution and chemical composition of the aerosol and the associated aerosol optical thickness (AOT) for the campaign period. Synoptic scale meteorology is ...

We present a comparison of different Lagrangian and chemical box model calculations with measurement data obtained during the GABRIEL campaign over the tropical Atlantic Ocean and the Amazon rainforest in the Guyanas, October 2005. Lagrangian modelling of boundary layer (BL) air constrained by measurements is used to derive a horizontal gradient (≈5.6 pmol/mol km−1) of CO from the ocean to the ...
