Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a genetic disorder caused by mutational inactivation of the ATM gene. A-T patients display a pleiotropic phenotype and suffer primarily from progressive ataxia caused by degeneration of cerebellar Purkinje and granule neurons. Disruption of the mouse Atm locus creates a murine model of A-T that exhibits most of the clinical features of the human disease. We previo...

Objective- Assessment of the lens anterior – posterior (AP) diameter as compared with the eye globe by ultrasonography in rabbit.   Design- Descriptive study.   Animals- 120 male and female rabbits, two months to four years old, and weighting between 300 to 1500gr.   Procedures- 2D ultrasonography of the eyes was performed and AP diameter of the eyes and lens were measured using Sonosite Tit...

Horn antennas can result in good impedance matching between the waveguide and free space due to the gradual increase in the aperture size. In this paper, a novel plasmonic sectoral horn nanoantenna based on using lens in the aperture is proposed. It is investigated that in addition to improvement of the directivity, the reflection coefficient is also reduced using the proper lens structure. The...

purpose: to evaluate the prevalence of contat lens wear among highschool girls and their general knowledge about contact lenses and also to evaluate the specific knowledge of contact lens wearers about the lens. methods: in a cross-sectional study, 1664 students of 22 randomly selected girl highschools were enrolled. a questionaire including questions about wearing contact lens, age of first us...

We study corporate income tax competition when firms operating in multiple jurisdictions can shift income using financial planning strategies. Several such strategies, particularly intra-corporate lending, appear to be actively pursued by companies to reduce subnational corporate taxes in Canada. A simple theoretical model shows how interjurisdictional tax planning can give rise to asymmetries ...

The purpose of this investigation was to study and compare the electrophoretic patterns of optic lensproteins of different species of domestic animals at pre- and post-natal ages. Optic lenses were removed from the embryo or adult sheep, cattle, goat, camel and chicken at the slaughter-house then homogenized and subjected to sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). I...

results the electrophysiology laboratory staff received higher doses of ionizing radiation (17.2 ± 11.9 msv; p < 0.001). there was a significant positive correlation between the years of working experience and effective dose in the lens (p < 0.001). in general, our findings showed that the incidence of lens opacity was 79% (95% ci, 69.9-88.1) in participants with exposure (the case group) and o...
