Planar cell polarity (PCP) signalling is a well-conserved developmental pathway regulating cellular orientation during development. An evolutionarily conserved pathway readout is not established and, moreover, it is thought that PCP mediated cellular responses are tissue-specific. A key PCP function in vertebrates is to regulate coordinated centriole/cilia positioning, a function that has not b...

The stability of synchronized states (including equilibrium point, periodic orbit or chaotic attractor) in stochastic coupled dynamical systems (ordinary differential equations) is considered. A general approach is presented, based on the master stability function, Gershgörin disc theory and the extreme value theory in statistics, to yield constraints on the distribution of coupling to ensure t...

The site of action of the mutation fuzzy (fz) was investigated by the method of dermalepidermal recombination. Skins from 14-day mutant and normal mouse embryos were separated into dermal and epidermal components, recombined, and grown in the mouse testis for 14 days. Grafts that contained mutant epidermis as one of the components produced many abnormal hairs characteristic of fuzzy mice. There...

(Fz-DCM). whether five cardioactive agents were cardioprotective in this model of heart failure, ie, they prevented dilatation and wall thinning and improved contractile performance. We compared the effects of chronic administration of af,3-selective and a nonselective 3-receptor antagonist, a-receptor antagonist, two Ca2' channel antagonists in the presence of Fz administration. The greatest c...

Anderson et al. (2003), described muscle forces as major contributors to the vertical ground reaction force (Fz), and concluded that muscle support generating potential is described by its contribution to Fz. Winter (1980) defined the moment of support (Ms) as the summation of the net joint moments at the knee, hip and ankle, representing the extensor synergy of the lower extremity to prevent c...

The subject of analysis in this work is legislative innovations governing the procedure for temporary placement an accused and suspect a medical organization providing psychiatric care inpatient conditions (federal law 491-FZ federal 500-FZ). author analyzes grounds persons initiating application said measure; goals procedural form its application; set guarantees respect whom measure applied. A...

A new Fresnel Zone (FZ) Antenna to focus the microwave power in the radiation near field region is presented. FZ Antennas, in comparison with array antennas or reflector antennas, conventional focused antennas, take the advantages of design simplicity as well as lower sidelobe levels (SLL) in both axial and transverse directions. Simulation results and comparisons made between the new structure...

The tissue polarity genes control the polarity of hairs, bristles and ommatidia in the adult epidermis of Drosophila. We report here the identification of a new tissue polarity gene named starry night (stan). Mutations in this essential gene alter the polarity of cuticular structures in all regions of the adult body. The detailed polarity phenotype of stan on the wing suggested that it is most ...

We have irradiated Czochralski silicon (Cz-Si) and Float Zone silicon (Fz-Si) detectors with 24GeV=c and 10MeV protons. Samples were characterized with Capacitance-Voltage measurements (CV), Transient Current Technique (TCT) and secondary electron backscattering recorded by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). We present the evolution of the effective doping concentration as a function of irradi...
