The present paper deals with a two-layered mathematical model for blood flow through stenotic tube in porous medium under the effect of an applied magnetic field. In this mathematical model, the blood is considered as Newtonian fluid of variable viscosity in the central region and plasma fluid which is considered as Newtonian fluid of constant viscosity in the peripheral region of the stenotic ...

The recently discovered connexin29 (Cx29) was reported to be present in the central and peripheral nervous systems (CNS and PNS), and its mRNA was found in particular abundance in peripheral nerve. The expression and localization of Cx29 protein in sciatic nerve were investigated using an antibody against Cx29. The antibody recognized Cx29 in HeLa cells transfected with Cx29 cDNA, while nontran...

A large body of work supports the proposal that transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) into nerve or spinal cord injuries can promote axonal regeneration and remyelination. Yet, some investigators have questioned whether the transplanted OECs associate with axons and form peripheral myelin, or if they recruit endogenous Schwann cells that form myelin. Olfactory bulbs from transge...

The anatomical distribution of PACAP-like immunoreactivity was investigated in sensory and peripheral organs of the zebrafish, Danio rerio, during the pharyngula, hatching and larval periods, by using indirect immunofluorescence methods. First PACAP-like immunoreactive (ir) elements appeared during the pharyngula period, at 24 hours post fertilization (hpf), within the most superficial layer of...

Evidence from both anatomical and physiological studies suggests that the ascending segment of the granule cell axon provides a large, driving input to overlying Purkinje cells. In the current experiments, we used dual recording electrodes to simultaneously record spike activity of Purkinje cells and multiunit field potential activity in the directly underlying granule cell layer. These dual re...

The mycetomal micro-organisms of Sitophilus zea-mais give evidence in electron micrographs of having two peripheral unit membranes, an intermediate layer, intracytoplasmic membranes and DNA-like material. They appear to disintegrate, at times, with the concomitant formation of membrane masses. It is suggested that these are visible with the phasemicroscope and that they are probably myelin figu...

This paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) middleware called Middleware for Cooperative Interaction of Things (MinT). MinT supports a fully distributed IoT environment in which IoT devices directly connect to peripheral devices easily construct a local or global network, and share their data in an energy efficient manner. MinT provides a sensor abstract layer, a system layer and an interac...

The paper considers a mathematical model for two-layered blood flow through a tapered artery with the growth of a asymmetric mild stenosis and velocity slip at the interface. The model consists of a core region of red blood cell suspension in the middle layer and the peripheral plasma layer (PPL) in the outer region. It is assumed that both the core and the peripheral plasma layer are represent...

Area prostriata is a cortical area at the fundus of the calcarine sulcus, described anatomically in humans [1-5] and other primates [6-9]. It is lightly myelinated and lacks the clearly defined six-layer structure evident throughout the cerebral cortex, with a thinner layer 4 and thicker layer 2 [10], characteristic of limbic cortex [11]. In the marmoset and rhesus monkey, area prostriata has c...
