Signalling via tissue-specific receptors for fibroblast growth factor is important in tracheal branching and mesodermal patterning in Drosophila; both processes may involve a common primary response - detachment and directed migration of the target cells - that is conserved from worms to mammals.

Studies of branch prediction have tended to emphasize aggregate measurement of prediction performance. Instead, we have taken the approach that there are likely to be a small number of branch addresses (“sites”) in the program causing the majority of all mispredictions. Using a graphical tool we developed for analyzing program traces on-the-fly, we present three interesting results, all based o...

while many researchers devoted numerous articles to the organizational culture, relatively few articles have been contributed to culture and performance research. the purpose of this study is to shed light on the role of organizational culture on performance. to achieve this goal and in order to measure organizational culture, denison organizational culture model was used. the components of thi...

Local variation in the abundance and richness of vascular epiphytes is often attributed to environmental characteristics such as substrate and microclimate. Less is known, however, about the impacts of tree and branch turnover on epiphyte communities. To address this issue, we surveyed branches and epiphytes found on the forest floor in 96 transects in two forests (Atlantic rainforest in Brazil...

PURPOSE To differentiate PCA segments and cortical branches by means of transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCD) and to measure flow parameters at rest and during visual stimulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS 60 healthy subjects with a good acoustic temporal bone window were examined. The main stem of the PCA (P1, P2 and P3) and 4 main cortical branches - the anterior temporal artery (AT...
