On the observation of current available voice organizers, all of them accept only voice commands or word-based commands. Using natural spoken language to operate organizer is still a difficult problem. In this paper, a template-based speech recognizer which accepts near(constrained) spoken language is proposed. Since the template-based recognizer is a domain-dependent speech recognition system,...

We review how studies on the first Spemann-Mangold organizer marker, the homeobox gene goosecoid, led to the discovery of secreted factors that pattern the vertebrate embryo. Microinjection of goosecoid mRNA formed secondary axes and recruited neighboring cells. These non-cell autonomous effects are mediated in part by the expression of secreted factors such as chordin, cerberus and Frzb-1. Une...

A functional screen for gene products that rescue dorsal development in ventralized Xenopus embryos has yielded Xenopus nodal-related 3 (Xnr3), a diverged member of the TGF beta superfamily. Xnr3 is specifically expressed in the Spemann organizer and is only expressed in the epithelial layer of the organizer immediately preceding and extending through gastrulation. Like noggin, Xnr3 can induce ...

Organizers play important roles during the embryonic development of many animals. The most famous example is the Spemann organizer that sets up embryonic axes in amphibian embryos. In spiders, a group of BMP secreting mesenchymal cells (the cumulus) functions as an organizer of the dorsoventral axis. Similar to experiments performed with the Spemann organizer, transplantation of the cumulus is ...

Hensen's node is the "organizer" of the avian and mammalian early embryo. It has many functions, including neural induction and patterning of the ectoderm and mesoderm. Some of the signals responsible for these activities are known but these do not explain the full complexity of organizer activity. Here we undertake a functional screen to discover new secreted factors expressed by the node at t...

This paper proposes a new framework for wireless sensor networks (WSN) by combining two routing protocol algorithms. In the proposed framework two algorithms are taking into consideration the energy balanced clustering (EBC) protocol in WSN with fault tolerance capabilities. The organizer is automatically selected by the base station (BS) and then it selects the cluster head (CH). The mechanism...

The Spemann organizer secretes several antagonists of growth factors during gastrulation. We describe a novel secreted protein, Mig30, which is expressed in the anterior endomesoderm of the Spemann organizer. Mixer-inducible gene 30 (Mig30) was isolated as a target of Mixer, a homeobox gene required for endoderm development. The Mig30 gene encodes a secreted protein containing a cysteine-rich d...

Tissue markers of cellular proliferatian have been recently utilized as prognostic indicators in brain tumors. Nudeolar organizer regions (NORs)are loops of deoxyribonudeic add (DNA) that transcribe to ribosomal ribonudeic acid (RNA) by RNA polymerase i. Using asilver staining technique. nudeolar organizer region-assodated proteins (AgNORs) have been studied in paraffin sections of 62 meningeal...

Silver staining at the electron microscopic level of the nucleolar organizers was carried out on Xenopus laevis oocytes at various stages of oogenesis. The results indicate that a positive reaction takes place exclusively in the dense fibrillar component of the extrachromosomal nucleoli. This constituent undergoes morphological changes of distribution and architecture, which have been correlate...

Cytogenetics studies in 12 specimens of Gymnothorax ocellatus reveled a diploid chromosome number of 2n 42 (16 metacentrics, 18 submetacentrics and 8 acrocentrics). The nucleolar organizer regions were located in a terminal position on the long arm of the chromosome pair number fifteen. Conspicuous blocks of constitutive heterochromatin were observed in the centromeric and pericentromeric regio...
