During spermatogenesis, the movement of developing germ cells across the seminiferous epithelium associates with extensive restructuring of cell-cell actin-based adherens junctions (AJs), such as ectoplasmic specialization (ES, a testis-specific AJ junction), between Sertoli and germ cells. Although this event of germ cell movement is essential to the completion of spermatogenesis, the mechanis...

Given a sequence of integers aj, j ≥ 1, a multiset is a combinatorial object composed of unordered components, such that there are exactly aj one-component multisets of size j. When aj ≍ jr−1yj for some r > 0, y ≥ 1, then the multiset is called expansive. Let cn be the number of multisets of total size n. Using a probabilistic approach, we prove for expansive multisets that cn/cn+1 → 1 and that...

Recently we developed an isolation procedure for the cell-to-cell adherens junctions (AJ; cadherin-based junctions) from rat liver (Tsukita, Sh. and Sa. Tsukita. 1989. J. Cell Biol. 108:31-41). In this study, using the isolated AJ, we have obtained two mAbs specific to the 220-kD undercoat-constitutive protein. Immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy with these mAbs showed that this 22...

For three positive integers ai, aj , ak pairwise coprime, we present an algorithm that find the least multiple of ai that is a positive linear combination of aj , ak. The average running time of this algorithm is O(1). Using this algorithm and the chinese remainder theorem leads to a direct computation of the Frobenius number f(a1, a2, a3).

A family segregating for the A, J, and K alleles at cholinesterase locus 1 is described. Several further examples of the AJ and AK phenotypes occur in this family, and one member of the family, by genetic analysis, is phenotype JK. In relation to possible succinylcholine apnoea, phenotypes AJ, AK, and JK should all be considered vulnerable.

We give a few sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions of the equation ż = Pn j=0 aj(t)z j − Pr k=1 ck(t)z k where n > r and aj ’s, ck’s are complex valued. We prove the existence of one up to two periodic solutions.
