In 14 cases of the Turner syndrome and pure gonadal dysgenesis streak gonads were studied histologically. In cases where the 46,XX line was unimpaired the blood vessels of the gonad showed severe degeneration in at least 30 to 50%. These streak gonads usually contained some of the characteristic ovarian elements as well as the vascular lesions. In gonosomal monosomy, on the other hand, a simila...

Epiblast cells in the early chick embryo differentiate to form all three germ layers through ingression of cells at the primitive streak across the basement membrane that underlies the epiblast. We tested the idea that degradation of the extracellular matrix components by matrix metalloproteinase(s) (MMPs) is involved in this process. Epiblast cells and primitive streak cells were dissociated i...

The fate of cells in the epiblast at prestreak and early primitive streak stages has been studied by injecting horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into single cells in situ of 6.7-day mouse embryos and identifying the labelled descendants at midstreak to neural plate stages after one day of culture. Ectoderm was composed of descendants of epiblast progenitors that had been located in the embryonic axi...

A taxi driver aged 22, who had been married for 4 years, reported at the Swansea V.D. Clinic on June 15, 1959. There was no history of previous V.D. Extramarital intercourse had occurred on June 1, a urethral discharge was noted on June 7, and on June 13 a mark was noticed on the penis which had not been seen before. Examination (June 15). There was a purulent urethral discharge and a discolour...

A compact and robust Mach-Zehnder type interferometer coupled with the double optical gating technique provides tunable isolated attosecond pulses and streak field detection with fields centered at either 750 nm or 400 nm. Isolated attosecond pulses produced at 45 eV (with measured pulse duration of 114 ± 4 as) and 20 eV (with measured pulse duration of 395 ± 6 as) are temporally characterized ...

Introduction Adaptive imaging allows multiple image sets, each having a different spatial-temporal balance, to be retrospectively reconstructed from the same dataset. High temporal resolution image sets from radial sampling schemes are typically undersampled, and suffer from streak artifacts that degrade image quality. It has been shown that a compressed sensing (CS) L1-penalized reconstruction...

We cloned a chicken homeobox gene closely related to the Xenopus Mix. 1 gene. CMIX is expressed early in embryogenis in a sickle-shaped area in the posterior zone of the blastoderm. With the beginning of gastrulation, CMIX transcripts are found in the primitive streak primordium, then in the young and medium-sized streak, however not in the mesoderm after its emergence. In the fully-extended st...

We demonstrate an apparatus for measuring time-dependent x-ray diffraction. X-ray pulses from a synchrotron are diffracted by a pair of Si(111) crystals and detected with an x-ray streak camera that has single-shot resolution of better than 1 ps. The streak camera is driven by a photoconductive switch, which is triggered by 100-fs laser pulses at a repetition rate of 1 kHz. The laser and the st...

Turbulence in the restricted nonlinear (RNL) dynamics is analysed and compared with direct numerical simulations (DNS) of Poiseuille turbulence at Reynolds number $R=1650$ . The structures are obtained by proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) analysis two components flow partition used RNL dynamics: streamwise mean fluctuations. POD indicates that dominant modes, both DNS dynamics, roll-streaks...

The streak camera is one of the fastest photodetection systems, while its capability of multiplexing is particularly attractive to many applications requiring parallel data acquisition. The degree of multiplexing in a streak camera is limited by the crosstalk between input channels. We developed a technique that introducing a fixed time delay between adjacent fiber channels in a customized two-...
