The developmental activity of LIM homeodomain transcription factors (LIM-HDs) is critically controlled by LIM domain-interacting cofactors of LIM-HDs (CLIM, also known as NLI or LDB). CLIM cofactors associate with single-stranded DNA binding proteins (SSDPs, also known as SSBPs) thereby recruiting SSDP1 and/or SSDP2 to LIM-HD/CLIM complexes. Although evidence has been presented that SSDPs are i...

The aim of this paper is to prove the following results: a continuous map f : [0, 1]→ [0, 1] is chaotic iff the shift map σf : lim ← ([0, 1], f)→ lim ← ([0, 1], f) is chaotic. However, this result fails, in general, for arbitrary compact metric spaces. σf : lim ← ([0, 1], f) → lim ← ([0, 1], f) is chaotic iff there exists an increasing sequence of positive integers A such that the topological s...

It was truly sad that Professor Felicidad Cua Lim who was the Founding President of the Philippine Society of Allergology and Immunology (1972–1978) and the President of Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma, and Clinical Immunology, APAAACI (1999–2000) passed away on August 28, 2014 (Fig. 1) [1]. It was a great loss for us. All thoughts and prayers from the Asia Pacific region were with ...

LIM-homeodomain transcription factors (LIM-HDs) are essential in tissue patterning and differentiation. But their expression patterns in the inner ear are largely unknown. Here we report on a study of twelve LIM-HDs, by their tempo-spatial patterns that imply distinct yet overlapping roles, in the developing mouse inner ear. Expression of Lmx1a and Isl1 begins in the otocyst stage, with Lmx1a e...

Let n be the fraction of structures of \size" n which are \connected"; e.g., (a) the fraction of labeled or unlabeled n-vertex graphs having one component, (b) the fraction of partitions of n or of an n-set having a single part or block, or (c) the fraction of n-vertex forests that contain only one tree. Various authors have considered lim n, provided it exists. It is convenient to distinguish ...

This paper introduces two new cells for Logic-inMemory (LiM) operation. The first novelty of these cells is the resistive RAM configuration that utilizes a Programmable Metallization Cell (PMC) as non-volatile element. CMOS transistors and ambipolar transistors are used as processing and control elements for the logic operations of the LiM cells. The first cell employs ambipolar transistors and...

The topographic assembly of neural circuits is dependent upon the generation of specific neuronal subtypes, each subtype displaying unique properties that direct the formation of selective connections with appropriate target cells. Studies of motor neuron development in the spinal cord have begun to elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in controlling motor projections. In this review, we...

This first part of a paper, divided into two parts, deals with the theoretical formulation of the input– output feedback linearization (FL) control technique as to be applied to linear induction motors (LIMs). Linear induction motors, differently from rotating induction motors (RIMs), present other strong nonlinearities caused by the so-called dynamic end effects, leading to a space-vector mode...

LIM domain proteins contain contiguous double-zinc finger domains and play important roles in cytoskeletal re-organisation and organ development in multi-cellular eukaryotes. Here, we report the characterization of four genes encoding LIM proteins in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. Targeted gene replacement of either the paxillin-encoding gene, PAX1, or LRG1 resulted in a significant ...

The cysteine-rich protein (CRP) contains two copies of the LIM sequence motif, CX2CX17HX2CX2CX2CX17-CX2C, that was first identified in the homeodomain proteins Lin-11, Is1-1, and Mec-3. The abundance and spacing of the cysteine residues in the LIM motif are reminiscent of a metal-binding domain. We examined the metal-binding properties of CRP isolated from chicken smooth muscle (cCRP) and from ...
