Complex chromosome rearrangements (CCRs) are structural aberrations involving three or more breakpoints on two or more chromosomes. These CCRs result in a high rate of chromosome imbalances potentially leading to subfertility and congenital abnormality. In this study, we analysed meiotic segregation in the sperm of a patient with a familial CCR 46, XY,t(1;19;13)(p31;q13.2;q31)mat included in an...

INTRODUCTION Segregation of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) was implemented to prevent chronic infection with epidemic Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains with presumed detrimental clinical effects, but its effectiveness has not been carefully evaluated. METHODS The effect of strict segregation on the incidence of P. aeruginosa infection in CF patients was investigated through longitudinal prot...

U.S. metropolitan neighborhoods have become increasingly segregated by income over the past thirty years. The metropolitan areas with the largest rises in income segregation include a number of distressed cities in industrial decline, as well as a subset of rapidly growing metropolitan areas. I propose a simple model based on the notion that rising income inequality creates market pressure (or ...

Hybrid populations (F3) derived from cross between four moderate salt-resistant spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were assessed for transgressive segregation of salt-tolerant genotypes allowing germination and emergence at 350 mM NaCl for 30 days. The achieved Selection intensity was the order of 0.24-0.27 in these segregation populations (22-25 seedlings from 9000 seeds). Assessment of trans...

Sexual segregation is very common in vertebrates that live in groups. In this article, I will review proximate and ultimate causes of sexual segregation in social species and in particular in ungulates in which the bulk of research on the topic has been carried out. In most social ungulate species, males and females live in separate groups outside the breeding season, sometimes using different ...

Households became more geographically segregated by income in the United States between 1970 and 1990. Research shows that growing up in a poor neighborhood is associated with worse outcomes for children. This suggests that economic segregation may be harmful to children. Economic inequality also increased between 1970 and 1980. Theoretical arguments suggest that the increase in inequality led ...

today gender segregation in the workplace is increasingly sensitive. thus analysis of the reasons behind such phenomenon is of fundamental importance. the aim of this study is to investigate the occupational gender segregation among ahwaz public libraries foundation employees with emphasis on the role of work values. the method of this research is survey and data were collected by questionnaire...

residential mobility is an important ecological mobility which, besides physical impacts, has contributed in shaping or reshaping of urban social milieus. the analyses of results related to a sample of 17510 households inhabiting in 40 regions of mashhad indicates that 46.9 percent of them had experienced a residential relocation during a period of ten years, the maximum of which (62.8 percent)...

The “gender revolution” is now a half-century old and yet the workplace is still extremely segregated. We cast new light on the sources of extreme sex segregation by developing a model resting on the twin principles of queuing and gender essentialism. Using data from the O*NET archive, we show that much male-biased queuing remains after the physical, cognitive, and interactional forms of essent...

We propose a new kinetic model for surface segregation during vapor phase growth that accounts for multiple segregation mechanisms, including mechanisms for terrace mediated exchange and step edge mediated exchange. The major result of the model is an analytic expression for the experimentally measured segregation length and profile broadening that can be readily calculated without the need for...
