A male infant was found to have bilateral exudative retinopathy at 6 months of age. A month later severe aplastic anaemia was diagnosed, eventually leading to the infant's death. Additional features of this seemingly new syndrome were intrauterine growth retardation, fine sparse hair, fine reticulate skin pigmentation, ataxia because of cerebellar hypoplasia, cerebral calcifications, extensor h...

FEF is innervated by nuclei in the thalamus bordering the internal medullary lamina, mainly the lateral part of the mediodorsal nucleus and the medial part of the ventroanterior nucleus. The thalamic zones most heavily connected with FEF are themselves innervated by oculomotor afferents from the intermediate layer of the superior colliculus, the substantia nigra pars reticulate, and the dentate...

I would like to thank Akihisa Shibata, associate professor of the Institute of Economic Research, Kyoto University, and the staff of the Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies (IMES), Bank of Japan for their useful comments. Tomiyuki Kitamura and Junko Miyoshi of IMES Research Division I provided valuable assistance with the model analyses, graph preparations, etc. The views expressed here...

Results are obtained about the existence and behavior of hereditarily weakly confluent maps of continua onto the unit circle S1. A simple and useful necessary and sufficient condition is given for a map of a continuum, X, onto S1 to be hereditarily weakly confluent (HWC). It is shown that when X is arcwise connected, an HWC map of X onto S1 is monotone with arcwise connected fibers. A number of...

A 38- year-old man in good general health and normal intellectualfunctioning referred to the dermatologic clinic with numerouspruritic reticulate pigmentations on his neck, chest and upperback since 10 years ago. We noticed similar lesions on his axillae,groin and infra mammary area with no family background.

Louda and Stiling (2004 [this issue]) state that biological control is not a simple matter of community re-assemblage because deliberate introductions of exotic natural enemies for suppression of exotic pest populations can have reticulate impacts that are difficult, if not impossible, to predict a priori. In an insightful retrospective study, Hawkins et al. (1999) analyzed 68 life-table studie...

Phylogenetic networks represent the evolution of organisms that have undergone reticulate events, such as recombination, hybrid speciation or lateral gene transfer. An important way to interpret a phylogenetic network is in terms of the trees it displays, which represent all the possible histories of the characters carried by the organisms in the network. Interestingly, however, different netwo...
