The acylation of proteins with palmitate and related fatty acids has been known for over 30 years, but the molecular machinery that carries out palmitoylation has only recently emerged from studies in the model organisms Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Drosophila. Two classes of protein acyltransferases (PATs) have been proposed. In yeast, members of a family of integral membrane proteins harborin...

Congenital Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) defined first by Dr. Sarpyener in 1940’s17, and degenerative LSS was defined by Verbiest in 1950’s.19 Degenerative LSS can be classified as simple or complex LSS, depending on the presence or absence of attendant pathologies. LSS can also be classified on axial plane as central, lateral, or foraminal. LSS may result inneurogenic claucation or radiculopath...

The role of motoneurons in central motor pattern generation was investigated in the feeding system of the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis, an important invertebrate model of behavioral rhythm generation. The neuronal network responsible for the three-phase feeding motor program (fictive feeding) has been characterized extensively and divided into populations of central pattern generator (CPG) inte...

The acoustic behaviour of the European spiny lobster Palinurus elephas (Fabricius, 1787) was examined in the absence or presence of predators or conspecifics. Observations were conducted in a tank equipped with digital video and acoustic monitoring and recording systems using 25 adult lobsters and 5 common octopuses Octopus vulgaris. Single lobsters or groups of 4 lobsters were studied for 2 h....

A panel of cDNAs encoding allergenic proteins was isolated from an Aspergillus fumigatus cDNA library displayed on the surface of filamentous phage. Solid phase-immobilized serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) from A. fumigatus-allergic individuals was used to enrich phage displaying IgE-binding molecules. One of the cDNAs encoded a 11.1-kD protein that was identified as acidic ribosomal phosphoprotein...

For various settings and various dynamic criteria for gauging optimality of programs, there does not exist a master program (optimizer) 9 ~ such that if P is any program which computes a partial function possessing an optimal program, then :'~, operating on the program P as input, halts eventually and outputs an optimal program P ' for computing that partial function. Optimality can be gauged b...

To understand the origin of Pantepui montane biotas, we studied the biogeography of toucanets in the genus Aulacorhynchus. These birds are ideal for analyzing historical relationships among Neotropical montane regions, given their geographic distribution from Mexico south to Bolivia, including northern Venezuela (Cordillera de la Costa), and the Pantepui. Analyses were based on molecular phylog...

This study is about the craniofacial indices and neuromorphometrics of the Nigerian local pig and has been performed on twelve males and fourteen females of ages one and a half to two years. The average values obtained for the tongue length, tongue weight, rasp length, left pinna length, right pinna length, left pinna width, right pinna width, height of left external nares, height of right exte...

Six species of Serpula and Spiraserpula were identified, mainly, from the material of the expeditions of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami, including two new species of Serpula. Serpula madrigalaesp. n. from the Turks and Caicos has a tube with five longitudinal ridges, four rows of alveoli and a medium-sized shallow symmetrical opercular funnel with 1...
