The mouse posterior primitive streak at neural plate/headfold stages (NP/HF, ~7.5 dpc-8 dpc) represents an optimal window from which hemangioblasts can be isolated. We performed immunohistochemistry on this domain using established monoclonal antibodies for proteins that affect blood and endothelial fates. We demonstrate that HoxB4 and GATA1 are the first set of markers that segregate independe...

In this paper, we simulate a maize streak virus (MSV) epidemic model using the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative. We solve nonlinear fractional-order of MSV recently proposed efficient numerical method. perform several graphical simulations to explore dynamics. The investigations justify usefulness scheme in epidemiology. type generalization and implementation method are key features study.

Physalis minima is an important medicinal plant of Indian System of Medicine. This plant is reported for its diuretic, laxative and antiinflammatory activities. However, the plant is not well scrutinized for its antimicrobial potential. The major chemical constituents reported from the plant are phenolics and alkaloids, which suggest that the plant may turn out to be a potent antiinfective agen...

Neuromesodermal progenitors (NMps) contribute to both the elongating spinal cord and the adjacent paraxial mesoderm. It has been assumed that these cells arise as a result of patterning of the anterior neural plate. However, as the molecular mechanisms that specify NMps in vivo are uncovered, and as protocols for generating these bipotent cells from mouse and human pluripotent stem cells in vit...

We have investigated in detail the expression patterns of two Gata genes, cGata2 and cGata3, during early chick development. In addition to confirming previously described expression of these two genes in developing brain, kidney and blood islands, this study reveals several important novel expression domains during very early stages of development. cGata2 is expressed in the area opaca in pre-...

Fibroblast growth factor 4 (Fgf4) has been implicated as a regulator of mesoderm formation, posteriorisation, neural induction and neural patterning. Much of the evidence for this derives from studies in which exogenous FGF4 is applied to avian embryos. We have therefore examined expression of endogenous Fgf4 mRNA in the developing chick embryo at stages when these processes are occurring. Expr...

The operating characteristics of a linear-geometry (open electron drift) Hall thruster are revisited under cryogenically pumped vacuum conditions. A comparison is made between cases in which the thruster is operated with channel walls fabricated from plate diamond, and from boron nitride. These studies reveal a new operating regime/mode that exists at high magnetic field conditions that has nev...

We analysed the role of the prechordal plate in forebrain development of chick embryos in vivo. After transplantation to uncommitted ectoderm a prechordal plate induces an ectopic, dorsoventrally patterned, forebrain-like vesicle. Grafting laterally under the anterior neural plate causes ventralization of the lateral side of the forebrain, as indicated by a second expression domain of the homeo...

∗ This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC03-76SF00098. Abstract We present a novel method for measuring the energy loss per turn in an electron storage ring. The method involves the accurate measurement of the change in the rotation period of an uncaptured electron bunch using a dual-sweep streak camera. In our opinion, this method is more direct and ac...
