Intermuscular bones are found in the myosepta in teleosts. However, there is very little information on the development and ossification of these intermuscular bones. In this study, we performed an in-depth investigation of the ossification process during development in zebrafish (Danio rerio) and Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica). In Japanese eel, a typical anguilliform swimmer, the intermuscul...

Rhabdias filicaudalis n. sp. (Nematoda: Rhabdiasidae) from the lung of Spilotes pullatus (Serpentes: Colubridae) is described. The host snake was captured in the municipality of Avaré, São Paulo State, Brazil. Rhabdias filicaudalis n. sp. differs from all other species by the combination of the following characters: straight body, truncated anterior end, six weakly developed lips arranged in tw...

CP measurements show that PBTI stress induced interface trap area density ΔNit in InGaAs/Al2O3 n-MOSFET is very small and has power law time evolution At in the stress phase, and is partially recovered in the recovery phase. However the DC Is-Vg measurements show large degradations of negative ΔVg and sub-threshold swing S in the sub-threshold region and are recovered in the recovery phase, als...

In the Drosophila embryo, pecif1cation of terminal cell fates that result in the formation of both the head (acron) .and tail (telson) regions is under the control of the torso (tor) receptor tyrosine kinase. The current knowledge suggests that activation of tor at the egg pole initiates a signal transduction pathway that is mediated sequentially by the guanine nucleotide releasing factor son o...

We study the structural, dynamical, and electronic properties of amorphous Si1−xGex :H alloys using firstprinciples local basis molecular dynamics techniques. The network topology and defects in the amorphous network have been analyzed. Structural changes, particularly an increase in number of defects and strained bond angles, have been found as the Ge content increases from x=0.1 to 0.5. The e...

Herein the optical properties of Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/Potassium iodide (HPMC/KI) composite films were determined. The casting technique was introduced to make HPMC/KI with different KI salt concentrations (0.1–1) wt%. absorbance model used determine parameters like absorption edge, refractive index, real and imaginary sections dielectric function, extinction coefficient, Urbach energy,...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to observe the effect of maternal deprivation on somatic growth of wistar rat pups viz. Body weight, nose-rump length, tail length and head length. MATERIALS AND METHOD 5 days old 50 rat pups were studied dividing equally into control and experimental groups. Experimental group (N=25) of rats were maternally deprived 1-4 hours twice daily till the wea...

It was previously reported that truncation or proteolytic removal of the C-terminal 16 amino acids (the R peptide) from the cytoplasmic tail of the murine leukemia virus (MuLV) envelope protein greatly increases its fusion activity. In this study, to investigate the specificity of the effect of the R peptide on the fusion activity of viral envelope proteins, we expressed simian immunodeficiency...
