Unilaterally antennectomized Heliothis virescens (F ) males flying close to the central axis of a plume of sex pheromone display no significant differences in behaviour compared to sham-oper ated males in course angles, tiack angles, airspeed and groundspeed. This demonstrates that rightlleft antenna1 information is not necessary for normal orientation movements in response to pheromone, but ra...

INTRODUCTION Reports on cases of epilepsy in Turner syndrome are rare and most of them have cortical developmental malformations. We report the case of a Taiwanese patient with mosaic Turner syndrome with generalized tonic-clonic epilepsy and asymmetrical lateral ventricles but no apparent cortical anomaly. CASE PRESENTATION A 49-year-old Taiwanese woman without family history presented with ...

Animal surface temperature profile captured using infrared camera is helpful for the assessment of physiological responses associated with the regulation of body temperature. Diagnosing breast cancer in early stage itself has a greater effect on the prognosis. In this work, asymmetrical temperature distribution analysis of chemical carcinogen 7,12-dimethyl benz(a)anthracene-induced in the lower...

It is important to obtain structure-activity relationship (SAR) data across cationic lipids for the self-assembly and nonviral intracellular delivery of siRNA. The aims of this work are to carry out a SAR study on the efficiency of asymmetrical N(4),N(9)-diacyl spermines in siRNA delivery and EGFP reporter gene silencing, with comparisons to selected mixtures composed of symmetrical N(4),N(9)-d...

OBJECTIVE Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype change is a hallmark of vascular remodeling, which contributes to atherosclerotic diseases and can be regulated via microRNA-dependent mechanisms. We recently identified that asymmetrical dimethylarginine positively correlates to vascular remodeling-based diseases. We hypothesized that asymmetrical dimethylarginine induces smooth muscle cel...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Associations between the site of brain injury and poststroke gait impairment are poorly understood. Temporal gait asymmetry after stroke is a salient index of gait dysfunction that has important functional consequences. The current study investigated whether subtraction lesion analysis could distinguish brain regions associated with persisting temporal gait asymmetry in c...

This paper presented a closed loop control of asymmetrical PWM full bridge converter; Renewable energy and distributed generation are getting more and more popular, wind turbines, and fuel cells. The renewable energy sources need the power electronics interface to the utility grid because of different characteristics between the sources and the grid. No matter what renewable energy source is ut...

A Golgi-impregnated spiny stellate cell was selected from layer IV of SmI cortex in a mouse whose ipsilateral ventrobasal complex had been lesioned. The neuron was gold-toned, thin sectioned and then reconstructed in three dimensions using wooden sheets of appropriate thickness. These procedures enabled the numbers and distribution of thalamocortical and other synapses onto the reconstructed ne...

Doherty type Power Amplifier (DPA) design is one of the most practical efficiency enhancement methods that provide moderate linearity. Asymmetrical device usage and employment of bias adaptation are among the most commonly used Doherty architectures in recent applications. In this paper, the efficiency performances of bias adapted DPA and asymmetrical DPA are compared based on the efficiency ex...
