In sea-urchin eggs, once karyokinesis reaches metaphase or anaphase, the cleavage furrow can be formed even if the mitotic apparatus is destroyed (Swann & Mitchison, 1953) or removed (Hiramoto, 1956). A similar result was obtained in frog eggs (Kubota, 1966). In amphibian eggs a much longer time is available for performing experiments than in sea urchins as the furrow first appears at the anima...

AIM To evaluate the effect on physical properties of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) of using direct hand compaction during placement and when using hand compaction with indirect ultrasonic activation with different application times. METHODS One hundred acrylic canals were obturated in 3 increments with MTA in sample sizes of 10. One group was obturated by hand with an endodontic plugger an...

Neurogenesis in Drosophila eye imaginal disc is controlled by interactions of positive and negative regulatory genes. The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Atonal (Ato) plays an essential proneural function in the morphogenetic furrow to induce the formation of R8 founder neurons. Bar homeodomain proteins are required for transcriptional repression of ato in the basal undiffere...

Soil compaction has become a widespread problem in the world and is one of the factors involved in land degradation and declining crop yields, especially in the arid and semi-arid agriculture. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of subsoil compaction on morphological, physiological and agronomic aspects of wheat .The research was carried out in the experimental farms of Anb...

The physical interaction of the plasma membrane with the associated cortical cytoskeleton is important in many morphogenetic processes during development. At the end of the syncytial blastoderm of Drosophila the plasma membrane begins to fold in and forms the furrow canals in a regular hexagonal pattern. Every furrow canal leads the invagination of membrane between adjacent nuclei. Concomitantl...

in this study, the effect of furrow firming rollers were investigated to improve furrow irrigation parameters such as: advance time, runoff, deep percolation and irrigation efficiency (application efficiency) in the roller treatments, nonroller treatments (traditional) and treatment of including compacted with tractor wheel in the miandab agriculctural station in west azerbaijan during 2001-200...

BACKGROUND During cell division, chromosomes must clear the path of the cleavage furrow before the onset of cytokinesis. The abscission checkpoint in mammalian cells stabilizes the cleavage furrow in the presence of a chromatin obstruction. This provides time to resolve the obstruction before the cleavage furrow regresses or breaks the chromosomes, preventing aneuploidy or DNA damage. Two unans...

Compaction relocates active subcubes in a fragmented hypercube so as to produce a contiguous free region and eliminate the adverse impact of fragmentation on performance. The overhead of compaction is often contributed primarily by task migration, which makes use of disjoint paths for transmitting migrated data. Since task migration usually involves transmitting a large amount of data, the time...
