Test day data on milk yield for individual cows were generated using Monte Carlo simulation consisting of 1000 herds. Each herd contained 30 second lactation cows for each of 2 yr. Three scenarios were simulated with increasing effects of test day and seasonality. For each test day, several statistics were calculated for each cow: test day data on yield deviated from expectations, deviated test...

Vol. 216 No. 2 305–315 https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201610042 Introduction Tissue physical properties depend on the cells that make the tissue and also seem to be affected by tissue use. For example, muscle, cartilage, and bone, when suitably exercised, generate or resist mechanical forces that can be many times the weights of these tissu...

During embryogenesis the sea urchin early pluteus larva differentiates 40-50 neurons marked by expression of the panneural marker synaptotagmin B (SynB) that are distributed along the ciliary band, in the apical plate and pharyngeal endoderm, and 4-6 serotonergic neurons that are confined to the apical plate. Development of all neurons has been shown to depend on the function of Six3. Using a c...

Infra-patellar fat pad cysts are an uncommon type of intra-articular ganglia. We report a case of a young woman with a painful little mass in the anterior aspect of the left knee. Ultrasound revealed a multiloculate cyst, that was initially drained with a spinal needle. Four months later, she had a recurrence of symptoms and a ultrasound guided aspiration was performed. Cytological examination ...
