In the mouse embryo, asymmetric divisions during the 8-16 cell division generate two cell types, polar and apolar cells, that are allocated to outer and inner positions, respectively. This outer/inner configuration is the first sign of the formation of the first two cell lineages: trophectoderm (TE) and inner cell mass (ICM). Outer polar cells become TE and give rise to the placenta, whereas in...

STUDY DESIGN Sheep outer and inner anulus fibrosus cells were isolated and analyzed to determine the effect of serial monolayer passaging on their phenotype. OBJECTIVES To characterize the effect of sequential serial passage on outer and inner anulus cells to determine at which point passaged cells are significantly different from freshly isolated cells. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Previous ...

An inner-outer factorization theorem for linear time-varying systems is obtained via an extension of the classical Beurling-Lax theorem to the time-varying context. This provides characteristic features of the inner factor, which can be used to compute realizations of the inner and outer factors from a realization of the given transfer operator. The resulting algorithm is unidirectional in time...

laminar mixed convection of aluminium oxide (al2o3)–water nanofluid flow in an inclined annulus using a single-phase approach was numerically studied. constant heat flux boundary conditions were applied on the inner and outer walls. all the thermophysical properties of nanofluid, such as, viscosity, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficient, except density in the bo...

in islam, the world and hereafter life, plurality and unity, and inner and outer part each has its own place. islamic spirituality as an inner knowledge finds connection with islamic social idea. the purpose of which is a kind of social education and human life edification in all aspects, because, in view of the gnostics, the outer and inner worlds have longitudinal relationship.the mystics in ...
