Ventral structures in the central nervous system are patterned by signals emanating from the underlying mesoderm as well as originating within the neuroectoderm. Mutations in the zebrafish, Danio rerio, are proving instrumental in dissecting these midline signals. The cyclops mutation leads to a loss of medial floor plate and to severe deficits in ventral forebrain development, leading to cyclo...

Development of a cyclops lesion is a well described complication after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It commonly results in gradual extension loss during the early postoperative course, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the soft tissue nodule attached to the ACL graft is needed. Cyclops lesions are easy to diagnose based on the symptoms and MRI findings. Previous study ...

This research was part of the Cyclops-Project1 at the Artificial Intelligence Institute of the University of Kaiserslautern. The aim of the Cyclops-System [VW96] is to provide a software workbench for the development of knowledgebased image understanding applications, particularly in the field of analysis of MRI-images. The Cyclops-System can act as an image-understanding expert system, which d...

The Internet AS-level topology is a highly dynamic structure that evolves over time under diverse technical, economical and social forces. Up to now the few efforts on topology visualization have taken only static snapshots of the topology graph. In this poster, we present Cyclops, an interactive visualization tool that highlights the changes in the Internet AS-level topology. We use case studi...

Cyclops are among the best-known monsters of Greek mythology, also mentioned in art and literature. According to the most recent scientific knowledge, the malformations caused by defective development of the anterior brain and midline mesodermal structures include cyclopia (synophthalmos), ethmocephaly, cebocephaly and arrhinencephaly. These severe forebrain lesions often are accompanied by sev...

In contrast with the marine reaches of estuaries, few studies have dealt with zooplankton grazing on phytoplankton in the upper estuarine reaches, where freshwater zooplankton species tend to dominate the zooplankton community. In spring and early summer 2003, grazing by microand mesozooplankton on phytoplankton was investigated at three sites in the upper Schelde estuary. Grazing by mesozoopla...

A new cyclopoid species of the genus Neocyclops Gurney, 1927 is described. Type specimens were collected from a beach on south-western coast of the Korean Peninsula by rinsing intertidal coarse sandy sediments. Neocyclops hoonsooi sp. n. is most characteristic in showing the conspicuous chitinized transverse ridges originating from the medial margins of the coxae of all swimming legs. The new s...

We propose a new species of the oribatid mite genus Fenestrobates (Oribatellidae), F. marauni sp. nov., based on adult specimens from Ecuador. The type species, F. capucinus Balogh and Mahunka, 1969 from Bolivia, is redescribed. We confirm the recombination of two species from the Russian Far East, F. rossicus Krivolutsky, 1974 from the Primorsky Region, and F. vicinus Ryabinin, 1975 from the K...

The author regrets that in the above article, Table 2 contained two erroneous references. For the “Leftover” row, the citation should be Gamse et al. (2003). For the “Cyclops” row, the references should be: Sampath, K., Rubinstein, A.L., Cheng, A.M., Liang, J.O., Fekany, K., Solnica-Krezel, L., Korzh, V., Halpern, M.E., Wright, C.V., 1998. Induction of the zebrafish ventral brain and floorplate...

Loss of knee extension after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament may occur due to a neoproliferative fibrous nodule located anterolateral to the tibial tunnel, termed cyclops syndrome. This nodule occurs usually within the early postoperative period and results in diminished knee extension due to impingement on the intercondylar notch. We report a case of a 24-year-old female patie...
