Limb development constitutes a central model for the study of tissue and organ patterning; yet, the mechanisms that regulate the patterning of limb vasculature have been left understudied. Vascular patterning in the forming limb is tightly regulated in order to ensure sufficient gas exchange and nutrient supply to the developing organ. Once skeletogenesis is initiated, limb vasculature undergoe...

Condensing osteitis of the clavicle was first described as a disease entity in 1974. There is painful localised swelling of the clavicle of undetermined origin, with increased radio-density, but an infective aetiology has not been excluded by previous authors. We report three children with the clinical and radiological findings of 'condensing osteitis'. Two of them had raised levels of antistap...

specificity is determined by the condensing enzyme, namely 8-ketoacyl-[acyl-carrier-proteinlsynthase 11. For the barley complex they are CoA derivatives which give rise to the C,,, C,, and C,, 3-oxoacyl key intermediates. One can speculate that the condensing enzyme activity specified by the cer-cqu-determined polypeptide is responsible for the noted substrate specificity. Therefore, should one...

In this paper, the effect of the dimensionality of data sets on the exploitation of synergy among known nearest neighbor (NN) editing and condensing tools is analyzed using a synthetic data set. The synergy is exploited through a tandem mode of fusion approach that combines the proximity graph (PG) based editing scheme and the minimal consistent set (MCS) condensing technique. These two methods...

Refrigerant compressors can be a primary noise source in residential air conditioning and heat pump systems. When evaluating the contribution of a compressor to the total noise, it is necessary to consider how the compressor couples to the condensing unit. Compressors typically couple to the condensing unit via three different types of noise paths. First, the compressor couples structurally to ...
