Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MGS) is a lethal autosomal recessive condition which is rarely reported. Polycystic kidneys, polydactyly, occipital encephalocele are the diagnostic triad for MGS. 24 year old G2P1L1 having a consanguineous marriage at 20 weeks of gestation on detailed level II anomaly scan showed bilateral enlarged polycystic kidneys with increased echogenicity, absent urinary bladder, ...

Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs) has announced, as part of its main 3Rs research funding call in 2009, a priority funding area for projects that replace animals protected under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 with invertebrate models. Those interested in submitting an application in this area should contact the NC3Rs. The closing date for full applications is 25 February 20...

Resource sharing within grid collaborations usually implies specific sharing mechanisms at participating sites. Challenging policy issues can arise in such scenarios that integrate participants and resources spanning multiple physical institutions. Resource owners may wish to grant to one or more virtual organizations (VOs) the right to use certain resources subject to local usage policies and ...

Meckel-Gruber Syndrome (MKS) is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by a combination of central nervous system malformation (occipital encephalocele), post-axial polydactyly, and enlarged polycystic kidney dysplasia. With a recurrence risk of 25% this lethal syndrome can be detected in early screening by ultrasound. However, to the authors' knowledge, association of MKS with unilater...

This document describes a compositional modeling language, CML, which is a general declarative modeling language for logically specifying the symbolic and mathematical properties of the structure and behavior of physical systems . CML is intended to facilitate model sharing between research groups, many of which have long been using similar languages . These languages are based primarily on the...
