The production of organ parenchyma in a rapid and reproducible manner is critical to normal development. In chimeras produced by the combination of genetically distinguishable tissues, mosaic patterns of cells derived from the combined genotypes can be visualized. These patterns comprise patches of contiguously similar genotypes and are different in different organs but similar in a given organ...

Landscape structure in a forest mosaic changes with spatial scale (i.e. spatial extent) and thresholds may occur where structure changes markedly. Forest management alters landscape structure and may affect the intensity and location of thresholds. Our purpose was to examine landscape structure at different scales to determine thresholds where landscape structure changes markedly in managed for...

Background: Channa striatus or better known as the haruan fish is an indigenous, snakehead, striped, air breathing freshwater fish of Malaysia and has long been consumed traditionally during post-operative and post-partum period to speed recovery. Most medical properties of the haruan are contributed to its high content of essential fatty and amino acids. This was a phase I clinical trial to ex...

Background: Inlet patch (IP) lesion is the presence of gastric columnar epithelial tissue outside of the stomach. Symptoms such as a lump in the throat, chronic cough, laryngitis, or other mouth-throat symptoms may be IP-related only and have no other abnormalities. This study aimed to determine the relationship between globus sensation and structural disorder of Inlet Patch in patients with ga...

Even as ecologists documented the importance of disturbance and non-equilibrium in vegetation dynamics, they began to ask whether the dramatic changes at the local, patch scale, would contribute to an equilibrium at larger spatial scales. Heinselman (1973) hypothesized a ‘shifting mosaic’ for the dynamics of boreal forests in which the spatial location of recent burns and stands of various succ...

The retina of anamniotes (fish and amphibia), unlike the CNS of most vertebrates, can regenerate neurons following injury. Using the highly ordered mosaic of single and double cones in the retina of the adult green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) as our model system, we examined the events that followed the surgical excision of a small patch of central retina. After surgery there was a transient el...

cucumber mosaic virus (cmv) belongs to the genus cucumovirus in the family bromoviridae. althaea officinalis, commonly known as hollyhocks in the family malvaceae, is an annual plant whose fruit, flower and root are used as medicinal products. in this study, five samples of hollyhocks leaves with viral symptoms were collected and cmv was detected using das-elisa from the samples. ta-alth isolat...
