The JVP domes were widely used to detect the tactile sensitivity reported by participants, which declined with influence of aging. However, it is still unknown how decline spatial can orientation discrimination. In current study, we test discrimination older participants (n = 22, age 63 – 77, means 69.9). Our results found that accuracy wider grating was higher than narrow grating. Moreover, ea...

JJEE BB CC llaa ssss iicc ss JEB Classics is an occasional column, featuring historic publications from The Journal of Experimental Biology. These articles, written by modern experts in the field, discuss each classic paper’s impact on the field of biology and their own work. A PDF of the original paper accompanies each article, and can be found on the journal’s website as supplemental data. SM...

Monolithic dome structures were built in the 1970s Europe and America. These share common benefits of being cost efficient, earth-friendly, extremely durable, easily maintained. shells are constructed cost-effective. domes respond efficiently to any climate, even cold or hot temperatures. In terms utility savings, monolithic can cut electricity consumption by up one-third, thereby saving 60–70%...

We evaluated the diaphragmatic excursion, volumetric measurement, maximal inspiratory pressure (PI(max)), lung function tests (forced vital capacity-FVC, forced expiratory volume in the first second-FEV1, mean forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% of the FVC maneuver-FEF(25-75%), peak expiratory flow-PEF and maximal voluntary ventilation-MVV), displacement of the domes diaphragmatics with u...

OBJECTIVE To describe in detail a technique to achieve cephalic rotation, projection, and narrowing of the nasal tip, the "new domes" technique. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of more than 3000 primary rhinoplasties performed during the last 20 years. SETTING A private facial plastic surgery practice in Bogotá, Colombia. INTERVENTION Through an endonasal cartilage delivery approach to the ...

We have studied the M cell origin and differentiation pathway in rabbit gut-associated lymphoid tissues. Micro-dissected domes and epithelium isolated by ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid detachment allowed us to view the whole epithelial surface from the bottom of crypts to the top of domes. We used monoclonal antibodies specific to the apex of either M cells or dome enterocytes, lectins, and...

BACKGROUND Relapsing fever (RF) spirochetes are notable for multiphasic antigenic variation of polymorphic outer membrane lipoproteins, a phenomenon responsible for immune evasion. An additional role in tissue localization is suggested by the finding that isogenic serotypes 1 (Bt1) and 2 (Bt2) of the RF spirochete Borrelia turicatae, which differ only in the Vsp they express, exhibit marked dif...

Pachycephalosaurian dinosaurs have dorsally thickened crania and uniquely shaped frontoparietal domes in some genera, suggested as evidence for heador flank-butting behavior. Trabeculae thought to have resisted impact compression are present as only one histological zone of some pachycephalosaur domes, and are surrounded superficially or replaced by thick compacta in adults. The capabilities of...
