A Structurally Specialized Uniform Wall Layer is Essential for Constructing Wall Ingrowth Papillae in Transfer Cells

Transfer cells are characterized by wall labyrinths with either a flange or reticulate architecture. A literature survey established that reticulate wall ingrowth papillae ubiquitously arise from a modified component of their wall labyrinth, termed the uniform wall layer; a structure absent from flange transfer cells. This finding sparked an investigation of the deposition characteristics and r...

Polarized and persistent Ca2+ plumes define loci for formation of wall ingrowth papillae in transfer cells

Polarized and persistent Ca²⁺ plumes define loci for formation of wall ingrowth papillae in transfer cells.

Transfer cell morphology is characterized by a polarized ingrowth wall comprising a uniform wall upon which wall ingrowth papillae develop at right angles into the cytoplasm. The hypothesis that positional information directing construction of wall ingrowth papillae is mediated by Ca(2+) signals generated by spatiotemporal alterations in cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]cyt) of cells trans-differentia...

Influence of Non-Uniform Wall Temperature on Local Heat Transfer Coefficient in a Rotating Square Channel

 Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental examination of the effect of non-uniform wall temperature on local heat transfer coefficient in a rotating smooth-walled square channel. Three different thermal boundary situations were investigated: (a) even and odd (four) wall uniform temperature, (b) even and odd (four) wall uniform heat flux, and (c) even (leading and trailing) w...

Constructing Specialized Shape Analyses for Uniform Change

This paper is concerned with one of the basic problems in abstract interpretation, namely, for a given abstraction and a given set of concrete transformers (that express the concrete semantics of a program), how does one create the associated abstract transformers? We develop a new methodology for addressing this problem, based on a syntactically restricted language for expressing concrete tran...
