NON-RANDOM REPRESENTATION OF CHROMOSOME TYPES IN HUMAN TUMOR STEMLINES

Non-Random Chromosome Segregation in Stem Cells

There are many small bits of conventional wisdom in biology whose general truths may be widely assumed, despite limited evidence from rather narrow circumstances. One such bit of wisdom concerns the random separation of chromosomes into daughter cells during mitosis. In a new study, Thomas Rando and colleagues show that for muscle stem cells, that separation is anything but random. Before every...

A Representation for Non-colliding Random Walks

Let D0(R+ ) denote the space of cadlag paths f : R+ → R with f(0) = 0. For f, g ∈ D0(R+ ), define f ⊗ g ∈ D0(R+ ) and f g ∈ D0(R+ ) by (f ⊗ g)(t) = inf 0≤s≤t [f(s) + g(t) − g(s)], and (f g)(t) = sup 0≤s≤t [f(s) + g(t) − g(s)]. Unless otherwise deleniated by parentheses, the default order of operations is from left to right; for example, when we write f ⊗ g ⊗ h, we mean (f ⊗ g) ⊗ h. Define a seq...

heterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings

from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...

comparative study of gender representation in top notch and ili series

esl/efl books play a crucial role in shaping language learners worldview of gender roles in society. the present study investigated the status of sexism in two sets of efl textbooks, one developed by non-native iranian authors (ili series) and the other by native authors (top notch series). first, two books from each series was selected randomly. then, a quantitative analysis was carried out wi...
