Bric - a - brac of Creative Computing : Studying Fractal Shapes

چکیده
54 Generally, a fractal most often referred to as “a rough shape that can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole.” The father of fractal geometry Benoît Mandelbrot formulated this term in 1975. A fractal has a complicated shape. Certain features characterize a graphical representation of the fractal by mathematical equation: it is self-similar, has fi ne structure, and is very diffi cult to describe it using Euclidian geometric language. It might seem like a nice mathematic abstraction, but fractal geometry, as we believe – is the foundation of everything that exists.

Limb type-specific regulation of bric a brac contributes to morphological diversity.
The insect antenna and leg are considered homologous structures, likely to have arisen via duplication and divergence from an ancestral limb. Consistent with this, the antenna and leg are derived from primordia with similar developmental potentials. Nonetheless, the adult structures differ in both form and function. In Drosophila, one conspicuous morphological difference is that the antenna has...
متن کاملPattern formation in the limbs of Drosophila: bric à brac is expressed in both a gradient and a wave-like pattern and is required for specification and proper segmentation of the tarsus.
We have identified the gene bric à brac and show that it is required for pattern formation along the proximal-distal axis of the leg and antenna of Drosophila. In bric à brac mutant legs, the bristle pattern of the three central tarsal segments is transformed towards the pattern of the most proximal tarsal segment. In addition, bric à brac mutant legs and antennae have segmentation defects. bri...
متن کاملComposite Effects of Polymorphisms near Multiple Regulatory Elements Create a Major-Effect QTL
Many agriculturally, evolutionarily, and medically important characters vary in a quantitative fashion. Unfortunately, the genes and sequence variants accounting for this variation remain largely unknown due to a variety of biological and technical challenges. Drosophila melanogaster contains high levels of sequence variation and low linkage disequilibrium, allowing us to dissect the effects of...
متن کاملQuantitation of the number of molecules of glycophorins C and D on normal red blood cells using radioiodinated Fab fragments of monoclonal antibodies.
Two rat monoclonal antibodies (BRAC 1 and BRAC 11) have been produced. BRAC 1 recognizes an epitope common to the human erythrocyte membrane glycoproteins glycophorin C (GPC) and glycophorin D (GPD). BRAC 11 is specific for GPC. Fab fragments of these antibodies and BRIC 10, a murine monoclonal anti-GPC, were radioiodinated and used in quantitative binding assays to measure the number of GPC an...
