A test of the predictions of the boundary model regarding supernumerary limb structure.
نویسنده
چکیده
The model proposed in the preceding paper (Meinhardt, 1983) makes specific predictions about the handedness of supernumerary limbs generated after 180 degrees rotation of blastemas. These predictions are tested here by re-examining, in detail, the structure of 100 of these supernumeraries. Of the four predictions, only one was found not to hold. The other three are remarkably precise in their predictions and fit perfectly with the data. A possible reason for the failure of this one prediction is suggested.

Developing supernumerary limbs is a rare congenital condition that only a few cases have been documented. Depending on the cause and developmental conditions, they may be single, multiple or complicated, and occur as a syndrome or associated with other anomalies. Polymelia is defined as the presence of extra limb(s) which have been reported in human, mouse, chicken, calf and lamb. It seems that...

The regional waters in Singapore Strait are characterized by complex hydrodynamic phenomena as a result of the combined effect of three large water bodies viz. the South China Sea, the Andaman Sea, and the Java Sea. This leads to anomalies in water levels and generates residual currents. Numerical hydrodynamic models are generally used for predicting water levels in the ocean and seas. But thei...

Case Description- A three month Holstein female calf with a supernumerary limb in the caudal cervical region was delivered to a private veterinary clinic in Kashmar.Clinical Findings- Clinical and radiographical examinations revealed a vestigial scapula, distally bifurcated humerus, two underdeveloped ulnae, two ossification centers for radius and more or less complete duplication of manus in t...
متن کاملA boundary model for pattern formation in vertebrate limbs.
We postulate that positional information for secondary embryonic fields is generated by a cooperative interaction between two pairs of differently determined cell types. Positional information is thus generated at the boundaries between cells of different determination. The latter are assumed to result from the primary pattern formation in the embryo. The application of this model to vertebrate...

In this article we have developed third order exact finite difference method for the numerical solution of third order boundary value problems. We constructed our numerical technique without change in structure of the coefficient matrix of the second-order method in cite{Pand}. We have discussed convergence of the proposed method. Numerical experiments on model test problems approves the simply...
