Many studies have focused on defining the critical transcription factors that specify tissue morphogenesis and differentiation. Our understanding of how these spatial regulators are deployed in the proper temporal order, however, has remained less clear. In this issue of Genes & Development, Uyehara and colleagues (pp. 862-875) provide new insights into the mechanisms by which temporal and spat...

2014 The existence of a critical thickness for a hybrid aligned nematic cell has been recently predicted on the basis of the Frank elasticity. The purpose of the present work is to show the dependence of the critical thickness on the surface-like volume elasticity and to find new limits for K13 in terms of the principal elastic constants.

This paper investigates the relationship between the word accuracy and the PESQ (ITU-T Recommendation P.862) score, and the availability of the artificial voice (ITU-T Recommendation P.50) for calculating the PESQ score. For this purpose, recognition experiments using four noise reduction algorithms were performed on the AURORA-2J connected digit recognition task. These results confirmed that t...

We discuss objective estimation methodologies for subjective quality of wideband speech. First, the wideband extension of the current ITU-T Recommendation P.862, which provides a means for objectively estimating subjective quality, is evaluated from the viewpoint of assessing the effects of band limitation. Then, the validity of the objetive assessment is discussed based on the subjective quali...

BACKGROUND Pancreatic insufficient cystic fibrosis (CF) patients receive vitamin A supplementation according to CF-specific recommendations to prevent deficiencies. Whether current recommendations are optimal for preventing both deficiency and toxicity is a subject of debate. We assessed the longitudinal relation between serum retinol levels and appropriate variables. METHODS We studied vitam...
