In plants, cell wall placement during cytokinesis is determined by the position of the preprophase band (PPB) and the subsequent expansion of the phragmoplast, which deposits the new cell wall, to the cortical division site delineated by the PPB. New cell walls are often incorrectly oriented during asymmetric cell divisions in the leaf epidermis of maize (Zea mays) discordia1 (dcd1) mutants, an...

BACKGROUND To investigate whether an apoptotic process demonstrated by (99m)Tc-annexin-V ((99m)Tc-AV) uptake correlates with left ventricular remodeling (LVR) after myocardial infarction, we assessed (99m)Tc-AV uptake in rat model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. METHODS The left coronary artery (LCA) of 15 rats was occluded for 20 to 30 min, followed by reperfusion. After 2 weeks, (99...

A concrete block retaining wall is supported by its weight. This structure has some advantages, including lower construction costs, a water-permeable that produces less water pressure behind the wall, and more flexible because it can follow ground's contours. Rankine's theory usually used to design this wall. According theory, failure pattern forms an angle of 450 + • /2 with horizontal plane. ...
