Zebrafish is becoming an increasingly popular model in the field of visual neuroscience. Although the absorption spectra of its cone photopigments have been described, the cone action spectra were still unknown. In this study we report the action spectra of the four types of zebrafish cone photoreceptors, determined by measuring voltage responses upon light stimulation using whole cell patch cl...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of additives, poly(ethylene glycol) (peg) 1450, poloxamer 407, polyvinyl alcohol (pva) and sodium chloride in order to improve physico-chemical characteristics, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release of bovine serum albumin, form poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (plga) microparticles prepared by the w/o/w solvent evaporation method...

Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS) is an X-linked disorder, which affects hemizygous males more severely than females. It is characterized by mental retardation, short stature, head and facial abnormalities, skeletal anomalies and developmental delays. The signs and symptoms vary in different people. We report a 14-year-old male patient, diagnosed with CLS based on his clinical features. Genetic testi...

Cliff collapse Tall ice cliffs at the edges of sheets can under their own weight in spectacular fashion, a process that considerably hasten sheet mass loss. Bassis et al. used dynamic model to demonstrate this kind be slowed either by upstream thinning or resistive forces from sea and calved debris (see Perspective Golledge Lowry). Conversely, when there is thickening, transition catastrophic o...
