INTRODUCTION Primordial germ cells have an extra-gonadic origin in the chick embryo. They may be found in the primitive streak or head-process stage, in an area known as the germinal crescent, located in the endoderm anterior and antero-lateral to the primitive streak at the junction of the area opaca and area pellucida (Swift, 1914; Willier, 1937; Reynaud, 1967; Clawson & Domm, 1969). Primordi...

Two recent works have shown that at small Knudsen number (K) the pressure and temperature profiles in plane Poiseuille flow exhibit a different qualitative behavior from the profiles obtained by the Navier-Stokes equations. Tij and Santos [J. Stat. Phys. 76, 1399 (1994)] used the Bhatnagar-Gross-Kook model to show that the temperature profile is bimodal and the pressure profile is nonconstant. ...

Cluster-based and iSCSI-based storage systems rely on standard TCP/IP-over-Ethernet for client access to data. Unfortunately, when data is striped over multiple networked storage nodes, a client can experience a TCP throughput collapse that results in much lower read bandwidth than should be provided by the available network links. Conceptually, this problem arises because the client simultaneo...

Une patiente âgée de 50 ans, monophtalme de l'œil droit nous a été adressée pour une crise aigüe de glaucome par fermeture de l'angle de l'œil droit qui a évolué vers la chronicité malgré le traitement médical précoce. A j1 post trabéculectomie l'examen retrouve une hypotonie à 6 mmHg avec au du fond d'œil présence d'un œdème papillaire et de multiples hémorragies pré-rétiniennes rondes dont ce...

DEDICATION To my loving family iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to thank my advisor, Professor Nenad Medvidovic, for his kind support and guidance during my Ph.D. course. Whenever I was encountered by some difficult problems in my research, he always encouraged me and kindly helped me solve those problems. He was also the only person who gave me a research opportunity, when I had...
