We have identified a novel dominant mouse mutant that is characterised by fused toes on the fore limbs and a thymic hyperplasia, in heterozygous animals. Homozygosity of the mutation leads to malformation of the developing brain, lost of the genetic control of left-right asymmetry and to death around day 10 of development. Analysis of both limb development and induction of apoptosis in immature...

A dynamically symmetric satellite in a circular orbit of small inclination is considered. The problem the Lorentzian stabilization orbital coordinate system indirect equilibrium position solved under conditions perturbing effect gravitational torque. To solve this problem, which characterized by incomplete control, method averaging differential equations developed. Using original construction u...

An asymmetric ratchet structure within microchannels is demonstrated by directionally guided light transmission for controlled liquid flow. A direct and facile method is presented to realize programmed asymmetric structures, which control the fluid direction and speed.

What should be taught in a library instruction program for general biology students is presented and two ways of providing the instruction are discussed. The two methods, lecture-demonstration and guided exercise (form of programmed instruction), are described, and evaluated for their effectiveness. The evaluations considered are students' ability to collect a satisfactory bibliography, scores ...

In this position paper we discuss the application of personalization in persuasive technology design in light of the Personalized Design Process model (PDP-model). The PDP-model defines personalization as aligning a persuasive product to the end-user by stakeholder involvement (i.e. designers, endusers, domain experts and family/relatives) across the Problem Definition-, the Product Designand/o...
