In human beings, the muscles of the sole of the foot are known to exhibit variations. During routine cadaveric dissection, an anomalous attachment of the flexor digiti minimi muscle was observed on both sides of a 55 year male cadaver. The flexor digiti minimi muscle had its usual origin from the plantar surface of base of the fifth metatarsal bone and the sheath of the peroneus longus muscle a...

During routine dissection of the temporal and infratemporal region of a 60-year-old male cadaver, a variation in the supply of the middle deep temporal nerve was observed. It was seen to arise from the anterior trunk of the mandibular nerve. It passed deep to the tendinous arch on the infratemporal crest to reach the temporal region, where it supplied the temporalis muscle. Then, it pierced the...

Business groups are a common type of enterprise in late-developing countries, yet their existence appears to be at odds with extant theory in strategic management. Drawing on Schumpeter, we suggest that entrepreneurs in late development build a business group by engaging in a distinct type of innovation. Instead of creating new products they leverage local and foreign contacts to combine foreig...

swine and humans; Borna disease virus, causing neurologic disease in various species of animals as well as, debatably, psychiatric disorders in humans; and the recently discovered severe acute respiratory syndrome–associated coronavirus and its yet-undefined animal reservoir. The recent mapping of the genome of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis, the etiologic agent of Jhone’s dise...

journals. Recent milestones include the Bethesda Open Access Principles meeting (1), the Wellcome Trust endorsement of Open Access, and support from the Howard Hughes Medical Foundation and a number of leading European scientific societies. A panel of speakers gave stakeholders’ perspectives. Sheldon Kotzin reviewed the National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) priorities regarding access to, and pe...

The longevity of Caenorhabditis elegans is promoted by extra copies of the sir-2.1 gene in a manner dependent on the forkhead transcription factor DAF-16. We identify two C. elegans 14-3-3 proteins as SIR-2.1 binding partners and show that 14-3-3 genes are required for the life-span extension conferred by extra copies of sir-2.1. 14-3-3 proteins are also required for SIR-2.1-induced transcripti...

We study the only missing case in the classification of quantum SL(3, C)’s undertaken in our paper [J. of Algebra 213 (1999), 721–756], thereby completing this classification.
