Skeletal muscle tissue is composed of multinucleated fi bers that arise at defi ned periods of embryogenesis from fusion of myoblasts (Buckingham et al., 2003). In particular, embryonic and fetal myoblasts, originating from different waves of myoblasts (Cusella-De Angelis et al., 1994; Relaix et al., 2005), give rise to primary (at about embryonic day [E] 11–12) and secondary (at about E15–16) ...

We would like to arrive at a single coherent pair of credences in X and X. Perhaps we wish to use these to set our own credences; or perhaps we wish to publish them in a report of the WHO as the collective view of expert epidemiologists; or perhaps we wish to use them in a decision-making process to determine how medical research funding should be allocated in 2018. Given their expertise, we wo...

A multi-scale model has been developed for modeling thermal oxidation of ceramic matrix/carbon ber composites used in high temperature environments. The competition between transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the exposed carbon bers and the external environment is simulated using a mass conservation equation in the inert porous matrix. Oxidation at the scale of individual carbon bers...

Optical transmission characteristics of multi-mode synthetic silica-core bers between 325 nm and 800 nm were studied in situ while irradiated with neutrons. In one case, ber samples were placed near the core of a 10-kWatt reactor; in the other, fast neutrons generated by p(18 MeV) + Be reaction in a cyclotron, irradiated the bers. The neutron uence in both studies totaled 10 15 n=cm 2. Both of ...

We demonstrate the fi rst rewritable memory in thermally drawn fi bers. A high tellurium-content chalcogenide glass, contacted by metallic electrodes internal to the fi ber structure, is drawn from a macroscopic preform. An externally applied voltage is utilized to switch between a high resistance (OFF) and a low resistance (ON) state; this in turn allows the fi bers to function as a memory dev...

Th e aim of this study was to evaluate the infl uence of genotype and diet on the characteristics of muscle fi bers and adipocytes of the semitendinosus muscle in crossbred young bulls derived from Brown Swiss cows (B) and double-muscled Piemontese (PI) or Belgian Blue (BB) bulls. For this purpose 24 young bulls divided in 6 groups fed 3 diets have been used: a control diet without supplementat...

The propagation of weakly dispersive modal pulses is investigated using data collected during the 2004 long-range ocean acoustic propagation experiment (LOAPEX). Weakly dispersive modal pulses are characterized by weak dispersion- and scattering-induced pulse broadening; such modal pulses experience minimal propagation-induced distortion and are thus well suited to communications applications. ...
