0.1. Let K be a nonarchimedean local field with a residue field of cardinal q. Let G(K) be the group of K-rational points of a connected, adjoint simple algebraic group G defined over K which becomes split over an unramified extension of K. Let U(G(K)) be the set of isomorphism classes of unipotent representations of G(K) (see [L4, 1.21]). Let G be a simply connected almost simple algebraic gro...

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships between specific anthropometric (9 skinfolds, 13 girths, 8 lengths and 8 breadths), body composition (body fat %, fat free mass [FFM], fat mass [FM]) parameters and bone mineral parameters (bone mineral density [BMD], bone mineral content [BMC) in young rhythmic gymnasts and same age controls. Eighty nine 7-8-year-old girls participated ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association between L5 hypoplasia and bilateral spondylolysis was described earlier on conventional radiographs of the lumbar spine. The purpose of this study was to describe the findings on MR imaging in patients with hypoplasia of L5 and to correlate these findings with the presence of bilateral spondylolysis of L5. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied the MR images of...

AIM To assess the clinical outcomes and compare the segmental range of motion (ROM) at the implanted L4-L5 level, the cranial and caudal adjacent levels, and the ROM of the whole lumbar spine after semi-rigid lumbar fusion with 2 different devices. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with neurogenic claudication, due to grade 1 spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis at levels L4-L5, were treated eit...

Phyllosphere microbiota play a crucial role in plant-environment interactions and their microbial community and function are influenced by biotic and abiotic factors. However, there is little research on how pathogens affect the microbial community of phyllosphere fungi. In this study, we collected 16 pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) leaf samples which exhibited powdery mildew disease, with a sever...

Although several molecules have been shown to play important roles in subtype specification of neocortical neurons, the entire mechanism involved in the specification, in particular, of upper cortical plate (UCP) neurons still remains unclear. The UCP, which is responsible for intracortical connections in the neocortex, comprises histologically, functionally, and molecularly different layer 2/3...
