(Orconectes virilis) Mae Kindler and Jenna McCullough University of Minnesota – Itasca Biological Station Animal Behavior – June 29, 2010 Abstract Territoriality in female northern crayfish, Orconectes virilis, was studied through the observation of resident-intruder crayfish pair interactions based on size asymmetry. Resident-intruder pairings were chosen among 18 crayfish, with a total of 51 ...

OBJECTIVE To present epidemiologic and clinical data from the Australasian Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) Registry, the first orphan disease registry in Australia. DESIGN Observational study (cross-sectional and longitudinal). SETTING Australian private dermatology practice, inpatient ward, and outpatient clinic. PATIENTS Systematic case finding of patients with EB simplex, junctional EB (JEB...

integrin (see figure). The binding of Kindlin to the integrin induces a conformational change in the integrin tail that facilitates the integrin to bind to another protein called Talin. Together, the binding of Kindlin and Talin to an integrin induces changes that allow the integrin to bind to its ligand. Until now, it appeared that the Kindlin-associated diseases—Kindler syndrome and leukocyte...

Reconfigurable systems, that offer flexibility and robustness to efficiently manage quality of service in spite of uncertainties and disturbances, are a necessary evolution of classical controlled systems. As they can change their organization during their use, so their control laws, they become more complex. Two simulations types are presented to analyze such systems. The first one enables to ...

BACKGROUND Inherited epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of skin diseases characterized by blistering of the skin and mucous membranes.There are four major types of EB (EB simplex, junctional EB, dystrophic EB and Kindler syndrome) caused by different gene mutations. Dystrophic EB is derived from mutations in the type VII collagen gene (COL7A1), encoding a protein which is the predominant com...

Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS) is a genodermatosis presenting with a characteristic facial rash (poikiloderma) associated with short stature, sparse scalp hair, sparse or absent eyelashes and/or eyebrows, juvenile cataracts, skeletal abnormalities, radial ray defects, premature aging and a predisposition to cancer. The prevalence is unknown but around 300 cases have been reported in the litera...
