We study in this paper the bifurcation and stability of the solutions of the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation(CGLE). We investigate two different modes of CGLE. We study the first mode of CGLE which has only cubic unstable nonlinear term and later we also study the second mode of CGLE which has both cubic and quintic nonlinear terms. The solutions considered in cubic CGLE bifurcate from the tri...

Quantitative microscope techniques were utilized to examine the adsorption of rhizobial cells to clover root hairs. Adsorption of cells of noninfective strains of Rhizobium trifolii or infective R. meliloti strains to clover root hairs was four to five times less than that of the infective R. trifolii strains. Attachment of the rod-shaped bacteria to clover root cells occurred in a polar, end-o...

Root hairs are tubular extensions of epidermis cells. Transcriptome profiling demonstrated that the single cell-type root hair transcriptome was less complex than the transcriptome of multiple cell-type primary roots without root hairs. In total, 831 genes were exclusively and 5585 genes were preferentially expressed in root hairs [false discovery rate (FDR) ≤1%]. Among those, the most signific...

This article reviews the examination of animal hairs and their role in the forensic arena. The forensic examination of animal hair is a well-established discipline and has been so for two centuries. Examination is largely based on microscopy, which may enable the hair analyst to identify a hair as animal in origin, to characterize the hair to a particular species, and to conduct comparative exa...

The Drosophila wing is covered by an array of distally pointing hairs that has served as a key model system for studying planar cell polarity (PCP). The adult cuticular hairs are formed in the pupae from cell extensions that contain extensive actin filaments and microtubules. The importance of the actin cytoskeleton for hair growth and morphogenesis is clear from the wide range of phenotypes se...

Expert opinions regarding the microscopic comparison of human hairs have been accepted routinely in courts for decades. However, with the advent of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing, an assessment can be made of the association by microscopic hair comparisons in casework between a questioned hair and reference hairs from an individual. While each method can be used separately, the two analyt...

Adults of Oncopeltus fasciatus, the milkweed bug, are covered with an evenly spaced mat of hairs. Each of these hairs develops from a single selected epidermal cell which divides and differentiates in situ. The process which picks out the particular epidermal cell is a simple example of pattern formation. Using a measure of uniformity of distribution an attempt was made to analyse the developme...
