The homeotic genes in Drosophila melanogaster are aligned on the chromosome in the order of the body segments that they affect. The genes affecting the more posterior segments repress the more anterior genes. This posterior dominance rule must be qualified in the case of abdominal-A (abd-A) repression by Abdominal-B (Abd-B). Animals lacking Abd-B show ectopic expression of abd-A in the epidermi...

Compact fuzzy topological spaces were first introduced by Chang [3]. o-compact fuzzy topological spaces were introduced by Gantner et al. [4]. Abd El-Monsef et al. [1] introduced the notion of e-aimost compact fuzzy topological spaces. Mashhour et al. [8] introduced the notion of bifuzzy topological spaces and defined the notion of o-compactness in those spaces. In this paper, we obtain some ne...

In the article ''Bariatric Bypass Surgery to Resolve Complicated Childhood Morbid Obesity: Case Report Study'', which appeared in Volume 94, Issue 49 of Medicine, Dr. Elrazek's name was incorrectly presented as Abd Elrazek M. Ali Hussein when it should have read Abd Elrazek Abd Elrazek. The article has since been corrected online.

In Drosophila the Abdominal-B (Abd-B) domain of the bithorax complex specifies the identities of several posterior abdominal segments, comprises homeo-protein-coding regions and cis-regulatory regions, and extends from infra-abdominal-5 (iab-5) to iab-8, inclusive. Mutations that eliminate the Abd-B domain act as late embryonic lethals and result in transformations of posterior abdominal segmen...

BACKGROUND In response to emotional faces, patients with adolescent bipolar disorder (ABD) exhibit increased neural activity in subcortical emotional processing regions (e.g., amygdala, ventral striatum) and variable prefrontal activity. We extend previous research by identifying cortical and subcortical regions showing altered hemodynamic response shapes in ABD relative to healthy controls (HC...

We describe parallel software, PMIRKDC, for solving boundary value ordinary differential equations (BVODEs). This software is based on the package, MIRKDC, which employs monoimplicit Runge-Kutta schemes within a defect control algorithm. The primary computational costs involve the treatment of large, almost block diagonal (ABD) linear systems. The most significant feature of PMIRKDC is the repl...

The genus Acrocrytus is reported from Chinese mainland for the first time, with description of two new species Acrocyrtus zhujiensis sp. n. and Acrocyrtus finis sp. n. from Zhejiang Province, East China. They can be separated from other species of this genus by colour pattern, unscaled appendages (antennae, legs and ventral tube), interocular chaetae, labial basal chaetae, bothriotrichal comple...
