The ultrastructure of the lumenal plasma membrane of the cow urianry bladder has been studied in thin sections of glutaraldehyde- and glutaraldehyde-H2O2-fixed specimens, by negative staining and freeze fracture. A regular hexagonal array of particles confined to polygonal plaques 0-1-0-4-mum in diameter and separated by 0-02-mum interplaque areas is revealed by all 3 techniques. Cross-sections...

We study the continuation passing style (CPS) transform and its generalization, the computational transform, in which the notion of computation is generalized from continuation passing to an arbitrary one. To establish a relation between direct style and continuation passing style interpretation of sequential call-by-value programs, we prove the Retraction Theorem which says that a lambda term ...

Interval-based rhythm metrics were applied to the speech of English, Catalan and Spanish female adults addressing their children (aged 2, 4 and 6 years) and compared with their speech when addressing adults. Results reveal that when mothers speak to their children, their speech is more vocalic and more even-timed than when they address other adults. However, cross-linguistic differences are sti...

Trans-differentiation to a transfer-cell morphology is characterized by the localized deposition of wall ingrowth papillae that protrude into the cytosol. Whether the cortical microtubule array directs wall ingrowth papillae formation was investigated using a Vicia faba cotyledon culture system in which their adaxial epidermal cells were spontaneously induced to trans-differentiate to transfer ...

The style of an image plays a significant role in how it is viewed, but style has received little attention in computer vision research. We describe an approach to predicting style of images, and perform a thorough evaluation of different image features for these tasks. We find that features learned in a multi-layer network generally perform best – even when trained with object class (not style...

Polymers stabilize the nanoparticles onto which they wrap, avoiding coagulation and undesired phase separation processes. Wrapping gives rise to hybrid colloids, is useful in bio-intended applications. In non-covalent interaction modes, polymers physically adsorb nanoparticles’ surface, NPs, some of their portions protrude outside. Both non-interacting parts free are contact with solvent, and/o...

in north of iran, a style of architecture has formed over time which is specific to the culture and the weather conditions of that region. this style of architecture is the result of the extrovert nature of the locals and is deeply rooted in islam as well as the persian civilization. sagha nefar is a type of nefar which takes its name from hazrat abolfazl, the half-brother of the imam of shia f...

In team sports, such as basketball and volleyball, the players use different takeoff styles to make the vertical jump. The two-foot vertical jump styles have been classified according to the landing style and identified as Hop style, when both feet touch the ground at the same time and Step-close style, when there is a slight delay between the first and second foot making contact with the groun...

The gel-filtration behaviour of calf thymus histone fraction F2(b) was studied at three different salt concentrations (0.01m-, 0.10m- and 1.00m-sodium chloride) and two different pH ranges (pH3-4 and pH6.7-7.1). Other histone fractions [F1, F2(a) and F3] were also utilized to assist interpretation of the data. It was found that the Stokes radius of histone fraction F2(b) was not significantly c...
