Nematocytes in Hydra differentiate from interstitial stem cells. Desmonemes differentiate mainly in the distal half of the body column while stenoteles differentiate predominantly in the proximal half. This difference was used to determine the timing of nematocyte-type commitment in the differentiation pathway. Cells were transferred from distal or proximal regions to all positions in the body ...

Indoor channel measurements for body and personal area network applications have been conducted between a number of on-body positions and to three nearbypeer locations. Particular attention has been paid to the relation between the channel characteristics and the user’s motion. The results demonstrate how the channel characteristics in BANs/PANs are dominated by the effects of body blocking. Wi...

ABSTRACT This article analyzes how niche parties may utilize a strategy of policy shifting to garner additional voters. It leverages unique opportunity in which Costa Rican political party released two different versions its manifesto at moments during single election cycle. rare uncovers the shifted from having hard conservative stance on social issues, such as abortion, moderating and centeri...

Detailed information about the electrophysical behaviour of the heart can be obtained by measuring electrical potentials in combination with the position of the measurement electrodes and the conductivity distribution in the body. This study describes a less expensive approach to create a model of a human thorax, and thus, the conductivity distribution. In a preprocessing step, a rigid electrod...

In association with its nation building projects, the imperial government in Brazil under monarchic rule took some concrete actions based on proposals for physical education. The aim of this article is to investigate the meanings and significations attributed to this subject in the legislation and the annual reports issued by the Ministry of Business of the Empire (1831-1889), giving special at...

PURPOSE To evaluate how aging alters 24-hour measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP) in the sitting and supine body positions. METHODS Fifteen older volunteers with healthy eyes (ages, 53-71 years) were each housed for 1 day in a sleep laboratory. An 8-hour accustomed sleep period was assigned to each subject. Every 2 hours, measurements of IOP were taken in the sitting and supine position...

The C. elegans Q neuroblasts and their descendants migrate along the anteroposterior (A/P) body axis to positions that are not associated with any obvious landmarks. We find that a novel protein, MIG-13, is required to position these cells correctly. MIG-13 is a transmembrane protein whose expression is restricted to the anterior and central body regions by Hox gene activity. MIG-13 functions n...

In humans, the lateral recumbent position has a beneficial effect on haemodynamics. If this effect is substantial in small animals too, there is a risk of misinterpretation in preclinical investigations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the impact of acute changes in body position on haemodynamics in rats. Healthy rats (n=21) and rats post myocardial infarction (n=20) were random...
