The contiguous DNA sequence of a 60 kb genomic interval of barley chromosome 4HL has been assembled. The region harbours a single and novel gypsy -like retrotransposon, designated BAGY-1. Only three genes appear to reside in the genomic stretch. One predicts a plant homologue of ribophorin I, a subunit of the oligosaccharyltransferase-protein complex located in the rough endoplasmatic reticulum...

Generative programming is a discipline of Automatic programming which strives to make application and the generator development process flexible and generated program code optimized. Because of the lack of appropriate graphic and aspect based generator models, we developed the Scripting model of generator, as a static generator model based on higher level scripts. This paper gives a formal defi...

A 78‐year‐old male presented with a non‐healing ulcer over the right ring finger since 2 years. He gave a history of few raw lesions on the lateral aspect of the right ring finger 2 years ago following a trauma to the right hand. He consulted a local practitioner for the same complaints and was treated with oral antibiotics, antifungals and anti‐inflammatory drugs with topical antibacterial cre...

Ependymoma originated from the ventricular surface of ependymal epithelium cells are neuroepithelial tumors, 90% in the brain, and most of them are located in the posterior fossa, especially in the bottom wall of the fourth ventricle, 10% in spinal cord. Slightly more men than women, the annual incidence rate of about 2/100 million. Because the disease is relatively rare, almost no randomized c...

Learning is based on the remodeling of neural connections in the brain. The purpose of the present study was to examine the extent to which training-induced improvements in tactile frequency discrimination in humans are correlated with an increase of cortical representations in the primary somatosensory cortex. Healthy male subjects (n = 16) were trained in a tactile frequency discrimination ta...

Program visualization can be used profitably to help a programmer gain an understanding of the program's meaning. In our context this process is called program analysis. The paper first points out that program analysis is highly individual and is influenced by the person involved and by the aim of the process. Secondly, it describes what consequences evolve out of the program analysis character...

Pterosaurs, flying reptiles from the Mesozoic, had wing membranes that were supported by their arm bones and a super-elongate fourth finger. Associated with the wing, pterosaurs also possessed a unique wrist bone--the pteroid--that functioned to support the forward part of the membrane in front of the leading edge, the propatagium. Pteroid shape varies across pterosaurs and reconstructions of i...
