Most organs scale proportionally with body size through regulation of individual cell size and/or cell number. Here we addressed how postmitotic and morphologically complex cells such as neurons scale with the body size by using the dendritic arbor of one Drosophila sensory neuron as an assay system. In small adults eclosed under a limited-nutrition condition, the wild-type neuron preserved the...

One of the main challenges in developing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems is to create a static coil that needs to generate magnetic field density along with the characteristics of optimal homogeneity and magnitude size. To do this, two N42 Block PMs are used and the iron core is designed and optimized in accordance with the dimensions of PM pieces using ANSYS Maxwell software. Then, al...

The principle object of this paper is to offer a modified design of Rogowski coil based on its frequency response. The improvement of the integrator circuit for nullifying the phase difference between the waveforms of the measured-current and the corresponding terminal voltage is a further object of this investigation. This paper addresses an accurate, yet more efficient measuring and protect...

statement of problem: a recent technique (mbt) has been introduced for easy and efficient orthodontic treatment by means of straight wire fixed appliances. although this technique has many advantages, in space closure stage causes up righting problem in upper incisors, which should be adjusted by applying additional torque in anterior region. purpose: the purpose of this clinical trial was to d...

NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are important for neuronal development and circuit formation. The NMDAR subunits NR2A and NR2B are biophysically distinct and differentially expressed during development but their individual contribution to structural plasticity is unknown. Here we test whether NR2A and NR2B subunits have specific functions in the morphological development of tectal neurons in living Xen...

Recombinant influenza viruses made at 25 and 33” in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells using the cold-adapted A/Ann Arbor/6/60 virus and the wild-type A/ Alaska/6/‘77 virus were biologically and genetically analyzed. Eight recombinants were separated into two phenotypic groups based on cold-adapted (ca) and temperature-sensitive (ts) markers: ca and ts, ca and non-m. The ca recombinants sho...

Hitherto Japanese B encephalitis (JBE) virus has been isolated in many instances from men, animals and mosquitoes and it has been thought probable that JBE virus is the only prevalent arbor virus in Japan. In the meantime, Ando et al. (1952) reported the isolation of a virus (Negishi virus) from the autopsied brain of a patient clinically diagnosed as JBE. By our recent studies, evidences have ...
