For simplicity, we adopt the following convention: a, b, c, d, r1, r2, r3, r, r4, s1, s2 are real numbers, p, q are points of E 2 T , P is a subset of the carrier of E2 T , and X, Y , Z are non empty topological spaces. Next we state a number of propositions: (1) For all a, b, c holds c ∈ [a, b] iff a ¬ c and c ¬ b. (2) Let f be a continuous mapping from X into Y and g be a continuous mapping f...

Within the developing vertebrate head, neural crest cells (NCCs) migrate from the dorsal surface of the hindbrain into the mesenchyme adjacent to rhombomeres (r)1 plus r2, r4 and r6 in three segregated streams. NCCs do not enter the intervening mesenchyme adjacent to r3 or r5, suggesting that these regions contain a NCC-repulsive activity. We have used surgical manipulations in the chick to dem...

in this study, effect of different concentration of ascorbic acid (asa, 0, 2, 4 and 6 mm) on delaying senescence in cut rose flowers cv. royall class was investigated based on factorial design. the results showed that the greatest delay in senescence was obtained with 4 mm asa as compared to control (distilled water). therefore, fresh weight and diameter of flowers treated with 4 mm asa was mor...

Observations of knock-out mice suggest that breathing at birth requires correct development of a specific hindbrain territory corresponding to rhombomeres (r) 3 and 4. Focusing on this territory, we examined the development of a neuronal rhythm generator in the chick embryo. We show that rhythmic activity in r4 is inducible after developmental stage 10 through interaction with r3. Although the ...
