Ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) is considered a mixed odontogenic tumor that is characterized by conserved epithelial and ectomesenchymal neoplastic components. AFD is composed of long narrow cords and islands of odontogenic epithelium; the epithelial strands lie in a myxoid cell-rich ectomesenchymal tissue with stellate-shaped fibroblasts that exhibit long slender cytoplasmic extensions that...

Coating surfaces with different fluids is prone to instability producing inhomogeneous films and patterns. The contact line between the coating fluid and the surface to be coated is host to different instabilities, limiting the use of a variety of coating techniques. Here we take advantage of the instability of a receding contact line towards cusp and droplet formation to produce linear pattern...

ROYAL AIRCRAFT ESTABLISHMENT Some simple conical c~mbcr shapes to produce low lift-depend,cnt drag on a slender delta wing G. G. Brebner This note presents some of the theoretical aerodynamic characteristics of narrow delta wings having flat csntre portions and two types of simple conical camber designed to produce zero load at the leading edge at the design C,.,. Slender wing theory is used in...

We investigate synchronized hyperedge replacement (SHR) as general framework for distributed programming and system design. We propose a slender version of SHR which dramaticaly reduces the mathematical overhead of the original proposal [5] and use it to interpret the distributed CCS [7] and the calculus of Mobile Ambients [1] in a uniform semantic framework. The encodings are bisimulations. A ...

In the context of increasing returns markets, the conventional argument is that a slender market share advantage may entrain a firm on a trajectory bound for monopoly in the long run. We revisit this with the linear urn model representation of history dependence, and a probabilistic characterization of eventual dominance. It is possible to explore the implications of varying the strength of fee...

The genus Epimesoplecia Zhang, 2007 of Protopleciidae is revised based on five new species, Epimesopleciaplethora sp. n., Epimesopleciaprosoneura sp. n., Epimesopleciastana sp. n., Epimesopleciamacrostrena sp. n., and Epimesopleciaambloneura sp. n., described and illustrated from the Jiulongshan Formation of China. These new species, with clearly preserved characters of (1) compound eyes connec...

A case of neonatal Marfan syndrome is presented. The patient was noted to have cardiomegaly and tricuspid regurgitation on antenatal ultrasound scan. She was born with long, slender fingers and toes, an aged appearance and non-paralytic hypotonia. Echocardiogram revealed a dilated right atrium, right ventricle, dysplastic tricuspid valve and severe tricuspid regurgitation. She subsequently died...

Two structurally distinct types (A, B) of microscopic sarcocysts were found in muscles of 4 of 5 feral skunks. Type A sarcocysts had sarcocyst walls of up to 6 microm thick. The villar protrusions (Vp) on the sarcocyst wall were up to 5 microm long. The Vp were constricted at the base, expanded in the middle, and had a blunt tip. Numerous microtubules were present in the Vp and in the granular ...

The Lujan-Fryns syndrome or X-linked mental retardation with marfanoid habitus syndrome is a syndromal X-linked form of mental retardation, affecting predominantly males. The prevalence is not known for the general population. The syndrome is associated with mild to moderate mental retardation, distinct facial dysmorphism (long narrow face, maxillary hypoplasia, small mandible and prominent for...

Evidence has been given that the adult heart contains a specific population of stromal cells lying in close spatial relationship with cardiomyocytes and with cardiac stem cells in sub-epicardial cardiogenic niches. Recently termed 'telocytes' because of their long cytoplasmic processes embracing the parenchymal cells, these cells have been postulated to be involved in heart morphogenesis. In ou...
