We review topics related to the dispersal of young stars from their birth-sites, and focus in particular on the entourage of young stars related to the ongoing star-formation event in the Sco-Cen OB association. We conduct a follow-up kinematic study to that presented in Mamajek, Lawson, & Feigelson (2000; ApJ 544, 356) amongst nearby, isolated, young stars. In addition to the η Cha and TW Hya ...

thesis, absorption or flow of the Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) and is a common developmental disability in humans. Although CH has a significant genetic component in mice and humans, it is poorly understood at the molecular level. The Subcommissural Organ (SCO), a gland residing at the dorsal opening of the Sylvian aqueduct, has been implicated in CSF flow maintenance. We have established BAC tr...

During brain development, Pax6 is expressed in specific regions of the diencephalon including secretory cells of the subcommissural organ (SCO), a circumventricular organ at the forebrain-midbrain boundary that originates from the pretectal dorsal midline neuroepithelial cells beneath the posterior commissure (PC). Homozygous small eye (Sey/Sey) mice lack functional Pax6 protein and fail to dev...

BACKGROUND Sub-clinical hypothyroidism (SCO) poses diagnostic and management difficulties for pathologists and clinicians. Cases of SCO are now diagnosed with increasing frequencies worldwide mainly because of availability of more sensitive methods for serum TSH, total T3 and free T4 assays. The rate of progression of SCO to overt hypothyroidism varies in different populations. Sub-clinical hyp...

The Bluetooth technology will enable users to connect a wide range of electronic devices such as laptops, headsets, cellular phones etc. Bluetooth devices can connect to form a piconet, which consists of a master and upto 7 slaves. The master controls the medium access in the piconet using a polling scheme. Two types of connections can be established in a piconet: the Synchronous Connection-Ori...

Bifenthrin, a relatively stable type I pyrethroid that causes tremors and impairs motor activity in rodents, is broadly used. We investigated whether nanomolar bifenthrin alters synchronous Ca(2+) oscillations (SCOs) necessary for activity-dependent dendritic development. Primary mouse cortical neurons were cultured 8 or 9 days in vitro (DIV), loaded with the Ca(2+) indicator Fluo-4, and imaged...

We used resonant soft x-ray scattering to study the chain ordering in Sr14Cu24O41 (SCO). We observed, for the first time, both the chain and ladder orders in SCO with the same probe. We found that the chain modulation in SCO is incommensurate with wave vector L_(c)=0.318, is strongly temperature (T) dependent, and is accompanied by a substantial hole modulation. By contrast, the chain modulatio...

The present study examined the effect of social comparison orientation (SCO) on the responses to a victim. Participants (n = 87) were exposed to an interview with the alleged victim of a traffic accident, that was either an unfamiliar or a close other. A close other induced more feelings of oneness and more personal distress, but not more empathy, than an unfamiliar other. Higher levels of SCO ...
