Three studies compared beliefs about natural and late blooming positive traits with those acquired through personal effort, extrinsic rewards or medicine. Young children (5-6 years), older children (8-13 years), and adults all showed a strong bias for natural and late blooming traits over acquired traits. All age groups, except 8- to 10-year-olds, treated natural and late-blooming traits as fix...

We are investigating neuronal circuits resulting from conservative developmental mechanisms orchestrating the segmentation of the vertebrates hindbrain into compartments called rhombomeres (r). Segmentation transcription factors Hoxa1, Krox20 and kreisler are expressed in the future rhombomeres r4-r5, r3 and r5, r5-r6, respectively. In mice, the in vivo and in vitro analysis of neuronal groups ...

R7 stage (one seed pod at mature color; 50% of leaves yellow) produced forage that was similar in quality to Tall forage soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars in maturity alfalfa harvested at early bloom. When soybean was groups V, VI, and VII have been developed to supply forage. Our objective was to determine the effect of harvest date and row spacing grown as an intercrop with corn, the...

Striatal neuronal degeneration and loss is an important feature of human Huntington’s disease (HD). R6/2 HD mice recapitulate many features of human HD including striatal atrophy. While striatal neuronal atrophy and loss is reported in R6/2 HD mice the degree of neuronal loss and the characteristics of cell body atrophy are unclear. We used stereological approaches to estimate whole striatal ne...

In 50% of progressing HIV-1 patients, CXCR4-tropic (X4) virus emerges late in infection, often overtaking CCR5-tropic (R5) virus as the dominant viral strain. This "phenotypic switch" is strongly associated with rapidly declining CD4(+) T cell counts and AIDS onset, yet its causes remain unknown. Here, we analyze a mathematical model for the mechanism of X4 emergence in late-stage HIV infection...

In this study flowering time and other important morphologic traits were evaluated during two years in F1 almond progenies of seventy two seedlings from cross between the intermediate flowering Italian cultivar ‘Tuono’ and the extra-late blooming Iranian cultivar ‘Shahrood-12’. A modified-bulk segregant analysis in combination with the application of the 140 RAPD primers, 87 nuclear ...

abstract the goal of this experiment was to save apricot flowers from late spring frost damage. this experiment was conducted during 2007-2008 to examine the effect of application of different concentrations of gibberellic acid in two forms pure (ga3) and impure (berelex) at (0, 50, 100, 200, 300 mgl-1) at 23 august and 23 september to delay flowering in apricot asgarabad cultivar. a factorial ...

Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the medium-size GABAergic neurons of striatum. The R6/2 mouse line is one of the most widely used animal models of HD. Previously the hallmarks of HD-related pathology have been detected in photoreceptors and interneurons of R6/2 mouse retina. Here we aimed to explore the survival of retinal ganglion cel...
