To determine whether the accuracy of the genetic evaluations of sires can be assessed by the presence of extreme daughter records, we studied herd-years with records from first-crop daughters of 217 Holstein bulls that were not sampled by artificial insemination (AI) organizations but that later entered AI. The presence of outliers for standardized milk yield was determined within herd-year. Ou...

background : the aim of this study was to demonstrate similarities and differences between mothers and daughters regarding dietary and non-dietary risk factors for bone fractures and osteoporosis. methods : the study was carried out in 2007-2010 on 712 mothers (29-59 years) and daughters (12-21 years) family pairs. in the sub-sample (170 family pairs) bone mineral density (bmd) was measured for...

Centered in the Chinese hamster dihydrofolate reductase origin of replication is a prominent nuclear matrix attachment region (MAR). Indirect lines of evidence suggested that this MAR might be required for origin activation in early S phase. To test this possibility, we have deleted the MAR from a Chinese hamster ovary variant harboring a single copy of the dihydrofolate reductase locus. Howeve...

Chromosome alignment in the middle of the bipolar spindle is a hallmark of metazoan cell divisions. When we offset the metaphase plate position by creating an asymmetric centriole distribution on each pole, we find that metaphase plates relocate to the middle of the spindle before anaphase. The spindle assembly checkpoint enables this centering mechanism by providing cells enough time to correc...

Mother-daughter relationships are usually fraught with tension, which is intensified by the cultural and social conditions under mother daughter live in culturally diverse societies. Immigrant mothers affect their daughters’ identity formation as they simultaneously nourish hinder initiation into societies reside in. Through adopting Julia Kristeva’s theory of abject a psychoanalyti...

background: the period of hospital stay and the first month after discharge have been found to be the most problematic stages for family caregivers of stroke survivors. it is just at home that patients and caregivers actually understand the whole consequences of the stroke. the adult offspring often have more different needs and concerns than spousal caregivers. however, relatively little atten...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells reproduce by budding to yield a mother cell and a smaller daughter cell. Although both mother and daughter begin G1 simultaneously, the mother cell progresses through G1 more rapidly. Daughter cell G1 delay has long been thought to be due to a requirement for attaining a certain critical cell size before passing the commitment point in the cell cycle known as STAR...

The occurrence of myositis in a father and his daughter is reported. The daughter's illness resembled childhood dermatomyositis and progressed to systemic involvement and death less than four years from the onset of symptoms. In the case of the father the illness followed the course of adult polymyositis and there was little evidence of systemic involvement. The immunological and genetic signif...

PURPOSE The purpose of this article was to examine the experiences of siblings of children with speech impairment, an underresearched area of family-centered practice. METHOD Using naturalistic inquiry, we interviewed 6 siblings and 15 significant others. Interview transcripts were analyzed for meaning statements, and meaning statements were coded and organized thematically. RESULTS Four ma...
