Numerous human syndromes are the result of abnormal cranial neural crest development. One group of such defects, referred to as CATCH-22 (cardiac defects, abnormal facies, thymic hypoplasia, cleft palate, hypocalcemia, associated with chromosome 22 microdeletion) syndrome, exhibit craniofacial and cardiac defects resulting from abnormal development of the third and fourth neural crest-derived b...

A substantial part of the underline bridges that belong to asset collection main railway and roadway infrastructure operators in UK Europe have structural shape arches, typically constructed from brick/stone masonry. Current assessment methods, which consider two-dimensional descriptions, do not enable an accurate representation typical three-dimensional response, often they provide realistic p...

Two species of Didymozoidae, Didymosulcus palati (Yamaguti 1970) and Didymosulcus philobranchiarca (Yamaguti 1970) were reported for the first time in South America, Atlantic Ocean, parasitizing three different tuna species from the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: Thunnus atlanticus (Lesson), Thunnus albacares (Bonnaterre) and Thunnus obesus (Lowe). Pairs of D. philobranchiarca were found on g...

Objectives : To analyze the inheritance of fingerprints and blood groups to finally trace (if any) possible association between groups. Methods: A number 100 students were randomly chosen from campus Nagaon College, Autonomous, Nagaon, Assam. pre-designed form containing required space for sample collection was made distributed, explaining procedure thumb impression After collection, prints cla...

Introduction. Orthodontics experience has shown that dental compensation of some skeletal irregularities is under the positive influence external factors. During sagittal development cranial base and arches, they can be placed in relationship I, II or III dentoalveolar class. Malocclusion may caused by a irregularity. Despite that, normal occlusion achieved compensation. The aim this study was ...

Connection of the heart to the systemic circulation is a critical developmental event that requires selective preservation of embryonic vessels (aortic arches). However, why some aortic arches regress while others are incorporated into the mature aortic tree remains unclear. By microdissection and deep sequencing in mouse, we find that neural crest (NC) only differentiates into vascular smooth ...

Another World II is a print by the famous Dutch artist M. C. Escher, depicting a cube with arch-like openings on each side. What makes the print interesting is that the depicted views in the arches are inconsistent, leaving the spectator puzzled as to the " impossible assembly " of views from different perspectives. In our work we invite the reader – and more so, the user of our software – to e...

Arches are elegant and efficient structural forms that can be used in a wide variety of applications, from bridges to extraterrestrial shielding structures. Oftentimes their design hinges around the identification minimum-thickness required ensure stability when subjected gravity lateral (inertial) loading. This work presents MATLAB-based code called OpenArch developed within procedural program...
