Mutations in LMNA, which encodes nuclear Lamins A and C cause diseases affecting various organs, including the heart. We have determined the effects of an Lmna H222P mutation on signaling pathways involved in the development of cardiomyopathy in a knockin mouse model of autosomal dominant Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. Analysis of genome-wide expression profiles in hearts using Affymetrix G...

We study Poincaré inequalities and long-time behavior for diffusion processes on Rn under a variable curvature lower bound, in the sense of Bakry-Emery. derive various estimates rate convergence to equilibrium L1 optimal transport distance, as well bounds constant inequality several situations interest, including some where may be negative. In particular, we prove self-improvement Bakry-Emery e...

Numerous species in the Old World army ant genus Dorylus have been described based on a single sex or caste. Our analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II gene sequences of specimens from the same population reveals that D. gribodoi Emery males are conspecific with D. gerstaeckeri Emery workers, rendering D. gerstaeckeri a junior synonym of D. gribodoi. Dorylus gribodoi var. insularis San...

The linkage relationships of the gene for Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy have been analysed in a large American kindred using DNA probes from different regions of the X chromosome. Close linkage was found with the locus for factor VIII, with no recombinants in 12 opportunities (maximum lod score 4.3), and with locus DXS15 (two recombinants in 17 opportunities, maximum lod score 2.9 at 0 = 10...

The relationship between ants and their habitats was examined in oak-dominated mixed forests in the central Appalachian mountains. Ants were sampled using pitfall traps over the summers of 1995, 1996, and 1997. Principal component and correlation analysis indicated that ant diversity (ShannonÕs H ), species richness, and abundance were closely correlated with habitat principal components. Fewer...

A 33-year-old man was admitted for general malaise and vomiting. An electrocardiogram showed a complete atrioventricular block and an echocardiogram showed right atrial dilatation and normal wall motion of left ventricle (LV). Gene analysis showed nonsense mutation in the STA gene, which codes for emerin, and Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy was diagnosed. An endomyocardial biopsy of right ven...

I study the one-dimensional spin-1 Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with bilinear and biquadratic exchange interactions and single-ion crystal field under an applied magnetic field. This model can be exactly mapped into a tight-binding Hubbard model extended to include intersite interactions provided one renormalizes the chemical and the on-site potentials, which become temperature dependent. After ...
