The coloboma in the cinnamon mouse homozygous for the microphthalmia gene is caused when optic fissure closure, which normally occurs between the 11th and the 13th gestational day, does not occur. This study sought to determine the cause of this fusion failure, and to identify any foci of fusion that occur later in gestation. Microphthalmic fetuses from the 11th-20th gestational day were obtain...

in studying of the in situ gravitational concentration process part feature for placer, the technological ability to transform the in situ massif placer structure is evident. the two main processes involved in altering the massif in situ have been examined and outlined in detail. the in situ disintegration of massif material results in a new massif gravitational stratification structure. regula...

Nicotine, a natural alkaloid of tobacco leaves and roots, is the main factor for human tobacco addiction. To assess its toxic effect on motile cells we have made series of experiments on free-living Amoeba proteus. It was found that nicotine changed cell morphology, inhibited locomotion, as well it led to degradation of actin cytoskeleton and finally to cell destruction. Obtained results sugges...

Knowledge of digestion kinetics of solid foods in human stomach, as affected by food processing methods, is critical in establishing processing conditions at the manufacturing stage to achieve desirable release of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract. The objective of this study was to investigate how roasting affected disintegration and solid release properties of almond in simulated gastri...
