The Drosophila genome contains a single phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) homolog, encoded by small wing (sl), that acts as an inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling during photoreceptor R7 development. Although the existing sl alleles behave genetically as nulls, they may still produce truncated Sl products that could in theory still provide limited PLC-gamma function. Both to i...

While ICT-supported teams are increasingly popular, most suffer from a phenomenon called social loafing (SL). SL is the tendency to withhold one’s effort when working with others. Past research has examined various determinants and mechanisms of SL but the relationships between IT and SL have remained largely unexplored. Our objectives are to identify the key factors that play a role in SL in I...

In this paper, we show that theory of processes can be reduced to the theory of spatial logic. Firstly, we propose a spatial logic SL for higher order π-calculus, and give an inference system of SL. The soundness and incompleteness of SL are proved. Furthermore, we show that the structure congruence relation and one-step transition relation can be described as the logical relation of SL formula...

The present study aspired to scrutinize the relationship among EFL learners' Self-directed Learning (SL), Resilience (RE), and Willingness to Communicate (WTC). To accomplish this purpose, 124 male and female undergraduate EFL learners, within the age range of 20 to 32, were selected through convenience sampling. These EFL learners were asked to fill in three questionnaires, namely the SL...

Sl/Sld mutant mice are profoundly deficient in tissue mast cells as a result of a defect in the microenvironment promoting the development of these cells. To facilitate the analysis of the Sl mutation, we attempted to establish an in vitro system in which the in vivo defect of Sl/Sld mice could be reproduced. 3T3 cell lines were established from 17-day-old embryos of Sl/Sld and congenic +/+ gen...

BACKGROUND The study was conducted to compare the outcomes of sleeve lobectomy (SL) and pneumonectomy (PN) for management of the left lung in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS One hundred and thirty-five patients who underwent left SL (n = 87) or left PN (n = 48) for NSCLC from January 2006 to December 2011 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Left SL was perform...

In this paper nondegenerate multidimensional matrices of boundary format in V0 ⊗ · · · ⊗ Vp are investigated by their link with Steiner vector bundles on product of projective spaces. For any nondegenerate matrix A the stabilizer for the SL(V0)×· · ·×SL(Vp)action, Stab(A), is completely described. In particular we prove that there exists an explicit action of SL(2) on V0 ⊗ · · · ⊗ Vp such that ...

Double-layer quantum Hall systems possess interlayer phase coherence at sufficiently small layer separations, even without interlayer tunneling. When interlayer tunneling is present, application of a sufficiently strong in-plane magnetic field B i.Bc drives a commensurate-incommensurate ~CI! transition to an incommensurate soliton-lattice ~SL! state. We calculate the Hartree-Fock ground-state e...
