A dictionary’s macrostructure, nomenclature or lemma-sign list is, in simple terms, the inventory of all the headwords in that dictionary. Each of those lemma signs (headwords) is a canonical form, representing an entire paradigm of morphologically-related forms. The use of dictionary citation forms to group related forms is both a space-saving device that stems from the times of the paper dict...

The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is implicated in left-right (LR) axis determination; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Prompted by our recent discovery that Wnt signaling regulates ciliogenesis in the zebrafish Kupffer’s vesicle (KV) via Foxj1a, a ciliogenic transcription factor, we decided to elucidate functions of Foxj1a in Wnt-regulated LR pattern formation. We showed that targete...

We present the results of a Keck spectroscopic study of globular clusters associated with the Virgo Cluster dwarf elliptical VCC 1386. We analyze blue spectroscopic absorption lines from 3500-5500 Å for 13 globular cluster candidates and confirm that five are associated with VCC 1386. By comparing metal and Balmer line indices of these globular clusters with α-enhanced single stellar population...

We present near-infrared 1.5 – 2.5 µm moderate resolution long-slit spectra of two both parallel to ionization cone or jet and perpendicular to it. The spectra are used to study the spatial extent of the line emission, integrated masses of excited H 2 and the excitation mechanisms of interstellar gas. In all three Seyfert 2 galaxies, [Fe ii] is found to be stronger than Brγ or H 2 1–0 S(1), whi...

Two of the intriguing questions in immunology, which in many instances may be related, are the mechanisms by which the vast array of immunoglobulin diversity is generated and the structure of antigenic determinants associated with these molecules. It is now clear that several processes contribute to immunoglobulin diversity. First, there are an apparently large number of both light (L) ~ and he...

Ladislaus II Jagiełło (1386–1434). is the founder of Jagiellonian dynasty that had ruled over Poland and Grand Duchy Lithuania (until 1572), Bohemia (1471–1526) Hungary (1440–1444, 1490–1526). A Duke from 1377, 1386 a king lord Lithuania, which he jointly with his cousin Witold (Vytautas), son Kęstutis. Five medieval portraits survive, four date period reign in Polish–Lithuanian state one was e...

Immune complexes (IC) 1 are thought to play a major role in the pathogenesis of many human glomerulonephritides (1). This has been suggested by immunofluorescence studies showing glomerular deposits of immunoglobulins and complement and by observations of electron-dense deposits around or within the glomerular basement membrane. In addition, glomerulonephritides are a common feature of some aut...
