BACKGROUND The planar polarization of developing tissues is controlled by a conserved set of core planar polarity proteins. In the Drosophila pupal wing, these proteins adopt distinct proximal and distal localizations in apicolateral junctions that act as subcellular polarity cues to control morphological events. The core polarity protein Flamingo (Fmi) localizes to both proximal and distal cel...

The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) is a tool independent standard for the exchange of dynamic models and for Co-Simulation. The first version, FMI 1.0, was published in 2010. Already more than 30 tools support FMI 1.0. In this paper an overview about the upcoming version 2.0 of FMI is given that combines the formerly separated interfaces for Model Exchange and Co-Simulation in one standard. ...

We identified a seven-pass transmembrane receptor of the cadherin superfamily, designated Flamingo (Fmi), localized at cell-cell boundaries in the Drosophila wing. In the absence of Fmi, planar polarity was distorted. Before morphological polarization of wing cells along the proximal-distal (P-D) axis, Fmi was redistributed predominantly to proximal and distal cell edges. This biased localizati...

In a genetic screen for regulators of synaptic morphology, we identified the single Caenorhabditis elegans flamingo-like cadherin fmi-1. The fmi-1 mutants exhibit defective axon pathfinding, reduced synapse number, aberrant synapse size and morphology, as well as an abnormal accumulation of synaptic vesicles at nonsynaptic regions. Although FMI-1 is primarily expressed in the nervous system, it...

According to V.P.Potapov, a classical interpolation problem can be reformulated in terms of a so-called Fundamental Matrix Inequality (FMI). To show that every solution of the FMI satisfies the interpolation problem, we usualy have to transform the FMI in some special way. In this paper the number of of transformations of the FMI which come into play are motivated and demonstrated by simple, bu...

A key aspect in extracting quantitative information from FMI logs is to segment the FMI image to get image of layers. In this paper, an automatic method based on FCM clustering and Otsu thresholding is introduced in order to extract quantitative information from FMI images. All pixels are clustered using FCM clustering algorithm at the f irst step. The second step uses KNN for other clustering....

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to determine sensitivity and specificity of body mass index (BMI) based on Center for Disease Control 2000 (CDC) percentiles compared to fat mass index (FMI) as an indicator of being really obese in children. Obesity was compared based on these two indexes among children under study. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on 410 ...

The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) is a tool independent standard for the exchange of dynamic models and for co-simulation. The development of FMI was initiated and organized by Daimler AG within the ITEA2 project MODELISAR. The primary goal is to support the exchange of simulation models between suppliers and OEMs even if a large variety of different tools are used. The FMI was developed in...

This paper shows how the recently developed Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) standard for model exchange can be utilized in the context of AUTOSAR software component (SW-C) development. Automatic transformations between the XML schemas of the two standards are utilized to convert FMI models to AUTOSAR. An application example is demonstrated, where a Modelica controller is exported through FMI,...
