The movement of the fingers of the hand is thought to be limited in extension due in part to the presence of the juncturae tendinum (JT) in the dorsal webspaces. Clinically, these structures may help surgeons in identifying the extensor slips of the extensor digitorum communis (edc) and constitute an additional resource for tendon repair. These connections are highly variable in relation to the...

One of the main goals in the study of the automorphism group Aut {Jt) of a countable, recursively saturated model Jt of Peano Arithmetic is to determine to what extent (the isomorphism type of) Jt is recoverable from (the isomorphism type of) Aut(^). A countable, recursively saturated model Jt of PA is characterized up to isomorphism by two invariants: its first-order theory Th(^ ) and its stan...

A bstract In this paper, we investigate a critical behavior of JT gravity, model two-dimensional quantum gravity on constant negatively curved spacetimes. Our approach involves using techniques from random maps to the generating function Weil-Petersson volumes, which count hyperbolic surfaces with defects. The defects are weighted geodesic boundaries, and criticality is reached by tuning weight...

Introduction: Today, student-centered methods must be used to train students with professional competency. One of the most valuable methods is Jigsaw (JT). Despite its various positive effects on students’ learning, not all teachers are familiar with Jigsaw. In order to familiarize teachers with this method and encourage them to use it in teaching their students, this article introduces Jigsaw,...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and very common condition, and there has been lately a considerable increase in its prevalence and incidence. Diabetic patients have increased cardiovascular mortality, in which malignant ventricular arrhythmias seem to be implicated. OBJECTIVE To study the effects of diabetes on ventricular repolarization parameters responsible for an increased susce...

Jahn-Teller (JT) electron-phonon coupling effects in the colossal magnetoresistance perovskite compounds La1−xAxMnO3 are investigated. Electronelectron correlations between two degenerate Mn eg orbitals are studied in the Gutzwiller approximation. The static JT distortion and antiadiabatic polaron effects are studied in a modified Lang-Firsov approximation. We find that (i) the electron or hole...

Density Functional Theory (DFT) in conjuction with the Intrinsic Distortion Path (IDP) is employed to study the Jahn-Teller (JT) effect in all four diastereoisomers of tris(ethylenediamine)copper(II) ([Cu(en)3] ) and tris(ethyleneglycol)copper(II) ([Cu(eg)3] ) complexes. As a consequence of the JT effect all the isomers tetragonally elongate to the C2 configurations. Although there are energy d...

We previously demonstrated that jarastatin (JT), a new disintegrin from Bothrops jararaca venom, altered actin dynamics in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and inhibited cell migration in vivo and in vitro (14). In this study, we evaluated the effects of JT and two other monomeric disintegrins, kistrin (KR) and flavoridin (FL), on PMN chemotaxis and chemokinesis in vitro and on the ac...
