Ray Patterns

The fin-to-limb transition was marked by the origin of digits and the loss of dermal fin rays. Paleontological research into this transformation has focused on the evolution of the endoskeleton, with little attention paid to fin ray structure and function. To address this knowledge gap, we study the dermal rays of the pectoral fins of 3 key tetrapodomorph taxa—Sauripterus taylori (Rhizodontida), Eusthenopteron foordi (Tristichopteridae), and Tiktaalik roseae (Elpistostegalia)—using computed tomography. These data show several trends in the lineage leading to digited forms, including the consolidation of fin rays (e.g., reduced segmentation and branching), reduction of the fin web, and unexpectedly, the evolution of asymmetry between dorsal and ventral hemitrichia. In Eusthenopteron, dorsal rays cover the preaxial endoskeleton slightly more than ventral rays. In Tiktaalik, dorsal rays fully cover the third and fourth mesomeres, while ventral rays are restricted distal to these elements, suggesting the presence of ventralized musculature at the fin tip analogous to a fleshy “palm.” Asymmetry is also observed in cross-sectional areas of dorsal and ventral rays. Eusthenopteron dorsal rays are slightly larger than ventral rays; by contrast, Tiktaalik dorsal rays can be several times larger than ventral rays, and degree of asymmetry appears to be greater at larger sizes. Analysis of extant osteichthyans suggests that cross-sectional asymmetry in the dermal rays of paired fins is plesiomorphic to crown group osteichthyans. The evolution of dermal rays in crownward stem tetrapods reflects adaptation for a fin-supported elevated posture and resistance to substrate-based loading prior to the origin of digits.

The analysis of scientific literature shows that the study of adrenal morphology in humans and animals is an urgent problem of biology and medicine from ancient times to the present day. In the historical aspect, we can distinguish three stages of studying the adrenal gland that differ in the directions of research. The first stage corresponds to the research of scientists of the XVI–XVIII centuries (Bartolomeo Eustachio, Andreas Vesalius, Gabriele Folloppio, Girolamo Fabrici, Andriaan Spieghel, Johann Vesling, Giulia Casseria, Caspar Bauhin, Johann Grafenberg, Caspar Bartholin, Thomas Bartholin, Giulio Casserio, Antonio Molinetti, Jean Riolan, Thomas Wharton, Giovanni Lancisi, Jakob Winslow, Antony Valsalva, Albrecht Haller, Johann Meckel, Jean Senac, Armand Cassan). Their works is devoted to the study of topography, macroscopic structure and function of the adrenal gland. Studies of morphological scientists of the second stage (late XVIII – mid XX century) correspond to the study of the structure of the adrenal gland at the microscopic level. Scientists like Albert Kelliker, Johann Ecker, Thomas Addison, Gabriel Colin, Alfred Kohn and Jay Arnold used histological and histochemical research methods. Edward Schafer, George Oliver, Vladislav Szymonowicz, John Abel, Jokiti Takmine, Welter Cannon, Edward Kendall to the study of the features of adrenal hormone secretion. Scientific works of the mid-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries can be combined in the third stage of research on the morphology of the adrenal gland. It is devoted to solving issues related to the formation of the adrenal gland in the process of filogenesis and ontogenesis, the features of the structure and function of the organ in normal and pathological conditions. A significant contribution to the study of the morphology of the adrenal gland of animals at the third stage was made by such scientists as Ziyade A. M., Dardykina O. N., Harina V. V., Atagimov M. Z., Torguj P. M., Antipin I. A., Shishkin A. P., Volkova M. V., Shevchenko L. F., Sidorova O. G., Vovchenko M. B., Salekh M. M., Ovcharenko N. D., Zaika S. V., Samatova I. M., Gorbacheva E.

Among the studies of morphologists of the third period, the method of electron microscopy prevails.

Immigration is one of the four factors of population transformation that incorporates time and geographical constraints on the basis of goals and motivation of human life both in place of origin and destination in a matter of structure and function. This study has analyzed socio-cultural, political and personal-family factors to international immigration. The present work is conducted in a quantitative exploratory method with a sample size of 370 returnees with a probable simple random sampling who are all living in Herat city. The questionnaire tool is used for data collection and SPSS for data analysis. The data are analyzed with the regression of each indicator of socio-cultural, political and personal-family factors as pulling factors to the international immigration. The findings indicate that the personalfamily factor with the most influential factor, political with the second influential factor, and socio-cultural as the third influential factor to the international immigration.

On behalf of the Royal Institution, I wish to express our pleasure that this discussion on ‘The structure and function of lysozyme’ is being held in its theatre this afternoon. Dr Phillips and his team have been investigating the structure of lysozyme in the Davy Faraday Laboratory for some years, and have recently been able to analyse that structure in considerable detail. They have also been able to mark down the sites on the molecule to which inhibitors of its action attach themselves. It is a great day for the Laboratory to take part in a meeting at which experts in this country and abroad have gathered to discuss the significance of the new knowledge about structure; and our warm thanks are due to Dr Perutz for organizing the present conference on behalf of the Royal Society. The initiation of a project to study a selected protein structure requires very careful consideration; it is rather like a decision as to which new type of aeroplane to build. The cost in manpower, time and money is considerable, and if the structure proves to be obdurate this expenditure shows little return. Lysozyme, which Dr Poljak had already studied when he joined the Davy Faraday team in 1960, proved to be a fortunate choice. It is the third protein structure to be successfully analysed, and the first enzyme.

Source Of Information

This report presents the results to date of a three-year archaeological investigation of the Postclassic and early Spanish Colonial Mixtec City of Yucundaa, PuebloViejo de Teposcolula, Oaxaca. It is the first project in Oaxaca to focus specifically on a major prehispanic city and its dramatic transformation during the first three decades of the colonial period. Given the dearth of conventional historical documentation relating to Yucundaa, the site itself serves as a “primary text,” the major source of information regarding its development and operation. The project attempts to define the major components of the settlement, and to examine each as comprehensively as possible in order to form a coherent view of the city's structure and function. At the conclusion of the third season, the encouraging results serve to demonstrate the utility of a well-planned excavation program that from its inception attempts to examine an entire Postclassic-Colonial settlement and the great transformation occurring there between A.D. 1521 and 1550. The research methods, as well as information and insights derived from the project, will provide stimulus and a useful model for the study of other Mesoamerican urban settlements.

The Relationship

The I-Abm12 mutation has been used extensively to study the relationship between structure and function of murine class II major histocompatibility molecules. I-Abm12 differs from I-Ab by three amino acid replacements in the A beta chain, and the proposed structural model of the I-Abm12 molecule places these three amino acid substitutions along one of the alpha-helices where they may affect both antigen and TCR binding. Two of the substitutions, Ile----Phe67 and Thr----Lys71, are thought to point into the binding site, whereas the third substitution, Arg----Gln70, is thought to point up and hence, be available for binding to the TCR. These predicted orientations are consistent with serologic analysis of the bm12 molecule, which demonstrates that residue 70 is uniquely accessible to mAbs distinguishing I-Ab from I-Abm12. In this study we have determined the influence of each of these amino acid substitutions on the ability of the resulting molecules to stimulate a panel of I-Abm12 (allo) reactive T cell hybridomas. Our experiments indicate that reversion of the amino acid at position 70 from Gln (I-Abm12) to Arg (I-Ab) interferes with allorecognition by 33 of 35 I-Abm12-reactive hybridomas. On the other hand, many hybrids can tolerate amino acid substitutions at positions 67 or 71. Single amino acid substitutions at position 67, 70, or 71 are recognized by only a minority of I-Abm12-specific hybrids and usually the reactivity is greatly diminished. These data are most consistent with the idea that the amino acid at position 70 directly interacts with the TCR during allorecognition. The additional effects of residues 67 and 71 are consistent with a contribution by bound peptide to the allorecognition process.
