## Abstract Retinoic acid (RA) is a signaling molecule synthesized from vitamin A that controls gene expression at the transcriptional level by functioning as a ligand for nuclear RA receptors. RA plays an essential role during embryonic development in higher animals by regulating key genes involve

β¦ Synopsis
After many years of research, somitogenesis is still one of the major unresolved problems in developmental biology. Recent experimental findings show a novel type of pattern formation in which a signal sweeps along the presomitic mesoderm and narrows simultaneously as a new somite is formed. The signal then residues in the posterior half of the new somite, and another wave begins to sweep up from the caudal end. This behaviour is not easily explained by the existing theoretical models. We present a new model for somitogenesis that can account for this behaviour and is consistent with previous experimental observations.

A computationally e$cient reluctance mesh model suitable for simulating the dynamic performance of practical induction motors is presented. The calculation time is minimized by direct computation of rate of change of #ux, avoiding unnecessary evaluation of time and rotor position dependent inductanc
Induction, or preoperative therapy for rectal carcinoma, is a controversial topic which appears to have clinical utility in a number of distinct settings that range from early stage to locally advanced disease. Common to all treatment scenarios is the intent of reducing the likelihood of recurrence
This paper proposes new mathematical models with stator core (iron)-loss factor for induction motors intended to generate precise and/or efficient torque via vector control. The proposed models have a structure in which the stator core-loss resistance is equivalently placed purely in parallel with t
