The Control of the Crossover Localization in Allium.

Meiotic crossovers/chiasmata are not randomly distributed and strictly controlled. The mechanisms behind crossover (CO) patterning remain largely unknown. In , as in the vast majority of plants and animals, COs predominantly occur in the distal 2/3 of the chromosome arm, while in they are strictly localized in the proximal region.

Integrating Genetic and Chromosome Maps of : From Markers Visualization to Genome Assembly Verification.

The ability to directly look into genome sequences has opened great opportunities in plant breeding. Yet, the assembly of full-length chromosomes remains one of the most difficult problems in modern genomics. Genetic maps are commonly used in de novo genome assembly and are constructed on the basis of a statistical analysis of the number of recombinations.

Personalized Biomechanical Analysis of the Mandible Teeth Behavior in the Treatment of Masticatory Muscles Parafunction.

A 3D finite element model of the mandible dentition was developed, including 14 teeth, a periodontal ligament (PDL), and a splint made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). The study considered three design options: 1-the case of splint absence; 2-the case of the splint presence installed after manufacture; and 3-the case of splint presence installed after correction (grinding) performed to ensure a uniform distribution of occlusal force between the teeth. For cases of absence and presence of splint, three measurements of the functional load were performed using the T-Scan III software and hardware complex (TekScan, Boston, MA, USA).

Intermittent route to generalized synchronization in bidirectionally coupled chaotic oscillators.

The type of transition from asynchronous behavior to the generalized synchronization regime in mutually coupled chaotic oscillators has been studied. To separate the epochs of the synchronous and asynchronous motion in time series of mutually coupled chaotic oscillators, a method based on the local Lyapunov exponent calculation has been proposed. The efficiency of the method has been testified using the examples of unidirectionally coupled dynamical systems for which the type of transition is well known.

Jump intermittency as a second type of transition to and from generalized synchronization.

The transition from asynchronous dynamics to generalized chaotic synchronization and then to completely synchronous dynamics is known to be accompanied by on-off intermittency. We show that there is another (second) type of the transition called jump intermittency which occurs near the boundary of generalized synchronization in chaotic systems with complex two-sheeted attractors. Although this transient behavior also exhibits intermittent dynamics, it differs sufficiently from on-off intermittency supposed hitherto to be the only type of motion corresponding to the transition to generalized synchronization.
