Fancy breeds of Japanese indigenous chicken display extensive morphological diversity, particularly in tail feathers. Although marked differences in tail and bone traits have been reported between Tosa-jidori (wild type) and Minohikichabo (rich type) breeds, little is known about the pattern of genetic inheritance in cross experiments. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the strain and sex effects, and inheritance patterns, in the morphometric variation of pygostyle bones among Tosa-jidori, Minohikichabo, and their F hybrids.

Article Synopsis
  • * An experimental setup heating aluminosilicate glass with a femtosecond laser demonstrated that SiO2 migrated to the cooler side when temperatures exceeded 3060 K.
  • * Simulations supported these findings, showing that while SiO2 moves to hotter areas at lower temperatures (2400 K), it reverses this trend at ultra-high temperatures, indicating complex phase transitions in the material's behavior.

Background: Prediction of thrombus formation at intact arterial walls under low shear flow conditions is clinically important particularly for better prognoses of embolisation in cerebral aneurysms. Although a new mathematical model for this purpose is necessary, little quantitative information has been known about platelet adhesion to intact endothelial cells.

Objective: The objective of this study is to measure the number of platelets adhering to intact endothelial cells with a focus upon the influence of the shear rate.
