The influence of the atomic order on the martensitic transformation entropy change has been studied in a Ni-Mn-In-Co metamagnetic shape memory alloy through the evolution of the transformation temperatures under high-temperature quenching and post-quench annealing thermal treatments.It is confirmed that the entropy change evolves as a consequence o
The Deleted in Colorectal Carcinoma (Dcc) receptor plays a critical role in optic nerve development.Whilst Dcc is expressed postnatally in the eye, its function remains unknown as Dcc knockouts die at birth.To circumvent this drawback, we generated an eye-specific Dcc mutant.To study the organization of the retina and visual projections in these mi

We have compared the dorsoventral development of hemichordates and chordates to deduce the organization of their common ancestor, and hence to identify the evolutionary modifications of the chordate body axis after the lineages split.In the hemichordate embryo, genes encoding bone morphogenetic proteins (Bmp) 2/4 and 5/8, as well as several genes f
School in Espoo, Finland, follows the Finnish national core curriculum but approaches teaching according to Middle Years Programme.The language of instruction is English.Material for teaching functions that would fulfill these criteria is not readily available.Therefore, such material was tailored especially for the needs of the school.The developm
