Molecular signatures of the primitive prostate stem cell niche reveal novel mesenchymal-epithelial signaling pathways. by Roy Blum, Rashmi Gupta, Patricia E Burger, Christopher S Ontiveros, Sarah N Salm, Xiaozhong Xiong, Alexander Kamb, Holger Wesche, Lisa Marshall, Gene Cutler, Xiangyun Wang, Jiri Zavadil, David Moscatelli, E Lynette Wilson

“…To distinguish transcripts that are shared by other developing epithelial/mesenchymal compartments from those that pertain to the prostate stem cell niche, we also determined the global gene expression of epidermis and dermis of the same embryos. Our analysis indicates that several of the key transcriptional components that are predicted to be active in the embryonic prostate stem cell niche regulate processes such as self-renewal (e.g., E2f and Ap2), lipid metabolism (e.g., Srebp1) and cell migration (e.g., Areb6 and Rreb1). …”

TRANSFORMATION AND SCATTERING OF SURFACE WAVES ON THE ACOUSTIC LOAD TO ULTRASONIC EVALUATION AND MEASUREMENTS. Part 2. The object to study – solid with ledge by A. R. Baev, A. L. Mayorov, M. V. Asadchaya, G. E. Konovalov, O. S. Sergeeva

“…The aim of this work was to study of mechanism of acoustical mode's transformation and determination the laws of the fields forming of scatted volume edge wave's in solids with ledge of different geometry and to suggest direction of the study application in area of acoustical testing and measurements.The features of transformation of surface waves into edge transverse and longitudinal wave modes scatted and their fields forming in the volume of the object with ledge vs. its angle of the slope front surface side (0–135°) and a dimensionless transition radius (0–10,2) varied were studied. Theoretical analysis and experimental data shown that in general case the field of the edge transverse waves in the volume of ledge can be imagined as a superposition of the field of edge waves (scatted on ledge) and accompany waves too, radiated simultaneously with the surface waves to radiate. …”
