Individual variability of endo-periossal structures of the upper jaw

“…Individualized treatment can not be made without regard to the individual patterns in the structure. It is important to show the range of individual variation in structure of the upper jaw and not to accept these changes as a pathology. on the adult people skulls (102 objects), data analysis of computed tomography (45 cases), histo-topographic cuts (30 blocks), the individual characteristics of outer contours of the upper jaw structures and the features of its intraorgan anatomical structures are presented. …”

The Influence of Problem Specific Neighborhood Structures in Metaheuristics Performance by A. S. Santos, A. M. Madureira, M. L. R. Varela

“…In this paper the parameterization procedure of Simulated Annealing (SA) and Discrete Artificial Bee Colony (DABC) is addressed, with a focus on the Neighborhood Structure (NS). Numerous NS have been proposed for specific problems, which seem to indicate that the NS is a special parameter, whose optimization is independent of other parameters. …”

Peroxisomal core structures segregate diverse metabolic pathways by Nils Bäcker, Julia Ast, Domenica Martorana, Christian Renicke, Jil Berger, Cristopher-Nils Mais, Marvin Christ, Thorsten Stehlik, Thomas Heimerl, Valentin Wernet, Christof Taxis, Jan Pané-Farré, Michael Bölker, Judith M. Klatt, Björn Sandrock, Kay Oliver Schink, Gert Bange, Johannes Freitag

“…Peroxisomes of many species confine certain metabolic enzymes into sub-compartments sometimes visible as electron dense cores. Why these structures form is largely unknown. Here, we report that in the smut fungus Ustilago maydis detergent resistant core structures are enriched for different enzymes excluding several key enzymes of the β-oxidation pathway. …”
