Type II Familial Synpolydactyly: Report on Two Families with an Emphasis on Variations of Expression
European Journal of Human Genetics (2011) 19, 112–114 & 2011 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/11 www.nature.com/ejhg SHORT REPORT Type II familial synpolydactyly: report on two families with an emphasis on variations of expression Mohammad M Al-Qattan*,1 Type II familial synpolydactyly is rare and is known to have variable expression. However, no previous papers have attempted to review these variations. The aim of this paper was to review these variations and show several of these variable expressions in two families. The classic features of type II familial synpolydactyly are bilateral synpolydactyly of the third web spaces of the hands and bilateral synpolydactyly of the fourth web spaces of the feet. Several members of the two families reported in this paper showed the following variations: the third web spaces of the hands showing syndactyly without the polydactyly, normal feet, concurrent polydactyly of the little finger, concurrent clinodactyly of the little finger and the ‘homozygous’ phenotype. It was concluded that variable expressions of type II familial synpolydactyly are common and awareness of such variations is important to clinicians. European Journal of Human Genetics (2011) 19, 112–114; doi:10.1038/ejhg.2010.127; published online 18 August 2010 Keywords: type II familial syndactyly; inherited synpolydactyly; variations of expression INTRODUCTION CASE REPORTS Type II familial synpolydactyly is rare and it has been reported in o30 The first family families.1–12 It is characterized by bilateral synpolydactyly of the third The family had a history of synpolydactyly type II for several web spaces of the hands and bilateral synpolydactyly of the fourth web generations on the mother’s side (Table 1). -

Thus, we’ve teamed up with the American Breast Cancer Foundation, an organization that is doing their part to save our world, one breast at a time, in order to do our part, in hopes of becoming role models and encouraging the rest of the world to do their part too. So here’s our plan: We are going to climb Denali (Mount McKinley) via the West Buttress route in June of 2006. -

Circular Motion Review KEY 1. Define Or Explain the Following: A
Circular Motion Review KEY 1. Define or explain the following: a. Frequency The number of times that an object moves around a circle in a given period of time. b. Period The amount of time needed for an object to move once around a circular path. c. Hertz The standard unit of frequency. 1 cycle/second (or 1 revolution per second) d. Centripetal Force The centrally directed force that causes an object’s tangential velocity to change direction as it moves around a circle. e. Centrifugal Force The imaginary outward force which you feel as you go around a turn in a car. This “force” is a consequence of you being accelerating and your brain interpreting your tendency to move in a straight line as a force. 2. Which of the following is NOT a property of Centripetal Force? a. It is unbalanced b. It always has a real source c. It is directed outward from the center of the circle d. Its magnitude is proportional to mass e. Its magnitude is proportional to the square of speed f. Its magnitude is inversely proportional to the radius of the circle g. It is the amount of force required to turn a particular object in a particular circle 3. If an object is swung by a string in a vertical circle, explain two reasons why the string is most likely to break at the bottom of the circle. 1. The string tension needs to overcome the weight of the object to provide the needed centripetal force. 2. The object is moving the fastest at the bottom unless some force keeps the object at a constant speed as it moves around the circle. -

Emerald Observatory Is an Ipad™ Application Which Displays a Variety of Astronomical Information
Emerald Observatory is an iPad™ application which displays a variety of astronomical information. It is similar in that way to our flagship products, Emerald Chronometer® and Emerald Chronometer HD, but designed from the start to take advantage of the iPad's larger display. Much of the supporting technology, including NTP (atomic time) and the highly accurate astronomical algorithms, was derived from Emerald Chronometer. Clock First of all, it's an ordinary clock. The main hands (gold colored) display the hours, minutes and seconds in the usual 12-hour format. To read it more precisely use the small numbers and tick marks on the inner edge of the rings. The thin central hand with the large white arrow head and the large white numbers and tick marks indicate the time in 24-hour format (with noon on top by default). Emerald Observatory's time may not exactly match the time in the iPad's status bar becausethe iPad's clock is often not very accurate whereas Emerald Observatory's time is synchronized with the international standard atomic clocks. This is usually accurate to about +/- 0.100 seconds. This is accomplished with the Network Time Protocol (NTP) so it must have a Net connection to get a sync. If the Net is not available, it will fall back to the internal clock's value. It is also possible to change the clock's time and to animate it at very high rates. See Set Mode, below. Moon In the upper left Emerald Observatory displays the Moon as it appears from the current location at the clock's time. -
