While many factors have been proposed as drivers of this change, among them general features of human Post-marital residence societies like warfare, migration and gendered division of subsistence labour, little is known about whether Cross-cultural comparison changes in residence patterns exhibit global regularities.

  • Delta-Notch Signaling: the Long and the Short of a Neuron’S Influence on Progenitor Fates
    Journal of Developmental Biology Review Delta-Notch Signaling: The Long and the Short of a Neuron’s Influence on Progenitor Fates Rachel Moore 1,* and Paula Alexandre 2,* 1 Centre for Developmental Neurobiology, King’s College London, London SE1 1UL, UK 2 Developmental Biology and Cancer, University College London Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, London WC1N 1EH, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.M.); [email protected] (P.A.) Received: 18 February 2020; Accepted: 24 March 2020; Published: 26 March 2020 Abstract: Maintenance of the neural progenitor pool during embryonic development is essential to promote growth of the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is initially formed by tightly compacted proliferative neuroepithelial cells that later acquire radial glial characteristics and continue to divide at the ventricular (apical) and pial (basal) surface of the neuroepithelium to generate neurons. While neural progenitors such as neuroepithelial cells and apical radial glia form strong connections with their neighbours at the apical and basal surfaces of the neuroepithelium, neurons usually form the mantle layer at the basal surface. This review will discuss the existing evidence that supports a role for neurons, from early stages of differentiation, in promoting progenitor cell fates in the vertebrates CNS, maintaining tissue homeostasis and regulating spatiotemporal patterning of neuronal differentiation through Delta-Notch signalling. Keywords: neuron; neurogenesis; neuronal apical detachment; asymmetric division; notch; delta; long and short range lateral inhibition 1. Introduction During the development of the central nervous system (CNS), neurons derive from neural progenitors and the Delta-Notch signaling pathway plays a major role in these cell fate decisions [1–4].

  • Sister Maura Therese Power, RSM Sisters of Mercy of Auburn, California
    SACRAMENTO DIOCESAN ARCHIVE Vol 7 Father John E Boll No 2 Sister Maura Therese Power, RSM Sisters of Mercy of Auburn, California Maura Therese Power was born on October 8, 1937, in Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland. She and her twin brother John Joseph were born to Denis Power and Philomena Freeley. Two days later, Maura and John were baptized at the Cathedral in Killarney. In addition to her twin brother, she has an older brother Gerard and a younger sister Noreen. The last born child was Catherine “Riona” who died at the age of seven, having lived with Down syndrome. BEGINNING THE EDUCATION PROCESS All the children of the Power family began their education at age four at the Mercy Convent School in Killarney. After each child received First Holy Communion, the boys went to the Presentation Brothers School and the girls continued with the Mercy Sisters. FAMILY FORCED TO MOVE TO DUBLIN Maura’s father Denis worked in Hilliard’s Department Store. When labor disputes arose in the mid-1940s, Denis lost his job at the store and was forced to go to Dublin to look for another position. He secured a new job in Dublin and the family moved to Dublin in 1949. Since this was right after the end of World War II, life was difficult for everyone in Europe as well as the Power family in Ireland. After arriving in Dublin, the family settled in Clontarf along the coast in a new house that Maura’s father was able to purchase. She began secondary school with the Irish Sisters of Charity on King’s Inn Street.

  • WILLIAM F. KEEGAN an ANTHROPOLOGICAL EVALUATION of TAINO KINSHIP INTRODUCTION This Is the Fourth in a Series of Papers in Which
    WILLIAM F. KEEGAN AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF TAINO KINSHIP INTRODUCTION This is the fourth in a series of papers in which the social and political organizations of the Tainos are examined. The first paper, presented at the Society for American Archaeology meeting in 1987, explored the relationship between patterns of settlement and social organization (Keegan 1987). The second, published in American Anthropologist, is an archeo-ethnological collaboration in which ethnographic information was used to reconstruct Taino kinship and changes in Lucayan settlement patterns were used to examine Melvin Ember's (1974) model of the evolution of avunculocal residence (Keegan and MacLachlan 1989). The third paper, presented at the "Processual/Post-Processual Debate," further developed a materialist model of Taino social organization and described the research methodology used to explore that model (Keegan 1990). Rather than review those previous studies, I wish to begin the present paper with the assumption that Taino sociopolitical organization can be characterized as an avunculocal chiefdom. Assume, if you wish, that Rouse (1948) in the Handbook of South American Indians described the Tainos as practicing matrilineal descent, and avunculocal residence rather than patrilocal residence. That is the basis for the present paper, which is presented in three parts. First, I define what I mean by avunculocal chiefdom; second, I describe some of the more important behavioral implications; and third, I explore the archaeological implications of such an organization. AVUNCULOCAL CHIEFDOMS The term "avunculocal chiefdom" contains both social and political implications. Avunculocal residence involves the movement of males at adolescence to live with a real or classificatory maternal uncle where they are joined at marriage by their wives.
