DISPERSIVE FORCES AND RESISTING SPOT WELDS BY ALTERNATIVE HOMOLOG CONJUNCTION GOVERN CHROMOSOME SHAPE IN DROSOPHILA SPERMATOCYTES DURING PROPHASE I.

Dispersive forces and resisting spot welds by alternative homolog conjunction govern chromosome shape in Drosophila spermatocytes during prophase I.

The bivalent chromosomes that are generated during prophase of meiosis I comprise a pair of homologous chromosomes.Homolog pairing during prophase I must include mechanisms that avoid or eliminate entanglements between non-homologous chromosomes.In Drosophila spermatocytes, non-homologous associations are disrupted by chromosome territory formation

Study on the influence of structural spacing on the deformation caused by the excavation of shield underpass socket pipe gallery

In a prefabricated composite pipe gallery with socket joints, the repeated loading and unloading effect of shield construction on the overlying soil and the existing pipe gallery may cause considerable deformations to the pipe gallery at the joint while ensuring its own bearing capacity.The shield tunnelling underneath the existing pipe gallery pro
