Arrested development

The most arresting development is the use of an STM tip, manipulated to move both laterally and vertically, to shepherd individual atoms across a crystal surface to generate features of predeterminate shapes an atom can be contacted, lifted, transported and redeposited under visual control. This was first demonstrated at... 

Congenital myotonic dystrophy is a relatively rare condition in which myotonia (defined electrically) is mostly absent in the affected newborn infant, but becomes apparent in the older infant. Histopathology shows a consistent feature of arrested development and maturation of muscle fibers, but there is, currently, no adequate explanation for this phenomenon. Patients with congenital myotonic dystrophy rarely survive without aggressive ventilatory support, and survivors, without exception, are severely multiply handicapped.

Of the examples considered above, two are of phenotypic diversity in a life-history trait where the life-history trait under consideration is clearly a facultative phenomenon. That is, for developmental route in S. ratti and for arrested development, there are distinct, mutually exclusive developmental routes. Thus, diversity in these traits between different parasite lines is relatively easy to observe, as is the response to selection. Both these traits are, in part, affected by environmental conditions and so are phenotypically plastic. For S. ratti, variation in the sensitivity of this plasticity can also be seen. Although environmental sensitivity of arrested development is as yet uninvestigated, by analogy with S. ratti it is likely to vary.

A female with ungloved chapped hands, whose finger was in contact with blood for about 20 minutes while she assisted in the insertion of an arterial catheter at a cardiac arrest, developed fever, weight loss, and generalised lymphadenopathy, 21 days later. Blood collected eight months previously was HIV antibody negative but 16 weeks after the incident was HIV antibody positive.

At optimum sensitization, many reduction centers are formed per grain, as detected by a method devised by Spencer (52,53). These centers will not in themselves promote development, but will do so after treatment with an aurous thiocyanate solution. The centers can then be enlarged by arrested development to a size that is visible in electron micrographs.

Whether or not to use an acid stop bath or a plain running-water bath has been a longstanding controversy among photographers. There are two reasons cited for using an acid stop bath. First, it arrests development in the shortest possible time. The second is, That s the way I was taught. ...

William Bateson first described in 1895. These mutations do not arrest development but transform one part of the body into another. Antennapedia mutations, for example, transform antennae into legs, which gives rise to an insect with two legs sprouting from its head, whereas bithorax mutations transform the third thorax into a second one, giving the insect an extra pair of wings. 

Heating the seed to increase oil recovery. This was first interpreted as denat-uration, making the protein matrix brittle to surrender the oil on pressing. Later, it was recognized that concurrent inactivation of enzymes also arrests development of various types of degradations.
