It was not the world's first air force, because France's embryonic army air service, which eventually became the French Air Force ( Armée de l ’ Air ), was founded in 1909.

Although upon Layforce's formation the commando concept was still in its embryonic phase, when it had initially embarked from the United Kingdom, it had been intended that the force would be employed to carry out a campaign of harassment and dislocation against enemy forces in the Mediterranean.

Intercalated discs ( IDs ) are complex adhering structures which connect single cardiac myocytes to an electrochemical syncytium ( in contrast to the skeletal muscle, which becomes a multicellular syncytium during mammalian embryonic development ) and are mainly responsible for force transmission during muscle contraction.

Even though the German army was forming its own embryonic air corps at the time, many consider the French one to be the world's first “ air force ”, even if it did not become the Armée de l ' Air until August 1933, for it was still under army jurisdiction.

This horrified Oxbridge, where college tutors had little research capacity of their own and saw the undergraduate as an embryonic future gentleman, liberal connoisseur, widely-read, and mainstay of country and empire in politics, commerce, army, land or church, not an apprentice to dusty, centuries-old archives, wherein no more than 1 in 100 could find even an innocuous career.

* US President George W. Bush announces his support for federal funding of limited research on embryonic stem cells.

However, Bush opposed any new embryonic stem cell research, and had limited the federal funding of existing research.

Pluripotency distinguishes embryonic stem cells from adult stem cells found in adults ; while embryonic stem cells can generate all cell types in the body, adult stem cells are multipotent and can produce only a limited number of cell types.

This technical achievement would potentially enable scientists to work with new lines of embryonic stem cells derived using public funding in the USA, where federal funding was at the time limited to research using embryonic stem cell lines derived prior to August 2001.

Although ethical concerns are mostly limited to the use of embryonic stem cells, it may also be important to address any possible ethical concerns ( however unlikely ) over the use of somatic stem cells.

She is pro-life and has voted against embryonic stem cell research.

He supports limiting stem cell research to adult stem cells and stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood, and, in July 2006, he voted against lifting restrictions on federal research dollars for new embryonic stem cell lines.

Concerned Women for America's major areas of public policy activity in recent years have consisted of opposition to LGBT political causes ( especially recognition of same-sex unions ), promoting laws restricting abortion, supporting bans on embryonic stem-cell research, and working against pornography.

It opposes and lobbies against LGBT rights, abortion, divorce, embryonic stem-cell research, and pornography.

Among other stances totally opposite those of Chafee's, Laffey was pro-life and against embryonic stem cell research.

He is generally conservative on social issues ; he strongly opposes abortion and has been one of the few Democrats to vote against even embryonic stem cell research and the vast majority of gun control measures.

Likewise, Democratic strategists have hoped that the issue of stem cell research could be used as a wedge issue against the right, since some Republicans support the research while others are morally opposed to the use of embryonic cells in research.

During the general election against former state senator and real estate agent Dino Rossi, Gregoire proposed a major initiative in life sciences, especially by increasing state funding for embryonic stem cell research.

In August 2010, as part of preliminary motions in Sherley vs Sebelius, Judge Royce C. Lamberth granted an injunction against federally funded embryonic stem cell ( ESC ) research on the grounds that the guidelines for ESC research " clearly violate " the Dickey-Wicker Amendment.

In fact this situation has only been historically realized temporarily such as in the Israeli kibbutz or the very early Soviets before the adoption of state capitalism and entrenchment of the communist party as a New Class, or in isolated or preliminary form such as in the final phase of the Second Spanish Republic, or various experimental utopian communities ; although in embryonic form.

Often the passage from one world or stage to the next is impelled by inner forces, a process of germination or gestation from earlier, embryonic forms.

In September 1625, in retaliation, the Spanish led a full assault on the island of Tortola, laying waste to its defenses and destroying its embryonic settlements.

Long-lived carbon-14 from the fusion process would cause four million embryonic, neonatal or childhood deaths and stillbirths over the next 20 generations, and between 200,000 and one million human beings now living would have their lives cut short by radiation-produced diseases such as leukemia.

When the automobile was in its embryonic stage, such roads as existed were pretty much open roads with the tacit understanding that horses should not be unduly terrified being about the only rule governing where, when and how fast a car could go.

Because most embryonic development is outside the parental body, it is subject to many adaptations due to specific ecological circumstances.

Histologic cross section of embryonic foot of mouse ( Mus musculus ) in 15. 5 day of its development.

Since a -/- mutation in the APAF-1 gene is embryonic lethal, a gene trap strategy was used in order to generate an APAF-1 -/- mouse.

Additionally, after embryonic day 12. 5, the brain of the embryos showed several structural changes.

A caspase 8 knock-out leads to cardiac failure and thus embryonic lethality.

In the cave form, lens development begins within the first 24 hours of embryonic development, but quickly aborts, the lens cells dying ; most of the rest of the eye structures never develop.

All vertebrate brains share a common underlying form, which appears most clearly during early stages of embryonic development.

The egg is placed into a Petri dish where it develops into embryonic stem cells, which have shown potentials for treating several ailments.

Upon release, embryonic development begins ; absent sperm, growth stops after the first few cell divisions.

Social conservatives ( in the first meaning of the word ) in many countries generally favor the pro-life position in the abortion controversy and oppose human embryonic stem cell research ( particularly if publicly funded ); oppose both eugenics and human enhancement ( transhumanism ) while supporting bioconservatism ; support a traditional definition of marriage as being one man and one woman ; view the nuclear family model as society's foundational unit ; oppose expansion of civil marriage and child adoption rights to couples in same-sex relationships ; promote public morality and traditional family values ; oppose atheism, especially militant atheism, secularism and the separation of church and state ; support the prohibition of drugs, prostitution, and euthanasia ; and support the censorship of pornography and what they consider to be obscenity or indecency.

It is thought that this may be involved in development ; there is more methylation of lysine 27 in embryonic cells than in differentiated cells, whereas lysine 4 methylation positively regulates transcription by recruiting nucleosome remodeling enzymes and histone acetylases.

Studies on transgenic mice reveal that calreticulin is cardiac embryonic gene that is essential during development.

Proper orientation of cilia via centriole positioning toward the posterior of embryonic node cells is critical for establishing left – right asymmetry during mammalian development.

On the whole, Eisenhower's support of the embryonic space program was lukewarm until the Soviet launch of Sputnik.

The production of Dolly showed that genes in the nucleus of such a mature differentiated somatic cell are still capable of reverting back to an embryonic totipotent state, creating a cell that can then go on to develop into any part of an animal.

" Strong " recapitulation hypothesis views ontogeny as repeating forms of the ancestors, while " weak " recapitulation means that what is repeated ( and built upon ) is the ancestral embryonic development process.

Haeckel introduced the concept of " heterochrony ", which is the change in timing of embryonic development over the course of evolution.

Comparing different embryonic stages of different animals is a tool that can be used to infer relationships between species, and thus biological evolution.

By comparing different embryonic stages of different vertebrate species, he formulated the Recapitulation theory.

This theory states that an animal's embryonic development follows exactly the same sequence as the sequence of its evolutionary ancestors.
