pre-cteappv Oops 090713

This is a pre-cteappv Oops and I start wondering how Fleury manage to find journals with so poor review process as to let go to press such mistakes.
This one is from An Elasto-Plastic Model of Avian Gastrulation, Vincent Fleury, Organogenesis 2:1, 6-16, 2005.

geometry

I’m greek and during my young years I was feed a lot of geometry. You know how it is, national pride for the ancestors, especially under a military junta. So, I’m quite sensible when one presents geometrical problems incorrectly.
My very first objection concerning Fleury’s model1 was that he described the epiblast cells as contained [...]

vincent fleury:
By the way “I can has L2/R2″ is not a sentence
Aha! this is not a sentence. I was waiting for this one since I read the paper.
For Dr Fleury first step here, and second one here, both necessary to get the flavor.
For everybody else, a puzzle served below [p22 col2 §1]:
The significance of [...]

[p 20, col 2, §3]
Genetic analysis, in relation to evolutionary issues, shows that actually, genes for limbs and for tails are similar, and many are identical ([98] and references above31, Ref. [60]). Also, genes which serve to form the true limb skeleton, are actually present in fish fins, in which such skeletal elements are absent [...]

Nevertheless, when folds growth is prolonged by evolution, it is so in the direction of the existing fold. Stated otherwise, if the appearance of a fold corresponds to crossing of a generic biomechanical threshold for folding, one may expect that the fold is itself stable in an open set of parameters, such that, “conserving the [...]

[…] especially, pentadactily has been related to the expression of Hoxd genes [91].
where [91] is: A Devonian tetrapod-like fish and the evolution of the tetrapod body plan, Edward B. Daeschler, Neil H. Shubin & Farish A. Jenkins Jr, Nature Vol 440, 6 April 2006, doi:10.1038/nature04639.
No mention of any Hox gene in the paper, Fleury should [...]

[p21, col 1, §2
Hindlimbs form first during development of most tetrapods, and they are likely to be last to disappear, as known in snakes. The fact that hindlimbs form first and are thus often larger, may be ascribed to the narrow spacing in the caudal part of the early embryo (more below).
Ahem, hindlimbs of most [...]

Did he call that a Homo habilis skull? It’s not; that’s a drawing based on the Peking Man (Homo erectus) skulls.

Thankx

More specifically, the announcement of a mutation that is able to generate additional limbs shows that such limbs are actually associated to a duplication of the entire body axis, with the corresponding movements of engulfment and segmentation which create the normal limb plates [108].
