In such cases, the network needs to maintain an energy balance among the nodes to ensure simultaneous death of the nodes. Adaptive communication techniques employing different versions of the water-fi...

Multiple genetic alterations are common in cancers including those of the breast. The mechanisms leading to these alterations such as point mutations, gene amplifications, deletions and replication error are often associated with frequent and consistent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or microsatellite instability (MSI). Several cytological and molecular studies have shown high frequency loss of g...

In the typical laboratory paradigm to investigate event-based prospective memory, participants perform a particular action (e.g., press the Z key) when a target word appears on a computer screen during an ongoing task (e.g., a ...
