A Versatile Digitally Programmable Voltage Mode Multifunctional Biquadratic Filter
In this paper, a digitally controlled single input multi-output voltage mode multifunctional biquadratic filter is presented. The circuit makes use of only a single DVCC, two grounded capacitors, one grounded and two floating resistors. The digital control is incorporated using a current-summing network (CSN). Tuning of cut-off frequency is carried out with the help of a 3–bit digital control w...
متن کاملThrombospondin: a modular adhesive glycoprotein of platelets and nucleated cells
Platelet adhesion to the subendothelial matrix and the subsequent aggregation of the activated platelets is a special case of intercellular adhesion that is highly regulated and for which multiple, possibly redundant adhesive systems exist. The large "adhesive glycoproteins" such as fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, and fibronectin and their receptors, which participate in platelet adhesion an...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 cytokine: a multifunctional glycoprotein for cancer.
Interleukin 6 is a multifunctional cytokine. Its increased levels have been associated with elevated cancer risk, and also these levels have been found to be a prognostic factor for several cancer types. In addition, increased levels have been found in coronary heart disease, insulin resistant patients, advance stage cancer patients, atopy/asthma and in patients with blood circulating micrometa...
متن کاملThe platelet glycoprotein thrombospondin binds specifically to sulfated glycolipids.
The human platelet glycoprotein thrombospondin (TSP) binds specifically and with high affinity to sulfatides (galactosylceramide-I3-sulfate). Binding of 125I-TSP to lipids from sheep and human erythrocytes and human platelets resolved on thin layer chromatograms indicates that sulfatides are the only lipids in the membrane which bind TSP. Binding to less than 2 ng of sulfatide could be detected...
متن کاملStructure-function analysis of Nel, a thrombospondin-1-like glycoprotein involved in neural development and functions.
Nel (neural epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like molecule) is a multimeric, multimodular extracellular glycoprotein with heparin-binding activity and structural similarities to thrombospondin-1. Nel is predominantly expressed in the nervous system and has been implicated in neuronal proliferation and differentiation, retinal axon guidance, synaptic functions, and spatial learning. The Nel protein...
