In an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based brain–computer interface (BCI), motor imagery has been successfully used as a communication strategy. Motor imagery causes detectable amplitude changes in certain frequency bands of EEGs, which are dubbed event-related desynchronization\synchronization. The frequency components that give effective discrimination between different types of motor imagery are...

Cooperative downloading is one of the effective methods to improve the amount of downloaded data in vehicular ad hoc networking (VANET). However, the poor channel quality and short encounter time bring about a high packet loss rate, which decreases transmission efficiency and fails to satisfy the requirement of high quality of service (QoS) for some applications. Digital fountain code (DFC) can...

In the traditional mechatronic systems, the controller designs are usually separated from the mechanical structure designs. Consequently, the controller algorithms become more and more complex, i.e., from the PD controller, to the computed-torque controller, and to all sorts of the adaptive controller. These complex control algorithms encounter many difficulties in implementation of the control...

The Internet of Things (IoT) technology is considered the foundation for next-generation smart villages due to its ability use sustainable information and communication technologies. can enable real-time data analytics automate decision-making local villagers in terms agriculture, health care, transportation, environment, energy. However, most wireless sensing devices exchange using public netw...

The formation and attachment of new cementum is crucial for periodontium regeneration. Tissue engineering is currently explored to achieve complete, reliable and reproducible regeneration of the periodontium. The capacity of multipotency and self-renewal makes adipose tissue-deprived stem cells (ADSCs) an excellent cell source for tissue regeneration and repair. After rat ADSCs were cultured in...

The vacuolar protein sorting (vps) system in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae, which has unique cell polarity and the ability to secrete large amounts of proteins, was evaluated by using mutants that missort vacuolar proteins into the medium. Vacuolar carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) fused with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was used as a vacuolar marker. Twenty dfc (dim EGFP fluore...

We have analyzed the organization of pre-rRNA processing by confocal microscopy in pea root cell nucleoli using a variety of probes for fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence. Our results show that transcript processing within the nucleolus is spatially highly organized. Probes to the 5' external transcribed spacer (ETS) and first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) showed tha...

T he organization of transcriptionally active ribosomal genes in animal cell nucleoli is investigated in this study in order to address the long-standing controversy with regard to the intranucleolar localization of these genes. Detailed analyses of HeLa cell nucleoli include direct localization of ribosomal genes by in situ hybridization and their indirect localization via nascent ribosomal tr...
