In this paper, we derive a capacity inner bound for a synchronous Gaussian Z channel with intersymbol interference (ISI) under input power constraints. This is done by converting the original channel model into an n-block memoryless circular Gaussian Z channel (n-CGZC) and successively decomposing the n-block memoryless channel into a series of independent parallel channels in the frequency dom...

Introduction: Previous studies and our works have indicated several cation channels in the rat brain mitochondrial inner membrane. In this work, we report the single-channel characterization of a cation channel from the rat brain mitochondrial inner membrane incorporated into a planar lipid bilayer. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the adult rat brain, its supernatant was centrifuged...

This paper investigates the Stackelberg equilibrium for pricing and ordering decisions in a dominant retailer dual-channel supply chain. In a dual-channel sales network, the products are sold through both a traditional, physical retailer and a direct Internet channel. It is assumed that the retailer is the leader and the powerful member of the supply chain has the market power and acts as a lea...

Neonatal diabetes mellitus is considered a rare disease that is diagnosed in the first six months of life, and can be either transient or permanent. Recent advances in molecular genetics have shown that activating mutations in KCNJ11 (the gene that encodes for the Kir6.2 subunit of the K ATP potassium channel of the pancreatic beta-cell) is a common cause of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus...

conclusions child dental neglect has many long-term impacts. the main professionals who are responsible for identification, intervention and treatment of child dental neglect are dental practitioners. however, other professionals cannot ignore this task. finally, child dental neglect, despite its derivative outcomes, may be a presentation of a broader maltreatment. results distinguishing the di...

it has been argued that oral lichen planus (olp) may increase the risk of oral cancer. patients with olp may be at an increased risk for developing of oscc (oral squamous cell carcinoma). here, the author reports a case of olp initially presenting with a clearly benign olp lesion that transformed into oscc over a course of 18 months. this report may provide a clear evidence for olp lesion as a ...

statement of the problem oral health education may play an important role in the prevention of oral complications of diabetes mellitus. different methods have been used to present these educations purpose this study investigated the efficacy of oral health education package to increase knowledge of diabetic patients about oral health in iran. materials and methods in this experimental study, 37...

Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus refers to diabetes that occurs before the age of 6 months and persists through life. It is a rare disorder affecting one in 0.2-0.5 million live births. Mutations in the gene KCNJ11, encoding the subunit Kir6.2, and ABCC8, encoding SUR1 of the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel, are the most common causes of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus. Sulfonyl...

OBJECTIVE We sought to examine the molecular mechanisms underlying permanenent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) in a patient with a heterozygous de novo L225P mutation in the L0 region of the sulfonylurea receptor (SUR)1, the regulatory subunit of the pancreatic ATP-sensitive K(+) channel (K(ATP) channel). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The effects of L225P on the properties of recombinant K(AT...
