The high molecular weight caldesmon (h-CaD) is predominantly expressed in smooth muscles, whereas the low molecular weight caldesmon (l-CaD) is widely distributed in nonmuscle tissues and cells. The changes in CaD isoform expression are closely correlated with the phenotypic modulation of smooth muscle cells. During a search for isoform diversity of human CaDs, l-CaD cDNAs were cloned from HeLa...

The fast growing of mobile Internet users with the ability of using a wide diversity of access technologies such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX and UMTS/LTE, and the increasing proliferation of mobile devices with heterogeneous network interfaces, require versatile mobility mechanisms providing seamless roaming across those access technologies. Mobility agents such as Mobile IP and Fast MIPv6 are common, howe...

Corresponding to the rise and acceptance of the 802.11b standard (Wi-Fi) in the United States, wireless local area networks (WLANs) that offer high-speed Internet access at numerous locations in markets that cover education, health care, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, government, and transportation are experiencing rapid growth. There has also been an active establishment of innovative bus...

  Background: Statins have been effective medications in lowering serum total cholesterol (TC) concentrations across populations over time. The aim of this study was to estimate national and provincial trends in atorvastatin sales in Iran, to systematically quantify its relationship with socio-economic indicators, and changes in TC level.   Methods : In this retrospective ecological study, cond...

Pitch control is one of t he  major aspects of wind turbine control, particularly over high wi nd s p e e d  a n d  oscillations. General El e c t r i c  (GE) model of  wi n d  t ur bi ne  i s practically compatible with the structure of the wind turbines. I t  h a s  b e e n  p r o v e d t h a t  simulation results using this model are closer to the actual case, compared to other available mod...

Native poultry is a valuable genetic source with high resistance against diseases providing an important subject for breeding programs. The non-linear mathematical modeling of the growth pattern may partly explain the relationship between requirements and body weight to precise feeding that plays a vital role in the animal enterprises. A study was conducted to compare five non-linear models inc...

The Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm is one that utilized frequently in data centers. Wireless Networking, often known as SDWN, refers to an environment which concepts from SDN are implemented wireless networks. SDWN struggling with challenges of scalability and performance a result the growing number networks its coverage area. It thought techniques, such Mininet-Wi-Fi Ryu Controller...

Let NR([k]) denote the set of words over the alphabet [k] = {1, . . . , k} with no consecutive repeated letters. Given a word w = w1 . . . wn ∈ NR([k]), or more generally in [k]∗, we say that a pair 〈wi, wj〉 matches the μ pattern if i < j, wi < wj, and there is no i < k < j such that wi ≤ wk ≤ wj. We say that 〈wi, wj〉 is a trivial μ-match if wi + 1 = wj and a nontrivial μ-match if wi + 1 < wj. ...

Contactless RF-based sensing techniques are emerging as a viable means for building gesture recognition systems. While promising, existing solutions have poor generalization ability when targeting new users, environments or device deployment. They also often require multiple pairs of transceivers and large number training samples each target domain. These limitations either lead to cross-domain...
