Cooperative positioning (CP) is a localization technique originally developed for use across wireless sensor networks. With the emergence of Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) infrastructure for use in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), CP techniques can now be adapted for use in location determination across vehicular networks. In vehicular networks, the technique of CP fuses G...

We consider the two-layer crossing minimization problem (CP): given a two-layered graph and a permutation of the vertices on a layer, nd a permutation of the vertices on the other layer so that the number of edge crossings is minimum. Solving CP represents a fundamental step in the construction of aesthetically pleasing layouts of hierarchies and directed graphs. As CP has been proved to be NP-...

Mutations in Hydin cause hydrocephalus in mice, and HYDIN is a strong candidate for causing hydrocephalus in humans. The gene is conserved in ciliated species, including Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. An antibody raised against C. reinhardtii hydin was specific for an approximately 540-kD flagellar protein that is missing from axonemes of strains that lack the central pair (CP). The antibody specif...

Crescentic glomerulonephritis (Crgn) is a complex disorder where macrophage activity and infiltration are significant effector causes. In previous linkage studies using the uniquely susceptible Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rat strain, we have identified multiple crescentic glomerulonephritis QTL (Crgn) and positionally cloned genes underlying Crgn1 and Crgn2, which accounted for 40% of total variance in ...

We reexamine degradation and recovery dynamics in the negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) of p-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (PMOSFETs) by making use of the recently developed in situ polyheater technique. The capability of switching the device temperature extremely fast and almost arbitrarily allows for measuring differently stressed devices directly after...

Nonunitary neutrino mixing in the light sector is a direct consequence of type-I seesaw mass models. In these models, described by submatrix full lepton matrix and, then, it not unitary general. consequence, oscillations are characterized additional parameters, including new sources $CP$ violation. Here we perform combined analysis short and long-baseline oscillation data this extended scenario...

The three plus-strand genomic RNAs of Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) and the subgenomic messenger for viral coat protein (CP) contain a 5'-cap structure, but no 3'-poly(A) tail. Binding of CP to the 3' end of AMV RNAs is required for efficient translation of the viral RNAs and to initiate infection in plant cells. To study the role of CP in translation, plant protoplasts were transfected with lucif...

Reduced brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling has been shown in the frontal cortex and hippocampus in schizophrenia. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether a BDNF deficit would modulate effects of chronic cannabis intake, a well-described risk factor for schizophrenia development. BDNF heterozygous mice (HET) and wild-type controls were chronically treated during w...

We examined the research evidence for interventions used in occupational therapy to promote the motor performance of young children ages 0-5 yr. We identified 24 trials, Levels I-III, that met our review criteria. The studies fell into three categories: (1) developmental interventions for infants (ages 0-3 yr), (2) interventions for young children with or at risk for cerebral palsy (CP), and (3...
