In Self-Organizing Networks (SONs), a potentially large number of SON functions are available that autonomously perfom network management tasks. Different functions are e.g. available for the optimization of the network, and they can have conflicting goals. To ensure an effective optimization of the overall network, coordination of SON functions is necessary. For this purpose, we developed a po...

The tensor product of vector and arbitrary representations of the nonstandard q-deformation U ′ q(son) of the universal enveloping algebra U(son) of Lie algebra son is defined. The Clebsch– Gordan coefficients of tensor product of vector and arbitrary classical or nonclassical type representations of q-algebra U ′ q(son) are found in an explicit form. The Wigner–Eckart theorem for vector operat...

In a handful of years only, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems have become an integral part of the Internet. After a few key successes related to music-sharing (e.g., Napster or Gnutella), they rapidly developed and are nowadays firmly established in various contexts, ranging from large-scale content distribution (BitTorrent) to Internet telephony(Skype) or networking platforms (JXTA). The main idea be...

Khaqani is one of the most important poets in Persian literature. His artistic personality is a complex character; he has worked on various branches of art and elegy is one of the main of these branches. Khaqani has composed over sixty elegies that are considered his masterpieces. His personal elegies are the most famous and the most artistically composed Persian elegies. Seven of these elegies...

Located in the ventrolateral region of the avian brainstem, the superior olivary nucleus (SON) receives inputs from nucleus angularis (NA) and nucleus laminaris (NL) and projects back to NA, NL, and nucleus magnocellularis (NM). The reciprocal connections between the SON and NL are of particular interest because they constitute a feedback circuit for coincidence detection. In the present study,...

Lactation is associated with complex changes of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system, and oxytocin released within the hypothalamic supraoptic (SON) and paraventricular nuclei may serve as a signal of communication between the magnocellular nuclei in lactating rats. In the first study, the intranuclear and peripheral release patterns of oxytocin and vasopressin in response to intraperitoneal...

Mature oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (AVP) magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamic supraoptic nuclei (SON) autocontrol their electrical activity via somatodendritic release of their respective peptides. Because OT and AVP are synthesized early in development and could play an important role in the maturation of these neurons, we checked whether the peptides are released within the SON and act...

The release of vasopressin and oxytocin from the supraoptic nucleus (SON) neurons is tonically regulated by excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory GABAergic synaptic inputs. Acetylcholine is known to excite SON neurons and to elicit vasopressin release. Cholinergic receptors are located pre- and postsynaptically in the SON, but their functional significance in the regulation of SON neurons is ...
