In both vertebrates and invertebrates, glial cells wrap axonal processes to ensure electrical conductance. Here we report that Crooked neck (Crn), the Drosophila homolog of the yeast Clf1p splicing factor, is directing peripheral glial cell maturation. We show that crooked neck is expressed and required in glial cells to control migration and axonal wrapping. Within the cytoplasm, Crn interacts...

In high-mobility cognitive radio networks (CRNs), the fast topology changes increase the complexity of the routing scheme. In this paper, we propose a novel CRN routing scheme that considers the path stability and node capacity. First, a realistic mobility model is proposed to describe the movement of highly mobile airborne nodes and estimate the link stability performance based on node movemen...

This work revealed the results of comparative surveys of the impact of formed surface layer TiN and CrN and two component surfaces layer TiN-steel and CrN-steel. The slide couple worked in conditions of lubricating the friction area with Lotos Syntetyk 5W/40 and Castrol GTX Magnatec 5W/40 engine oils. In the friction couple the counter sample was made from CuPb30 bearing alloy. The tribological...

Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) is an emerging technology used to solve spectrum shortage problems in wireless communications. In CRN, unlicensed secondary users (SUs) and licensed primary (PUs) use resources at the same time by avoiding any interference from SUs. However, sensing process CRN often disturbed a security issue known as Primary User Emulation Attack (PUEA). PUEA one of main issues t...

BACKGROUND Disorders of creatine metabolism arise from genetic alterations of arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT), guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT), and the creatine transporter. We developed a strategy for the detection of AGAT and GAMT defects by measurement of guanidinoacetate (GAA) and creatine plus creatinine (Cr+Crn) in biological fluids. METHODS Three patients with AGAT...

Executive Summary When the procedure " Calculation of Railway Noise 1995 " (CRN) [Ref 1] was devised, the list of stock that was included was aimed at representing the majority of typical vehicles operating on the railway at that time. However, since 1995 the nature of the rolling stock fleet has changed considerably and there are many types of vehicle currently in operation that are not includ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects various ceramic-based coatings on performance AISI M2 high-speed steel punch used in nut piercing process. punches were coated with TiN, TiN/CrN, and CrAlN utilizing a physical vapour deposition method. total stroke number was evaluate tool life CrAlN, TiN/CrN punches. able work up greater numbers than TiN CrAlN. Hardness wear tests performed ...

Abstract Melanocortin 2 receptor antagonists in canine Cushing’s disease: vitro studies disease (CD), caused by an ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma, is one of the most common endocrinopathies dogs. The current medical treatment options involve adrenocortical steroid synthesis inhibitors, but a selective targeted approach to block ACTH at its would be much more attractive. objective this study w...

In a cognitive radio network (CRN), a preempted secondary user (SU) is placed in a call level queue to wait for accessing another free channel. If the availability of channels is transparent to SUs, packets will be generated during their waiting time and the performance of the CRN will be influenced by which way to handle these packets. This paper mainly analyzes the performance of a CRN adopti...

Transition metal nitrides like CrN and TiN are widely used in automotive applications due to their high hardness and wear resistance. Recently, we showed that a multilayer architecture of CrN and TiN, deposited using the hybrid-high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) and direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS)-HIPIMS/DCMS deposition technique, results in coatings which indicate not ...
