Mammary epithelial cells proliferate, invade the stroma, differentiate, and die in adult mammals by mechanisms that are poorly understood. We found that Id-1, an inhibitor of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, regulates mammary epithelial cell growth, differentiation, and invasion in culture. Here, we show that Id-1 is expressed highly during mammary development in virgin mice and du...

Aiming at solving the scalability problem that the current Internet is facing, the separation of the IP namespace into two different namespaces (the Locator and the Identifier namespaces) is one of the most promising paradigms. However, the impact of this new paradigm on the Internet traffic is yet to be assessed. In this extended abstract, we present a preliminary analysis of TCP performance i...

1 The Weyl dimension formula and its q-analogue This material is taken from notes for a joint paper with Zajj Daugherty and Rahbar Virk. Everything here is " well known ". Proposition 1.1. Let g be a finite dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra etc.etc. ...???? Let ν be a dominant integral weight so that the irreducible module L(ν) of highest weight ν is finite dimensional. Letˆκ 1 = ν, ν ...

The impact of glucose-free icodextrin (ID) for overnight dwell as compared to conventional glucose-containing dialysate (GD) on potassium (K(+)) metabolism in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients has not yet been investigated. Serum K(+) in a total of 255 stable patients (116 on GD and 139 on ID) on CAPD for more than 6 months and in 139 patients on ID before and after ID u...

Generalized signcryption is a new cryptographic primitive in which a signcryption scheme can work as an encryption scheme as well as a signature scheme. This paper presents an identity based generalized signcryption scheme based on bilinear pairing and discusses its security for message confidentiality non repudiation and ciphertext authentication.

Fiveand 3-month-old infants’ perception of infant-directed (ID) faces and the role of speech in perceiving faces were examined. Infants’ eye movements were recorded as they viewed a series of two side-by-side talking faces, one infant-directed and one adultdirected (AD), while listening to ID speech, AD speech, or in silence. Infants showed consistently greater dwell time on ID faces vs. AD fac...

The 82-nucleotide identifier (ID) sequence is present in the rat genome in 1-1.5 X 10(5) copies and in cDNA clones of precursors of brain-specific mRNAs. One brain-specific gene contains more than one ID sequence in its introns. There is an excess of ID sequences to brain genes, and some ID sequences appear to have been inserted as mobile elements into other genetic locations. Therefore, brain ...

An alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivar with a low initial rate of digestion (LIRD), AC Grazeland B , was developed to test the hypothesis that the rate of cell rupture was a cause of frothy bloat in cattle or sheep. The amount of cell wall increases and digestibility declines as plants mature. Thus the cell rupture theory also predicts that the bloat potential of alfalfa is related to maturit...

In this paper we illustrate, using the Id language, that both the operational semantics of a language and its compilation process can be formalized together. Id is a higher-order non-strict functional language augmented with I-structures and M-structures. The operational semantics of Id is given in terms of a smaller kernel language, called Kid. Kid is also the intermediate form used by the com...

Bayesian networks are probabilistic models based on direct acyclic graphs. These models enable a direct representation of causal relations between variables. Their structure is ideal for combining prior knowledge, which often comes in causal form, and observed data. This article gives a short description on the concepts of this important class of models that became extremely popular in recent y...
