With the rapid growth of mobile traffic demand, a promising approach to relieve cellular network congestion is to offload users’ traffic to small-cell networks. In this paper, we investigate how the mobile users (MUs) can effectively offload traffic by taking advantage of the capability of dual-connectivity, which enables an MU to simultaneously communicate with a macro base station (BS) and a ...

One fundamental problem when trying to calculate the force developed by one muscle during a motor task is the muscle model. Usually, one control signal is juxtaposed to one musclotendon unit. The question is how is this signal connected to the activation of the motor units (MUs) that compose the muscle and fire differently. The aim of the paper is to compare a Hill-type muscle model to a model ...

The time course of differentiative events in the pentamer IgM response was examined by following the expression of J chain and mu chain RNA and their protein products in mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes. The analyses showed that the shift to mus RNA synthesis begins shortly after stimulation and precedes proliferation of the cells and any increase in mu RNA levels. In contrast, expression of J ch...

Regulation of membrane and secretory mu synthesis was examined in human lymphoblastoid cell lines representing various stages of differentiation. Immunoglobulin phenotype was determined by surface and cytoplasmic staining with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies and by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis of anti-mu precipitable cellular products. The thy...

The aim of this study was to analyze the neuromuscular mechanisms involved in the torque decrease induced by submaximal electromyostimulation (EMS) of the quadriceps muscle. It was hypothesized that torque decrease after EMS would reflect the fatigability of the activated motor units (MUs), but also a reduction in the number of MUs recruited as a result of changes in axonal excitability thresho...

Many mammals experience spontaneous declines in their food intake and body weight near the end of life, a stage we refer to as senescence. We have previously demonstrated that senescent rats have blunted food intake responses to intracerebroventricular injections of neuropeptide Y (NPY). In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that responsiveness to GABA, a putative potentiator of NPY's ...

The nucleus reticularis pontis oralis (RPO) and nucleus reticularis pontis caudalis (RPC) are implicated in the generation of rapid eye movement sleep (REM). Work in cats has indicated that GABA in RPO plays a role in the regulation of REM. We assessed REM after local microinjections into RPO and RPC of the GABAA agonist, muscimol (MUS), and the GABAA antagonist, bicuculline (BIC). Rats (90 day...

In mobile Internet ecosystem, users (MUs) purchase wireless data services from service provider (ISP) to access and acquire the interested content (e.g., online game) Content Provider (CP). The popularity of intelligent functions AI 3D modeling) increases computation-intensity services, leading a growing computation pressure for MUs’ resource-limited devices. To this end, edge computi...

Throughout music history, theorists have identified and documented interpretable rules that capture the decisions of composers. This paper asks, “Can a machine behave like a music theorist?” It presents MUS-ROVER, a self-learning system for automatically discovering rules from symbolic music. MUS-ROVER performs feature learning via n-gram models to extract compositional rules — statistical patt...

background: active immunization with gonadotropin releasing hormone conjugate (gnrh-bsa) manipulates the fertility axis and thus alters the reproductive cyclicity serum estradiol and progesterone levels. while the application of kamdhenu ark increases the efficacy of gnrh-bsa. objective: this experimental investigation is aimed to evaluate the modulatory effects on estrous cycle serum estradiol...
