Ezrin plays a key role in coupling signal transduction to cortical cell organization. This actin-membrane linker undergoes a series of conformational changes that modulate its interactions with various partners and its localization in membrane or cytosolic pools. Its mobility and exchange rates within and between these two pools were assessed by two-photon fluorescence recovery after photobleac...

In many developed countries, a coordinated effort is underway to build national and regional Health Information Infrastructures (HII) for the linking of disparate sites of care, so that an access to a comprehensive Health Record will be feasible when critical medical decisions are made [1]. However, widespread adoption of such national projects is hindered by a series of barriers- regulatory, t...

The recent development in Cloud computing has enabled the realization of delivering computing as utility. A number of companies have started building Cloud and Grid computing environments, and offering access to the resources as a “Pay as you go” basis. This has created a need for a market exchange (ME) that brings providers and consumers together and facilitates their trading. Such market envi...

In Europe and the world today is developed a fairly extensive network of scientific and p...

We propose to enhance EPCglobal RFIDs enriching them with semantic capabilities. Memory organization of tags and the data exchange protocol are exploited and extended to the purpose. By design, the proposed enhancements do not alter the basic behavior of protocol and tag memory organization and are thus fully backward compatible. In order to store annotated descriptions a compression algorithm ...
