In the last few years, the number of wireless devices has increased significantly. Today’s enterprise networks are facing challenges to manage such a large number of devices with the limited wireless resources. To increase the capacity, today’s enterprise networks use a dense deployment of Access Points (APs) [5]. In this scenario, adjacent and overlapping WiFi hotspots (AP-STA clusters, where ...

A specialized cubic-millimeter hotspot in the rostrodorsal quadrant of medial shell in nucleus accumbens (NAc) of rats may mediate opioid enhancement of gustatory hedonic impact or "liking". Here, we selectively stimulated the three major subtypes of opioid receptors via agonist microinjections [mu (DAMGO), delta (DPDPE), or kappa (U50488H)] and constructed anatomical maps for functional locali...

In most eukaryotes, the prophase of the first meiotic division is characterized by a high level of homologous recombination between homologous chromosomes. Recombination events are not distributed evenly within the genome, but vary both locally and at large scale. Locally, most recombination events are clustered in short intervals (a few kilobases) called hotspots, separated by large intervenin...

This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Earth System Dynamics (ESD). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in ESD if available. Abstract An analysis of so-called Early Warning Signals (EWS) is proposed to identify the spatial origin of a sudden transition that results from a loss in stability of a current state. EWS, such as rising variance and autocorrelation, ca...

Recently, haplotype-based association studies have become popular for detecting disease-related or drug-response-associated genes. In these studies, it has been gradually recognized that a haplotype block structure is important. A rational and automatic method for identifying the haplotype block structure from SNP data has been desirable. We have developed a new method by using an ancestor-deri...

When inserted at novel locations in the yeast genome, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae recombination hotspot HOT1 stimulates mitotic exchange in adjacent sequences. HOT1 is derived from the rDNA repeat unit, and the sequences required for the recombination-stimulatory activity closely correspond to the rDNA transcription enhancer and initiation site, suggesting there is an association between high ...

We present an analysis of observations of the doubly-lensed double hotspot in the giant radio galaxy J 0816+5003 from MERLIN, MDM, WIYN, WHT, UKIRT and the VLA. The images of the two hotspot components span a factor of two in radius on one side of the lensing galaxy at impact parameters of less than 500 pc. Hence we measure the slope of the lensing potential over a large range in radius, made p...

Microscale thermoelectric cooling elements (TECs) are being proposed to cool down an integrated circuit to maintain its performance. The maximum cooling power of microscale TECs is significantly reduced by the interfacial resistance. For our particular application, we calculate the optimal dimension of the TECs, made of Bi2Te3, that reduce the temperature at a hotspot on an IC chip by 10 C. By ...

We provide an experiment analysis of MIMM (Multi Interface Mobility Management) demonstrated in a heterogeneous network involving 802.11b and CDMA access technologies. Wireless LAN (WLAN), or Wi Fi is becoming prevalent means of access to the wireless internet. Especially the advent of the hotspot service brings the roaming user the benefit of receiving broadband internet access while outside o...

Composing application with plug & play (P&P) agriculture-crop business component on the domain-agriculture-crops software architecture (DAcSA) is an ideal implementation mechanism to develop the domain-agriculture-crop applied system. A black and white box framework for the adaptive DAcSA is built based on the agriculture-crop business component and hotspot subsystem. According to the domain-ag...
