Local character of calcium release in cardiac myocytes, as defined by confocal recordings of calcium sparks, implies independent activation of individual calcium release sites based on ryanodine receptor (RyR) channel recruitment. We constructed virtual calcium release sites (vCRSs) composed of a variable number of RyR channels distributed in clusters in accordance with the experimentally obser...

39 The quantitative relationship between presynaptic calcium influx and transmitter 40 release critically depends on the spatial coupling of presynaptic calcium channels to 41 synaptic vesicles. When there is a close association between calcium channels and 42 synaptic vesicles, the flux through a single open calcium channel may be sufficient to 43 trigger transmitter release. With increasing s...

The quantitative relationship between presynaptic calcium influx and transmitter release critically depends on the spatial coupling of presynaptic calcium channels to synaptic vesicles. When there is a close association between calcium channels and synaptic vesicles, the flux through a single open calcium channel may be sufficient to trigger transmitter release. With increasing spatial distance...

The effects of shelving type, packaging, and release height on success of Trichogramma deion Pinto & Oatman (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) parasitizing Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs was studied under laboratory conditions. In trials on multipletiered gondola-type or open shelving units, with or without packaging, foraging success was evaluated by comparing paras...

This prototype deliverable consists of a software release of JavaScript widgets for faceted spatial-semantic browsing and an accompanying deliverable report. The software is open source and can be downloaded at https://github. com/ AKSW/SpatialSemanticBrowsingWidgets. The widgets are being used in the LinkedGeoData project. This deliverable describes these widgets in more detail. Collaborati...

The objective of this research paper is to study about the software reliability metrics. Reliability is one of the important aspects of any software that cannot be ignored and hard to measure. According to ANSI, “Software Reliability is defined as the probability of failure-free software operation for a specified period of time in a specified environment”. Software Reliability is different from...

In most empirical research on software evolution, analysis of the data is performed with respect to the release sequence number, rather than the release date. This distinction is important when the intervals between release dates vary widely, as is generally the case with open-source software. A widely cited paper on the maintainability of Linux was published in this journal in 2002. The paper ...

In recent years, the introduction of affordable platforms in the KidSize class of the Humanoid League has had a positive impact on the performance of soccer robots. The lack of readily available larger robots, however, severely affects the number of participants in Teenand AdultSize and consequently the progress of research that focuses on the challenges arising with robots of larger weight and...

While initially limited to the Linux operating system and associated tools, open source solutions now include enterprise frameworks such as J2EE, as well as complete applications. IT adoption is driven by the enthusiasm of developers and increasingly by vendors seeking to challenge the closed source dominance of MS in particular and also, to some extent, IBM and Sun. The mainstream support of I...
