The ability of the testis to convert irreversibly androgens into estrogens is related to the presence of a microsomal enzymatic complex named aromatase. In rodents, germ cell production of estrogens is known, although the regulation of the cytochrome p450 aromatase (p450 arom) gene expression is not completely elucidated. In the present study, we have investigated the putative effects of steroi...

WLAN (WiFi) RSS database for fingerprinting positioning This data set contains two WLAN Received Signal Strengths (RSS) databases suitable for fingerprinting positioning. One database contains training data (Training_rss.csv, Training_coordinates.csv), the radio map, the second database contains test data (Test_rss.csv, Test_coordinates.csv), RSS measurements on a path and the coordinates of th...

The application of ranked set sampling (RSS) techniques to data from a dichotomous population is currently an active research topic, and it has been shown that balanced RSS leads to improvement in precision over simple random sampling (SRS) for estimation of a population proportion. Balanced RSS, however, is not in general optimal in terms of variance reduction for this setting. The objective o...

The renal sexual segment (RSS) of immature Northern and Diamondback Water Snakes and Red-Sided Garter Snakes exhibited varying responses to testosterone or 17beta-estradiol. In both male and female water snakes, kidney mass was not a reliable indicator of hormone treatment, whereas tubule diameter, epithelial height and number of sexual granules responded to hormone treatment. In male water sna...

In this paper, an adaptive packet loss recovery (APLR) method that improves the speech quality of a real-time speech streaming (RSS) system over IP networks is proposed. The proposed APLR method estimates the packet loss rate (PLR) of network via a real-time speech quality assessment (RSQA) at the receiver side of the RSS system, and then requests the opposite RSS system to transmit redundant s...

Neurological disorders and physiological aging can lead to a decline of perceptual abilities. In contrast to the conventional therapeutic approach that comprises intensive training and practicing, passive repetitive sensory stimulation (RSS) has recently gained increasing attention as an alternative to countervail the sensory decline by improving perceptual abilities without the need of active ...

Recently, the current Received Signal Strength based positioning systems have been designed to monitor the location information of mobile nodes and Patients. The positioning systems are designed with different wireless communication technologies and adapted algorithms in wireless network area. The adaptive algorithms improve the accuracy of location of mobile nodes in RSS (Received Signal Stren...

Each V, D, and J gene segment is flanked by a recombination signal sequence (RSS), composed of a conserved heptamer and nonamer separated by a 12- or 23-bp spacer. Variations from consensus in the heptamer or nonamer at specific positions can dramatically affect recombination frequency, but until recently, it had been generally held that only the length of the spacer, but not its sequence, affe...

Introduction Really Simple Syndication (RSS) Feeds allows users to access blogs and articles in an easy to read format. It cuts out the overhead of navigating websites for content and allows users to get information more quickly. Currently, the user is in total control of their RSS feeds, adding and deleting feeds according to their tastes. This requires the user to actively search out RSS feed...
