As part of an effort to identify informative molecular markers for genetic analysis of human pedigrees segregating for obesity, we have developed a genetic map of human 1p in the region of the OB receptor (OBR), the gene that is defective in murine diabetes (Obrdb) and rat Zucker fatty (Obrfa) mutations located on mid-chromosome 4 and chromosome 5, respectively. OBR was mapped 0.9 cR centromeri...

The physiological responses to water immersion (WI) are known; however, the responses to stress following WI are poorly characterized. Ten healthy men were exposed to three physiological stressors before and after a 6-h resting WI (32-33°C): 1) a 2-min cold pressor test, 2) a static handgrip test to fatigue at 40% of maximum strength followed by postexercise muscle ischemia in the exercising fo...

The Internet of Things (IoT) – connection of small smart sensors, actuators and other devices to the Internet – is a key concept within the smart home. To ease deployment, such devices are often wireless and battery powered. An important question is the wireless interface used. The ubiquity of WiFi in homes today makes this an attractive option, but the relatively high power requirements of Wi-...

People infected with Blastomyces dermatitidis develop strong immunity to the yeast surface adhesin WI-1, including antibody responses to the adhesive domain, a 25-amino-acid repeat, and cellular responses to the N terminus. We studied the immunogenicity of WI-1 and the ability of anti-WI-1 immune responses to protect against lethal pulmonary infection in mice. WI-1 immunization, given in Freund...

Wi-Fi throughput enhancement is required for the Tokyo Olympic in 2020. This is mainly because Wi-Fi can be a monetary-cost-effective solution for foreign tourists. However, especially in urban areas, Wi-Fi access points (APs) have deployed densely for the coverage enhancement of each service. Due to the dense deployment, there is a chaotic and disorderly environment in urban cities. Chaotic fr...
