The equilibrium and rate constants of molecular complex formation are of great interest both in the field of chemistry and biology. Here, we use fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), supplemented by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Taylor dispersion analysis (TDA), to study the complex formation in model systems of dye-micelle interactions. In our case, dyes rhodamine 110 and ATTO-488 ...

In 4G wireless networks, only hard handover is defined to support users’ mobility. However, dense deployment of femtocells leads to significant rise in amount of initiated handovers. Thus, inevitable decrease in quality of service (QoS) experienced by users is observed. In this article, we investigate possible introduction of fast cell selection (FCS) to OFDMA-based network with femtocells. The...

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a powerful approach to characterizing the binding and transport dynamics of macromolecules. The unbiased interpretation of FCS data relies on the evaluation of multiple competing hypotheses to describe an underlying physical process under study, which is typically unknown a priori. Bayesian inference provides a convenient framework for this evaluat...

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of purified GPBoS and commonly used FCS on porcine oocyte maturation and subsequent embryonic development after their parthenogenetic activation. COCs were obtained from dissected follicles and cultured for 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 h in M-199 medium either with GPBoS or FCS. After 24 h with GPBoS, 91% of oocytes reached MI stage while in the medi...

The investigation of flow profiles in microstructures and tissues by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) has been a challenging topic in the past decade. Due to its inherent optical configuration, a circular focused laser beam, FCS is unable to resolve microfluidic flow directions. Earlier schemes reported the use of two laser beams or the use of nonsymmetrical laser foci to break the s...

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a method based on the correlation analysis of the temporal behaviour of fluorescence intensity fluctuations. It is commonly used to determine diffusion coefficients and concentrations of samples in the (sub)nano-molar concentration regime. Another quantity made accessible by FCS is the mean number of detected fluorescence photons per molecule and t...

We derive an analytical closed expression to compute the minimum distance (quantified by angle of separation measured from center Earth) between any two satellites located at same altitude and in circular orbits. also exploit several properties Flower Constellations (FCs) that, combined with our formula for distance, give efficient method angular satellites, all possible FCs up a given number s...

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), a general-purpose transport layer protocol by the IETF, has been a promising candidate to join UDP and TCP as a core protocol. The new SCTP services such as multi-homing, multi-streaming, message boundary preservation, no head-of-line delivery blocking, and enhanced security features can significantly enhance performance of FCS applications. SCTP...

To investigate the effect of apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene polymorphism on the resting-state brain function, structure, and blood flow in healthy adults younger than 35 years, using multimodality magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.Seventy-six healthy adults (34 men, 23.7 ± 2.8 y; 31 APOE ε4/ε3 carriers, 31 ε3/ε3 carriers, and 14 ε2/ε3 carriers) were included. For resting-state functional MRI data, ...
