GABA(A) receptors are the principal sites of fast synaptic inhibition in the brain. These receptors are hetero-pentamers that can be assembled from a number of subunit classes: alpha(1-6), beta(1-3), gamma(1-3), delta(1), epsilon, theta;, and pi, but the majority of receptor subtypes is believed, however, to be composed of alpha, beta, and gamma2 subunits. A major mechanism for modulating GABA(...

The prevalence of cloud computing environments and the ever increasing reliance of large organisations on computational resources has meant that service providers must operate at unprecedented scales and levels of efficiency. Dynamic resource allocation (DRA) policies have been shown to allow service providers to improve resource utilisation and operational efficiency in presence of unpredictab...

There is a large repeated games literature illustrating how future interactions provide incentives for cooperation. Much of this literature assumes public monitoring: players always observe precisely the same thing. Even slight deviations from public monitoring to private monitoring that incorporate differences in players’ observations dramatically complicate coordination. Equilibria with priva...

Background: In the treatment of prostate cancer, radiotherapy is the potential to increase second primary cancers such as bladder and rectal cancers. The reasons for this potential are more monitor units (MUs), therefore a larger total body dose because of leakage radiation, a bigger volume of normal tissue is exposed to lower radiation doses. This study was designed to compare the integral dos...

As the foundation for MapReduce processing, Hadoop is one of the fundamental technologies in big data analytics. Hadoop breaks up large data into data blocks, replicates them, and stores them in a distributed storage system. Data blocks can be placed in a machine where the data will be processed (data local), in a machine in the same rack (rack-local), or in a machine in a different rack (off-r...

Vitamin D plays an important role in cell growth and differentiation and is proposed to protect against cancer initiation and/or progression. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) has a thymine/cytosine (T/C) polymorphism located in the first of two potential start (ATG) codons that can be detected by a RFLP using the endonuclease FokI. The C variant, which lacks the first ATG, results in a shorter VDR ...

In this paper, we prove that the category of rack crossed modules (with a fixed codomain) is finitely complete. other words, construct product, pullback and equalizer objects in racks. We therefore unify group-theoretical analogy completeness property sense functor $\mathbf{Conj \colon Grp \to Rack} $.

This study investigates the effect of supplementing bovine follicular fluids (FF) to rabbit sperm motility, acrosome reaction and transaminases activities. Ovarian FF were collected from 46 pairs of bovine ovaries. Normal follicles were classified, according to their diameters, into small (SFF, ≤4 mm), medium (MFF,>4-8 mm), large (LFF,> 8 mm) and cystic (CSTFF,>20 mm). Rabbit semen was collecte...
