Interaction of cancer cells with stroma cells facilitates tumor progression by rebuilding the existing extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment. In the tumor, upregulation of Tenascin-C (Tn-C) expression potentially can alter tumor behavior. However, the molecular mechanisms by which tumor-stroma interactions affect the tumor microenvironment have not been well characterized. In this study, ...

Iron plays an essential role in many biological processes, but also catalyzes the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause molecular damage. Iron homeostasis is therefore a critical determinant of fitness. In Caenorhabditis elegans, insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) promotes growth and reproduction but limits stress resistance and lifespan through inactivation of the DAF-16/FoxO ...

the postural control system is a complex motor system which is formed basedon an interaction of different dynamic processes and many laboratory techniquesrecognize performance disorders using a wide range of neurological signs andsymptoms. the present research aimed to assess the reliability of commonly usedclinical measures of balance and to investigate the effect of age, height, weight andbmi...

In Caenorhabditis elegans, the six proteins that make up the REF-1 family have been identified as functional homologs of the Hairy/Enhancer of Split (HES) proteins. These transcription factors act in both Notch dependent and Notch-independent pathways to regulate embryonic events during development; however, their post-embryonic functions are not well defined. As a first step toward understandi...

Faster-than-Nyquist signaling (FTNS) has emerged as a promising technique to increase communication capacity in bandwidth-limited channels. However, the presence of FTN-induced inter-symbol interference (FTN-ISI) received observations, is detrimental channel estimation (CE) and data detection terms computational complexity performance. This paper copes with these problems by incorporating linea...

In this paper, we investigate the advantages of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling under a fixed utilized bandwidth and multipath fading channels. We present derivations input-output relationships for MIMO-FTN systems decompose MIMO transmission scheme into spatial spectral precoding procedures. An approximated frequency-domain equalizer (FDE) is introduce...

Fast and reliable data transmission together with high bandwidth efficiency are important design aspects in a modern digital communication system. Many different approaches exist but in this thesis bandwidth efficiency is obtained by increasing the data transmission rate with the faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) framework while keeping a fixed power spectral density (PSD). In FTN consecutive informati...

Strains. Wild type C. elegans (strain N2) were obtained from the Caenorhabditis Genetics Center (University of Minnesota), and ftn-2(ok404) and the ferritin null ftn-2(ok404); ftn-1(ok3625) (strain GMC005) have been previously described1. All strains were cultured at 20 °C on standard nematode growth media (NGM) with E. coli (strain OP50)2. Populations were developmentally synchronized via a 3 ...

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects for defining, configuring, and monitoring Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) to Next Hop Label Forwarding Entry (NHLFE) mappings and corresponding actions for use with Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).

—Next-generation wireless and/or satellite communications require high transmission efficiency and high reliability to provide various services with subscribers. To satisfied these requirements, incorporated MIMO (multipleinput-multiple-output) system with FTN (faster-than-Nyquist) techniques are considered in the paper. To improve performance and throughput, two kinds of MIMO turbo equalizati...
