Realizing the significance of customer buying behavior in today’s market scenario it is very appropriate to analyze the drivers that trigger the purchasing decision. This research paper identifies and analyses certain critical drivers of mobile phone purchasing decisions and explaining their relevance. Empirical research was conducted in this study through an image-based survey amongst college ...

Spatial information grid (SIG) is a spatial information infrastructure that has the capability of providing services on-demand. In this paper, agent technology is adopted to construct a SIG framework, which contains three layers: users/applications layer, agent services layer and information layer. Different applications can get their spatial information via agent services, and agent services m...

Sequential immunological and cytokinetic studies were done on individual lymphoid cells in the peripheral blood of 10 children with previously untreated acute lymphoid leukemia (8 non-T--non-B, 1 T, and 1 B-ALL) and on lymphoid bone marrow cells (4 non-T--non-B ALL). The results obtained suggest that some, but not all, of the children considered to have non-T--non-B ALL had proliferating leukem...

Spatial Information Grid (SIG) is a project of applying grid technology to share and integrate spatial data resources, information processing resources, equipment resources, and knowledge resources. SIG computing environment aims to apply the concept of SIG to share hybrid computing resources for processing remote sensing (RS) images. RS image processing is a data-intensive computing problem, a...

Elevated tau expression has been proposed as a possible basis for impaired axonal transport in Alzheimer's disease. To address this hypothesis, we analyzed the movement of pulse radiolabeled proteins in vivo along retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons of mice that lack tau or overexpress human tau isoforms. Here, we show that the global axonal transport rates of slow and fast transport cargoes in a...

During the last nine years, two important methodologies have been used to characterize the cell surfaces of normal lymphocytes and malignant lymphoblasts. Normal mature T-cells have a receptor for sheep erythrocyte (E+) while mature B-cells bear membrane-bound immunoglobulin molecules (sIg+). These two findings can be used to divide acute lymphoblastic leukemia of childhood into three major gro...

Paclitaxel (Px) is an effective chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of various cancers. However, it is often associated with neurological side effects, including chemotherapy-associated cognitive impairment (CACI), such as "chemobrain". Previously, we reported that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is involved in Px-induced neurotoxicity, and immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (BiP...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Using data from Oxfordshire, UK, we recently showed that women are more likely than men to have a family history of stroke in female versus male first degree relatives. To test the generalizability of this finding, we did a comprehensive systematic review of all available published and unpublished data. METHODS Studies were included in the present review if they reporte...
