Adaptive blind equalization has gained widespread use in communication systems that operate without training signals. In particular, the Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) has become a favorite of practitioners due to its LMS-like complexity and desirable robustness properties. The desire for further reduction in computational complexity has motivated signed-error versions of CMA, which have been...

Coronamic acid (CMA; 2-ethyl-1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylic acid) is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of coronatine (COR), a chlorosis-inducing phytotoxin produced by Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea PG4180. Tn5 mutagenesis and substrate feeding studies were previously used to characterize regions of the COR biosynthetic gene cluster required for synthesis of coronafacic acid and CMA, whi...

BACKGROUND Chromosome microarray (CMA) testing allows automatic and easy identification of large chromosomal abnormalities detectable by conventional cytogenetics as well as the detection of submicroscopic chromosomal imbalances. METHODS A PubMed search was performed in order to review the current use of CMA testing in the field of human reproduction. Articles discussing the use of CMA in the...

Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a mechanism for degradation of cytosolic proteins in lysosomes, is one of the most selective types of autophagy in mammals [1]. Identification and degradation of single proteins via CMA allows precise remodeling of the cellular proteome and removal of altered proteins. These characteristics explain the contribution of CMA to the cellular response to stress, i...

Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a selective pathway for the degradation of cytosolic proteins in lysosomes. CMA declines with age because of a decrease in the levels of lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP) type 2A, a lysosomal receptor for this pathway. We have selectively blocked the expression of LAMP-2A in mouse fibroblasts in culture and analyzed the cellular consequences of re...

Adaptive blind equalization has gained widespread use in communication receivers that operate without training signals. In particular, the Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) 6, 10] has become a favorite of practitioners due to its LMS-like complexity and desirable robustness properties 4, 5, 14]. This paper presents a signed-error version of CMA (SE-CMA) which is motivated by a further reduction ...

PURPOSE To investigate the clinical efficacy of low-dose chlormadinone acetate (CMA) in prostate cancer patients who suffer from hot flushes that is a major side effect of androgen deprivation therapy. METHODS Our study included 32 prostate cancer patients who had severe hot flush after undergoing hormone therapy for more than 3 months. The average age of the patients was 72.5 years. In the b...
