BACKGROUND Psychological stress induces rapid and long-lasting changes in blood cell composition, implying the existence of stress-induced factors that modulate hematopoiesis. Here we report the involvement of the stress-associated "readthrough" acetylcholinesterase (AChE-R) variant, and its 26 amino acid C-terminal domain (ARP) in hematopoietic stress responses. MATERIALS AND METHODS We stud...

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used by computers to map network addresses (IP) to physical addresses (MAC). The protocol has proved to work well under regular circumstances, but it was not designed to cope with malicious hosts. By performing ARP storming attacks, an intruder can create Denial of Service (DoS) in another host and prevent it’s functioning or just cause network slowdowns...

A 37-kDa protein from Borrelia burgdorferi (the agent of Lyme disease) was identified as a target for immune-mediated resolution of Lyme arthritis. Studies in a mouse model have shown that arthritis resolution can be mediated by antibodies (against unknown target antigens) within immune sera from actively infected mice. Immune sera from infected mice were therefore used to screen a B. burgdorfe...

The development of a fluid cell with an acoustic radiation pressure ARP actuator for atomic force microscopy AFM is reported. The ARP actuator uses a zinc oxide thin film transducer fabricated on a silicon substrate to generate acoustic waves in the 120–180 MHz range. These waves are coupled to the liquid and are reflected off of the AFM cantilever exerting radiation pressure to move the AFM ca...

We focus on the problem how to achieve network lifetime extension without causing serious deteriorated on network performance. A cooperative E-ARP protocol for extending network lifetime in wireless AD Hoc networks is proposed in our paper. By means of piggyback, energy information exchanges among neighbors in our scheme, which makes a little modification to traditional ARP protocol. E-ARP prot...

Concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the main treatment for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Acute Radiation Pneumonitis (ARP) is one of the most important complications of radiotherapy for lung cancer and is difficult to treat and causes high mortality rates. In this study, we reported a patient with grade IV ARP who underwent 2 months of radiotherapy. This patient showed si...

The 8–13 µm Spectrum of Arp 299C Abstract Arp 299C is a 5 × 10 10 L ⊙ infrared source in the merging galaxy system Arp 299. It is the most luminous object known that is not obviously associated with a galaxy nucleus. Our data show that the 8–13 µm spectrum of Arp 299C has a strong [Ne II] emission line and emission features like those of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules. These em...

An improved feed forward adaptive Active Noise Control (ANC) scheme is proposed by using Voice Activity Detector (VAD) and wiener filtering method. The ‘speech-plus-noise’ periods and ‘noise-only’ periods are separated using VAD and the unwanted noise is removed by adaptive filtering method. By using Speech Distortion WeightedMultichannel Wiener Filtering (SDW-MWF) algorithm the noise periods w...
