We have recently described a modification of the long-term culture-initiating cell (LTC-IC) assay that allows the identification and quantitation of a subset of murine LTC-IC that are able to generate both myeloid and lymphoid progeny in vitro. These "LTC-ICML" are inseparable from either standard LTC-IC or cells with long-term in vivo lympho-myeloid repopulating potential (competitive repopula...

Grand Cru, a candidate cipher algorithm of NESSIE project, is based on the strategy of multiple layered security and derived from AES-128. This algorithm was not selected for second phase evaluation of NESSIE project due to implementation and processing cost. In this paper we present relatively a fast implementation of the cipher using Texas Instrument’s DSP C64x+.

Triggered release of Ca2+ from an individual sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release unit (CRU) is the fundamental event of cardiac excitation–contraction coupling, and spontaneous release events (sparks) are the major contributor to diastolic Ca(2+) leak in cardiomyocytes. Previous model studies have predicted that the duration and magnitude of the spark is determined by the local CRU geome...

Controlled-release urea (CRU) and normal have been shown to improve yield nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rice. However, the effects of combined fertilizers (CRU urea, at different N ratios) on rice yield, temperature solar radiation utilization (TSRUE) NUEs remain unclear. In this study, CRU with release periods 60 days 100 were mixed ratios 7:3, 6:4, 5:5, 4:6 3:7 applied during rice-growing ...

Muscle contraction requires ATP and Ca(2+) and, thus, is under direct control of mitochondria and the sarcoplasmic reticulum. During postnatal skeletal muscle maturation, the mitochondrial network exhibits a shift from a longitudinal ("longitudinal mitochondria") to a mostly transversal orientation as a result of a progressive increase in mitochondrial association with Ca(2+) release units (CRU...

To identify the general pattern of impact application mixed controlled-release urea (CRU) with (C-U) on grain yield, plant characteristics, NUE and soil nitrogen contents in wheat–maize production, a 5-year field trial three release longevity four ratios CRU C-U common alone (U) was carried out North China Plain. Results meta-analysis revealed that had significant effects yield NO3−-N productio...

As from the run 3 of CERN LHC scheduled in 2022, upgraded ALICE experiment will use a Common Readout Unit (CRU) at heart data acquisition system. The CRU, based on PCIe40 hardware designed for LHCb, is common interface between main sub-systems: front-end, computing system, and trigger timing 475 CRUs 10 different sub-detectors reduce total throughput 3.5 TB/s to 635 GB/s. firmware framework sup...
