The content and activity of Suc (Suc) synthase (SUS) protein is high in sink organs but low in source organs. In this report, we examined light and metabolic signals regulating SUS protein degradation in maize (Zea mays) leaves during deetiolation. We found that SUS protein accumulated in etiolated leaves of the dark-grown seedlings but was rapidly degraded upon exposure to white, blue, or red ...

Recently, a new paradigm for cognitive radio networks has been advocated, where primary users (PUs) recruit the secondary users (SUs) to cooperatively relay the primary traffic, and in return grant the SUs the right to access the channel. However, all existing work on such cooperative cognitive radio networks (CCRNs) operate in the temporal domain only, which limits the performance of both PUs ...

BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is an option for sustained weight loss for the morbidly obese patient. In Brazil coexists the Unified Health System (SUS) with universal coverage and from which depend 150 million Brazilians and supplemental health security, predominantly private, with 50 million beneficiaries. AIM To compare access, in-hospital mortality, length of stay and costs for patients und...

BACKGROUND A core objective of the Society of University Surgeons (SUS) is research focused: to "advance the art and science of surgery through original investigation." This study sought to determine the current impact of the SUS on academic surgical productivity. METHODS Individual faculty data for numbers of publications, citations, and National Institute of Health (NIH) funding history wer...

Cognitive radio (CR) increases spectrum efficiency by allowing secondary users (SUs) to dynamically use the idle spectrum owned by primary users (PUs). This paper studies bandwidth allocation of SUs for throughput efficiency. Taking on consideration a scenario of five nodes on which two of them are Primary Users(PUs) and the other three are secondary users (SUs).What amount of bandwidth should ...

We study two important aspects to make dynamic spectrum access work in practice: the admission policy of secondary users (SUs) to achieve a certain degree of quality of service and the management of the interference caused by SUs to primary users (PUs). In order to limit the forced termination probability of SUs, we evaluate the Fractional Guard Channel reservation scheme to give priority to sp...

Background: The ACSL A/G single nucleotide polymorphism is associated with endurance trainability. It was previously demonstrated that AA carriers had a reduced maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) in response to training compared GG carriers, and this explained 6.1% of the variance VO2 max training. aim present study determine prevalence among soccer players. Methods: One hundred sixty-seven m...

Cognitive radio (CR) has become a tempting technology that achieves significant improvement in spectrum utilization. To resolve the hidden terminal problem, collaborative spectrum sensing (CSS), which profits from spatial diversity, has been studied intensively in recent years. As CSS is vulnerable to the attacks launched by malicious secondary users (SUs), certain CSS security schemes based on...

INTRODUCTION In Malaysia, majority of diabetes mellitus cases are type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This is a direct extension from the fact that in 1997, 97 % of all cases of diabetes mellitus are T2DM 1. The oral drugs used for the treatment of T2DM are known as oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs). The most frequently prescribed OHAs are SUs. In the Malaysian Statistics on Medicine 2004, SUs makes...
