Quakingviable (qk(v)) is a well known dysmyelination mutation. Recently, the genetic lesion of qk(v) has been defined as a deletion 5' to the qkI gene, which results in the severe reduction of the qkI-encoded QKI RNA-binding proteins in myelin-producing cells. However, no comprehensive model has been proposed regarding how the lack of QKI leads to dysmyelination. We hypothesized that QKI binds ...

The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can overcome the complexity network defects and support a sustainable green system. AI has been used in Cognitive Internet Things (CIoT), improving large volume data, minimizing energy consumption, managing traffic, storing data. However, smart packet transmission scheduling (TS) CIoT is dependent on choosing an optimum channel with minimum estima...

We consider a scheduling rule called MBPS, the mean bounded priority scheduling, which prioritizes jobs by an index computed for each job as a weighed sum of the proportion of time it has been processed and the proportion of time it has been waiting for processing. Proof that MBPS is a deteriorating or a delaying jobs single-machine scheduling problems is given. Two expressions of this dynamic ...

Future wireless networks must be able to coordinate services within a diverse network environment. Next generation wireless network is envisioned as a convergence of different wireless access technologies providing the user enhanced connection any where any time to improve the systems resource utilization. In such converged systems, co-existence of heterogeneous access technologies with largely...

Escherichia coli maltose-binding protein (MBP) is frequently used as an affinity tag to facilitate the purification of recombinant proteins. An important additional attribute of MBP is its remarkable ability to enhance the solubility of its fusion partners. MBPs are present in a wide variety of microorganisms including both mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria and archaea. In the present study,...

The next step in the evolution of wireless local area networks (LANs) is an increase in the data rate from the present rates of a few Mbps to tens of Mbps. As a result of the faster rates the normalized delay-spread increases and simple modulation and demodulation has to be augmented by adaptive equalization. This paper investigates the equalizer requirements of a 4-QAM based system operating a...

Recent VLSI hash function designs allow incorporating features such as more complex input expansion schedules, more rounds and bigger states into these functions. As a result, these hash functions are slower and bulkier when compared with previous ones such as MD4, MD5, SHA-1, RIPEMD, etc. An architecture and VLSI implementation of a new hash function called RadioGatún, that achieves high-speed...

IPv4 addresses have been depleted in February 2011, when the IANA allocated the remaining last five /8s IPv4 address blocks to the RIRs. IPv6 has been developed by the IETF as a solution to the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses. In this paper, we present some models to evaluate the performance of IPv4 and IPv6 in Ethernet networks, the most widely-installed local area network technology. Our models ...

Next generation wireless network is envisioned as a convergence of different wireless access technologies providing the user enhanced connection any where any time to improve the systems resource utilization. It is likely that WLAN/HIPERLAN will become an important complementary technology to cellular networks and typically used to provide hotspot coverage where there is a high density of users...

The myelin basic protein (MBP) gene encodes two families of proteins, the classic MBP constituents of myelin and the golli-MBPs, the function of which is less well understood. In this study, targeted ablation of the golli-MBPs, but not the classic MBPs, resulted in a distinct phenotype unlike that of knock-outs (KOs) of the classic MBPs or other myelin proteins. Although the golli KO animals di...
