The cell membrane of the unicellular algae Distigma proteus is associated with arrays of parallel microtubules. Fragments of the membrane-microtubule complex have been isolated and partially purified. The microtubules were stable in vitro at room temperature as well as at 0 degree C, but were specifically and rapidly disassembled by Ca2+. After removal of all endogenous microtubules, the membra...

It is well known that TCP does not fully utilize the available bandwidth in fast long-distance networks. Several high speed transport protocols have been proposed in an effort to solve this scalability problem. This paper proposes S-shaped TCP (SS-TCP). The window growth function of SS-TCP is, in the steady state, S-shaped, and it can be divided into three regions. In region I, the window growt...

In this paper, direct estimate of Sobolev exponent of reenable distributions and its application to the asymptotic estimate of Sobolev exponent of M band Daubechies' scaling functions are considered.

Mormyrogyrodactylus gemini gen. et sp. n. (Gyrodactylidea: Gyrodactylidae), a viviparous monogenean is described from the skin and fins of Marcusenius macrolepidotus (Peters) from South Africa. This new genus is unique in having a large cup-shaped cirrus armed with one large needle-like spine and numerous small hair-like spinelets. A peduncular bar is present. The haptor is clearly demarcated f...

A novel microstrip antenna for triple-band WLAN/WiMAX applications is presented. Based on a face-shaped slot, the antenna consists of a pair of symmetrical eye-like patches, a smilingmouth-shaped feeding line and a rectangular stub that looks like the fringe. The resonant mode at 3.5GHz is excited by the basic radiation patch with the face-shaped slot. By adding a rectangular fringe-shaped stub...

Manuscript Received 4-June-2012 and revised 18-September-2012 ISSN: 2322-3936 Accepted on 1December-2012 Abstract—This paper presents a new approach for the design of a multiband uniplanar CPW-fed monopole antenna. The antenna consists of a fork like monopole strip to which is added an inverted U-shaped strip. The three branch fork like strip can create three resonant bands within the WLAN rang...

When economists first turned to applied benefit-cost analysis in the 1930s and 1940s, prices were the only widely accepted measure of benefits. Perhaps surprisingly, economists did not consider measures like consumer surplus, which seemed quite foreign. Consequently, when they turned to nonmarket valuation for goods like outdoor recreation, their constructed demand curves seemed less informativ...

We report a female Crlj:CD1(ICR) mouse with a spontaneous mammary gland tumor composed of biphasic tumor cells, i.e., epithelioid and spindle-shaped myoepithelial cells. Macroscopically, a subcutaneous mass, approximately 3 cm in diameter was found in the lumbodorsal region. Histopathologically, the epithelioid cells proliferated in an alveolar or nest-like growth pattern, occasionally forming ...

This paper presents the time complexity of two algorithms that update space-filling curves of adaptively refined domains. The Modified Hilbert (space-filling) Curve was proposed to traverse square-shaped adaptive-refined meshes. Whereas, the Sierpiński-like (space-filling) Curve was proposed in order to traverse triangular-shaped adaptive-refined meshes. Those curves are variations of the names...
