In this work, a three-node, two-way relaying network (TWRN) over a multi-carrier system is considered. The aim is to minimize total energy usage of such a multi-carrier TWRN with the constraint of rate requirements on both sides, with both the transmit energy usage as well as the receive energy usage into account. For comparison, two strategies including digital network coding (DNC) and physica...

We have isolated cDNAs for four human genes (DPDE1 through DPDE4) closely related to the dnc learning and memory locus of Drosophila melanogaster. The deduced amino acid sequences of the Drosophila and human proteins have considerable homology, extending beyond the putative catalytic region to include two novel, highly conserved, upstream conserved regions (UCR1 and UCR2). The upstream conserve...

Several mutations in Drosophila impair learning and the cAMP cascade. We report here that the fine morphology of an identified mechanosensory neuron is abnormal in two of these mutants, dunce (dnc) and rutabaga (rut). The neuron innervating the antero-notopleural bristle was filled with horseradish peroxidase and studied at the light- and electron-microscopy level. In the mutants dnc and rut, t...

Objective: To study dynamical changes in the functional state of nose patients with nasal deformity (ND) combination diseases cavity (DNC) and paranasal sinuses (PNS) before after single-step surgical treatment. Methods: The was studied 184 ND DNC PS aged 16 to 45 years. were divided into two groups 92 people each. Group 1 consisted septum (NSD) combined DNC, group 2 NSD PNS. included rhinoscop...

Data breaches. This is well-illustrated by the constant occurrence of data breaches. In 2016, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was hacked and in July Wikileaks published 19, 252 emails and 8, 034 attachments from the DNC. This led to the resignation of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz [18]. Recently, 191M voter records were leaked online including voter names, addresses and party affil...

The survival of young children with sickle cell disease (SCD) has improved, but less is known about older children and adolescents. We studied the Dallas Newborn Cohort (DNC) to estimate contemporary 18-year survival for newborns with SCD and document changes in the causes and ages of death over time. We also explored whether improvements in the quality of medical care were temporally associate...

Dual Nonlinear Correlation (DNC) is a general operation in optical pattern recognition where the nonlinear pre-processing introduced in the reference channel may differ from that introduced in the input channel. It involves a number of popular linear and nonlinear filtering methods and can be implemented by an optoelectronic two-step joint transform correlator (JTC). The eventual capabilities o...

Abstract We have conducted the first extensive observational survey of several deuterated species in 16 Class 0/I proto-brown dwarfs (proto-BDs) and 4 Flat/Class II brown dwarfs. Observations were obtained with IRAM 30m telescope DCO+ (3-2), DCN DNC N2D+ (3-2) lines. The DCO+/H13CO+, DCN/H13CN, DNC/HN13C ratios are comparatively higher show a narrower range than DCO+/HCO+, DCN/HCN, DNC/HNC rati...

Given the role that sleep plays in modulating plasticity, we hypothesized that increasing sleep would restore memory to canonical memory mutants without specifically rescuing the causal molecular lesion. Sleep was increased using three independent strategies: activating the dorsal fan-shaped body, increasing the expression of Fatty acid binding protein (dFabp), or by administering the GABA-A ag...

In the last decade, niche construction has been heralded as the neglected process in evolution. But niche construction is just one way in which the organism's interaction with and construction of the environment can have potential evolutionary significance. The constructed environment does not just select for, it also produces new variation. Nearly 3 decades ago, and in parallel with Odling-Sme...
