This poem describes a riverine flood that occurred on Salt Creek (the Little Des Plaines River), Brookfield, Cook County, Illinois (4th congressional district), US, as part of extensive regional flooding in the Chicago area April 18-19, 2013. Both case report and epic, this hyperlocal work is post-postmodern (metamodern) baroque exploration human systems sense-making revealed through natural di...

Objective(s): Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloid clonal proliferation disease defining by the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome that shows the movement of BCR-ABL1. In this study, the critical role of the Musashi2-Numb axis in determining cell fate and relationship of the axis to important signaling pathways such as Hedgehog and Notch that are essential ...

The generation of noradrenergic sympathetic neurons is controlled by BMPs and the downstream transcription factors Mash1, Phox2b, Phox2a and dHand. We examined the role of these signals in developing cholinergic parasympathetic neurons. The expression of Mash1 (Cash1), Phox2b and Phox2a in the chick ciliary ganglion is followed by the sequential expression of panneuronal, noradrenergic and chol...

This paper describes a controller for allocating shared bandwidth and a scheduler for transmitting IP traffic from the Gateway to the Users’ Terminals of the satellite network studied in SATIP6 IST project. The paper describes the algorithms employed in the MAC controller in terms of various components of a classical control system and a fuzzy tuning component. The focus of this work is on the ...

Using backstepping design, exponential stabilization of the linearized Saint-Venant–Exner (SVE) model of water dynamics in a sediment-filled canal with arbitrary values of canal bottom slope, friction, porosity, andwater–sediment interaction, is achieved. The linearized SVEmodel consists of two rightward convecting transport Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and one leftward convecting tran...
