43 Preliminary proteomics studies (actual data is not given here) between tonic vs. phasic smooth 44 muscles identified three distinct protein spots identified to be those of SM22. The latter was 45 found to be distinctly down regulated in the internal anal sphincter (IAS) vs. rectal smooth 46 muscle (RSM) SMC. The major focus of the present studies was to examine the differential 47 molecular ...

Preliminary proteomics studies between tonic vs. phasic smooth muscles identified three distinct protein spots identified to be those of transgelin (SM22). The latter was found to be distinctly downregulated in the internal anal sphincter (IAS) vs. rectal smooth muscle (RSM) SMC. The major focus of the present studies was to examine the differential molecular control mechanisms by SM22 in the f...

This paper proposes Clock-RSM, a new state machine replication protocol that uses loosely synchronized physical clocks to totally order commands for geo-replicated services. Clock-RSM assumes realistic non-uniform latencies among replicas located at different data centers. It provides low-latency linearizable replication by overlapping 1) logging a command at a majority of replicas, 2) determin...

The resource space model (RSM) is a semantic data model based on orthogonal classification semantics for efficiently managing various resources in the future interconnection environment. This paper extends the RSM in theory by formalizing the resource space, investigating its characteristics from the perspective of set theory, defining the resource space schema and developing its normal forms. ...

A resource space model (RSM) is a model for specifying, sharing and managing versatile Web resources with a universal resource view. A normal resource space is a semantic coordinate system with independent coordinates and mutual-orthogonal axes. This paper first introduces the main viewpoint and basic content of the RSM, and then proposes a four-step method for designing the logical-level resou...

When information sequences are embedded into radar waveforms by means of coding diversity, the resulting radar emissions then change on a pulse-to-pulse basis during a coherent processing interval (CPI). As such, pulse compression of these different waveforms leads to different sidelobe structures, giving rise to range sidelobe modulation (RSM) of the clutter. The presence of RSM induces a part...

Response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized to investigate the influence of the main emulsion composition; mixture of palm and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil (6%-12% w/w), lecithin (1%-3% w/w), and Cremophor EL (0.5%-1.5% w/w) as well as the preparation method; addition rate (2-20 mL/min), on the physicochemical properties of palm-based nanoemulsions. The response variables were the th...

In the present study, simulation of a divided wall column (DWC) was carried out to study the product quality and energy efficiency as a function of reflux rate, liquid spilt and vapour split for the separation of C4-C6 normal paraffin ternary mixture. Rigorous simulation of the DWC was carried out using Multifrac model of Aspen Plus software. Box–Behnken design (BBD) was used for the optimizati...

The wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) experiments has been conducted using air and water mixture as a dielectric medium, is called environmental friendly near dry WEDM. In this technology, the dielectric fluid (Deionized water) is replaced by liquid-air to minimize the environmental impact in the machining zone and operator health. The effect of discharge current (I), Pulse width (TON)...

Microencapsulations of Lactobacillus acidophilus in xanthan-chitosan (XC) and xanthan-chitosan-xanthan (XCX) polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) gels were prepared in this study. The process of encapsulation was optimized with the aid of response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum condition was chitosan of 0.68%, xanthan of 0.76%, xanthan-L. acidophilus mixture (XLM)/chitosan of 1:2.56 correspond...
