The progress of nanotechnology is paving the way to the emerging concept of wireless nanosensor network (WNSN). In fact, it is now possible to create integrated machines at the nano scale, which interact on cooperative basis using wireless communications. The research in this field is still in an embryonal stage and the design of the WNSN protocol suite represents a fundamental issue to address...

Sim-ACTS is an agent-based computer simulation model of some aspects of ACTS theory 5]. It is the rst of a series of models in which increasingly more aspects of ACTS theory will be encompassed. Sim-ACTS studies the eeects of communication and organizational structure on organizational problem solving. It is a follow-up study of the TASSCS research project 15],,16]. The simulation experiments f...

Statins are the most commonly prescribed drugs in the United States and are extremely effective in reducing major cardiovascular events in the millions of Americans with hyperlipidemia. However, many patients (up to 25%) cannot tolerate or discontinue statin therapy due to statin-induced myopathy (SIM). Patients will continue to experience SIM at unacceptably high rates or experience unnecessar...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract The hydrometeorological model SAFRAN-ISBA-MODCOU (SIM) computes water and energy budgets on the land surface and riverflows and the level of several aquifers at the scale of France. SIM is composed of a meteorological analysis system (SAFR...

Mutations in the single-minded (sim) gene of Drosophila result in the loss of the precursor cells giving rise to the midline cells of the embryonic central nervous system. We have examined the structure of the sim product by sequencing a sim cDNA clone, and have also determined the subcellular localization of the protein and its developmental expression by staining embryos with an antiserum aga...

‎Let $G$ be a non-abelian group and let $Gamma(G)$ be the non-commuting graph of $G$‎. ‎In this paper we define an equivalence relation $sim$ on the set of $V(Gamma(G))=Gsetminus Z(G)$ by taking $xsim y$ if and only if $N(x)=N(y)$‎, ‎where $ N(x)={uin G | x textrm{ and } u textrm{ are adjacent in }Gamma(G)}$ is the open neighborhood of $x$ in $Gamma(G)$‎. ‎We introduce a new graph determined ...

Development of the Drosophila CNS midline cells is dependent upon the function of the single-minded (sim) gene. Sequence analysis shows that sim is a member of the basic-helix-loop-helix class of transcription factors. Cell fate experiments establish that sim is required for early events in midline cell development, including a synchronized cell division, proper formation of nerve cell precurso...

We have investigated the roles of the single-minded (sim) and rhomboid (rho) genes in generating distinct cell fates in the Drosophila embryonic neuroectoderm. We show that sim functions to repress ventral ectodermal cell fates, as in sim mutants mesectodermal cells adopt the fates of neighboring ventral ectodermal cells and targeted sim expression in P[paired.Gal4]/P[UAS-sim] embryos results i...
