Single-Setup-Multiple-Deliveries for a Single Supplier-Single Buyer with Single Product and Backorder
This article investigates integrated production-inventory models with backorder. A single supplier and a single buyer are considered and shortage as backorder is allowed for the buyer. The proposed models determine optimal order quantity, optimal backorder quantity and optimal number of deliveries on the joint total cost for both buyer and supplier. Two cases are discussed: single-setup-singl...
متن کاملA human mutation in Gabrg2 associated with generalized epilepsy alters the membrane dynamics of GABAA receptors.
Neuronal activity modulates the membrane diffusion of postsynaptic γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)(A) receptors (GABA(A)Rs), thereby regulating the efficacy of GABAergic synapses. The K289M mutation in GABA(A)Rs subunit γ2 has been associated with the generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) syndrome. This mutation accelerates receptor deactivation and therefore reduces inhibitory syn...
متن کاملMultiple mechanisms account for genomic instability and molecular mutation in neoplastic transformation.
Neoplastic cells typically possess numerous genomic mutations and chromosomal aberrations, including point mutations, gene amplifications and deletions, and replication errors. Acquisition of such genomic instability may represent an early step in the process of carcinogenesis. Proteins involved in DNA replication, DNA repair, cell cycle progression, and others are all components of complex ove...
متن کاملA GABAA Receptor Mutation Linked to Human Epilepsy ( 2R43Q) Impairs Cell Surface Expression of Receptors*
A mutation in the 2 subunit of the -aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptor (GABAR), which changes an arginine to a glutamine at position 43 (R43Q), is linked to familial idiopathic epilepsies. We used radioligand binding, immunoblotting, and immunofluorescence techniques to examine the properties of wild-type 1 2 2 and mutant 1 2 2R43Q GABARs expressed in HEK 293 cells. The 2R43Q mutation had...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of antiseizure drug activity at GABAA receptors
The GABAA receptor (GABAAR) is a major target of antiseizure drugs (ASDs). A variety of agents that act at GABAARs s are used to terminate or prevent seizures. Many act at distinct receptor sites determined by the subunit composition of the holoreceptor. For the benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and loreclezole, actions at the GABAAR are the primary or only known mechanism of antiseizure action. F...
