Getting to the inner circle ontiguity between the ER and the nuclear envelope means nuclear membrane proteins have a direct shot to their target. In fact, inner nuclear membrane (INM) proteins were thought to need only to diffuse to the nucleus, pass through the nuclear pore, and then be retained by nuclear-localized binding partners. But new results suggest a more active process. Suraj Saksena...

The task of network management is becoming increasingly complex due to the increasing number of networked computers running different operating systems and speaking various network protocols. Most of network monitoring and diagnostic tools such as ping and traceroute are suitable just for tackling simple connectivity problems. Complex network problems often need to be addressed using rather exp...

—Over low bit rate channels, we adopt the streaming of nonlinearly sampled video frames (i.e., key-frame slideshow) synchronized with the audio stream. Given the channel and buffer limits, we wish to obtain a set of sampled frames that is not only feasible (i.e., no frame drop) but also optimal in terms of maximal information flow (given that the semantic information contents of each frame can ...

To understand the success strategies of transposable elements (TEs) that attain high copy numbers, we analyzed two pairs of rice (Oryza sativa) strains, EG4/HEG4 and A119/A123, undergoing decades of rapid amplification (bursts) of the class 2 autonomous Ping element and the nonautonomous miniature inverted repeat transposable element (MITE) mPing Comparative analyses of whole-genome sequences o...

piRNAs guide PIWI proteins to silence transposons in animal germ cells. In Drosophila, the heterochromatic piRNA clusters transcribe piRNA precursors to be transported into nuage, a perinuclear structure for piRNA production and transposon silencing. At nuage, reciprocal cycles of piRNA-directed RNA cleavage—catalyzed by the PIWI proteins Aubergine (Aub) and Argonaute3 (Ago3) in Drosophila—dest...

Memory bandwidth is frequently a limiting factor in the design of high-speed switches and routers. In this paper, we introduce a buffering scheme called ping-pong buffering, that increases memory bandwidth by a factor of two. Ping-pong buffering halves the number of memory operations per unit time, allowing faster buffers to be built from a given type of memory. Alternatively, for a buffer of g...

OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the association of smoking status as a risk factor for reduced initiation and duration of breastfeeding. METHODS: The Missouri Pregnancy Related Assessment and Monitoring System collected a stratified sample of new mothers in 2005. Surveys were mailed, with telephone follow-up, and completed within 2 to 12 months after delivery. Respondents were classified as n...
