Chemical synapses transmit gustatory signals from taste receptor cells to sensory afferent axons. Chemical (and electrical) synapses also provide a lateral pathway for cells within the taste bud to communicate. Lateral synaptic pathways may represent some form of signal processing in the peripheral end organs of taste. Efferent synaptic input may also regulate sensory transduction in taste buds...

For directly linking the dynamical reference frame of satellite orbits to quasi-inertial extra-galactic radio sources, observations satellites with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique are only conceivable method. Hence, should be embedded in VLBI network sessions during which also natural sources observed. this reason, it would most practical if artificial signal generated at for...

Most neurons release a single fast-acting low-molecular-weight transmitter at synapses to activate and open postsynaptic ion channels. We challenge this principle with evidence for corelease of the two major excitatory transmitters, glutamate and acetylcholine (ACh), from single identified neurons in the developing frog tadpole spinal cord. Whole-cell patch electrodes were used to record from s...

[1] The MF data recorded by the low-altitude satellite DEMETER have been used to survey the MF waves around the Earth. A global map of the MF emissions indicates that there exists a wave activity in the frequency range 2–2.5 MHz above the main powerful VLF ground-based transmitters operating in the frequency range 18–50 kHz. It is shown that this is due to the high-frequency part of whistlers i...

The relative location of simultaneous transmitters, i.e. the set of nodes transmitting a frame at a given time, has a crucial impact on the performance of multi hop wireless networks. Two fundamental aspects of wireless network performances are related to these locations: capacity and interference. Indeed, as interference results from the summation of signals stemmed by concurrent transmitters,...

Information-theoretic secrecy is combined with cryptographic secrecy to create a secret-key exchange protocol for wireless networks. A network of transmitters, which already have cryptographically secured channels between them, cooperate to exchange a secret key with a new receiver at a random location, in the presence of passive eavesdroppers at unknown locations. Two spatial point processes, ...
