Broadband application of wireless communication calls for good signal to noise ratio (SNR) and variable high data rates. In the midst of a spate of available techniques, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has proven to be effective. OFDM systems have high tolerance towards multipath effects in fading channels. Wireless communication will become tortuous in the presence of Inter S...

objective: cell vital function has correlation with mechanical loadings that cell experiences. here, effects of in-vitro combined cyclic-static stretch on proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cell (hmsc) were evaluated. materials and methods: hmscs were cultured on gelatin coated elastic membranes, and exposed to stretch loading. four different regimes of cyclic, static, combined cyclic-sta...

The reaction mechanism for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from carbon dioxide and epoxides catalyzed by a zinc pyrrolidine complex has been elucidated using the density functional level of theory. The obtained potential energy surface shows that the recently proposed zinc complex is able to efficiently and selectively catalyze the formation of cyclic carbonate using carbon dioxide. In the p...

The flexible ditopic ligand 3,3'-bipyridine (3,3'-bpy) has been reacted with a series of transition metal species (Ag(+), Hg(2+), cis-a(2)M(2+) (a = NH(3) or a(2) = en; M = Pt, Pd), trans-a(2)Pt(2+) (a = NH(3))) in an attempt to produce discrete cyclic constructs. While Ag(+) gave a polymeric structure {[Ag(3,3'-bpy)](ClO(4)) . H(2)O}(n) (1), with all other metal entities cyclic structures were...

The energetic metabolism of photosynthetic organisms is profoundly influenced by state transitions and cyclic electron flow around photosystem I. The former involve a reversible redistribution of the light-harvesting antenna between photosystem I and photosystem II and optimize light energy utilization in photosynthesis whereas the latter process modulates the photosynthetic yield. We have used...

A cyclic AMP (adenosine 3’, 5’-monophosphate)-dependent protein kinase has been found in membranes derived from human erythrocytes which accounts for greater than 70% of the total cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity of these cells. Components of the erythrocyte membranes were phosphorylated by membrane-bound protein kinase, but stimulation of the rate of phosphorylation by cyclic AMP w...

We introduce in this paper the notions of noncommutative (shortly, NC) CW-complex, noncommutative Serre fibration and show that up to homo-topy, every NC CW-complex algebra morphism is some noncommutative Serre fibration. We then deduce a six-term exact sequence for the periodic cyclic homology and for K-theory of an arbitrary noncommutative Serre fi-bration, or of a morphism in the category of...

We define and study equivariant periodic cyclic homology for locally compact groups. This can be viewed as a noncommutative generalization of equivariant de Rham cohomology. Although the construction resembles the Cuntz-Quillen approach to ordinary cyclic homology, a completely new feature in the equivariant setting is the fact that the basic ingredient in the theory is not a complex in the usu...

Cycloaddition is a fundamental transformation, featuring the assembly of complex cyclic molecules with multiple stereocenters. We report here silver-catalyzed [3+2]-cycloaddition 2,3-disubstituted cyclobutenones an array azomethine ylide...

We prove an instance of the cyclic sieving phenomenon, occurring in the context of noncrossing parititions for well-generated complex reflection groups.
