In Wireless Sensor Networks, recent studies reveal mobility of the sink nodes as a solution for collecting the data from the sensor nodes. The mobile element acts as a mechanical carrier for collecting the data from the sensor nodes. Each sensor node is assigned a buffer for accumulating the sensed data and data loss occurs if the buffer overflows. Therefore, scheduling the mobile element such ...

The P family of transposable elements in Drosophila transpose by a cut-and-paste mechanism involving double-strand gap repair. We report here that a Drosophila mutagen-sensitive mutant, mus3O9, contains a mutation in IRBP (inverted repeat binding protein), the Drosophila homolog of the mammalian Ku p70 gene. We show that the repair of double-strand DNA breaks after P-element excision is severel...

The P, hobo, Hermes, Minos and mariner transposable elements have been successfully used as gene vectors to achieve genetic transformation of Drosophila melanogaster. The hobo transposable element of D. melanogaster, a member of the hAT family of transposable elements, can also transpose in other dipteran species including the house fly Musca domestica and the Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera t...

In this paper, we present an innovative approach to solving the mobility management problem in the context of professional private broadband networks in the vehicular scenario. These heterogeneous communication networks are commonly deployed and managed by mission-critical organisations with the aim of supporting their specific and highly demanding services. Taking advantage of the specific cha...

In recent years, the development and deployment of new wired and wireless access network technologies have made the ubiquitous Internet a reality. Users can access anywhere and anytime to the broad set of value-added Internet services, which are delivered by means of the IP protocol. In this context, 3GPP is currently developing the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), as a key element that allows to...

Changes in domain wall mobility, caused by the presence of antinotches in single crystal BaTiO(3) nanowires, have been investigated. While antinotches appeared to cause a slight broadening in the distribution of switching events, observed as a function of applied electric field (inferred from capacitance-voltage measurements), the effect was often subtle. Greater clarity of information was obta...

the mobility of entrepreneurs, which is an integral part of human life, can occur in all aspects of occupation and location. finding out the general trends of mobility in entrepreneurship can be used in the effective motivational activities. as sylhet is a remittance and raw materials rich but industrially backward area, the mobility of entrepreneurship in both aspects in this area is to be ana...

In this work, silicon-germanium (SiGe) thin films are epitaxially grown on Ge substrates by ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition and then doped with Mn element ion-implantation subsequent rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The characterizations show that the epitaxial SiGe single-crystalline uniform tensile strain become polycrystalline after ion implantation following RTA. magnetization mea...

We previously showed that quercetin expresses its antiatherogenic effects by up-regulating paraoxonase 1 (PON1) gene and high-density lipoprotein's protective capacity against low-density lipoprotein oxidation. In an attempt to elucidate the mechanism of action of quercetin, we have now determined the effects of quercetin on PON1 gene expression, activity, protein level, nuclear mature sterol r...
