Background:Despite some successful dynamic simulation of self-impact double pendulum (SIDP)-as humanoid robots legs or arms- studies, there is limited information available about the control of one leg locomotion.Objective :The main goal of this research is to improve the reliability of the mammalians leg locomotion and building more elaborated models close to the natural movements, by modelin...

Due to the increasing use of wireless communications, infrastructure-less networks such as Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) should be highly considered. DTN is most suitable where there is an intermittent connection between communicating nodes such as wireless mobile ad hoc network nodes. In general, a message sending node in DTN copies the message and transmits it to nodes which it encounters. A...

Desmosomes are not formed in epithelial cell cultures growing in media with low (less than or equal to 0.1 mM) concentrations of Ca2+ (LCM) but appear rapidly upon shift to media of normal calcium concentrations (NCM). Previous authors using immunolocalization of desmoplakin, a marker protein for the desmosomal plaque, in LCM-grown cells have interpreted positively stained, dense, cytoplasmic a...

Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is a technique by which individual cells can be harvested from tissue sections while they are viewed under the microscope, by tacking selected cells to an adhesive film with a laser beam. Harvested cells can provide DNA, RNA, and protein for the profiling of genomic characteristics, gene expression, and protein spectra from individual cell types. We have opti...

Throughout this note, let N denote the set of nonnegative integers. Define N∗ := N \ {0}. There are lots of known results about the least common multiple of a sequence of positive integers. The most renowned is nothing else than an equivalent of the prime number theory; it says that log lcm(1, 2, ..., n) ∼ n as n approaches infinity (see, for instance [6]), where lcm(1, 2, · · · , n) means the ...

‘Laser microdissection: a day for answers conference,’ organized by EuroSciCon (Hertfordshire, UK), hosted a large group of scientists from across Europe. Laser-capture microdissection (LCM) is a state-of-the-art technique that has made a large impact amongst the scientific community in recent times. Despite the usefulness of this technique, LCM is still relatively underused and, thus, the main...

Four ruminally cannulated buffalo bulls (300 kg) were fed mottgrass diets using a 4 4 Latinsquare design. Treatments consisted of mottgrass fertilized with 0 or 110.4 kg N/ha and harvested at 40 (ECM) and 60 (LCM) days. Fertilization increased the concentrations of crude protein (CP) and fibre contents. The CP contents of the mottgrass decreased and fibre contents increased with advancing matur...
