Recently, there has been tremendous progress in characterizing the transcriptional network regulating human embryonic stem cells (hESCs; MacArthur etal., 2009; Loh etal., 2011), including those signaling events mediated by Oct4, Nanog, and Sox2. There is growing interest in the epigenetic machinery involved in hESC self-renewal and differentiation. In general, epigenetic regulation includes chr...

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility in women of reproductive age, affecting 7% of this population. Although not entirely understood, the etiology of PCOS is closely linked to obesity and abdominal adiposity that are considered to worsen the clinical presentation, particularly menstrual irregularities and hyperandrogenism. Lifestyle mo...

Chronic pelvic pain probably is a symptom most frequently complained of by women to a gynecologist.  Too frequently this leads to a laparatomy from whkh either no benefit is derived, or the pain is actually made worse.  The purpose of thls paper is to reevaluate the cause and etiology of chronic pelivc pain, not only to save unnecessary and expensive surgery, but most effectively to rid the p...

Adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and The effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. Given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. In this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...

The application of frequency domain equalization techniques makes single carrier modulation a potentially valuable alternative to OFDM, especially in regard to its robustness to RF implementation impairments. In this overview paper we survey recent results on single carrier systems with frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE), including comparisons and compatibilities with OFDM, and extensions v...
