Protein phosphorylation and cytosolic-free [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) contribute to signalling cascades evoked by the water-stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA) that lead to stomatal closure in higher-plant leaves. ABA activates an inward-rectifying Ca2+ channel at the plasma membrane of stomatal guard cells, promoting Ca2+ entry by shifting the voltage-sensitivity of the channels. Because many of these ef...

In the age of global communications, heterogeneous networks are seen to be the best choice of strategy to ensure continuous and uninterruptible services. This will allow mobile terminal to stay in connection even they are migrating into different segment coverage through the handoff process. With the increase of teletraffic demands in mobile cellular system, hierarchical cellular systems have b...

-In this paper the performance of radio resource allocation in GSM/GPRS network is analyzed. A two dimension Markov chain is presented using guard channels for handover calls. Also priority is given on reservation of QoS of voice service by applying priority for voice calls to pre-empt GPRS data packets. Key-Words: GSM, GPRS, Networks.

The discovery of the START family of abscisic acid (ABA) receptors places these proteins at the front of a protein kinase/phosphatase signal cascade that promotes stomatal closure. The connection of these receptors to Ca(2+) signals evoked by ABA has proven more difficult to resolve, although it has been implicated by studies of the pyrbactin-insensitive pyr1/pyl1/pyl2/pyl4 quadruple mutant. On...

Potassium channels are trans-membrane proteins, which selectively transport K+ ions across cell membranes and play a key role in regulating the physiology of excitability cells and signal transduction pathways. Bothutous Schach (BS) scorpion venom consists of several polypeptides that could modulate ion channels. In this study, the effects of BS crude venom on passive and active electrophysiolo...

In this paper, we consider the transmission of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signal over a channel with timevarying frequency-selective fading and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). Due to channel dispersion, intersymbol and intercarrier interference will occur at the receiver. To reduce this interference, a guard time is added as a cyclic prefix. The system performance...
