In this paper, we propose an efficient mobility control algorithm for the downlink multi-cell orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (OFDMA) system for co-channel interference reduction. It divides each cell into several areas. The mobile nodes in each area find their own optimal position according to their present location. Both the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and...

FoxA proteins are pioneer transcription factors, among the first to bind chromatin domains in development and enable gene activity. The Fox DNA-binding domain structurally resembles linker histone and binds nucleosomes stably. Using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, we found that FoxA1 and FoxA2 move much more slowly in nuclei than other transcription factor types, including c-Myc, GA...

We show theoretically that the low-field carrier mobility in silicon nanowires can be greatly enhanced by embedding the nanowires within a hard material such as diamond. The electron mobility in the cylindrical silicon nanowires with 4-nm diameter, which are coated with diamond, is 2 orders of magnitude higher at 10 K and a factor of 2 higher at room temperature than the mobility in a free-stan...

A patient with a lifelong bleeding disorder was diagnosed as having Type II von Willebrand disease. The larger multimers of von Willebrand factor were absent from her plasma but present in platelets. A high-resolution electrophoretic technique was used to study the complex structure of individual von Willebrand factor multimers. In normal plasma, each multimer could be resolved into five bands:...

It has been hypothesized that the main determinant of the intranuclear mobility of transcription factors is their ability to bind DNA. In the present study, we have extensively tested the relationship between the intranuclear mobility of the NF-kappaB subunit p65 and binding to its consensus target sequence. The affinity of p65 for this binding site is altered by mutation of specific acetylatio...

the role played by soil constituents in governing temporal trends of metal mobility in calcareousmediterranean soils deserves special attention due to the particular soil and climate characteristics. reactionsoccurring during the aging modify the metal mobility over time, and the rate of metal application and type ofsoil can be decisive in the outcome of aging reactions in soils. the aim of the...

The purposes of this study were: (a) to measure the translational mobility of a small solute in cell cytoplasm; (b) to define quantitatively the factors that determine solute translation; and (c) to compare and contrast solute rotation and translation. A small fluorescent probe, 2,7-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and 6-)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF), was introduced into the cytoplasm of Swiss 3T3 fibrob...

A novel human site-specific DNA-binding factor has been partially purified from extracts of HeLa S3 cells. This factor, designated PIF, for parvovirus initiation factor, binds to the minimal origin of DNA replication at the 3' end of the minute virus of mice (MVM) genome and functions as an essential cofactor in the replication initiation process. Here we show that PIF is required for the viral...

We present in this work a new procedure to separate extraction of the series resistance and the mobility degradation factor in ultra thin MOSFETs. The method is based on the manipulation of the exponential model of effective mobility and extraction different parameters using a non linear fit of the experimental characteristic Id (Vg) measured in strong inversion at small drain bias. The results...
