The temperature induced melting transition of a self-complementary DNA strand covalently attached at the 5' end to the surface of a gold interdigitated microelectrode (GIME) was monitored in a novel, label-free, manner. The structural state of the hairpin was assessed by measuring four different electronic properties of the GIME (capacitance, impedance, dissipation factor and phase angle) as a ...

the paper presents unified analytical solution for combining high-frequency and low-frequency economic time-series by additive and proportional denton methods with parametrical dependence on the initial values of variable and indicator in evident form. this solution spans denton’s original and cholette’s advanced benchmarking initial conditions as the subcases. computational complexity of the o...

In this short paper, we describe a solution to protect users’ privacy in online social networks (OSNs). The solution achieves the following functionalities: (1) it enables users to store their private data securely; (2) it enables users, from the same or different OSNs, to compute their similarity through a secure protocol; (3) it enables similar users to establish a session key for secure comm...

We propose a novel privacy-preserving security solution for cloud services. Our solution is based on an efficient nonbilinear group signature scheme providing the anonymous access to cloud services and shared storage servers. The novel solution offers anonymous authenticationfor registered users. Thus, users' personal attributes (age, valid registration, successful payment) can be proven withou...

The genes encoding the alpha(1A), alpha(1B), alpha(1C) and alpha(1E) subunits of neuronal high voltage-gated Ca channels (HVGCCs) were separately expressed with beta(1B) and alpha(2)/delta subunits in Xenopus oocytes to determine the effects of volatile anesthetics (VAs) on currents through each specific channel. VA effects were determined on currents carried by Ba(2+) (I(Ba)) using the two ele...

Goo, Yong Sook, Wonil Lim, and Keith S. Elmslie. Ca enhances U-type inactivation of N-type (CaV2.2) calcium current in rat sympathetic neurons. J Neurophysiol 96: 1075–1083, 2006. First published June 7, 2006; doi:10.1152/jn.01294.2005. Ca -dependent inactivation (CDI) has recently been shown in heterologously expressed N-type calcium channels (CaV2.2), but CDI has been inconsistently observed ...

Tomato (Lycopersiconesculentum Mill. cv. Rampai) is rich in lycopene, a carotenoid group compound with many biological activities, one of which as an antioxidant. Conventional tomato cultivation not optimal due to the susceptibility plants pests and diseases, even though need for lycopene continues increase. Plant tissue culture method can be solution production. Callus Rampai was initiated fro...

The changes in microvascular diameter and perivascular oxygen tension resulting from alterations in suffusion solution Po2 were investigated in a study of the participation of oxygen in the regulation of blood flow. Diffusion gradients for oxygen were altered by changing the Po2 of a solution covering the surface of the hamster cheek pouch. As the solution P02 was raised from a low of 11 mm Hg,...
