The automatic teller machine (ATM) will be for the foreseeable future the dominant mode of access to cash for those living in industrialized societies. In this article we present the ATM as a political site where a multiplicity of relationships—primarily but not exclusively between the customer and the bank—become configured in ways that serve some interests and not others. The article draws on...

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a neurodegenerative syndrome resulting from dysfunction of ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated). The molecular details of ATM function in the nervous system are unclear, although the neurological lesions in A-T are probably developmental because they appear during childhood. The nervous systems of Atm-null mice show a pronounced defect in apoptosis that is induced ...

Mobile/Wireless ATM is a rapidly developing field of research and standardization. The ATM Forum’s Wireless ATM specification version 1.0 is expected to be released by the end of 1999. It will cover the issues of wireless access to the ATM network and the network signaling and control functions for basic support of mobile virtual circuit ATM connections. While at the moment, WATM system are env...

Ataxia-telangiectasia is a hereditary multisystemic disease resulting from mutations of ataxia telangiectasia, mutated (ATM) and is characterized by neurodegeneration, cancer, immune defects, and hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation. The molecular details of ATM function in the nervous system are unclear, although the neurological lesion in ataxia-telangiectasia becomes apparent early in life...

The gene product mutated in ataxia telangiectasia, ATM, is a ubiquitously expressed 370 kDa protein kinase that is a key mediator of the cellular response to DNA damage [1]. ATM-deficient cells are radiosensitive and show impaired cell cycle arrest and increased chromosome breaks in response to ionizing radiation. ATM is a member of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)-related protein kinas...

ATM has been adopted as the main high speed technology in both wide and local area networks. When ATM is combined with credits −the flow control mechanism that is particularly suitable for local data communication− it becomes appropriate for multiprocessor interconnection networks as well. Actually, credit-flowcontrolled ATM has similarities with wormhole routing, one of the most popular archit...

The University of Pretoria’s ATM Lab provides opportunities to investigate and acquire hands-on experience in ATM related technologies and prepares postgraduate students for roles within a high speed networking environment. The ATM Lab will become a more integral part of “high speed network” related research and will also be included in the formal network curriculum. The learning experience not...

The checkpoint kinase ATM is centrally involved in the cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks. However, the mechanism of ATM activation during genotoxic stress is only partially understood. Here we report a direct regulatory linkage between the protein serine-threonine phosphatase 5 (PP5) and ATM. PP5 interacts with ATM in a DNA-damage-inducible manner. Reduced expression of PP5 attenuat...

It is now recognized that a subset of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is familial. The genetic basis of familial CLL is poorly understood, but recently germ line mutations in the Ataxia Telangiectasia (ATM) gene have been proposed to confer susceptibility to CLL. The evidence for this notion is, however, not unequivocal. To examine this proposition further we have screened the ATM gen...

In this paper we propose approaches for shortcutting of IP flows over large ATM networks. With large ATM networks we mean that the single physical ATM network is logically structured into multiple logical ATM subnetworks. Shortcutting across such large, logically structured ATM networks is a technique to avoid network layer processing as much as possible by maximizing the switched path across t...
