The application and interpretation of computerised spectral analysis of the neonatal electroencephalogram (EEG) using the Neuroscience Berg Fourier Analyser (BFA) is described. Recordings are immediately available at the cotside. Electrophysiological changes can be recognised by individuals with no previous experience in EEG technology. The compact nature of the analysis allows long periods of ...

We have investigated the role of the ADPribosylation induced by brefeldin A (BFA) in the mechanisms controlling the architecture of the Golgi complex. BFA causes the rapid disassembly of this organelle into a network of tubules, prevents the association of coatomer and other proteins to Golgi membranes, and stimulates the ADP-ribosylation of two cytosolic proteins of 38 and 50 kD (GAPDH and BAR...

The Golgi apparatus undergoes morphological changes under stress or malignant transformation, but the precise mechanisms are not known. We recently showed that non-muscle myosin IIA (NMIIA) binds to the cytoplasmic tail of Core 2 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase mucus-type (C2GnT-M) and transports it to the endoplasmic reticulum for recycling. Here, we report that Golgi fragmentation induced by ...

A monoclonal antibody CC92 (IgM), raised against a fraction of rat liver enriched in Golgi membranes, recognizes a novel Endo H-resistant 74-kD membrane glycoprotein (gp74). The bulk of gp74 is confined to the cis-Golgi network (CGN). Outside the Golgi gp74 is found in tubulovesicular structures and ER foci. In cells incubated at 37 degrees C the majority of gp74 is segregated from the intermed...

This paper develops an optimization procedure for tuning of power systems stabilizer (PSS) and Thyristor controlled Series capacitor (TCSC) based the power oscillation damping controller (POD)n to enhance Power System stability. Bacterial foraging algorithm (BFA) tries to minimize an Eigen value based multi objective function in which some loading conditions are considered concurrently to ensur...

This paper considers the stabilization of a synchronous machine connected to an infinite bus via a PID. The PID parameters are tuned using hybrid Particle Swarm-Bacteria Foraging Optimization (PSO-BFA). Simulation results are introduced with and without the proposed controller. Also, a comparison study is introduced when using classical PID, only bacteria foraging optimization and when using hy...

In this paper, a hybrid approach involving neural network (NN)-Bacterial Foraging Algorithm (BFA) is proposed for Automatic Generation Control of power system. The proposed algorithm is implemented to tune PID controller and the stability of interconnected system is improved. The feed forward Neural Network is to ensure the distribution of stochastic value with respective to chemotactic step si...

Lemma 1. Let 4ABC be a triangle with acute angles ∠A and ∠C. Drop a perpendicular from B to the base line ←→ AC, and let F be the foot. Then A ∗ F ∗ C. Proof. Observe that F 6= A since ∠BAC is not a right angle. Likewise F 6= C. So by Axiom B-3, one of A,F,C is between the other two. If F ∗A ∗C then ∠BAC is external to ∠BFA, so ∠BAC > ∠BFA which contradicts the assumption that ∠A is acute. Like...
