Compact double notch coplanar and microstrip bandstop filters are described. They based on a version of the open interconnected split ring resonator (OISRR) integrated in or waveguides. The OISRR introduces an RLC connected parallel with propagating line. Therefore, this can be modeled as shunt circuit to ground, R, L C elements series. consequence for frequency response device is band at reson...

The actin-based motor protein myosin II plays a critical role in many cellular processes in both muscle and non-muscle cells. Targeted disruption of the Dictyostelium regulatory light chain (RLC) caused defects in cytokinesis and multicellular morphogenesis. In contrast, a myosin heavy chain mutant lacking the RLC binding site, and therefore bound RLC, showed normal cytokinesis and development....

The participation of nonmuscle myosin in force maintenance is controversial. Furthermore, its regulation is difficult to examine in a cellular context, as the light chains of smooth muscle and nonmuscle myosin comigrate under native and denaturing electrophoresis techniques. Therefore, the regulatory light chains of smooth muscle myosin (SM-RLC) and nonmuscle myosin (NM-RLC) were purified, and ...

We have isolated two series of complementary DNAs (cDNAs) from a chicken gizzard cDNA library encoding two isoforms of phosphorylatable myosin regulatory light chain (RLC). One of the cDNAs encodes a previously isolated smooth muscle myosin RLC (also referred to as LC20-A); the other encodes a protein that shares 92% homology with the LC20-A isoform. The phosphorylatable threonine and serine re...

The myosin 20,000-D regulatory light chain (RLC) has a central role in smooth muscle contraction. Previous work has suggested either the presence of two RLC isoforms, one specific for nonmuscle and one specific for smooth muscle, or the absence of a true smooth muscle-specific isoform, in which instance smooth muscle cells would use nonmuscle isoforms. To address this issue directly, we have is...

Broadband noise with profound low-frequency profile is prevalent and difficult to be controlled mechanically. This study demonstrates effective broadband sound absorption by reducing the mechanical reactance of a loudspeaker using a shunt circuit through electro-mechanical coupling, which induces reactance with different signs from that of loudspeaker. An RLC shunt circuit is connected to the m...

An efficient model-order reduction technique for general RLC networks is proposed. The method is extended from the previous projection-base moment matching method with considering both the circuit network and its corresponding adjoint network. By exploring symmetric properties of the MNA formulation, the proposed method needs only one half of the system moment information compared with the prev...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of reduced segment; T and ? RLC interconnect models. With down scaling of technology, the interconnect structures have became a predominant factor in determining the overall circuit performance. Controlling interconnect propagation delay is the fundamental parameter to high speed VLSI designs. In this work, model performance has been evaluated in terms...

For deep-submicron, high-performance circuits, the inductive effect plays a very important role in determining the circuit delay. In this paper, we derive accurate formulae for modeling the delays of buffered RLY/RLC wires and trees. Our formulae can handle balanced and un-balanced trees and consider buffer insertion. Extensive simulations with HSPICE show that the formulae have high fidelity, ...
