Visible light communication (VLC) is an emerging technology that provides ubiquitous connectivity by complementing radio frequency for the fifth-generation (5G) wireless and beyond. However, inadequacies in modulation bandwidth of light-emitting diode (LED) reduce achievable data rate image sensor-based VLC, also known as optical camera (OCC). Hence, densely deployed OCC networks, multiple chan...

The role of gossypol in the cumulus expansion of oocyte-cumulus complexes (OCC) isolated from large antral porcine follicles was investigated. Marked suppression of cumulus expansion stimulated with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) was observed in the presence of different concentrations of gossypol. Comparable inhibitory effects were obtained in the presence...

The interference graph for a procedure in Static Single Assignment (SSA) Form is chordal. Since the k-colorability problem can be solved in polynomial-time for chordal graphs, this result has generated interest in SSA-based heuristics for spilling and coalescing. Since copies can be folded during SSA construction, instances of the coalescing problem under SSA have fewer affinities than traditio...

BACKGROUND Ovarian clear-cell carcinoma (OCC) is known to have a poor prognosis and selected genetic features of OCC remain unknown. We investigated microsatellite instability (MSI) and the expression of the DNA mismatch repair-related protein, p53. MATERIALS AND METHODS MSI was examined by polymerase chain reaction using mono-, di-, tri- and tetranucleotide repeat markers, and hMSH2, hMLH1, ...

To study the effects of circulatory occlusion on the time course and magnitude of postexercise O2 consumption (VO2) and blood lactate responses, nine male subjects were studied twice for 50 min on a cycle ergometer. On one occasion, leg blood flow was occluded with surgical thigh cuffs placed below the buttocks and inflated to 200 mmHg. The protocol consisted of a 10-min rest, 12 min of exercis...

We tested the hypothesis that increases in forearm blood flow (FBF) during the adaptive phase at the onset of moderate exercise would allow a more rapid increase in muscle O2 uptake (VO2 mus). Fifteen subjects completed forearm exercise in control (Con) and leg occlusion (Occ) conditions. In Occ, exercise of ischemic calf muscles was performed before the onset of forearm exercise to activate th...
