Future satellite communication systems proposed use geosynchronous (GEO) satellites, medium earth orbit (MEO), and low earth orbit (LEO) constellations. Most of the next generation satellite systems will use fast packet switching with onboard processing to provide full two-way services to and from earth stations. One of the major service drivers is a high data rate internet access carried over ...

Satellite cells are resident skeletal muscle stem cells that supply myonuclei for homeostasis, hypertrophy, and repair in adult muscle. Scrib is one of the major cell-polarity proteins, acting as a potent tumor suppressor in epithelial cells. Here, we show that Scrib also controls satellite-cell-fate decisions in adult mice. Scrib is undetectable in quiescent cells but becomes expressed during ...

Traditionally a majority of the commercial satellite communications systems have been fixed repeaters at C-band and Ku-band. The satellite industry is presently undergoing significant changes in the types of systems that are being fielded. New low earth orbit and geo stationary mobile systems have large numbers of flexible beams at either L-band or S-band through the use of large phased array a...

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks are foreseen to complement terrestrial networks in future global mobile networks. Although space segment topology of a LEO network is characterized by periodic variations, connections of mobile stations (MS’s) to the satellite backbone network alter stochastically. As a result the quality of service delivered to users may degrade. Different procedures ha...

To assist in the design and understanding of future global networks, this paper describes the practical and simulation experiences gained from a TCP/IP on ATM network over a high speed satellite link and presents performance comparison studies of such networks with the same host/traffic configurations over local area (LAN) and wide area (WAN) networks. It was found that the satellite systems de...

nowadays, with the advent of new satellite services, the need for resource management in the emerging fifth generation satellite systems (5g-satellite) is inevitable. thus, to solve this problem, the bandwidth manager for resource reservation in satellite link is mandatory. on the other hand, due to limited resources, their resource management­ is essential. in order to resource management in 5...

| We examine the design of a communication link involving the data transfer from a small, low-orbit satellite to a ground station, but through a geostationary satellite. The advantage of this approach is that a single ground station , which tracks only the geostationary satellite, may be shared by a multiplicity of small satellites. Our goal is to select certain small satellite parameters { sig...

Due to population distribution and economic flourish diversity, the low earth orbit (LEO) satellite network carries unbalanced traffic load, which leads that parts of satellite links are congested while others are underutilized. Furthermore, the congested inter-satellite links result in high queuing delay and packet dropping ratio. To ensure an intelligent scheduling of traffic over entire sate...

The rapid growth of Internet-based applications pushes broadband satellite networks to carry on IP traffic. In previously proposed connectionless routing schemes in satellite networks, the metrics used to calculate the paths do not reflect the total delay a packet may experience. In this paper, a new Satellite Grouping and Routing Protocol (SGRP) is developed. In each snapshot period, SGRP divi...

Skeletal muscle undergoes a progressive age-related loss in mass and function. Preservation of muscle mass depends in part on satellite cells, the resident stem cells of skeletal muscle. Reduced satellite cell function may contribute to the age-associated decrease in muscle mass. Here, we focused on characterizing the effect of age on satellite cell migration. We report that aged satellite cell...
