The cell-cycle field has identified the core regulators that drive the cell cycle, but we do not have a clear map of the dynamics of these regulators during cell-cycle progression versus cell-cycle exit. Here we use single-cell time-lapse microscopy of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2 (CDK2) activity followed by endpoint immunofluorescence and computational cell synchronization to determine the tempor...

In component-based software systems the basic building block is the component, and applications are built as component compositions. ‘Dynamic reconfiguration’ in such systems is defined as the ability to replace individual components at runtime, or to change the compositional topology by adding/removing components and/or changing the patterns of their interconnection. A ‘quiescence service’ sup...

In the present study, it is shown that although Escherichia coli CFT073, a human uropathogenic (UPEC) strain, grows in liquid glucose M9 minimal medium, it fails to grow on glucose M9 minimal medium agar plates seeded with ≤10(6) CFU. The cells on glucose plates appear to be in a "quiescent" state that can be prevented by various combinations of lysine, methionine, and tyrosine. Moreover, the q...

Rest has been examined only sporadically in the nursing literature, primarily as a physiological need closely related to sleep. The article describes the concept of rest from a variety of perspectives and lays the foundation for further analysis. Themes of physical, mental, and spiritual components of rest emerge as the concept is explored. Further analysis of the concept of rest in both health...

Rest is a health-related phenomenon. Researchers have explored the phenomenon of rest, but further concept development is recommended. The aim of my study was to develop and describe a concept of rest, from interviews with a total of 63 participants about their lived experiences of rest. I performed the developing process in two stages: first with descriptive phenomenology and second with a her...

We present a new, yet very simple principle for global quiescence deteco tion. All active processes and all messages of the underlying computation have a share f a credit initially distributed by the environment. The sum of all credit shares is kept t n invariant. When the environment has recovered the whole credit, it can conclude tha o processes are active and no messages are in transit. We s...

Given a test scenario as a Message Sequence Chart (MSC), a method for implementing an MSC test in a distributed asynchronous environment is suggested. Appropriate test coordination is achieved using coordinating messages and observed quiescence of a system under test. A formal definition and a classification of faults with respect to the test scenario are introduced. It is shown that the use of...

A total of 88 thoroughbred mares were diagnosed with clinical ovarian quiescence and subjected to four treatment regimens. Using PMSG, hCG or combinations of both. A high dose combination of 5,000IU PMSG with 5,000IU hCG showed significantly higher rates of marked estrus and ovulation induction (P<0.01) as well as conception rates (P<0.05). In the present study, the administration of a high-dos...

We report extensive photometry of the dwarf nova QW Ser throughout its 2003 February superoutburst till quiescence. During the superoutburst the star displayed clear superhumps with a mean period of Psh = 0.07703(4) days. In the quiescence we observed a double humped wave characterized by a period of P = 0.07457(2) days. As both periods obey the Stolz-Schoembs relation with a period excess equa...
