A technique of secure communication via chaotic synchronization is proposed. A suitable frequency modulated (FM) signal is used to drive two different phase locked loops (PLLs) in chaotic region to obtain two different chaotic signals. Out of these two signals one will be transmitted to the receiver PLL depending on the digital data. Receiver PLL synchronized with the transmitted chaotic signal...

Sequences of data-dependent tasks, each one traversing large data sets, exist in many applications (such as video, image and signal processing applications). Those tasks usually perform computations (with loop intensive behavior) and produce new data to be consumed by subsequent tasks. This paper shows a scheme to pipeline sequences of data-dependent loops, in such a way that subsequent loops c...

Single-spanning transmembrane (TM) proteins (single-spannings), which account for as much as 25-30% of individual TM proteomes [1], can be regarded as soluble proteins rooted in the membrane lipid bilayer. There are three types of single-spannings depending on their topology: type I, with signal peptide (SP) and Nout; type II, without SP and Nin; type III, without SP and Nout. The two relativel...

INTRODUCTION High and/or ultra-high field (UHF) whole-body MR spectrometer emerges as a cutting-edge new millennium technology [1-2]. With significantly higher signal to noise ratio (SNR) and higher resolution, it obtains increased abilities in detecting human microscopic structures comparable with conventional histology, which were previously unseen in lower field. It also enables the observat...

Natively unstructured or disordered protein regions may increase the functional complexity of an organism; they are particularly abundant in eukaryotes and often evade structure determination. Many computational methods predict unstructured regions by training on outliers in otherwise well-ordered structures. Here, we introduce an approach that uses a neural network in a very different and nove...

*Correspondence: Parry M. Kietzman, Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, 900 University Ave., Riverside, CA 92521, USA e-mail: [email protected] Numerous activities within honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies rely on feedback loops for organization at the group level. Classic examples of these self-organizing behaviors occur during foraging and swarm nest site selecti...

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare anomaly with a reported incidence of 1 in 16,000 populations. It may be associated with herniation of stomach, intestinal loops, spleen, and kidney through a chest wall defect. We report a case of a 1 year old male child who presented with recurrent fever, occasional chills and rigor of 4 months duration. Left kidney was non visualised on ultrasou...

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) binds to the pituitary GnRH receptor to activate signal transduction cascades that ultimately modulate gonadotropin biosynthesis. Comprehensive studies of the GnRH-activated gene program in the LbetaT2 gonadotrope cell line have greatly increased our knowledge of the number of early and intermediate gene transcripts that are modulated by GnRH. Among the cla...
