The distal region (-830 to -720 bp) of the rat whey acidic protein (WAP) gene contains a composite response element (CoRE), which has been demonstrated previously to confer mammary gland-specific and hormonally regulated WAP gene expression. Point mutations in the binding sites for specific transcription factors present within this CoRE have demonstrated the importance of both nuclear factor I ...

The rapid uptake and increased sophistication of mobile phones has provided an unprecedented platform for the penetration of mobile services. Among these, mobile entertainment is composed of a variety of services such as ringing tones, games, gambling and so on. Games are predicted to replace ringing tones as the main driver of mobile entertainment. This paper aims to contribute to the developm...

In this paper, the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) as one application of mobile data services is examined with the aim to give guidelines for the dimensioning of next generation mobile radio networks. The performance of WAP-based applications over GPRS is evaluated in scenarios where the GPRS radio resources are shared with conventional Internet applications like WWW and e-mail. Simulation ...

BACKGROUND Guidelines from the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program stipulate that multicomponent self-management interventions for asthma should include a written action plan (WAP). However the specific, independent effect of WAPs in improving outcomes remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To measure the association between WAP use during the previous year and improved asthma outcomes. ME...

In this paper, we describe the concept of firstoccurrence and present a web access pattern mining algorithm based on it using a novel first-occurrence linked WAP-tree (FLWAP-tree). The first-occurrences of all symbols in the base WAP-tree of the database can be found by a pre-order traversal of a portion of the WAP-tree. The frequent patterns and their projection databases can be found quickly ...

Antibacterial proteins are important participants in the innate immunity system. Elafin and SLPI are the whey acidic protein (WAP) motif proteins with both antibacterial activity and antiprotease activity, and their role in innate immunity is under intense investigation. We cloned two novel antibacterial WAP motif proteins from mice, SWAM1 and SWAM2. SWAM1 and SWAM2 are composed of a signal seq...

Using the SV40 transgenic WAP-T/WAP-TNP mouse models for mammary carcinomas, we compared the response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy in tumor mice expressing either SV40 T-antigen containing the LCMV NP-epitope (T-AgNP in WAP-TNP mice), or the unmodified T-antigen (T-Ag in WAP-T mice). Specifically, we asked, whether the presence of the highly immunogenic NP-epitope in T-AgNP influences ...

Der Anspruch des Wireless Application Protocolls (WAP) und der Wireless Markup Language (WML) sowie darauf basierender Systeme ist es, mobile Geräte mit Informationen und verteilten Anwendungen zu versorgen. Oft wird dabei der Vergleich zum World-Wide Web gezogen. In diesem Bericht wird exemplarisch anhand von fünf von uns verwirklichten WAP-Anwendungen aufgezeigt, welche Parallelen gerechtfert...
