The Bucket System is a new system for computer-mediated ensemble improvisation, designed by improvisers for improvisers. Coming from a tradition of structured free ensemble improvisation practices (comprovisation), influenced by post-WW2 experimental music practices, it is a signaling system implemented with a set of McMillen QuNeo controllers as input and output interfaces, powered by custom s...

apoptosis or programmed cell death is a gene regulated phenomenon which is important in both physiological and pathological conditions. it is characterized by distinct morphological features including chromatin condensation, cell and nuclear shrinkage, membrane blebbing and oligonucleosomal dna fragmentation. although, two major apoptotic pathways including 1) the death receptor (extrinsic) and...

Background: Though it is well established that maternal blood-borne signals influence highly the growth of the placenta, the mechanisms are not known. In vitro trophoblast culture models are limited by an inability to reconstruct the polarised bilayer of the human hemochorial placenta. We have used a first trimester villous tissue explant system to investigate how growth factors interact with p...

The application background and basic structure of train control system based on the combination of Radio Based Cab Signaling (RBCS) and Automatic Train Protection (ATP) is introduced. The architecture of the data transmission network used for RBCS is analyzed in detail, together with the reliability of radio data

This paper describes the rsig remote process signaling system. It operates in a heterogeneous network of Unix workstations and provides users the ability to issue signals across machine boundaries. Some of the efficiency and all the conceptual and practical convenience of signals are afforded, in a manner similar to remote procedure calls.

Background To investigate the role of the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) signalling pathway in the pathophysiology of idiopathic primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and age at natural menopause (ANM) using a genetic approach MaterialsAndMethods DNA sequencing was used to detect the genotype distribution and allele frequency of the genes AMH and AMH receptor II (AMHR2) in 120 cases of idiopathic P...

Wide-spread provision of broadband multimedia services requires a powerful signaling system, which does not exist yet. Future signaling will have to support calls with several participants, several connections and heterogeneous terminals. This paper introduces a new framework for an overall signaling system designed to meet the requirements of multimedia services. An object-oriented call model ...
