We have isolated a nucleus-basal body complex from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The complex is strongly immunoreactive to an antibody generated against a major protein constituent of isolated Tetraselmis striata flagellar roots (Salisbury, J. L., A. Baron, B. Surek, and M. Melkonian, J. Cell Biol., 99:962-970). Electrophoretic and immunoelectrophoretic analysis indicates that, like the Tetraselmi...

Throughout its elongation, the new flagellum of the procyclic form of the African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei is tethered at its tip to the lateral aspect of the old flagellum. This phenomenon provides a cytotactic mechanism for influencing inheritance of cellular pattern. Here, we show that this tethering is produced via a discrete, mobile transmembrane junction - the flagella connector. Li...

The existing routing protocols in mobile ad hoc network such as DSDV, AODV, DSR, ZRP, SRL, HSR, etc cannot be utilized for FSO/RF MANET owing to certain disjoint characteristics of free space optical (FSO) and MANET. The characteristics include accommodating directionality, accuracy in routing information, memory, reduced overhead and delay. In this paper, a hierarchical routing protocol for FS...

We investigate the influence of launching conditions on misalignment tolerance of pluggable ballpoint-pen interconnects, where graded-index plastic optical fibers (GI POFs) are coupled with ball lenses mounted on their end faces. The lateral-misalignment tolerance of the ballpoint-pen connector decreased with an increase in the driving current of a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL)...

Evaluating the structural safety and seakeeping performance of very large floating structures (VLFS) using rigid module flexible connector (RMFC) method remains challenging due to complexity coupled hydrodynamic–structural responses in this system. In study, a frequency–time domain model is developed based on RMFC employing planar Euler–Bernoulli beam elements investigate dynamic multi-module s...

This paper describes the Connector and Acceptor patterns. The intent of these patterns is to decouple the active and passive initialization roles, respectively, from the tasks a communication service performs once initialization is complete. Common examples of communication services that utilize these patterns include WWW browsers, WWW servers, object request brokers, and “superservers” (which ...

OBJECTIVES The level of environmental contamination generated during preparation and administration of hazardous drugs using different valve closed-systems and their combinations was compared. The actual impact on the overall time of preparation of cytostatics and the economic cost of the different modalities were also compared. METHODS Comparative study of the preparation of fluorescein mixt...

Community structure detection has proven to be important in revealing the underlying properties of complex networks. The standard problem, where a partition of disjoint communities is sought, has been continually adapted to offer more realistic models of interactions in these systems. Here, a two-step procedure is outlined for exploring the concept of overlapping communities. First, a hard part...

Connectors are used in component-based systems as first-class entities to abstract component interactions. To explain their responsibilities, several taxonomies have been published to date. However, most of them mix different levels of abstraction and fail to provide any guidelines that address different component interconnections through “real connectors” (employed in assembling real-life appl...
