The myelin basic proteins (MBPs) are a set of peripheral membrane polypeptides that are required for the compaction of the major dense line of central nervous system myelin. We have used primary cultures of oligodendrocytes from MBP-deficient shiverer mice as host cells for the expression by cDNA transfection of each of the four major MBP isoforms. The distributions of the encoded polypeptides ...

BACKGROUND We investigated the predictive value of morning blood pressure surge (MBPS) on the development of microalbuminuria in normotensive adults with a recent diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. METHODS Prospective assessments of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and urinary albumin excretion were performed in 377 adult patients. Multivariate-adjusted Cox regression models were used ...

ireless local area networks (WLANs) small enough for portable computing devices have transmission rates up to a few Mbps, the lower end of rates obtained in IEEE 802-compliant wired LANs. WLANs can provide a useful service when the application demands and number of users are low. Accommodating more users and multimedia traffic requires much higher performance, from several tens of Mbps to over ...

The development of transportation technology continues to progress with various models and forms vehicles that have been produced both on a small scale large scale. use equipment can cause congestion in operating it, one way reduce this is vehicle-to-vehicle communication system conditions where there are no obstacles based the parameters used through Bit Error Rate Throuhgput. Vehicular ad hoc...

Incubation temperature has an immediate and long-term influence on the embryonic development in birds. DNA methylation as an important environment-induced mechanism could serve as a potential link between embryos' phenotypic variability and temperature variation, which reprogrammed by DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferases (DNMTS) and Methyl-CpG binding domain proteins (MBPS) 3&5 (MBD3&5). Five ge...

In this paper analysis and performance of AODV, DSR, GRP and OLSR is done for 1 mbps data rate. We used OPNET Simulation tool we created a network containing 30 mobile nodes with data rate 1 Mbps with transmission power 0.005 watts and buffer size 1024000 bits each node moves randomly in the network and simulation time was 1500 sec. Routing protocols are compared in terms of WLAN Load, WLAN Med...

Space-time trellis code (STTC) has been widely applied to coded multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems because of its gains in coding and diversity; however, its great decoding complexity makes it less promising in chip realization compared to the space-time block code (STBC). The complexity of STTC decoding lies in the branch metric calculation in the Viterbi algorithm and increases sig...

Clusters of Symmetrical Multiprocessors (SMPs) have recently become popular as low-cost, high-performance computing solutions. The type of interconnection hardware used in these clusters can become a deciding factor in their overall pei$orinance. This paper evaluates the performance of three different communication systems, I O Mbps Ethernet, 100 Mbps FastEthemet and 155 Mbps ATM, using a multi...

The psychological, behavioral and psychosocial implications of self-control are well established, but relatively little is known about its implications for physical health. This study examined the association between self-control and two important indicators of cardiovascular risk: morning blood pressure surge (MBPS) and maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max). Undergraduate students (N = 78) compl...
