The hierarchical clustering is an efficient way to reduce the overall energy consumption within the cluster by performing aggregation and fusion of data. Hence, the amount of transmitting information to the base station is decreased. Clusters create hierarchical Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) which facilitate efficient utilization of limited resources of sensor nodes and thus extend network li...

Glycoprotein B (gB) is a key component of the complex herpesvirus fusion machinery. We studied membrane interaction of two gB ectodomain forms and present an electron cryotomography structure of the gB-bilayer complex. The two forms differed in presence or absence of the membrane proximal region (MPR) but showed an overall similar trimeric shape. The presence of the MPR impeded interaction with...

a generalization of the known results in fusion frames and $g$-frames theory to continuous fusion frames which defined by m. h. faroughi and r. ahmadi, is presented in this study. continuous resolution of the identity (cri) is introduced, a new family of cri is constructed, and a number of reconstruction formulas are obtained. also, new results are given on the duality of continuous fusion fram...

abstract  background: spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis can be associated with significant  low back pain, especially in physically active adolescents. non-operative management  is usually successful in improving symptoms, but surgical intervention is  occasionally required. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of in situ posterolateral  fusion in the treatment of refractory case...

Fusion of a single vesicle induces a quantal response, which is critical in determining synaptic strength. Quantal size varies at most synapses. Its underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we examined five sources of variation: vesicular glutamate concentration ([Glu]v), vesicle volume, ultrafast fusion pore closure, the postsynaptic receptor, and the location between release and t...

We present a mathematical model for pre-fusion interaction between an influenza virus and a healthy cell. The model describes the role of the force exerted by Hemaglutinin (HA) protein clusters in bringing the viral membrane in close contact with the host cell membrane, as a first step of the fusion process between the two membranes. We model the viral membrane as a lipid bilayer whose shape en...

splenogonadal fusion is a rare entity with approximately 150 reported cases until the year 2005. the entity is a rare congenital anomaly in which there is fusion of splenic and gonadal anlagen or mesonephric derivatives. splenogonadal fusion has two continuous and discontinuous types. about ten cases have been reported to be associated with bilateral cryptorchidism in literature. very few cases...

In this paper we investigate a new notion of bases in Hilbert spaces and similar to fusion frame theory we introduce fusion bases theory in Hilbert spaces. We also introduce a new denition of fusion dual sequence associated with a fusion basis and show that the operators of a fusion dual sequence are continuous projections. Next we dene the fusion biorthogonal sequence, Bessel fusion basis, Hil...

Abstract Over the decade, due to the fact that the global energy resources are in deadly shortage, much emphasis is put on the energy consumption in thermal power throughout the world. Following developed is Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler (CFBB) in recent years, a kind of combustion boiler that can clean and desulfurize the coal efficiently in the combustion process.Circulating Fluidized Bed ...

We developed a high speed eigenvalue solver that is an essential part of a plasma stability analysis system for fusion reactors on a Cell cluster system. In order to achieve continuous operation of fusion reactors, we must evaluate the state of plasma within the characteristic confinement time of the plasma density and temperature in fusion reactors. This is because we can prevent plasma from b...
