Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a mechanism for degradation of cytosolic proteins in lysosomes, is one of the most selective types of autophagy in mammals [1]. Identification and degradation of single proteins via CMA allows precise remodeling of the cellular proteome and removal of altered proteins. These characteristics explain the contribution of CMA to the cellular response to stress, i...

In this paper, an undergraduate research project, sponsored by Arkansas NASA Space Grant, is presented. A novel blind adaptive channel equalizer, which is based on constant modulus algorithm (CMA) with variable step size, is first proposed. The step size is designed to follow an exponential function, with a large initial value for fast convergence rate and a small steadystate value for a low co...

the advent of computer has revolutionized a variety of fields including education thus paving the way for educational science to enter a new stage. this effect has exhibited itself well in language learning. the development of computer technology and the resulting language learning software, as a reliable tool in the educational system of developed countries, has attracted the attention of both...

BACKGROUND Our objective was to systematically assess the differences in features, results, and usability of currently available meta-analysis programs. METHODS Systematic review of software. We did an extensive search on the internet (Google, Yahoo, Altavista, and MSN) for specialized meta-analysis software. We included six programs in our review: Comprehensive Meta-analysis (CMA), MetAnalys...

Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a selective pathway for the degradation of cytosolic proteins in lysosomes. CMA declines with age because of a decrease in the levels of lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP) type 2A, a lysosomal receptor for this pathway. We have selectively blocked the expression of LAMP-2A in mouse fibroblasts in culture and analyzed the cellular consequences of re...

Adaptive blind equalization has gained widespread use in communication systems that operate without training signals. In particular, the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) has become a favorite of practitioners due to its LMS-like complexity and desirable robustness properties. The desire for further reduction in computational complexity has motivated signed-error versions of CMA, which have been...

Adaptive blind equalization has gained widespread use in communication receivers that operate without training signals. In particular, the Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) 6, 10] has become a favorite of practitioners due to its LMS-like complexity and desirable robustness properties 4, 5, 14]. This paper presents a signed-error version of CMA (SE-CMA) which is motivated by a further reduction ...
