This article investigates the error performance CURL PREP SPRAY of wireless communication systems that employ binary modulations and Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relaying over flat Nakagami-m faded links with maximum ratio combining (MRC) at destination.Specifically, we derive a simple yet accurate closed-form approximation for the average bit error pr
The Ca(2+)-sensing receptor (CaSR) regulates Ca(2+) homeostasis in the body by monitoring extracellular levels of Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]o) and amino acids.Mutations at the hinge region of the N-terminal Venus flytrap domain (VFTD) produce either receptor inactivation (L173P, P221Q) or activation (L173F, P221L) related to hypercalcemic or hypocalcemic dis
An accurate and streamlined approach to differential display (DD) band identification and verification is described.To minimize false positives, the strategy avoids the use of impure Northern blot Papar probes obtained from PCR-amplified DD bands.To increase throughput, the cloning of DD bands is replaced by a gene-specific primer approach, and hyb
