Self Organizing strategies for enhanced ICIC (eICIC) [PDF]
Small cells have been identified as an effective solution for coping with the important traffic increase that is expected in the coming years. But this solution is accompanied by additional interference that needs to be mitigated. The enhanced Inter Cell

Cell fate determined by the activation balance between PKR and SPHK1 [PDF]
AbstractDouble-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-dependent protein kinase R (PKR) activation via autophosphorylation is the central cellular response to stress that promotes cell death or apoptosis. However, the key factors and mechanisms behind the simultaneous activation of pro-survival signaling pathways remain unknown.

Novel cell balancing applied near-field coupling and Serial–Parallel Circuit configuration
This paper proposes a near-field cell balancing method to be applied to batteries of higher capacity and power. This method involves a wireless power transfer to balance battery cells, which produces higher efficiency than conventional passive approaches,

Direct control strategy for a four-level three-phase flying-capacitor inverter [PDF]
A direct predictive control strategy is proposed for a three-phase four-level flying-capacitor (FC) inverter in this paper. The balancing of the FC voltages, a challenge in applications with small capacitors and low switching frequencies, is done without

Nuclear Factor of Activated T Cells Balances Angiogenesis Activation and Inhibition [PDF]
It has been demonstrated that vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) induction of angiogenesis requires activation of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). We show that NFATc2 is also activated by basic fibroblast growth factor and blocked by the inhibitor of angiogenesis pigment epithelial–derived factor (PEDF).

A predictive control with flying capacitor balancing of a multicell active power filter [PDF]
Unlike traditional inverters, multicell inverters have the following advantages: lower switching frequency, high number of output levels, and less voltage constraints on the insulated-gate bipolar transistors.

Unraveling the Signaling Balance of Activation and Exhaustion of CAR T Cells [PDF]
CAR T cells with different costimulation domains have proven clinical efficacy in leukemia and lymphoma but have different kinetics of activation, antigen sensitivity, and susceptibility to exhaustion. Two recent studies identified that these functions are shaped by a balance among opposing signaling complexes and transcription factors competing for ...
