An adaptive packet aggregation algorithm for wireless networks
In order to reduce the protocol overhead of WLANs, packet aggregation is permitted in the IEEE 802.11n standard. Packet aggregation can improve the throughput by reducing the protocol overhead, but it can also increase the delay. In any packet aggregation scheme there is a trade-off between maximizing throughput and mi...

CGAS produces a 2′-5′-linked cyclic dinucleotide second messenger that activates STING
Detection of cytoplasmic DNA represents one of the most fundamental mechanisms of the innate immune system to sense the presence of microbial pathogens. Moreover, erroneous detection of endogenous DNA by the same sensing mechanisms has an important pathophysiological role in certain sterile inflammatory conditions. The...

Regularity of affine processes on general state spaces
We consider a stochastically continuous, affine Markov process in the sense of Duffie, Filipovic and Schachermayer [9], with càdlàg paths, on a general state space D, i. e. an arbitrary Borel subset of ℝd. We show that such a process is always regular, meaning that its Fourier-Laplace transform is differentiable in ti...

A New Method to Constrain Neutron Star Structure from Quasi-periodic Oscillations
We develop a new method to measure neutron star (NS) parameters and derive constraints on the equation of state (EoS) of dense matter by fitting the frequencies of simultaneous quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) modes observed in the X-ray flux of accreting NSs in low-mass X-ray binaries. To this aim, we calculate the fu...

Bootstrap voltage supply
The device has an active current limiter and a voltage regulator. The driver control voltage corresponds to the voltage applied to a boot capacitor connected on one side to an essentially constant supply voltage via a boot diode and perhaps a boot resistance in series and on the other side to the converter output of th...

DNA-stimulated cell death: implications for host defence, inflammatory diseases and cancer
The immune system detects disturbances in homeostasis that occur during infection, sterile tissue damage and cancer. This initiates immune responses that seek to eliminate the trigger of immune activation and to re-establish homeostasis. At the same time, these mechanisms can also play a crucial role in the progression...

Single cell heterogeneity in the mammalian liver
The mammalian liver performs critical functions for maintaining metabolic homeostasis. It regulates the body’s glucose and lipid stores, detoxifies blood, and produces bile among a host of other functions. The liver achieves this diversity through the collective behaviour of heterogeneous hepatocytes operating in highl...

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) does not display the typical features of auto-immune disease. Despite the strong association with MHC class I, CD8+ T cells are not required for disease induction in the HLA-B27/Huβ2m transgenic rats. We used Lewis HLA-B27/Huβ2m transgenic rats [21-3 × 283-2]F1, HLA-B7/Huβ2m transgenic rats [120...
