The article presents a study on the optimization of the miR-106b cluster for ectopic expression of multiplexed anti-HIV RNAs. It states that stable expression systems can be delivered to mammalian cells by viral vectors in cell culture and in vivo that result in long-term silencing of the target gene. With the aim of generating a siRNA multiplexing expression system within a single transcript, the researchers used a naturally occurring polycistronic miRNA as a scaffold.
The problem of trajectory similarity in moving object databases is a relatively new topic in the spatial and spatiotemporal database literature. Existing work focuses on the spatial notion of similarity ignoring the t...

In this paper, we present a novel mechanism for the multicast congestion control over UMTS networks. The proposed mechanism is based on the well known TCP-Friendly Multicast Congestion Control (TFMCC) scheme. The key challenge in the design of the new scheme lies in improving the TFMCC mechanism to cope with the packet losses caused by either the temporary or the permanent degradation of the wireless channels. The proposed scheme introduces minor modifications in the UMTS nodes with respect to the computing power of the mobile terminals. Finally, our approach is implemented in the ns-2 network simulator and is evaluated it under various conditions.

With the rapid progress of mobile devices and positioning technologies, Trajectory Databases (TD) have been in the core of database research during the last decade. Analysis and knowledge discovery in TD is an emerging field which has recently gained great interest. Extracting knowledge from TD using certain types of mining techniques, such as clustering and classification, impose that there is a mean to quantify the distance between two trajectories. Having as a main objective the support of effective similarity query processing, existing approaches utilize generic distance metrics that ignore the peculiarities of the trajectories as complex spatiotemporal data types. In this paper, we define a novel set of trajectory distance operators based on primitive (space and time) as well as derived parameters of trajectories (speed and direction). Aiming at providing a powerful toolkit for analysts who require producing distance matrices with different semantics as input to mining tasks, we develop algorithms for each of the proposed operators. The efficiency of our approach is evaluated through an experimental study on classification and clustering tasks using synthetic and real trajectory datasets.

In this work, we introduce metrics and a proposed procedure to measure the popularity of a website. We present two novel metrics, Promo and Promo(2) that take advantage of the internal link structure of a website, in order to gain important navigation information. This is indicative of the difficulty the user encounters to access a particular link and can be combined with statistics gained from the log files as a metric of popularity. The two metrics propose a different definition of the popularity of a web object in order to generate a sorted list of promotion values for a website's links. We have delivered a web tool that implements the proposed procedure in order to facilitate a site designer to manipulate his/her web server log data, receive recommendations and popularity results and finally proceed with changes in the structure or position of links. Overall, the experimental study using user-based accesses log data, has been encouraging and it has verified the effectiveness of the Promo metrics.

In this paper, we present work that we have carried out in extending the ns-2 simulator in order to study and validate Quality of Service issues and related architectures. In the case of the DiffServ framework, simulation is valuable since an analytical approach of mechanisms and services is infeasible due to the aggregation and multiplexing of flows. This paper covers work in extending ns-2 functionality towards the direction of realistic traffic generation and a series of mechanisms defined by the DiffServ architecture. We have also extended ns-2 with the functionality of Bandwidth Brokers, which are entities for managing the resources and negotiating end to end resource reservations between domains. The Bandwidth Broker ns-2 implementation is useful for studying the related architectures and admission control procedures.

Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS), introduced in Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 6, is a point-to-multipoint downlink bearer service that addresses the need for the efficient usage of the expensive radio resources. Power control is one of the most important aspects in MBMS due to the fact that Node B's transmission power is a limited resource and must be shared among all MBMS users in a cell. Consequently, the analysis of transmitted power plays a fundamental role in the planning and optimization process of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) radio access networks. This paper investigates several factors affecting Node B's transmission power levels such as, cell deployment, propagation models, Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, users' distributions and mobility issues. Finally, different transport channels for the transmission of the multicast data over the UTRAN interfaces are considered.
