In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), power consumption is an important aspect when designing routing protocols.When compared to other components of a sensor node, the power required by radio transmitters is responsible for most of the consumption.One way to optimize energy consumption is by using energy-aware protocols.Such protocols take into consi
Mitochondria play a key role in providing energy to cells.These organelles are constantly undergoing dynamic processes of fusion and fission that change in stressful conditions.The role of mitochondrial fusion in wheat root cells was studied using Mdivi-1, an inhibitor of the mitochondrial fragmentation protein Drp1.The effect of the inhibitor was
The presence of single nucleotide variations in the coding region of micro-RNA (miRNA)-encoding genes plays a significant role in the expression and function of these molecules in oncogenesis and cancer.The association of rs2682818 in miR-618 with increased risk of breast cancer was investigated in the Iranian population.rs2682818/miR-618 was genot
Hydraulic fracturing has become one of the most popular techniques for exploring sustainable energy sources.However, friction is associated with the entire fracturing process, presenting significant challenges for development.Facing the huge friction challenges, this review is elaborated in the following three aspects: (1) the fundamentals of hydra
