In this dissertation, the concept of wireless ATM was introduced and the hot area of research concerning improving the reliability of transmission throughout the wireless media was considered. A new wireless automatic error control system was suggested and a detailed cell loss a…

This dissertation presents the design, specification and analysis of a BISDN user-to-network interface (UNI) named DRAGON (Distributed Access Generic Optical Network Interface) for cell-relay networks. The DRAGON allows clusters of nodes to be connected to an SMDS network via fi…

Congestion control is the most important part of ATM's ABR service since it has to fully utilize the available bandwidth without causing cell losses. The congestion control for high speed networks like ATM require a local flow controller at bottleneck nodes. In this thesis, we a…

Inhibiting inflammatory processes or eliminating inflammation represents a logical role in the suppression and treatment strategy of cancer. Several studies have shown that anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have promise as anticancer agents while reducing metastases and mortality…

DNA damage leads to the activation of the ATM and ATR kinases, which in turn cause either cell cycle arrest and DNA repair or apoptosis. In the first part of my thesis, we have demonstrated that the pro-apoptotic BID protein is phosphorylated by ATM in response to DNA damage, an…
