Abstract: A power-saving wireless network, a packet transmitting method for use in the wireless network, and computer readable medium therefor are provided. The wireless network comprises a PAN coordinator, a receiving node and a transferring node. When the transmitting node has a packet planed to be transmitted to the receiving node which is in a sleep mode, the packet is alternatively transmitted to the PAN coordinator. As soon as the receiving node wakes from the sleep mode, all packets are transmitted to the receiving node from the PAN coordinator. After the packets are all successfully transmitted, the receiving node turns back to the sleep mode subsequently. Thereby, the performance of the wireless network would not be restricted to the sleep period and memory capacity. Thus, the nodes in the wireless network would greatly facilitate saving power.

Abstract: The present invention provides transcription factors associated with the hedgehog signaling pathway that are regulated by dephosphorylation by phosphatases. Hedgehog response elements (HRE) that interact with the dephosphorylated transcription factors are also provided as well as methods for identifying compounds that are phosphatase inhibitors. Methods of treating tumors in a subject by modulating the phosphorylation of the transcription factor are also included.

Abstract: Multiple methods for measuring the COUP-TF system, including: a method to measure the level of COUP-TF by combining antibodies with biological samples and measuring the resultant antibody/COUP-TF complex; the binding of COUP-TF to promoters by combining biological samples with COUP-TF binding oligonucleotides and measuring the resultant complex or gene synthesis; and a method to measure COUP-TF inducable promoters by combining native COUP-TF with nuclear extracts of biological samples and measuring the resultant complexes. The methods when applied to human biological samples can detect diabetes due to COUP-TF or promoter defects. In addition to the methods for measuring the COUP-TF system and associated diseases, there are also the polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies necessary for the methods. These bind to at least one immunoreactive site on COUP-TF. Furthermore, there is a DNA clone containing the genetic coding regions of the COUP-TF protein.
