    Abstract
    The issues of channel conflict and channel power have received widespread research attention, including Geylani et al.’s (2007) work on channel relations in an asymmetric retail setting. Specifically, these authors suggest that a manufacturer can respond to a dominant retailer’s pricing pressure by raising the wholesale price for a weak retailer over that for the dominant retailer while transferring demand to the weak retailer channel via cooperative advertising. But, is online expansion another kind of strategic manufacturer’s optimal response to a dominant retailer? In this paper, we extend this work by adding a direct online selling channel to illustrate the impact of the manufacturer’s internet entry on firms’ demands, profits, and pricing strategies and on consumer welfare. Our analysis thus includes a condition in which the manufacturer can add an online channel. If such an online channel is opened, the channel-supported network externality will always benefit the manufacturer but hurt the retailers. Consumers, however, will only benefit from the network externality when a dominant retailer is present and will be hurt when both retailers are symmetric.

      A key role for peroxynitrite-mediated inhibition of cardiac ERG (Kv11.1) K+ channels in carbon monoxide–induced proarrhythmic early afterdepolarizations

      Al-Owais, M.M.; Hettiarachchi, N.T.; Kirton, H.M.; Hardy, Matthew E.; Boyle, J.P.; Scragg, J.L.; Steele, D.S.; Peers, C. (2017-11-01)
      Exposure to CO causes early afterdepolarization arrhythmias. Previous studies in rats have indicated that arrhythmias arose as a result of augmentation of the late Na+ current. The purpose of the present study was to examine the basis for CO-induced arrhythmias in guinea pig myocytes in which action potentials (APs) more closely resemble those of human myocytes. Whole-cell current- and voltage-clamp recordings were made from isolated guinea pig myocytes as well as from human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells that express wild-type or a C723S mutant form of ether-a-go-go–related gene (ERG; Kv11.1). We also monitored the formation of peroxynitrite (ONOO−) in HEK293 cells fluorimetrically. CO—applied as the CO-releasing molecule, CORM-2—prolonged the APs and induced early afterdepolarizations in guinea pig myocytes. In HEK293 cells, CO inhibited wild-type, but not C723S mutant, Kv11.1 K+ currents. Inhibition was prevented by an antioxidant, mitochondrial inhibitors, or inhibition of NO formation. CO also raised ONOO− levels, an effect that was reversed by the ONOO− scavenger, FeTPPS [5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-sulfonatophenyl)-porphyrinato-iron(III)], which also prevented the CO inhibition of Kv11.1 currents and abolished the effects of CO on Kv11.1 tail currents and APs in guinea pig myocytes. Our data suggest that CO induces arrhythmias in guinea pig cardiac myocytes via the ONOO−-mediated inhibition of Kv11.1 K+ channels.

      Adaptive resource management for P2P live streaming systems

      Yuan, X.; Min, Geyong; Ding, Y.; Liu, Q.; Liu, J.; Yin, H.; Fang, Q. (2013)
      Peer-to-Peer (P2P) has become a popular live streaming delivery technology owing to its scalability and low cost. P2P streaming systems often employ multi-channels to deliver streaming to users simultaneously, which leads to a great challenge of allocating server resources among these channels appropriately. Most existing P2P systems resort to over-allocating server resources to different channels, which results in low-efficiency and high-cost. To allocate server resources to different channels efficiently, we propose a dynamic resource allocation algorithm based on a streaming quality model for P2P live streaming systems. This algorithm can improve the channel streaming quality for multi-channel P2P live streaming system and also guarantees the streaming quality of the channels under extreme Internet conditions. In an experiment, the proposed algorithm is validated by the trace data.

      State-Dependent Network Connectivity Determines Gating in a K+ Channel

      Bollepalli, M.K.; Fowler, P.W.; Rapedius, M.; Shang, Lijun; Sansom, M.S.P.; Tucker, S.J.; Baukrowitz, T. (2014-07-08)
      X-ray crystallography has provided tremendous insight into the different structural states of membrane proteins and, in particular, of ion channels. However, the molecular forces that determine the thermodynamic stability of a particular state are poorly understood. Here we analyze the different X-ray structures of an inwardly rectifying potassium channel (Kir1.1) in relation to functional data we obtained for over 190 mutants in Kir1.1. This mutagenic perturbation analysis uncovered an extensive, state-dependent network of physically interacting residues that stabilizes the pre-open and open states of the channel, but fragments upon channel closure. We demonstrate that this gating network is an important structural determinant of the thermodynamic stability of these different gating states and determines the impact of individual mutations on channel function. These results have important implications for our understanding of not only K+ channel gating but also the more general nature of conformational transitions that occur in other allosteric proteins.
