    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for jointly optimizing communications in a multi-user network to maximize the weighted sum-rate of its data links. For example, embodiments seek to maximize overall link transmit rates, while minimizing link interference and/or noise in general multi-in multi-out (MIMO) interference networks having multiple interfering data links, each with one or more antennas at the transmitter and receiver. Novel algorithmic approaches, including an “iterative minimax” approach and a “dual link” approach, are described for solving the weighted sum-rate maximization in a manner that converges quickly and reliably on an optimal point. Some embodiments implement these approaches in a centralized transmission controller, while others implement these approaches in a distributed fashion.

    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection as well as methods for identifying a compound or a composition that is suitable for treating HBV infection. In addition, the present invention provides a suitable non-mammalian animal model that can be used to screen for a compound or a composition that can inhibit HBV replication or treat HBV infection in a mammal. In particular, the present invention provides compositions and methods for treating hepatitis B infection by inhibiting interaction between HBV x protein and a Bcl-2 family protein or by reducing the expression level of a Bcl-2 family protein.

    Abstract: Chronic activation of the β-Adrenergic Receptor (β-AR) can have deleterious effects on the heart, and animal models over-expressing the β-AR develop heart failure. In the classical β-AR pathway, activation of the receptor results in increased cyclic AMP(cAMP) levels. However, β-ARs are desensitized in the failing heart and cAMP levels are decreased. Phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) hydrolyzes cAMP in certain subcellular compartments in cardiac myocytes, regulating cAMP levels and subsequent protein kinase A mediated cell signaling. By virtue of being freely diffusable intracellularly and being reduced in failing myocardial tissue, cAMP is reduced in certain important cardiac myocyte subcellular compartments such as the microdomain occupied by phospholamban.
