  Sherlock Channels: Architecture of Sherlock Channels
A channel is a search-engine interface that uses the Sherlock infrastructure to access network-based resources and display the results to the user.
Channels are not search engines in themselves; they take advantage of search engines on local intranets and the Internet to find information.
Your job as a channel developer is to set up the channel context to acquire the relevant data.

Such protein-based channels or pores underlie much of physiology, from the firing of nerve cells in the brain to the regulation of water by the kidneys.
Ion channels act like valves that regulate the flow of ions, such as potassium and sodium, across a cell's membrane.
MacKinnon later identified the structure of a channel that regulates the flow of chlorine ions.

 Managing "Informed Channels" with Business Intelligence
Channels range from physical venues like retail outlets, sales agents and direct mail to media (radio, TV and print advertising), to electronic channels such as the Internet, contact centers and voice response.
The branch channel is high in both infrastructure and information content; it has the ability to carry the bank's overall value-proposition to customers, communicating the being level of the bank's organizational intelligence to the customer.
Electronic channels are not as suited to carry messages from the being level of organizational intelligence to the customer compared to the more infrastructure-intensive channels.

 Choosing Cable Channels
With the exception of certain channels like local broadcast television channels which are required to be carried by federal law, the cable operator has broad discretion in choosing which channels will be available and how those channels will be packaged and marketed to subscribers.
Terms may include whether the channel or service will be offered in a package with other programming or whether the channel or service will be offered on a per-channel or pay-per-view basis.
In addition, the tier buy-through provision of the 1992 Cable Act prohibits a cable operator from discriminating between consumers who subscribe to only the basic tier and other subscribers with regard to the rates charged on a per-channel or per-event basis.

 All Channels Act - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
In the U.S., the All Channels Act was passed by the U.S. Congress in 1961, to allow the Federal Communications Commission to require that all television set manufacturers must include UHF tuners, so that new UHF-band TV stations (then channels 14 to 83) could be received by the public.
It was later used to require that all AM band receivers be able to pick up the new expanded band stations from 1620 to 1710 kilohertz.
However, since most homes have more than one TV, a very small fraction of sets may actually continue working without the expense of a converter box when the threshold is reached.

Nerve fibers (or axons) are like long chutes that act as delivery pathways for electrical signals traveling from one site to another within the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) or from the central nervous system to sites all over the body.
Each sodium channel has a kind of trap door that opens and closes to let through sodium ions in response to signals from the axon.
When an axon is damaged, the sodium channel genes that should be turned on are turned off, and those that should be turned off, turn on.

 AKO User Help Guide: Create Channels
The "Create Channels" option allows you to create channels that fall under three categories (Headlines, Streamer, or Web Page) and makes it easy for you to set up those channels to dynamically find the information you want from the web.
Channels are one of the characteristcs that make portals unique, and set them apart from regular websites.
The main difference between these two kinds of channels is that the streamer constantly updates itself by displaying new information, while the headlines contained in the headline chapter remain static after they are retrieved and displayed, and are only updated when your browser window is refreshed.

 Channeling   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
His work focused on proteins in cell membranes that act as channels regulating the flow of important chemicals in the body.
Such channels, found in vertebrates as diverse as fish and humans, are regulated by a basic cell chemical called ATP.
By studying the behavior of the channel in the cell membrane, he discovered (among other things) that repeated exposure to ATP causes enzymes to break down the protein, eventually destroying the channel.

Ionic channels are the main pathway by which substances move into cells and so are of great biological and medical importance: a substantial fraction of all drugs used by physicians act on channels.
Channels can be studied in the tradition of computational electronics.
Ionic channels are natural nanotubes that can be controlled more precisely and easily than physical nanostructures but biologists need help if realistic simulations are to be done atomic detail.

 Paramecium behavior
The ion channels that regulate the shape of the action potential are found in the cell membrane and their opening and closing is coordinated by voltage, calcium, calmodulin, and other unknown regulatory proteins (presumably protein kinases and protein phosphatases are involved).
2) the calcium-dependent Na+ channels open in response to the incoming calcium and act to lengthen the backward swimming response by lengthening the amount of time that the cell is depolarized (thus keeping the voltage dependent Ca++ channel open.
Thus, in a nicely efficient manner, the calcium that comes in from the voltage-dependent Ca++ channels acts (through calmodulin) to initially extend the time of backward swimming and then (after a period of time) to allow forward swimming to resume.

 All Channels Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The All Channels Act was passed by the United States Congress in 1961, to allow the Federal Communications Commission to require that all television set manufacturers must include UHF tuners, so that new UHF-band TV stations (then channels 14 to 83) could be received by the public.
Some have proposed this for FM broadcasting as well, taking TV channel 6 which will be largely unused after analog shutdown.
The act has most recently been used in the 2000s to require TV manufacturers to include ATSC-T (terrestrial TV) tuners for digital television, in any TV set that includes an NTSC analog TV tuner.

 Ion Channels in Presynaptic Nerve Terminals and Control of Transmitter Release -- Meir et al. 79 (3): 1019 -- ...
Channels include voltage-gated calcium channels (N, L, P, and Q), the nonselective channel NS, the ligand-gated calcium-permeable channels LG, and the sodium/calcium exchanger.
Data on the fractions of the different channel types in the same terminal are summarized in Table 5.
The major role of calcium channels in nerve terminals is to induce the release of transmitter quanta (see Ref. 223).

Ion channels are molecular transducers that switch on and off electrical currents that are carried by ions across biological membranes.
Depending on the ion channel type, the switching action is controlled by voltage, mechanical forces, or the binding of particular small molecules (ligands).
To simplify the structure determination of membrane proteins (such as ion channels) we are pursuing technical advances in electron microscopy of frozen single-molecule specimens (single-particle cryo-EM) and the mathematical reconstruction of 3D structures from electron microscope images.

 SAP: Transport Monte Carlo Simulation in Biological Ion Channels   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Ionic channels are natural nanoscale devices that permeate the membrane of cells and regulate the internal environment.
The motivation of this research is to understand the device-like functions of ionic channels, so that in the future better interfaces between solid state (dry) systems and biological (wet) systems may be developed.
Given the natural ability of channels to act as very sensitive detectors, understanding ion channel behavior may provide insight on how to implant such elements in systems designed for single molecule detection or on how to develop artificial biomimetic channels that operate according to similar principles.

 Researchers discover the presence of functional ion channels in human embryonic stem cells
Researchers from Johns Hopkins have discovered the presence of functional ion channels in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs).
These ion channels act like electrical wires and permit ESCs, versatile cells that possess the unique ability to become all cell types of the body, to conduct and pass along electric currents.
If researchers could selectively block some of these channels in implanted cells, derived from stem cells, they may be able to prevent potential tumor development.
