Notch signaling is a form of cellular communication that relies upon direct contact between cells. To properly induce Notch signaling in vitro, Notch ligands must be presented to cells in an immobilized state. This protocol describes methods for in vitro stimulation of Notch signaling in mouse osteoclast precursors.

This protocol describes methods for obtaining weir flow equation coefficients for a V-notch weir within a drainage control structure using (1) a laboratory calibration procedure and (2) an online tool, the "Weir Flow Equation Coefficients Calculator", developed by the authors. These methods apply to flows contained within the V-notch and overtopping flows.

Passive filters are utilized to shape the frequency spectrum of signals across a diverse array of applications. These filters, using only passive elements like resistors (R), inductors (L), and capacitors (C), are capable of selectively allowing or blocking certain frequency ranges without the need for external power sources. Low-Pass Filters Low-pass filters are designed to transmit signals with frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency, ωc, and attenuate those above it. The cutoff frequency...

Notch Signaling Pathway

2021
The Notch signaling pathway is a major intracellular signaling pathway that is highly conserved over a broad spectrum of metazoan species. It stands unique from other intracellular signaling mechanisms in animals because notch protein itself acts as the receptor as well as the primary signaling molecule. The Notch gene came into the limelight in 1914 after the discovery that its mutation in Drosophila melanogaster leads to a serrated (or "notched") wing margin phenotype. It was not until 1985...
FAQs
At the target frequency, an analog design uses reactive components to create a sharply tuned stopband, while a digital implementation uses calculated coefficients to produce the corresponding frequency response. The center frequency determines where rejection is strongest, and the surrounding response determines how selectively the filter acts. This tuning lets engineers address a known interference tone while retaining nearby signal content.
Bandwidth sets how much of the spectrum around the center frequency is affected, whereas attenuation sets how strongly the selected band is reduced. Engineers choose these parameters together: a suitably narrow stopband can target a disturbance while limiting changes to neighboring frequencies, and adequate attenuation determines whether the unwanted component is reduced enough for the application.
Analog and digital implementations pursue the same selective rejection but realize it differently. Reactive components establish the tuned response in an analog circuit; a digital signal-processing design instead applies calculated coefficients. The implementation choice therefore affects how the filter is realized, while center frequency, bandwidth, and attenuation remain the key response specifications used to match the filter to the unwanted component.
Preserving surrounding frequencies matters because the useful information may extend beyond the unwanted band. If the stopband is too broad or poorly centered, the filter can alter signal content that should remain intact. Selecting the target frequency, bandwidth, and attenuation carefully allows engineers to reduce interference while limiting distortion in the neighboring portions of an audio, control, or other signal.
Engineers first identify the unwanted frequency, then select a center frequency that aligns with it. They choose the bandwidth to limit the affected region and set attenuation according to the required level of suppression. Finally, they implement the response with reactive components or calculated digital coefficients. This sequence connects the interference characteristic to the filter design and its intended signal outcome.
Notch filters can address several narrowband interference problems, including power-line hum, electromagnetic interference, mechanical vibration tones, and unwanted feedback in audio or control systems. The common design need is a localized frequency disturbance rather than broad-spectrum noise. Matching the filter settings to that disturbance helps suppress the problem without unnecessarily changing most of the surrounding signal.
An appropriate selection reduces the unwanted component at its target frequency while leaving most neighboring signal content substantially intact. Engineers judge this balance through the chosen center frequency, stopband width, and attenuation level. In practical applications, the result is interference reduction with limited distortion, whether the affected system carries audio, control information, or another engineered signal.
