Dynamic RSVP for mobile IPv6 in wireless networks (2002)

Wireless communications services are widely used and growing rapidly. To make mobile stations and notebook computers for connection to the Internet is now a must. It is believed that RSVP can provide guaranteed bandwidth and QoS during the multimedia transmission over the Internet. Many members of the Internet research and industry community have already contributed to the design and development of RSVP. Dynamic RSVP (DRSVP) proposed by us can provide different reserved bandwidth needed by different video resolutions to different receiver nodes, because the display devices used in the receiver nodes might be different. In this paper, we further expand DRSVP to support mobile IPv6-based hosts (nodes) in wireless networks with performance analysis. It provides four important characteristics when the mobile receiver host moves to a new network domain. First, it provides a more flexible mechanism to adjust the reserved resource on nodes, including receiver node(s), sender node and intermediate node(s) along the reserved path. Second, it does not waste precious resource and bandwidth on the Internet to transmit unnecessary multimedia traffic. Third, it achieves low switching latency. Fourth, it accomplishes a short packet transmission time after the new re-routing path is established. Most important, it can dynamically adjust the transmitted MPEG-4-based traffic without costing many efforts, when the available resource and bandwidth change.
UNCTAD II, III, IV, V, VI 1968–83 (1987)

From the beginning UNCTAD II was seen by the ldcs as concerned with practical results; its theme was 'Action and Achievement'. At the third session of the UNCTAD Board in 1966 the consensus was that the conference should be selective in its search to achieve practical results, and should concentrate on ways and means of implementing the recommendations of UNCTAD I. Raul Prebisch, its Secretary-General, made a statement in which he stressed that a clear difference should exist between the nature and scope of the agenda of UNCTAD I and II — 'In 1964 there was as yet no machinery for dealing with matters of trade and development and therefore it was justified to cover the whole range of problems in relation to trade and development ... It is not a matter of selecting what is more or less important but of choosing those matters concerning which concrete action may be envisaged.'1 He then outlined the concept of the 'points of crystallisation' according to which certain topics should be singled out for specific emphasis.KeywordsInternational Monetary FundInternational Monetary SystemInternational Economic OrderCommon FundCommonwealth CountryThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Dietary fatty acid quality affects AR and PPARγ levels and prostate growth (2009)

Prostatic growth is influenced by dietary fatty acids with concurrent variation in the expression of AR and PPARgamma. PPARgamma might represent the link between diet and prostate growth and AR expression and function. Since the levels of testosterone were altered it is also possible that prostatic changes are secondary to systemic effects of the diet.
Development of Mica Glass‐Ceramic Glazes (2004)

The effect of iron content on crystallization of a mica glaze as coating for fast firing stoneware substrates has been investigated. Measurements by differential thermal analysis (DTA) combined with X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have shown the development of preferential crystal orientation in the mica glass‐ceramic glaze. By comparison with amorphous and partly crystalline glazes, an enhancement of the mechanical properties of coatings with aligned and interlocked crystals of mica has been observed.
Photoaffinity Labeling of the<i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>Chloroquine Resistance Transporter with a Novel Perfluorophenylazido Chloroquine (2008)

Several models describing how amino acid substitutions in the Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (PfCRT) confer resistance to chloroquine (CQ) and other antimalarial drugs have been proposed. Further progress requires molecular analysis of interactions between purified reconstituted PfCRT protein and these drugs. We have thus designed and synthesized several perfluorophenyl azido (pfpa) CQ analogues for PfCRT photolabeling studies. One particularly useful probe (AzBCQ) places the pfpa group at the terminal aliphatic N of CQ via a flexible four-carbon ester linker and includes a convenient biotin tag. This probe photolabels PfCRT in situ with high specificity. Using reconstituted proteoliposomes harboring partially purified recombinant PfCRT, we analyze AzBCQ photolabeling versus competition with CQ and other drugs to probe the nature of the CQ binding site. We also inspect how pH, the chemoreversal agent verapamil (VPL), and various amino acid mutations in PfCRT that cause CQ resistance (CQR) affect the efficiency of AzBCQ photolabeling. Upon gel isolation of AzBCQ-labeled PfCRT followed by trypsin digestion and mass spectrometry analysis, we are able to define a single AzBCQ covalent attachment site lying within the digestive vacuolar-disposed loop between putative helices 9 and 10 of PfCRT. Taken together, the data provide important new insight into PfCRT function and, along with previous results, allow us to propose a model for a single CQ binding site in the PfCRT protein.
Complex knee reconstruction: articular cartilage treatment options (2003)

m c t d s w w p o c d t c hysicians have known for over 250 years that articular cartilage damage is a “troublesome thing nd once destroyed, it is not repaired.”1 Although hondral lesions that penetrate to or through the subhondral bone may fill with fibrocartilage, the biomehanical and biochemical features remain inferior to yaline cartilage.2-4 Unlike the recognized poor progosis of the meniscectomized knee, the natural history f chondral lesions remains far more speculative. At his juncture, treatment recommendations are for those esions believed to be contributing to a patient’s sympoms and are not generally directed toward asymptomtic lesions. Clinical experience has taught us that fter these lesions become symptomatic (a cause of ain, swelling, mechanical symptoms), they tend to ersist or inexorably progress over an indeterminate ime course. On one end of the spectrum, small full-thickness artilage lesions in low-demand patients can fill in ith fibrocartilage and may render a patient asympomatic. On the other end, large osteochondral lesions n higher-demand patients are less likely to develop a linically significant fibrocartilagenous healing reponse and more frequently result in pain and disabilty.3,5 The treatment algorithm is evolving and may be onstrued as a spectrum of options ranging from those hat are considered palliative (arthroscopic debrideent and lavage), reparative (marrow stimulation
Distribution channels in Japan (1996)

Uncovers the facts and fallacies of the Japanese distribution channel and presents proactive distribution strategies with their managerial benefits, for the successful penetration of the Japanese market. Frustrated US policy makers and business representatives have been crying “foul” for years over the difficulties in penetrating the Japanese market. They believe that a web of formal and informal Japanese trade barriers prevent US companies from getting a fair chance to sell their products in Japan. The Japanese distribution channel is often symbolic of such barriers. In general, it is characterized as closed and complex with multiple layers of middlemen leading to a large number of small‐scale “mom‐and‐pop” retail stores. Due to its non‐conventional structure, the Japanese distribution channel often has been misunderstood by many Westerners and subsequently such misunderstanding has led to unnecessary trade disputes with the Japanese government.
A testable model for stoppable clock ASICS (2002)

A testable model for globally asynchronous ASICs is presented. These circuits operate without a global clock and are useful for pipelined or data-driven architectures. The ASIC can be partitioned into several locally clocked modules and control is distributed throughout these modules. A test methodology is presented which partitions each locally clocked module into synchronous and asynchronous components in test mode. Design for testability techniques are used to further simplify the testing process.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A breathing manikin model for teaching nasotracheal intubation to ems professionals (1997)

For EMS professionals, a training session for NTI using a relatively inexpensive and easily assembled breathing manikin model increases both comfort and self-assessed skill level.
Continuous Ceramic Fibres (1990)

Continuous ceramic fibres have many unique properties, including high-temperature durability and high elastic modulus. Their properties make them particularly valuable for use in metal and ceramic composites for automotive, aerospace, and heat-management structural applications. This paper reviews the various fabrication methods used to make ceramic fibres and the properties of many of the oxide and non-oxide continuous fibres that are commercially available or in development. Their low elongation to break sometimes makes fibre-processing techniques such as weaving and braiding difficult. Important applications, particularly composite reinforcement, continue to drive the development of processing techniques to make composite preforms and other fibre structures.
An in vitro airway wall model of remodeling (2003)

Recent studies have shown that mechanical forces on airway epithelial cells can induce upregulation of genes involved in airway remodeling in diseases such as asthma. However, the relevance of these responses to airway wall remodeling is still unclear since 1). mechanotransduction is highly dependent on environment (e.g., matrix and other cell types) and 2). inflammatory mediators, which strongly affect remodeling, are also present in asthma. To assess the effects of mechanical forces on the airway wall in a relevant three-dimensional inflammatory context, we have established a tissue culture model of the human airway wall that can be induced to undergo matrix remodeling. Our model contains differentiated human bronchial epithelial cells characterized by tight junctions, cilia formation, and mucus secretion atop a collagen gel embedded with human lung fibroblasts. We found that addition of activated eosinophils and the application of 50% strain to the same system increased the epithelial thickness compared with either condition alone, suggesting that mechanical strain affects airway wall remodeling synergistically with inflammation. This integrated model more closely mimics airway wall remodeling than single-cell, conditioned media, or even two-dimensional coculture systems and is relevant for examining the importance of mechanical strain on airway wall remodeling in an inflammatory environment, which may be crucial for understanding and treating pathologies such as asthma.
[Knockout of the ptsG gene in Escherichia coli and cultural characterization of the mutants]. (2004)

Metabolic engineering provide powerful tools for the systematic manipulation of cellular metabolic activities. The ptsG gene for glucose-specific transporter Enzyme II CBGlc of the phosphotransferase system was knock-out so as to reduce the accumulation of acetic acid in the high cell-density culture of Escherichia coli on excess glucose. The chloramphenicol-resistant cassette with short shared sequences on both ends generated by PCR was electroporated into Escherichia coli DH5alpha and JM109. Recombination between linear DNA cassettes and Escherichia coli chromosomes took place by Red recombinase functions. Therefore, the ptsG gene was disrupted to construct the mutants called DH5alphaP and JM109P. There was no difference between the mutants and parent strains in LB media.However, in LB media supplemented with glucose, the mutants of Escherichia coli deficient in ptsG showed greater biomass, together with exploiting more glucose. The maximal cell density obtained with DH5alphaP was approximately 3 times more than that of DH5alpha, then the result of JM109P increased fourfold. The products of recombinant protein TNF respectively accounted for 24.3% of total cellular protein in DH5alphaP with A600 8.28 and 20.8% of total cellular protein in JM109P with A600 7.62. The specific volume expression amount of TNF was greater in the ptsG mutant than in its parent strain. These results demonstrate that the ptsG-mutant strains will be available for high cell-density culture.
Design and Optimization of an NMR Flow Cell for a Commercial NMR Spectrometer (1987)

We have developed an interface for analytical scale high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/NMR and flow injection analysis (FIA)/NMR. FIA/NMR is less demanding than LC/NMR, so the flow cell was designed to minimize LC/NMR problems and allow the use of a commercial NMR probe for detection. The cell reported here is simple to construct, has reasonable sensitivity, and has good resolution.
Both intravenous lidocaine and morphine reduce the pain of postherpetic neuralgia (1991)

We studied the analgesic efficacy of an intravenous infusion of lidocaine and morphine in 19 adults with well-established postherpetic neuralgia in a three-session, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Compared with saline placebo, both lidocaine and morphine reduced pain intensity. Reductions in pain did not correlate with side effects produced by the infusions. For morphine, there was a significant correlation between reductions in pain intensity and blood level achieved. In the majority of subjects who reported definite pain relief, allodynia also disappeared. The results show that neuropathic pain can respond to opioids and to systemically administered local anesthetic drugs.
Perceptual Optimization of Playout Buffer in Voip Applications (2006)

Packet delay and loss are two essential problems to real-time voice transmission over IP networks. In the proposed system, the playout delay is adaptively adjusted based on a simplified version of the conversational-quality E-model. Perceptual-based buffer design is formulated as an unconstrained optimization problem leading to a better balance between end-to-end delay and packet loss. Experimental results show that the proposed playout buffer algorithm can achieve the optimum perceived speech quality under various network conditions.
Adaptive HCI-aware power gating structure (2010)

This paper presents the hot-carrier-injection (HCI)-induced delay degradation of the power gating structure as well as the HCI impact on critical issues in the power gating, such as leakage power, wake-up time, and wake-up rush-current. Considering this HCI impact, a novel adaptive HCI-aware power gating structure is proposed to compensate for the performance loss and the increased wake-up time of the power gating structures induced by the HCI effect. The proposed structure consists of variable width footers based on the two-pass power gating and a new HCI monitoring circuit, which is imperative for a good adaptive technique. The simulation results are compared to those of power gating without the adaptive technique and show that both the circuit-delay and wake-up time dependence of the power gating structure on the HCI stress is minimized with only 2% and 3% increase, respectively while keeping small leakage power and rush-current. The proposed technique is evaluated using ISCAS85 benchmark circuits which are designed using 45 nm CMOS predictive technology model.
Zur Frage der Proteindenaturierung im gefrorenen Fischfleisch (1975)

To inhibit the rapid deterioration of the production-technological properties of fish meat minced and frozen on board, it is necessary to become acquainted with the causes of protein denaturation under these conditions. It was found that the protein solubility in codfish is impaired by formaldehyde which develops from trimethyl-amine oxide during storage and also by the salt content. After 7 days at -20 degrees C, the solubility of the sarcoplasmic and myofibrillary proteins in minced fish meat added with 80 mg of formaldehyde per 100 g of total protein amounted to almost 70% and 35%, respectively, of the value determined in controls, i.e., samples without formaldehyde. After this period of storage, only 30% of the added formaldehyde were in the free state. After 1 month, the solubility of the myofibrillary proteins in waterleached fish meat was by 30% higher than in unleached controls, 80 mg of formaldehyde per 100 mg of total protein having been added in both cases. After 1 month at -5 degrees C and -20 degrees C, only 90 and 15 p.p.m. of formaldehyde, respectively, were found in minced fish meat, whereas leached samples contained no formaldehyde. The solubility of the myofibrillary proteins in leached fish meat (the initial salt content of which had been restituted) was by 30% lower than in the unleached controls.
CACHE COHERENCE PROTOCOLS FOR LARGE-SCALE MULTIPROCESSORS (1990)

Caches have the potential to provide multiprocessors with an automatic mechanism for reducing both network traffic and average memory access latency. However, cachebased systems must address the problem of cache coherence. This thesis presents the results of the search for a cache coherence solution for Alewife, a large-scale multiprocessor being built at MIT. The research focuses on coherence protocols that use a directory, a list of cached copies of data, to avoid the need for a system-wide broadcast mechanism. The structure and the implementation of a number of coherence schemes are evaluated with coupled and decoupled simulation techniques. In addition to comparing the protocols in terms of hardware overhead and performance, the thesis reports on the experience gained by implementing several different schemes in ASIM, the Alewife machine simulator. The protocol search reaches two major conclusions: First, by using system-level optimizations, it is possible to use caches to build la...
Compensatory seeding in networks with varying avaliability of nodes (2013)

Diffusion of information in social networks takes more and more attention from marketers. New methods and algorithms are constantly developed towards maximizing reach of the campaigns and increasing their effectiveness. One of the important research directions in this area is related to selecting initial nodes of the campaign to result with maximizing its effects represented as total number of infections. To achieve this goal, several strategies were developed and they are based on different network measures and other characteristics of users. The problem is that most of these strategies base on static network properties while typical online networks change over time and are sensitive to varying activity of users. In this work a novel strategy is proposed which is based on multiple measures with additional parameters related to nodes availability in time periods prior to the campaign. Presented results show that it is possible to compensate users with high network measures by others having high frequency of system usage, which, instead, may be easier or cheaper to acquire.

Wide bandwidth adaptive digital predistortion of power amplifiers using reduced order memory correction (2008)

Adaptive digital predistortion (DPD) with memory correction is made challenging when the observation bandwidth used to measure the output signal is narrower than the discernable intermodulation (IMD) products generated by the input signal and power amplifier nonlinearity. This is likely to occur when the input signal has a wide bandwidth and the PA has severe nonlinearities, as in the case of a Doherty PA. Wide bandwidth signals tend to stimulate the memory effects within the PA requiring memory correction to be included in the DPD. However, if in the pursuit of additional memory correction the number of basis waveforms used is over-specified relative to the measurable output signal bandwidth, the estimation of the memory coefficients will be ill-conditioned. This paper proposes a method based on eigenvalue decompositions to reduce the order of the memory coefficient estimation. It also shows how measurements from multiple narrow bandwidth observations can be combined to increase the available rank of the estimation and improve the overall cancellation performance. Experimental results obtained using a RF test bench comprising a Doherty PA and a 20 MHz input signal demonstrate the relationship between the available order of the estimation, the number of observation bandwidths used, and the performance of the wide bandwidth IMD cancellation.
A Novel Paradigm for Underwater Monitoring Using Mobile Sensor Networks (2020)

This paper presents a novel autonomous environmental monitoring methodology based on collaboration and collective decision-making among robotic agents in a heterogeneous swarm developed within the project subCULTron, tested in a realistic marine environment. The swarm serves as an underwater mobile sensor network for exploration and monitoring of large areas. Different robotic units enable outlier and fault detection, verification of measurements and recognition of environmental anomalies, and relocation of the swarm throughout the environment. The motion capabilities of the robots and the reconfigurability of the swarm are exploited to collect data and verify suspected anomalies, or detect potential sensor faults among the swarm agents. The proposed methodology was tested in an experimental setup in the field in two marine testbeds: the Lagoon of Venice, Italy, and Biograd an Moru, Croatia. Achieved experimental results described in this paper validate and show the potential of the proposed approach.
