802.11 Buffers: When Bigger Is Not Better?
While there have been considerable advances in the modelling of 802.11’s MAC layer in recent years, 802.11 with finite buffer space is considered difficult to analyse. In this paper, we study the impact of finite buffers’ effect on the 802.11 performance, in view of the requirements of interactive applications sensitive to delay and packet loss. Using both state-of-the art and simplified queuei...

What is medical science all about? Surely it is about the value chain, which begins with basic research and ends—if there is an end— with a useful product. There is a widespread perception that scientists do a lot of basic research, but neglect the application of their findings. To remedy this, a number of organizations and philanthropists have become dedicated advocates of applied or translati...
متن کاملPredicting restenosis: bigger is better but not best.
The ability to accurately predict restenosis after angioplasty continues to be elusive, despite two decades of clinical and angiographic studies. Although these studies have shown that a number of clinical, procedural, and angiographic factors are related to recurrence of the stenosis, the overall predictive value of these factors remains low.1 Angiographic factors have been most extensively st...
