Reply to ARP Walker

Reply to Walker et al.

TO THE EDITOR—We thank Walker et al for their interest in our work [1]. Our study found no evidence of difference in clinical severity of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) between patients infected with ribotype 027/078 strains compared with others, when adjusted for other co-variates [2]. Adjustment for factors on the hypothesized causal pathway between exposure (ribotype) and outcome (sev...

Reply to Walker and Stickgold: Proposed boundary conditions on memory reconsolidation will require empirical verification.

Broadly speaking, nonreplications of the kind we reported (1) can occur for three reasons: (i) the original finding was a false-positive, (ii) the replication was a false-negative, or (iii) some unanticipated variablemoderated the effect. The authors of the original study, Walker and Stickgold (2), now propose several potential moderators (3). We welcome such discussion; however, we should note...

Using ARP to implement transparent subnet gateways

Status of this Memo This RFC describes the use of the Ethernet Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) by subnet gateways to permit hosts on the connected subnets to communicate without being aware of the existence of subnets, using the technique of "Proxy ARP" [6]. It is based on RFC-950 [1], RFC-922 [2], and RFC-826 [3] and is a restricted subset of the mechanism of RFC-925 [4]. Distribution of thi...

From Passive Dynamic Walking to Passive Turning of Biped walker

Dynamically stable biped robots mimicking human locomotion have received significant attention over the last few decades. Formerly, the existence of stable periodic gaits for straight walking of passive biped walkers was well known and investigated as the notion of passive dynamic walking. This study is aimed to elaborate this notion in the case of three dimensional (3D) walking and extend it f...
