In this paper we analyse congestion in TCP over ATM-UBR, in particular the association between the congestion measures at the ATM physical and TCP transport layers. In addition to the commonly used metrics, cell loss ratio (CLR) and packet retransmission ratio (PRR) two new indicators, protocol level congestion association factor (PLCAF) and CLR-PRR correlation coe cient are used. CLR and PRR a...

Abstract COVID-19 shocked the world and provided a particular challenge for populist radical right (PRR) forces. We lay out three research questions that this special issue addresses through case studies of PRR in government Brazil, Hungary, Turkey US opposition France, Italy, Germany Spain: (1) How have actors responded to pandemic? (2) framed politics (3) What been effects pandemic on popular...

Performing a visually guided reach requires the ability to perceive the egocentric distance of a target in three-dimensional space. Previous studies have shown that the parietal reach region (PRR) encodes the two-dimensional location of frontoparallel targets in an eye-centered reference frame. To investigate how a reach target is represented in three dimensions, we recorded the spiking activit...

The World Health Organization recommends artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) for the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare efficacy, safety and tolerability of ACTs versus quinine and other non-ACT antimalarials. The median PCR-adjusted failure rate by days 28 to 63 in the non-ACT group w...

This paper presents the vibration model of a 3-prismatic–revolute–revolute (PRR) planar parallel manipulator (PPM) with three flexible intermedia links, utilizing linear transfer matrix method for multibody systems (MSTMM). The dynamic characteristics PRR PPM are also investigated. 3-PRR is derived, and equation each component in system, as well overall system obtained. whole determined using M...

Fructose consumption has increased dramatically during the past several decades, mostly as a result of the increased of fructose-based sweeteners. Epidemiological data indicate that this upward trend continued until recently. Excessive fructose intake has been linked to the epidemics of diabetes mellitus, obesity, renal failure, and hypertension. Many previous studies have reported that feeding...

We report on the functional cloning of a hitherto unknown member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily selected for its ability to confer susceptibility to herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection on a highly resistant cell line (J1.1-2 cells), derived by exposure of BHKtk- cells to a recombinant HSV-1 expressing tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). The sequence of herpesvirus Ig-like receptor...

The carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 regulates insulin sensitivity by promoting hepatic insulin clearance. Mice bearing a null mutation of Ceacam1 gene (Cc1(-/-)) develop impaired insulin clearance followed by hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, in addition to visceral obesity and increased plasma fatty acids. Because insulin resistance is associated with increased...

OBJECTIVES Data mining algorithms have been developed for the quantitative detection of drug-associated adverse events (signals) from a large database on spontaneously reported adverse events. In the present study, the commonality of signals detected by 4 commonly used data mining algorithms was examined. METHODS A total of 2,231,029 reports were retrieved from the public release of the US Fo...

We studied the characteristics of the pulmonary reimplantation response (PRR) in single-lung transplantation (SLT), and detailed the occurrence, evolution, prognosis and risk factors of this complication. Forty single-lung transplant recipients were studied. Twenty four patients developed hypoxaemia and allograft infiltrates consistent with the PRR. In 40% of the cases hypoxaemia was severe, pr...
