Alternative Best-E ort (ABE) is a novel service for IP networks which o ers applications the choice between receiving a lower end-to-end delay and receiving more overall throughput. Every best e ort packet is marked as either green or blue. Green packets receive a low, bounded queueing delay. To ensure blue packets do not su er as a result, green ows receive less throughput during bouts of cong...

We have used a proper combination of multiband high-resolution HST-WFPC2 and wide-field ground based observations to image the galactic globular cluster NGC 6266 (M62). The extensive photometric data set allows us to determine the center of gravity and to construct the most extended radial profile ever published for this cluster including, for the first time, detailed star counts in the very in...

Cardiac arrest is common in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and associated poor survival. Simulation frequently used to evaluate train code teams the goal of improving outcomes. All participants engaged training on donning doffing personal protective equipment for suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases. Thereafter, simulations in-hospital cardiac COVID-19, so-cal...

The diet of the brown skua (Catharacta skua loÈnnbergi) was studied at Mayes Island, Kerguelen archipelago, by collection of prey remains on 11 territories during the complete breeding cycle of the species there. In nine territories, collections were daily or every two days for a quantitative investigation of the diet. The blue petrel (Halobaena caerulea) and thin-billed prion (Pachyptila belch...

PURPOSE This study investigated multifocal pupillographic objective perimetry (mfPOP) stimuli that target the intrinsic photosensitivity of melanopsin retinal ganglion cells. The diagnostic potential for glaucoma is compared between stimuli biased toward either cone input to these cells or their melanopsin response. METHODS Nineteen glaucoma patients and 24 normal subjects were tested using m...

A globule frequently refractory, appearing blue, pale blue, or white with Giemsa stain, is characteristic of the intraerythrocytic stages of the type species and of most of the other species included at present in the subgenus Novyella. This globule is absent from the other Plasmodium sub-genera. An ultrastructural study has been performed on schizogonic stages of Plasmodium merulae from the bl...
