In this paper, we propose charging schemes for ATM networks based on the concept of virtual effective bandwidths (VEB). VEBs were initially developed by the authors to support real-time Connection Admission Control (CAC) in a framework where traffic sources with different quality of service (QoS) requirements are multiplexed into the same finite length queue [6]. VEBs allow different QoS requir...

Purpose. To evaluate the clinical applicability of a telemonitoring system: telemetric system for collection and distant surveillance of medical information (TEMEO). Methods. We evaluated 60 patients, applying simultaneously standard Holter ECG and telemonitoring. Two different comparisons were performed: (1) TEMEO ECG with standard 12-lead ECG; (2) TEMEO Holter with standard ECG Holter. Result...

OBJECTIVES To decipher the mechanisms and their associated genetic determinants responsible for β-lactam resistance in a Proteus mirabilis clinical isolate. METHODS The entire genetic structure surrounding the β-lactam resistance genes was characterized by PCR, gene walking and DNA sequencing. RESULTS Genes encoding the carbapenemase NDM-1 and the ESBL VEB-6 were located in a 38.5 kb MDR st...

For the first time, CJEU has ruled in VEB v BP on court competent for deciding liability suits regarding misinformation secondary securities market. Surprisingly, Court localises damage resulting from financial markets at a single place, that where instruments question were listed. This raises of how decision can be squared with earlier cases like Kolassa or Löber and other precedent. It is als...
