Today’s local-area, mesh and cellular networks assign a single narrow-band channel to a node, and this assignment remains fixed over long time scales. Using network traces, we show that the load within a network can vary significantly even over short time scales on the order of tens of seconds. Therefore, we make the case for allocating spectrum ondemand to nodes and regions of the network that...

BACKGROUND Many children in the remote Fitzroy Valley region of Western Australia have prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). Individuals with PAE can have neurodevelopmental impairments and be diagnosed with one of several types of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Fine motor skills can be impaired by PAE, but no studies have developed a comprehensive profile of fine motor skills in a populati...

We study the pion spectrum (and in particular taste-symmetry breaking within it) using HYPsmeared valence staggered fermions on the coarse and fine MILC lattices (which have asqtad staggered sea quarks). We focus on the dependence on lattice spacing and sea-quark mass. We also update our results on source dependence. Our main conclusion is that on the MILC fine lattices the appropriate power-co...

Present communication describes a case of a young female patient suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis associated with delayed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of lung. Timely diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and knowledge of the spectrum of clinical and radiologic features. This case report emphasizes the importance of diagnostic evaluation like thoracic computed tomography scan (CT) an...

This brief presents a reconfigurable fast filter bank (RFFB) with less gate counts for wireless communication applications such as spectrum sensing and channelization. RFFB offers fine control over subband bandwidth without any reimplementation. This is accomplished with an improved modified frequency transformation-based variable digital filter (MFTVDF) at the first stage of the multistage imp...

We consider random recursive fractals and prove fine results about their local behaviour. We show that for a class of random recursive fractals the usual multifractal spectrum is trivial in that all points have the same local dimension. However, by examining the local behaviour of the measure at typical points in the set, we establish the size of fine fluctuations in the measure. The results ar...
