This document contains recommendations to be taken into account when using methods which optimize bandwidth utilization through Tunneling Compressing and Multiplexing (TCM) traffic flows over a network path. Different multiplexing policies and implementation issues which are service and link specific are discussed. Additionally, this document describes policies which can be used for detecting, ...

Hand infections can be associated with considerable morbidity. Expeditious treatment is needed to minimize permanent dysfunction, loss of work, and medical cost. Hand infections can affect the skin, subcutaneous tissues, fascia, subfascial and synovial spaces, joints, and bone. Pathogens include a variety of bacteria, viruses, yeasts, fungi, and mycoplasmata. Management frequently involves rest...

OBJECTIVE The prevalence of bleeding disorders, notably von Willebrand disease (vWD), among adult women with objectively documented menorrhagia is consistently reported to be 10% to 20% and is even higher in adolescents presenting with menorrhagia. OPTIONS Diagnostic tools and specific medical and, where appropriate, surgical alternatives to management are reviewed and evidence-based recommen...

concerns about increasing bacterial resistance to vancomycin, have caused the adult treatment guidelines to recommend higher trough concentrations based on the type and location of infectious disease. although these recommendations are not specific to children, the values can be extrapolated. this prospective study was designed to evaluate efficacy of current vancomycin dosing recommendations t...

Quality assurance in medical services has become a more and more important issue. In order to achieve reliable results of DNA image cytometry as described and discussed in detail in the first part of this report [2], the conditions for reproducible preparation, measurement and interpretation have to be worked out, carefully followed and checked at various steps of the process in certain time in...

Making accurate recommendations for cold-start users has been a longstanding and critical challenge recommender systems (RS). Cross-domain (CDR) offer solution to tackle such problem when there is no sufficient data the who have rarely used system. An effective approach in CDR leverage knowledge (e.g., user representations) learned from related but different domain transfer it target domain. Fi...
