We propose a dynamic load balancing scheme for the tele-traac hot spot problem in cellular networks. A tele-traac hot spot is a region of adjacent hot cells where the channel demand has exceeded a certain threshold. A hot spot is depicted as a stack of hexagonaìRings' of cells and is classiied as complete if all cells within it are hot. Otherwise it is termed incomplete. The rings containing al...

OBJECTIVES To assess whether lifestyle factors, specifically smoking and body mass index (BMI), are associated with the occurrence of any, moderate to severe, or daily hot flashes. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among women aged 40-60 years residing in the Baltimore metropolitan area who reported their history of hot flashes through a mailed survey. Logistic regression was used...

Acquisition of sporadic community-acquired legionnaires' disease has been linked to hot springs and whirlpool baths. Outbreaks of hot spring-associated legionnaires' disease were reported in Japan in the last few years. Although the mode of transmission is unclear, the presence of Legionella in hot springs may discourage hot springs resort visits by the general public. An environmental survey w...

Sun et al. (Reports, 19 October 2012, p. 366) reconstructed Permian to Middle Triassic equatorial seawater temperatures. After correct temporal positioning of their data points, their presumed trends of temperature changes, and hence their assumption of a one-to-one relationship between putative "lethally hot" seawater temperatures and a disputable equatorial "eclipse" of some organisms, are no...

different symptoms in climacteric period, includes hot flash. hormone replacement therapy (hrt) is common therapy for relief of menopausal symptoms but has possible contraindications and side effects. recently piascledine (combination of avocado oil with soybean oil) showed effects in reducing hot flash severity. present study designed to compare the effects of hrt with piascledine in treatment...
