The effect of prior eccentric contractions on skeletal muscle lactate/H+transport was investigated in rats. Lactate transport was measured in sarcolemmal giant vesicles obtained from soleus and red (RG) and white gastrocnemii (WG) muscles 2 days after intense eccentric contractions (ECC) and from the corresponding contralateral control (CON) muscles. The physiochemical buffer capacity was deter...

To provide a better streaming experience, video clients today select their video rates by observing and estimating the available capacity. Recent work has shown that capacity estimation is fraught with difficulties because of complex interactions between the ABR control loop, HTTP server performance and TCP congestion control. Estimation-based rate selection algorithms can lead to unnecessary r...

We consider scheduling packets with values in a capacity-bounded buffer in an online setting. In this model, there is a buffer with limited capacity B. At any time, the buffer cannot accommodatemore than B packets. Packets arrive over time. Each packet has a nonnegative value. Packets leave the buffer only because they are either sent or dropped. Those packets that have left the bufferwill not ...
