This paper identifies two different parametrized dynamic priority queue disciplines, earliest due date (EDD) based and head of line priority jump (HOL-PJ), which are found to be mean waiting time complete in two class M/G/1 queue. An explicit one-to-one non linear transformation is obtained between earliest due date and delay dependent priority policy. Mean waiting time equivalence between thes...

Real-time video demands a stringent delay and jitter requirement. A switch in the network needs to implement an effective scheduling algorithm to meet such a requirement. The Jitter-EDD (Earliest-Due-Date) scheme designed for packet switching networks is noted for its capability to control the end-to-end delay jitter to be within the delay variation in the last switching node of the path. It, h...

Recently, a novel PCR-based technique, differential display (DD), has facilitated the study of differentially expressed genes at the mRNA level. We report here an improved version of DD, which we call Enhanced Differential Display (EDD). We have modified the technique to enhance reproducibility and to facilitate sequencing and cloning. Using EDD, we have generated and verified a catalog of gene...

M-mode echo recordings of the left ventricle (LV) and inflow LV Doppler velocimetry were performed in nine normal fetuses at a gestational age of 36-39 weeks. In each fetus approximately 80 consecutive cardiac cycles were digitized. The duration of each cardiac cycle (T) and the corresponding end-diastolic (EDD), end-systolic (ESD) dimensions of LV or the peak velocity of early (E) and late atr...

Introduction Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) is a new disorder that has been added to the category of mood disorders in fifth Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Mental Disorders distinguish chronic non-periodic irritability from periodic bipolar disorder. The main characteristic DMDD severe irritability. Because it diagnostic entity, little research done on literature subject still...

The objective of this paper is to study a selected set of scheduling criteria commonly used in scheduling research and develop a set of simple rules that can be easily implemented in relatively small dynamic job-shops. Simulation models were developed for two dynamic production shop environments, namely, a job-shop with jumbled flow and a job-shop with limited jumbled flow. Five scheduling crit...

BACKGROUND Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children ages 1-14 years; however, over the last few decades there has been a dramatic increase in survival in these individuals. Although free of cancer, survivors are faced with a variety of chronic health problems including an increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic abnormalities. The effect of cancer treatments on ...

In hypercholesterolemic rabbits, oral L-arginine (the substrate for endothelium derived nitric oxide) attenuates endothelial dysfunction and atheroma formation, but the effect in hypercholesterolemic humans is unknown. Using high resolution external ultrasound, we studied arterial physiology in 27 hypercholesterolemic subjects aged 29+/-5 (19-40) years, with known endothelial dysfunction and LD...

In 1990 Sakata and Sato applied the maximum entropy method (MEM) to a set of structure factors measured earlier by Saka and Kato with the Pendellosung method. They found the presence of non-nuclear attractors, i.e., maxima in the density between two bonded atoms. We applied the MEM to a limited set of Fourier data calculated from a known electron density distribution (EDD) of silicon. The EDD o...
