In wireless cellular networks, a roaming mobile station (MS) is expected to move from one cell to another. It is essential to ensure that, when a MS traverses from one cell to another, an ongoing connection of that MS is not dropped. Pre-reservation schemes allow the reservation of bandwidth for an ongoing call in an adjacent cell before the MS moves into that cell, so that the call is sustaine...

The dynamics of resource request rates in a Grid system can be wide-ranging, to the point that request peaks for a single resource can be difficult to handle and end up greatly increasing the response time. Once a request has been submitted by a client, this has to cope with the potential overload showing up. However, it is impractical to cure overload once it takes place, by negotiating a diff...

It has been argued that the reservation system in India, which has existed since the time of Indian Independence (1947), has caused more havoc and degradation than progress. This being a popular public opinion, these notions have not been based on any rigorous scientific study or research. In this paper, we revisit the cultural divide among the Indian population from a purely social networks ba...

Do Reservation Wages Really Decline? Some International Evidence on the Determinants of Reservation Wages Using cross-country data, we investigate the determinants of reservation wages and their course over the jobless spell. Higher unemployment benefits lead to higher reservation wages. Further, again consistent with the basic search model, repeated observations on the same individual provide ...

This paper describes and evaluates distributed wavelength reservation protocols for all{optical WDM networks. These protocols are essential for applying WDM techniques to large scale all{optical networks. The protocols ensure that the wavelengths on the links along a path are reserved before communication takes place. A message is transmitted using the reserved wavelengths and remains in the op...

Early channel reservation schemes have increasingly become more important for providing quality of services (QoS) in the All-IP network. In order to effectively provide the necessary QoS and optimize the channel management, we present an early channel reservation scheme based on mobile movement history. The basic principle behind this design is to view the reported sequence of location data as ...

introduction: alloimmunization is a reaction of the immune system to foreign antigens. for prevention of alloantibody formation, performing of type and screen test is necessary on a patient's blood specimen as part of pre-transfusion testing. materials and method: in this cross-sectional study, type and screen test done for 1420 patients with elective surgery for detection of alloantibody in im...

This memo discusses the applicability of "Extensions to RSVP (Resource ReSerVation Protocol) for LSP Tunnels". It highlights the protocol’s principles of operation and describes the network context for which it was designed. Guidelines for deployment are offered and known protocol limitations are indicated. This document is intended to accompany the submission of "Extensions to RSVP for LSP Tun...

In a laboratory experiment we show that minimum wages have significant and lasting effects on subjects’ reservation wages. The temporary introduction of a minimum wage leads to a rise in subjects’ reservation wages which persists even after the minimum wage has been removed. Firms are therefore forced to pay higher wages after the removal of the minimum wage than before its introduction. As a c...
