The diverse service requirements of emerging Internet applications foster the need for flexible and scalable IP quality-of-service (QoS) schemes. Due to its simplicity and scalability, DiffServ is expected to be widely deployed across the Internet. Though DiffServ supporting scheduling algorithms for output-queueing (OQ) switches have been widely studied, there are few DiffServ scheduling algor...

The inhibitory effects by the combined doses of bacteriostatic DDS and several immunostimulants on the growth of leprosy bacilli (LB) inoculated into the footpads of nude mice were examined, using a strain of hybrid nude mice named Jcl:AF-nu, which is resistible to infections more than strain BALB/c-nu. The results found were: 1. LB could proliferate up to 10(9) level in the footpads of this st...

In recent years, drug delivery systems (DDS) have been developed, along with anticancer agents for those systems based on the concept of achieving a better clinical response and tolerability. Several clinical trials have shown that these drugs have better clinical effects in the treatment of many cancers, leading to their expanded indications. Liposomal doxorubicin is one DDS agent used to trea...

The phase locked loop(PLL) has been widely used in wireless communication systems due to the high frequency resolution and the short locking time. The Direct Digital Synthesis(DDS) is also an emerging and maturing signal generation technology. But another advanced technique in which, DDS signal is mixed with the voltage-control oscillator output in the PLL feedback path. This solution helps in ...

Introduction: Dietary diversity score (DDS) and Food variety score (FVS) are the appropriate measures used to evaluate the overall quality of dietary patterns. However, their associations with the serum levels of micronutrients remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the correlations between DDS/FVS and serum ferritin and magnesium status in the non-athlete femal...

The changes in dose distribution caused by backscatter radiation from a common commercial dental alloy (Au-Ag-Pd dental alloy; DA) were investigated to identify the optimal material and thicknesses of a dental device (DD) for effective prevention of mucositis. To this end, 1 cm3 of DA was irradiated with a 6-MV X-ray beam (100 MU) in a field size of 10 × 10 cm2 using a Novalis TX linear acceler...

Differential dependencies (DDs) capture the relationships between data columns of relations. They are more general than functional dependencies (FDs) and and the difference is that DDs are defined on the distances between values of two tuples, not directly on the values. Because of this difference, the algorithms for discovering FDs from data find only special DDs, not all DDs and therefore are...
