This paper analytically studies performance improvement with traffic dispersion for QoS guaranteed applications. In the analysis, we suppose that connection admission control based on the effective bandwidth is performed in packet network. Numerical results exhibit that traffic dispersion can greatly reduce the total effective bandwidth required by a source and the blocking rate of sources.

Pancuronium, Org 6368 and gallamine were compared in control cats and in cats with experimental cholestasis. A decrease in the plasma clearance and a prolongation of neuromuscular blockade with Org 6368 and pancuronium were found in the latter; no significant difference was detected in the biotransformation pattern of Org 6368 and pancuronium compared with controls. Inhibition of hepatic uptake...

The effect of dexamethasone, given thrice weekly, on neuromuscular blocking by D-tubocurarine was studied in mice. Dexamethasone antagonised the effect of D-tubocurarine. This antagonism developed gradually during the first two weeks of treatment. The possible relationship between this finding and the beneficial effect of glucocorticosteroids in patients with myasthenia gravis is discussed.
