Request Distribution Strategy WARD Ludmila Cherkasova and Magnus Karlsson Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, 1501 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, CA 94303 e-mail: fcherkasova,[email protected] Abstract. In this work, we consider a web cluster in which the content-aware distribution is performed by each of the node in a web cluster. Each server in the cluster may forward a request to another node based...

We present TWIST, a scalable and flexible testbed architecture for indoor deployment of wireless sensor networks. The design of TWIST is based on an analysis of typical and desirable uses of sensor network testbeds. In addition to providing basic services like node configuration, network-wide programming, out-of-band extraction of debug data and gatewaying of application data, the architecture ...

 Objective(s): Lymph node metastases are the most significant prognostic factor in localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Identification of the first nodal drainage site (sentinel node) may improve detection of metastatic nodes. Extended surgeries, such as lobectomy or pneumonectomy with lymph node dissection, are among the therapeutic options of higher acceptab...

kawasaki disease (kd) is an acute vasculitis syndrome of unknown etiology. it occurs in infants and young children, affecting mainly small and medium-sized arteries, particularly the coronary arteries. generalized microvasculitis occurs in the first 10 days, and the inflammation persists in the walls of medium and small arteries, especially the coronary arteries, and changes to coronary artery ...

adenosquamous carcinomas of stomach are rare entities comprising 0.5% of stomach carcinomas. here, we report a case of a 50-year-old female, who presented with weakness, pallor, and symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction. a partial gastrectomy was done and histology showed evidence of adenosquamous carcinoma of the antrum with metastasis to the perigastric lymph nodes. the patient condition imp...

The line-commutated converter-based high-voltage direct-current (LCC-HVDC) transmission has become one of the main forms to deliver wind power in China. However, due connections a large number electronic devices (PEDs), there emerges risk sub/super-synchronous oscillations DFIG-based base with LCC-HVDC transmission. existing multi-node system analysis methods have ignored frequency coupling cha...

the biggest challenges faced in big cities are greenhouse gas emission and growing energy needs. efficient utilization of existing infrastructures has a prominent role in response to the challenges. energy hub approach embraces performance of different energy networks. energy hub is defined as a super node in electrical system receiving distinctive energy carriers such as gas and electricity in...

Herein, we report a case of sentinel lymph node mapping in a uterine cervix cancer patient, referring to the nuclear medicine department of our institute. Lymphoscintigraphy images showed inappropriate intra‐cervical injection of radiotracer. Blue dye technique was applied for sentinel lymph node mapping, using intra‐cervical injection of methylene blue. Two blue/cold sentinel lymph nodes, with...

This paper investigates the use of redundancy and self repairing against node failures indistributed storage systems using a novel non-MDS erasure code. In replication method, accessto one replication node is adequate to reconstruct a lost node, while in MDS erasure codedsystems which are optimal in terms of redundancy-reliability tradeoff, a single node failure isrepaired after recovering the ...
