The file transfer committee met and discussed the Mail Box Protocol RFC 221, NIC 7612. The potential utility for the mechanism was confirmed and a couple of changes suggested. We first give the changes and then restate the Protocol. CHANGES 1) The Mail Box Protocol is only to allow ASCII stings of text formatted for a network standard line printer rather than allowing other data types. 2) A new...

For a connected graph, a vertex separator is a set of vertices whose removal creates at least two components and a minimum vertex separator is a vertex separator of least cardinality. The vertex connectivity refers to the size of a minimum vertex separator. For a connected graph G with vertex connectivity k (k ≥ 1), the connectivity augmentation refers to a set S of edges whose augmentation toG...

INTRODUCTION Serum blood collection tubes with separator gel are widely used by many laboratories for chemistry analyses. We describe a case of a primary blood collection tube filled with blood sample and a floating separator gel. MATERIALS AND METHODS The blood sample was collected from a 51 years old female in intensive care unit with the diagnosis of pneumonia into a BD Vacutainer SST tube...

the sharp upper bounds and the sharp lower bounds of the largest eigenvalues $lambda_1$, the least eigenvalue $lambda_n$, the second largest eigenvalue $lambda_2$, the spread and the separator among all firefly graphs on $n$ vertices are determined.

A thermodynamic approach is presented to classify geothermal reservoir as vapor or liquid dominated. According to it, the vapor dominated reservoir has specific volume of fluid (i.e. combined vapor and liquid) greater than the critical volume of water whereas the liquid dominated reservoir has lesser specific volume. Enthalpy is not a conservative entity in a geothermal system. Apart from it, t...

This study investigates the asymptotic performance of the quadratic discriminant function (QDF) under skewed training samples. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the QDF under skewed distribution considering different sample size ratios, varying the group centroid separators and the number of variables. Three populations [Formula: see text] with increasing group ...

Running a refrigeration cycle at saturated liquid conditions at the evaporator inlet has a few interesting advantages in comparison to the conventional 2-phase situation. Opportunities in using novelty heat exchangers, increased cycle efficiency and significantly reduced main compressor sizes occur. Using the two rotor integrated compressor/expander idea developed by Olofsson (1993) in a refrig...

Maximization of flow through the network has remained core issue in the field of optimization. In this paper a new advanced network problem is introduced, i.e., a multi-commodity network with a separator. This network consists of several sub-networks linked through a commodity separator. The objective is to maximize the flow of the commodity of interest from the commodity mixture at the output ...

The aim of this work is to construct a computational fluid dynamics model capable of simulating the quasitransient process of apheresis. To this end a Lagrangian-Eulerian model has been developed which tracks the blood particles within a delineated two-dimensional flow domain. Within the Eulerian method, the fluid flow conservation equations within the separator are solved. Taking the calculate...

The TRIμP facility, under construction at KVI, requires the production and separation of short-lived and rare isotopes. Direct reactions, fragmentation and fusionevaporation reactions in normal and inverse kinematics are foreseen to produce nuclides of interest with a variety of heavy-ion beams from the superconducting cyclotron AGOR. For this purpose, we have designed, constructed and commissi...
