This document proposes unified Layer 2 (L2) abstractions for Layer 3 (L3)-driven fast handovers. For efficient network communication, it is vital for a protocol layer to know or utilize other layers’ information, such as the form of L2 triggers. However, each protocol layer is basically designed independently. Since each protocol layer is also implemented independently in current operating syst...

Plain bupivacaine 0.5% or 0.75% was injected intrathecally in four groups of 10 patients. Group A received 0.75% bupivacaine 2.7 ml at L3/4, group B 0.5% bupivacaine 4 ml at L3/4, group C 0.75% bupivacaine 2.7 ml at L2/3 and group D 0.75% bupivacaine 2 ml at L3/4. A very wide range of height of block was found in each group and because of this there were few statistically significant difference...

Infective larvae (L3) of two different batches of anthelmintic-susceptible Haemonchus contortus, cryopreserved for 15,6 and 15,7 years in liquid nitrogen appeared dead when examined 10-20 min after thawing. However, having become motile later in the day, their viability was tested the next day in two separate groups of sheep. The mean development of 41,8% and 66,3% of the H. contortus compared ...

A 45-year-old man presented to our clinic requesting evaluation for surgical treatment of chronic low back pain of more than 20 years duration. He was diagnosed with 3-level lumbar spondylolysis at L3-5. Direct repair using the pedicle screw and hook-rod system was conducted for all three levels. After the surgery, his low back pain completely disappeared. Six months later, he felt discomfort a...

The paper aims to investigate the sources of crosslinguistic influence in the acquisition of voice onset time patterns in third language phonology. Thirty two learners of L3 French with L1 Polish and L2 English were recorded reading lists of words in carrier phrases in the three respective languages. The recordings were analyzed for the degree of aspiration of voiceless stops in stressed onset ...

Resistance to linezolid (LZD) occurs through mutations in 23S rRNA and ribosomal proteins L3 and L4 or through methylation of 23S rRNA by Cfr. Here we report novel L3 mutations, ΔSer145/His146Tyr and ΔMet169-Gly174, co-occurring with cfr in LZD-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates recovered from a hospital outbreak in Madrid, Spain. LZD MIC values (16, 32, or 64 μg/ml) correlated with the p...

There is a scarcity of research into the relationship between speech perception and production from multilingual perspective. The present exploratory study investigates longitudinally acquisition rhotic sounds in 24 adolescent learners who have same language repertoires (English, German, Polish), with English being their L2, German Polish L1 or L3. design involved forced-choice goodness task (f...

This study explores the reading strategies (RSs) of bilingual and monolingual young learners in their first second languages (L1 L2, respectively)—either Kazakh or Russian as L1 L2—and English a foreign language (L3). It also examines influence RSs on learners’ performance comprehension tests three languages. The test results showed significant differences L1, L3.The for achievement were genera...

The segmental ligand 2-[6-(N,N-diethylcarbamoyl)pyridin-2-yl]-1,1'-dimethyl-5,5'-methylene-2'-(6-methylpyridine-2-yl)bis[1H-benzimidazole] (L3) reacts with a stoichiometric mixture of LnIII (Ln = La, Eu, Gd) and M(II) (M = Zn, Fe) in acetonitrile to produce selectively the heterodimetallic triple-stranded helicates (HHH)-[LnM(L3)3]5+. In these complexes, M(II) is pseudooctahedrally coordinated ...
