A dynamic MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol demonstrator for ATM PON (Passive Optical Network) was realised and tested. The prototype is based on a SuperPON transport system, which allows implementing downstream grants per ONT (Optical Network Termination) or subdivided per T-Cont class (Transfer Container) and upstream requests by piggybacking or dedicated polling slots. The demonstrator pl...

Overlapping Schwarz methods are considered for mixed finite element approximations of linear elasticity, with discontinuous pressure spaces, as well as for compressible elasticity approximated by standard conforming finite elements. The coarse components of the preconditioners are based on spaces, with a number of degrees of freedom per subdomain which is uniformly bounded, and which are simila...

Results: There were over 77 million estimated hospital admissions in the period evaluated, of which 271 983 were associated with dysphagia. Dysphagia was most commonly associated with fluid or electrolyte disorder, esophageal disease, stroke, aspiration pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and congestive heart failure. The median number of hospitalization days for all patients with dysphagia was...
