In this paper, in order to improve fairness index of TCP flows, we propose the TSW3CDM_FS(Time Sliding Window Three Color Dynamic Marker with Flow Status) based on average transfer rate estimation. The proposed algorithm is based on dynamic marking policy that allocates band-width in proportion to transmission rate of flows. From simulation results, the TSW3CDM_FS algorithm improves fairness in...

We applied the respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) quantification algorithm to 24-hour ECG recordings of Chagas disease (ChD) patients with (G1, n=148) and without left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) (G2, n=33), and in control subjects (G0, n=28). Both ChD groups displayed a reduced RSA index; G1=299 (144-812); G2=335 (162-667), p=0.011, which was correlated with vagal indexes of heart rate varia...

BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation limited to the mucosal layer of the colon. Calprotectin is a zinc and calcium binding protein derived from neutrophils and monocytes. It is easily detectable in tissue samples, body fluids, and stools, which makes it a potentially valuable marker of inflammation. The aim of the current study is to evaluate...

The usefulness of IRAP (inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism) and ITS-RFLP (restriction of PCR-amplified internal transcribed spacers of the rDNA) markers in the analysis of 39 Pyrenophora graminea isolates was determined. Each marker system could discriminate between all of the isolates in detecting polymorphism, albeit with variable efficiency. IRAP and ITS-RFLP produced 85% and 77% p...

Balloon expandable stents can be used to treat coronary stenosis. During stent implantation, X-ray imaging is used. In order to assist the doctors, it was decided to improve the cardiovascular stents’ X-ray absorption ability by placing a unique marker in the stent strut. Tantalum powder, with 98% purity and 3-10 μm grains diameter, was used as the stent integrated marker. The stents were laser...

When a finite group freely acts on topological space, we can define its index and coindex. They roughly measure the size of given action. We explore interaction between this theory dynamics. Given fixed-point free dynamical system, set [Formula: see text]-periodic points admits natural action text] for each prime number text]. are interested in growth coindex as Our main result shows that there...

Marked-assisted genetic improvement of agricultural species exploits statistical dependencies in the joint distribution of marker genotypes and quantitative traits. An issue is how molecular (e.g., dense marker maps) and phenotypic information (e.g., some measure of yield in plants) is to be used for predicting the genetic value of candidates for selection. Multiple regression, selection index ...

In social neuroscience research, startle eyeblink modification can serve as a marker of emotion, but it is less clear whether it can also serve as a marker of prejudice. In Experiment 1, 30 White students viewed photographs of White and Black targets while the startle eyeblink reflex and facial EMG from the brow and cheek regions were recorded. Prejudice was related to facial EMG activity, but ...

Background: Certain marker studies have practical importance in the biology of prostate cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the quantification of certain neuroendocrine and proliferative markers obtained during transurethral resection or prostatectomy, would help in the prognostic evaluation of prostatic adenocarcinomas. Methods: The present study was performed on samples...

background and objective: serum creatinine is the most used endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate (gfr), but it also has multiple limitations. therefore, some surrogate gfr markers, such as beta trace protein, have been introduced for gfr estimation. the aim of our study was to estimate gfr by serum beta trace protein using three available equations and compare them to dtpa gfr as the...
