Bud exudates from 9 poplars showing a range o f resistance to bacterial canker and poplar rust were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and the components o f the bud exudate identified. Those compounds previously reported in the literature to have notable antimicrobial activity were listed and the quantities present in the bud exudates o f the speci­ mens analyzed were compared. N...

Metro Ethernet networks (MENs) technology has provided economic sustainability to small and big enterprises. Today, individual and organizations rely on ICT to perform daily operations. The costs of using these services determine the accessibility of the users. MEN is flexible to use compare with other switch network like ATM. In this paper, features of MEN technology are explored to determine ...

The quantities of total and free guanine, adenine, hypoxanthine, and six of their methylated derivatives and of 6-succinoaminopurine have been measured in urine speci mens from cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis of the liver, and from normal subjects. Total base was defined as the sum of the free purine plus the increment released by means of acid hydrolysis. Analyses were per form...

Mobile edge caching/computing (MEC) has been emerging as a promising paradigm to provide ultra-high rate, ultra-reliable, and/or low-latency communications in future wireless networks. In this paper, we introduce novel MEC network architecture that leverages the optimal joint caching-delivering with horizontal cooperation among mobile nodes (MENs). To end, first formulate content-access delay m...
