The trend to enable virtualisation of mobile core network functions through softwarisation is driven by recent efforts in improving the flexibility and configuration of the network in order to meet the requirements of a wide and dynamic array of new services. The focus on improving network configuration rises because traditional network deployments require the replacement of hardware equipment ...

Normal full-term infants were followed by serial transcutaneous bilirubinometry over the first week of life. The pattern of physiologic jaundice in our population was similar to that shown for white infants. Mean maximum bilirubin peak was seen on day four of life and was also similar to that shown for American white infants. The incidence of non physiologic hyperbilirubinemia defined as 2...

“GZK photons” are produced by extragalactic nucleons through the resonant photoproduction of pions. We present the expected range of the GZK photon fraction of UHECR, assuming a particular UHECR spectrum and primary nucleons, and compare it with the minimal photon fraction predicted by Top-Down models. The Pierre Auger Observatory [1] may prove photon fractions in the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic R...

In software-defined networks (SDN), the separation of the control and data-plane moves the concurrency control from the data-plane to a separate, now logically centralized controller program. As a result, despite its intention to simplify programming, the separation forces the programmer to deal with a spectrum of concurrent events (e.g. execution of controller programs, in-flight packets), a t...

We present a complete mathematical theory of two-body quantum mechanics for a class of potentials which is larger than the usual L-classes and which includes potentials with singularities as bad as r~ + . The basic idea is to define H0 4V as a sum of quadratic forms rather than as an operator sum.
