Congestion in the network is increasing immensely due to the growth of usage of multimedia application. This lead to unresponsive and misbehaving traffic flows. There are few primitive scheduling schemes to control the congestion in the network, which worked only at end-to-end network, due which they were unable to prevent the congestion collapse and unfairness created by applications that are ...

In response to the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) pandemic of 2003 and the influenza pandemic of 2009, many countries instituted border measures as a means of stopping or slowing the spread of disease. The measures, usually consisting of a combination of border entry/exit screening, quarantine, isolation, and communications, were resource intensive, and modeling and observational stud...

The quenching of alternans is considered using a nonlinear cardiac conduction model. The model consists of a nonlinear discrete-time piecewise smooth system. Several authors have hypothesized that alternans arise in the model through a period doubling bifurcation. In this work, it is first shown that the alternans exhibited by the model actually arise through a period doubling border collision ...

One of the major advantages of face recognition, compared to other biometrics, is the ease-of-use: no contact with the sensor, fast, in-line with the human way of recognizing people. In a border control scenario, fully automated gates using face recognition have now been deployed. As a passenger may use an automated solution only once in his life, the deployed system must operate with as little...

Glutamine uptake was examined in isolated renal brush-border and basolateral-membrane vesicles from control and acidotic rats. In brush-border vesicles from acidotic animals, there was a significant increase in the initial rate of glutamine uptake compared with that in controls. Lowering the pH of the medium increased the initial rate of glutamine uptake in brush-border vesicles from acidotic, ...

Those who follow politics know that the borders between countries regulated suggesting that WNTs could be decisive for NPB fate acquisican cause disagreements and sometimes evenwar, and that border control is an ongoing source of controversy. A different—but not less controversial—border is established during embryogenesis in vertebrates: the neural plate border (NPB) that separates neural and ...

Biometric data have been integrated in all new European passports, since the member states of the European Commission started to implement the EU Council Regulation No 2252/2004 on standards for security features and biometrics in passports. The additional integration of three-dimensional models promises significant performance enhancements for border controls. By combining the geometryand text...

To thoroughly prepare the expected start of the European Visa Information System (VIS) in 2011, Germany has implemented and evaluated the biometric visa border control process in a dedicated pilot project. In addition to implementing all necessary software modules for the access to the VIS, the focus of the project was set on the new feature of fingerprint biometrics. Fingerprint verification i...

Wireless Sensors Network (WSN) combine sensing, signal processing, decision capability, and wireless networking capability in a compact, low power system. Among countries, border protection is a sensitive issue and measures are being taken to improve security at the borders. In addition to physical fencing, smart methods using technology are being employed to increase the alertness of security ...

Stationary-to-migratory transitions of epithelial cells have a key role in development and tumour progression. Border cell migration is a powerful system in which to investigate this transition in living organisms. Here, we identify the Ste20-like kinase misshapen (msn) as a novel regulator of border-cell migration in Drosophila. Expression of msn in border cells is independent of the transcrip...
