background: human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) causes severe immunosuppression due to progressive decrease in the cd4 t lymphocyte cells during the course of the disease and this affects all the body systems including glandular secretions. a number of lesions affecting the salivary glands have been noted in hiv infection. the objective of this study was to evaluate the salivary ph and the buffe...

The present paper presents the rst steps towards a theory to build Robust Nonlinear Predictive Control based on Fuzzy Models. The main idea behind this theory is to write the Predictive Control Problem as a Robust Optimization problem and apply Semideenite Programming to solve in a eecient way the optimization. The information about the plant behavior and its uncertainties will be provided by t...

Using the frameworK of cyclic-service systems with a single server, two different token-passing models are investigated. The first model is approximate, obtaining the free-taken's cycle-time distribution on an asymmetric system with infinite capacity buffers and single-token operation. The second model is exact. yielding the cycle-time distribution of the free-token on an asymmetric system with...

BACKGROUND The overall effect of vasoactive drugs on blood pressure is determined by a combination of the direct effect on vascular tone and an indirect baroreflex-mediated effect, a baroreflex buffering of blood pressure. Differences in baroreflex function affect the responsiveness to vasoactive medications, particularly baroreflex buffering of blood pressure; however, the magnitude is not kno...

In this letter, we study the effect of adaptive transmission on performance coded-caching based networks. Particularly, concentrating reduction backhaul peak load during high traffic periods, develop rate and power allocation schemes maximizing network successful probability, which is defined as average probability that cache nodes decode their intended signals correctly. Moreover, different me...

Tits paper describes the collection and analysis of supercomputer I/O traces and their use in a collection of buffering and caching simulations. TJ,As serves two purposes. First, it gives a model of how individual applications running on supercomputers request f'fl¢ system I/0, allowing system designers to optimize I/0 hardware and file system algorithms to that model. Second, the buffering sim...

We describe a novel buffering technique for increasing the A-scan rate of swept source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) systems employing low duty cycle swept source lasers. This technique differs from previously reported buffering techniques in that it employs a fast optical switch, capable of switching in 60 ns, instead of a fused fiber coupler at the end of the buffering stage, and is th...

A promising option to raising busty interchange in system communication could be Optical Burst Switched (OBS) networks among scalable and support routing effective. The routing schemes with disputation resolution got much interest, because the OBS network is buffer less in character. Because the deflection steering can use limited optical buffering or actually no buffering thus the choice or de...
