This document describes how to connect pseudowires (PWs) between different Packet Switched Network (PSN) domains or between two or more distinct PW control plane domains, where a control plane domain uses a common control plane protocol or instance of that protocol for a given PW. The different PW control plane domains may belong to independent autonomous systems, or the PSN technology is heter...

BACKGROUND Sorafenib was tested for neoadjuvant treatment with an anthracycline/taxane-based chemotherapy in the open-label, multicentre, single-arm phase II study, 'SOFIA'. PATIENTS AND METHODS INCLUSION CRITERIA WERE: HER2 negative, cT3, cT4 or cT2 cN+, M0 primary breast cancer. Patients received 4 × epirubicin 90 mg/m(2) and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m(2) (EC) intravenously (i.v.) in 3-weekl...

macrocyclops albidus and cyclops vicinus are the two important copepods living in hazar lake.for this study, 50 females for each species were collected. samples were taken between december 1999 andmarch 2000. length (pl), width (pw), and height (ph) of prosome and length (ul) and width (uw) ofurosome were measured in each female and subsequently, the following ratios pl/pw, pl/ph, pw/ph,pl/ul a...

Pyrococcus woesei ( Pw ) is an archaeal organism adapted to living in conditions of elevated salt and temperature. Thermodynamic data reveal that the interaction between the TATA-box-binding protein (TBP) from this organism and DNA has an entirely different character to the same interaction in mesophilic counterparts. In the case of the Pw TBP, the affinity of its interaction with DNA increases...

PURPOSE To compare the observer variability of the conventional region-based (RB) to the typical and proposed pixel-wise (PW) methods for cardiac T2* analysis in thalassemia patients. DESIGN AND METHODS Fifty thalassemia major patients were enrolled for the study. Short-axis bright- and black-blood sequences were acquired and analyzed using the RB and PW methods. Regions were defined using th...

BACKGROUND The most crucial factor in hair transplantation for male pattern baldness (MPB) patients is the efficient utilization of the donor-recipient ratio. However, there is no known factor that scientifically predicts the rate of progression of alopecia or indicates a permanently safe donor area. METHODS The study considered 1,008 Korean adult males with MPB; of these, it excluded 56 male...

This document describes a mechanism for signaling the active and standby status of redundant Pseudowires (PWs) between their termination points. A set of Redundant PWs is configured between Provider Edge (PE) nodes in single-segment pseudowire (SS-PW) applications or between Terminating Provider Edge (T-PE) nodes in Multi-Segment Pseudowire (MS-PW) applications. In order for the PE/T-PE nodes t...

This document specifies the mapping and notification of defect states between a pseudowire (PW) and the Attachment Circuits (ACs) of the end-to-end emulated service. It standardizes the behavior of Provider Edges (PEs) with respect to PW and AC defects. It addresses ATM, Frame Relay, Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), and Synchronous Optical Network / Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH) PW...
