Link dimensioning is generally considered as an effective and (operationally) simple mechanism to meet (given) performance requirements. In practice, the required link capacity C is often estimated by rules of thumb, such as C = d ·M, where M is the (envisaged) average traffic rate, and d some (empirically determined) constant larger than 1. This paper studies the viability of this class of ‘si...

T HE KINETIC CHAIN OF THE BODY The concept of the Kinetic Chain has been referred to by mechanical engineers as a link system. This link system has been described . as a series of overlapping. rigid segments which are connected by pin joints. If both ends of this system are fIxed to an immovable frame. translations at both the proximal and/or distal ends are impossible. Movement of one joint in...

conclusions this study highlights the close link between the role of the phrenic nerve and pulmonary function, such that the use of this nerve as a transfer donor leads to spirometric impairments. results all patients regained biceps power to m3 strength or above. none of our patients experienced pulmonary problems or respiratory complaints, but a significant reduction of spirometric parameters...

In the framework of tube model, survival fraction dilated tube, φʹ(t), is essential since relaxation entire system described according to this quantity. However, a method define it in multi-chain simulations has yet be considered. study, primitive chain network were performed, and few structural quantities discussed as possible candidates for use φʹ(t). Before analysis, simulation was evaluated...

The link between thyroid dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases has been recognized for more than 100 years. Although overt hypothyroidism leads to impaired cardiac function and possibly heart failure, the cardiovascular consequences of borderline low thyroid function are not clear. Establishment of a suitable animal model would be helpful. In this study, we characterized a rat model to study ...

This paper presents a new data structure, called dynamic subtrees, which manipulates an undirected forest. The data structure supports three main operations cut, link and comp. A cut operation splits a tree into two by cutting an edge of the tree; a link operation joins two trees by linking two arbitrarily speciied vertices of the trees; a comp operation computes a function f(S) = f(v 1)f(v 2):...

Let n be an even positive integer, and m<n one of its divisors. In this paper, inspired by the work Tang et al. (2017) [23] on constructing large classes bent functions from known ones, we consider construction vectorial plateaued (n,m)-functions form H(x)=G(x)+g(x), where G is a (n,m)-function, g Boolean function. We find efficient generic method to construct such kind (plateaued) establishing...
