The Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) needs to recover its state information after a control plane failure, so that the established connections in the data plane are not disrupted by any new connection set-up. We propose a backup mechanism to store the LDP state information in an upstream neighbour node. The backup LDP state information is synchronized with the original LDP state information in...

The method of state machine replication, adopting a single strong Leader, has been widely used in the modern cluster-based database systems. In practical applications, the recovery speed has a significant impact on the availability of the systems. However, in order to guarantee the data consistency, the existing Follower recovery protocols in Paxos replication (e.g., Raft) need multiple network...

ventricular fibrillation is the cause of the most sudden deaths. the recent findings have clearly proved the correlation between the slope of restitution curve with ventricular fibrillation. cellular automata is a powerful tool for simulating complex phenomena in a simple language. in this paper, a simple model is proposed for the simulation of the property of restitution in a single cardiac ce...

the goal of this study was to determine the effects of the l-type calcium channel blockers verapamil and diltiazem on the currents of voltage-gated potassium channel (fkv1.4δn), an n-terminal-deleted mutant of the ferret kv1.4 potassium channel. measurements were made using a two electrode voltage clamp technique with channels expressed stably in xenopus oocytes. the fkv1.4δn currents displayed...
