Provisioning multiple paths can improve fault tolerance and transport capability of multi-routing in wireless networks. Disjoint paths can improve the diversity of paths and further reduce the risk of simultaneous link failure and network congestion. In this paper we first address a many-to-one disjoint-path problem (MOND) for multi-path routing in a multi-hop wireless network. The objective of...

UNLABELLED The aim of the study was to determine the occurrence of UFLs and the dynamics of their development, as well as to evaluate the histopathology and relationship with regressive stromal changes. 3750 uterine specimens were reviewed during the period between 1984 and 2003. In the examined series of 3750 uteruses removed due to tumors or prolapse, 50 cases with four types of changes were ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Management of hyperphosphatemia, a predictor of mortality in chronic kidney disease, is challenging. Nonadherence to dietary phosphate binders, in part, contributes to uncontrolled serum phosphorus levels. This phase IIIb trial assessed the efficacy of increased dosages (3000 to 4500 mg/d) of reformulated lanthanum carbonate (500-, 750-, and 1000-mg tablets) in nonresp...

Flexible pressure sensors usually exhibit high sensitivity, excellent resolution, and can be mass-produced. Herein, a high-resolution, capacitive, paper-based, 3D-printed sensor with simple, low-cost preparation method is proposed. The has wide detection range (300–44,000 Pa), short response time (<50 ms), mechanical stability during repeated loading/unloading (3750 Pa). It measure the weigh...

Toman fish is a pure carnivore which so far has used wild catches as its entire diet. Alternative feed with high animal protein and easy to obtain needs be done. Fermentation activities using tempe yeast can usually increase the content of material. Studies on use fermented maggot for toman seed have not yet obtained sufficient information, in-depth research this matter really This study aims a...
