In this paper, we carry out a simulation of a Radio over Fiber (RoF) link with VPI Transmission Maker, and Rohde&Schwarz (R&S) equipments. The VPI simulations perform optical path degradations for multiple radio modulation formats without using any specific radio numerical tools, while a Generator and a Vector Analyser are used for radio generation and reception.

The Vibrio pathogenicity island (VPI) in epidemic Vibrio cholerae is an essential virulence gene cluster. Like many pathogenicity islands, the VPI has at its termini a phage-like integrase gene (int), a transposase-like gene (vpiT), and phage-like attachment (att) sites, and is inserted at a tRNA-like locus (ssrA). We report that the VPI precisely excises from the chromosome and that its left a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of injectable calcium hydroxylapatite for treatment of velopalatal (VP) insufficiency (VPI). DESIGN Observational case series of 7 patients treated with injectable calcium hydroxylapatite for VPI and followed for 10 to 24 months. SETTING Academic pediatric otolaryngology practice. PATIENTS Seven children aged 6 to 16 years with clinically significant VPI...

Inspired by the dynamic clamp of cellular neuroscience, this paper introduces VPI -- Virtual Partner Interaction -- a coupled dynamical system for studying real time interaction between a human and a machine. In this proof of concept study, human subjects coordinate hand movements with a virtual partner, an avatar of a hand whose movements are driven by a computerized version of the Haken-Kelso...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To find an anatomical measurement of the cleft palate (or a calculated parameter) that predicts the occurrence of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) after palatal cleft repair. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Charts were reviewed from cleft palate patients who underwent palatoplasty by the Von Langenbeck technique for isolated cleft palate or Bardach t...

The performance of an integrated architecture for full-duplex IP-over-ATM processing is evaluated through detailed simulation. The architecture combines processing, memory, and multiple direct-memory-access engines for single-chip implementation. The simulation models the segmentation and reassembly operations needed to translate IP frames to and from a fixed ATM cell size. A key operation is t...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To describe a modification of the originally described superiorly based pharyngeal flap as a secondary operation to correct velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) in patients with nonsyndromic repaired cleft palate. STUDY DESIGN Prospective clinical trial at university medical center. METHODS Twenty-six patients with VPI after cleft palate repair underwent a modified poste...

Clostridium sp. strain TO-931 can rapidly convert the primary bile acid cholic acid to a potentially toxic compound, deoxycholic acid. Mixed oligonucleotide probes were used to isolate a gene fragment encoding a putative bile acid transporter from Clostridium sp. strain TO-931. This DNA fragment had 60% nucleotide sequence identity to a known bile acid transporter gene from Eubacterium sp. stra...

The problem of computing Craig interpolants in SMT has recently received a lot of interest, mainly for its applications in formal verification. Efficient algorithms for interpolant generation have been presented for some theories of interest –including that of equality and uninterpreted functions (EUF), linear arithmetic over the rationals (LA(Q)), and some fragments of linear arithmetic over t...
