In this paper, we propose a routing technique to alleviate packet loss due to transient link failures, which are major causes of disruption in the Internet. The proposed technique based on Alternate Next Hop Counters (ANHC) allows routers to calculate backup paths and re-route packets accordingly, thereby bypassing transient failures. This technique guarantees full repair coverage for single li...

In Dictyostelium, the RtoA protein links both initial cell-type choice and physiological state to cell-cycle phase. rtoA- cells (containing a disruption of the rtoA gene) generally do not develop past the mound stage, and have an abnormal ratio of prestalk and prespore cells. RtoA is also involved in fusion of endocytic/exocytic vesicles. Cells lacking RtoA, although having a normal endocytosis...

Romance fraud occurs when offenders use the guise of a genuine relationship to defraud victim, typically via online communications. Research has focused on general structure romance frauds, but few scholars have considered potential link between victimization and specific narratives employed by offenders. This article explores reported victimizations group Australians similarities differences i...

UNLABELLED Talus bipartitus is a rare skeletal variation. Several causative factors have been proposed, but none of them seem to be convincing. We hypothesize that talus bipartitus may result from ossification disruption in neonatal period caused possibly by an infection. The observations supporting this link are discussed. The hypothesis is supported by two cases with symptomatic talus biparti...

supplier selection is one of the most critical activities of purchasing management in supply chain and managers increasingly face sourcing decisions of how to selected suppliers. this paper illustrates the development of a sourcing decision that provides support for the buyer firm in supply chain.the models developed here, involved selecting between single and dual sourcing. outside and local s...

Vascular risk factors play a critical role in the development of cognitive decline and AD (Alzheimer's disease), during aging, and often result in chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. The neurobiological link between hypoperfusion and cognitive decline is not yet defined, but is proposed to involve damage to the brain's white matter. In a newly developed mouse model, hypoperfusion, in isolation, pro...

Breastfeeding improves maternal and child health. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, with continued breastfeeding for at least 1 year. However, in the US, only 18.8% of infants are exclusively breastfed until 6 months of age. For mothers who initiate breastfeeding, the early post-partum period sets the stage for sustained breastfeeding. Mothers w...

Network survivability, reflecting the ability of a network to maintain an acceptable level of service during and after failures, is an important requirement for WDM optical networks due to the ultrahigh capacity. The most common network failure is the link failure which could cause enormous data loss and lots of service disruption to Internet users. Although single-link failures are the most co...
