The protocol independent multicast-sparse mode (PIM-SM) protocol establishes core-base tree to forward multicast datagrams in a network. In PIM-SM, the core or rendezvous point (RP) of a group is determined at each multicast router by hashing a group address, i.e. a class-D IP address, to one of the candidate RPs. The hash function is characterized by its ability to evenly and uniquely choose t...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether ultrasound-derived prediction equations for estimating total and regional skeletal muscle (SM) mass in adults are applicable for prepubertal children and adolescents. Ten Japanese prepubertal children and twenty-one adolescents volunteered for the study. Contiguous MRI images with a 1 cm slice thickness were obtained from the first cer...

Abstract Change in nuclei deformation leads to changes statistical properties such as the nuclear level density (NLD) and γ-ray strength function (γSF). The NLD γSF of 151 Sm were extracted using Oslo method. scissors resonance (SR) its centroid energy for found be 2.13 ± 0.60 ...

This paper proposes a new sliding mode control (SMC)  based model reference adaptive system (MRAS) for sensorless indirect field oriented control (IFOC) of a single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM). The operation of MRAS speed estimators dramatically depends on adaptation mechanism. Fixed-gain PI controller is conventionally used for this purpose which may fail to estimate the speed correctl...

During top-seeded melt growth of YBa2Cu3O7-y (Y123) single-domained crystal, seed dissolution occurred while the seed is in contact with Ba-Cu-O liquid, and then the dissolved parts were resolidified during cooling. The growth mode of Y123 crystal was directly affected by the resolidification process of the dissolved part. When the melted part of the seed was resolidified to polycrystal, Y123 ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the in vivo technical feasibility, efficiency, and safety of switching bipolar (SB) and switching monopolar (SM) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a no-touch ablation technique in the porcine liver. MATERIALS AND METHODS The animal care and use committee approved this animal study and 16 pigs were used in two independent experiments. In the first experiment, RFA was perfo...

Introduction: The coupled Sm-Nd systematics of lunar samples has been extensively studied for estimating the timescale of lunar differentiation [1-3]. The published datasets yield consistent ages for Nd isotopic closure within the lunar mantle of ~200 Myr after CAI formation. Although this time constraint is consistent with estimates derived from Hf-W chronometry of the Moon (>60 Myr after CAI ...

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocols: PIM-SM (Sparse Mode), BIDIR-PIM (Bidirectional), and PIM-DM (Dense Mode). This document is part of work in progress to obsolete RFC 2934, and is ...
