Adaptive Multi-Path routing (AMP) is a new simple algorithm for dynamic traffic engineering within autonomous systems. In this paper, we describe an AMP variant which is related to the well-known Optimized Multi-Path (OMP) routing protocol. Whereas OMP requires global knowledge about the whole network in each node, the AMP algorithm is based on a backpressure concept which restricts the distrib...

In this research, an architecture called the Agent-based Mobility Protocol (AMP) comprising a multi-agent system residing in both the mobile host(s) and the access networks has been developed for the purpose of enhancing mobility management in IP-based networks. The agent system on the mobile host was designed and subsequently built using an agent development platform called Agent Builder Pro. ...

BACKGROUND The benefit of antibiotics in leptospirosis is limited when treatment is started four days after symptoms appear, and new adjuvant therapeutic options are urgently needed. METHODS Hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) were infected by Leptospira interrogans strain L1-130, and groups were assigned based on no treatment (NONE), thalidomide only (TAL), ampicillin only (AMP) or both (AMP-TAL...

UNLABELLED While attention modification programs (AMP) have shown promise as laboratory-based treatments for social anxiety disorder, trials of internet-delivered AMP have not yielded significant differences between active and control conditions. To address these inconsistencies, we examined the moderational and mediational role of attention bias in the efficacy of attention training. We compar...

Various 5'-nucleotidases (EC 3.1.3.5) exist in vertebrate tissues. The sequence and cDNA cloning of the membrane-bound ecto-5'-nucleotidase (e-N) and one of the cytosolic isoenzymes, IMP-preferring (c-N-II), but not the cytosolic AMP-preferring form (c-N-I), have been reported. While c-N-II has a broad tissue distribution, c-N-I is found only in vertebrate heart. The published data on substrate...

Efficient routing algorithms have always been among the core building blocks of any packet switching network. Whereas most routing protocols have primarily been designed for achieving network robustness and fast network convergence in the case of failures, the research interest in the routing of Internet traffic has recently extended towards traffic engineering, i.e., performance optimization o...

The AMP-dependent stimulation of the cyanide-insensitive respiration of Paramecium mitochondria was investigated. The nucleotides exhibiting a stimulatory effect on the cyanide-insensitive oxidation of pyruvate (+ malate) in a medium supplemented with EDTA or carboxyatractyloside were, in decreasing order of efficiency, AMP, GMP, IMP, UMP and TMP. On the other hand, ADP, ATP and cyclic AMP were...

Abstract. Deglaciations are characterized by the largest natural changes in methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) concentrations of past 800 000 years. Reconstructions millennial- to centennial-scale variability within these periods mostly restricted last deglaciation. In this study, we present composite records CH4 N2O from EPICA Dome C ice core covering penultimate deglaciation at temporal re...
