Addressed is the uplink access control problems for cellular CDMA systems that service heterogeneous traac with various types of quality-of-service (QoS) and use Multi-Code CDMA (MC-CDMA) to support variable bit rates. Considering its distinct QoS requirements, class-I real-time traac (e.g., voice and video) is diierentiated from class-II non-real-time traac (e.g., data). Connection-oriented tr...

An object-oriented modeling infrastructure using the Javabased, Silk simulation classes is defined that enables the simulation of multitasking, distributed systems using symmetric multiprocessors. The simulation infrastructure is being used to evaluate alternative architectures for embedded, distributed systems. We show how the underlying structure is adapted to several different applications, ...

conclusion a significant relationship exists between the type of facial skeletal classification and the shape of the sella turcica; as in class iii patients, sella turcica bridge was reported with a higher frequency. also, sella turcica had a significantly higher length in these patients than in those with class i and class ii facial skeletal types. results sella turcica had normal morphology i...

it is proved here that if $g$ is a locally graded group satisfying the minimal condition on subgroups which are not locally supersoluble, then $g$ is either locally supersoluble or a vcernikov group. the same conclusion holds for locally finite groups satisfying the weak minimal condition on non-(locally supersoluble) subgroups. as a consequence, it is shown that any infinite locally graded gro...
