In DiffServ-enabled mobile network systems, TCP sender may time out if packet loss occurs at handover event. Thus, TCP window size may be reduced temporarily due to packet loss. Under overloaded traffic situation in local IP-managed network right after handover, furthermore, the sending rate of TCP packets that a mobile host generates may not be enough to keep its contract service rate on SLA (...

eLife editors and reviewers consult with one another before sending out a decision after peer review. This means that authors do not have to spend time responding to confusing or conflicting requests for revisions.

Sending money in cryptocurrencies is majorly based on public keys or their hashed forms—“addresses.” These long random-looking strings are user unfriendly for transferring by other means than via copyand-paste or QR codes. Replacing such strings with identifiers chosen by users themselves would significantly improve usability of cryptocurrencies. Such identifiers could be memorable, easier to w...

The discovery of nitric oxide as a signaling molecule began with studies on the mechanism by which blood vessels relax and constrict, processes known as vasodilation and vasoconstriction. In addition to their desire to understand the basic biology of these processes, scientists recognized its medical importance, as drugs that promote vasodilation could aid in the treatment of cardiovascular dis...

Human MENA(11a) (hMENA(11a)), an epithelial-associated isoform of the actin binding protein enabled homolog (ENAH, also known as mammalian ENA [MENA]), is upregulated and phosphorylated following the activation of human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) 1, HER2, and HER3. Here, we reveal a novel role of this isoform in sustaining cell survival and propose hMENA(11a) as a marker of HER3 act...

performance   evaluation in regular periods is one of the ways in which organizations can   evaluate their performance as well as weak and strong points unifiedly and   precisely. these days, mathematical models are also used to evaluate the   efficiency and productivity of various units. these units are a collection of   education, research and service activities as input and output factors an...
