This paper provides an overview of an implementation of Differentiated Services interior and boundary nodes as described in the SIMA model. The operation of the network nodes was verified with a series of measurements in a simple networking environment. These measurements also give some idea about the level of Quality of Service this kind of mechanism is able to provide.

The aim of this study was to analyze the association between BIMA use and long-term survival in patients who underwent primary isolated CA...

An F(1) mutagenesis strategy was developed to identify conditional mutations affecting extracellular matrix (ECM) patterning. Tubulogenesis requires coordinated movement of epithelial cells and deposition of a multilayered ECM. In the Drosophila ovary, an epithelium of follicle cells creates the eggshells, including the paired tubular dorsal appendages (DAs) that act as breathing tubes for the ...
