This paper presents a new algorithm for dynamic routing of bandwidth guaranteed tunnels where tunnel routing requests arrive one-by-one and there is no a priori knowledge regarding future requests. This problem is motivated by service provider needs for fast deployment of bandwidth guaranteed services and the consequent need in backbone networks for fast provisioning of bandwidth guaranteed pat...

The behavioral and electrophysiological responses of males and females of the Mexican fruit fly Anastrepha ludens (Loew) to guava ( Psidium guajava L.) volatiles were investigated in laboratory tests. Males and females were significantly more attracted and landed more often on guava fruits than yellow spheres used as control in the wind tunnel. Also, both sexes were more attracted to Porapak Q ...

abstract   background: the pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with increased intracarpal canal pressure. recently, palmaris longus has been introduced as an independent risk factor for the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. the purpose of this study was to assess the association of carpal tunnel syndrome with the presence of palmaris longus tendon and functional superfi...

BACKGROUND Wrist anthropometrics and posture have been implicated in the development of carpal tunnel syndrome, yet it remains unclear how external measurements relate to carpal tunnel parameters in neutral and non-neutral postures. The purposes of this study were (i) to evaluate the effect of slice orientation on several indices of carpal tunnel size and shape and (ii) to examine the relations...

This value analysis brief presents information on the design features and potential procedural benefits of using the DePuy Synthes Mitek Sports Medicine SPEEDTRAPTM Graft Preparation System, a whipstitch suture delivery device created to simplify soft-tissue graft preparation. The SPEEDTRAP System is designed to apply uniform, consistent whipstitches to the graft faster and easier than traditio...

Rock failure is the root cause of geological disasters such as slope failure, civil tunnel collapse, and water inrush in roadways mines. Accurate effective monitoring loaded rock process can provide reliable precursor information for inrushes underground engineering structures mines, tunnels, subways. The may affect safe efficient execution these structures. Therefore, it essential to predict e...
