IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are a fundamental tool for enabling ubiquitous wireless networking. Their use has been essentially focused on best effort data transfer because the basic access methods defined in the 802.11 standard cannot provide delay guarantees to real-time flows. To overcome this limitation, the 802.11e working group has recently proposed the Hybrid Coordina...

The relationship between annual water level of Danube and annual catches of Pontic shad (Alosa immaculata, Bennett 1835) in Romania were analyzed. For analysis of long term data on the Danube water level and Pontic shad catch (1920-2013), combinations of different methods were applied using programs Statistica, SPSS 13.0 and MATLAB 6. Periodograms, containing cyclic patterns, were obtained usin...

We present a case of isolated congenital hyposplenism that was discovered after the peripheral smear revealed Howell-Jolly bodies. This case serves as the basis for a review of hyposplenism for the general practitioner.

Methods All HCF in Northern France participating in the practices study were requested by electronic way to answer an on-line questionnaire with the following items: protocol of care (creation, reactualization, diffusion, accessibility), organization and practices (formations, working groups, traceability documents, data transmission, monitoring), change of material or products (catheters, glov...

We constructed annual abundance of a migratory baleen whale at an oceanic stopover site to elucidate temporal changes in Bermuda, area with increasing anthropogenic activity. The North Atlantic humpback whales visiting Bermuda between 2011 and 2020 was estimated using photo-identification capture-recapture data for 1,204 whales, collected December 2009 May 2020. Owing sparse set, we combined Co...

During the routine examination of sternal marrow smears it was observed that the presence of nuclear fragments in red cell precursors, commonly known as Howell-Jolly bodies, was usually associated with clear evidence of vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency. Moreover, this seemed to be so even when the megaloblastic transformation of erythropoiesis was not well developed. With further experience...
