This paper presents a novel generic weight-based network bandwidth sharing policy and an available bit rate (ABR) algorithm that achieves this policy. Our policy supports the minimum cell rate (MCR) requirement and peak cell rate (PCR) constraint of each connection and allocates network bandwidth among all connections based on a weight associated with each connection. To achieve this policy for...

Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) is an auditory evoked potential extracted from ongoing electrical activity in the brain. ABR is especially used for newbornand children hearing screening, auditory threshold estimation, and brainstem lesion detection in response to stimuli such as click sound, tone burst or chirp. In order to support clinical decision making the analysis of ABR signals must exh...

In ATM networks, the Available Bit Rate (ABR) service enables data sources to ee-ciently utilize network resources without adversely aaecting the performance of non-ABR, guaranteed traac such as video. Most research to date on ABR performance has not used realistic assumptions. Unrealistic assumptions such as persistent data sources and no non-ABR traac, as well as poor TCP models may lead to m...

The Available Bit Rate (ABR) service has been developed to support 21st century data applications over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). The ABR service uses a closed-loop rate-based traac management framework where the network divides left-over bandwidth among contending sources. The ATM Forum traac management group also incorporated open-loop control capabilities to make the ABR service robus...

Abstract Purpose With antibiotic resistance (ABR) portrayed as an increasing burden to human health, this study reviews how and what extent toxicological impacts from use are included in LCAs supplement with two novel approaches include ABR, a consequence of use, into the LCA framework. Methods We review available studies that deal aspects antibiotics evaluate these have been characterized. The...

Background: Although anaerobic system has been successfully used for treating the strong industrial wastewater, its efficiency for low-strength wastewater as municipal wastewater is not satisfying. This study aimed to enhance the capability of an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) for treating municipal wastewater. Methods: A 7-L ABR with 5 compartments was operated for a 287-day period fed with ...

BACKGROUND Bcr and Abr are GTPase activating proteins that specifically downregulate activity of the small GTPase Rac in restricted cell types in vivo. Rac1 is expressed in smooth muscle cells, a critical cell type involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension. The molecular mechanisms that underlie hypoxia-associated pulmonary hypertension are not well-defined. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL...

3083 Background: ABR-217620 (naptumomab estafenatox) is a recombinant fusion protein that consists of the 5T4Fab moiety genetically fused to the engineered superantigen variant SEA/E-120. This fusion protein is a new generation tumor-targeted superantigen based on the previously described ABR-214936 (anatumomab mafenatox). ABR-217620 was designed to reduce antigenicity and toxicity. The 5T4 ant...
