P2P file sharing provides a powerful content distribution model by leveraging users’ computing and bandwidth resources. However, companies have been reluctant to rely on P2P systems for paid content distribution due to their inability to limit the exploitation of these systems for free file sharing. We present TP2, a system that combines the more cost-effective and scalable distribution capabil...

Teopod2 (Tp2) is a semi-dominant mutation of maize that prolongs the expression of characteristics normally confined to the juvenile phase of development. Two of the many dramatic morphological effects of this mutation are an increase in the number of vegetative nodes, and a reduction in the overall size of the shoot. To determine the cellular basis of these phenotypes, the technique of clonal ...

A cDNA clone encoding a small cysteine and serinerich basic protein has been isolated from a mouse testis cDNA library. This cDNA clone encodes the mouse homologue of a protein involved in the initial phases of condensation of chromatin during spermiogenesis in rats, TP2, based on similarities in the sequence of the carboxyl terminus, composition, molecular weight, and electrophoretic mobility....

INTRODUCTION Peripheral blood pressure measurements play a prominent role in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with peripheral vascular diseases. Toe pressure of the hallux (TP1) and second toe (TP2) and transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TCPO2) measurements are becoming more important. The ankle/brachial pressure index (ABPI) is known to be a reliable parameter, but the toe pressure and TCP...

Suppose λ,x,ζ traverse the ordered sets Λ, X and Z, respectively and consider the functions f(λ,x,ζ) and g(λ,ζ) satisfying the following conditions, (a) f(λ,x,ζ) > 0 and f is TP2 in each pairs of variables when the third variable is held fixed and (b) g(λ,ζ) is TP2. Then the function h(λ,x) =∫Z f(λ,x,ζ)g(λ,ζ)dµ(ζ), defined on Λ×X is TP2 in (λ,x). The aim of this note is to use a new stochast...

Collaborative editing consists in editing a common document shared by several independent sites. Conflicts occurs when different users perform simultaneous uncompatible operations. Centralized systems solve this problem by using locks that prevent some modifications to occur and leave the resolution of conflicts to users. Optimistic peer to peer (P2P) editing doesn’t allow locks and uses a Inte...

Abstract. Every partial TP2 (TP1) matrix with one unspecified entry has a TP2 (TP1) completion. For a given m-by-n pattern with one unspecified entry, the minimum set of conditions characterizing TP3 completability is given. These conditions are at most eight polynomial inequalities on the specified entries of the pattern. For k ≥ 3, patterns with one unspecified entry that are TPk completable ...

BACKGROUND Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0·03% is approved in several countries for the treatment of eyelash hypotrichosis. Previous trials were limited to 4 months of treatment and primarily idiopathic hypotrichosis. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of bimatoprost in patients with idiopathic or chemotherapy-induced hypotrichosis. METHODS This multicentre, double-m...
