Cartesian Routing Progress to Date and Future Directions

Existing hierarchical routing schemes, employing distance vector and link state routing algorithms, require the exchange of routing information for the construction and maintenance of routing tables [1]. As networks increase in size, the memory requirements for the routing tables and the time taken to search the tables increase proportionally [11]. Further, as the popularity of computer network...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring by Dried Blood Spot: Progress to Date and Future Directions

This article discusses dried blood spot (DBS) sampling in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). The most important advantages of DBS sampling in TDM are the minimally invasive procedure of a finger prick (home sampling), the small volume (children), and the stability of the analyte. Many assays in DBS have been reported in the literature over the previous 5 years. These assays and their analytical...

Recent Progress and Future Directions

We review the foundations of Einstein’s general theory of relativity, discuss recent progress in the tests of relativistic gravity, and present motivations for new generation of high-accuracy gravitational experiments. We discuss the advances in our understanding of fundamental physics anticipated in the near future and evaluate discovery potential of the recently proposed gravitational experim...

Gene Therapy 2017: Progress and Future Directions

Gene therapy has changed dramatically in the 28 years since the first human gene transfer experiment in 1989. Alipogene tiparvovec, GlyberaR R ©, a recombinant adenoassociated virus (rAAV) product for lipoprotein lipase deficiency, and Strimvelis R ©, a lentivirus vector for severe combined immune deficiency are approved in Europe. An rAAV2 product for a congenital form of blindness is currentl...
