OBS Burst Assembly Algorithms Subject to Burst Rate Constraints

Control plane load stems from burst control packets which need to be transmitted end-to-end over the control channel and further processed at core nodes of an Optical Burst Switching (OBS) network for reserving resources in advance for an upcoming burst. Burst assembly algorithms are generally designed without taking into consideration the control plane load they lead to. In the current article...

Posterior Vertebral Injury; Is This a Burst Fracture or a Flexion-Distraction Injury?

In thoracolumbar spinal fractures with posterior column injury for applying proper management, it is important to distinguish a flexion-distraction injury (FDI) from a three column burst fracture (BF) as in clinical examination, both may have a similar significant tenderness on direct spinal palpation. Careful attention to the comprehensive clinical examination and detailed imaging features are...
