While it has been shown that TCP Vegas provides better performance compared to TCP Reno, studies have identified various issues associated with the protocol. We propose modifications to the congestion avoidance mechanism of the TCP Vegas to overcome these limitations. Unlike the solutions proposed in the past, our solution, named TCP Vegas-A, is neither dependent on optimising any critical para...

Although ‘Halcyon’ means serene environment which pervasive computing aims at, we have tried to present a different interpretation of this word. Through our approach, we look at it in context of achieving future ‘calm technology’. The paper gives a general overview of the state of pervasive computing today, proposes the ‘HALCYON Model’ and outlines the ‘social’ challenges faced by system design...

BACKGROUND Nonattendance for scheduled appointments disturbs the effective management of pediatric pulmonary clinics. We hypothesized that the reasons for non-attendance and the necessary solutions might be different in pediatric pulmonary medicine than in other pediatric fields. We therefore investigated the factors associated with nonattendance this field in order to devise a corrective strat...

(7.5 mg/kg for 4 days) are the Ifest treatments to reach quickly safe platelet levels 2:30 x 109/L (3-6 days) and 'CR (7-11 days). Among non-responding (NR) patients, seven have been splenectomized and three reached stable CR. These results emphasize differences with adult ITP.

4. Furthermore, if the demand for remote echoing ever exceeds network capacity, the TIPs and Hosts can simply buffer 2 characters per message, doubling the effective bandwidth of the network. Of course, dozens of characters can be packed into a single message with nearly proportional increases in effective bandwidth, given the size of the overhead. This buffering happens automatically and incre...
