Atopic dermatitis (AD) together with asthma and allergic rhinitis represents the most typical manifestation of “atopic constitution”. AD was known since ancient times and also Job was probably affected by it. In the Bible (Book of Job) we read:” So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown; and he took him a potsherd to...

The title requires some explanation. The term “IP-ism” was introduced by the author in [1] to name the current trend which tends to treat IP-related technology as an ideology – an “-ism” – rather than just one of many possible solutions within the ICT area. In short, according to IP-ism, the IP technology (its derivatives, modifications etc.) is regarded as a panacea for the development of a fu...

This document contains a highlevel description of the QoS classes of service which are recommended for development and eventual deployment across JANET. The recommendations have been formulated on the basis of experience gained in the framework of the JANET QoS Development Project. Two QoS services are described: IP Premium and Less than Best Effort. These complement the regular Best Effort ser...

This study aimed to verify the effect of visual afference (eyes open – EO vs. eyes closed – EC) on inphase (IP) and anti-phase (AP) homolateral inter-limb coordination performance in relation to age. Forty individuals (12 youths, age=12±1 years; 16 young adults, age=24±3 years; 12 older adults, age=59±11 years) performed IP and AP synchronized (80, 120, and 180 bpm) hand and foot flexions and e...

Figura 2 Con balón de contrapulsación intraaórtico. Paciente de 78 años al que en una ciruǵıa de revascularización coronaria se le realizó un by-pass de arteria mamaria interna izquierda a arteria coronaria descendente anterior (ACDA). Estas im agenes se han obtenido mediante eco-Doppler intraoperatoria y muestran el flujo en la ACDA. En la figura 1 se muestra el flujo en la ACDA sin apoyo del ...

This paper presents the on-going active node development effort in the IST project called Future Active IP Networks (FAIN). It begins by introducing the active networking paradigm, and underlines the motivation behind the project. A new concept of active node is presented using a flexible, and generic architecture. It concludes with some open issues and challenges to be addressed in the project.

Mobile IP (Internet Protocol) allows a mobile node to send and receive packets with its home IP address, regardless of the IP address of its current point of attachment in the Internet. Since Mobile IP induces the handover latency due to mobility management operations, fast handover algorithms have been studied to reduce the latency. In this paper, we optimize the handover procedure in Fast Han...

The diagnosis of incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is fairly easy in the presence of classical features, but can be difficult in cases with partial or non-classical features, especially in the parents. The demonstration that the disease is caused by mutations in the NEMO gene, has remarkably improved genetic counselling for this disorder. We present four families of IP in whom molecular studies estab...

In a direct two-level qubit system, when the Rabi frequency is comparable to the resonance frequency, the rotating wave approximation is not appropriate. In this case the Rabi oscillation is accompanied by another oscillation at twice the frequency of the driving field, the so called Bloch-Siegert oscillation (BSO), which depends on the initial phase of the field. This oscillation may restrict ...

The IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol defines how IP Flow information can be exported from routers, measurement probes, or other devices. This document provides guidelines for the implementation and use of the IPFIX protocol. Several sets of guidelines address Template management, transport-specific issues, implementation of Exporting and Collecting Processes, and IPFIX implementation...
