RFC 3723 specifies IPsec requirements for block storage protocols over IP (e.g., Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI)) based on IPsec v2 (RFC 2401 and related RFCs); those requirements have subsequently been applied to remote direct data placement protocols, e.g., the Remote Direct Memory Access Protocol (RDMAP). This document updates RFC 3723’s IPsec requirements to IPsec v3 (RFC 4...

Internet-Drafts may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is not appropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as a "working draft" ...

Abstract We have investigated the feasibilities and accuracies of identifications RR Lyrae stars quasars from simulated data Multi-channel Photometric Survey Telescope (Mephisto) W Survey. Based on variable sources light curve libraries Sloan Digital Sky (SDSS) Stripe 82 observation history simulation Mephisto-W Scheduler, we uvgriz multi-band curves stars, other for first year Mephisto applied...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder and the primary form of dementia in the elderly. Polymorphisms of genes involved in folate metabolism have been frequently suggested as risk factors for sporadic AD. A common c.80G>A polymorphism (rs1051266) in the gene coding for the reduced folate carrier (SLC19A1 gene, commonly known as RFC-1 gene) was investigated as AD ...

Over years many documents from IMAPEXT and LEMONADE working groups, as well as many individual documents have added syntactic extensions to many base IMAP commands described in RFC 3501. For ease of reference this document collects most of such ABNF changes in one place. This document also suggest a set of standard patterns for adding options and extensions to several existing IMAP commands def...

The Kerberos 5 network authentication protocol, originally specified in RFC 1510, can use the Data Encryption Standard (DES) for encryption. Almost 30 years after first publishing DES, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) finally withdrew the standard in 2005, reflecting a long-established consensus that DES is insufficiently secure. By 2008, commercial hardware costing les...

BACKGROUND We studied whether a small dose of clonidine added to a ropivacaine-fentanyl mixture improves epidural analgesia without provoking side effects typically related to larger amounts of epidural clonidine. METHODS In this randomized, double-blinded study, patients (< or =85 yr, ASA I-III) underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed under spinal anaesthesia. After the operation, ...

This document presents a performance evaluation of the Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) for a small outdoor deployment of sensor nodes and for a large-scale smart meter network. Detailed simulations are carried out to produce several routing performance metrics using these real-life deployment scenarios. Please refer to the PDF version of this document, which includes sev...
