In this paper we suggest the need for a new class of transport service to handle the requirements of digital continuous-media data transfers and other applications that may desire to trade off data completeness for latency considerations. Specifically, we define a Partially Error-Controlled Connection service under which the user submits applicationand endsystem-specific parameters to coordinat...

This in vitro study evaluated the relationship between removal force and the thickness of three orthodontic adhesives, namely, light- and chemical-cured resin cements and a resin-modified glass ionomer cement. The thickness of each adhesive was 50, 100, 150, or 200 µm, and all adhesives were bonded on bovine incisors. Removal force was measured before (TC-0) and after 1,000 thermal cycles (TC-1...

Centrifugally stratified eggs of the sand-dollar, Dendraster excentricus, have cytoplasmic structures segregated into distinct layers. Fat droplets, yolk granules, and mitochondria are separated by "hyaline" layers of protoplasm. Aggregations of particles of 150 to 200 A diameter ("heavy bodies") are found near the mitochondrial layer and a concentration gradient of free 150 to 200 A particles ...

Background: To prevent the recurrence of hydatid cysts after surgery, it is essential to use effective scolicidal agents. Most of these agents are not safe due to their undesired side effects. Recently, studies have been conducted to find natural scolicidal agents with more efficacies and low side effects. OBJECTIVES: In this study, the in vitro scolicidal effect of ethanolic extract of ginger ...

A field experiment was conducted to determine the response of different doses of N and P2O5 on the growth and flower quality of gladiolus at farmer field district Quetta during the summer season 2008. Six treatments were included in the trial viz; T1 (125+100); T2 (125+200); T3 (150+100); T4 (150+200); T5 (175+100) and T6 (175+200) NP kg/ha were tested in four replicated randomized complete blo...

An experiment was conducted to find the appropriate material for increasing quantitative and qualitative traits in pre, postharvest vase-life of cut rose flower cv. “Avalanche” a hydroponic greenhouse based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 16 treatments 3 replications. Treatments included gibberellic acid at four levels (0, 100, 200, 300 ppm) salicylic 150, 200 ppm). The foliar a...

white bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) is an important legume food crop in iran and many other countries. it is grown on 110248 hectares in iran, mostly in fars, lorestan, markazi, zanjan and chahar mahal-va-bakhtiari provinces. due to its high value in human nutrition and exportation, considering that most grown cultivars of iran are the runner type beans, with low marketability values and suscept...

We show that neural network classifiers can be used to discriminate Higgs production from background at LHC for 150 < MH < 200 GeV. The results compare favourably with ordinary multivariate analysis.
