The paper analyzes various options to increase the capacity of HFC networks in order to meet the capacity demands over the next two decades. A smooth migration plan is proposed to enable MSOs offering beyond than 1Gbps US service. A High-split prototype system is built and initial results are

There is no complete explanation for the association between socioeconomic status (SES), fibre, and whole diet described by dietary patterns. The aim of this short report was to increase the understanding of adolescent dietary patterns related to fibre in their social context. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 1176 adolescents aged 13-18 years from central and north-eastern Poland...

The present study makes a consistent attempt to evaluate promising additive manufacturing (AM) processes and materials for marine structural applications, paving the way development of additively manufactured light-weight composites. main objective is analyse performances fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP) produced by AM applications. In particular, tensile response chopped continuous carbon-fibre...

Mammalian extraocular muscles possess greater variation in structural and physiological properties than any other muscle. The superior rectus muscle of the adult rat contains five morphological fibre types. The differentiation of the muscle into these fibre types in embryonic and postnatal rats were studied by light and electron microscopy, and the distribution of each developing fibre type wit...

The correspondence between the dietary fibre contents of 28 breakfast cereals and their faecal bulking efficacies was measured and used to assess criterion values controlling nutrient claims for dietary fibre. A valid, standardised rat assay was used to measure faecal bulking efficacy as the content of wheat bran equivalents for faecal bulk (WBEfb) in the cereals. Regression analysis of WBEfb c...

In this paper the performance evaluation has been done for combinatorial code for different system and code parameters under noisy optical channel conditions for potentially increasing number of users for optical code division multiple access system. It has been observed that code weight and effective power from each user are two main factors to decide the system performance. KeywordsOptical Co...

The effect of the fibre content of lifelong (18 months) diets on proximal and distal colonic cellular proliferation and short chain fatty acid (SCFA) content was investigated in 40 rats. Rats were fed a low fibre diet (17 g/kg non-starch polysaccharides NSP) or the stock diet (133 g/kg NSP). The higher fibre fed rats had increased caecal and colonic total contents (p < 0.001) and SCFAs than the...

The understanding of skeletal muscle growth is an important goal in animal science and in human medicine. The purpose of this review is to demonstrate the importance of muscle fibre number for muscle growth and the influence of selected genetic and environmental factors on muscle fibre number. The total number of muscle fibres is mainly determined prenatally when multinucleated myofibres form f...
