The transport layer is ossified. With most of the research and deployment efforts in past decade focusing on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) its extensions, QUIC standardization by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to be finalized early 2021. In addition addressing urgent issues TCP, ensures future extendibility destined drastically change protocol landscape. this work, we present a fi...

BACKGROUND It is often difficult to enrol healthy volunteers into a randomized controlled trial (RCT) as there are barriers to participants' proper understanding of a trial. This study aimed to evaluate degrees of understanding of the informed consent (IC) process among healthy volunteers who participated in an RCT. Additionally, factors associated with degree of understanding were investigated...

OBJECTIVE To review clinical and investigation findings in patients referred to a specialist prion clinic who were suspected to have sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) and yet were found to have an alternative final diagnosis. METHODS Review the clinical findings and investigations in 214 patients enrolled into the UK National Prion Monitoring Cohort Study between October 2008 and Nove...

In-Flight Communication (IFC), available on a growing number of commercial flights, is often received by consumers with both awe for its mere availability and harsh criticism for its poor performance. Indeed, IFC provides Internet connectivity in some of the most challenging conditions with aircraft traveling at speeds in excess of 500 mph at 30,000 feet above the ground. Yet, while existing se...

Image data compression is becoming an indispensable technology to decrease memory capacity cost and to decrease transmission time, as printers begin to feature high resolution and color. This paper presents an overview of the bi-level image data compression system, Quic-Coder, that we developed. This is a non-reciprocal bi-level image data compression system aiming at improving compression perf...

?-Synuclein aggregation is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease and promising biomarker for early detection assessment progression. The prospect molecular test materializing with the recent developments methods based on amplification synuclein seeds (e.g. RT-QuIC or PMCA). Here we adapted single-molecule counting ?-synuclein aggregates in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), using simple 3D printed microsco...

Our devices can use a wide range of communication technologies such as multiple cellular (4G/5G), WiFi, and also Ethernet. At the same time, applications have choice transport protocols QUIC TCP that be fine-tuned optimized according to their needs. However, in spite these advances, offering seamless multiconnectivity continues hard problem. The key factors continue roadblock towards achieving ...
