In order to enhance the interoperability of roaming and tunneling services, it is desirable to have a standardized method for identifying users. This document proposes syntax for the Network Access Identifier (NAI), the userID submitted by the client during PPP authentication. It is expected that this will be of interest for support of roaming as well as tunneling. "Roaming capability" may be l...

This paper considers the method to provide the roaming service for GSM subscribers, who roam into the CDMA network. The roaming service basically requires the identification, authentication and location management of roaming subscribers in the visited network. It also requires the interrogation of subscriber's data between the home and visited network. This paper proposes several requirements f...

A current challenge in heterogeneous wireless networks is to enable them to work together in a spontaneous fashion, without having pre-established roaming agreements. Currently, formal roaming agreements are manually set up, which is a costly and time-consuming process. It is highly desirable for network cooperation to be established on the fly. However, establishing spontaneous roaming agreeme...

The thermal decomposition of nitromethane provides a classic example of the competition between roaming mediated isomerization and simple bond fission. A recent theoretical analysis suggests that as the pressure is increased from 2 to 200 Torr the product distribution undergoes a sharp transition from roaming dominated to bond-fission dominated. Laser schlieren densitometry is used to explore t...

Introduction (1.88 %), Dachshund (1.25%), Dalmatian (1.04 %) and others (2 %). The highest incidence of the pelvic limb Fracture of the long bone is a commonly fracture in non-descript dogs observed in the present encountered orthopaedic problem in canine practice. study might be due to their free roaming habit which Understanding the different types of fracture and their make them more vulnera...

In this paper we investigate the concept of designing user-centric transaction protocols towards achieving dependable coordination in AmI environments. As a proof-of-concept, we propose a protocol that takes into account the schedules of roaming users that move from one AmI environment to another, to avoid abnormal terminations of transactions when the users leave an environment for short, only...

The European Commission (EC) mandates that from July 1, 2014, Mobile network operators (MNO) shall offer the possibility to other parties, referred to as Alternative roaming provider (ARP), to offer ‘roaming services’. When a subscriber of a national MNO, referred to as Domestic service provider (DSP) in this context, travels abroad, that person should be entitled to receive voice, data, SMS an...

This article reports the first known study on the disposal of puppies in an Afro-Caribbean community. The study reported the fate of 2,427 puppies through 517 interviews with dog caregivers. The study reported that surviving puppies from "pure-bred" females were typically sold (60.1% of surviving puppies) whereas those from mongrel (potcakes) mothers were given away (48.4%). Pure-bred mothers p...
