• A network service provider wants to keep track of the traffic going through the network, in order to detect unusual patterns, which may be a sign of malicious activity. For example, an increased traffic to a particular IP address may suggest a Denial of Service attack is under way. Such unusual traffic patterns should be detected almost in real time, however the throughput of the network is s...

BACKGROUND Indigenous Australians have poorer cancer outcomes in terms of incidence mortality and survival compared with non-Indigenous Australians. The factors contributing to this disparity are complex. Identifying and addressing the psychosocial factors and support needs of Indigenous cancer patients may help reduce this disparity. The Supportive Care Needs Assessment Tool for Indigenous Peo...

This document adapts the Mobile IPv6 Fast Handovers to improve delay and packet loss resulting from Mobile IPv4 handover operations. Specifically, this document addresses movement detection, IP address configuration, and location update latencies during a handover. For reducing the IP address configuration latency, the document proposes that the new Care-of Address is always made to be the new ...

Sir, Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is an X-linked dominant trait that is intrauterine lethal for males. The disorder is caused by NEMO mutations involving the NFkB activation pathway (1). It is characterized by linear skin lesions and various defects of the central nervous system, the teeth and the eyes. The cutaneous lesions are arranged along the lines of Blaschko, reflecting functional X-chrom...

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a genodermatosis that segregates as an X linked dominant trait with male lethality. The disease has been linked to Xq28 in a number of studies. A few affected males have been documented, most of whom have a 47,XXY karyotype. We report a family with two paternally related half sisters, each affected with IP. The father is healthy, clinically normal, and has a 46,XY...

CASE REPORT The ophthalmic examination and results of fluorescein angiography using Retcam II are described in a patient with Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP). DISCUSSION Angiography fluorescein is extremely valuable in detecting vascular lesions that were invisible with ordinary ophthalmoscopy. Retcam II allows documentation of these lesions which is very useful for diagnosis, treatment and follo...

Let X be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero and Y ⊂ X a smooth ample hyperplane section. The Weak Lefschetz conjecture for Chow groups states that the natural restriction map CH(X)Q → CH(Y )Q is an isomorphism for all p < dim(Y )/2. In this note, we revisit a strategy introduced by Grothendieck to attack this problem by using the Bloch-Quille...

Let X be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field k ⊂ C of characteristic zero, and Y ⊂ X a smooth complete intersection. The Weak Lefschetz theorem states that the natural restriction map H(X(C), Q) → H(Y (C), Q) on singular cohomology is an isomorphism for all i < dim(Y ). The Bloch-Beilinson conjectures on the existence of certain filtrations on Chow groups combined wit...
