Adaptation to lowering oxygen levels (hypoxia) requires coordinated downregulation of metabolic demand and supply to prevent a mismatch in ATP utilization and production that might culminate in a bioenergetic collapse. Hypoxia diminishes ATP utilization by downregulating protein translation and the activity of the Na-K-ATPase. Hypoxia diminishes ATP production in part by lowering the activity o...

In this paper, we analyze the performance of a lightpath configuration method for optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) in WDM asymmetric ring network. We consider a multiple queueing system for a node in the ring network and derive loss probability and wavelength utilization factor. Numerical examples show how arrival rate from access network and the threshold specified in the dynamic configurat...

Distributed computing storage and management is widely adopted topic for research now days. Various replication strategies are developed to solve the issues regarding the storage and management. We also developed one system i.e. S&P System which gives better results than HDFS for parameters like performance, access time, memory utilization. In this paper S&P system divides data category wise an...

the aim of this study was evaluation of enoxaparin utilization in hospitalized patients who had received enoxaparin either for prophylaxis or for treatment of thromboembolic disorders. a total of 356 patients were included in this retrospective study and were analyzed for enoxaparin utilization in terms of prescription patterns, treatment strategy, dosing regimen, indications/contraindications,...

the study examined the utilization of information and communication technologies by agricultural extension workers in niger state, nigeria. to achieve the study objective, 206 respondents were proportionately and randomly selected from the three agricultural zones in the state through multi-stage sampling technique. validated questionnaire with reliability coefficient of 0.81 was used to collec...

conclusions the sophistication of electronic prescription and integration with ehr will become a reality, if all its stakeholders collaborate in developing fast and secure electronic prescription systems. it is plausible that the required infrastructure should be provided for implementation of the national integrated electronic prescription systems in countries without the system. given the bar...

This paper is concerned with improving bandwidth utilization while guaranteeing qualityof-service (QoS) requirements for multimedia applications in IEEE 802.11e HCCA wireless networks. We propose two integer-multiple-spacing-based (IMS-based) designs: the IMSbased-d and IMS-based-l designs. In the IMS-based designs, the scheduling spacing of any traffic must be an integer multiple of the minimu...

The purpose of the study was to examine the cost-effectiveness of managed care interventions with respect to prescriptions for chronic illness sufferers enrolled with a specific medical scheme. The illnesses included, were epilepsy, hypertension, diabetes and asthma. The managed care interventions applied were a primary discount; the use of preferred provider pharmacies, and drug utilization re...

CPU utilization, throughput, turnaround time, waiting time, and response time are the factor to influence system performance. Every system uses different scheduling algorithms to achieve his goal. In the grid computing, resources usages are important to get good performance . When jobs are not uniformly distributed in all grid nodes, job scheduling is more important . In order to achieve perfor...
