Neighbor greeting involves a process used by network nodes to achieve reachability and discovery. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and End-System to Intermediate-System Routing Exchange Protocol (ES-IS) are competing approaches to the neighbor greeting problem. This paper provides a detailed analysis of the performance of these protocols, and a better understanding of the performance trade...

The intensity statistics of random signals in the presence of Gaussian noise is obtained by considering the model of a random signal plus a random phasor sum. The additive Gaussian noise is shown to result in a Bessel transform of the probability density of signal intensity. The transformation of the intensity statistics can generally be applied to mixtures of independent random signals, one of...

Kernel random matrices have attracted a lot of interest in recent years, from both practical and theoretical standpoints. Most of the theoretical work so far has focused on the case were the data is sampled from a low-dimensional structure. Very recently, the first results concerning kernel random matrices with high-dimensional input data were obtained, in a setting where the data was sampled f...

To compare the roles of apolipoprotein (Apo) A-I, B, and E (or arginine-rich apoprotein, ARP) in the intracellular production of intestinal chylomicrons (and/or VLDL), these apoproteins were localized in rat intestinal mucosa by the light microscope method of indirect immunofluorescence. In addition, tissue levels of ApoA-I and ApoB were measured during fat absorption by radioimmunoassay. Antis...

When generating musical sound on a digital computer, it is important to have a good model whose parameters provide a rich source of meaningful sound transformations. Three basic model types are in prevalent use today for musical sound generation: instrument models, spectrum models, and abstract models. Instrument models attempt to parametrize a sound at its source, such as a violin, clarinet, o...

Arp 302, a luminous infrared source (LIR = 4.2× 10 11 L⊙), consisting of two spiral galaxies (VV340A and VV340B) with nuclear separation of ∼ 40, has the highest CO luminosity known. Observations with the BIMA array at 5 ×7 resolution reveal that the CO emission is extended over 23.0 kpc in the edge-on spiral galaxy, VV340A, corresponding to 6.7× 10 M⊙ of H2. In the companion face-on galaxy, VV...

From optical R band data of the double quasar QSO 0957+561A,B, we made two new difference light curves (about 330 days of overlap between the time-shifted light curve for the A image and the magnitude-shifted light curve for the B image). We observed noisy behaviours around the zero line and no short-timescale events (with a duration of months), where the term event refers to a prominent featur...

The sensitivity of blood cultures in the diagnosis of bacteraemia for community-acquired pneumonia is low. Recommendations, by guidelines, to perform blood cultures are discordant. We aimed to determine the incidence, microbial aetiology, risk factors and outcomes of bacteraemic patients with community-acquired pneumonia, including cases with antibiotic-resistant pathogens (ARP). A prospective,...

The conflicting problems of growing mobile service demand and underutilization of dedicated spectrum has given rise to a paradigm where mobile network operators (MNOs) share their infrastructure among themselves in order to lower their operational costs, while at the same time increase the usage of their existing network resources. We model and analyze such an infrastructure sharing system cons...

This paper deals with the problem of robust adaptive array beamforming by exploiting the signal cyclostationarity. Recently, a novel cyclostationarity-exploiting beamforming method has been proposed by J.-H. Lee and C.-C. Huang (2009) for dealing with the situation of multiple signals of interest (SOI) based on the LS-SCORE algorithm. This method is referred to as the multiple LSSCORE (MLS-SCOR...
