Multi-radio mobile communication devices are increasingly gaining market share due to the diversity of currently deployed and continuously emerging radio access technologies. Multi-homing support in multi-radio terminals, i.e., simultaneous use of two or more radio interfaces, provides improved user experience through increase in available bandwidth capacity and reliability of wireless access. ...

A huge amount of generated data is regularly exploding into the network by users through smartphones, laptops, tablets, self-configured Internet-of-things (IoT) devices, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. In such a situation, satisfying critical quality-of-service (QoS) requirements (e.g., throughput, latency, bandwidth, reliability) large challenge as vast travels network. Nowadays, s...

Dendritic cells (DCs) carry antigen from peripheral tissues via lymphatics to lymph nodes. We report here that differentiated DCs can also travel from the periphery into the blood. Circulating DCs migrated to the spleen, liver and lung but not lymph nodes. They also homed to the bone marrow, where they were retained better than in most other tissues. Homing of DCs to the bone marrow depended on...

Host based routing (HBR) protocols such as Cellular IP (CIP) facilitate IP mobility management in micro mobility access network domains where frequents handovers (or handoffs) are common. An HBR protocol based on CIP is modeled. Three main processes: the cross-over node (CoN), the base station (BS), and the mobile node (MN) process models were constructed. The CoN model is used to simulate CIP ...

Multi-technology, multi-homed, multi-hop, multi-interface, multi-channel, multi-route, multi-destination... Emerging wireless networks are multi-* networks. Emerging wireless networks are also no longer stand-alone and self-contained networks but connected to external networks. Simulating such complex systems requires advanced network simulation tools. The network simulator 2 (ns-2) is one of t...

The availability of multimedia applications suitable for deployment using 3G and GPRS networks has led to a requirement for end-to-end quality of service. More efficient mechanisms are needed in order to provide the required end user quality of service in wireless data networks. This paper investigates the performance implications of transmitting real-time multimedia content over a multi-homed ...

We developed a screening procedure to identify ligands from a phage display random peptide library that are selective for circulating bone marrow derived cells homing to angiogenic tumors. Panning the library on blood outgrowth endothelial cell suspension in vitro followed by in vivo selection based on homing of bone marrow-bound phage to angiogenic tumors, yielded the peptide QFPPKLTNNSML. Upo...

The first hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that engraft irradiated adult mice arise in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) on embryonic day 11.5 (E11.5). However, at this stage, there is a discrepancy between the apparent frequency of HSCs depicted with imaging and their rarity when measured with limiting dilution transplant. We have attempted to reconcile this difference using neonatal recipients...

An increase in the popularity and usage of Multimode’s devices for ubiquitous network access creates thrust for utilization of simultaneous network connections. Unfortunately, the standard transport layer protocols used single homed congestion control mechanism for multipath transmission. One major challenge in such multipath transmission is related to the Receiver Buffer (RBuf) blocking that h...
