In a multi-domain Internet that offers QoS guaranties for applications, there is the need of signalling among the domain entities that are responsible for the management of QoS. Because different domains have different network protocols and topologies, there is no solution that is able to signal these entities using an off path approach, and in particular that is able to interwork with the on p...

Depression in Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequently associated with executive deficits, which can influence nonliteral comprehension and lexical access. This study explores whether depressive symptoms in PD modulate verbal fluency and nonliteral language comprehension. Twelve individuals with PD without depressive symptoms, 13 with PD and depressive symptoms (PDDSs), and 13 healthy controls co...

BACKGROUND Although interventions for children with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) have been the focus of research effort and evidence reviews in many Western countries, this evidence has not been assessed in the context of low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries especially in terms of the fit with different cultures and resources. METHOD As a part of the WHO MH-GAP project, we carri...

This specification describes the NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol (NSLP) for signaling Quality of Service (QoS) reservations in the Internet. It is in accordance with the framework and requirements developed in NSIS. Together with General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST), it provides functionality similar to RSVP and extends it. The QoS NSLP is independent of the underlying QoS specification or...

The Next Steps in Signaling (NSIS) working group is considering protocols for signaling information about a data flow along its path in the network. The NSIS suite of protocols is envisioned to support various signaling applications that need to install and/or manipulate such state in the network. Based on existing work on signaling requirements, this document proposes an architectural framewor...

Although the role of Vibram Fivefingers® (minimal footwear) in running is gaining in popularity, the influence of this style of footwear on walking and energy efficiency is currently unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine if energy efficiency was similar in barefoot walking compared to wearing Vibram Fivefingers®. Fifteen participants (8 females, 7 males, age range 21 – 48 years) w...

Generalizations of Pareto optimality have been studied by a number of authors. In finite dimensions such work is exemplified by Corley [ 5 ], DaCunha and Polak [10], Goeffrion [131, Hartley [151, Lin [171, Tanino and Sawaragi [211, Wendell and Lee [221, and Yu [231. The optimization of functions into possibly infinite dimensions has been considered by Borwein [21, Cesari and Suryanarayana [31, ...
