Today, customers expect to run triple-play services through BGP/MPLS IP-VPNs. Some service providers will deploy services that request Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees from a local Customer Edge (CE) to a remote CE across the network. As a result, the application (e.g., voice, video, bandwidth-guaranteed data pipe, etc.) requirements for an end-to-end QoS and reserving an adequate bandwidth ...

Peanut is grown mostly in rainfed areas where drought is a recurring problem. Peanut genotypes with high transpiration efficiency (TE) use less water and produced yield better under drought conditions. Specific leaf area and SPAD chlorophyll meter reading are used as surrogate traits for TE. N2 fixation (NF) is also used as a surrogate trait for yield under drought. The objective of this study ...

In order to comprehensively control the corner separation and blade trailing edge (TE) in a high-turning compressor stator cascade, this research proposes new combined slotted configuration consisting of one full-span slot two blade-end slots. Taking into account effect solidity, performance original cascade was calculated evaluated wide incidence angle range at solidities. The results indicate...

CONTEXT Declines in GH and testosterone (Te) secretion may contribute to the detrimental aging changes of elderly men. OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of near-physiological GH with/without Te administration on lean body mass, total body fat, midthigh muscle cross-section area, muscle strength, aerobic capacity, condition-specific quality of life (Age-Related Hormone Deficiency-Dependent Quali...

Introduction and aim: Total laryngectomy surgery is performed in patients with large or recurrent laryngeal cancer. Following removal of the larynx, tracheoesophageal (TE) voice is the gold standard for achieving phonation. The mechanisms underlying TE voice are not fully understood, but pharyngoesophageal (PE) segment vibration has been shown to play a key role [1]-[3]. The aim of this study w...

For understanding of the physics processes determining the radial profiles of the plasma pressure in the advanced tokamak plasmas, correlation between the edge and the internal transport barriers (ETB and ITB) has been studied. We fond that the edge pedestal beta, βp-ped, increases almost linearly with the total βp over a wide range of the plasma current for the type I ELMing H-mode, and the de...

Recently a number of major, unanticipated effects have been reported in tokamak edge research raising the question of whether we understand the controlling physics of the edge. This report is on the first part – here focused on the outer divertor – of a systematic study of the simplest possible edge plasma – no ELMs, no detachment, etc. – for a set of 10 repeat, highlydiagnosed, single-null, di...

introduction: the aim of this investigation was to study the developmental potential of human fragmented embryos to blastocyst stage and to evaluate thedeveloped blastocysts in the term of size, cellularity, the type of inner cell mass(icm), trophoetoderm (te) and the number of dead cells. material and methods: four to eight cell fragmented human embryos wereobtained from the embryology lab of ...

High power laser – total emissivity method (HPL-TE method) for determination of coatings relative total emissivity dependent on the temperature is introduced. Method principle, experimental and evaluation parts of the method are described. Computer model of HPL-TE method is employed to perform the sensitivity analysis of the effect of method parameters on the sample surface temperature in the p...
