So far, a little is known about transition from normal to focal epileptic brain, although disruption in blood-brain barrier and albumin had recently involved. The main objective of this work is to characterize the response of cultured human astrocytes to plasma albumin, including induction of DNA synthesis. Cortical tissue was obtained from 9 patients operated from temporal lobe epilepsy. Astro...

In this paper, we study how MPLS flows are routed in an Internet that contains a centrally-controlled agile allphotonic star WDM network (AAPN). Two scenarios are considered, namely deploying AAPN within one OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) area and within several OSPF areas. Since the AAPN provides an NxN interconnection structure for the N edge nodes of the AAPN architecture, the straightforwa...

Inter-vehicle networking has been proved to be an efficient and enabling system for the enhancement of road safety. With the help of inter-vehicle networking, a driver can be notified with a warning message for a traffic jam or collision in a real-time mode, and thus, take a positive action promptly to avoid entering jam areas or multiple-vehicle collisions. In this paper, we study the performa...
