This document describes functions implemented in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) intermediaries known as Session Border Controllers (SBCs). The goal of this document is to describe the commonly provided functions of SBCs. A special focus is given to those practices that are viewed to be in conflict with SIP architectural principles. This document also explores the underlying requirements of n...

The Advanced Camera for Surveys is equipped with three prisms in the Solar Blind (SBC) and High Resolution (HRC) Channels, which together cover the 1150 – 3500 Å range, albeit at highly non-uniform spectral resolution. We present new wavelengthand flux calibrations of the SBC (PR110L and PR130L) and HRC (PR200L) prisms, based on calibration observations obtained in Cycle 13. The calibration pro...

The current healthcare system is slowly evolving into a new system built on a vision of health promotion, primary care and community-based home care, with hospitals still being a core pillar of the healthcare system but not its primary service. This transformation requires a new approach to practice, namely, Strengths-Based Nursing Care (SBC). SBC is about mobilizing, capitalizing and developin...

A Smart Building Controller (SBC) is a server software that offers secured access to a pool of building specific resources, executes monitoring tasks and performs automatic administration of a building, thus optimizing the exploitation cost and maximizing comfort. This paper brings to discussion the issues that arise with the secure exploitation of the SBC administered resources and proposes a ...

We describe two applications that use rated text documents to induce a model of the user's interests. Based on our experiments with these applications we propose the use of a probabilistic learning algorithm, the Simple Bayesian Classifier (SBC), for user modeling tasks. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the SBC and present a novel extension to this algorithm that is specifically g...

Secretory breast carcinoma (SBC) is a rare type of invasive breast cancer. Since little is known about the biology of this rare tumour, it is useful to report every such case, in order to make as much information as possible available in the medical literature. We present the case of an 18-year-old woman with a SBC treated by mastectomy (Madden) and axillary node dissection (stage pT3N1M0) foll...

Plants interact with a wide assortment of microbial organisms – taking the role of pathogens, mutualists, and commensals. Our knowledge of plant-associated microorganisms has traditionally been based on macroscopic and microscopic structures. In recent decades, the use of both DNA and RNA sequence data derived directly from the environment has been used to study both the taxonomic and functiona...
