Thromboembolism (TE) has recently been recognized as a clinical entity in children. Determining the clinical characteristics of pediatric TE is an important first step in dealing with this new disorder. The paper summarizes 1776 consecutive children with systemic TE referred to 1-800-NO-CLOTS telephone consultation service. 1-800-NO-CLOTS is a free consultation service for clinicians managing p...

As a soft-state protocol, RSVP specifies that each RSVP node sends periodic control messages to maintain the state for active RSVP sessions. The protocol overhead due to such periodic messages grows linearly with the number of RSVP sessions. One may reduce the overhead by using a longer refresh period, which unfortunately leads to longer delays in re-synchronizing RSVP state. In this paper we i...

It is shown that the Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy inference mechanism is optimal with respect to a certain criterion that quantiies the controversy between the inference made, and the knowledge represented in the knowledge-base.

In this paper we propose a novel method of dynamic RSVP’s reservations, based on knowledge about the sending stream. The proposed solution is able to assure better link utilization than classis RSVP reservations and offer no worse QoS for HD video transmission than the typical RSVP reservations.
