Proto-Indo-European Lexicon (PIE Lexicon) is the generative etymological dictionary of Indo-European languages. The reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European (PIE) is obtained by applying the comparative method, the output of which equals the Indo-European (IE) data. Due to this the Indo-European sound laws leading from PIE to IE, revised in Pyysalo 2013, can be coded using Finite-State Transducers...

In this paper, the Alpha Tuning Mechanism for distributed queue dual bus (DQDB) networks is proposed. This mechanism achieves a match between the users’ demand and the resulting protocol’s service patterns. The use of a tunable a-parameter (representing some fictitious user population) and access protection lead to dynamic bandwidth control capability. The inherently position dependent fairness...

Meal and snack patterns are associated with energy and nutrient intakes and consequently health and nutritional status. The aim of this paper is to describe the percentage of daily energy intake from meals and afternoon snack among Malaysian adults. The study included a representative sample of adults aged 18-59 years (n=7349) from a nationwide Food Consumption Survey conducted by the Ministry ...

The problem of the replacement of blood in the event of blood loss or in blood disease has captivat ed the minds of men for centuries. As the source of fresh blood, animal blood was used, but severe transfusion reactions followed these initial at tempts. Agglutination and hemolysis of the red blood cells were observed. Later, transfusion was successfully performed by the use of blood from the s...

The process of monoclonal antibody (MAI») binding to tumor cells is greatly influenced by the biology of the respective antigen. This was concluded from an analysis of binding and release of MAns and MAli fragments to melanoma cells at different concentration levels and different temperatures. With an antigen known to be stably expressed at the cell surface (i.e., M, 97,000 protein) rapid bind...

Wireless communication networks are relatively inexpensive to deploy, easy to install, and offer high flexibility over wired communication networks. This is why wireless communication is a popular choice of communication for Local and Wide Area Networks (LANs/MANs), termed Wireless LAN/MAN (WLAN/WMAN). Efficient mechanisms are needed to ensure an acceptable level of wireless communication perfo...

In 2010, the NCS (Netherlands Commission on Radiation Dosimetry) installed a subcommittee to develop guidelines for quality assurance and control for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) treatments. The report (published in 2015) has been written by Dutch medical physicists and has therefore, inevitably, a Dutch focus. This paper is a condensed version of these guidelines, the full report in...
