A wireless mesh network is a self organized set of nodes that are connected by wireless links. Communicating parties that are not in wireless range of each other relay packets via intermediate nodes. A common approach to wireless mesh routing is reactive routing, where a fixed path between the communicating endpoints is established on-demand when a new session is initiated. This paper proposes ...

In this paper, we review the current management of allergic rhinitis and new directions for future treatment. Currently, management includes pharmacotherapy, allergen avoidance and possibly immunotherapy. The simple washing of nasal cavities using isotonic saline provides a significant improvement and is useful, particularly in children. The most effective medication in persistent rhinitis used...

BACKGROUND The carotid artery is a novel access route for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This may represent a viable alternative in patients unsuitable for TAVI via traditional transfemoral access, up to 20%, as well as other access routes such as subclavian, transapical and aortic. This systematic review summarises the current evidence for its safety and feasibility. METHODS...

The geosites of Lemnos represent local touristic products that, beyond their high aesthetic value, display significant scientific links to the geological past as well prehistory and history, archaeology, mythology religious heritage island. unique wealth in combination with abundance archaeological sites, cultural monuments museums composes basis what we define here “Geo-Archaeo-Routes”: certai...

We study a model of interdomain routing in which autonomous systems’ (ASes’) routing policies are based on subjective cost assessments of alternative routes. The routes are constrained by the requirement that all routes to a given destination must be confluent. We show that it is NP-hard to determine whether there is a set of stable routes. We also show that it is NP-hard to find a set of confl...

Travel time data becomes widely available with the deployments of location-based technologies including GPS-equipped vehicles and cell phones, Bluetooth readers, Dedicated Short Range Communication devices, etc. This change has made a shift on the existing distance or historical speed based route guidance to travel time-based route guidance. For example, commercial GP-based navigation system ut...

The efficient analysis of spatio–temporal data, generated by moving objects, is an essential requirement for intelligent location–based services. Spatiotemporal rules can be found by constructing spatio–temporal baskets, from which traditional association rule mining methods can discover spatio–temporal rules. When the items in the baskets are spatio–temporal identifiers and are derived from tr...

This study compares the safety of bicyclists riding on bicycle boulevards to those riding on parallel arterial routes in Berkeley, California. Literature on the impact of motor vehicle traffic characteristics on cyclist safety shows that high motor vehicle speeds and volumes and the presence of heavy vehicles are all detrimental to cyclist safety. This suggests that cyclists may be safer on sid...

The pharmacokinetics of continuous subcutaneous cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) infusions were compared with continuous intravenous infusions. Steady-state serum ara-C levels and myelosuppression were similar with both routes of administration. CSF/serum ara-C ratios ranged from 0.14 to 0.91 (mean, 0.58). Continuous subcutaneous ara-C infusions were a convenient and reliable alternative to intrave...
