Most of today’s mobile devices have at least two wireless network interface cards (NICs). Future devices are expected to have as many as twelve wireless NICs, with different data transmission capacities and a wide range of energy and dollar costs. When multi-NIC devices are running multiple applications, each unit of application data ought to be scheduled on to the network interface that maximi...

In the present study, the effects of formalin as a peripheral noxious stimulus on spontaneously active units of the nucleus reticularis paragigantocellularis (PGi), a narrow region of the ventral pontine reticular formation, was examined in urethane anesthetized rats. Spontaneous discharge of the PGi neurons was variable, ranging from I to 37 spikes per second. Formalin as a chemical irrita...

As shown in some talks [1] of this conference, statistical descriptions work very successfully for multihadron final states in nucleon-nucleon, nucleon-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus collisions. In this approach the chemical equilibrium particle ratios are functions of temperature T and baryon chemical potential μB only . Recently GSI measured Au-Au and Ni-Ni collisions at 0.8 ∼ 2.0 GeV. Some mea...

Ž . ABSTRACT: Density Functional Theory DFT calculations at the B3LYPr631G level have been performed on four bowl-shaped polyaromatic Ž . Ž . Ž . hydrocarbons of C H molecular formula 1]4 showing C 1 , C 2 and 4 , 30 12 3 2 v Ž . and C 3 symmetries. The geometrical and electronic properties of the 2 h compounds studied have been analyzed to explain their relative stability. NMR chemical shifts ...
