WCDMA, Packet data, HSDPA In this paper, the first step of evolving WCDMA beyond IMT-2000 is outlined and elaborated upon. It is shown how techniques such as fast link adaptation, fast hybrid ARQ and fast scheduling, among others, can be applied to WCDMA, leading to increased throughput for best-effort services, lower delays, and downlink peak rates in the order of 10 Mbit/s. The end-to-end pro...

Efficient and accurate methods are needed to move agents (particles with behavior rules) through their environments. To support such applications, this paper presents a compact software architecture that can be used to interface parallel particle tracking software to computational mesh management systems. The in-element particle tracking framework supported by this software architecture is pres...

Abstract—The introduction of service differentiation in the Internet implies that the residual bandwidth available to best-effort traffic becomes highly variable. We explore the design of a rapidly-reactive congestion control framework, where the ECN-aware best-effort flows aggressively go after any unused capacity. By making routers mark packets in a much more aggressive manner, we are able to...

A new lactarane sesquiterpene, 1,2-dehydrolactarolide A (1), together with lactarorufin A (2), 3-O-ethyllactarolide A (3) and 3-O-ethyllactarolide B (4), was isolated from a mushroom of the Russulaceae family, Lactarius vellereus. Additionally, two lactarane sesquiterpenes, lactarorufin A (2) and lactarolide A (5) were isolated from L. subpiperatus. 1,2-Dehydrolactarolide A (1) showed promotion...

Using data representative of the U.S. working population, this research explores age norms for promotional expectations and assesses whether or not they carry with them psychological consequences. Findings reveal some degree of normativity in promotion expectations during two age brackets of the work life span, and they are consistent across assorted structural features. Normative expectations,...
