Developing oligodendrocytes undergo a well-characterized maturation process that is controlled by extrinsic factors that promote specification, proliferation, and differentiation. Inhibitory factors also influence oligodendrocyte development and may regulate the location and number of oligodendrocytes available for myelination. These factors may also repress regeneration and remyelination after...

The Farmer Field School (FFS) is an intensive training program providing farmers with science based knowledge and practices, including integrated pest management (IPM). Recently there has been intensive debate as to whether or not this kind of training has any significant impact. Most case studies argue that the impact, in terms of a farmer’s ability to reduce the use or pesticides while increa...

The majority of Internet traffic use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as the transport level protocol. It provides a reliable ordered byte stream for the applications. However, applications such as live video streaming place an emphasis on timeliness over reliability. Also a smooth sending rate can be desirable over sharp changes in the sending rate. For these applications TCP is not necessa...

This article presents an analysis of the performance two protocols supported by queuing systems, i.e. MQTT and AMQP. was performed using message brokers - ActiveMQ RabbitMQ. The time sending analyzed, determined on basis receiving for both in above-mentioned systems. tests were carried out proprietary applications written Java Spring application framework.

The Surface Operations Simulator and Scheduler (SOSS) is a fast-time simulation of the airport surface used to rapidly develop and test new surface scheduling concepts. Gate conflicts present a challenge for surface scheduling. A late departure pushback or early arrival sharing the same gate can cause a gate conflict, which if left unmanaged, can lead to surface gridlock. Surface scheduling con...

This article draws on my interviews with middle-aged stayers in rural China's eastern interior the early to mid-2010s explore interactions between gender and non-migration. I use concept of ‘spatial reflexivity’ – individuals' reflections their potential for (im)mobility examine how different stayers' about non-migration were affected by both wider mobility imperatives attachments family, each ...
