Presently, many communication protocols are under development which are tailored to the eecient high-speed data transfer meeting diierent application-speciic requirements. Our approach concentrates on a framework which facilitates the formal veriication of the protocols. The framework supplies veriied and re-usable implications between predeened protocol and service speciication components. For...

The mouse MHC class I family includes genes encoded in four regions: H-2K, H-2D, Qa and Tla. While K/D genes are well characterized, relatively little is known about Qa or Tla genes. We have studied the transcription of a B10.P Qa region gene. DNA sequence comparisons of the transmembrane region, supported by Southern blot analysis of cosmid and genomic DNAs from BALB/c and C57BL/10, demonstrat...

We describe two proofs of correctness for Cachet, an adaptive cache-coherence protocol. Each proof demonstrates soundness (conformance to an abstract cache memory model CRF) and liveness. One proof is manual, based on a term-rewriting system de nition; the other is machine-assisted, based on a TLA formulation and using PVS. A twostage presentation of the protocol simpli es the treatment of soun...

Skin photodamage, which is induced by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a prevalent cause of skin damage. In this study, transdermal drug delivery system developed for the topical treatment composed tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) and lipoic acid (LA). The tFNAs-LA (TLA) nanocomposite exhibits excellent biocompatibility, as well antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory capabilities....

Autoradiography and light microscopy were used to study the effects of lymphocyte culture supernatants, prepared under a variety of conditions, on the course of intracellular Toxoplasma gondii infection in human monocyte-derived macrophages in vitro. Supernatants prepared by incubating lymphocytes of dye test- (DT) positive subjects with T. gondii lysate antigen (TLA), lymphocytes of DT/negativ...

We present a case study on the use of the +CAL specification language as applied to the process interaction semantics of the MPI standard. We also present preliminary, but highly encouraging, results from a generalization of the notion of cluster-based partial-order reduction in the context of +CAL model checking. Called generalized static reduction (GSR), this approach takes advantage of the c...

Location management plays a significant role in current and future wireless mobile networks in effectively delivering services to the mobile users on the move. Many schemes have been proposed and investigated extensively in the last decade. However, most performance analyses were carried out either under simplistic assumptions on some time variables or via simulations. In this paper, we present...

Teacher beliefs have a powerful impact on the development of classroom instructional practices. This article reports results research that investigated beliefs, practices, self-efficacy, and emerging ideologies 268 pre-service teachers (PSTs) who were preparing for primary secondary school contexts (Grades Kindergarten through 12; K-12), had just taken course teacher language awareness (TLA), m...

Agropedološka istraživanja su u funkciji izrade podloga idejnog rješenja Retencije Drežničko polje, (Vidaček Ž., 2004.). Pedološki pokrov čine Smeđe tlo na vapnencu, Tlo vrtača i manjih depresija, ilovači pseudoglejno, Pseudoglej zaravni Močvarno glejno epiglejno tlo. Površinu polja većinom pokrivaju livade košanice, a sjevernom dijelu se nalazi hrastova šuma. Uvažavajući kriterije načela konve...
