allergic rhinitis (ar) is a common global health problem with approximately one quarter of  the  world population  affected. the  quality of  life (qol)  of  sufferers with ar is significantly affected. the aim of this study was to evaluate the qol of adults with ar. this study was designed for adults with ar above 18 years old. the study was conducted using a valid rhinitis quality of life que...

This document describes a possible congestion control mechanism for acknowledgement (ACKs) traffic in TCP. The document specifies an end-to-end acknowledgement congestion control mechanism for TCP that uses participation from both TCP hosts: the TCP data sender and the TCP data receiver. The TCP data sender detects lost or Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)-marked ACK packets, and tells the...

This paper develops a spatial general equilibrium model to explore the endogenous relations between urban sprawl, job decentralization, and traffic congestion, and then compare the efficiency and welfare impacts of anti-congestion policies. Results suggest that congestion spurs firms to decentralize and agglomerate away from the urban center, with households living more centrally. A congestion-...

Substance containing two ?-congested aromatic systems are attractive targets in synthetic studies as well efforts designed to explore the unique properties that originate from ?-congestion. Since time of computational by Schleyer and Warner, concept stacked aromaticity created encounter antiaromatic rings has received much attention. A structure ?-congestion between norcorrole was prepared Shin...

Aim To determine the clinical correlates of increased red blood cell distribution width (RDW), its potential mechanistic association with multiple circulating biomarkers, and prognostic value in patients type 2 diabetes (T2D) who had a recent acute coronary syndrome. Methods We used time-updated Cox models applied to enrolled Examination Cardiovascular Outcomes Alogliptin versus Standard Care (...

| Typical placement objectives involve reducing net-cut cost or minimizing wirelength. Congestion minimization is the least understood, however, it models routability most accurately. In this paper, we study the congestion minimization problem during placement. First, we show that a global placement with minimum wirelength has minimum total congestion. We show that minimizing wirelength may (an...

In this article, we propose a unified solution called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for Non-Congestion Events (TCP NCE), to overcome the performance degradation of TCP due to non-congestion events over wireless networks. TCP NCE is capable to reduce the unnecessary reduction of congestion window size and retransmissions caused by non-congestion events such as random loss and packet reorde...

Congestion remains one of the main obstacles to the Quality of Service (QoS) on the Internet. We think that a good solution to Internet congestion should optimally combine congestion signaling from network and source reaction, with the following as its main goals: minimum losses and delays, maximum network utilization, fairness among flows, and last but not least, scalability of the solution. T...

Quantum temporal peculiarities, involving ordinary and weak measurements, are explored. We introduce the foundations of weak measurement and outline some novel theoretical and experimental predictions derived from it. We then show how weak values, which explicitly depend on both forward and backward evolving state-vectors, can serve as important tools for gaining new insights into the nature of...

Power-Recycled Weak-Value-Based Metrology Report Title We improve the precision of the interferometric weak-value-based beam deflection measurement by introducing a power recycling mirror, creating a resonant cavity. This results in all the light exiting to the detector with a large deflection, thus eliminating the inefficiency of the rare postselection. The signal-tonoise ratio of the deflecti...
