This paper introduces a technique for applying packet arrival rate based queue management to class based scheduling algorithms. This enables a DiffServ architecture with very low packet latency, loss, and high link utilisation. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed technique outperforms the current weighted random early drop (WRED) and weighted fair queue (WFQ) architecture.

The burden of cervical cancer in central and eastern Europe is generally higher compared to western or northern Europe due to a history of mostly opportunistic cervical cancer screening practices and due to the strong influence of political and economic changes in post-communist transition. This article describes the current cervical cancer screening practices, organizational plans for the futu...

あらまし 近年、エンド–エンド間で動作する TCPの輻輳制御機構を補助し、ルータにおいて積極的に輻輳制御を行 う、アクティブキュー管理機構が注目を浴びている。アクティブキュー管理機構には制御パラメータが存在するが、そ の有効性はこれらの制御パラメータの設定に依存する。そのため、アクティブキュー管理機構の制御パラメータ設定 方法に関しては、これまでさまざまな研究が行われてきた。しかし、そのほとんどは、少数のシミュレーション結果か ら、制御パラメータがアクティブキュー管理機構の性能に与える影響を調べているにすぎない。そこで本稿では、多 変量解析手法を用いることにより、膨大な数のシミュレーション結果を統計的に解析し、アクティブキュー管理機構の 制御パラメータが、その性能にどのような影響を与えるかを定量的に明らかにする。本稿では、代表的なアクティブ キュー管理機構である RED (Rando...

The workshop report, entitled Towards Clinical Application of Methylated DNA Sequences as Cancer Biomarkers: A Joint National Cancer Institute's Early Detection Research Network and National Institute of Standards and Technology Workshop, presents a summary of the main issues, current challenges, outcomes, and recommendations toward application of methylated DNA sequences as cancer biomarkers.

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer screening research has predominantly focused on one type of participation, namely compliance with medical recommendations, and has largely ignored other types of participation. While there is some research that has taken a different approach, findings in this research area are not well integrated under a theoretical framework. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to s...

Introduction: Newborn hearing screening leads to the early detection of hearing impairment. The aim of screening is to decrease or remove the effect of hearing impairment on development of speech and language by timely diagnosis and effective treatment. A number of risk factors lead to delayed start of decreased hearing ability including: 1. Congenital infection with cytomegalovirus  (CMV) viru...

background: detection of best predictor of ovarian reserve in patients with temporarily or consistently elevated early follicular phase serum levels of fsh is one of the most important goals in assisted reproductive technique (art). objective: to evaluate whether high level of anti-mullerian hormone level is related to success of art in patients with temporarily or consistently elevated early f...

The current study is focused on determining the mRNA expression levels of tetranectin, to detect oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and thus aiding in its classification at an early stage. RNA was isolated and cDNA synthesis was performed from the saliva samples of the patients and healthy individuals. A semiquantitative PCR based analysis was performed prior to quantitative and expression bas...

Declines in cervical cancer incidence and mortality reported in the United States since the 1950s have been attributed to early detection and treatment of precancerous and cancerous lesions through the use of the Papanicolaou (Pap) test (1). More than 50 million Pap tests are performed each year (2); however, guidelines about the frequency of testing in women with a history of normal test resul...
