The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is a transport protocol that provides bidirectional unicast connections of congestion-controlled unreliable datagrams. DCCP is suitable for applications that transfer fairly large amounts of data, but can benefit from control over the tradeoff between timeliness and reliability.

The UCLA Parallel PIC Framework (UPIC) has been developed to provide trusted components for the rapid construction of new, parallel Particle-in-Cell (PIC) codes. The Framework uses object-based ideas in Fortran95, and is designed to provide support for various kinds of PIC codes on various kinds of hardware. The focus is on student programmers. The Framework supports multiple numerical methods,...

New mutations are found among approximately 20% of progeny when one or both parents carry eas allele UCLA191 (eas(UCLA), easily wettable, hydrophobin-deficient, linkage group II). The mutations inactivate the wild-type allele of cya-8 (cytochrome aa3 deficient, linkage group VII), resulting in thin, "transparent" mycelial growth. Other eas alleles fail to produce cya-8 mutant progeny. The recur...

This study evaluated the fit between implants and premachined and castable UCLA abutments. All plastic specimens were cast using the conventional technique in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Five specimens of each experimental group were measured for vertical and horizontal gaps by scanning electronic microscopy (Phillips XL 30 model, Holland). Gold UCLA (vertical gap: 2.15 mic...
