Defects in red blood cell (RBC) membrane skeleton components cause hereditary spherocytosis (HS). Clinically, HS varies significantly even among individuals with identical gene defects, illustrating the profound effects of genetic background on disease severity. We exploited a new spontaneous mouse model, wan, which arose on the inbred C3H/HeJ strain, to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) t...

In this research, we propose an architectural solution to integrate the video voice over IP (V2oIP) services in campus environment network and tested over LAN and WAN. Voice over IP (VoIP) technology has become a discussion issue for this time being. Today, the deployment of this technology on an organization truly can give a great financial benefit over traditional telephony. Therefore, this s...

In this experiment, we used streptozotocin (STZ) to establish a model of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) rats, where Zuogui Wan was given to GDM rats. After pregnancy, offspring rats were divided into 4 groups: control group, high fat and sugar as the control group, GDM group, and Zuogui Wan GDM group. Rats in high fat and sugar as the control group, GDM group, and Zuogui Wan GDM group were...

The unprecedented growth of data at geographically distributed locations coupled with tremendous improvement in networking capabilities over the last decade strongly motivate the need for efficient data management in widearea network (WAN) environments such as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks and GRIDs. In particular, data availability and performance demands on WAN applications are now greater than...

Due to advances in network technologies, providing streaming services over the Internet has gained in popularity. Because P video stream is in compressed format, it is naturally with the variable bit rate (VBR) property and its traffic is highly burst. With the installation of a video proxy between access networks (e.g. local area networks, LAN) and backbone networks (e.g. wide area networks, W...

The video content for on-demand services is generally stored and streamed in a compressed format. The compressed video is naturally with the VBR (variable-bit-rate) property and the stream traffic is highly burst. Subject to the QoS-guaranteed playback, the WAN bandwidth needs to allocate the video's peak bit rate if there is no client buffer for regulating the video delivery [7][8][9][10][11]....

The aggregation and denoising of crowd labeled data is a task that has gained increased significance with the advent of crowdsourcing platforms and massive datasets. In this paper, we propose a permutation-based model for crowd labeled data that is a significant generalization of the common Dawid-Skene model, and introduce a new error metric by which to compare different estimators. Working in ...
