Background The optimal stimulation protocol for poor responder patients is a therapeutic challenge. GnRH antagonist protocol has been proposed as a potentially proper option for poor responders. Nevertheless, there is no significant difference in terms of clinical pregnancy and cancellation rates be tween the GnRH antagonist and agonist cycles. Therefore, this subset of patients might be the be...

We design a bandwidth and latency aware application layer multicast protocol to stream multimedia content. This protocol considers network bandwidth heterogeneity, in which the cluster population is bounded by the capacity of the access point. The cluster range is limited by the end-to-end latency threshold. This protocol achieves high scalability by distributed and local administration. The ap...

Essential to adaptive devices is the ability to reconfigure Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols to environment conditions and application requirements. We propose MadMAC, a platform for building reconfigurable MAC protocols on commodity 802.11x hardware. Programming on top of MadWiFi, MadMAC transmits packets at configurable time and frame format. In this paper, we build a TDMA-based MAC prot...

We present a system of architectural design patterns for the implementation of flexible, extensible, and maintainable application tailored network protocol software in end-systems. The pattern system mainly follows a vertical structuring approach. Outsourced De-Multiplexing reduces cross-talk between different protocol sessions. Data-Path Reification assures service extensibility and quality of...

Although modularized protocol frameworks are flexible and adaptive to the increasing heterogeneity of networking environments, it remains a challenge to automatically compose communication stacks from protocol modules. The typical static classification into network layers or class hierarchies cannot appropriately accommodate cross-cutting changes such as overlay routing or cross-layer signaling...

background :  sequence-based identification of various microorganisms including archaea, bacteria, cyanobacteria, diatoms, fungi, and green algae necessitates an efficient and reproducible genome extraction procedure though which a pure template dna is yielded and it can be used in polymerase chain reactions (pcr). considering the fact that dna extraction from these microorganisms is time consu...

Over the last decade the mobile industry spawned numerous wireless technologies and access systems with different capabilities that coexist forming a new era in the area of wireless technologies. The current trend is the facilitation and the combination of the capabilities of the different systems, and is introduced within the reconfigurability concept. The latter lies in the dynamic adaptation...
