Keeping up with modern high-bandwidth networks is a significant challenge for system designers. A key obstacle to high network throughput is the high overhead of communication between the CPU and network interface controller (NIC), which typically resides on a standard I/O bus with high access latency. We investigate the impact of this overhead by analyzing the performance of hypothetical syste...

We compare the MDL and NIC methods for determining the correct size of a feedforward neural network. The NIC method has to be adapted for this kind of networks. We include an experiment based on a small standard problem.

Chitosan nanoparticles can advance the pharmacological and therapeutic properties of chemotherapeutic agents by controlling release rates and targeted delivery process, which eliminates the limitations of conventional anti-cancer therapies and they are also safe as well as cost-effective. The aim of present study is to explore the anti-tumour effect of niclosamide in lung and breast cancer cell...

This cross-sectional study was carried out at a university hospital to describe the nursing interventions most frequently performed in the clinical practice of an intensive care unit, based on nursing care prescriptions, and to investigate their similarity to the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). The sample consisted of 991 hospitalizations of patients. Data were retrospectively colle...

The most of computing environments in the IT support organization like NIC are designed to run in centralized datacentre. The centralized infrastructure of various development projects are used to deploy their services on it and connecting remotely to that datacentre from all the stations of organization. Currently these servers are mostly underutilized due to the static and conventional approa...

OBJECTIVE Construct and to validate an instrument for measuring the time spent by nursing staff in the interventions/activities in Outpatient Oncology and Hematology, interventions based on Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), for key areas of Pediatric Oncology and Oncology Nursing. METHODS Cross-sectional study divided into two steps: (1) construction of an instrument to measure the ...

Chronic nicotine (NIC) pretreatment has been shown to enhance NICinduced locomotor stimulation, an effect that seems critically dependent on activation of brain dopamine (DA) systems. In the present study the effects of chronic, intermittent NIC treatment were examined in the rat to establish whether such behavioral sensitization is associated with specific, regional changes in brain dopaminerg...

ARKTOS is a fully automated intelligent system that classifies sea ice and that is now being used by the U.S. National Ice Center (NIC) for daily operations related to the NIC’s task of mapping the ice covered oceans. In this paper we describe the process of taking a research project and transitioning it to an operational environment. We discuss the theoretical methodologies implemented in ARKT...

Previous data from our group have demonstrated (Arany I, Grifoni S, Clark JS, Csongradi, Maric C, Juncos LA. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 301: F125-F133, 2011) that chronic nicotine (NIC) exposure exacerbates acute renal ischemic injury (AKI) in mice that could increase the risk for development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). It has been shown that proximal tubules of the kidney ...

Aim of the study was to test the effect of nicotine (NIC) and kainic acid (KA) co-treatment in immature rats. Male Wistar albino rats (two different age groups) were chosen for the study. Experiments started on postnatal day (PD) 8 or 21 and animals were treated twice a day for three days with nicotine, fourth day KA was administered. Animals at PD12 (PD25 respectively) were examined electrophy...
