End-to-end available bandwidth estimation between Internet hosts is important to understand network congestion and enhance the performance of Quality-of-Service (QoS) demanding applications. In this paper, we investigate model-based available bandwidth measurement via the use of an active probing stream. A general end-to-end measurement framework, which unifies the current research approaches a...

Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction: Should we continue lacrimal massage till 1 year or perform an office probing at 6 months? A clinical decision analysis approach Sir, We read the study by Bhandari et al. [1] with interest. It was of particular interest to us because probing for the congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) remains the second most common ocular surgical interventi...

Measurements of end-to-end available bandwidth is getting increasingly important in the Internet. Many measurement methods are based on analysis of the dispersion of probe packets that have traversed the network according to some probing scheme. In this paper we present a theoretical framework to model interactions, at the discrete packet level, between probe packets and cross-traffic packets f...

background: since preterm delivery is an important problem in obstetrics, it is necessary to know the risk factors. periodontal disease is an infectious disease and infection is risk factor for preterm delivery. respecting to the mechanisms of preterm delivery and because involved mediators in this procedure are synthesized in periodontal disease, gum disease is investigated as risk factor for ...

statement of the problem subgingival irrigation with an antimicrobial agent after scaling and root planing (srp) is assumed to be able to kill the bacteria left behind after mechanical debridement. 3% h2o2 is used in the treatment of periodontal disease and it has been shown effective in killing anaerobic pathogens. purpose the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effects of subgingiv...

We investigate the problem of placing monitors to localize node failures in a communication network from binary states (normal/failed) of end-to-end paths, under the assumption that a path is in normal state if and only if it contains no failed nodes. To uniquely localize failed nodes, the measurement paths must show different symptoms (path states) under different failure events. Our goal is t...

Calculus consists of mineralised dental biofilm on the surfaces of teeth and dental prosthesis, the location of which can be detected by using a periodontal or an electronic probe. Detection of subgingival calculus is critical for successful treatment outcome in the management of periodontal patients. The aim of this study was to detect subgingival calculus using manual and electronic probe and...

Probing is a reliable surgical intervention for the management of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO). However, it is a blind procedure that carries the risk of false passage formation. Moreover, its success rate is variable, with unexplained causes of failure. Recent literature suggests the use of nasal endoscopic-assisted probing to minimize nasal mucosal trauma, decreases the ch...
