Tunnel Broker model, as defined in RFC3053, is a solution to the automation of IPv6 address assignment and IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel management. Tunnel server selection and fault tolerance are two big problems for a Tunnel Broker system. Anycast makes it possible to solve the tunnel server selection problem and improve the system’s fault tolerance. This paper proposes an architecture of the Tunnel ...

BACKGROUND Environmental pollutants are thought to be one of major triggers of atopic dermatitis (AD). OBJECTIVE We attempted to evaluate the clinical effects of environment with low indoor pollutant levels on AD management. METHODS Fifty-one children (mean age 1.7 years) with moderate to severe AD who failed to show improvement with conventional management were recruited. Disease severity ...

numerous causes are reported for ulnar nerve compression at the wrist, known as guyon's tunnel syndrome. in the present article, a patient with guyon's tunnel syndrome during pregnancy concomitant with an anomaly of ulnar nerve is described. a 29-year-old iranian woman presented with clinical features of guyon's tunnel syndrome (pain and paresthesia in the fifth finger of the left hand and atro...

AIM The aim of this study was to try to find parametric ratios for the diagnosis and pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome using MR. MATERIAL AND METHODS Dominant side wrist MRI examinations of 27 female carpal tunnel patients and 21 normal females were compared. The carpal tunnel contents area / carpal tunnel cross section area ratio was defined, analysed and discussed with the literatur...

Unborn children are exposed to environmental pollutants via the placenta, and there is a causal relationship between maternal intake of pollutants and fetal exposure. Placental examination is an effective way for acquiring data for estimating fetal exposure. We analyzed the concentrations of 104 congeners of persistent organic pollutants, seven organotin compounds, five heavy metals, and methyl...

in this paper, a systematic approach is presented for optimal design of tunnel support lining using two-dimensional finite element analysis models of soil-structure interaction developed in abaqus software and the modified colliding bodies optimization (mcbo) algorithm implemented in matlab environment. this approach is then employed to study the influence of variable geometrical and geo-mechan...

conclusion the anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome is a known disease. a high index of clinical suspicion is required while dealing with the chronic cases. a detailed history to rule out any traumatic event is necessary too. timely investigations and surgical release give dramatic relief. case presentation a 40 -year-old male patient was presented with the history of persistent pain along the dorsa...

How to make IPv4 users utilize IPv6 applications is a typical scenario of the IPv4/IPv6 inter-operation. Nowadays, Tunnel Broker and 6to4 tunnel mechanisms are the popular solutions for this problem. This paper proposes a multihoming based algorithm MI46 to integrate Tunnel Broker and 6to4 tunnel mechanism. It overcomes the shortcomings of both Tunnel Broker and the 6to4 tunnel mechanism to for...

The purpose of this paper is to analyse and compare the values of a marginal change in the area of land as a pollutant sink under different decision-making contexts and objectives: international coordination versus national policies for pollutant reduction, and maximization of net benefits versus minimization of costs for pollutant reductions. The analytical results show that a coordinated poli...
