We present a pricing scheme for guaranteed service architectures. Under our scheme, the user is charged according to the resources required to guarantee the demanded quality of service level. The network and the user are assumed to form a tra c contract, where the service level and the tra c characteristics are contractually xed. The user's stream is subsequently policed or shaped. The paramete...

The essentially satisfactory results from the ICLH implant as used until 1975 were marred by examples of loosening and sinking of the tibial implant, by patellar pain of varying severity, by wear of the tibial implant caused by fragments of cement and by failure consistently to control the alignment of the leg. This report describes the methods now being used to overcome these complications and...

The Method of Model Microfields proposed by Brissaud and Frisch is applied to calculate Stark broadened profiles of hydrogen lines in the static ion approximation. Numerical results for L-a, H-a, and H-ß are found to be in good agreement with those derived from the unified theory by Vidal, Cooper, and Smith over a wide range of plasma densities and temperatures. This demon­ strates that reliabl...

The present report deals with the measurement of fall-out radioactivity in Denmark in 1974. Strontium-90 was determined in samples from all over the country of precipitation, soil, ground water, sea water, grass, dried milk, fresh milk, grain, bread, potatoes, vegetables, fruit, total diet, drinking water, and human bone. Furthermore, 90Sr was determined in local samples of air, rain water, gra...

Established in 1950, the Planned Parenthood Center of Tucson provided Arizona women with family planning [3] resources until 1977, when it expanded to locations outside of Tucson and became Planned Parenthood of Southern Arizona. The Planned Parenthood Center of Tucson was formed after the Clinica Para Madres, the first birth control [4] clinic in Arizona, merged with the national organization ...

BACKGROUND Millennium Development Goal 5 (MDG 5) targets a 75% reduction in maternal mortality from 1990 to 2015, yet accurate information on trends in maternal mortality and what drives them is sparse. We aimed to fill this gap for Malawi, a country in sub-Saharan Africa with high maternal mortality. METHODS We reviewed the literature for population-based studies that provide estimates of th...

In fiscal year 1978, social welfare expenditures under public laws reached $394.5 billion, a 9.1-percent increase over the previous year. When adjusted for price and population changes, the total was only 2.5 percent higher in "real" terms. Per capita real expenditures rose by 1 percent in 1978, compared with an increase of 2 percent in 1977. For the second successive year, social welfare expen...

Introduction This year the emphasis is on the interaction of different disciplines on Surgery. The search for more accurate 'non-invasive' investigations of abdominal disease has led to interesting advances in the use of ultrasound and computerized axial tomography, rivalled only by the developments in sophisticated radiology. As more and more drugs come on the market, the surgeon encounters mo...
