This is a summary of our assesment of QoS capabilities of the JuniperM10 router. We performed this assesment as a part of our QoS in IP project. This is not a scientific test, just our practical view based on our experience with QoS-related topics. We are gathering information about current possibilities of network QoS implementations available with various equipment and technologies. We are pr...

This document describes generic requirements for Pseudo-Wire Emulation Edge to Edge (PWE3). It provides guidelines for other working group documents that will define mechanisms for providing pseudo-wire emulation of specific services such as Ethernet, ATM, Frame Relay, TDM, and MPLS. It should be noted that the PWE3 Working Group (PWE3 WG) standardizes mechanisms that can be used to provide PWE...

Scrutinizing of different aspects in vegetative propagation of Iranian J. communis L. is of prime importance in order to prevent extinction of such valuable conifer. In this research, the effects of different seasons, gender, different chemical compounds (IBA, PBZ, putrescine and sodium nitroprusside) and three strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes on ex-vitro rooting c...

Tree-removal treatments have been broadly applied across piñon-juniper ecosystems of the western United States to reduce tree cover, stimulate understory plant production, and promote habitat for shrub- grassland-obligate wildlife species. Mastication become an increasingly common approach, yet efficacy these can vary on basis a variety factors, including soil characteristics, woodland structur...

Rising temperatures and aridification, combined with the stressing effect of some hemiparasitic plants such as mistletoes, may contribute to reduce vigour growth trees shrubs leading dieback increasing mortality. This has been rarely explored in pioneer junipers, which are assumed be more drought tolerant than coexisting trees. To test these ideas, we reconstructed radial patterns common junipe...

Since the late 1800s, pinyon–juniper woodland across western U.S. has increased in density and areal extent encroached into former grassland areas. The San Carlos Apache Tribe wants to gain qualitative quantitative information on historical conditions of their tribal woodlands use as a baseline for restoration efforts. At Reservation, east-central Arizona, large swaths containing varying mixtur...

The development of the parameters of ozone decontamination method assuring the least possible losses of biologically active substances (essential oils and polyphenols) and their activity in common juniper (Juniperus communis (L.)) berries was studied. Ozone treatment in dynamic bed was conducted 9 times. The process was conducted under different ozone concentrations (100.0; 130.0; 160.0 g O3/m3...

Herbivores are predicted to evolve appropriate mechanisms to process the plant secondary compounds (PSCs) in their diet, and these mechanisms are likely specific to particular suites of PSCs. Changes in diet composition over evolutionary time should select for appropriate alterations in metabolism of the more recent dietary components. We investigated differences in gene expression profiles in ...

OBJECTIVES The respiratory pathogen Chlamydia pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) produces acute and chronic lung infections and is associated with asthma. Evidence for effectiveness of antichlamydial antibiotics in asthma is limited. The primary objective of this pilot study was to investigate the feasibility of performing an asthma clinical trial in practice settings where most asthma is encountered a...
