This paper describes a pattern-based approach to building packet classifiers. One novelty of the approach is that it can be implemented efficiently in both software and hardware. A performance study shows that the software implementation is about twice as fast as existing mechanisms, and that the hardware implementation is currently able to keep up with OC-12 (622Mbps) network links and is like...

PURPOSE A linear relationship between the density of pores in the inner wall of Schlemm's canal and aqueous outflow facility has been reported previously in a study in which investigators examined only eyes fixed at constant pressure, so that fixative flow rates differed from eye to eye. Because pores may form as a function of flow rate, the purpose in the current study was to verify the previo...

The effect of a single glucose feeding upon the net inflow and outflow transport of plasma free fatty acids (FFA) has been studied in 75 unanesthetized rats. The animals were fasted for 22 +/- 2 hr; then 50 rats were refed 2 ml of 50% glucose by gastric intubation. At 0, 10-15, and 30-35 min after glucose refeeding, the rats were injected with palmitate-1-(14)C complexed to rat serum. The trace...

1. The relations between food intake, reticulo-ruminal motility and abomasal digesta outflow were investigated in ewes receiving lucerne (Medicago sativa) v. orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata) hay. Abomasal digesta outflow was recorded continuously by means of an electromagnetic flowmeter probe inserted into a duodenal T-shape cannula and the motility using strain-gauge force transducers. Volum...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this research was to compare side-to-side (STS) and end-to-side (ETS) anastomoses in a computer model of the arteriovenous fistula with computational fluid dynamic analysis. METHODS A matrix of 17 computer arteriovenous fistula models (SolidWorks, Dassault Systèmes, France) of artery-vein pairs (3-mm-diameter artery + 3-mm-diameter vein and 4-mm-diameter artery +6-mm-dia...

The New Deal for Young People began in January 1998 in a number of ‘pathfinder’ areas before going national in April. In this paper we attempt to measure the effect of the New Deal on unemployment outflow rates in the pathfinder areas using a generalised matching function approach. We use two different methods. First, we pool data across the pathfinder areas and estimate the effect of the New D...

Outflows are common in many astrophysical systems which contain black holes and neutron stars. Difference between stellar outflows and outflows from these systems is that the outflows in these systems have to form out of the inflowing material only. The inflowing material can form a hot and dense cloud surrounding the compact object either because of centrifugal barrier or a denser barrier due ...

Detention rockfill dams are an easy and common tool for flood control. Due to their coarse pores, the flow in void spaces is turbulent and non-Darcy. Different relationships introduced by researchers are used to define the hydraulics of the flow within the rockfill materials. The present research is aimed at gaining a better understanding of the difference among these relationships and the sour...

I present results from numerical simulations of gas dynamics outside luminous accretion disks in active galactic nuclei. The gas, gravitationally captured by a super massive black hole, can be driven away by the energy and momentum of the radiation emitted during black hole accretion. Assuming axisymmetry, I study how the mass accretion and outflow rates, and the flow dynamics respond to change...
