Two important haematological problems were found in an otherwise healthy 78 year old man: chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia; and a complex, acquired, hyperfibrinolytic bleeding disorder characterized by prolonged coagulation times, deficiency of coagulation factors V, X, and XI, anti-thrombin III and proteins C and S, with high concentrations of circulating tissue plasminogen activator, and low ...

We present several optical interconnection structures which support communication requirements unique to multiprocessor systems, namely, broadcasting, multicasting, simulcasting, and multiport memory access. The structures are based on guided wave time division multiplexed channels and use coincident pulse techniques to optically demultiplex individual bits at selected destinations. We describe...

In this paper we study the robust stability of uncertain quasipolynomials, whose coef£cients may vary in a certain prescribed range. We consider speci£cally the co-called interval and diamond quasipolynomials, and our goal is to develop vertexand edge type-conditions for these quasipolynomial families to be robustly stable independent of delay. Moreover, we also present a number of extensions t...
