The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol for medium access control in wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) is the de facto standard for wireless ad hoc networks, however, it does not perform well in terms of delay, throughput, and specially, fairness in multihop wireless ad hoc networks. Many researches have been published in this area. Among them, a modification of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol was proposed...

IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol for medium access control in wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) is the de facto standard for wireless ad hoc networks. However, it does not perform well in terms of fairness, delay and throughput specially, in multihop networks. The problem is due to both the MAC and link layer contentions. Many research papers have been published in these fields. Among them, a modific...

Research suggests family-of-origin violence is a consistent predictor of young adults’ intimate partner violence (IPV). However, prior studies also demonstrate that exposure to violence does not lead in a deterministic fashion to violent behaviors in young adulthood. Given the family context entails more than whether or not abuse occurs, additional aspects of family life warrant examination. On...

Most dissimilatory perchlorate reducing bacteria (DPRB) are also capable of respiratory nitrate reduction, and preferentially utilize nitrate over perchlorate as a terminal electron acceptor. The similar domain architectures and phylogenetic relatedness of the nitrate and perchlorate respiratory complexes suggests a common evolutionary history and a potential for functionally redundant electron...

Abstract Introduction Effects of child temperament on biopsychosocial outcomes, including sleep, are known to differ based parent-child relationship quality (PCRQ). However, previous studies have primarily focused solely early childhood, relied subjective reports PCRQ and neglected examine variability in which is an important dimension sleep health. We examined whether there were interactions b...

Objetivos: determinar la correlación entre el recuento de CD4, carga viral y colonización oral por Candida en personas viviendo con VIH/SIDA (PVVS) que reciben terapia antirretroviral (TAR). Métodos: se realizó un estudio transversal correlacional 35 participantes recibían tratamiento antirretroviral. Mediante citometría flujo determinó CD4; mediante RT-PCRq confirmación aislamiento spp. Result...
