For many different applications, current information about the bandwidth-related metrics of the utilized connection is very useful as they directly impact the performance of throughput sensitive applications such as streaming servers, IPTV and VoIP applications. In literature, several tools have been proposed to estimate major bandwidth-related metrics such as capacity, available bandwidth and achievable throughput. The vast majority of these tools fall into one of Packet Pair (PP), Variable Packet Size (VPS), Self-Loading of Periodic Streams (SLoPS) or Throughput approaches. In this study, seven popular bandwidth estimation tools including nettimer, pathrate, pathchar, pchar, clink, pathload and iperf belonging to these four well-known estimation techniques are presented and experimentally evaluated in a controlled testbed environment. Differently from the rest of studies in literature, all tools have been uniformly classified and evaluated according to an objective and sophisticated classification and evaluation scheme. The performance comparison of the tools incorporates not only the estimation accuracy but also the probing time and overhead caused.
Once aberrantly activated, the Wnt/βcatenin pathway may result in uncontrolled proliferation and eventually cancer. Efforts to counter and inhibit this pathway are mainly directed against βcatenin, as it serves a role on the cytoplasm and the nucleus. In addition, speciallygenerated lymphocytes are recruited for the purpose of treating liver cancer. Peripheral blood mononuclear lymphocytes are expanded by the timely addition of interferon γ, interleukin (IL)1β, IL2 and anticluster of differentiation 3 antibody. The resulting cells are called cytokineinduced killer (CIK) cells. The present study utilised these cells and combine them with drugs inhibiting the Wnt pathway in order to examine whether this resulted in an improvement in the killing ability of CIK cells against liver cancer cells. Drugs including ethacrynic acid (EA) and ciclopirox olamine (CPX) were determined to be suitable candidates, as determined by previous studies. Drugs were administered on their own and combined with CIK cells and then a cell viability assay was performed. These results suggest that EAtreated cells demonstrated apoptosis and were significantly affected compared with untreated cells. Unlike EA, CPX killed normal and cancerous cells even at low concentrations. Subsequent to combining EA with CIK cells, the potency of killing was increased and a greater number of cells died, which proves a synergistic action. In summary, EA may be used as an antihepatocellular carcinoma drug, while CPX possesses a high toxicity to cancerous as well as to normal cells. It was proposed that EA should be integrated into present therapeutic methods for cancer.
Amaç: Keton cisim oluşumu (ketogenez) bozuklukları; mitokondriyel 3-hidroksi-3metil glutaril CoA sentaz (Mhs) ve 3-hidroksi-3-metil glutaril CoA liyaz (HL) enzim eksiklikleri sonucu oluşur. Keton cisim yıkımı (ketoliz) bozuklukları ise suksinil CoA: 3 oksoasit CoA transferaz (SCOT) ve asetoasetil CoA thiolaz-beta ketotiolaz (MAT) enzim eksiklikleri sonucu oluşmaktadır. Keton metabolizma bozukluğu tanısıyla izlenen hastaların klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları ile değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.
Yöntem: Keton metabolizması bozukluğu tanısıyla izlenen hasta verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi.
Bulgular: Dört hastada HL eksikliği, 3 hastada MAT eksikliği ve 2 hastada SCOT eksikliği tanısı mevcuttu. Hastaların ortanca yaşı 5 yıl (6 ay-15,5 yıl), ilk metabolik dekompanzasyon atak yaşı ortalama 7,7 ay (22 gün-19 ay) idi. MAT eksikliği olan bir hasta, kardeş taraması ile asemptomatik dönemde tanı aldı. İki hastada spastik tetraparezi gibi ağır nörolojik defisit gelişti. Dekompanzasyon ataklarının beslenememe, kusma ve gastroenterit gibi infeksiyon sonrası geliştiği görüldü.
Sonuç: Açıklanamayan metabolik asidoz atakları durumunda keton metabolizma bozuklukları akılda tutulmalıdır. Akut dekompanzasyon değişik yaşlarda ortaya çıkabilir, klinik şiddeti değişken olabilir. Erken tanı ve uygun tedavi mortalite ve morbidite açısından çok önemlidir.
Design optimization techniques are often used at the beginning of the design process to explore the space of possible designs. In these domains illumination algorithms, such as MAP-Elites, are promising alternatives to classic optimization algorithms because they produce diverse, high-quality solutions in a single run, instead of only a single near-optimal solution. Unfortunately, these algorithms currently require a large number of function evaluations, limiting their applicability. In this article we introduce a new illumination algorithm, Surrogate-Assisted Illumination (SAIL), that leverages surrogate modeling techniques to create a map of the design space according to user-defined features while minimizing the number of fitness evaluations. On a two-dimensional airfoil optimization problem SAIL produces hundreds of diverse but high-performing designs with several orders of magnitude fewer evaluations than MAP-Elites or CMA-ES. We demonstrate that SAIL is also capable of producing maps of high-performing designs in realistic three-dimensional aerodynamic tasks with an accurate flow simulation. Data-efficient design exploration with SAIL can help designers understand what is possible, beyond what is optimal, by considering more than pure objective-based optimization.
Im Zusammenhang mit der Rhythmisierung des Schulalltags spielen Pausen eine wichtige Rolle. Dass Pausen für die Regeneration und Wiederherstellung der Leistungsfähigkeit bedeutsam sind, scheint allgemein anerkannt. Die Autoren fassen im folgenden Beitrag zusammen, welche wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse es über die Effekte der Gestaltung und der Dauer von Pausen gibt.
Design and Analysis of an OFDM-Based Orthogonal Chaotic Vector Shift Keying Communication System
(2018)
We propose a new non-coherent multicarrier spread-spectrum system that combines orthogonal chaotic vector shift keying (OCVSK) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). The system enhances OCVSK by sending multiple groups of information sequences with the same orthogonal chaotic vector reference sequences over the selected subcarriers. Each group carries M information bits and is separated from other groups by orthogonal chaotic reference signals. We derive the information rate enhancement (IRE) and the energy saving enhancement (ESE) factors as well as the bit error rate theory of OFDM-OCVSK under additive white Gaussian noise and multipath Rayleigh fading channels and compare the results with conventional OCVSK systems. For large group numbers, the results show that the IRE and ESE factors approachM×100% andM/(M+1)×100%, respectively, and thus outperform OCVSK systems. The complexity analysis of the proposed scheme as compared with OFDM-DCSK shows a significant reduction in the number of complex multiplications required.
