Packet collisions caused by the standard Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) protocol in wireless local area networks (WLANs) have been a challenging problem leading to congestion and reduced throughput.To solve this problem, we propose a novel backoff state generation algorithm, called adaptive virtual backoff algorithm (AVBA), operating in an
Medical malpractice and intracranial hemorrhages in the U.S.: An analysis of 121 cases over 35 years
Introduction: Though all physicians are at risk for medical malpractice litigation, those in surgical specialties, particularly neurosurgeons, are at increased risk.Because intracranial hemorrhages are a life-threatening and commonly misdiagnosed condition, the aim of this study is to identify and increase awareness of factors associated with litig
Challenges and solutions to the scale-up of porous materials
Abstract With increasing pace, crystalline open frameworks are moving to larger scale, mature Generator Brake applications that stretch as broadly as catalysis, separation, water purification, adsorption, sensing, biomineralization and energy storage.A particular challenge in this development can be the unexpected variation in material properties f
Resources for assigning MeSH IDs to Japanese medical terms
Medical Hair Extensions Subject Headings (MeSH), a medical thesaurus created by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), is a useful resource for natural language processing (NLP).In this article, the current status of the Japanese version of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) is reviewed.Online investigation found that Japanese-English dictionaries, w
Effects of Acute Aerobic Exercise on Rats Serum Extracellular Vesicles Diameter, Concentration and Small RNAs Content
Physical exercise stimulates organs, mainly the skeletal muscle, to release a broad range of molecules, recently dubbed exerkines.Among them, RNAs, such as miRNAs, piRNAs, and tRNAs loaded in extracellular vesicles (EVs) have the potential to play a significant role in the way muscle and other organs communicate to translate exercise into health.Lo
