The IEEE 802.11e medium access control (MAC) layer protocol is an emerging standard to support quality of service (QoS) in
802.11 wireless networks. Some recent work shows that the 802.11e hybrid coordination function (HCF) can improve significantly
the QoS support in 802.11 networks. A simple HCF referenced scheduler has been proposed in the 802.11e which takes into account
the QoS requirements of flows and allocates time to stations on the basis of the mean sending rate. As we show in this paper,
this HCF referenced scheduling algorithm is only efficient and works well for flows with strict constant bit rate (CBR) characteristics.
However, a lot of real-time applications, such as videoconferencing, have some variations in their packet sizes, sending rates
or even have variable bit rate (VBR) characteristics. In this paper we propose FHCF, a simple and efficient scheduling algorithm
for 802.11e that aims to be fair for both CBR and VBR flows. FHCF uses queue length estimations to tune its time allocation
to mobile stations. We present analytical model evaluations and a set of simulations results, and provide performance comparisons
with the 802.11e HCF referenced scheduler. Our performance study indicates that FHCF provides good fairness while supporting
bandwidth and delay requirements for a large range of network loads.

In seasonal breeders, reproduction is synchronised by day length via the pineal hormone melatonin. In short winter days (short day, SD), the Syrian hamster displays a complete gonadal atrophy together with a marked reduction in expression of kisspeptins (Kp), a family of potent hypothalamic stimulators of GNRH neurons. Both central and peripheral acute injections of Kp have been reported to activate the gonadotropic axis in mammals. The aim of this study was to determine if and how peripheral administration of Kp54 could restore gonadal function in photo-inhibited hamsters. Testicular activity of hamsters kept in SD was reactivated by two daily i.p. injections of Kp54 but not by chronic subcutaneous delivery of the same peptide via mini-pumps. Acute i.p. injection of Kp54-induced FOS (c-Fos) expression in a large number of GNRH neurons and pituitary gonadotrophs together with a strong increase in circulating testosterone. The activation of pituitary cells by Kp was inhibited by preadministration of the GNRH receptor antagonist acyline. Altogether, our results demonstrate that peripheral Kp54 activates the gonadotropic axis by stimulating GNRH release and indicate that an appropriate protocol of long-term systemic Kp administration can recrudesce a photo-inhibited reproductive axis. 相似文献

Dendritic crystals, randomly distributed into the as-quenched Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 bulk metallic glass were characterized by optical microscopy, electron probe microanalysis, X-ray diffraction and electron backscattering diffraction. Oxygen enrichment is observed into these crystallites (formula: Zr7Cu4Al3O, space group: Fd
m, cell parameter: 5.70 Å) demonstrating the negative effect of oxygen, inducing partial crystallization during casting. 相似文献

The interaction between components of the nervous system and multiple target cells in the cutaneous immune system has been receiving increasing attention. It has been observed that certain skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis have a neurogenic component. Neuropeptides released by sensory nerves that innervate the skin and often contact epidermal and dermal cells can directly modulate functions of keratinocytes, Langerhans cells (LC), mast cells, dermal microvascular endothelial cells and infiltrating immune cells. Among these neuropeptides the tachykinins substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NKA), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and somatostatin (SOM) have been reported to effectively modulate skin and immune cell functions such as cell proliferation, cytokine production or antigen presentation under physiological or pathophysiological conditions. Expression and regulation of their corresponding receptors that are expressed on a variety of skin cells as well as the presence of neuropeptide-specific peptidases such as neutral endopeptidase (NEP) or angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) determine the final biological response mediated by these peptides on the target cell or tissue. Likewise, skin cells like keratinocytes or fibroblasts are a source for neurotrophins such as nerve growth factor that are required not only for survival and regeneration of sensory neurons but also to control responsiveness of these neurons to external stimuli. Therefore, neuropeptides, neuropeptide receptors, neuropeptide-degrading enzymes and neurotrophins participate in a complex, interdependent network of mediators that modulate skin inflammation, wound healing and the skin immune system. This review will focus on recent studies demonstrating the role of tachykinins, CGRP, SOM and VIP and their receptors and neuropeptide-degrading enzymes in mediating neurogenic inflammation in the skin. 相似文献

Ti-based biocompatible alloys are especially used for replacing failed hard tissue. Some of the most actively investigated materials for medical implants are the beta-Ti alloys, as they have a low elastic modulus (to inhibit bone resorption). They are alloyed with elements such as Nb, Ta, Zr, Mo, and Fe. We have prepared a new beta-Ti alloy that combines Ti with the non-toxic elements Ta and Mo using a vacuum arc-melting furnace and then annealed at 950 degrees C for one hour. The alloy was finally quenched in water at room temperature. The Ti-12Mo-5Ta alloy was characterised by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, SEM and EDS and found to have a body-centred-cubic structure (beta-type). It had a lower Young's modulus (about 74 GPa) than the classical alpha/beta Ti-6Al-4V alloy (120 GPa), while its Vickers hardness remained very high (about 303 HV). This makes it a good compromise for a use as a bone substitute. The cytocompatibility of samples of Ti-12Mo-5Ta and Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloys with various surface roughnesses was assessed in vitro using organotypic cultures of bone tissue and quantitative analyses of cell migration, proliferation and adhesion. Mechanically polished surfaces were prepared to produce unorientated residual polished grooves and cells grew to a particularly high density on the smoother Ti-12Mo-5Ta surface tested. 相似文献

Oxidation, in oxygen gas at atmospheric pressure, of copper-manganese alloys (Mn content less than 40 at.%) has been investigated between 600 and 850° C. The reaction kinetics, determined by thermogravimetry, follow a parabolic law for alloys having a low manganese content (less than 10 at.% Mn) but are more complex for higher concentrations, particularly in the first stages of the oxidation process. Whereas in the early stages of oxidation the kinetics are controlled by surface reactions which accompany the formation of the different oxide layers, they are later controlled by the diffusion of a mobile species when the parabolic law is followed. In this condition an apparent activation energy may be determined from the rate constants. These energies are of the order of 120–140 kJ mol–1, comparable with that for oxidation of pure copper (134 kj mol–1), indicating a similar oxidation mechanism.The oxide layers formed were identified by cross-checking results of X-ray diffraction, electron microprobe analysis, and from glow discharge spectrometry. External layers of CuO and Cu2O formed on alloys of lower manganese concentration, evolving towards one or several mixed copper-manganese oxide layers with increasing manganese content. Under the external layers, which were weakly adherent to the sample, an internal-oxidation layer formed, which was adherent and consisted of precipitates of Mn3O4/MnO dispersed in the copper lattice. For alloys richer in manganese (36 at. % Mn) and at temperatures above 850°C (20 at.% Mn), the internal-oxidation layer evolved into two zones: MnO particles beneath a zone of Mn3U4 particles. 相似文献
