Autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia with thinning of corpus callosum (ARHSP-TCC) is a complex form HSP initially described in Japan but subsequently reported to have worldwide distribution particular high frequency multiple families from the Mediterranean basin. We recently showed that ARHSP-TCC commonly associated mutations SPG11/KIAA1840 on chromosome 15q. now screened collection new patients mainly originating Italy and Brazil, order further ascertain spectrum SPG11, enlarge ethnic...

In this paper, we propose and evaluate an overlay distribution algorithm for P2P, chunk-based, streaming systems over forest-based topologies. such systems, the stream is divided in chunks; chunks are delivered by each node a store-and-forward way. A relaying starts distributing chunk only when it has completed its reception from another node. Peers logically organized forest of trees, where tree includes all peers. The source periodically distributes different to their delivery. Our key...

The ETSI/3GPP standardization body has defined a general location services (LCS) UMTS architecture which i) provides assistance data for mobile phones equipped with satellite navigation receivers and ii) is able to localize not or out of coverage. Nevertheless, the most already deployed systems location-based either assume that are limit themselves collect transmit data, derive position from identifier serving cells. As accuracy methods based on cell identifiers depends size it may drop even...

In this paper, we present a chunk scheduling algorithm for mesh-based peer-to-peer live streaming system and evaluate it by simulations over large-scale networks. Literature papers typically design algorithms considering the delivery ratio as performance metric. We propose push-based algorithm, which not only tries to maximize but also takes into account minimize delay of chunks at peer nodes. This is an important requirement, when dealing with real-time multimedia flows. Another...

Reliable detection of thoracic aortic dilatation (TAD) is mandatory in clinical routine. For ECG-gated CT angiography, automated deep learning (DL) algorithms are established for diameter measurements according to current guidelines. non-ECG gated (contrast enhanced (CE) and non-CE), however, only a few reports available. In these reports, classification as TAD frequently unreliable with variable result quality depending on anatomic location the root presenting worst results. Therefore, this...

Despite its recent release, the mobile agent JADE platform is attracting scientific community attention for effective and seamless portability. Unlike most of research efforts, which have so far focused mainly on framework architecture technical design issues, this paper aims at showing performance measurements. First, we assess effect two different factors, operating system execution environment, container start up operations. A statistical approach based ANOVA analysis has been followed....

More precisely, goal this to present real test-bed, whose main demonstrate how LR-WPANs can fully inter-operate with IP networks.

Due to the lack of IP support, ZigBee protocol stack for IEEE 802.15.4 low rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs) is perfect solution closed, ad-hoc environments. However, we can envisage also open and interconnected application scenarios, such as Internet Things or integration ZigBee/IEEE nodes in mobile/smart phones, that would greatly benefit from support. The LoWPAN adaptation layer proposed by 6LoWPAN IETF working group enable transmission/reception IPv6 data may be regarded...

Fluid-flow simulation models of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are an effective way to properly account for low-level network bottleneck details, meanwhile circumventing the scalability limits imposed by packet-based simulators. A fundamental component in a fluid-flow simulator is algorithm computation achievable per-flow rate several competing flows offered given topology. This paper presents novel efficient approach compute, exact manner (i.e. with no approximations), max-min fair allocation....

This position paper aims at proposing a new relative localization strategy for GSM cellular networks. We in particular consider network scenario where only limited number of mobile phones is known positions. the case which are equipped with satellite navigation receivers and know their absolute position. Such will be referred to as located phones. Mobile either not or out coverage do they un-located In both cases Relative means then locate by exploiting presence neighbor communication...

The paper focus is on the minimum mean square error (MSE) estimation methods in RSS-based localization techniques. We particular discuss three different criteria: i) minimizing distance (distance-based MSE), ii) power (power-based iii) relative (relative distance-based MSE). goal to assess impact of chosen criterion estimate accuracy.

Many distribution algorithms have been proposed up to now for P2P real time streaming. However, due the lack of basic theoretical results and bounds, common sense intuitions heuristics driven their design so far. The consequence is that we can find in literature a large variety different choices about main aspects system, such as overlay topology, scheduling process upload strategy. In this situation, it difficult establish unambiguously absolute goodness particular algorithm or even...
