Enhanced multi-layer protection in multi-service GMPLS networks

This paper focuses on QoS routing with protection in an MPLS network over an optical layer. In this multi-layer scenario each layer deploys its own fault management methods. A partially protected optical layer is proposed and the rest of the network is protected at the MPLS layer. New protection schemes that avoid protection duplications are proposed. Moreover, this paper also introduces a new traffic classification based on the level of reliability. The failure impact is evaluated in terms of recovery time depending on the traffic class. The proposed schemes also include a novel variation of minimum interference routing and shared segment backup computation. A complete set of experiments proves that the proposed schemes are more efficient as compared to the previous ones, in terms of resources used to protect the network, failure impact and the request rejection ratio

Lightweight monitoring of label switched paths for bandwidth management

The purpose of resource management is the efficient and effective use of network resources, for instance bandwidth. In this article, a connection oriented network scenario is considered, where a certain amount of bandwidth is reserved for each label switch path (LSP), which is a logical path, in a MPLS or GMPLS environment. Assuming there is also some kind of admission control (explicit or implicit), these environments typically provide quality of service (QoS) guarantees. It could happen that some LSPs become busy, thus rejecting connections, while other LSPs may be under-utilised. We propose a distributed lightweight monitoring technique, based on threshold values, the objective of which is to detect congestion when it occurs in an LSP and activate the corresponding alarm which will trigger a dynamic bandwidth reallocation mechanism

Improvement in secondary hyperparathyroidism due to drug adherence monitoring in dialysis patients.

BACKGROUND: Poor medication adherence is a frequent cause of treatment failure but is difficult to diagnose. In this study we have evaluated the impact of measuring adherence to cinacalcet-HCl and phosphate binders in dialysis patients with uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS: 7 chronic dialysis patients with iPTH-levels >= 300 pg/ml despite treatment with >= 60 mg cinacalcet-HCl were included. Medication adherence was measured using the "Medication Events Monitoring System" during 3 months, followed by another 3-month period without monitoring. The adherence results were monthly discussed with the patients, as well as strategies to improve them. RESULTS: During monitoring, the percentage of prescribed doses taken was higher for cinacalcet-HCl (87.4%) and sevelamer (86.3%) than for calcium acetate (76.1%), as was the taking adherence (81.9% vs. 57.3% vs. 49.1%) but not the percentage of drug holidays (12.3% vs. 4.5% vs. 3.6%). Mean PO4 levels (from 2.24 +/- 0.6 mmol/l to 1.73 +/- 0.41 mmol/l; p = 0.14) and Ca++ x PO4 product (4.73 +/- 1.43 to 3.41 +/- 1.04 mmol2/l2; p = 0.12) improved and iPTH-level improved significantly from 916 +/- 618 pg/ml to 442 +/- 326 pg/ml (p = 0.04), without any change in medication. However, as drug monitoring was interrupted, all laboratory parameters worsened again. CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of drug adherence helped to document episodes of non-compliance and helped to avoid seemingly necessary dose increases.

Construction and Quantitative Evaluation of a Dual Specific Promoter System for Monitoring the Expression Status of Stra8 and c-kit Genes.

Applications of genetic constructs with multiple promoters, which are fused with reporter genes and simultaneous monitoring of various events in cells, have gained special attention in recent years. Lentiviral vectors, with their distinctive characteristics, have been considered to monitor the developmental changes of cells in vitro. In this study, we constructed a novel lentiviral vector (FUM-M), containing two germ cell-specific promoters (Stra8 and c-kit), fused with ZsGreen and DsRed2 reporter genes, and evaluated its efficiency in different cells following treatments with retinoic acid and DMSO. Several cell lines (P19, GC-1 spg and HEK293T) were transduced with this vector, and functional capabilities of the promoters were verified by flow cytometry and quantitative RT-PCR. Our results indicate that FUM-M shows dynamic behavior in the presence and absence of extrinsic factors. A correlation was also observed between the function of promoters, present in the lentiviral construct and the endogenous level of the Stra8 and c-kit mRNAs in the cells. In conclusion, we recommend this strategy, which needs further optimization of the constructs, as a beneficial and practical way to screen chemical inducers involved in cellular differentiation toward germ-like cells.

Field optimisation of MosquiTRAP sampling for monitoring Aedes aegypti Linnaeus (Diptera: Culicidae)

A sticky trap designed to capture gravid Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti mosquitoes, MosquiTRAP, has been evaluated for monitoring this species in Brazil. However, the effects of trap densities on the capture rate of Ae. aegypti females and the sensitivity of vector detection are still unknown. After a preliminary study has identified areas of high and low female mosquito abundance, a set of experiments was conducted in four neighbourhoods of Belo Horizonte (state of Minas Gerais, Brazil) using densities of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 traps per block. Trap sensitivity (positive MosquiTRAP index) increased significantly when 1-8 MosquiTRAPs were installed per block in both high and low abundance areas. A strong fit was obtained for the total number of mosquitoes captured with increasing trap densities through a non-linear function (Box-Lucas) (r² = 0,994), which likely exhibits saturation towards an equilibrium level. The capacity of the Mean Female Aedes Index to distinguish between areas of high and low Ae. aegypti abundance was also investigated; the achieved differentiation was shown to be dependent on the MosquiTRAP density.
