Optimal Pricing of Spectrum Resources in Wireless Opportunistic Access by Hanna Bogucka

“…The users equipment, or the network nodes in general are able to sense the spectrum and adopt a subset of available resources (the spectrum and the power) individually and independently in a distributed manner, that is, based on their local channel quality information and not knowing the Channel State Information (CSI) of the other nodes' links in the considered network area. …”

Immunomodulatory effects of inosine pranobex on cytokine production by human lymphocytes by Lasek Witold, Janyst Michał, Wolny Rafał, Zapała Łukasz, Bocian Katarzyna, Drela Nadzieja

“…Surprisingly, production of IL-10 by PHA-stimulated lymphocytes was suppressed by Inos in a dose-dependent manner in both 24-hour and 72-hour cultures. These results shed some light on immunomodulatory properties of Inos and suggest applicability of this agent in patients with a depressed function of the immune system.…”

N-Acetyl cysteine exhibits antimicrobial and anti-virulence activity against Salmonella enterica. by Selwan Hamed, Mohamed Emara, Payman Tohidifar, Christopher V Rao

“…In addition, NAC inhibits the expression of virulence genes at sub-inhibitory concentrations in a dose-dependent manner. The whole-genome sequencing revealed that continuous exposure of S. enterica to NAC leads to the development of resistance; these resistant strains are attenuated for virulence. …”

Conjunct model of cloud ＆ client computing based on multi-agent by XU Xiao-long, CHENG Chun-ling, XIONG Jing-yi

“…In order to utilize the resources of all nodes in networks fully,a novel conjunct model of cloud ＆ client computing based on multi-agent was proposed,dividing the computing environment into three layers in accordance with the type of node and adopting agent to represent the behavior and resource of node to realize more efficient resource sharing and collaboration.The model takes full account of available resources owned by terminal nodes and deploys tasks in an orderly manner to the core nodes,servers and terminal nodes in order to maximize the efficiency of the resource utilization.To assure that tasks could be completed efficiently and reliably,a multi-agent-based collaborative multi-ring management mechanism was also presented,which is particularly suitable for the cloud ＆ client conjunct computing environment and propitious to enhance the stability of resources sharing and nodes cooperation and relieve the load of core nodes.Finally,the construction method of experimental system and application demonstration based on the model was provided for reference.…”
