A Measurement based architecture for Adaptive Network Environments

The Internet constitutes a heterogeneous mesh of networks with highly varying characteristics. One of the features of this environment is that there normally are a number of possible paths for data to travel between two end-hosts. These different paths exhibit highly different properties in terms of bandwidth, delay, reliability etc. One of the challenges in this environment is to map the properti

Implementation of the Biofuels Directive in the European Union

The implementation of the Biofuels Directive (2003/30/EC) in the 25 member states is assessed against the background of implementation theory in this paper. The aim is to identify and analyze implementation problems for the purpose of suggesting a way forward for biofuels policy in the European Union. Three main patterns of policy implementation are observed: effective implementation, formal compl

Lactoferrin Interactions with Periodontitis-associated Bacteria - Aspects of Adhesion-counteracting Mechanisms

Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia and Prevotella nigrescens are associated with periodontal diseases. Adhesion of these bacteria to host tissue surfaces is a prerequisite for their establishment. The surfaces in the oral cavity are bathed by secretions which emanate from salivary glands and from gingival crevicular area. Lactoferrin is one of the antimicrobial glycoprotei
