Today, due to the fast development of Internet Protocol TV (IPTV), which is the combination of IP technology and two-way broadband networks, the telecom industry is undergoing fundamental changes. Network operators and service providers around the world are making significant investments in order to deliver digital video content to their subscribers. Video puts very high demands on the network and
The influence of instrumental parameters affecting the ionization in continuous full filling capillary electrochromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (CFF-CEC/ESI-MS) was investigated. The investigated parameters were the BGE and sheath liquid ion strength and organic modifier content, the nebulizer gas pressure, and the concentration of nanoparticles in the BGE. It was found that
Objective: To explore the role of MTNR1B rs10830963 and G6PC2 rs560887 variants in the pathogenesis of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in obese adolescents. Methods: A total of 346 Caucasians, 218 African-Americans, and 217 Hispanics obese children and adolescents underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and 518 underwent the evaluation of insulin secretion by the oral minimal model (OMM). A
On the European aggregate level there is an inverted-U curve for long-term energy intensity. In the 19th century aggregate European energy intensity rose, followed by a declining trend during the 20th century. This article discusses the possible explanations for the declining trend during the 20th century and explores the role of energy quality as expressed in energy prices. For the first time a c
The role of quantitative risk analysis as a foundation for decision making, regarding hazardous activities and establishments, has gained increased importance during the last decades. When performing a quantitative risk analysis, a wide range of uncertainties will inevitably be introduced during the process. The impact of these uncertainties must somehow be addressed if the analysis is to serve as
The immune system is integral to cardiovascular health and disease. Targeting inflammation ameliorates adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Atherosclerosis, a major underlying cause of cardiovascular disease, is conceptualized as lipid-driven inflammation in which macrophages play a nonredundant role. However, evidence emerging so far from single-cell atlases suggests a dichotomy between lipid-associa
The art of living and the art of eating: Professor Linnaeus recommends. By Gunnar Broberg. As professor of medicine, Linnaeus taught dietetics. He followed the pattern outlined by Galen and Regimen salernitatis, adding an extensive material originating from general cultural history and his own experience.Early in his life he wrote Diaeta naturalis, a collection of rules focusing the blessings of n
Virtual reality carries great promise to facilitate the building process. Some examples are the communication between architects and building companies, sellers and buyers or the community planners and the general public. It is often thought that in order to utilize the possibilities of VR, for example in the above-mentioned contexts, it is necessary to use full-fledged versions of VR including fo
Purpose of this paper The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework for describing and analyzing misalignments in supply chain management, which relate to changes in supply chain structures, processes, and management components. Design/methodology/approach Based on the systems approach, a single-case study with embedded design including several embedded cases from the same supply chain was
