Maximal ℓ p ‐regularity of multiterm fractional equations with delay

2020

[EN] We provide a characterization for the existence and uniqueness of solutions in the space of vector-valued sequences l(p) (Z, X)for the multiterm fractional delayed model in the form Delta(alpha)u(n) + lambda Delta(beta)u(n) = Lambda u(n) + u(n-tau) + f(n), n is an element of Z, alpha, beta is an element of R+, tau is an element of Z, lambda is an element of R, where X is a Banach space, A is a closed linear operator with domain D(A) defined on X, f is an element of l(p)(Z,X) and Delta(Gamma) denotes the Grunwald-Letkinov fractional derivative of order Gamma > 0. We also give some conditions to ensure the existence of solutions when adding nonlinearities. Finally, we illustrate our resu…

dSDiVN: A Distributed Software-Defined Networking Architecture for Infrastructure-Less Vehicular Networks

2017

In the last few years, the emerging network architecture paradigm of Software-Defined Networking (SDN), has become one of the most important technology to manage large scale networks such as Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). Recently, several works have shown interest in the use of SDN paradigm in VANETs. SDN brings flexibility, scalability and management facility to current VANETs. However, almost all of proposed Software-Defined VANET (SDVN) architectures are infrastructure-based. This paper will focus on how to enable SDN in infrastructure-less vehicular environments. For this aim, we propose a novel distributed SDN-based architecture for uncovered infrastructure-less vehicular scenari…

Delay-oriented data traffic migration in maritime mobile communication environments

2012

Maritime ship-to-shore communication has to satisfy different user requirements while suffering dynamic communication circumstances. Satellite networks are the primary means to communicate between ship and shore. The idea of compensating the deficiency of satellite communication with other terrestrial networks is not new. However, focus was often on how to keep users always best connected, without considering respective application needs or the potential disconnections. In this paper, we propose a delay-oriented satellite data traffic migration solution, exploiting the route repetitiveness and predictability of ships, leveraging the delay tolerance of many communication applications, with t…

Mobile Encounter Network - the missing data link

2008

In this paper, we discuss about the applicability of a short-range wireless communication scheme called Mobile Encounter Network (MEN). Encounters between devices communicating while moving allows ad-hoc -type data transfer to be performed. A background for the emerging of such networks is given. The essential properties of the MEN data transfer are specified. Based on this, the role of MEN as a data transfer medium is discussed. The conclusion is that such networking technique may provide additional value compared to the traditional wireless communication.

An Optimized Roadside Units (RSU) Placement for Delay-Sensitive Applications in Vehicular Networks

2015

International audience; Over the last few years, a lot of applications have been developed for Vehicular Ad Hoc NETworks (VANETs) to exchange information between vehicles. However, VANET is basically a Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) characterized by intermittent connectivity, long delays and message losses especially in low density regions [1]. Thus, VANET requires the use of an infrastructure such as Roadside Units (RSUs) that permits to enhance the network connectivity. Nevertheless, due to their deployment cost, RSUs need to be optimally deployed. Hence, the main objective of this work is to provide an optimized RSUs placement for delay-sensitive applications in vehicular networks that imp…

Geographical Routing for Delay Tolerant Encounter Networks

2007

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are intermittently connected networks, where direct end--to--end path between communicating nodes may never exist. To achieve eventual delivery some nodes must store messages and wait opportunity to forward them. In mobile environment, one of the most challenging problems for routing protocols is to decide, which nodes should store the message to achieve eventual delivery as quick as possible. Common approach is to propagate message into large group of nodes, hoping one of them will reach the destination. These solutions, however, are not very scalable as they generate plenty of extra load and traffic to network. Further more, message carriers have no means to…

HeterozygousFGF8mutations in patients presenting cryptorchidism and multiple VATER/VACTERL features without limb anomalies

2014

Background The acronym VATER/VACTERL association describes the combination of at least three of the following cardinal features: vertebral defects, anorectal malformations, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula with or without esophageal atresia, renal malformations, and limb defects. Although fibroblast growth factor-8 (FGF8) mutations have mainly found in patients with Kallmann syndrome, mice with a hypomorphic Fgf8 allele or complete gene invalidation display, aside from gonadotropin-releasing hormone deficiency, parts or even the entire spectrum of human VATER/VACTERL association. Methods We performed FGF8 gene analysis in 49 patients with VATER/VACTERL association and 27 patients …

Parenterale Ernährung in der Behandlung des Minderwuchses bei Adoleszenten mit Morbus Crohn

1992

Growth retardation and delayed puberty occur in 20-35% of children and adolescents with Crohn's disease. Alternate day corticosteroid treatment, use of azathioprine, enteral or parenteral hyperalimentation and surgery have been advocated to reverse growth failure. Because of nonacceptance of elemental diet 7 patients with Crohn's disease and growth retardation received parenteral nutrition for 2-3 months (maximal for more than 30 months in one patient). All of them exhibited a mean weight gain of 10 kg and a mean increase of their height velocity from 2.4 to 7.1 cm/year. Main problems were bacterial infections and dislocations of the central lines. Surgery was performed in 3 adolescents imm…

Hypogonadism in β-thalassemic adolescents: A characteristic pituitary-gonadal impairment. The ineffectiveness of long-term iron chelation therapy

1990

The pituitary-gonadal function was studied in 18 beta-thalassemic female adolescents, 8 with delayed puberty and 10 with primary amenorrhea,treated with repeated transfusions and long-term iron chelation therapy by subcutaneous infusion. A 100 micrograms gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) test, a double-bolus GnRH test after estradiol administration in non-responders, a 400 micrograms thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) test and a 'high dose' human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) test were performed. LH and FSH peak levels were significantly lower in thalassemic patients than in controls, both in the 100 micrograms GnRH test (LH was 4.3 +/- 0.7 mIU/ml vs 40.8 +/- 6.0 mIU/ml and FSH 3.3 +/-…
