OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of interferon (IFN) alpha for the treatment
of Behçet’s disease (BD) and discuss its possible mechanisms of action. METHODS: Reports …

We take a new look at the issue of network capacity. It is shown that network coding is an
essential ingredient in achieving the capacity of a network. Building on recent work by Li et al.(…

The measurement of community disaster resilience through the development of a
comprehensive set of composite indicators is becoming increasingly commonplace. Despite this …

Objective. We investigated the effect of gender on the clinical Adamantiades–Behçet’s
disease (ABD) phenotype with data from the German ABD registry and a meta-analysis from a …

Bacillus subtilis is the best-characterized member of the Gram-positive bacteria. Its genome
of 4,214,810 base pairs comprises 4,100 protein-coding genes. Of these protein-coding …

We present a distributed random linear network coding approach for transmission and
compression of information in general multisource multicast networks. Network nodes …

The problem of error-control in random linear network coding is considered. A “noncoherent”
or “channel oblivious” model is assumed where neither transmitter nor receiver is assumed …

This book is a critical reappraisal of contemporary theories of urban planning and design
and of the role of the architect-planner in an urban context. The authors, rejecting the grand …

We present a novel randomized coding ap-proach for robust, distributed transmission and
compression of information in networks. We give a lower bound on the success probability of …

A number of important advances have been made in the area of joint equalization and
decoding of data transmitted over intersymbol interference (ISI) channels. Turbo equalization is …
