TL;DR: This article provides a comprehensive survey of CAC schemes in modern wireless networks in terms of the signal quality, call blocking and dropping probabilities, packet delay and loss rate, and transmission rate.
Abstract: Radio resource management (RRM) plays a major role in Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning for wireless communication systems. The performance of RRM techniques has a direct impact on each user's individual performance and on the overall network performance. Arriving (new and handoff) calls are granted/denied access to the network by the call admission scheme (CAC) based on predefined criteria, taking the network loading conditions into consideration. CAC in wireless networks has been receiving a great deal of attention during the last two decades due to the growing popularity of wireless communications and the central role that CAC plays in QoS provisioning in terms of the signal quality, call blocking and dropping probabilities, packet delay and loss rate, and transmission rate. In the first and second generation of wireless systems, CAC has been developed for a single service environment. In the third generation and beyond wireless systems, multimedia services such as voice, video, data, and audio are to be offered with various QoS profiles. Hence, more sophisticated CAC schemes are developed to cope with these changes. This article provides a comprehensive survey of CAC schemes in modern wireless networks.

TL;DR: The estimated proportion of PSP reporting current symptom clusters consistent with 1 or more mental disorders appears higher than previously published estimates for the general population; however, direct comparisons are impossible because of methodological differences.
Abstract: Background:Canadian public safety personnel (PSP; e.g., correctional workers, dispatchers, firefighters, paramedics, police officers) are exposed to potentially traumatic events as a function of their work. Such exposures contribute to the risk of developing clinically significant symptoms related to mental disorders. The current study was designed to provide estimates of mental disorder symptom frequencies and severities for Canadian PSP.Methods:An online survey was made available in English or French from September 2016 to January 2017. The survey assessed current symptoms, and participation was solicited from national PSP agencies and advocacy groups. Estimates were derived using well-validated screening measures.Results:There were 5813 participants (32.5% women) who were grouped into 6 categories (i.e., call center operators/dispatchers, correctional workers, firefighters, municipal/provincial police, paramedics, Royal Canadian Mounted Police). Substantial proportions of participants reported current ...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry (MSn) to identify 50 phenolic compounds belonging to several classes, namely, phenolic acids and their derivatives, dehydrodiferulates and dehydrotriferulates, flavan-3-ol monomers and dimers, flavonols, flavones and flavanonols in four phenolics fractions of several whole millet grains (kodo, finger (Ravi), finger (local), foxtail, proso, little

TL;DR: Various techniques used to elicit and measure maximum (aerobic) metabolic rate in different fish species with contrasting lifestyles are outlined and the relevance of MMR to the ecology, fitness and climate change resilience of fishes is discussed.
Abstract: Maximum (aerobic) metabolic rate (MMR) is defined here as the maximum rate of oxygen consumption (M˙O2max ) that a fish can achieve at a given temperature under any ecologically relevant circumstance. Different techniques exist for eliciting MMR of fishes, of which swim-flume respirometry (critical swimming speed tests and burst-swimming protocols) and exhaustive chases are the most common. Available data suggest that the most suitable method for eliciting MMR varies with species and ecotype, and depends on the propensity of the fish to sustain swimming for extended durations as well as its capacity to simultaneously exercise and digest food. MMR varies substantially (>10 fold) between species with different lifestyles (i.e. interspecific variation), and to a lesser extent (
