Design of adaptive connection admission control in hard real-time ATM networks
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
In hard real-time networking, end-to-end delay of data transmission must be strictly upper bounded. ATM networking has been increasingly used to transfer data in hard real-time environment. Data transfer in ATM network is ...
Testing hyperalgesia and hypoalgesia in human pain reactivity using shock and radiant heat
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Recent animal studies pose a serious challenge for raphics. current models of pain modulation. These studies have shown that exposure to the same aversive stimulus has opposite effects on different measures of pain reactivity, ...
