Do all firms benefit equally from downstream

Manufacturing companies are increasingly offering services related to the products they supply and building capabilities to better exploit the installed base. This move downstream requires new skills to understand and manage the demand-supply networks of industrial services. However

with respect to wired multicast schemes like DVMRP is the use of flags rather than upstream/downstream link state, making the protocol more robust to mobility. The dynamic reconfiguration capability makes this protocol particularly suitable for mobile networks. The performance of the proposed scheme

Many stream-based applications are naturally distributed. Applications are often embedded in an environment with numerous connected computing devices with heterogeneous capabilities. As data travels from its point of origin (e.g., sensors) downstream to applications, it passes through many

We demonstrate bidirectional wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) based on soliton pulse using two channels. The system uses 1550 nm and 1550.04 nm wavelength for each channel, which is capable of delivering 5-Gbps downstream data over 203 km and 2.5-Gbps upstream data

to proteins and DNA injury, inflammation, tissue damage and subsequent cellular apoptosis. Antioxidants are now being looked upon as persuasive therapeutic against solemn neuronal loss, as they have capability to combat by neutralizing free radicals. Diet is major source of antioxidants, as well as medicinal

by comparing upstream and downstream flexibility from a two-echelon multi-product scenario. The two echelons modeled here are the plant and the distribution center. Upstream flexibility in the supply chain is defined as the capability of the supply chain to fill distribution centers from plants. Thus if all

The development of systematic methods for the synthesis of downstream protein processing operations has seen growing interest in recent years, as purification is often the most complex and costly stage in biochemical production plants. The objective of the work presented here is to develop

Abstract—Thanks to its in-network drop-based adaptation capabilities, H.264 Scalable Video Coding is perceived as an effective approach for delivering video over networks charac-terized by sudden large bandwidth fluctuations, such as Wire-less LANs. Performance may be boosted by the adoption

and a slow receiver, respectively, due to substantial differences in their computational capabilities. With data transmission between these heterogeneous terminals a transmission time during downstream is slower than that during upstream by 20% at maximum. To mitigate this, we present two distinct
