This paper introduces optimal batch scheduling algorithms for the problem of scheduling batches of bursts in optical burst switching networks. The problem is modelled as a job scheduling problem with identical machines. ...

This paper presents a novel channel scheduling policy for optical burst switching networks called least reusable channel (LRC). LRC decides to which interval of the output channel (void) an incoming burst should be allocated ...

Leptin is an adipose-derived hormone that controls appetite and energy expenditure. Leptin receptors are expressed on extra-hypothalamic ventrobasal (VB) and reticular thalamic (RTN) nuclei from embryonic stages. Here, we ...
