Stabilization of Pluronic P-105 Micelles with an Interpenetrating Network of N,N-Diethylacrylamide by Pruitt, John D.

“…The polymerizations resulted in an interpenetrating network of poly(NNDEA) and P-105 that stabilized the micelles at concentrations below the critical micellar concentration of free P-105. The NNDEA was cross-linked with N,N′-bis(acryoyl)cystamine (BAC), and the degree of micellar stability was determined using dynamic light scattering and the fluorescent probe diphenylhexatriene (DPH).The increased micellar stability was not permanent and disappeared over a time period of days to weeks.…”

A utility-based algorithm for joint uplink/downlink scheduling in wireless cellular networks by Saad, Walid

“…While most existing literature focuses on downlink-only or uplink-only scheduling algorithms, the proposed algorithm aims at ensuring a utility function that jointly captures the quality of service in terms of delay and channel quality on both links. By jointly considering the time varying channel conditions in both the uplink and the downlink directions, the proposed algorithm avoids wasting of resources and achieves notable performance gains in terms of increased number of active connections, lower packet drop rate, and increased network throughput. …”
