Abstract: The end-to-end experience of a wireless customer depends on at least data throughput, data loss, and latency, as well as other characteristics. The user’s quality of experience (QoE) can be determined based on applications and measurements taken at the application layer of the user’s user equipment (UE) and information at the session level at the UE initiated and configured by an operator at the start of the session. The QoE is an application layer measurement configured by the operator and reported inside the application layer. When a UE is performing an inter-system handover, the QoE measurement configuration of the current session cannot be transferred from the source network to the target network.

Abstract: An antioxidant for use in treatment for a radiation-induced bystander effect to a transplanted cell in a host is provided. The antioxidant is N-acetyl-L-cysteine, sulforaphane or resveratrol, or a combination thereof. The RIBE on transplanted human hematopoietic cells impaired the long-term hematopoietic reconstitution of human HSCs as well as the colony-forming ability of HPCs, and the RIBE-affected human hematopoietic cells showed enhanced DNA damage responses, cell cycle arrest and p53-dependent apoptosis, mainly due to oxidative stress. Taken together, these findings suggest that RIBE impairs human HSCs by oxidative DNA damage. The present disclosure provides definitive evidence for RIBE in transplanted human HSCs and further justifies the necessity for conducting clinical trials to assess the ability of multiple antioxidants to improve the efficacy of HSC transplantation for patients with hematological or non-hematological disorders.
