Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to modeling radio wave propagation in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include, facilitating receiving a disabling request for a first time period and applicable to a first service element in a first service path of first service elements to provide a service. The method can further include identifying, by the configuration equipment, and scheduled change data, a second service element from a combined group of the first and second service elements of a second service path for the provision of the service. Further, based on a first determination that the second service element is to be disabled during the first time period, facilitating disabling the first service element during a second time period where the second service element is not disabled.

Abstract: The identification of a novel gene, termed I?BNS, regulated during negative selection of immature CD4+CD8+double positive (DP) thymocytes in mice, and the human homolog of the gene, are described, along with the gene products produced by these genes. Methods of using the disclosed genes and gene products are also described.
