Abstract: A homeopathic pain topical analgesic composition based on snake venom is disclosed. The study product also contained of Arnica montana, a homeopathic remedy most frequently used for fractures, bruises, and muscle strains due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. The composition also contained a penetrant component to enhance penetration of the ingredients as well as an analgesic/anti-inflammatory component. The snake venoms used may include those of Naja naja, Crotalus horridus and Lachesis muta. A clinical study of a product formulated in this way was effective in promoting relief from muscle pain and discomfort.

Abstract: A method for providing network access to a shared access communications medium for a plurality of users includes the steps of conducting predictive admission control by arbitrating user requests for access to the shared medium based on predicted aggregate demands, conducting lookahead scheduling for use in making user channel assignments by forecasting schedule transmission opportunities one or more channels of the shared medium, and balancing load by making channel assignments such that a plurality users are each assigned a respective channel of the shared medium based upon a predicted need. Congestion parameters can predicted for each channel of the shared medium and mapped to a congestion measure using a mathematical function that takes into account packet loss rate, packet delay, packet delay jitter, and available capacity.
