Introducing Resources Management in Ip-based Nodes

The Internet Protocol was designed to be used with packet-switched communication networks and, as originally designed, does not provide the characteristics necessary to support voice and video transmission. The lack of control over the amount of connections supported leads to highly variable delays for packets and often to packet loss. In this paper, an enhancement of an IP based node (called I...

Focus: Illuminating Science

up an entire field of interdisciplinary research! Although foundational research into nano-scaled semiconductors was already underway by 1973 when Leo Esaki won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on semiconductor quantum devices, quantum dots were not recognized for their biological applications until the pioneering papers of the Alivisatos lab and the Nie lab in 1998 [1]. In these papers,...
