In this paper, the authors present a method of measuring the switching time of a dual redundant NIC. The accuracy of the authors’ method of measuring switching time can reach milliseconds. The authors’ method uses Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets to test, is easy to operate, has high precision, and can be applied to all types of dual redundant device switching time measurement. ...

We consider a large trader seeking to liquidate a portfolio using both a transparent trading venue and a dark pool. Our model captures the price impact of trading in transparent traditional venues as well as the execution uncertainty of trading in a dark pool. The unique optimal execution strategy uses both venues continuously. The order size in the dark pool can overor underrepresent the portf...

We present a system that enables secure user authentication by leveraging a portable USB-based trusted device. The heart of our system runs a protocol which guarantees trusted behavior at multiple layers; from the hardware device itself, to the software executing on the hardware, and finally to the application hosted in the remote server. This combination assures end-to-end trust and makes our ...

production, reproduction, management and economic parameters resulted from recordings of 5 flocks comprised of 720 heads of native goats during annual cycle of reproduction in transhumance, village and farming systems were employed to determine the performance of traits, cost-profit analysis as well as breeding objective. the overall mean for number of salable kid per goat in transhumance, vill...

We introduce the results of a non-parametric estimate of the wage-Phillips Curve into a simplified version of the model by Flaschel and Krolzig (2006). The resulting non-linearity in the wage inflation-employment relation translates into a non-linearity in the reduced form of the model, namely the wage-price spiral. A dynamical analysis is then provided, both in wage-led and profit-led effectiv...
