LSP-Ping is a widely deployed Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) mechanism in MPLS networks. However, in the present form, this mechanism is inadequate to verify connectivity of a segment of a Multi-Segment Pseudowire (MS-PW) and/or bidirectional co-routed Label Switched Path (LSP) from any node on the path of the MS-PW and/or bidirectional co-routed LSP. This document defines a T...

This paper presents the Logic Scoring of Preference (LSP)-a general quantitative decision method for evaluation, comparison, and selection of complex hardware and software systems. The LSP method is a generalization and an extension of various scoring techniques. Its mathematical background is a continuous preference logic. An extensive software support for the LSP method is available. The meth...

We argue that the lightest supersymmetric particles (LSP) can be produced with extremely high energies E > ∼ 10 10 GeV in the Universe at the present epoch. Their most probable sources are decaying superheavy particles produced by topological defects or as relic Big Bang particle. We discuss the mechanisms of production of LSP at ultra-high energies (UHE) and the interaction of the UHE LSP with...

The disability profile of persons with schizophrenia in Singapore and how disability levels vary in patients cared for in the community and in the long-stay wards of a state mental hospital were studied using the Life Skills Profile (LSP). The inter-rater reliability of the LSP assessed by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), was lower than in the Australian studies. The test-retest IC...

Laser shock peening (LSP) is a transient process with laser pulse duration time on the order of 10 ns, real time in situ measurement of laser/material interaction is very challenging. LSP is usually performed in a massively parallel mode to induce uniform compressive residual stress across the entire surface of the workpiece. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of parallel m...
