The DHT Mainline is a significant extension to the BitTorrent protocol. The DHT Mainline has several million users and is the largest DHT network. This thesis uses the DHT Mainline to generate a recommendation system for torrents. A program was written crawling the entirety of the torrent search engine kickass.to gathering metadata about torrents. The DHT Mainline was then crawled to search for...

in future high-speed self-routing photonic networks based on all-optical time division multiplexing (otdm) it is highly desirable to carry out packet switching, clock recovery and demultplexing in the optical domain in order to avoid the bottleneck due to the optoelectronics conversion. in this paper we propose a self-routing otdm node structure composed of an all-optical router and demultiplex...

First generation of overlay P2P networks had scalability problems although offering useful keyword-base searching functionality. The new generation of structured networks, based on Distributed Hash Tables (DHT), solved the scalability problem but at the same time eliminated the possibility of performing searches by proximity. This can be considered as an effective limitation as users of P2P net...

Recent research efforts have shown that the popular Bit-Torrent protocol does not provide fair resource reciprocation and allows free-riding. In this paper, we propose a novel foresighted resource reciprocation mechanism that replaces the peer selection mechanism with a reinforcement learning mechanism that adopts a foresighted resource reciprocation policy. We model the peer interactions in th...

-A systematic stratified sampling design was used to quantify the habitat relationships of the southern torrent salamander, Rhyacotriton variegatus, in northwestern California. We sampled 53 first to third order streams, each surrounded by at least 5-7 ha of relatively homogeneous forest or harvested forest habitat. Measurements of 121 attributes of the forest and stream environment were record...

This study has evaluated the runoff and erosion rates in torrents of Southern Italy, two forested headwaters with very similar climatic, hydrological geomorphological characteristics; one headwater, 15 check dams were installed mid-1950s, while other is not regulated engineering works. To this aim, variables have been modeled over years after dam installation using HEC-HMS (Hydrologic Engineeri...
