This work investigates the pros and cons of using the Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) for imaging and quantitative characterization of flow dynamics in a four-phase trickle-bed reactor. ECT use is increasing in non-invasive imaging thanks to its low cost and convenience compared to nuclear ionizing, non-ionizing and other tomography methods. Yet, ECT has low spatial resolution, lack of ...

Trickle is a polite gossip algorithm for managing communication traffic. It is of particular interest in low-power wireless networks for reducing the amount of control traffic, as in routing protocols (RPL), or reducing network congestion, as in multicast protocols (MPL). Trickle is used at the network or application level, and relies on up-to-date information on the activity of neighbors. This...

The importance of the "trickle-down" effect of economic growth is a key issue in policy debate regarding tax reform, government expenditures, and efficiency-equity tradeoffs. For this reason, a recent study by Thornton, Agnello, and Link (1978) examining the relationship between poverty and economic growth from 1947 to 1974 deserves careful review. The authors (hereafter TAL) show that the tric...

As the use of wireless sensor networks increases, the need for efficient and reliable broadcasting algorithms grows. Ideally, a broadcasting algorithm should have the ability to quickly disseminate data, while keeping the number of transmissions low. In this paper, we analyze the popular Trickle algorithm, which has been proposed as a suitable communication protocol for code maintenance and pro...

Much of the abusive supervision research has focused on the supervisor-subordinate dyad when examining the effects of abusive supervision on employee outcomes. Using data from a large multi-source field study, we extend this research by testing a trickle-down model of abusive supervision across three hierarchical levels (i.e., managers, supervisors, and employees). Drawing on social learning th...
