or logical objects, such as processes and timers, exist in a communications network. However, they are generally dynamic objects, and not elements of system structure. In this chapter, we will focus on physical objects that represent system structure.

Fluorescent timers are useful tools for studying the spatial and temporal cellular or molecular events. Based on the trans-splicing mechanism in Caenorhabditis elegans, we constructed a "fluorescent timer" through bicistronic expression of two fluorescent proteins with different maturation times. When used in vivo, this "timer" changes its color over time and therefore can be used to monitor th...

To better support interactive applications, individual network operators are decreasing the timers that affect BGP convergence, leading to greater diversity in the timer settings across the Internet. While decreasing timers is intended to improve routing convergence, we show that, ironically, the resulting timer heterogeneity makes routing convergence substantially worse. We examine the widely-...

Portfolio managers claim to be able to generate abnormal returns through either superior asset selection or market timing. The Treynor and Mazuy (TM) model is the mostly used return-based approach to isolate market timing skills, but all existing corrections of the regression intercept can be manipulated by a manager who can trade derivatives. We revisit the TM model by applying the original op...

Self-powered timers provide a mechanism to achieve temporal synchronization between two passive devices (for e.g. radio-frequency tags, credit/access cards, thumb drives) without the need for any external powering or clocks. As a result the timers could be used to implement dynamic SecureID type authentication involving random keys and tokens that need to be periodically generated and synchroni...

A recent study has revealed new insight into how the annual clock may drive seasonal hormone rhythms in mammals; the data suggest that melatonin-receptor-containing cells in the pituitary gland may operate as key calendar cells, transmitting seasonal temporal information to the endocrine system.

The temporal evolution of mobile processes is governed by independently operating local clocks and their migration timeouts. We define a formalism modelling such distributed systems allowing (maximal) parallel execution at each location. Taking into account explicit timing constraints based on migration and interprocess communication, we introduce and study a number of timed behavioural equival...
