In this work we study the interception of the requests performed by the mobile nodes in a wireless network. This interception can be achieved because a local cache is implemented in each wireless device. In that way, the nodes can serve the documents instead of forwarding the requests to the data servers. In our proposal, the interception is enhanced so it is also implemented when the mobile no...

In lateral interception tasks balls converging onto the same interception location via different trajectories give rise to systematic differences in the kinematics of hand movement. While it is generally accepted that this angle-of-approach effect reflects the prospective (on-line) control of movement, controversy exists with respect to the information used to guide the hand to the future inter...

An interception model is derived that links the temporal variability of rainfall with the stormbased description of the interception process. Analytical formulae are obtained for precipitation occurrence with idealized statistical characteristics. The analysis of the results indicates that point interception loss is controlled primarily by three time scales: the mean inter-storm arrival time a,...
