Peer-to-peer (P2P) applications have become countless since they were initially proposed about ten years ago. They became popular among the general public when being used as a platform for file sharing. However, their robustness and scalability sparked interest from industry and research. Today these concepts drive some of the main businesses as back ends or migrate intensive workload away from...

Structured overlay networks form a major class of peer-to-peer systems, which are touted for their abilities to scale, tolerate failures, and self-manage. Any long lived Internet-scale distributed system is destined to face network partitions. Although the problem of network partitions and mergers is highly related to fault-tolerance and self-management in large-scale systems, it has hardly bee...

AIM To test a theory of visual stress by investigating the inter-relationships between (1) the threshold contrast/saturation at which individuals first report discomfort when viewing colored gratings of progressively increasing contrast and decreasing saturation; (2) the choice of a colored overlay for reading; (3) any increase in reading speed when the overlay is used. METHOD Ninety-five you...

ABSTRACT We present the results from studying 140 radio sources in GLEAM (GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA [Murchison Widefield Array]) 4-Jy (G4Jy) Sample. These were followed-up with MeerKAT to assess their morphology enable host-galaxy identification, as existing images of 25 45-arcsec resolution do not provide sufficient information. refer these MeerKAT-2019 subset. The aim is identify...

In vitro cultivation of Leishmania parasites plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment leishmaniasis vaccine drug development studies. There is no information about the effects urine within culture on infectivity parasites. In this study we used two media with different overlays to enhance growth rates donovani.
