Understanding the end-to-end packet delay dynamics of the Internet is of crucial importance since it directly affects the QoS (Quality of Services) of realtime services, and it enables us to design an efficient congestion control mechanism. In this thesis, we measure the round-trip time in the actual operating Internet, and build a mathematical model representing its dynamics using system ident...

The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) receptor interacting protein TRIP-1 was originally identified as a WD40 repeat-containing protein that has the ability to associate with the TGF-beta type II receptor and is phosphorylated by it (1). However, its function was not known. We now show that TRIP-1 expression represses the ability of TGF-beta to induce transcription from the plasminogen...

In the companion paper to this one (Part I), the Interactions between Soil, Biosphere, andAtmosphere–Total Runoff Integrating Pathways (ISBA-TRIP) continental hydrological system of the Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques is evaluated by using river discharge measurements and terrestrial water storage (TWS) variations derived from three independent datasets of the Gravity Recovery and...

Taxi trajectories reflect human mobility over a road network. Pick-up and drop-off locations in different time periods represent origins and destinations of trips, respectively, demonstrating the spatiotemporal characteristics of human behavior. Each trip can be viewed as a displacement in the random walk model, and the distribution of extracted trips shows a distance decay effect. To identify ...

The main idea of this paper is to represent shopping items through vectors because these vectors act as the base for building embeddings for customers and shopping carts. Also, these vectors are input to the mathematical models that act as either a recommendation engine or help in targeting potential customers. We have used exponential family embeddings as the tool to construct two basic vector...
