In Named Data Networking (NDN), packets carry data names instead of source and destination addresses. This paradigm shift leads to a new network forwarding plane: data consumers send Interest packets to request desired data, routers forward Interest packets and maintain the state of all pending Interests, which is then used to guide Data packets back to the consumers. Maintaining the pending In...

The Barát-Thomassen conjecture asserts that there is a function f such that for every fixed tree T with t edges, every graph which is f(t)edge-connected with its number of edges divisible by t has a partition of its edges into copies of T . This has been proved in the case of paths of length 2 by Thomassen [14], and recently shown to be true for all paths by Botler, Mota, Oshiro and Wakabayashi...

Sensory stimuli entering the nervous system follow particular paths of processing, typically separated (segregated) from the paths of other modal information. However, sensory perception, awareness and cognition emerge from the combination of information (integration). The corticocortical networks of cats and macaque monkeys display three prominent characteristics: (i) modular organisation (fac...

Little is understood about the process of alignment of information systems (IS). While the MIT90s model presents one view of how various firm elements are involved in alignment, other research presents alternative paths. These paths are based on research in large businesses and none of the models have been applied to small firms (SMEs). Using multiple case data, this paper investigates alignmen...

We make use of the existence of cell-disjoint paths in the 3D grid topology to design a new highly reliable adaptive geographic routing protocol called Grid-based Adaptive Routing Protocol (GARP) for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks. In GARP, the underwater environment is viewed as a virtual 3D grid of cells. A packet is forwarded following a pre-constructed routing path from a node in a gri...

The Stochastic Activity Network Laboratory for Cognitive Modeling (SANLab-CM) is a new tool that incorporates stochastic operations into activity network modeling (Schweickert, Fisher, & Proctor, 2003). In this article, we discuss the core functionality of SANLab-CM and walk through a case study that expands a previously published single, static path model of telephone operators interacting wit...

Networks of workstations are emerging as a costeffective alternative to parallel computers. The interconnection between workstations usually relies on switchbased networks with irregular topologies. This irregularity makes routing and deadlock avoidance quite complicated. Current proposals avoid deadlock by removing cyclic dependencies between channels and therefore, many messages are routed al...

We study a family of polynomials in two variables, identifying them as the moments of a two-parameter family of orthogonal polynomials. The coefficient array of these orthogonal polynomials is shown to be an ordinary Riordan array. We express the generating function of the sequence of polynomials under study as a continued fraction, and determine the corresponding Hankel transform. An alternati...

Pyrene functionalized triphenylamine-based dyes TP, TCP and TCCP were synthesized via alternate Heck and Wittig reactions. It was found that they could emit strong green light with high fluorescence yields because the formation of the excimer from a pyrene unit was suppressed completely. Moreover, the nondoped organic light-emitting diodes using TP, TCP and TCCP as the emitters as well as the h...

In this paper, we investigate rotating electro-osmotic (EO) flow over an infinite plate or in a channel formed by two parallel plates. The analysis is based on the Debye-Hückel approximation for charge distributions and the Navier-Stokes equation for a transport electrolyte in the rotating frame. It is shown that, for the single plate, the nondimensional speed of system rotation ω is the singly...
