the source parameters and focal depth of the destructive mw 6.5, 31 march. 2006 iran- silakhor earthquake, the two largest foreshocks and a major aftershock are determined using broadband data from a seismic network in iran based on a time-domain linear moment tensor inversion. the earthquakes occurred in the zagros suture zone in western iran. waveform inversion of the selected events estimate...

Optical fiber communication is gaining popularity as broadband technology by providing high data rate, secure and reliable transmission. With the advent of HD videos and latency sensitive services, the demand for optical networks for the individual subscribers is increasing. For the purpose, FTTH is emerging as a viable solution. This paper focuses on various possibilities in optical networks, ...

We propose phase-like characteristics in scale-free broadband processes and consider fluctuation synchrony based on the temporal signature of significant amplitude fluctuation. Using wavelet transform, successful captures of similar fluctuation pattern between such broadband processes are demonstrated. The application to the financial data leading to the 2008 financial crisis reveals the transi...

Novel broadband Internet access technologies will transfer the network bottleneck from the access point (last mile) towards the multimedia servers and backbone networks. Special video applications with there compared to traditional IP services huge demand on bandwidth will stress the multimedia servers, and backbone networks. It is up to the Internet service providers (ISP) to provide new broad...

This work proposes the development and application of specific security metrics for metropolitan broadband access networks that aim to measure the efficiency of security programs and support action planning against detected problems. The approach presented in this work show metrics developed for these networks and parameters for metrics definition. This paper also presents results achieved from...

The future ‘broadband platform’ could be any device that is attached to the broadband-enabled home network. In this paper, we focus on the use of PCs and games consoles to provide a shared experience of streamed 3D interactive mixed media. We describe two demonstration applications which are being developed to provide a better understanding of what can be achieved with streamed 3D interactive m...

Canada may be about to create a publicly-funded Centre for Advancing Democracy. However, at the present time there is international speculation that autocracy promotion is increasing, now that the global wave of democratisation has stalled or gone into retreat. Some prominent authoritarian and semi-authoritarian regimes have gained in confidence; their potential to influence politics in other c...

We present the first large-scale analysis of Web performance bottlenecks as measured from broadband access networks, using data collected from two extensive home router deployments. We design and implement tools and methods to identify the contribution of critical factors such as DNS lookups and TCP connection establishment to Web page load times and characterize how they contribute to page loa...
