is the highest rate that both paths can support. However, in a multicast connection with hundreds or even thousands of destinations, there is likely to be at least one very congested path. Limiting the video rate according to the most congested path penalizes the quality of video offered across all the other paths, regardless of how much bandwidth is available on them. A more scalable solution ...

Social networks existing among employees, customers or other types of users of various IT systems have become one of the research areas of growing importance. Data about people and their interactions that exist in social media, provides information about many different types of relationships within one network. Analysing this data one can obtain knowledge not only about the structure and charac...

In this study, a limit equilibrium method has been developed that satisfies all conditions of equilibrium and assumes circular slip surfaces. All force and moment equilibrium equations are employed without using simplification assumptions. A non-linear optimization technique is used to solve the system of equations with the corresponding constraints. The proposed method is capable to determine ...

Predicting the fate and transport of redox-sensitive species in ground water systems requires an accurate characterization of the distribution and concentrations of all related (or interdependent) chemical constituents and the reaction rates at which these constituents interact. Ground and surface water sampling of chemical and physical properties in the streamaquifer system of Colorado’s Arkan...

[1] In this study, multiscale permeability upscaling is combined with a sensitivity study of model boundary condition to identify an optimal heterogeneity resolution in developing a reservoir model to represent a deep saline aquifer in CO2 storage simulation. A three‐ dimensional, fully heterogeneous reservoir model is built for a deep saline aquifer in western Wyoming, where each grid cell is ...
