Microswimmers are small particles capable of converting available energy sources into propulsion owing to their compositional asymmetry, and promising for applications ranging from targeted delivery enhanced mixing at the microscale. However, current fabrication techniques demonstrate limited scalability and/or rely on excessive use expensive precursor materials. Here, a scalable Pickering-wax ...

Consistent hashing is a central building block in many networking applications, such as maintaining connection affinity of TCP flows. However, current consistent solutions do not ensure full consistency under arbitrary changes or scale poorly terms memory footprint, update time and key lookup complexity. We present AnchorHash, scalable fully-consistent algorithm. AnchorHash achieves high rate, ...

The demand for access to advanced, distributed media resources is nowadays omnipresent due to the availability of Internet connectivity almost anywhere and anytime, and of a variety of different devices. This calls for rethinking of the current Internet architecture by making the network aware of which content is actually transported. This paper introduces Scalable Video Coding (SVC) as a tool ...
