Multipoint communications is the simultaneous transmission of data streams from a number of sources to a set of receivers in a group according to predetermined metrics. The core-based approach in multipoint communication enhances potential solutions in terms of QoS-efficiency and feasibility of the results in inter and intra-domain routing. In this paper, we first analyze the solution space for...

We have developed a multi-wavelength Fast Temperature Readout (FasTeR) spectrometer to capture a sample's transient temperature fluctuations, and reduce uncertainties in melting temperature determination. Without sacrificing accuracy, FasTeR features a fast readout rate (about 100 Hz), high sensitivity, large dynamic range, and a well-constrained focus. Complimenting a charge-coupled device spe...

For effective communication, interlocutors must be cognizant of lingua-cultural aspects in context-dependent situations. Among others, they include culturally and linguistically diverse university settings where students are tempted to complain about grades teachers request grade changes. To reduce the negative impact these speech acts, may resort compliments whose utilization varies from cultu...
