In this paper, performance analysis of Shared and Switched Ethernet LANs under Different Scenarios through simulation has been attempted using OPNET as simulating tool. The first scenario was comes under Hub Only scenario. The environment of the network is in an office, which covers an area of 100m X 100m. The hub used is a 16 port hub in an Ethernet environment with the following configuration...

Resective neurosurgery carries the risk of postoperative cognitive deterioration. The concept of 'hub (over)load', caused by (over)use of the most important brain regions, has been theoretically postulated in relation to symptomatology and neurological disease course, but lacks experimental confirmation. We investigated functional hub load and postsurgical cognitive deterioration in patients un...

The design of hub-and-spoke transport networks is a strategic planning problem, as the choice of hub locations has to remain unchanged for long time periods. However, strikes, disasters or traffic breakdown can lead to the unavailability of a hub for a short period of time. Therefore it is important to consider such events already in the planning phase, so that a proper reaction is possible; on...

In this paper, a valuation method for multi-energy generation plants is presented. The operational flexibility of such plants is modeled using the Energy Hub concept a modeling approach that has been developed in the ”Vision of Future Energy Networks”project at ETH Zurich. The economic value of an Energy Hub including its flexibility is calculated by means of a Monte Carlo simulation method tha...

In functional genomics, the high-throughput methods such as microarrays 1) allow analysis of the relationships between genes considering them as elements of a network and 2) lead to biological interpretations thanks to Gene Ontology. But up to now it has not been possible to find relationships between the functions and the connectivity of the genes in coexpression networks. To achieve this aim,...

We examine two factors that might explain the extent of air traffic delays in the United States: network benefits due to hubbing and congestion externalities. Airline hubs enable passengers to cross-connect to many destinations, thus creating network benefits that increase in the number of markets served from the hub. Delays are the equilibrium outcome of a hub airline equating high marginal be...

We consider the problem of recovering the graph structure of a “hub-networked” Ising model given i.i.d. samples, under high-dimensional settings, where number of nodes p could be potentially larger than the number of samples n. By a “hub-networked” graph, we mean a graph with a few “hub nodes” with very large degrees. State of the art estimators for Ising models have a sample complexity that sc...

This study analyzed the fundamental geometric and kinematic characteristics of the swing hub path of the golf shot for four diverse subjects. In addition, the role of the hub path geometry in transferring the kinetic quantities from the golfer to the club were investigated. The hub path was found to have a complex geometry with significantly changing radii, and a constantly moving center-of-cur...

BACKGROUND Current WHO best infection control practices for injections do not address the use of hub cutters due to insufficient evidence on safety and efficacy. OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of the use of hub cutters on 1) the frequency of needle-stick injuries (NSIs) and other blood exposures among workers and 2) the volume of sharps waste in a mass vaccination campaign setting. METHODS ...

Hub ports play an important role in reducing the number of container routes and saving operating costs liner companies. However, hub failures caused by uncertainties such as natural disasters may cause huge recovery costs. Considering accidental failure probability reallocation feeder ports, a global reliable shipping location problem (RLSHLP) is studied. We use k-means algorithm to divide netw...
