Building systems to recover fast may be more productive than aiming for systems that never fail. Because recovery is not immune to failure either, the authors advocate multiple lines of defense in managing failures ...
We present a quasi-waveguide angled facet electroabsorption modulator with a contrast ratio greater than 3 dB between 1496 nm and 1506 nm for 1 V drive as well as a misalignment tolerance of 30 mum. ...
Two distinct methods underlying the existence of power-law distribution were studied. The distribution ws stationary under the process of merging and splitting of classes and the distribution of the entities under study was invariant. An explanation for th ...
Identification of a Strain Energy Function (SEF) is used when describing the complex mechanical properties of soft biological tissues such as the arterial wall. Classic SEFs, such as the one proposed by Chuong and Fung (J. Biomech. Eng. 105(3) (1983) 268), ...
The study showed that the presence of an inverse square law relation for the distribution of the sizes of communities and species does not mark any significance organization within the system under consideration. It was shown that it rather was an inevitab ...
Crack patterns of 100-nm thick silicon oxide coatings on poly(ethylene terephthalate), polypropylene and polyamide films are analyzed under equibiaxial stress loading. The loading is achieved by means of a bulging cell mounted under an optical microscope w ...
Generalised Extreme Value models provide an interesting theoret- ical framework to develop closed-form random utility models. Unfor- tunately, few instances of this family are to be found as operational models in practice. The form of the model, based on a ...
Small angle neutron scattering experiments have been undertaken on the tempered martensitic steel EUROFER97 after proton irradiation at 250 and 350 degreesC and for doses of 0.3 and 1 dpa. It has been qualitatively shown that the scattering arises from dis ...
With the appearance of Peer-to-Peer information systems the interest in scalable and decentralized data access structures is attracting increasingly interest. We propose to that end P-Grid, a scalable data access structure resulting from the distribution o ...
Structured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are considered as the next generation application backbone on the Internet. An important problem of these systems is load balancing in the presence of non-uniform data distributions. In this paper we propose a complete ...
