Adaptive Burst Admission and Forwarding in OBS Networks

Sébastien Rumley, Christian Gaumier

This paper addresses the problem of controlling the performance of optical burst switching (OBS) networks in presence of non-stationary traffic demands. We propose a joint burst admission control and forwarding mechanism that operates in core nodes. This m ...

Flares from a candidate Galactic magnetar suggest a missing link to dim isolated neutron stars

Andrea Kraus

Magnetars(1) are young neutron stars with very strong magnetic fields of the order of 10(14)-10(15) G. They are detected in our Galaxy either as soft gamma-ray repeaters or anomalous X-ray pulsars. Soft gamma-ray repeaters are a rare type of gamma-ray tran ...

Short-term-plasticity orchestrates the response of pyramidal cells and interneurons to population bursts

Wulfram Gerstner, Henry Markram, Gilad Silberberg

The synaptic drive from neuronal populations varies considerably over short time scales. Such changes in the presynaptic rate trigger many temporal processes absent under steady-state conditions. This paper examines the differential impact of pyramidal cel ...

Physical investigation of cavitation vortex collapse

Philippe Couty

Among the different negative cavitation effects that are associated with the cavitation presence (efficiency drop, noise and vibrations etc.), cavitation erosion is still one of the main limiting features in the modern trend towards designing hydraulic mac ...

Spatiotemporal characterization of rhythmic activity in rat spinal cord slice cultures

Philippe Renaud, Marc Olivier Heuschkel

Rat spinal networks generate a spontaneous rhythmic output directed to motoneurons under conditions of increased excitation or of disinhibition. It is not known whether these differently induced rhythms are produced by a common rhythm generator. To investi ...

Evolution with redshift of the ICM abundances

We predict the behaviour of the abundances of ff- elements and iron in the intracluster medium (ICM) as a function of redshift in poor and rich clusters. In order to do that we calculate the detailed chemical evolution of elliptical galaxies by means of on ...

Synchrony generation in recurrent networks with frequency-dependent synapses

Henry Markram

Throughout the neocortex, groups of neurons have been found to fire synchronously on the time scale of several milliseconds. This near coincident firing of neurons could coordinate the multifaceted information of different features of a stimulus. The mecha ...

The Renegotiable Variable Bit Rate Service: Characterisation and prototyping

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

he traffic generated by multimedia applications presents a high degree of burstiness that can hardly be described by a static set of traffic parameters. We present a dynamic QoS negotiation scheme applied to a prototype application that provides temporized ...

A simple experimental equation for the bursting cycle

Paolo Perona

This Brief Communication presents a simple second-order differential equation extracted from experimental data, which can mimic the velocity fluctuations that are typical of bursting. The starting time series concerns the longitudinal component of turbulen ...
