Simulating how the global Internet data network behaves is an immensely challenging undertaking because of the network's great heterogeneity and rapid change. The heterogeneity ranges from the individual links that carry the network's traffic, to the protocols that interoperate over

The Research Paper, and Why We Should Still Care -Brent 1 In this article, I revisit an orphaned child of writing studies-the -research paper.‖ Discussions of the research paper and how we might teach it remain spotty at best in the writing studies literature. There is still little agreement

, but the message seems to be clear; as Gneezy and Rustichini's (2000a) title suggests, "Pay enoughor don't pay at all." In one of their experiments, Gneezy and Rustichini (2000a) present field evidence that high school students who collected donations for a charity in a door-to-door fund

in my work and summarized here. This is how and why. Relationships of Production Although I suppose information networks will shape, eventually, other modes of production, for the time being we can only assess their effect in the capitalist mode of production. Networks change the two terms

for both analytical and simulative evaluations of the performance of caching systems. First, with the aid of YouTube traces collected inside operational residential networks, we identify the characteristics of real traffic that need to be considered or can be safely neglected in order to accurately predict

functions to explicitly set seeds. Unfortunately, this corrupts the correct function of the new generator and can lead to correlated simulation results. This might affect the majority of ns-2 simulation results currently published. We show why this is the case, illustrate possible effects, and how to avoid

I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Torsten Braun, head of the Computer Network and Distributed Systems group (RVS), for supervising this work and for his insightful advises. Prof. Dr. Torsten Braun encouraged and motivated me to publish my research results and he provided me the opportunity to present

benefits. Our aim here is to discuss how and why belonging to a cultural organization influences political beliefs and conduct in this specific context. We build on recent work on class politics such as Evans (1999), Clark and Lipset If, in materialist class politics contexts, cultural membership seems
