by their ability to adapt to failures and accommodate transient populations of nodes while maintaining acceptable connectivity and performance. Content distribution is an important peer-to-peer application on the Internet that has received considerable research attention. Content distribution applications

Abstract—Multilevel inverter technology has emerged re-cently as a very important alternative in the area of high-power medium-voltage energy control. This paper presents the most important topologies like diode-clamped inverter (neutral-point clamped), capacitor-clamped (flying capacitor

were noted to be at least partially aroused by the particular qualities that a destination offered. By contrast sociopsychological motives were found to be unrelated to destination attributes. Here the emphasis shifted from the destination itself to its function as a medium through which socio

In an era of CD-Rs and MP3 sound files, the vinyl phonograph record has attained iconic status as the quintessential old analog media form. An analysis of the theory and practice of “backmasking ” reveals how a discourse of the occult “re-newed” the old medium of recorded sound one hundred years

What is the role of attention in the dialectics of memory and communication? In how far is attention functioning as a medium? Which role does attention play in the information management practices? Attention is not only fundamental to human existence but also to the process of understanding

While the weblog medium has grown out of a few mod-est technological innovations, the social and behavioral aspects of this emerging practice represent a large shift towards a new form of interaction: a massively dis-tributed but completely connected conversation cover-ing every imaginable topic

key words: Chiral symmetry, Goldstone bosons, vector mesons, baryons, hot and dense hadronic matter, heavy-ion collisions This review is devoted to the discussion of hadron properties in the nuclear medium and its relation to the partial restoration of chiral symmetry. Special attention is given

years. In 1960 the median power (i.e., the probability that a significant result will be obtained if there is a true effect) was.46 for a medium size effect, whereas in 1984 it was only.37. The decline of power is a result of alpha-adjusted procedures. Low power seems to go unnoticed: only 2 out of 64

This paper reports an investigation of the practice of web information architecture (IA) in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). As information delivery via the web becomes a mainstream activity in all organisations, research and practical attention to Web IA remains focused on larger organisations

In this paper we study intermittency for the parabolic Anderson equation ∂u/∂t = κ∆u + ξu, where u: Z d × [0, ∞) → R, κ is the diffusion constant, ∆ is the discrete Laplacian, and ξ: Z d × [0, ∞) → R is a space-time random medium. We focus on the case where ξ is γ times the random medium
