A Global Fix

FIX - W FIX - E National Backbone Networks

This paper presents the results of a measurement study of the T1 NSFNET backbone. We rst discuss the measurement environment and approach to data collection. We then present measurements results for: long-term growth in traac volume, including attribu-tion to domains and protocols; trend in average packet size on the network, both over long and medium term intervals; most popular sources, desti...

Stretching tacit knowledge beyond a local fix? Global spaces of learning in advertising professional service firms

The ‘knowledge economy’ is now widely debated and economic geographers have highlighted the ‘new regions’ ability to produce and disseminate tacit knowledge. However, there is concern that such work is responsible for the unfounded association of tacit knowledge with solely the local scale. Through examination of empirical material exploring the stretching of learning in advertising professiona...

Material witness: A quick fix.

M AERIA L W TN SS Delicately patterned microand nanostructures can be produced without the need for laborious fabrication, by relying on physical forces to organize materials spontaneously into intricate forms. The capacity of soft materials such as surfactants and block copolymers to self-organize into regular patterns has been long recognized1–3, and superlattices and other ordered arrays in ...

To Fix or Not to Fix? That is the Question.

Eventually, the algorithm for when to intervene on the tricuspid valve during left sided valve surgery will be more robust. Better discriminatory preoperative data will be required to sort the role of annular size, right ventricular function, and pulmonary artery pressures. As for now, there is a paucity of evidence that an aggressive approach to fixing moderate functional TR during left sided ...
