A Protocol Simulator for the Thunder and Lightning ATM Network
Software simulators have often been used to test and validate new protocols, but the high bandwidth of newly emerging ATM networks implies prohibitive memory requirements. This paper describes several simulation techniques we have devised as part of the Thunder and Lightning project to build 40 and 100 gigabit per second ATM networks.
متن کاملRealigning Thunder and Lightning: Temporal Adaptation to Spatiotemporally Distant Events
The brain is able to realign asynchronous signals that approximately coincide in both space and time. Given that many experience-based links between visual and auditory stimuli are established in the absence of spatiotemporal proximity, we investigated whether or not temporal realignment arises in these conditions. Participants received a 3-min exposure to visual and auditory stimuli that were ...
متن کاملBrain development: Lightning is always seen, thunder always heard
Over a century ago, the psychologist William James proposed a thought experiment, and suggested the answer: if the eyes were forced to connect to the auditory centres of the brain, and the ears with the visual centres, we would “hear the lightning and see the thunder” [1]. James’ point was that the perceptual qualities of our sensations — what philosophers term qualia — have their origin in the...
متن کاملLightning and severe thunderstorms in event management.
There are a few national position stands/guidelines that address environmental conditions in athletics, yet they do not govern all outdoor sports. Extreme heat and cold, lightning, and severe wind can all be fatal, yet the majority of outdoor sports have no published guidelines addressing these conditions in relation to activity. Available research on extreme heat and cold conditions in athleti...
متن کاملEstimates of lightning ground flash density in Australia and its relationship to thunder-days
Lightning is a phenomenon that is highly variable in space and time. The derivation of reliable estimates of its activity, therefore, requires statistical averaging over a large area and a considerable number of years of observation. The lightning flash density, defined as the number of flashes of a specific type occurring on or over unit area in unit time, is widely used as a statistical descr...
