Reduction of a 4,5,6-triphospha[3]radialene gave the corresponding isolable dianionic species. Despite having two deltate dianion-like π-electrons delocalized over the central framework, its small NICS(0)(πzz) value (only -2.2 ppm) indicates only limited aromaticity.

RDMA has become one of the most prominent networking technologies in DCNs by providing high bandwidth and ultra-low latency, especially for data-intensive applications. An important challenge with is to exploit multi-path throughput reliability. Several studies have been proposed utilize networks, but they commonly require modification NICs, which makes it hard deploy them practice. In this pap...

KLAT2, Kentucky Linux Athlon Testbed 2, is a cluster of 64 (plus two ‘‘hot spare’’) 700MHz AMD Athlon PCs. The raw compute speed of the processors justifies calling the system a supercomputer, but these fast nodes must be mated with a high-performance network in order to achieve the balance needed to obtain speed-up on real applications. Usually, cluster networks are built by combining the fast...

A combined DFT, AIM and ELF study has been carried out on borazine and its heavier analogs containing both the pnictogens and chalcogens as the ring constituent. Compared to the pnictogen substituted rings, chalcogen substituted rings are found to be less aromatic. Except for a few systems, the computed aromatic stabilization energies (ASE) do not correlate with the NICS values. For these ring ...

The double-aromatic character of selected monocyclic carbon, boron, and borocarbon rings is demonstrated by refined nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) analyses involving the contributions of individual canonical MOs and their out-of-plane NICS tensor component (CMO-NICS(zz)). The double aromaticity considered results from two mutually orthogonal Hückel p AO frameworks in a single molecul...

This work introduces a new local aromaticity measure, defined as the mean of Bader's electron delocalization index (DI) of para-related carbon atoms in six-membered rings. This new electronic criterion of aromaticity is based on the fact that aromaticity is related to the cyclic delocalized distribution of pi-electrons. We have found that this DI and the harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity...

This paper describes a technique that identifies an ieee 802.11 frame’s source network interface card through passive radio-frequency analysis. Our approach, called paradis, leverages minute imperfections of transmitter hardware that are acquired at manufacture and are present even in otherwise identical nics. These imperfections are transmitterspecific and manifest themselves as artifacts of t...
