This report summarizes progress on Washington University’s Terabit Burst Switching Project, supported by DARPA and Rome Air Force Laboratory. This project seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of Burst Switching, a new data communication service which can more effectively exploit the large bandwidths becoming available in WDM transmission systems, than conventional communication technologies lik...

We analyze the flow of information in multiplex networks by means of the communicability function. First, we generalize this measure from its definition from simple graphs to multiplex networks. Then, we study its relevance for the analysis of real-world systems by studying a social multiplex where information flows using formal-informal channels and an air transportation system where the layer...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an important atmospheric air pollutant and a good knowledge of its global and regional distribution is of much interest, e.g., for air quality applications. SCIAMACHY on ENVISAT is currently the only satellite instrument that can measure the vertical column of CO with high sensitivity down to the Earth surface due to its nearinfrared channels and its nadir observation mo...

A model based on the elementary principles of hydrostatic and air pressures is proposed for classroom demonstration of some concepts related to membrane potential. The instrument comprises a system of U tubes, pressure gauges, stopcocks, and syringes. Intracellular and extracellular ionic concentrations are represented in the model by the pressure heads of fluid columns in the twin limbs of the...

A particular observation scheme based on the two-frequency correlation function approach for the measurement of time-varying spread channels having time-stationary Gaussian statistical properties is analyzed. It is shown that the scheme works well for underspread as well as overspread channels. The method also appears to be useful in cases where there is correlation between the signals arriving...

today, many companies have multiple channels, such as sales force, direct mail / catalog, internet and broadcast channels, telephone, etc. for providing goods and services to its customers. multiple distribution channels, despite having benefits, several challenges such as the incidence of conflict, allocation of product, free ride some members have being emerged. the aim of this study was to i...

purpose: the aim and objective of this report is to identify the benefits of interactive communication channels and to advice the fmcg business on how these new methods are better than the conventional methods. design/ methodology/approach:  in this research article facts about advertisement and its effectiveness were collected from different surveys conducted by various agencies. mainly second...

A channel vocoder derives the short time magnitude spectrum of speech by passing the speech through a set of analyzing channels, each consisting of a band pass filter followed by an envelope detector and a low pass filter. Each channel produces a slowly varying output signal which represents a short term average of the speech energy in the corresponding frequency band. The measurement of the po...

We present a method for controllably producing longitudinal acoustic trapping sites insidemicrofluidic 5 channels. Air bubbles are injected into amicro-capillary to create bubble-bounded ‘micro-cavities’. A cavity mode is formed that shows controlled longitudinal acoustic trapping between the two air/water interfaces along with the levitation to the centre of the channel that one would ex10 pec...
