This paper presents a novel transport protocol, CUSP, specifically designed with complex and dynamic network applications in mind. Peer-to-peer applications benefit in particular, as their requirements are met by neither UDP nor TCP. While other modern transports like SCTP or SST have also tried to combine the advantages of TCP and UDP, CUSP overcomes their technical and conceptual shortcomings...

Writing can be defined in a variety of ways. In this examination of learning to write, we view writing as a complex cognitive process and examine instruction that is designed to enable writers to communicate their ideas effectively and perform well in academic settings, on standardized assessments such as the Nation’s Report Card (Salahu-Din, Persky, & Miller, 2008), and in the modern workplace...

It is widely recognised that attaining best possible reception of one’s writing within the scientific community among main factors contribute to rhetorical profile prose. Authors not only have negotiate meaning but also persuade their peers (Allen, Qin & Lancaster, 1994; Atkinson 1996, 1999; Bazerman, 1988; Hyland, 1998, 2000). This perhaps most remarkable when position disadvantageous, as ...

Recent advance of the technologies incorporated in graphics hardware has enabled general-purpose computations on graphics hardware, which can further be used for high-performance computation in low cost. In addition, the graphical processing units (GPUs) on graphics hardware demonstrates a performance/cost ratio superior to central processing units (CPUs) with computations of high arithmetic in...
