Under multi-homing an Internet Service Provider (ISP) connects to the Internet via multiplicity of network providers. This allows the provider to receive proper quality of service when one of the networks fails. An ISP that uses multihoming is subject to extra charges due to the use of multiple networks. Such extra costs can be very drastic under fixed cost pricing and non-meaningful under per-...

Background: Advocacy of orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) consumption as an essential crop in many developing countries to alleviate vitamin A deficiency due its beta carotene bio-fortification. It is crucial assess glycaemic index (GI) compared the indigenous (ISP) for therapeutic meal planning. 
 Objective: This study aimed determine and compare GI commonly consumed Ogun State, Nigeria....

ISP fixation has been shown to be a safe and efficacious alternative to traditional methods of posterior spinal fixation. A high degree of biomechanical stability and reliable fusion rates are achieved with preservation of adjacent level structures when using new iterations of rigid interspinous fixation. Since ISP devices do not violate adjacent facet joints, they potentially can decrease the ...

This paper considers the problem of minimizing the response time for a given database workload by a proper choice of indexes. This problem is NP-hard and known in the literature as the Index Selection Problem (ISP). We propose a genetic algorithm (GA) for solving the ISP. Computational results of the GA on standard ISP instances are compared to branchand-cut method and its initialisation heuris...

Understanding the distribution of congestion in the Internet is a long-standing problem. Using data from the SamKnows US broadband access network measurement study, commissioned by the FCC, we explore patterns of congestion distribution in DSL and cable Internet service provider (ISP) networks. Using correlation-based analysis we estimate prevalence of congestion in the periphery versus the cor...

Semantic inference is a key component for advanced natural language understanding. However, existing collections of automatically acquired inference rules have shown disappointing results when used in applications such as textual entailment and question answering. This paper presents ISP, a collection of methods for automatically learning admissible argument values to which an inference rule ca...

We are seeing the emergence of technologies severely challenging some assumptions that have driven the development of many Internet protocols and mechanisms. A first assumption is that (usually) one address is associated to each host. Also, the forwarding of packets is often exclusively based on the destination address. For this reason, there is usually a single path between one source (or clie...

The Milbeaut image signal processor (ISP) enables a digital camera system to be implemented on a chip. It can process signals from a variety of image sensors, perform enhanced-quality image processing, and store 20-megapixel-plus still images and full high-definition (Full HD) video. This paper introduces the MB91696AM ISP, the sixth generation of the Milbeaut series. It features high-speed con...
