In this paper, we investigate the problem of efficiently provisioning connections of different bandwidth granularities in a heterogeneous WDM mesh network through dynamic traffic-grooming schemes under traffic-engineering (TE) principles. Due to the huge amount of traffic a WDM backbone network can support and the large geographic area it can cover, constructing and upgrading such an optical WD...

We have assembled three-dimensional heterotypic networks of living cells in hydrogel without loss of viability using arrays of time-multiplexed, holographic optical traps. The hierarchical control of the cell positions is achieved with, to our knowledge, unprecedented submicron precision, resulting in arrays with an intercell separation <400 nm. In particular, we have assembled networks of Swis...

This paper gives a model for finding the reliability and cost of passive optical fiber networks (PONs). Mathematical modeling of various PONs has been done using to determine the cost and reliability for deployment at the access domain. It is observed that there is a trade-off between cost of protection and the reliability level that we attain from adding redundancy, as duplication in PON netwo...
