Virtual-circuit switching achieves high forwarding performance via the combination of a hardware frame forwarding path and link-layer connection state that is stored in each switch along a virtual circuit. A similar result can be achieved when forwarding datagrams across an internetwork by uncoupling forwarding from hop-by-hop routing. That uncoupling is achieved by using a specialized network-...

Background A finite element (FE) model based on a 2012 Toyota Camry passenger sedan was developed through the process of reverse engineering by the Center for Collison Safety and Analysis (CCSA) researchers under a contract with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The model can be downloaded from the library of FE vehicle models developed to support crash simulation efforts [1]. The mode...

Multihomed environments are getting increasingly common, especially for mobile users. mHIP was designed to provide secure multipath data transmission for the multihomed hosts and boost throughput of a single TCP connection by effectively distributing data over multiple available paths. In this paper we develop a TCP-friendly congestion control scheme for mHIP secure multipath scheduling solutio...

Theoretical and empirical research in technology acceptance, while acknowledging the importance of individual beliefs about the compatibility of a technology, has produced equivo 1 Debbie Compeau was the accepting senior editor for this paper. James Thong was the associate editor. Darren Meister served as a reviewer. Two other reviewers chose to remain anonymous. cal results. This study focuses...

According to ideomotor theory, action planning is based on anticipatory perceptual representations of action-effects. This aspect of action control has been investigated in studies using the response-effect compatibility (REC) paradigm, in which responses have been shown to be facilitated if ensuing perceptual effects share codes with the response based on dimensional overlap (i.e., REC). Addit...

Recent evidence shows tense-response compatibility effects only when the task relates to sentence tense (Ulrich & Maienborn, 2010). In two eye-tracking experiments, we investigated tense-response compatibility effects. In our first experiment (E1, where sentence tense was relevant to the task) we found compatibility effects at the beginning of the sentence (e.g., Yesterday versus Tomorrow), whi...

The human tendency to imitate gestures performed by conspecifics is automatic in nature. However, whether this automatic imitation can be considered as a true imitative phenomenon or only as a special instance of spatial compatibility is still being debated. New evidence suggests that automatic imitation, otherwise known as 'imitative compatibility', shall be considered as a phenomenon that ope...

We investigate the feasibility of aligning Chinese and English parse trees by examining cases of incompatibility between Chinese-English parallel parse trees. This work is done in the context of an annotation project wherewe construct a parallel treebank by doingword and phrase alignments simultaneously. We discuss the most common incompatibility patterns identified within VPs and NPs and show ...

short-term prediction of traffic flow is central to alleviating congestion and controlling the negative impacts of environmental pollution resulting from vehicle emissions on both inter- and intra-urban highways. the strong need to monitor and control congestion time and costs for metropolis in developing countries has therefore motivated the current study. this paper establishes the applicatio...
