Fairness of competing transmission control protocol (TCP) flows is an integral and indispensable part of transport protocol design for next-generation, high-bandwidth-delay product networks. It is not just a protocol-intrinsic property but it could also have severe impact on quality of experience (QoE). In this paper, we revisit FAST TCP fairness behavior based on a comprehensive performance ev...

This report documents a Fortran computer code package that is used for the evaluation of gas-phase multicomponent viscosities, thermal conductivities, diiusion coeecients, and thermal diiusion coeecients. The package is in two parts. The rst is a preprocessor that computes polynomial ts to the temperature dependent parts of the pure species viscosities and binary diiusion coeecients. The coeeci...

We developed a numerical method for computing the effective properties of a microstructure. The method is particularly efficient and accurate for microstructures with a diffuse-interface description similar to those generated from phase-field simulations. In particular, we considered the diffusive transport property of a microstructure by solving the steady-state diffusion equation using a Four...

Recombinant DNA technology allows the manipulation of the physical properties of proteins that perform electron transport and photochemical processes. Recent work is reviewed that has a potential impact on the development of molecular electronic devices, within a general framework outlining strategies for device fabrication. This review is also published in Current Opinion in Structural Biology...

Full counting statistics of electron transport is of fundamental importance for a deeper understanding of the underlying physical processes in quantum transport in nanoscale devices. The backaction effect from a detector on the nanoscale devices is also essential due to its inevitable presence in experiments. Here we investigate the backaction of a charge detector in the form of a quantum point...

Biomolecular computing devices that are based on the properties of biomolecular activities offer a unique possibility for constructing new computing structures. A new concept of using various biomolecules has been proposed in order to develop a protein-based memory device that is capable of switching physical properties when electrical input signals are applied to perform memory switching. To c...

: We investigate theoretically the ground state and transport property of electrons in interacting quantum wires (QWs) oriented along different crystallographic directions in (001) and (110) planes in the presence of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI) and Dresselhaus SOI (DSOI). The electron ground state can cross over different phases, e.g., spin density wave, charge density wave, single...

In this work, the growth of InN on GaN substrates by molecular beam epitaxy and the structural and electrical characterization are presented. The quality of InN is found to be a sensitive function of the III/V flux ratio and the substrate temperature. The structural quality of InN is characterized by X-ray diffraction, and the transport property is characterized by Hall effect measurements. An ...

The in-plane permeability is an important property of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) in a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell. It governs the transport of reactants and water vapor from the channel to the GDL regions under the land of the bipolar plate, and the bulk mass transport in the case of interdigitated flow fields. The current focus in literature has been on studying the effect of porosit...
