OEMs and operators of complex mission/safety critical systems are faced with the requirement to mitigate design and performance risks and their economic consequences. A key issue for any engineering organization is the integrity of the analysis that is used to support significant commercial decisions. Analysis outputs used to establish or validate performance criteria should have an appropriate...

Integrated curricula have been implemented in medical schools all over the world. However, among countries different relative numbers of schools with integrated curricula are found. This study aims to explore the possible correlation between the percentage of medical schools with integrated curricula in a country and that country's cultural characteristics. Curricula were defined as not integra...

Silicon-on-insulator microring resonators have proven to be an excellent platform for label-free nanophotonic biosensors. The high index contrast of silicon-on-insulator allows for fabrication of micrometer-size sensors. However, it also limits the quality of the resonances by introducing an intrinsic mode-splitting. Backscattering of optical power at small waveguide variations lifts the degene...

Abstract The Ciliwung River receives loads from various sources of pollution along the border, both agricultural waste, industrial and domestic waste. wastes that enter river cause a decrease in water quality. This study aims to determine quality status Jakarta segment based on Pollution Index (PI) Pesce-Wunderlin Water Quality (WQI). Monitoring was carried out February-September 2021 at 18 obs...

This paper addresses the impact of Quality of Service on resource requirements in networks that implement exclusive bandwidth allocation, such as IntServ. The paper proposes a framework for pricing flows based on the impact of their reservations on the resources for which the network must be provisioned. The developed framework is analytical and is based on the economies associated with aggrega...

This document contains a tutorial on the recent work in the area of offering services in the Internet. We cover the principles and some of the details of Integrated Services and Differentiated Services. We also explain the relationship to RSVP of each of these architectures. Finally, we draw some conclusions about the relationship of these architectures to SURFnet.

– There is an emergence of Internet applications that have real-time requirements. These applications require IP to support guaranteed capacity, higher priority and lower packet loss rate. To address this, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is developing a set of protocols and standards for Integrated Services on the Internet. Using RSVP and policies to manage the allocation of network ...
