Abstract—In this paper, we address the issue on measuring the transport difficulty for content dissemination in online social networks (OSNs). We define a new metric, called transport load, to measure the load imposed by the OSN on the carrier communication network. It involves two key factors: data arrival process at users and transport distance of messages. Furthermore, we define the fundamen...

Preface This thesis is the result of a study, investigating the swash zone sediment transport processes. The first part of the thesis work has taken place on the University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia. The second part took place in Delft at WL Delft Hydraulics and was funded by the Delft Cluster Project Coasts (03.01.03). My special gratitude goes to Stefan Aarninkhof for his daily as...

Transaction security is commonly seen as one of the key factors influencing the success of Mobile Commerce. In this paper simulation-based performance measurements of the Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) protocol are presented. Its impact on an exemplary m-commerce transaction is discussed. Author

A number of applications have emerged over recent years that use datagram transport. These applications include real time video conferencing, Internet telephony, and online games such as Quake and StarCraft. These applications are all delay sensitive and use unreliable datagram transport. Applications that are based on reliable transport can be secured using TLS, but no compelling alternative e...

This document specifies the usage of Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) as a transport protocol for Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN). It provides guidance on when and how to use DTLS with the currently standardized STUN usages. It also specifies modifications to the STUN and Traversal Using Relay NAT (TURN) URIs and to the TURN resolution mechanism to facilitate the resolution o...

Experiments are performed to examine mixing and transport due to an intrusive gravity current in a twoand three-layer fluid. Successive passages of the intrusion act to increase the depth of the middle layer. The observed broadening rates and the deposition of potential energy are compared with theories that neglect mixing and entrainment processes. As the middle layer widens, a transition in t...

Considering real physical (MAC/PHY) traces inside network simulations is a complex task that might lead to complex yet approximated models. However, realistic cross-layer analysis with the upper layer and in particular the transport layer cannot be driven without considering the MAC/PHY level. In this paper, we propose to cope with this problem by introducing a software that translates real phy...

Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are currently receiving significant attention due to their promising opto-electronic properties. Tuning optical and electrical properties of mono and few-layer TMDs, such as tungsten diselenide (WSe2), by controlling the defects, is an intriguing opportunity to synthesize next generation two dimensional material opto-electronic devices. He...

The transport of three toxins moving from the blood stream into the ducts of the mammary glands is analyzed in this work. The model predictions are compared with experimental data from the literature. The utility of the model lies in its potential to improve our understanding of toxin transport as a pre-disposing factor to breast cancer. This work is based on a multi-layer transport model to an...
