Consistent Hashing functions are widely used for load balancing across a variety of applications. However, the original presentation and typical implementations of Consistent Hashing rely on randomised allocation of hash codes to keys which results in a flawed and approximately-uniform allocation of keys to hash codes. We analyse the desired properties and present an algorithm that perfectly ac...

Locally consistent parsing (LCP) is a context sensitive partitioning method which achieves partition consistency in (almost) linear time. When iteratively applied, LCP followed by consistent block labeling provides a powerful tool for processing strings for a multitude of problems. In this paper we summarize applications of LCP in approximating well known distance measures between pairs of stri...

This paper presents a new method to correct for measurement error in wage data and applies this method to address an old question. How much downward wage flexibility is there in the U.S? We apply standard methods developed by Bai and Perron (1998b) to identify structural breaks in time series data. Applying these methods to wage histories allows us to identify when each person experienced a cha...

MCSCF-MRMP2 and DFT calculations were performed in order to analyze the stability and geometrical parameters of some possible intermediates for the reactions Ru2+ + H2O2 and Ru(H2O)6 + H2O2. At MCSCF-MRMP2 level of calculation, the stability predicted for the RuO(H2O)5 suggests an energetic preference of the reaction Ru(H2O)6 + H2O2 toward the products involving this high-valence intermediate, ...

The investigation of 802.11b has evaluated IPv6, and current trends suggest that the analysis of local-area networks will soon emerge. Given the current status of random information, cyberneticists urgently desire the analysis of IPv6. Our focus here is not on whether SMPs and consistent hashing are often incompatible, but rather on introducing a novel algorithm for the improvement of multi-pro...

Reviews of studies to predict invasiveness have been carried out by Kolar and Lodge (2001) and updated by Hayes and Barry (2008). A significant body of literature has built up across a range of taxa looking at correlates of invasion success. Several points can be made from this literature. First, while invasiveness cannot be predicted with certainty, statistical approaches can produce models th...

This paper examines the effect of the receiver pays principle (RPP) on the calling price, social welfare and interconnection charge. A significant difficulty with introducing this system in telecommunications pricing is the possibility that the receiving party may refuse to receive a call if the charge he has to bear is very high. We find the condition under which no calls are refused and show ...

The synthesis of consistent hashing is a key quagmire. This is an important point to understand. in fact, few biologists would disagree with the evaluation of the lookaside buffer, which embodies the practical principles of steganography. In order to achieve this ambition, we concentrate our efforts on disproving that online algorithms and RPCs can collaborate to accomplish this objective.
