Due to reported detrimental health effects of diets which are high in trans fatty acids (TFA) particularly on blood lipids, two main convenience products (chocolate and pastry) were investigated. In this regard, to determine fatty acids composition, with special emphasis on trans fat content from extracted neat fat of the products, gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopic technique wa...

Structured peer-to-peer overlay networks such as CAN, Chord, Pastry, and Tapestry can be used to implement Internet-scale application-level multicast. There are two general approaches to accomplishing this: tree building and flooding. This paper evaluates these two approaches using two different types of structured overlay: 1) overlays which use a form of generalized hypercube routing, e.g., Ch...

This paper presents the design and evaluation of Pastry, a scalable, distributed object location and routing scheme for wide-area peer-to-peer applications. Pastry performs application-level routing and object location in a potentially very large overlay network of nodes connected via the Internet. It can be used to support a wide range of peer-to-peer applications like global data storage, glo...

The Doctor and the Pastry Chef: Pleasure and Persuasion in Plato’s Gorgias Penultimate draft – final version in Ancient Philosophy, 27, 2007 Jessica Moss The Gorgias’ ostensible subject is rhetoric, which it defines as a “producer of persuasion.” But the dialogue is also centrally concerned with another kind of persuasion: Socrates’ attempts to persuade his interlocutors to pursue the life of j...

In the P2P network, how to quickly and accurately positioning of resources is a key measure of the performance. Nowadays, distributed P2P system generally adopts DHT search method, DHT-based P2P network search algorithm of P2P is a hot topic. The paper introduces the background and current research status of the DHT. Then focused on the Pastry algorithm, Finally Pastry algorithm was analyzed an...

Although peer-to-peer overlays have been elaborately studied, they still have redundant overheads. Pastry and Chord use leaf sets to connect those nodes contiguous in numerical space, but these pointers have no contribution to efficient routing. In this paper we argue that if the mapping between a message key and its root node is determined in a smart way, leaf sets can be removed, largely decr...

Group-communication applications are a very promising opportunity for developing valuable MANET-based applications. However, real-world experimental studies are required to indicate the best solutions to implement them. We have implemented a real prototype in which alternative networking stacks can be used to support a distributed Whiteboard application. By means of experimental results we show...

BACKGROUND This study sought to identify occupations with high incidence of multiple myeloma and to investigate possible excess risk associated with occupational exposure to chemicals and sensitizing agents in Sweden. METHODS A historical cohort of 2,992,166 workers was followed up (1971--1989) through record linkage with the National Cancer and Death Registries. For each job category, age an...
