Pointwise matching (PM) and integral projection (IP) methods are two widely used techniques to extend the classical weak formulations to include non-conforming grids. We present spectral element formulations on polynomial (p-type) and geometric (h-type) non-conforming grids using both the PM (also known as the Constrained Approximation) and IP (also known as the Mortar Element) methods. We syst...

In recent years, open innovation and intellectual property rights have become critical factors to gain superior sustainable performance. However, existing literature pays little attention different strategies their interplay with IP management approaches in improving Drawing on the contractual/non-contractual view, this study explores how external partnering sourcing affect performance, moderat...

This Paper seeks to review the articles published in Journal of Intellectual Property Rights (JIPR) first half second decade twenty-first century from Volume 15 (1) (2010) 19 (6) (2014). is fourth paper on theme ‘JIPR IPR Research’ and proceeds with same method reasoning as adopted developed previous three papers theme. In this decade, two Special Issues themes ‘IPR Agriculture’ ‘Leveraging IP ...

Intellectual Property (IP) core used in computing system-on-chip provides a unique blend of yielding enhanced design productivity with reduced design cycle time. However, leveraging benefits of IP core require protection against threats from both seller’s and buyer’s perspective. This paper proposes a novel symmetrical IP core protectionmethodology that embeds a buyer fingerprint and seller wat...

This article discusses the architecture, control protocols, and coordination mechanisms used in today’s multimedia Ž . Ž . conferencing standards for ISDN Integrated Services Data Network and IP Internet Protocol networks. Specifically, the Ž . ITU-T’s International Telecommunication Union – Telecommunication Standardization Sector H.320 and H.323 multimedia conferencing standards are discussed...

This contribution deals with actual routes followed by packets in the Internet at the IP level. We first propose a set of statistical properties to analyse such routes. We then use the results to suggest and evaluate methods for generating artificial routes suitable for simulation purposes. The proposed approach also leads to insight on various network models. The present work is based on large...

The quality of audio in IP telephony is significantly influenced by various factors, including type of encoder, delay, delay variation, rate and distribution of packet loss, and type of error concealment. Hence, the performance of IP telephony systems is highly dependent on understanding the contribution of these factors to audio quality, and their impact on adaptive transport mechanisms such a...

The main advantage of multilayer automatically switched IP-over-MPLSover-optical networks is their ability and their flexibility to adapt to the variations of the offered traffic. Multilayer traffic engineering mechanisms exploit this characteristic and perform traditional rerouting enriched with online IP logical topology reconfiguration. These mechanisms aim at optimizing resource usage and m...

Rarefied gas flows through micro-channels are simulated using particle approaches, named as the information preservation (IP) method and the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. In simulating the low speed flows in long micro-channels the DSMC method encounters the problem of large sample size demand and the difficulty of regulating boundary conditions at the inlet and outlet. Some impo...

This document provides a methodology and framework for quantifying the performance impact of the monitoring of IP flows on a network device and the export of this information to a Collector. It identifies the rate at which the IP flows are created, expired, and successfully exported as a new performance metric in combination with traditional throughput. The metric is only applicable to the devi...
