The “culinarian” is a casual term used synonymously to describe “chefs” and “cooks.” In this article, I suggest there more the label than its synonymity, advocating culinarian as serious pupil of culinary arts. present story entitled Pâte à Choux, Love Story portray five exclusive characteristics culinarian, theorizing thinker, aesthetic operative, ethical being, creative liver, expresser. Exis...

Standard methods for assessing the thermal stability of viruses can be time consuming and rather qualitative yet such data is a necessary requisite for vaccine formulation. In this study a novel plate-based thermal scanning assay for virus particle stability has been developed (PaSTRy: Particle Stability Thermal Release Assay). Two environment-sensitive fluorescent dyes, with non-overlapping em...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks can offer benefits to distributed content-based publish/subscribe data dissemination systems. In particular, since a P2P network’s aggregate resources grows as the number of participants increases, scalability can be achieved without managing or deploying additional infrastructure. This paper proposes an algorithm for supporting contentbased publish/subscribe in whic...

This paper makes a step in identifying the state of the art in semantic P2P systems. On one hand, lot of research in the P2P systems community has focused on fault-tolerance and scalability, resulting in numberous algorithms, systems such as Chord, Pastry and P-Grid. These systems, however, have no notion of semantics and consequently, have difficulty in knowledge sharing. On the other hand, re...

Multimedia Content distribution is playing an increasingly prominent role in the Internet today, with a proliferation of diverse services and delivery mechanisms. Due to this increasing heterogeneity the management of next generation content networks is becoming increasingly complex. This paper presents Juno, a configurable component-based middleware designed to address the divergent nature of ...

Scalable overlay networks such as Chord, CAN, Pastry, and Tapestry have recently emerged as flexible infrastructure for building large peer-to-peer systems. In practice, such systems have two disadvantages: They provide no control over where data is stored and no guarantee that routing paths remain within an administrative domain whenever possible. SkipNet is a scalable overlay network that pro...

P2P-based applications like file-sharing or distributed storage benefit from the scalability and performance of completely decentralized P2P infrastructures. However, existing P2P infrastructures like Chord or Pastry are vulnerable against selfish and malicious behavior and provide currently little support for commercial applications. There is a need for reliable mechanisms that enable the comm...
