We propose a new service discipline, called the RateControlledStatic-Priority (RCSP) queueing discipline, that can provide throughput, delay, delay jitter, and loss free guarantees in a connection-oriented packet-switching network. Previously proposed solutions are based on either a time-framing strategy, or a sorted priority queue mechanism. Time-framing schemes suffer from the dependencies th...

Economics, psychology, and neuroscience are converging today into a single, unified discipline with the ultimate aim of providing a single, general theory of human behavior. This is the emerging field of neuroeconomics in which consilience, the accordance of two or more inductions drawn from different groups of phenomena, seems to be operating. Economists and psychologists are providing rich co...

In recent years, social network sites exploded in popularity and become an important part of the online activities on the web. This success is related to the various services/functionalities provided by each site (ranging from media sharing, tagging, blogging, and mainly to online social networking) pushing users to subscribe to several sites and consequently to create several social networks f...

ln this article we describe mechanisms of radicalization relevant to understanding the origins or terrorism. We must immediately acknowledge that the idea of mechunistn IS somewhat different in different domains of social science, sometimes with conflict­ ing definitions used within a single discipline. 1,2 Here we use mechanism in the gen­ eral sense traditionally employed in Psychology: "the ...
