TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is the most widely-used protocol on Internet. It divides one large data into small sized packets, called segments. Segmentation is useful for improving network performance. It has a major problem in that its congestion control algorithm does not allow flows to obtain full available bandwidth during fast long-distance links. One of the tools for evaluating TCP...

The size of a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network is an important parameter for performance tuning of P2P routing algorithms. This paper introduces and evaluates a new efficient method for participants in an unstructured P2P network to establish the size of the overall network. The presented method is highly efficient, propagating information about the current size of the network to all participants usi...

Paul [ PJ first proved a 2.Sn-Iower bound for the network complex ity of an explicit boole an function. We mo dify the defi n ition of Pa ul's func tion a little a nd prove a 3n-I ower bound for th e network complexity of that function.-1

Mitochondria must grow with the growing cell to ensure proper cellular physiology and inheritance upon division. We measured the physical size of mitochondrial networks in budding yeast and found that mitochondrial network size increased with increasing cell size and that this scaling relation occurred primarily in the bud. The mitochondria-to-cell size ratio continually decreased in aging moth...

Abstract. This paper investigates the functional invariance of neural network learning methods. By functional invariance we mean the property of producing functionally equivalent minima as the size of the network grows, when the smoothing parameters are fixed. We study three different principles on which functional invariance can be based, and try to delimit the conditions under which each of t...
