We present an approach to the problem of load balancing on networks of nodes. Our approach is inspired by the phenomenon of negative chemotaxis in living systems. We use a diffusing signal (which is emitted by load, and moves faster than the load) to guide the movement of load towards the balanced state. Our reference system (for comparison) is unguided, diffusing load, moving at the same speed...

Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves can cause the scattering loss of relativistic electrons in radiation belt. They be classified into guided mode and unguided mode, according to wave's propagation behavior. The have been widely investigated belt, but observation not expected. Based on observations Van Allen Probes, we demonstrate for first time existence intense L-mode EMIC belt polariz...

This study compared the relative short- and longer-term efficacy of therapist-guided and unguided use of a cognitive behavioral self-help manual for binge eating [Fairburn, C. G. (1995). Overcome binge eating. New York: The Guilford Press.] Forty women (82.5% with binge eating disorder) were randomized to one of the two treatment levels. Results indicate that both conditions represent viable me...

Random walk and flooding are basic mechanisms for searching unstructured overlays. This paper shows that node coverage is an important metric for query performance in random graph based P2P networks. We then present two analytical models: the algebraic model and the combinatorial model. These models are useful in setting query parameters and evaluating search efficiency. We evaluate these two m...

A gentleman suffering from right leg penetrating injury presented to a local accident and emergency department. The physical examination did not suggest an embedded foreign body, and he was discharged after local wound dressing. Because of persisting symptoms, he attended another hospital later where an unguided surgical exploration was performed but no foreign body was identified. He was then ...

The radiation produced when a relativistically moving plasma/gas boundary ~i.e., an ionization front! passes between alternatively biased capacitor electrodes is studied. Results of an experiment based on a design which incorporates the capacitor electrodes into an X band waveguide are presented. The waveguided design effectively couples nearly three orders of magnitude more power into the outp...
