This paper addresses the problem of characterizing analytically the autocorrelation structure of TCP traffic. We show that, under simple models, a single TCP connection generates traffic with an exponentially decreasing autocorrelation function. However, several TCP connections sharing a given link can generate traffic with long term dependencies, under the condition that the distribution of th...

This paper applies a Game-based Learning Evaluation Model (GEM) to assess whether the early warning – early action serious game “Ready!” is an effective component to add to existing Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) training curricula, facilitated by NGO staff and applied at the community level. We developed a paper-based survey with 17 five-level Likert items and 15 open questions addressing the d...

1. (a) Let (X, ‖ · ‖) and (Y, ‖ · ‖) be normed spaces. Show that the following conditions on a family T ⊆ L(X, Y ) are logically equivalent: (1) {‖T ‖ : T ∈ T} is bounded in R; (2) {T : T ∈ T} is equicontinuous at some point of X ; (3) {T : T ∈ T} is equicontinuous at 0 ∈ X ; (4) {T : T ∈ T} is equicontinuous at every point of X . (This order may not be the most efficient one to prove round-rob...

NUMEROUS COMPOSERS HAVE EXPLORED THE MODES OF the acoustic scale (or ascending melodic minor), including Adams, BartOk, Debussy, de Falla, Faure, Glass, Janacek, Liszt, Prokofiev, Ravel, Reich, Rzewski, Scriabin, Stravinsky, Szymanowski, Shostakovich, and virtually every contemporary jazz musician. The scale is clearly one of the central collections of twentieth-century tonality—and possibly ev...

desmoplastic small round cell tumor (dscrt) is a rare variant of sarcoma with a highly aggressive behavior. it usually affects abdominal cavity and has a male predominance. its correct diagnosis and treatment is sophisticated and requires an experienced multidisciplinary team. hereby we present a 25 yrold man from kerman province in 2013 with abdominal mass and ascites who underwent sonograghy ...

round heart disease is a disease of unknown etiology in turkey. the objective of this study was to examinethe effect of different amounts of sodium chloride in inducing cardiomyopathy in turkey poults. there are some reports that hypoxia and furazolidone can induce cardiomyopathy in turkey. two hundred 2-day-old turkey poults were wing-banded and placed randomly into 6 groups and 24 replicates ...

this study evaluated the histopathologic changes in the round window niche. , and membrane in cases of chronic suppurative otitis media. the pathologic process was found in all subjects. fibrocystic or fibrous tissue was most commonly seen, while active granulation was less developed. the round window membrane was thicker and inflamed throughout its layers. inflammatory invasion of the inner ea...

desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a rare malignant tumor that occurs primarily in young males. here, a case of small round cell tumor in an adult male successfully treated with a curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy is presented. a 58-year-old man had an intrapelvic tumor. surgical resection was attempted, but the tumor was unresectable. needle biopsy was performed and the diagnosis was s...
