- The world's smallest book
- According to a short article in LabnewsOnline, Canadian physicists have created the world's smallest book. This book, which was 'printed' in the nano-imaging lab of Simon Fraser University SFU, measures only 0.07 mm by 0.10 mm, and is composed of 30 microtablets. This book, complete with an International Standard Book...

- Stability Analysis of RED Gateway With Multiple TCP Reno Connections
- It has been observed that a bottleneck Random Early Detection RED gateway becomes oscillatory when regulating a flow in multiple TCP connections. The stability boundary of the TCP-RED system depends on various network parameters, making the adjustment of the RED gateway a difficult task. Based on a fluid-flow model, the...

- QoS-Aware Streaming in Overlay Multicast Considering the Selfishness in Construction Action
- Most existing overlay multicast proposals have assumed that the nodes are cooperative and thus focus on the global topology optimization. However, a unique and important characteristic of overlay nodes is that, as application-layer agents, they can be selfish with their own interests. To achieve better Quality-of-Service QoS or to minimize...

- An Overview and Comparison of Analytical TCP Models
- Modeling TCP performance is an important issue that attracted research attention over the past decade. This paper presents an overview of models used to capture the TCP behavior. It compares several existing analytical models with respect to modeled attributes, modeling assumptions, and validation techniques. It also identifies features that new...

- Discontinuity-Induced Bifurcations in TCP/RED Communication Algorithms
- This paper describes a simple second-order discrete-time model for the Transmission Control Protocol TCP with Random Early Detection RED algorithm. The TCP/RED mechanism is viewed as a feedback control system where TCP adjusts its sending rate depending on packet loss. The paper investigates bifurcations and chaos in a TCP/RED system...

- Study: Cell phones distract drivers more than passengers do
- According to a new study, it's more distracting to have Paris Hilton's Sidekick in the car than it is to have Paris herself. Sorry, Paris. Cell phones distract car drivers more than talkative passengers -- and hands-free devices don't make for safer driving, according...

- Supercomputers help design better golf balls
- Researchers are using supercomputers to create new balls that will improve the game of avid golfers by flying farther. They've used the supercomputers at Arizona State University to simulate the physics of golf balls and to model how air flows around a ball in flight and to study how this...

- Twitter: is there any point?
- The last few days have been an eye-opener for me, because I've discovered there may in fact be little point in having Twitter. I see Twitter as a pain in the arse, something you have to go out of your way for and tell the world something you really shouldn't...

- How our brain sees natural scenes
- Carnegie Mellon University CMU researchers have developed a new computational model explaining how the brain processes images to interpret natural scenes. According to ACM TechNews, the team 'used an algorithm to analyze the patterns that compose natural scenes and determine which patterns are most likely associated with each other.'...
