TL;DR: This work extends the concept of multi-wavelength reservation to Split Reservation Protocol (SRP) next and then to Markov-based Split Res reservation Protocol (MSRP) and finds that performance is improved considerably for them too.

TL;DR: The authors explored the concept of death and implications for nonprofit organizations in grief support and terminal illness, with an ethnographic study of one of the world's largest Nichiren Buddhist organizations, and showed that Buddhist concepts of death can play a compassionate role for nonprofits in countering the delusory fear and hopelessness of death for families and patients coping with bereavement and imminent death.
Abstract: The liminal state associated with terminal illness and death of a loved one is characterized by a marginalized experience, often accompanied by immense grief, confusion, isolation, and in cases identity crisis. There exists a range of issues that make marketing to these groups very different from marketing to non-sensitive segments. This paper adds to the literature on marketing to sensitive groups by exploring the concept of death and implications for nonprofit organizations in grief support and terminal illness, with an ethnographic study of one of the world's largest Nichiren Buddhist organizations. It shows that Buddhist concepts of death can play a compassionate role for nonprofit organizations in countering the delusory fear and hopelessness of death for families and patients coping with bereavement and imminent death.

TL;DR: A depth first branch and bound algorithm, guided by heuristics, is proposed, to help planners in tackling the problem of scheduling cascaded ‘blocked out’ continuous processing units separated by finite capacity storage tanks.
Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of scheduling cascaded ‘blocked out’ continuous processing units separated by finite capacity storage tanks The raw materials for the product lines arrive simultaneously on the input side of the first unit But every unit can process only one product line at a time, thus giving rise to the possibility of spillage of raw material due to limited storage capacity The need to process multiple product lines and the added constraint of multiple intermediate upliftment dates aggravate the problem This problem is quite common in petrochemical industry The paper provides a MINLP (Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming) formulation of the problem However, for any realistic scheduling horizon, the size of the problem is too large to be solved by standard packages We have proposed a depth first branch and bound algorithm, guided by heuristics, to help planners in tackling the problem The suggested algorithm could output near optimal solutions for scheduling horizons of 30 time periods when applied to real life situations involving 3 units and 3 product lines

TL;DR: This paper proposes a method for routing of nets in the 3D architecture with the presence of obstacles across the routing layers, and performs empirical study in terms of total interconnection lengths across the layers as well as the inter-layer cost involved in TSV.
Abstract: Progressive scaling of technology node has serious impacts on the performance of VLSI circuits. A major influencing factor is the dominance of interconnect delay, and its associated effects such as excessive power consumption, signal integrity issues, and so on. 3D architectures were proposed as an alternative to the classical 2D architectures with certain specific advantages such as reduced interconnect lengths, and hence the delay. However, negative issues like through-silicon vias (TSVs), excessive heating effects etc also come into play. Routing problem in 3D ICs becomes even more complicated in presence of obstacles across the routing layers. In this paper, in an attempt to gain a better insight of the use of interconnects in 3D architectures,we propose a method for routing of nets in the 3D architecture with the presence of obstacles across the routing layers, and perform empirical study in terms of total interconnection lengths across the layers as well as the inter-layer cost involved in TSV.

05 Jan 2004TL;DR: It is surmised that developing countries, despite the different specific circumstances, do share some common mechanics for Internet diffusion, and policy actions need to be designed to stimulate sectoral absorption of the technology in parallel with expansion of the physical network infrastructure.
Abstract: Many developing countries have recognized the need to enhance their Internet infrastructure to participate competitively in the global economy. However, these countries have distinctive socioeconomic characteristics that impact the assimilation of any new technology, including the Internet. Their interactions are complex, making it difficult to deduce the underlying mechanics informally. This, in turn, makes it hard to assess the impact of efforts to stimulate Internet diffusion. To get more formally grounded insights, this paper compares the mechanics of Internet diffusion in two developing countries - India and China - using the system dynamics methodology. The results show a basic similarity in the underlying mechanics, in that the behavior of major feedback loops is similar in the two cases. Specifically, infrastructure capacity shortage and absorption of the technology in different industry sectors drive two counteracting diffusion mechanisms in both countries. However, it also appears that policy actions can impact the timing and duration of dominant behavior. Based on this comparison, we surmise that developing countries, despite the different specific circumstances, do share some common mechanics for Internet diffusion. Moreover, policy actions need to be designed to stimulate sectoral absorption of the technology in parallel with expansion of the physical network infrastructure.
