An overview of the Hadoop/MapReduce/HBase framework and its current applications in bioinformatics.
TL;DR: Hadoop and the MapReduce programming paradigm already have a substantial base in the bioinformatics community, especially in the field of next-generation sequencing analysis, and such use is increasing, due to the cost-effectiveness of Hadoop-based analysis on commodity Linux clusters, and in the cloud via data upload to cloud vendors who have implemented Hadooper/HBase.

Chemical amplification resists for microlithography
TL;DR: This chapter describes polymers employed in formulation of chemically amplified resists for microlithography, which have become the workhorse in device manufacturing for the last few years and are continuing to be imaging materials of choice for a few more generations.

Technology, entrepreneurship and path dependence: industrial clustering in Silicon Valley and Route 128
Martin Kenney,U von Burg +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the technological trajectories of the industries underlying the two regions were different and this led to their differential destinies, and analytical separation is made between the economy of the existing firms and a separate economy of institutions that evolved to nurture new firm formation.

Mapping the Gnutella Network: Macroscopic Properties of Large-Scale Peer-to-Peer Systems
Matei Ripeanu,Ian Foster +1 more
TL;DR: The Gnutella virtual network topology does not match well the underlying Internet topology, hence leading to ineffective use of the physical networking infrastructure and the aggregated volume of generated traffic is estimated.

The Economic Geography of the Internet’s Infrastructure
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the infrastructure that comprises the network of networks and the spatial patterns that make it possible for the Internet to evolve and adapt to the emerging twenty-first century.
