TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method for seamless roaming on a client comprising the steps of installing a proxy on the client, wherein the proxy communicates with a content server via a network connection and intercepting data from at least one user application via the proxy before the data is transmitted across the network connection.

TL;DR: The authors used citations as a proxy for quality of material published, as revealed preference for the journals and found that citations reveal preferences for the top economics journals, much as dollars reveal preferences in product markets.
Abstract: There are several measures which can be used to evaluate professional regard for economics journals. In this paper, I have focused on citations as a proxy for quality of material published, as revealed preference for the journals. The availability of the Social Sciences Citation Index has permitted construction of a relative rating system for economics journals, based on citations, which was virtually impossible for previous researchers to achieve. While the potential objections to using citations as a proxy have been admitted, the proxy is still a useful one — one that reveals preferences for the top economics journals, much as dollars reveal preferences in product markets.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a machine-readable medium and a method for remote communication with a transparent proxy module that intercepts a first stream destined to a remote destination and makes a first determination whether to accelerate communication associated with the first stream.
Abstract: A communication apparatus for remote communication may include a local transparent proxy module configured to intercept a first stream destined to a remote destination and configured to make a first determination whether to accelerate communication associated with the first stream. The communication apparatus may include a local proxy module configured to receive the first stream based on the first determination and configured to make a second determination whether a connection to a remote proxy module is established. If the connection is established, then the local proxy module may receive one or more additional streams and may direct the one or more additional streams to the remote proxy module utilizing an accelerated mode. If the connection is not established, then the local transparent proxy module may direct the first stream to the remote destination utilizing a non-accelerated mode. A machine-readable medium and a method are also disclosed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Media Gateway proxy receives a message and parses the message, which contains an attribute, sub-command, and a destination address, and transmits the message to the destination Media Gateway.
Abstract: A Media Gateway proxy receives a message and parses the message. The message contains an attribute, sub-command, and a destination address. The proxy stores the message and the attributes. Each of the attributes corresponds to a selected one of a plurality of Media Gateways. Each of the gateways has an address. The proxy finds in the memory the address of the selected Media Gateway using the destination address and the attribute. The proxy then forms a message using said sub-command, said address, and said attribute and transmits the message to the destination Media Gateway.

TL;DR: Using data on the 78,439 adults interviewed in person or by proxy as part of the 1978 Health Interview Survey, the authors examine whether the use of proxy respondents alters the results of empirical assessments of the behavioral model of health services utilization or the policy implications that can be derived from it.
Abstract: It has traditionally been assumed that obtaining health and illness behavior data by proxy on household members who are not present during the actual interview presents no significant threats to the internal validity of subsequent analyses. Using data on the 78,439 adults interviewed in person or by proxy (about 37% of the total adult sample) as part of the 1978 Health Interview Survey, the authors examine whether the use of proxy respondents alters the results of empirical assessments of the behavioral model of health services utilization or the policy implications that can be derived from it. Two important findings emerge from these analyses. On the one hand, failing to consider explicitly the possibility of a proxy effect (i.e., including a proxy variable in the analyses) does not alter the effect parameters estimated for the behavioral model. On the other hand, failing to consider explicitly the effect of using proxies appears to underestimate slightly physician and hospital contact rates (by 4% and 2%, respectively), as well as the volume of physician utilization. The substantive and policy implications of these findings are discussed, as are two alternative explanations that suggest that proxy-respondents simply use fewer health services either because they are "too busy" or because they are in slightly better health.
