An efficient distributed approach for dynamic multicast trees
2005
In this paper we present a distributed algorithm for constructing efficient multicast trees in large networks. The algorithm allows the set up of effective distribution trees using a coordination protocol among the network nodes. The algorithm has been implemented and extensively tested both in simulation, and on experimental networks. Performance evaluation indicates that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art distributed algorithms for multicast tree setup, providing good levels of convergence time and communication complexity. Furthermore, we introduce a distributed technique for dynamically updating the multicast tree. The approach monitors the accumulated damage as nodes join or…
A Constructive Arboricity Approximation Scheme
2020
The arboricity \(\varGamma \) of a graph is the minimum number of forests its edge set can be partitioned into. Previous approximation schemes were nonconstructive, i.e., they approximate the arboricity as a value without computing a corresponding forest partition. This is because they operate on pseudoforest partitions or the dual problem of finding dense subgraphs.
Domain Generation Algorithm Detection Using Machine Learning Methods
2018
A botnet is a network of private computers infected with malicious software and controlled as a group without the knowledge of the owners. Botnets are used by cybercriminals for various malicious activities, such as stealing sensitive data, sending spam, launching Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, etc. A Command and Control (C&C) server sends commands to the compromised hosts to execute those malicious activities. In order to avoid detection, recent botnets such as Conficker, Zeus, and Cryptolocker apply a technique called Domain-Fluxing or Domain Name Generation Algorithms (DGA), in which the infected bot periodically generates and tries to resolve a large number of pseudorando…
On the genetics of psoriasis
1973
To elucidate the mode of inheritance in psoriasis, Falconer's model for estimating heritability which is under the assumption of multifactorial inheritance, was applied to the data of Hellgren (1967) from Sweden. The heritability estimates were based on both manifest and potential psoriasis since a clear separation of these two categories was impossible. These estimates were 64% for parents, 60% for siblings and 52% for all first degree relatives which included the children of psoriatic cases. For second degree relatives it was 48%. None of these differences are statistically significant. The results are discussed.
Hereditary angiodema: a current state-of-the-art review, VII: Canadian Hungarian 2007 International Consensus Algorithm for the Diagnosis, Therapy, a…
2008
Background We published the Canadian 2003 International Consensus Algorithm for the Diagnosis, Therapy, and Management of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE; C1 inhibitor [C1-INH] deficiency) in 2004. Objective To ensure that this consensus remains current. Methods In collaboration with the Canadian Network of Rare Blood Disorder Organizations, we held the second Canadian Consensus discussion with our international colleagues in Toronto, Ontario, on February 3, 2006, and reviewed its content at the Fifth C1 Inhibitor Deficiency Workshop in Budapest on June 2, 2007. Papers were presented by international investigators, and this consensus algorithm approach resulted. Results This consensus algorithm …
ISHLT consensus document on lung transplantation in patients with connective tissue disease: Part I: Epidemiology, assessment of extrapulmonary condi…
2021
Patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) and advanced lung disease are often considered suboptimal candidates for lung transplantation (LTx) due to their underlying medical complexity and potential surgical risk. There is substantial variability across LTx centers regarding the evaluation and listing of these patients. The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation-supported consensus document on lung transplantation in patients with CTD standardization aims to clarify definitions of each disease state included under the term CTD, to describe the extrapulmonary manifestations of each disease requiring consideration before transplantation, and to outline the absolute contr…

Analyticity of a restricted formality
2020
International audience; The Kontsevich formality can be viewed as a non-linear map ℱ from the L∞ algebra of poly-vector fields on ℝd to the space of poly-differential operators. The space of the half-homogenous poly-vector fields is a sub-L∞ algebra. We prove here that the restriction of ℱto this subspace is weakly analytic.
Existence and gap-bifurcation of multiple solutions to certain nonlinear eigenvalue problems
1993
IN THIS PAPER we study: (i) a class of operator equations in an abstract Hilbert space; and (ii) the L2-theory of certain nonlinear Schrodinger equations which can be viewed as special cases of (i). In order to describe the type of abstract nonlinear eigenvalue problems to be discussed, consider a real Hilbert space H with scalar product (* , *) and norm II.11 and let S be a (not necessarily bounded) positive self-adjoint linear operator in li. We write S in the form
Singularities of rational Bézier curves
2001
We prove that if an nth degree rational Bezier curve has a singular point, then it belongs to the two (n − 1)th degree rational Bezier curves defined in the (n − 1)th step of the de Casteljau algorithm. Moreover, both curves are tangent at the singular point. A procedure to construct Bezier curves with singularities of any order is given. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
