The heterogeneity of inter-domain Internet application flows: entropic analysis and flow graph modelling
2013
The growing popularity of the Internet has triggered the proliferation of various applications, which possess diverse communication patterns and user behaviour. In this paper, the heterogeneous characteristics of Internet applications and traffic are investigated from a complex network and entropic perspective. On the basis of real-life flow data collected from a public network provided by an Internet service provider, flow graphs are constructed for five types of applications as follows: Web, P2P Download, P2P Stream, Video Stream and Instant Messaging. Three types of entropy measures are introduced to the flow graphs, and the heterogeneity of applications within a 24-h period is analysed …

Challenges of translation process research at the workplace
2014
Translation usually takes place at translators’ workplaces, yet much translation process research refers to data collected under controlled conditions such as the classroom or the lab. Pursuant with recent descriptions of translation as a situated activity comes the necessity of investigating that activity where and when it occurs. Many of the methods that have proved useful in the lab have also been applied in the field, and some of the challenges associated with investigating translation at the workplace are common to any kind of empirical translation research. However, certain workplace constraints present special challenges to everyone involved. Some solutions that were developed for a …
How does diversity affect district innovation systems?Findings from a comparative study of european ceramics
2018
This research applies Nelson’s (1993) primary typology of enterprises to understand why the propensity for innovation varies across ceramics district innovation systems in Europe. We use innovation systems and industrial district theories to explore the innovation capacity of the two most important ceramic tile industrial districts in Europe—Emilia Romagna in Italy and Castellon in Spain. Our analysis shows that, in both districts, innovation plays a decisive role in allowing companies to maintain competitiveness in a globalizing market. However, by comparing the composition of their district innovation systems, our analysis shows that: (i) although levels of competition in both districts a…
How value and trust influence loyalty in wireless telecommunications industry
2012
Despite making significant investments in enhancing the customer service experience, long-term customer loyalty remains an elusive dream for many service providers. Particularly in the telecommunications industry, switching providers even from within continuous contract relationships is easy and companies struggle to retain their customers. Trust and value are considered cornerstones of long-term relationships, so it is perhaps surprising that previous research on how relationship age and usage level actually affect value, trust and loyalty is inconclusive. The current research is set in the telecommunications services field and draws on a large-scale survey undertaken in Finland. The findi…
Lending Crowdfunding : Principles and Market Development
2020
AbstractCrowdlending has emerged as the leading form of crowdfunding in terms of scope and scale. For lenders, it offers new investment opportunities, often offering better returns than some alternative investment channels, as well as opening to incorporate new small-scale investors that have not enjoyed such opportunities before. For borrowers, it offers new channels to access credit, often either offered at better terms or by including groups that have previously been marginalized and underserved by traditional credit service providers. In the current chapter we present the brief history of crowdlending, its diversity of models, the current state or the industry, as well as the underlying…

Influence of Silence and Noise Filtering on Speech Quality Monitoring
2021
With the exponential increase of mobile users and internet subscribers, the utilization of voice over internet protocol (VoIP) application is increasing dramatically. People exploit different VoIP applications for effective communication, for example, Google Meet, Microsoft Skype, Zoom video conferencing applications, etc. The single-ended speech quality metrics are employed for measuring and monitoring the quality of speech. However, different types of degradations present in the surroundings distort the quality of speech. In order to meet the desired quality of experience (QoE) level of end-user while using VoIP applications, it is necessary to reduce VoIP degradations and obtain the opti…
