Availability in BitTorrent Systems
2007
In this paper, we investigate the problem of highly available, massive-scale file distribution in the Internet. To this end, we conduct a large-scale measurement study of BitTorrent, a popular class of systems that use swarms of actively downloading peers to assist each other in file distribution. The first generation of BitTorrent systems used a central tracker to enable coordination among peers, resulting in low availability due to the tracker's single point of failure. Our study analyzes the prevalence and impact of two recent trends to improve BitTorrent availability: (i) use of multiple trackers, and (ii) use of Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), both of which also help to balance load be…
Difusión de innovaciones en la agricultura ecológica y análisis de redes sociales : un ensayo de aplicación
2021
La manera en la que las innovaciones se difunden sobre el territorio tiene una estrecha relación con la configuración de las redes del productor agrario en torno a las organizaciones. En esta investigación se estudia la relación entre los flujos de información y las redes personales en la agricultura ecológica que directa o indirectamente promueven las innovaciones en el sector. A partir de un listado de 28 innovaciones, agrupadas en cuatro categorías (Producto, Proceso, Organización y Marketing) se realizan entrevistas en profundidad a 11 actores relacionados con la agricultura ecológica las provincias de Castellón y Valencia para analizar las redes de difusión de innovaciones. Con los dat…
Impacts of urban environment on the eco-physiological responses of trees: Tree-Talker (TT) new devices for the monitoring of trees
2019
Urban ecosystems will become increasingly important in the coming years. Urban trees are likely to increase in importance to society as their value in enhancing people's sense of well-being as well as the direct economic impacts are increasingly recognized. Urban forest monitoring data are essential to assess the impacts of tree planting campaigns and management programs. Tree-Talker (TT) is a device based ton the Internet of Things (IoT) technology for the monitoring of trees physical and physiological conditions. The TT allows the monitoring of (i) multispectral measurements of the sunlight transmitted through the canopy in 12 bands across the visible and near infra-red spectra; (ii) sap …

Smart Technologies for the Environmental Design of Smaller Urban Centres
2020
The present study focuses on welfare measures and specifically on healthcare. The challenge we would like to accept is to provide efficient healthcare to residents in an isolated area without health services, maintaining the same level of healthcare ensured by hospitals. The innovative design, that we want to experience, is closely linked to the use of ICT, information and communication technologies, because these technologies would be able to perform autonomously multiple functions, using remote control. Telemedicine or “virtual health” is a particular branch of ICT that can improve future quality of living in a marginal urban center as a tool to ensure prompt access to expert advice, as w…
Towards an Assessment of Public Library Value
2010
PurposeThis paper aims to present a methodology, early findings, possible applications of results and lessons learned from the research study “Public libraries: value, trust and satisfaction”, which has been conducted within the public library development project ‘Father's Third Son’ in Latvia.Design/methodology/approachA combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was used (although the findings reported here are largely drawn from the quantitative study) drawing on various theories of information behaviour and use‐oriented information service evaluation.FindingsThe study gives a good picture of user information needs in Latvia, the sources they use to fulfil them and the role of p…
Reklāmas ietekme uz SIA „FESTIVAL” patērētāju un tās pilnveides iespējas.
2020
Kristians Dans Orlovs. Kvalifikācijas darbs: „Reklāmas ietekme uz SIA „FESTIVAL” patērētāju un tās pilnveides iespējas. Tēmas aktualitāte saistīta ar patērētāju uzvedības paradumiem, kas saistās ar veidu, kā tiek meklēta informācija par uzņēmumiem un produktiem, kur pamatā tiek izmantots internets. Interneta reklāmai ir virkne priekšrocību, t.sk. no vēlamās patērētāju rīcības un uztveres, tāpēc to izmantojot, uzņēmumi spēj piesaistīt gan vairāk klientus, palielināt tirdzniecības apjomu, gan arī uzlabot savu konkurētspēju. Uzņēmums „FESTIVAL”, kurš darbojas ar zīmolu „ABCPRINT”, neizmanto reklāmu internetā, savukārt tā konkurenti to dara. Arī citas esošās un izmantotās uzņēmuma reklāmas akti…

Collaborative Content Downloading in VANETs with Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation
2019
Vehicle collaborative content downloading has become a hotspot in current vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) research. However, in reality, the highly dynamic nature of VANET makes users lose resources easily, and the transmission of invalid segment data also wastes valuable bandwidth and storage of the users&rsquo
