Adaptive Low Priority Packet Marking for Better TCP Performance

2003

This paper proposes a packet marking scheme for TCP traffic. Unlike previous literature work, in our scheme the majority of TCP packets are transmitted as high priority. The role of a low priority packet appears that of a probe, whose goal is to early discover network congestion conditions. Low priority packets are marked according to an adaptive marking algorithm. Numerical results show that our scheme provides improved throughput/delay performance.

TCP Performance in Mobile Ad hoc Networks

2013

International audience; In this paper, we present a survey of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) protocol for better performance in the MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network). After a short presentation of the main features of TCP, we give the most important problems from which TCP suffer in MANET. We present after that some approaches proposed in the literature in order to improve its performance. Our paper contains also a performance evaluation of TCP NewReno and TCP Vegas transport protocols under AODV and DSR routing protocols. The simulations are conducted under varying conditions of number of TCP connections, number of nodes and mobility.

CORPORATE VENTURE CAPITAL SYNDICATION STRATEGIES: A DYNAMIC NETWORK PERSPECTIVE

2018

Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) syndication is embraced by over 80% of corporates which co-investing the same startups with other corporates create a CVC syndication network. In this paper, we aim at exploring the evolutionary dynamics of the CVC syndication network. Specifically, we address this topic adopting two different perspectives. First, we investigate the architectural evolution of the CVC syndication network examining five dimensions that characterize the evolution of the network structure (i.e. degree distribution, connectivity, clustering, density and degree assortativity). In addition, we study how three network strategies (i.e. prominence, entrepreneurial and relational) evolv…

Cadmium mass measurements between the neutron shell closures at N=50 and 82

2010

International audience; The mass values of the neutron-deficient cadmium isotopes 99−109Cd and of the neutronrich isotopes 114,120,122−124,126,128Cd have been measured using ISOLTRAP. The behavior of the separation energies of the cadmium isotopes from N = 50 to 82 is discussed.

Deposition order controls the first stages of a metal-organic coordination network on an insulator surface

2016

| openaire: EC/FP7/610446/EU//PAMS We report on first stages toward the formation of a surface-confined metal-organic coordination network (MOCN) by sequential deposition of biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid and iron atoms on the surface of a bulk insulator, calcite (10.4). The influence of the deposition order on the structure formation is studied by noncontact atomic force microscopy operated in ultrahigh vacuum at room temperature. It is found that sequential deposition facilitates MOCN formation when the organic linker molecules are first adsorbed on the surface, followed by iron deposition. This observation is explained by first-principles computations, indicating that the metal-molecule…

Three-dimensional hydration layer mapping on the (10.4) surface of calcite using amplitude modulation atomic force microscopy

2014

Calcite, the most stable modification of calcium carbonate, is a major mineral in nature. It is, therefore, highly relevant in a broad range of fields such as biomineralization, sea water desalination and oil production. Knowledge of the surface structure and reactivity of the most stable cleavage plane, calcite (10.4), is pivotal for understanding the role of calcite in these diverse areas. Given the fact that most biological processes and technical applications take place in an aqueous environment, perhaps the most basic - yet decisive - question addresses the interaction of water molecules with the calcite (10.4) surface. In this work, amplitude modulation atomic force microscopy is used…

Constraining the Pre-atmospheric Parameters of Large Meteoroids: Košice, a Case Study

2016

Out of a total around 50,000 meteorites currently known to science, the atmospheric passage was recorded instrumentally in only 25 cases with the potential to derive their atmospheric trajectories and pre-impact heliocentric orbits. Similarly, while observations of meteors generate thousands of new entries per month to existing databases, it is extremely rare they lead to meteorite recovery (http://www.meteoriteorbits.info/). These 25 exceptional cases thus deserve a thorough re-examination by different techniques—not only to ensure that we are able to match the model with the observations, but also to enable the best possible interpretation scenario and facilitate the robust extraction of …

Magnetic functionalities in MOFs: from the framework to the pore

2017

In this review, we show the different approaches so far developed to prepare Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) presenting electronic functionalities, with particular attention to magnetic properties. We will cover the chemical design of the framework necessary for the incorporation of different magnetic phenomena, as well as the encapsulation of functional species in the pores leading to hybrid multifunctional MOFs combining an extended lattice with a molecular lattice.
