Show moreA method of securing against an unauthorized transmission within an authorized multimedia transmission from a sending data processor to a receiving data processor. The method includes altering the network transmission to interfere with the unauthorized transmission and render the unauthorized transmission invalid to the receiving data processor while not noticeably interfering with the streaming multimedia transmission. Monitoring for retransmissions or retransmission requests also serves as an indicator to an administrator that an unauthorized transmission is occurring. The method of this invention can be implemented by network administrator middleboxes such as firewalls.

Show moreTo improve the wear resistance of titanium and extend its service life, coating boron nitride thin films on the surface of titanium matrix was studied in this work. To obtain surface property enhancement, the samples were coated by isothermal sintering at 1000°C – 1400°C in a vacuum furnace for 2h, 4h or 6h. The microstructure of the thin film was investigated employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). To identify the composition of interlayers between BN and Ti, EDS analysis was run through the whole reaction zone. It showed that the BN was being consumed, titanium borides (TiB and TiB2), titanium nitride (TiN1-x), and solid solution of nitrogen in titanium (α-Ti (N)) layers formed at the interface between the BN coating and Ti matrix. Correspondingly, the XRD analysis indicated that TiB, TiB2, TiN, and α-Ti(N) phases were presented in good agreement with the EDS result. The layers grew fast in the sintering process which benefited from the fine grain size and highly oriented layers grown in the reaction zone. However, the well-known parabolic diffusional growth is only part of mechanisms for explaining the reactiondiffusion kinetics. The diffusion paths were obtained from the phase sequences at the interface between BN and Ti and thus could be represented on the isothermal section of the B-N-Ti ternary diagram. Moreover, the influence of the sintering temperature and the length of the actual sintering period on the layer sequences and thickness of the reaction zone were investigated. The micro-hardness test results showed that the Ti matrix with deposited BN thin films exhibited significant increased surface hardness. Obviously, the surface hardness xiii rose along with sintering temperature and holding time, and the hardness could be improved over 50%.

Show moreThe Quadratic Exponential (QE) model is a market standard simulation method for the Heston stochastic volatility model. We identify certain numerical problems with the standard discretization and modify the original method to correct these problems. We implement our modified QE scheme for the Heston model in the Guaranteed Automatic Integration Library (GAIL)|a suite of algorithms that includes Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods for multidimensional integration and computation of means. GAIL computes answers to satisfy user-defined error tolerances. We also implement variance reduction techniques for our modified QE scheme in GAIL. The numerical results show that our modified scheme is fast and accurate, and satisfies the user-defined error tolerances.

Show moreAs high performers are of great value in all organizations, understanding factors influencing their ability to maintain strong performance can have useful implications for leaders. This study examines the relationship between employees’ performance, their stressors and coping approaches as defined by work-family conflict and perception and enactment of social support. Three hundred and twelve managers in a healthcare organization were categorized based on their performance in the year prior to the study. Results showed that high performers had higher satisfaction and use of supervisor support than moderate performers. The more satisfied managers were with support from their supervisor, coworkers, and friends, the less they reported work-family conflict. Satisfaction and use of support from friends influenced both work-to-family and family-to- work conflict.

Title: SEISMIC STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS USING INTERVAL GROUND MOTION

Show moreSeismic analysis is a crucial procedure for the design of a structure subjected to ground motion. In conventional seismic analysis procedures, a structure is subjected to a limited number of earthquake excitations. Moreover, these procedures do not consider the presence of variations and uncertainties in those excitations. Interval analysis is one method capable of accounting for both of these limitations. In this work, a new method for seismic structural analysis, with interval uncertainty in the response spectrum, is developed, which is capable of obtaining the bounds of the dynamic response of a structure. This method is hereinafter referred to as Interval Ground Motion Analysis (IGMA). In this method, first, various response spectra are combined as an interval function, referred to as an interval response spectrum. Then, the response spectrum analysis is performed using the developed interval response spectrum, and the bounds of the dynamic response of the structure are obtained. It is shown that obtaining these bounds is computationally feasible and does not require iterative procedures such as Monte Carlo simulation. Numerical example problems, which illustrate the developed algorithm, are presented, along with a comparison of solutions obtained by another solution method.

Title: CONGESTION CONTROL AND PACKET REORDERING FOR MULTIPATH TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL

Show moreModern devices are equipped with multiple network interfaces. Traditionally, only one of these is in use at any given time. However, simultaneous use of these mul- tiple interfaces will lead to better user experience. Support for this multi-interface scenario has led to the development of Multipath Transmission Control Protocol or MPTCP. MPTCP, as proposed by the IETF working group mptcp, allows a single data stream to be split across multiple paths. This has obvious benefits for reliability, and it can also lead to more efficient use of network resources. But a major problem in MPTCP is the congestion control and the eventual packet reordering at the desti- nation. Various techniques for congestion control for MPTCP have been given, but the packet reordering at the destination is not considered. Efficient packet reordering schemes can drastically improve the throughput for the MPTCP protocol. Therefore, in this work various available packet reordering techniques available for single path TCP are tested in the multipath situation. These algorithms are Duplicate Selective Acknowledgement (DSACK), Eifel and Forward Retransmission Timeout (F RTO). Various network topologies are simulated in a network simulator ns-3 and measure- ments are taken for various path characteristics to see which algorithm works best for the multipath scenario.

Together architects and engineers will modify and re analyze a structure created by pervious designers, and select any new materials for construction. In creating the hotel students will be responsible for the structural analysis of columns, beams, foundation, steel, and concrete design required to insure all serviceability requirements. The students will be required to follow the 2006 International Building Code, and secure the safety of all possible occupants. Management, leadership, ethics, and teamwork will be an integral part of building a large scale structure as students learn to work together on a “real life” project.
