Study of remote routing strategy in parallel network simulation by Yu CUI, Zhao-xin ZHANG, Hong-li ZHANG, Zhi-hong TIAN

“…The advantages and disadvantages of several remote routing strategies for parallel network simulation were studied，and a new method based on optimize-edge routers was presented.Through converting the original forwarding style of routing IP to routing ID of edge router,the mechanism increased the speed of routing lookup.Also the exploitations of the tree contraction,edge router reduction and assnode reduction in the proposed mechanism effectively decreased the memory cost.Experimental results show 85% reduction in memory use and 75% decrease in time cost for the new routing strategy,comparing with the border-based remote routing strategy in PDNS.…”

The Concentration Function Problem for Locally Compact Groups Revisited: Nondissipating Space-Time Random Walks, -Decomposable Laws, and Their Continuous Time Analogues by Wilfried Hazod

“…Analogous results are obtained in the case of continuous time: nondissipating Lévy processes are related to relatively compact distributions of generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes and corresponding space-time processes and to -decomposable laws, respectively with denoting a continuous group of automorphisms acting as contracting mod. a compact subgroup.…”

Réformer l’hôpital comme une entreprise. Les errements de trente ans de politique hospitalière (1983-2013) by Jean-Paul Domin

“…Since the late 70s there has been a change in references in the shape of a new way of considering hospitals based on new standards, notably the theory of contracts and the principal-agent theory. This theoretical transformation incites public authorities to experiment with new management schemes favouring doctors’ participation in managing establishments. …”

ANYTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN?! EXPLORING FURTHER AVENUES FOR WRITING ANOTHER COMMENTARY ON CHRONICLES by L C Jonker

“…Scholars may justifiably ask whether there is anything new under the sun to investigate in another commentary on this book. Having been contracted to produce a commentary for the Old Testament Library series (as follow-up to Japhet’s majestic commentary), I am investigating some new avenues for this endeavour. …”

THEORETICAL ASPECTS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF TREATIES IN TIME AND SPACE by Roxana-Mariana POPESCU

“…In principle, a treaty is applied on the territory or with regard to the territory of the contracting parties. There are, however, cases in which the treaty can only be applied to a part of their territory or it can have an „ultra-territorial” application, that is, it is intended to be applied on the territory of third countries.…”

On iterative solution of nonlinear functional equations in a metric space by Rabindranath Sen, Sulekha Mukherjee

“…We use Kannan's criterion [1] for the existence of a unique fixed point of an operator instead of the contraction mapping principle as employed in [2]. Operator equations of the form Anu=Pmu, where u∈R, n and m positive integers, are also treated.…”

Common Fixed Point Theorems in Modified Intuitionistic Fuzzy Metric Spaces by Saurabh Manro, Sanjay Kumar, S. S. Bhatia, Kenan Tas

“…In the first section, we prove a common fixed point theorem in modified intuitionistic fuzzy metric space by combining the ideas of pointwise R-weak commutativity and reciprocal continuity of mappings satisfying contractive conditions. In the second section, we prove common fixed point theorems in modified intuitionistic fuzzy metric space from the class of compatible continuous mappings to noncompatible and discontinuous mappings. …”

Biomaterial Influence on Intraocular Lens Performance: An Overview by Cari Pérez-Vives

“…We reviewed the published literature describing the adverse events that are mainly related to the intraocular lens (IOL) material, such as PCO, ACO, and the subsequent capsule contraction, as well as glistening formation. The adverse events presented in this overview are the most common ones in clinical practice, and therefore, they are generally included in the clinical protocols for IOL evaluation.…”
