Improving resource utilization in carrier ethernet technologies

Ethernet está empezando a pasar de las redes de área local a una red de transporte. Sin embargo, como los requisitos de las redes de transporte son más exigentes, la tecnología necesita ser mejorada. Esquemas diseñados para mejorar Ethernet para que cumpla con las necesidades de transporte se pueden categorizar en dos clases. La primera clase mejora solo los componentes de control de Ethernet (Tecnologías basadas en STP), y la segunda clase mejora tanto componentes de control como de encaminamiento de Ethernet (tecnologías basadas en etiquetas). Esta tesis analiza y compara el uso de espacio en las etiquetas de las tecnologias basadas en ellas para garantizar su escalabilidad. La aplicabilidad de las técnicas existentes y los estudios que se pueden utilizar para superar o reducir los problemas de escalabilidad de la etiqueta son evaluados. Además, esta tesis propone un ILP para calcular el óptimo rendimiento de las technologias basadas en STP y las compara con las basadas en etiquetas para ser capaz de determinar, dada una específica situacion, que technologia utilizar.

A disciplina de biónica no curso de design na Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias

Desde a Antiguidade, o Homem ficou fascinado pelos inventos da Natureza. Na mitologia surgiram criaturas, tais como os centauros, que uniram o tronco e a cabeça do Homem com o corpo do cavalo. Segundo a lenda, Dédalo e Ícaro fugiram da ilha de Creta a voar utilizando asas compostas por penas e cera. Nos últimos séculos, várias tentativas foram feitas para aproveitar estruturas e formas oriundas da Natureza para engenhos técnicos. Nomeadamente o voo dos pássaros levantou muita curiosidade. Na época renascentista, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), além de outros inventos, tentou entender o mecanismo do vôo dos pássaros e construir um aparelho voador. Durante o século XIX, Otto von Lilienthal aprofundou os estudos do vôo dos pássaros e obteve os conhecimentos básicos que permitiram a construção das primeiras máquinas voadoras com asas.

La poética de lo Icárico

El presente trabajo tiene como centro fundamental el tema de la caída y su relación con la muerte y el lenguaje. Al conjunto de estos elementos hemos dado en denominar Poética de lo Icárico tomando dicho nombre del mito griego de Ícaro. El trabajo de exposición de esta poética aparece configurado en tres capítulos. En el primero se postula un plano para la génesis y el concepto de lo icárico a partir de los tres héroes míticos de la caída: Ícaro, Lucifer y Cristo; el objetivo aquí es identificar y desarrollar los elementos que estructuran esta poética. El segundo capítulo avanza hacia la manifestación de lo icárico en la modernidad, principalmente en autores como Charles Baudelaire, Friedrich Nietzsche, pero, sobre todo, a partir de Baudelaire se analiza una cuarta encarnación del héroe mítico de lo icárico en la figura del poeta moderno; la presencia de Nietzsche está directamente relacionada con la crítica y desmonte de este héroe tal y como llega a Baudelaire, desde el espacio del mito, pero así mismo son importante autores como Lewis Carroll y Carlos Castaneda, quienes preludian ya el desarrollo de la relación de la caída con el lenguaje. La plenitud de este desarrollo se lleva a cabo en el tercer capítulo con el análisis del poema Altazor, del poeta chileno Vicente Huidobro. La tesis que sustenta este capítulo y culmina el trabajo de exposición, plantea el poema de Huidobro como la puesta en plenitud de la poética de lo icárico que se resuelve precisamente en el momento en que Huidobro logra que la caída funcione dentro del poema como su esencia misma, en la medida en que lo determina o determina de manera absoluta el lenguaje con el cual está escrito, y, de este modo, con Huidobro, la relación inicial entre la caída, la muerte y el lenguaje termina siendo la totalidad misma de un poema que, en cuanto a lo icárico, abre para la poesía hispanoamericana nuevas posibilidades de lo poético.

The impact of traffic emissions on atmospheric ozone and OH: results from QUANTIFY

To estimate the impact of emissions by road, aircraft and ship traffic on ozone and OH in the present-day atmosphere six different atmospheric chemistry models have been used. Based on newly developed global emission inventories for road, ship and aircraft emission data sets each model performed sensitivity simulations reducing the emissions of each transport sector by 5%. The model results indicate that on global annual average lower tropospheric ozone responds most sensitive to ship emissions (50.6%±10.9% of the total traffic induced perturbation), followed by road (36.7%±9.3%) and aircraft exhausts (12.7%±2.9%), respectively. In the northern upper troposphere between 200–300 hPa at 30–60° N the maximum impact from road and ship are 93% and 73% of the maximum effect of aircraft, respectively. The latter is 0.185 ppbv for ozone (for the 5% case) or 3.69 ppbv when scaling to 100%. On the global average the impact of road even dominates in the UTLS-region. The sensitivity of ozone formation per NOx molecule emitted is highest for aircraft exhausts. The local maximum effect of the summed traffic emissions on the ozone column predicted by the models is 0.2 DU and occurs over the northern subtropical Atlantic extending to central Europe. Below 800 hPa both ozone and OH respond most sensitively to ship emissions in the marine lower troposphere over the Atlantic. Based on the 5% perturbation the effect on ozone can exceed 0.6% close to the marine surface (global zonal mean) which is 80% of the total traffic induced ozone perturbation. In the southern hemisphere ship emissions contribute relatively strongly to the total ozone perturbation by 60%–80% throughout the year. Methane lifetime changes against OH are affected strongest by ship emissions up to 0.21 (± 0.05)%, followed by road (0.08 (±0.01)%) and air traffic (0.05 (± 0.02)%). Based on the full scale ozone and methane perturbations positive radiative forcings were calculated for road emissions (7.3±6.2 mWm−2) and for aviation (2.9±2.3 mWm−2). Ship induced methane lifetime changes dominate over the ozone forcing and therefore lead to a net negative forcing (−25.5±13.2 mWm−2).

Persistence of anticancer activity in berry extracts after simulated gastrointestinal digestion and colonic fermentation.

Fruit and vegetable consumption is associated at the population level with a protective effect against colorectal cancer. Phenolic compounds, especially abundant in berries, are of interest due to their putative anticancer activity. After consumption, however, phenolic compounds are subject to digestive conditions within the gastrointestinal tract that alter their structures and potentially their function. However, the majority of phenolic compounds are not efficiently absorbed in the small intestine and a substantial portion pass into the colon. We characterized berry extracts (raspberries, strawberries, blackcurrants) produced by in vitro-simulated upper intestinal tract digestion and subsequent fecal fermentation. These extracts and selected individual colonic metabolites were then evaluated for their putative anticancer activities using in vitro models of colorectal cancer, representing the key stages of initiation, promotion and invasion. Over a physiologically-relevant dose range (0-50 µg/ml gallic acid equivalents), the digested and fermented extracts demonstrated significant anti-genotoxic, anti-mutagenic and anti-invasive activity on colonocytes. This work indicates that phenolic compounds from berries undergo considerable structural modifications during their passage through the gastrointestinal tract but their breakdown products and metabolites retain biological activity and can modulate cellular processes associated with colon cancer.

Tracking (poly)phenol components from raspberries in ileal fluid

The (poly)phenols in ileal fluid after ingestion of raspberries were analysed by targeted and non-targeted LC-MSn approaches. Targeted approaches identified major anthocyanin and ellagitannin components at varying recoveries and with considerable inter-individual variation. Non-targeted LC-MSn analysis using an Orbitrap mass spectrometer gave exact mass MS data which was sifted using a software program to select peaks that changed significantly after supplementation. This method confirmed the recovery of the targeted components but also identified novel raspberry-specific metabolites. Some components (including ellagitannin and previously unidentified proanthocyanidin derivatives) may have arisen from raspberry seeds that survived intact in ileal samples. Other components include potential breakdown products of anthocyanins, unidentified components and phenolic metabolites formed in either the gut epithelia or after absorption into the circulatory system and efflux back into the gut lumen. The possible physiological roles of the ileal metabolites in the large bowel are discussed.

Comparison of in vivo and in vitro digestion on polyphenol composition in lingonberries: potential impact on colonic health

The composition of polyphenols in ileal fluid samples obtained from an ileostomy subject after lingonberry intake was compared with lingonberry extracts obtained after simulated in vitro digestion (IVDL) and subsequent faecal fermentation (IVFL). HPLC-PDA-MS/MS analysis confirmed similar patterns of lingonberry (poly)phenolic metabolism after the in vivo and in vitro digestion, with reduced recovery of anthocyanins and a similar pattern of recovery for proanthocyanidins observed for both methods of digestion. On the other hand, the IVFL sample contained none of the original (poly)phenolic components but was enriched in simple aromatic components. Digested and fermented extracts exhibited significant (P < 0.05) anti-genotoxic (Comet assay), anti-mutagenic (Mutation Frequency assay), and anti-invasive (Matrigel Invasion assay) effects in human cell culture models of colorectal cancer at physiologically-relevant doses (0-50 μg/mL gallic acid equivalents). The ileal fluid induced significant anti-genotoxic activity (P < 0.05), but at a higher concentration (200 μg/mL gallic acid equivalents) than the IVDL. Despite extensive structural modification following digestion and fermentation, lingonberry extracts retained their bioactivity in vitro. This reinforces the need for studies to consider the impact of digestion when investigating bioactivity of dietary phytochemicals.
