Download or read book Cliff s Nodes written by Clifford E. Swartz and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cliff Swartz is a passionate advocate for better physics teaching, based on a curriculum that is quantitative and includes experiments 'with a purpose.' Here, in a collection of editorials written for The Physics Teacher magazine -- along with a few new ones -- he cajoles, chides, preaches, and provides a good swift kick in the intellectual pants for those who are working to share physics with the next generation.Gleaned from a lifetime in the lab and in the classroom, Swartz's book is chock-full of wisdom for neophytes as well as seasoned veterans. Favorite editorials such as 'Practically Perfect in Every Way' and 'Justifying Atoms' provide the reader with an insider's view of the state of physics teaching over the three decades that Swartz edited The Physics Teacher. His advice and opinions -- often thought-provoking or controversial -- should not go unheeded.

Download or read book Scalable Performance Signalling and Congestion Avoidance written by Michael Welzl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book answers a question which came about while the author was work ing on his diploma thesis [1]: would it be better to ask for the available band width instead of probing the network (like TCP does)? The diploma thesis was concerned with long-distance musical interaction ("NetMusic"). This is a very peculiar application: only a small amount of bandwidth may be necessary, but timely delivery and reduced loss are very important. Back then, these require ments led to a thorough investigation of existing telecommunication network mechanisms, but a satisfactory answer to the question could not be found. Simply put, the answer is "yes" - this work describes a mechanism which indeed enables an application to "ask for the available bandwidth". This obvi ously does not only concern online musical collaboration any longer. Among others, the mechanism yields the following advantages over existing alterna tives: • good throughput while maintaining close to zero loss and a small bottleneck queue length • usefulness for streaming media applications due to a very smooth rate • feasibility for satellite and wireless links • high scalability Additionally, a reusable framework for future applications that need to "ask the network" for certain performance data was developed.
Download or read book Node written by Sue Tyrell and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-23 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The node is a world within our world, camouflaged by stationary storms that erupt periodically around the globe. Each time the node has appeared through the eons, it has swallowed pieces of the ecosystem at that particular time in history. Everything within the node has existed separately from our world, and those things it has added have all evolved to survive . . . plants, animals, even humans. A beautiful, but emotionally damaged, tough-talking young woman, Natalie West, embarks upon an archaeological expedition with her parents’ old exploratory team—the only incentive strong enough to entice Natalie from her self-imposed isolation. The mission, on the surface, is a noble quest to find extinct, medicinal plants. But, secret and dangerous agendas threaten to destroy more than just the altruistic high hopes of the naive scientists.

Download or read book Network Congestion Control written by Michael Welzl and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-12-13 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Internet becomes increasingly heterogeneous, the issue of congestion control becomes ever more important. In order to maintain good network performance, mechanisms must be provided to prevent the network from being congested for any significant period of time. Michael Welzl describes the background and concepts of Internet congestion control, in an accessible and easily comprehensible format. Throughout the book, not just the how, but the why of complex technologies including the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Active Queue Management are explained. The text also gives an overview of the state-of-the-art in congestion control research and an insight into the future. Network Congestion Control: Presents comprehensive, easy-to-read documentation on the advanced topic of congestion control without heavy maths. Aims to give a thorough understanding of the evolution of Internet congestion control: how TCP works, why it works the way it does, and why some congestion control concepts failed for the Internet. Explains the Chiu/Jain vector diagrams and introduces a new method of using these diagrams for analysis, teaching & design. Elaborates on how the theory of congestion control impacts on the practicalities of service delivery. Includes an appendix with examples/problems to assist learning. Provides an accompanying website with Java tools for teaching congestion control, as well as examples, links to code and projects/bibliography. This invaluable text will provide academics and researchers in computer science, electrical engineering and communications networking, as well as students on advanced networking and Internet courses, with a thorough understanding of the current state and future evolution of Internet congestion control.

Download or read book Reinforcement Learning second edition written by Richard S. Sutton and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significantly expanded and updated new edition of a widely used text on reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial intelligence. Reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial intelligence, is a computational approach to learning whereby an agent tries to maximize the total amount of reward it receives while interacting with a complex, uncertain environment. In Reinforcement Learning, Richard Sutton and Andrew Barto provide a clear and simple account of the field's key ideas and algorithms. This second edition has been significantly expanded and updated, presenting new topics and updating coverage of other topics. Like the first edition, this second edition focuses on core online learning algorithms, with the more mathematical material set off in shaded boxes. Part I covers as much of reinforcement learning as possible without going beyond the tabular case for which exact solutions can be found. Many algorithms presented in this part are new to the second edition, including UCB, Expected Sarsa, and Double Learning. Part II extends these ideas to function approximation, with new sections on such topics as artificial neural networks and the Fourier basis, and offers expanded treatment of off-policy learning and policy-gradient methods. Part III has new chapters on reinforcement learning's relationships to psychology and neuroscience, as well as an updated case-studies chapter including AlphaGo and AlphaGo Zero, Atari game playing, and IBM Watson's wagering strategy. The final chapter discusses the future societal impacts of reinforcement learning.
