International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In keeping with China’s desire to build soft power to parallel its economic growth, the policing of city streets has moved to the forefront as a mechanism for moral regulation and improving urban prestige. Under pressure to civilize their citizenry, many Chinese cities have become entrepreneurial cities within a type of cultural growth ...

Towards a better understanding and analysis of controlled delay (CoDel) algorithm by using fluid modelling

IET Networks, 2019
In this study, a modified fluid model is proposed to understand the design of controlled delay (CoDel) algorithm for active queue management (AQM) and analyse its sensitivity to parameter settings.

EXPERIENCING MORE‐THAN‐PANDEMIC WATERSCAPES: An Intra‐urban Comparison of Water Practices and Geographies in Nairobi

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract While many African cities, such as Nairobi, fared comparatively well during the pandemic years, urban residents still faced compounded uncertainties and an unequal distribution of burdens that were infrastructurally co‐mediated, for example, within and through place‐specific waterscapes and their socio‐technical infrastructures.

Optimizing Service Differentiation Scheme with Sized-based Queue Management in DiffServ Networks [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper we introduced Modified Sized-based Queue Management as a dropping scheme that aims to fairly prioritize and allocate more service to VoIP traffic over bulk data like FTP as the former one usually has small packet size with less impact to ...

AUGURAL TERRITORIES: On the Prophetic Organizing of the Mid‐range

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article I introduce the concept of augural territories to theorize the urbanism that emerged during pandemic lockdowns. I draw on ethnographic research in Madrid to examine how community‐based responses—including mutual aid networks, food pantries and neighbourhood associations—disrupted the spatial and temporal logics of territorial ...

Far From Routine: Employers' Recruitment and Control Strategies in Two Low Wage Sectors

Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contrary to HRM's prevailing view that low wage work is routine and not requiring specific HR strategies, this study reveals how employers within low wage sectors pursue active and diverse strategies to segment the labour force and shape the work package.

Queue Management Algorithm for Network Based on Traffic Self-similarity [PDF]

Jisuanji gongcheng
The self-similarity of network traffic result in a continuous burst state of data in the network. In this context, conventional queue management algorithms cannot predict the network traffic burst state in advance, thus resulting in end-to-end delays ...

Out There No One Has a Right to Die

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The eventual goal of space exploration is to colonize exoplanets and their moons outside our solar system. This is a dangerous and immoral endeavour. The extraterrestrial life forms encountered would be hostile, vulnerable or both, and the descendants of the original pioneers would be involuntarily exposed to hazardous conditions and ...

The Longest Queue Drop Policy for Shared-Memory Switches is 1.5-competitive

, 2012
We consider the Longest Queue Drop memory management policy in shared-memory switches consisting of $N$ output ports. The shared memory of size $M\geq N$ may have an arbitrary number of input ports.
