Deploying and Managing a Network of Autonomous Internet Measurement Probes: Lessons Learned by Urban Sedlar, Miha Rugelj, Mojca Volk, Janez Sterle

“…This presents an extremely heterogeneous environment where problems are difficult to pinpoint, because of either the fast changing radio channel conditions, daily mobility of the user base, or a number of fallback technologies that are available at a specific location and chosen by the terminal itself. To quantify these conditions, we have developed a mobile internet measurement probe called QMON, which can be either statically deployed or used in drive measurements and is able to collect hundreds of key performance indicators on physical, network, and application layers of the network stack, acting at the same time as an event-driven real-time sensor network and a batch-mode detailed data collection device. …”

Deep mutational scanning of the Trypanosoma brucei developmental regulator RBP6 reveals an essential disordered region influenced by positive residues by Saúl Rojas-Sánchez, Nikolay G. Kolev, Christian Tschudi

“…Expression of libraries containing all single-point variants of RBP6 in non-infectious procyclic forms and subsequent purification of infectious metacyclics supports the existence of an RNA-recognition motif (RRM) and reveal an N-terminal intrinsically disordered region (N-IDR). In contrast to the RRM, the N-IDR is more tolerant to substitutions; however, a handful of positions contain a third of all deleterious mutations found in the N-IDR. …”

Optimal Tag-Based Cooperation Control for the “Prisoner’s Dilemma” by Rui Dong, Xinghong Jia, Xianjia Wang, Yonggang Chen

“…An optimal timing control (OTC) of switched replicator dynamics is designed to consider the control costs, the cooperation rate at terminal time, and the cooperator’s payoff. The results show that the switching control (SC) between an optimal identified rate control of the TBC and no TBC can properly not only maintain a high cooperation rate but also greatly enhance the payoff of the cooperators. …”
