Offering zero-rated content in the shadow of net neutrality by Giuseppe Colangelo, Valerio Torti

“… In the recent Telenor case, the EU Court of Justice has for the first time interpreted the relationship between net neutrality regulation and zero-rating offers, considering the former incompatible with the offer of packages in which data traffic generated by certain applications does not count towards the consumption of the data volume purchased and whereby, once that data volume has been used up, end-users may continue to use those applications without restriction, while other applications are blocked or slowed. …”

Routing metric based on interference measurement for multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks by Wen-jiang JI, Jian-feng MA, Jun-wei ZHANG, Zhuo MA

“…An interference sensing based(ISB)routing metric which mainly depend on the estimation of signal power was introduced for the multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks.The existing metric such like WCETT and iAWARE all have their drawbacks were shown.As shown in the equations of iAWARE,it could be proved that worse background noise corresponds to a better metric value which was imprecise.The iAWARE to make it suited for the environment with background noise was improved,and the isotonic property was regained that the Bellman-Ford and Dijkstra algorithm could be deployed in ISB.The simulation results prove the novel algorithm takes the advantages of higher efficiency both in throughput and end to end delays,compared with the traditional ones HopCount,ETT,WCETT and iAWARE.…”

Sketch-based data plane hardware model for software-defined measurement by Mian DAI, Guang CHENG

“…A sketch-based data plane hardware model for software-defined measurement was introduced,and it was implemented in the programmable network device NetMagic.A generic sketch model for collecting flow-level data using high-speed memories on the FPGA was proposed,the control plane collected and cached the data for further process.Count-min sketch and 2-universal hash functions in the SRAM of FPGA for real-time traffic counting of high-speed traffic were implemented; Bloom filter was used to rebuild the original 5-tuple data which solved the irreversibility of sketch.The CERNET backbone trace to evaluate the prototype system was used,the result shows that it has the ability to use the limited hardware resource to measure a large amount of network traffic data with a proper measurement accuracy at the same time.…”

Habitual alcohol consumption associated with reduced semen quality and changes in reproductive hormones; a cross-sectional study among 1221 young Danish men by Anders Juul, Niels Jørgensen, Niels E Skakkebæk, Shanna H Swan, Tina Kold Jensen, Mads Gottschau, Jens Otto Broby Madsen, Anne-Maria Andersson, Tina Harmer Lassen, Lærke Priskorn

“…Total alcohol consumption: (1) in the week preceding (habitual/typical) the visit (recent alcohol intake), (2) in a typical week and (3) frequency of ‘binge drinking’ (consuming more than 5 units/day)) in the past 30 days was estimated.Main outcome measures Semen quality (volume, sperm concentration, total sperm count, and percentages of motile and morphologically normal spermatozoa) and serum concentration of reproductive hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone, testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin, oestradiol, free testosterone and inhibin B).Results Sperm concentration, total sperm count and percentage of spermatozoa with normal morphology were negatively associated with increasing habitual alcohol intake. …”
