A Measurement Study of the Structured Overlay Network in P2P File-Sharing Systems by Mo Zhou, Yafei Dai, Xiaoming Li

“…The structured overlay network, also known as DHT, has been used in these applications to improve the scalability, and robustness of the system, and to make it free from single-point failure. We believe that the measurement study of the overlay network used in the real file-sharing P2P systems can provide guidance for the designing of such systems, and improve the performance of the system. …”

Collisionless Tearing Instability in Relativistic Nonthermal Pair Plasma and Its Application to MHD Turbulence by Ivan Demidov, Yuri Lyubarsky

“…When the current sheet is supported by plasma pressure, the tearing mode is suppressed as the particle spectrum hardens. In the force-free limit, the instability growth rate becomes independent of the particle spectrum. …”

Performance Optimization of Spin-Torque Microwave Detectors with Material and Operational Parameters by X. Li, Y. Zhou, Philip W. T. Pong

“…The study on the effect of magnetic field reveals that the driving force behind the performance tuning is the effective field and the equilibrium angle between the magnetization of the free layer and that of the reference layer. The material that offers the optimal tilt angle in reference-layer magnetization is determined. …”
