IPv4 address sharing mechanism classification and tradeoff analysis

The growth of the Internet has made IPv4 addresses a scarce resource. Due to slow IPv6 deployment, IANA-level IPv4 address exhaustion was reached before the world could transition to an IPv6-only Internet. The continuing need for IPv4 reachability will only be supported by IPv4 address sharing. This paper reviews ISP-level address sharing mechanisms, which allow Internet service providers to connect multiple customers who share a single IPv4 address. Some mechanisms come with severe and unpredicted consequences, and all of them come with tradeoffs. We propose a novel classification, which we apply to existing mechanisms such as NAT444 and DS-Lite and proposals such as 4rd, MAP, etc. Our tradeoff analysis reveals insights into many problems including: abuse attribution, performance degradation, address and port usage efficiency, direct intercustomer communication, and availability

Serendipitous discoveries in microarray analysis

Background Scientists are capable of performing very large scale gene expression experiments with current microarray technologies. In order to find significance in the expression data, it is common to use clustering algorithms to group genes with similar expression patterns. Clusters will often contain related genes, such as co-regulated genes or genes in the same biological pathway. It is too expensive and time consuming to test all of the relationships found in large scale microarray experiments. There are many bioinformatics tools that can be used to infer the significance of microarray experiments and cluster analysis. Materials and methods In this project we review several existing tools and used a combination of them to narrow down the number of significant clusters from a microarray experiment. Microarray data was obtained through the Cerebellar Gene Regulation in Time and Space (Cb GRiTS) database [2]. The data was clustered using paraclique, a graph-based clustering algorithm. Each cluster was evaluated using Gene-Set Cohesion Analysis Tool (GCAT) [3], ONTO-Pathway Analysis [4], and Allen Brain Atlas data [1]. The clusters with the lowest p-values in each of the three analysis methods were researched to determine good candidate clusters for further experimental confirmation of gene relationships. Results and conclusion While looking for genes important to cerebellar development, we serendipitously came across interesting clusters related to neural diseases. For example, we found two clusters that contain genes known to be associated with Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease pathways. Both clusters scored low in all three analyses and have very similar expression patterns but at different expression levels. Such unexpected discoveries help unlock the real power of high throughput data analysis

The Keck Cosmic Web Imager: a capable new integral field spectrograph for the W. M. Keck Observatory

The Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI) is a new facility instrument being developed for the W. M. Keck Observatory and funded for construction by the Telescope System Instrumentation Program (TSIP) of the National Science Foundation (NSF). KCWI is a bench-mounted spectrograph for the Keck II right Nasmyth focal station, providing integral field spectroscopy over a seeing-limited field up to 20"x33" in extent. Selectable Volume Phase Holographic (VPH) gratings provide high efficiency and spectral resolution in the range of 1000 to 20000. The dual-beam design of KCWI passed a Preliminary Design Review in summer 2011. The detailed design of the KCWI blue channel (350 to 700 nm) is now nearly complete, with the red channel (530 to 1050 nm) planned for a phased implementation contingent upon additional funding. KCWI builds on the experience of the Caltech team in implementing the Cosmic Web Imager (CWI), in operation since 2009 at Palomar Observatory. KCWI adds considerable flexibility to the CWI design, and will take full advantage of the excellent seeing and dark sky above Mauna Kea with a selectable nod-and-shuffle observing mode. In this paper, models of the expected KCWI sensitivity and background subtraction capability are presented, along with a detailed description of the instrument design. The KCWI team is lead by Caltech (project management, design and implementation) in partnership with the University of California at Santa Cruz (camera optical and mechanical design) and the W. M. Keck Observatory (program oversight and observatory interfaces)

Future En Route Workstation Study (FEWS I) Part 1: Evaluation of Workstation and Traffic Level Effects

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has projected a significant increase in air traffic over the next two decades. Compared to current traffic levels, estimates vary from 133% by 2015 to an average of 3 times (3X) by 2025. To meet the increase in demand, the Joint Planning and Development Office and the FAA are preparing the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). Plans for NextGen include increased use of advanced technologies for communications, surveillance, navigation, and decision support, as well as a change in roles and responsibilities of air traffic controllers and pilots. This first Future En route Workstation Study has investigated increases in traffic levels and integration of automation functions on the controller working position. The controllers that participated in this study experienced traffic at current levels and at increased levels of 133% and 166% of current busy sectors. The participants worked these traffic levels using either a workstation that was similar to their current environment with the availability of Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) or a future concept environment that integrated several automation functions. The results indicate that when CPDLC and the additional future concepts were available, controllers could work 133% of current traffic levels (or 28 aircraft) at acceptable workload levels. When only Voice Communications were available, our workload measures indicated that several of the controllers experienced unacceptably high workload levels. At even heavier traffic volumes of 166% of current levels (or 35 aircraft), the bottleneck was no longer due to congestion of the voice channel but was likely due to the amount of information displayed on the ATC display
