PABO: Mitigating Congestion via Packet Bounce in Data Center Networks
In today's data center, a diverse mix of throughput-sensitive long flows and
delay-sensitive short flows are commonly presented in shallow-buffered
switches. Long flows could potentially block the transmission of
delay-sensitive short flows, leading to degraded performance. Congestion can
also be caused by the synchronization of multiple TCP connections for short
flows, as typically seen in the partition/aggregate traffic pattern. While
multiple end-to-end transport-layer solutions have been proposed, none of them
have tackled the real challenge: reliable transmission in the network. In this
paper, we fill this gap by presenting PABO -- a novel link-layer design that
can mitigate congestion by temporarily bouncing packets to upstream switches.
PABO's design fulfills the following goals: i) providing per-flow based flow
control on the link layer, ii) handling transient congestion without the
intervention of end devices, and iii) gradually back propagating the congestion
signal to the source when the network is not capable to handle the
congestion.Experiment results show that PABO can provide prominent advantage of
mitigating transient congestions and can achieve significant gain on end-to-end
delay
A review of deep learning approach to predicting the state of health and state of charge of lithium-ion batteries
Palladium-catalyzed interannular meta-C–H arylation
The interannular meta-selective C–H arylation of biaryl-2-trifluoroacetamides using Pd(II)/norbornene catalysis is reported. The installation of a trifluoroacetyl protecting group to tune their electronic properties and binding ability is essential for interannular selectivity. A dimeric palladacycle, comprising two cyclopalladated trifluoroacetamino biaryl units linked through trifluoroacetamide, was isolated and confirmed to be the key intermediate. Furthermore, the resulting products could be further elaborated via ipso-alkynylation and/or directed intraannular ortho-C–H functionalization, allowing access to various fully functionalized biaryl-2-amine derivatives
Diagnosis and treatment of pericallosal artery aneurysms
Objective
Pericallosal artery aneurysms are not common clinically. The microsurgery and endovascular therapy are surgically challenging operations. The objective of the study is to summarize their clinical symptoms and optimal treatment strategies of pericallosal artery aneurysms.
Methods
Nine cases of pericallosal artery aneurysms detected by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were reviewed. The clinical manifestation, brain imaging characteristics, and optimal treatment methods were summarized.
Results
Patients with spontaneous aneurysm had good clinical outcomes after endovascular coiling or microsurgical clipping treatment. There were no any neurological function deficits in five patients. One patient suffered from permanent neurological function deficits. Patients with traumatic aneurysm pericallosal had relatively poor outcomes, including two patients showing disturbed consciousness and the paralysis of the lower limbs with slow recovery, and one patient was dead after the surgery.
Conclusion
Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage and interhemispheric fissure hematoma suggest spontaneously pericallosal aneurysm, while traumatic corpus callosum hematoma as well the accompanying embryo of intraventricular hemorrhage suggest traumatic pericallosal aneurysm. Endovascular embolization is the primary surgical treatment for pericallosal aneurysm, while patients with pericallosal aneurysm are not suitable for surgical treatment. Microsurgical clipping treatment may be a choice. However, both of these treatment strategies have high risk
Demonstration of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering with Enhanced Subchannel Discrimination
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering describes a quantum nonlocal
phenomenon in which one party can nonlocally affect the other's state through
local measurements. It reveals an additional concept of quantum nonlocality,
which stands between quantum entanglement and Bell nonlocality. Recently, a
quantum information task named as subchannel discrimination (SD) provides a
necessary and sufficient characterization of EPR steering. The success
probability of SD using steerable states is higher than using any unsteerable
states, even when they are entangled. However, the detailed construction of
such subchannels and the experimental realization of the corresponding task are
still technologically challenging. In this work, we designed a feasible
collection of subchannels for a quantum channel and experimentally demonstrated
the corresponding SD task where the probabilities of correct discrimination are
clearly enhanced by exploiting steerable states. Our results provide a concrete
example to operationally demonstrate EPR steering and shine a new light on the
potential application of EPR steering.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures, appendix include
A convenient tandem one-pot synthesis of donor-acceptor-type triphenylene 2,3-dicarboxylic esters from diarylacetylene
A tandem one-pot method for the direct synthesis of polysubstituted triphenylene 2,3-dicarboxylic esters with different substitution patterns was developed by enyne metathesis of diarylacetylene, followed by Diels–Alder, aromatization and a cyclization cascade
