   Bravo to the person who wrote about the exhorbitant airline
   charges for carrying your pet on board the plane with you.
   Sheesh, I'm going to have to shell out $100 for a round trip
   charge so I can bring Spanky home for christmas...heck I could
   get him his own seat for only $11 more! Sheesh!

Hello

Help for Network Design Algorithms and Methods!!!!

I am working on a project to design telecomunication networks. I found in the 
book "Data Networks " by Dimitri Bertsekas and Robert Gallagher (1987) the
description of the Capacity Assignment Problem. There are a formal Description
and a heuristic algorithm given.

Now I have a question. Do you know other papers or books which describe this
kind of problems (Design of Backbone - Network based on traffic matrices).
Also I would like to get in concact with people working in thies area to discuss
problems and questions.

My interests are specially in people working with operation research methods
and on the other side with artificial intelligence methods. My question is, 
how these two techniques can be used to design in a efficient way cost-effective
telecommunication networks.

I enjoy all the information you can provide me. Thanks a lot.

Stephan

Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1992 16:53:56 GMT


The following announcement appeared in the IEEE Grid.  We have a large
room, so please join us if you have an interest in the computing or
communications capabilities of the new SPARCstation10.


OEB/Communications/Computer Societies Joint Technical Meeting


Subject:      SPARC10: Marriage of Computer and Communications
Speaker:      Sun Microsystems
Time:         7:00 PM, Thursday, November 19th
Location:     Pacific Bell, 2600 Camino Ramon, San Ramon
              (Bollinger Cyn. Rd. Exit off I-680, East to Camino Ramon)
Reservations: Mark Strauch, (510)422-1469 or strauch1@llnl.gov





SPARC10: Marriage of Computer and Communications

The Oakland/East Bay Communication and Computer Societies will jointly feature 
a talk by Sun Microsystem representatives that will focus on the new SPARC10
line of workstations. 

The SPARC10 is one of the latest generation of high performance workstations 
that incorporate advanced communication features. In addition to the traditional
Ethernet port, the SPARC10 has built-in Integrated Services Digital Network 
(ISDN) connectivity. ISDN is the emerging telecommunication standard being
embraced world-wide. Pacific Bell has been active in this area, both in 
developing an ISDN applications laboratory as well as planned upgrades to 
ISDN-capable public switches.

Sun representatives will cover both the computer aspects of the SPARC10 as 
well as  addressing the ISDN capabilities.  This presentation coincides with 
the nation-wide ISDN demonstration `TRIP 92' being held the week of November 
16th.  The meeting will be held November 19th, at 7:00 p.m., at Pacific Bell
in San Ramon.  The attendance will be limited, so reserve early.  Please 
contact Mark Strauch at 510-422-1469 or strauch1@llnl.gov.

     I am replying to your articles about the production of H2
and storage for vehicle use.  I did a paper last year on
alternative fuels and all of my sources agreed on the fact that
using H2 to power cars efficiently will not be practical for at
least ten years.  I wouldn't mind proving them wrong.  Other
major fuels that were covered were electricity, methanol,
propane, gasohol and other reformulated gases, and hydrogen.  In
some states such as California, the government is requiring that
all major car companies sell at least two percent-I think- of all
of their cars that have zero emissions.  So far electricity is
the only option within a few years, but electric cars are so
limited.  Not everyone wants to drive a golf cart to work.  As
you have previously discussed, storage and production are the
biggest problems with hydrogen.  Running engines on it is no
problem, if you know how to set up an engine for it.  If it were
possible to make a high voltage or current output generator that
used very little power to turn, then possibly the hydrogen could
be produced for the engine as it is used.  Then the cars would
just have to fill up with water.  Also there is a catalyst that
can be added to water to cause it to separate faster when using
electrolysis, but I'm not sure what it is and how efficient it
is.  I would be interested to here what you have to say so write
back.

Hello my name is Adam Clark from Bonners Ferry, Idaho. I'm
wondering how a CD (Compact Disc) is made and used. I have
several cd's myself, so that's why I'm asking anybody who
understands them better me.
This is what I know about cd's. You carefully handle them so
they won't get scratched. If you scratch them, they will skip
like a record. While you play the cd, some laser inside scans
the bottom of the cd and plays whatever is on it. I also know
that cd's are not just used for listening to music. They have new
systems called CD ROM'S, which I know nothing about. If you have
any other information on CD'S and CD ROM'S, please send a
message back to me. Thank you.

As an almost perfect speller, it pains me when people assume that there
is some special value in being able to spell.  I have never put any
effort into it: I just KNOW how to sling those letters together.  I
suspect it is something to do with the way(s) we perceive patterns:
don't ever ask me to identify a make of car, because I can't.
OTOH, my wife is a science graduate who spells well in English, but is
just about dyslexic in Italian: I think it is something to do with the
way she tries to force the letters into a pattern. Forget spelling: your

Jon, if you have students who can manage Godel, Escher and Bach (by Douglas Hofstadter) they might enjoy two other books by him: The Mind's I with William Dennet--this is also about artificial intelligence and is a mix of science and sci-fi. Also Metamagical Themas--a collection of his articles for Scientific American.
For balance on this topic I would also reccomend The Emperors New Mind by Roger Penrose who is on the other side of the issue.

Good luck, looking forward to seeing your list,

This "satellite" would not go in a curved orbit. It would just oscillate.
Unless the direction of motion is along the axis of rotation of the earth,
the satellite will run into the walls of the hole due to the Earth's
rotation.

When the satellite is always outside the Earth and the Earth is approximated
as spherically symmetrical, all the mass can be assumed to be concentrated
at the center and the usual simple solution obtains.

If the satellite isn't always outside the earth but goes through the center
and thus oscillates in a straight line, the motion can be calculated by
calculus in a straightforward way but depends on the density of the Earth
as a function of distance from the center, which is far from constant. We
can still assume the Earth to be approximately spherically symmetrical.

Ask your teacher what assumptions to make regarding the density distribution
of the Earth. Without it, you can not solve the problem.

        I am writing to you beacause I would like to comment on
your message about why animals should or should'nt be kept in
zoos.  I will start by saying that there are reasons for keeping
them in zoos and reasons for letting them be free.  We put
animals in zoos to protect them from the harm of humans.  If we let
all animals be free them there would be a lot more extinct
animals.  Humans would kill them for their fur or for money.  We
also have to remember that many animals can protect themselves.
Letting them be free may put them at risk, but for the most part
they can live happily the way they want.  They can hunt for
their own food and care for their young.  We only want what is
best for the animals.  Putting them in zoos means keeping them
protected.  If you have any comments on this matter please send
me a message.  I would like to answer any questions you may
have, and I would like to hear what you have to say.  Thank you
for your time.

Hello! My name is Aaron Evans. I am a sophomore at Bonners Ferry
High School in Northern Idaho. I would like to learn all I can
about cryogenics. All I already know is that people have
been freezing their relatives and themselves with the hope that
scientists will some day be able to unfreeze their body and bring them
back to life. I think this is a very weird process and would
appreciate any information that anyone could give to me. If
anyone else is interested in the subject but does not know
anything about it, feel free to join in the conversation.
Information that would be nice to find out would be the cost of
freezing a person; if it effects the decomposition of the body;
if the science industry has ever tried to unfreeze a living
object,and if so what were the results; what the process of
freezing a person involves; or even if anyone knows a person
that has been frozen (Pardon the crude term.).
 
                                Thank you for your help.

     As a high school senior, I am aware of and interested in the
environment, but sometimes I wonder if everything I read and hear
about is accurate.  This summer I went to Boise for American
Legion Boys State where one of the speakers stated that there are
scientists that have different viewpoints on the environment and
such issues as global warming and ozone depletion.  The speaker
mentioned the name of Dixie Lee Ray.  I also just read that 46
atmospheric scientists and meteorologists signed a statement
opposing the theory that global warming is hurting mankind.  Once
again the name of Dixie Lee Ray was stated.  Also D.H. Read
McGrath who has been a meteorologist for over 50 years stated
"Every day for almost a century, temperatures taken by 68,716
deep atmospheric soundings have been recorded.  Their data shows
that there is no evidence whatsoever that the earth is warming or
cooling.  The story being spread to the American people about
global warming is like the fairy tales of Aesop, Hans Christian
Anderson and the Brothers Grimm."  I was wondering if anyone knew
