The Mandate Of Making Disciples: Teaching As Incarnational Ministry
Authors: Quashie John Abedu
Published: June 2020

This paper discusses how the Church can achieve the goal of discipleship through an “incarnational” model of teaching. It argues that teaching in the Church should be incarnational so as to realize transformation in the lives of people. Incarnation is used in the sense of the word of God which the Christian leader has been commanded to teach, becomes flesh and makes a dwelling among the people so that the learner can behold the glory of the word being lived out in human life. The Pastoral ministry must engage in teaching so that learners can become new creations who demonstrate the nature of Christ. In discipleship, the pastor acts as the teacher of teachers, equipping the laity so that they can teach others. Teaching, a key aspect in Christian education, is at the heart of discipleship. As such, for the teaching ministry to be incarnate, it must identify with Jesus Christ. What is preached and taught must become flesh in the teacher’s own life and help the learner to behold the glory of Jesus the Christ.

A Study on Factors Influencing the Career Choices of Students in Senior High Schools in Ghana: The Case of SHS Students in the Abuakwa South Municipality
Authors: Adinkrah Bernard , Ayarkwah Charles
Published: June 2020

The issue of career selection plays an important role in the success of every
individual. With the ascendency of youth unemployment in Ghana, this study
seeks to investigate the career choices of students in Senior High Schools (SHS)
in Ghana. The study focused on SHS students in the Abuakwa South Municipality
in the Eastern Region of Ghana. Using a quantitative approach, questionnaires
were distributed to 322 SHS students in four different schools in the area to gather
data on how they plan on choosing future careers and the factors that influence
their choices. The study also examined the temperament type self-concept theory
and the impact on choosing a career. The findings of the study indicated that
students consult all relevant persons including counsellors to enable them choose
their perceived careers. Also, factors such as personal ambitions in life, academic
standards, the possibility of getting jobs after school and level of job security
influenced the career choice of students. The study recommended that planning
should be done by following the career planning process carefully. The process
requires students to plan their careers by consulting all relevant persons including
the counsellor.

CAN MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS ASSOCIATED WITH TEXT MINING FROM INTERNET DATA IMPROVE HOUSING PRICE PREDICTION PERFORMANCE?
Authors: Guo Jian-qiang , Chiang Shu-hen , Liu Min , Yang Chi-Chun , Guo Kai-yi
Published: June 2020

Housing frenzies in China have attracted widespread global attention over the past few years, but the key is how to more accurately forecast housing prices in order to establish an effective real estate policy. Based on the ubiquitousness and immediacy of Internet data, this research adopts a broader version of text mining to search for keywords in relation to housing prices and then evaluates the predictive abilities using machine learning algorithms. Our findings indicate that this new method, especially random forest, not only detects turning points, but also offers prediction ability that clearly outperforms traditional regression analysis. Overall, the prediction based on online search data through a machine learning mechanism helps us better understand the trends of house prices in China.

We study the evolution of the temporal properties of MAXI J1820+070 during the 2018 outburst in its hard state from MJD 58,190 to 58,289 with Insight-HXMT in a broad energy band 1–150 keV. We find different behaviors of the hardness ratio, the fractional rms and time lag before and after MJD 58,257, suggesting a transition occurred around this point. The observed time lags between the soft photons in the 1–5 keV band and the hard photons in higher energy bands, up to 150 keV, are frequency-dependent: the time lags in the low-frequency range, 2–10 mHz, are both soft and hard lags with a timescale of dozens of seconds but without a clear trend along the outburst; the time lags in the high-frequency range, 1–10 Hz, are only hard lags with a timescale of tens of milliseconds; they first increase until around MJD 58,257 and decrease after this date. The high-frequency time lags are significantly correlated to the photon index derived from the fit to the quasi-simultaneous NICER spectrum in the 1–10 keV band. This result is qualitatively consistent with a model in which the high-frequency time lags are produced by Comptonization in a jet.
Coproduction of Light and Heavy r-process Elements via Fission Deposition
Authors: Vassh Nicole , Mumpower Matthew R. , McLaughlin Gail C. , Sprouse Trevor M. , Surman Rebecca
Published: June 2020

We apply for the first time fission yields determined across the chart of nuclides from the macroscopic-microscopic theory of the Finite Range Liquid Drop Model to simulations of rapid neutron capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis. With the fission rates and yields derived within the same theoretical framework utilized for other relevant nuclear data, our results represent an important step toward self-consistent applications of macroscopic-microscopic models in r-process calculations. The yields from this model are wide for nuclei with extreme neutron excess. We show that these wide distributions of neutron-rich nuclei, and particularly the asymmetric yields for key species that fission at late times in the r process, can contribute significantly to the abundances of the lighter heavy elements, specifically the light precious metals palladium and silver. Since these asymmetric yields correspondingly also deposit into the lanthanide region, we consider the possible evidence for coproduction by comparing our nucleosynthesis results directly with the trends in the elemental ratios of metal-poor stars rich in r-process material. We show that for r-process enhanced stars palladium over europium and silver over europium display mostly flat trends suggestive of coproduction and compare to the lanthanum over europium trend which is often used to justify robustness arguments in the lanthanide region. We find that such robustness arguments may be extendable down to palladium and heavier and demonstrate that fission deposition is a mechanism by which such a universality or robustness can be achieved.
Tracking the Evolutionary Stage of Protostars through the Abundances of Astrophysical Ices
Authors: Rocha W. R. M. , Pilling S.
Published: June 2020

The physical evolution of young stellar objects (YSOs) is accompanied by an enrichment of the molecular complexity, mainly triggered by the heating and energetic processing of astrophysical ices. In this paper, a study of how the ice column density varies across the protostellar evolution has been performed. Tabulated data of H2O, CO2, CH3OH, and HCOOH observed by ground- and space-based telescopes toward 27 early-stage YSOs were taken from the literature. The observational data show that ice column density and spectral index (α), used to classify the evolutionary stage, are well correlated. A 2D continuum radiative transfer simulation containing bare and ice-covered grains at different levels of cosmic-ray processing were used to calculate the spectral energy distributions in different angle inclinations between face-on and edge-on configurations. The H2O:CO2 ice mixture was used to address the H2O and CO2 column density variation, whereas CH3OH and HCOOH are by-products of the virgin ice after energetic processing. The simulated spectra were used to calculate the ice column densities of YSOs in an evolutionary sequence. As a result, the models show that the ice column density variation of HCOOH with α can be justified by envelope dissipation and energetic processing of ice. On the other hand, the ice column densities are mostly overestimated in the cases of H2O, CO2 and CH3OH, even though the physical and cosmic-ray processing effects are taken into account.

While many studies have shown a correlation between properties of the light curves of SNe Ia and properties of their host galaxies, it remains unclear what is driving these correlations. We introduce a new direct method to study these correlations by analyzing “parent” galaxies that host multiple SNe Ia “siblings.” Here, we search the Dark Energy Survey SN sample, one of the largest samples of discovered SNe, and find eight galaxies that hosted two likely SNe Ia. Comparing the light-curve properties of these SNe and recovered distances from the light curves, we find no better agreement between properties of SNe in the same galaxy as any random pair of galaxies, with the exception of the SN light-curve stretch. We show at 2.8σ significance that at least one-half of the intrinsic scatter of SNe Ia distance modulus residuals is not from common host properties. We also discuss the robustness with which we could make this evaluation with LSST, which will find 100× more pairs of galaxies, and pave a new line of study on the consistency of SNe Ia in the same parent galaxies. Finally, we argue that it is unlikely that some of these SNe are actually single, lensed SN with multiple images.
Constraints on Compact Dark Matter with Fast Radio Burst Observations
Authors: Liao Kai , Zhang S.-B. , Li Zhengxiang , Gao He
Published: June 2020

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright radio transients with millisecond duration at cosmological distances. Since compact dark matter/objects (COs) could act as lenses and cause splitting of these kinds of very short duration signals, Muñoz et al. have proposed a novel method to probe COs with lensing of FRBs. In this Letter, we for the first time apply this method to real data and give constraints of the nature of COs with currently available FRB observations. We emphasize that the information from dynamic spectra of FRBs is quite necessary for identifying any lensed signals and find no echoes in the existing data. The null search gives a constraint comparable to that from galactic wide binaries, though the methods of redshift inference from the dispersion measure would impact a little. Furthermore, we make an improved forecast based on the distributions of real data for the ongoing and upcoming telescopes. Finally, we discuss the situation where one or more lensed signals will be detected. In such a case, the parameter space of COs can be pinned down very well since the lens mass can be directly determined through the observed flux ratio and time delay between split images.
HPV: Injecting Truth into the Vaccine and Making Effective Recommendations
Authors: Liu Amy
Published: June 2020

Human papillomavirus (HPV) immunization rates are significantly below the Healthy People 2020 target of 80% and lag behind other adolescent vaccines that are given at the same time. There is no top reason for parents' lack of HPV initiation, and many concerns could be addressed by talking to a health care provider. This article aims to equip clinicians with information regarding the impa-cts of HPV, address vaccine concerns, and guide clinicians with best practices regarding effective vaccine recommendations.

Proteinuria in Children
Authors: Ranch Daniel
Published: June 2020

Although the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) removed the screening urinalysis from its health supervision guidelines in 2007, the use of the urinalysis remains an important part of pediatric care. Thus, the incidental finding of proteinuria is still commonplace when a urine sample is collected for various complaints, such as fever and abdominal pain. Knowing when to reassure a patient with proteinuria versus when to perform additional testing is a situation that general practitioners face regularly, but also one that not all may be comfortable dealing with due to the possibility of missing a diagnosis. In addition, proteinuria in certain conditions can signify renal disease and worse outcomes, so general practitioners should know how to screen and interpret the results. Understanding the common benign and pathological causes of proteinuria helps medical providers to better inform and treat their patients, and possibly avoid unnecessary additional testing or subspecialty referrals.

Jean-André Deluc (1727-1817) et la montagne comme objet d’étude et norme éthique
Authors: Kraus Sabine
Published: June 2020

Les montagnes ont longtemps été considérées comme des monuments terribles du sacrilège humain. Une transformation de cette perception s’opère dans le milieu intellectuel protestant britannique au xviie siècle. Les montagnes apparaissent alors comme un ouvrage d’art animant un sentiment de beauté. Issu d’une famille calviniste genevoise, Jean-André Deluc et son frère Guillaume-Antoine font partie des premiers savants à explorer les Alpes. Jouissant d’une grande renommée de son vivant, Deluc a été longtemps discrédité, car il cherchait à concilier ses travaux scientifiques avec la Genèse. Le résultat de vingt ans d’explorations météorologiques en haute montagne est publié dans Recherches sur les modifications de l’atmosphère. C’est un recueil d’observations de terrain et d’expériences empiriques, afin de perfectionner les instruments et les méthodes d’investigation dans les mesures altimétriques. Ce recueil nous révèle aussi tout un versant d’études anthropologiques sur le genre de vie des habitants des montagnes, sur le savoir-faire des artisans. Les travaux de Deluc exercèrent une grande influence sur Horace-Bénédict de Saussure et Georges Cuvier.
Le récit guerrier en montagne dans la fiction littéraire européenne (1780-1850)
Authors: Bergès Louis
Published: June 2020

La quête du sublime et de l’émotion artistique et littéraire dans le paysage de montagne fait partie de la formation aujourd’hui bien connue de l’écrivain romantique français de Rousseau à George Sand. De l’expression de l’infini et de l’harmonie, la perception romantique est aussi passée par celle des vestiges terribles de la violence de la Nature. De là peut découler une représentation guerrière intégrée du paysage et de ses habitants. Il est proposé d’analyser ici ce processus de construction littéraire à partir de l’écriture romantique française d’une montagne à la fois visitée et rêvée. Récits de voyage, poésies et romans de Rousseau à George Sand seront interrogés au regard de modèles et de schémas hérités ou cultivés ; la représentation du guerrier montagnard est au cœur de l’esthétique littéraire de cette période : Suisses, Bavarois, Monténégrins, Basques et Caucasiens, Druses et Maronites, sont mis en scène pour caractériser l’identité collective des peuples de montagne. Au-delà du sublime, la recherche de l’écrivain romantique est aussi celle du pittoresque : le guerrier est enraciné dans sa terre et ses traditions qui constituent un inépuisable décor.
Analyse du discours de la circulation en montagne : l’influence de John Ruskin sur la géographie alpine (1858)
Authors: Ounoughi Samia
Published: June 2020

Cet article est une analyse interdisciplinaire (analyse du discours, anglistique, géographie, histoire) de Letters from the Continent (1858) de John Ruskin (1819-1900) et vise à montrer la contribution de cette figure influente du xixe siècle sur notre mode d’appréhension de la géographie des Alpes. La déconstruction des canons du genre épistolaire et les conditions qu’il s’impose pour circuler dans les Alpes dans un isolement unilatéral lui permettent de conditionner son regard sur la montagne et de critiquer les représentations qui en sont faites, notamment celles de William Turner dont il suit les traces pendant cinq mois en 1858. Il met ainsi au jour le rôle de l’écriture de voyage autant que de la peinture de paysage dans la production du savoir sur la montagne.
La représentation de la montagne corse dans la littérature du xxie siècle
Authors: Bertoncini Pierre
Published: June 2020

La Corse vient d’obtenir le statut officiel d’« île Montagne ». Cela apparaît comme la traduction politique de la formule de Friedrich Ratzel qualifiant cet espace de « montagne dans la mer ». La société corse a néanmoins connu des transformations profondes entre la rédaction de ces deux textes. Afin de les mesurer, nous analyserons, avec des outils fournis par l’anthropologie et la géographie, la représentation de la montagne corse dans la littérature au xxie siècle. Au cours d’une étude sur Le Sermon sur la chute de Rome de Jérôme Ferrari est apparu comment l’écrivain utilisait un vocabulaire emprunté à la géographie. La ville située sur le littoral y est présentée comme l’opposé du village situé quant à lui dans la montagne. Cela reprend le stéréotype comprenant le village comme lieu de l’authenticité. On relira l’œuvre de J. Ferrari que l’on comparera à celles de Marcu Biancarelli et mettra en perspective avec celle, plus ancienne, de Marie Susini afin de montrer comment ces auteurs mettent en scène les mutations rencontrées par le fait montagnard.
Une ré-Vision du Pyrénéisme pour le xxie siècle
Authors: Rocher Gonzalez Manel , Molinier Claude
Published: June 2020

Le Pyrénéisme est un mouvement culturel et sportif. Dans les faits, c’est un recueil de grands concepts tels que la philosophie, la recherche, l’art, l’exploration, la littérature, la culture, l’aventure, le sport, la science, qui se combinent parfaitement pour définir le flux de personnes qui, au xixe siècle, part à la découverte et à la conquête des Pyrénées, afin de profiter de la richesse de la culture et des paysages qui leur sont offerts. Au cours du xxe siècle, ce mouvement tombe en décadence : le mot alpinisme s’impose comme la définition du sport pratiqué en montagne, alors que la maxime d’Henri Beraldi, « marcher, sentir, écrire » était toujours présente à l’esprit des montagnards pyrénéens. Face aux défis du xxie siècle, il est nécessaire de proposer une « ré-Vision » du Pyrénéisme, comme mouvement lié à la société pyrénéenne. Le Pyrénéisme, au lieu d’être un mouvement de « visiteurs des Pyrénées », doit devenir un mouvement des « habitants des Pyrénées ». Le xxie siècle, avec tous ses progrès, peut transformer notre chaîne de montagnes en une des sociétés les plus avancées au monde. Il est seulement nécessaire que ses habitants croient dans cette « ré-Vision ». Pour cela, nous proposons de présenter la candidature du Pyrénéisme à l’inscription sur la liste du Patrimoine Culturel Immatériel de l’Humanité de l’Unesco.
FFBPNN-BASED HIGH DROWSINESS CLASSIFICATION USING EMG AND WPT
Authors: Wali Mousa Kadhim
Published: June 2020

The detection of drowsiness level is important because it is the main reason for fatal road accidents. Electromyography of the upper arm and shoulder is an important physiological signal affected by drivers’ drowsiness, in which its amplitude level and frequency band of the sleep-deprived case are different than those of the alert state. Therefore depending on electromyography (EMG), its drowsiness frequency (80–100[Formula: see text]Hz) was detected in order to determine high drowsiness state based on wavelet packet transform (WPT) which decomposes the EMG signal into its approximation and detail coefficients up to level 4 using db2, db7, sym5 and coif5 wavelets. In this research after extraction, the two higher order statistical features, kurtosis and skewness, are computed from 3[Formula: see text]s window of the three EMG channels, and analysis of variance test is used to check whether their mean values are different for the different classes as both [Formula: see text]-values are less than 0.005 under db2 wavelet. Therefore, they were supplied to feed forward back propagation neural network (FFBPNN) as this type of neural network is used for distinguishing and classification purposes for different objects. They obtained an accuracy of 75% for detecting high levels among other levels of normal and low drowsiness with an average sensitivity of 78.63% and specificity of 75.97% because the spectrum of the EMG alert (non-drowsiness) signal of 80–100 Hz is different from that of drowsy 80–90[Formula: see text]Hz and high drowsy 78–95[Formula: see text]Hz signals.

Published: June 2020

Natural clays, engineered Ag-nanoparticles (NP), TiO2-NP, and exhausted coffee grounds were used to synthesize a nanocomposite 7NC using a Vertisol soil through a single-step by thermal method, to build a nanomaterial to degrade or filtrate pollutants from soils, water or air. The surface characteristics and the porosity of the composite were studied through nitrogen gas adsorption at liquid nitrogen temperature and application of the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) equation and the results indicated that the microporous composites ranged a surface area of 17.36 m2 g-1. X-ray diffraction showed crystalline structure and crystalline phase of the nanocomposites. HR-TEM-STEM results demonstrated that TiO2-NP surrounded Ag-NP, and both were impregnated on natural soil nanoparticles. Oxidation states of the Ag-NP and TiO2-NP were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) The energy gap of nanocomposite 7NC was determined using the Kubelka-Munck model from Ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance (UV–Visible DRS) spectra. The photocatalytic activity of these nanocomposites was evaluated, and the results indicated that nanocomposite with Vertisol-soil-NP (7NC) degraded the harmful organic compound methylene blue (MB) while the antimicrobial activity and resistance against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and the zone of inhibition (ZOI) also were analyzed. The nanocomposites Ag-NP/TiO2-NP/natural-soil-NP/exhausted coffee-ground showed its for the development of an efficient material for environmental remediation with photocatalytic and antimicrobial activity.
Production of Reduced Al Nanoparticles from Al Oxide by Applying High Voltage Pulses to Solutions
Authors: Saiki Taku , Taniguchi Seiji
Published: June 2020

Metal nanoparticles have become attractive as original materials for nano-inks and nano-pastes, which are used in printed electronics. Synthesizing various metal nanoparticles has been researched. We investigated the possibility of reducing metal oxide in a metal by using high-voltage pulses in this paper. This method should save electrical consumption power compared with conventional methods that use high-temperature and high-pressure plasma such as arc discharge. Reduced Al nanoparticles were obtained by applying high-voltage pulses to solutions. By analyzing elements and the composition of reduced Al nanoparticles by STEM and EDX, a large amount of reduced Al nanoparticles with diameters of a few 100 nm and thin oxide film of around 1 nm on metal surfaces were produced in experiments for reducing Al oxide. It was found from hydrogen generation using reduced Al nanoparticles by applying high-voltage pulses to solutions to evaluate reduction rate that a high reduction efficiency of 97% was obtained at maximum. We concluded that using high-voltage pulses for reduction can be suitably applied to printed electronics because the oxide film on reduced Al nanoparticles is thin. Also, because this method is similar to laser ablation in liquids using pulse lasers, the similarities were discussed in this paper.

Published: June 2020

Neurological manifestations in patients with COVID–19 are more frequently being reported. Cerebrovascular events have been reported in around 3% of patients. In this review we summarize the published literature on cerebrovascular events in patients with COVID-19 as available on the PubMed database. So far, 3 studies have reported cerebrovascular events. Cerebrovascular events were identified on screening patients with decreased consciousness or in the presence of focal neurological deficits. These events were common in elderly, critically ill patients and in patients with prior cardio-cerebrovascular comorbidities. The diagnosis of cerebrovascular events was confirmed with computed tomography of the brain in most studies reporting neurological events. Multiple pathological mechanisms have been postulated regarding the process of neurological and vascular injury among which cytokine storm is shown to correlate with mortality. Patients with severe illness are found to have a higher cardio- cerebrovascular comorbidity. With an increasing number of cases and future prospective studies, the exact mechanism by which these cerebrovascular events occur and attribute to the poor outcome will be better understood.
Interpretation of lineaments and faults near Summerville, South Carolina, USA, using LiDAR data: implications for the cause of the 1886 Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake
Authors: Marple Ronald T. , Hurd, Jr. James D.
Published: June 2020

LiDAR (light detection and ranging) data acquired near Summerville, South Carolina, reveal numerous lineaments trending in various directions across the Middleton Place-Summerville seismic zone (MPSSZ) and surrounding area. These lineaments are defined by linear depressions and stream valleys that are developed within late Eocene to Holocene marine, marginal marine, and fluvial sediments of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The 40-kmlong, ENE-WSW-oriented Deer Park lineament coincides with the Woodstock epicenter of the 1886 Charleston earthquake, suggesting that the main shock may have occurred along a fault associated with this lineament. The proximity of the 17-km-long, ENE-WSW-oriented Middleton Place lineament to the Middleton Place epicenter suggests that it too may have ruptured in 1886. Several E-W-oriented topographic scarps are also located near the area of modern seismicity, including the 3- to 5-km-long, south-facing McChune and Summerwood scarps. The McChune scarp is aligned with the E-W-trending portion of the Summerville scarp to the west, suggesting that both scarps may be from uplift to the north along the same fault. The McChune scarp and the Otranto and Middleton Place lineaments coincide with faults interpreted from previously acquired seismic-reflection profiles, suggesting that these features are surface expressions of Quaternary faults. Other lineaments east of the MPSSZ are associated with Neogene structural domes, indicating that the interpreted faults along these lineaments have been active during the late Cenozoic. The LiDAR data also revealed a ~350-m dextral offset of a middle Pleistocene beach ridge along the Woodstock fault and a ~20-km-long, NW-SE-oriented lineament to the east (Canterhilllineament) that appears to be the surface expression of the Charleston fault.
Alethopteris and Neuralethopteris from the lower Westphalian (Middle Pennsylvanian) of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Maritime Provinces, Canada
Authors: Álvarez-Vázquez Carmen
Published: June 2020

A systematic revision of Alethopteris and Neuralethopteris from upper Namurian and lower Westphalian (Middle Pennsylvanian) strata of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, eastern Canada, has demonstrated the presence of eight species: Alethopteris bertrandii, Alethopteris decurrens, Alethopteris cf. havlenae, Alethopteris urophylla, Alethopteris cf. valida, Neuralethopteris pocahontas, Neuralethopteris schlehanii and Neuralethopteris smithsii. Restudy of the Canadian material has led to new illustrations, observations and refined descriptions of these species. Detailed synonymies focus on records from Canada and the United States. As with other groups reviewed in earlier articles in this series, it is clear that insufficient attention has been paid to material reposited in Canadian institutions in the European literature. The present study emphasizes the similarity of the North American flora with that of western Europe, especially through the synonymies.

An intelligent peer-to-peer streaming model for minimizing flash crown
Authors: Ojo O.E. , Olorunfemi T.O. , Folorunso O. , Omoijuanfo C.
Published: June 2020

Peer-to-peer streaming systems (P2PSS) have become well deployed over the Internet in recent times due to its robustness, scalability, distributive nature and cost effectiveness. It is not un-common that peers arrive on the system in large numbers at a particular time in order to retrieve multimedia files. The large spike in the number of peers arriving at a time can be referred to as flash crowd. Several methods have been proposed, models have been designed aiming at providing solution to the problem. This paper attempts to alleviate flash crowd that may occur in the system using a fuzzy logic control system. Inputs were created and fuzzified, rules were developed and then the outputs were defuzzified. Analysis of the results derived from the MATLAB simulation reveal that under a flash crowd scenario, our fuzzy logic controller functions appropriately by the detecting flash crowd when it is about to occur and then necessary actions are taken. Also, with the fuzzy logic control system peer access in and out of the system is successfully controlled. The system allows for new peers to connect more with high bandwidth peers aiming at making the upload rate of each parent proportional to its upload bandwidth thereby utilizing the limited bandwidth resources of the entire P2P system more effectively.Keywords: Peer-to-peer networks, video streaming and flash crowdVol. 26, No. 1, June, 2019
