description: Note on Helix godetiana KOBELT, 1878
 Since its description, this enigmatic species from the Central Aegean has been assigned to the genus Helix. A reassessment of the shell characters showed that this species has an extraordinarily large and dome-shaped protoconch, which is not seen in any species of Helix as defined here in this revision, but typical for Maltzanella HESSE, 1917. The other two species currently affiliated with Maltzanella, Maltzanella maltzani (KOBELT, 1883) and Maltzanella dickhauti (KOBELT, 1903) are small-range endemics living in the western part of Turkey (Schütt 1976).
 Quite recently, Psonis & al. (2014) showed in their analysis of dark-mouthed Helix species from Greece that this species branches off in a basal position opposite to all Helix species. In their recent molecular analysis of the genus Helix and related genera, Korábek & al. (submitted) found the genus Maltzanella to be close but clearly separated from Helix. For these reasons, Helix godetiana KOBELT, 1878 is excluded from Helix, and affiliated to Maltzanella.

description: The October 1983 invasion of Grenada by a final total of approximately 6,000 U.S. marines, paratroopers, and Rangers, supported by heavy artillery, tanks, and the most sophisticated weaponry, occurred in the context of social and politcal history. It was in a direct line of continuity with the more disturbing aspects of that history. It, simultaneously, marked an important turning point. To the extent it added another to the more than 135 direct U.S. military interventions in the Caribbean and Latin America over the last century, it represented no more, and no less than "business as usual."

A structural role for lipids in coupling ligand binding to channel gating in a neurotransmitter receptor
Creators: name: DaCosta, Corrie J. B

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Biophysics, General.

description: A simple structure-based mechanism explaining how membrane lipid composition influences the ability of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) to convert agonist binding into opening of its transmembrane ion channel is proposed. This mechanism is based both on a recent atomic model of the nAChR, as well as extensive characterization of affinity purified nAChRs reconstituted into a number of different model membranes. Biophysical characterization of the nAChR upon reconstitution into membranes of defined lipid composition identifies the receptor's specific lipid requirements, and highlights the structural consequences of its reconstitution into membranes lacking these essential lipids. Infrared measurements show that while membrane lipid composition has no effect on nAChR secondary structure, it influences the ability of the nAChR to undergo agonist induced conformational change. In the absence of specific lipids the nAChR appears locked in a non-conducting conformation in which the binding of agonist fails to trigger a response. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange studies show that these non-functional nAChRs also exhibit increased 1H/2H exchange kinetics, while thermal denaturation data shows that they display reduced thermal stability. Interpreted in light of the new nAChR atomic model (PDB ID: 2BG9), these data provide insight into the lipid-dependent structural rearrangements resulting in an uncoupling of the nAChR's ligand binding and channel gating functions.

description: Neural network models are used to reveal the nonlinear winter atmospheric teleconnection patterns associated with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and with the Arctic Oscillation (AO) over the N. Hemisphere. The nonlinear teleconnections (for surface air temperature, precipitation, sea level pressure and 500 hPa geopotential height) are found to relate quadratically to the ENSO and AO indices. Relative to linear teleconnections, nonlinear teleconections appear to propagate perturbations farther, into regions where classical linear teleconnections are insignificant.

description: Background: The cost-effectiveness acceptability curve (CEAC) is a method for summarizing the uncertainty in estimates of cost-effectiveness. The CEAC, derived from the joint distribution of costs and effects, illustrates the (Bayesian) probability that the data are consistent with a true cost-effectiveness ratio falling below a specified ceiling ratio. The objective of the paper is to illustrate how to construct and interpret a CEAC. Methods A retrospective cost-effectiveness analysis of the Atrial Fibrillation Follow-up Investigation of Rhythm Management (AFFIRM) randomized controlled trial with 4060 patients followed for 3.5 years. The target population was patients with atrial fibrillation who were 65 years of age or had other risk factors for stroke or death similar to those enrolled in AFFIRM. The intervention involved the management of patients with atrial fibrillation with antiarrhythmic drugs (rhythm-control) compared with drugs that control heart rate (rate-control). Measurements of mean survival, mean costs and incremental cost-effectiveness were made. The uncertainty surrounding the estimates of cost-effectiveness was illustrated through a cost-effectiveness acceptability curve. Results The base case point estimate for the difference in effects and costs between rate and rhythm-control is 0.08 years (95% CI: -0.1 years to 0.24 years) and -US$5,077 (95% CI: -$1,100 to -$11,006). The CEAC shows that the decision uncertainty surrounding the adoption of rate-control strategies is less than 1.7% regardless of the maximum acceptable ceiling ratio. Thus, there is very little uncertainty surrounding the decision to adopt rate-control compared to rhythm-control for patients with atrial fibrillation from a resource point of view. Conclusion The CEAC is straightforward to calculate, construct and interpret. The CEAC is useful to a decision maker faced with the choice of whether or not to adopt a technology because it provides a measure of the decision uncertainty surrounding the choice.

On the processing of thematic features in deverbal nominals
Creators: name: Manouilidou, Christina
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Language, Linguistics.

description: The primary motivation for the research reported in the present dissertation was to investigate the status of thematic features (TFs) in deverbal nominals (DNs) in Modern Greek. The investigation addressed two independent issues with respect to TFs of DNs. The first was whether the processing of TFs of DNs constitutes a necessary step in accessing their mental representation. The second concerned the status of thematic constraints in deverbal word formation. Three on-line lexical decision tasks and one off-line grammaticality judgment task were carried out. The stimuli for these tasks included deverbal nouns, deverbal adjectives and pseudo-words violating thematic constraints. The findings showed that TFs appear to increase processing load only for those DNs with an increased eventive character (e.g. plysimo 'washing', kallymenos 'covered'), with a decomposition access route possibly playing a facilitatory role. In contrast, TFs do not appear to affect processing in the case of DNs with a diminished 'verb-like' character (e.g. conqueror). Furthermore, lexical access results for pseudo-words indicated that TFs impose constraints which operate at a later stage of word formation compared to other constraints, such as categorial specifications of the base. This strongly suggests that TFs play a crucial role in the creation of new DNs, independently of the type of nominal. The findings of the present study have implications for both psycholinguistics and theoretical linguistics. The psycholinguistic implications relate to the stage-like nature of lexical access, the existence of a general representational component called feature representation, and the role of grammatical class in both lexical access and the organization of the lexicon. The linguistic implications principally inform theories of word formation postulating feature percolation, as well as the role of various constraints operating during derivation. The experimental results support the view that the creation of a new word is subject to constraints specific to the morphological operations involved in it, such as thematic constraints for DNs. Furthermore, constraints seem to apply sequentially, with degrees of violability even for those constraints which are considered to be strong. More importantly, there appears to be a relationship between violability and late application, with those constraints that apply at a later stage being more violable.

Active queue management methods in computer communication networks based on pole placement and H-infinity optimal control

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: This thesis studies the control of TCP traffic in the Internet nowadays. Both classical and modern control theory are used to design the controllers for the TCP/AQM system. For the classical control theoretical approaches, we revisit the simple pole placement technique, and exploit this technique to propose four kinds of controllers for active queue management (AQM) in IP routers: the Proportional controller based on Pole Placement (the P_PP controller), the Proportional-plus-integral controller based on Pole Placement (the PI_PP controller), the Self Tuning Proportional controller based on Pole Placement (the ST_P_PP controller), and the Self-Tuning Proportional-plus-Integral controller based on Pole Placement (the ST_PI_PP controller). The transient performance indices---the damping ratio xi and the undamped natural frequency on, are appropriately chosen such that: (a) the transient response of the system is satisfied; (b) all the poles lie in the left-half of the s-plane to guarantee the stability of the system. The self-tuning controllers (the ST_P_PP and the ST_PI_PP) can maintain on-line tuning of the controller parameters so that good system performance can be ensured even under significant load changes. This thesis also investigates the application of a robust modern control technique--- Hinfinity optimal control to the AQM controller. Two Hinfinity loop-shaping techniques, the S/U Mixed Sensitivity Problem (MSP) and the S/T/U MSP are applied to the controller design. Different weight functions and their impacts on the system performance are discussed and evaluated. Finally, by modeling the uncertainties in the TCP/AQM system in terms of the uncertainty weight, this thesis also designs a robust AQM controller based on a modern control technique---robust mu analysis. The controller is synthesized by approximating the mu-optimal control problem with the Hinfinity S/T/U MSP. The NP (Nominal Performance), the RS (Robust Stability) and the RP (Robust Performance) of the system under the synthesized controller are analyzed using the mu analysis technique.
Do visual analogue scale (VAS) derived standard gamble (SG) utilities agree with Health Utilities Index utilities? A comparison of patient and community preferences for health status in rheumatoid arthritis patients

description: Background: Assessment of Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) has become increasingly important and various direct and indirect methods and instruments have been devised to measure it. In direct methods such as Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Standard Gamble (SG), respondent both assesses and values health states therefore the final score reflects patient's preferences. In indirect methods such as multi-attribute health status classification systems, the patient provides the assessment of a health state and then a multi-attribute utility function is used for evaluation of the health state. Because these functions have been estimated using valuations of general population, the final score reflects community's preferences. The objective of this study is to assess the agreement between community preferences derived from the Health Utilities Index Mark 2 (HUI2) and Mark 3 (HUI3) systems, and patient preferences. Methods Visual analog scale (VAS) and HUI scores were obtained from a sample of 320 rheumatoid arthritis patients. VAS scores were adjusted for end-aversion bias and transformed to standard gamble (SG) utility scores using 8 different power conversion formulas reported in other studies. Individual level agreement between SG utilities and HUI2 and HUI3 utilities was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Group level agreement was assessed by comparing group means using the paired t-test. Results After examining all 8 different SG estimates, the ICC (95% confidence interval) between SG and HUI2 utilities ranged from 0.45 (0.36 to 0.54) to 0.55 (0.47 to 0.62). The ICC between SG and HUI3 utilities ranged from 0.45 (0.35 to 0.53) to 0.57 (0.49 to 0.64). The mean differences between SG and HUI2 utilities ranged from 0.10 (0.08 to 0.12) to 0.22 (0.20 to 0.24). The mean differences between SG and HUI3 utilities ranged from 0.18 (0.16 to 0.2) to 0.28 (0.26 to 0.3). Conclusion At the individual level, patient and community preferences show moderate to strong agreement, but at the group level they have clinically important and statistically significant differences. Using different sources of preference might alter clinical and policy decisions that are based on methods that incorporate HRQL assessment. VAS-derived utility scores are not good substitutes for HUI scores.

The implementation of dynamic document organization using the integration of text clustering and text categorization
Creators: name: Jo, Taeho
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: A document organization is a collection of documents composed of labeled clusters that contain similar documents. In any information system, a collection of documents always changes as time goes, since users access the collection to delete, add, and update documents. Dynamic Document Organization is a document organization that adapts automatically to such variable document collections. DDO poses two challenges, because of the decentralized mode of access. First, some clusters may have many documents, while others may have very few. Second, documents belonging to new topics may be added to the information system very often. Considering these two points, we need to reorganize the collection of documents, even if it was organized previously. Both text categorization and text clustering are limited when implementing DDO (Dynamic Document Organization) individually. Text categorization requires the manual preliminary tasks of the predefinition of a classification system and the preparation of sample labeled documents. Text clustering generates only unnamed clusters alone; each cluster should be labeled, manually by scanning contained documents. Therefore, this dissertation proposes approaches to the implementation of DDO that combined text clustering, cluster identification, and text categorization.

The complete plastid genome sequence of the parasitic green alga Helicosporidium sp. is highly reduced and structured

description: Background: Loss of photosynthesis has occurred independently in several plant and algal lineages, and represents a major metabolic shift with potential consequences for the content and structure of plastid genomes. To investigate such changes, we sequenced the complete plastid genome of the parasitic, non-photosynthetic green alga, Helicosporidium. Results The Helicosporidium plastid genome is among the smallest known (37.5 kb), and like other plastids from non-photosynthetic organisms it lacks all genes for proteins that function in photosynthesis. Its reduced size results from more than just loss of genes, however; it has little non-coding DNA, with only one intron and tiny intergenic spaces, and no inverted repeat (no duplicated genes at all). It encodes precisely the minimal complement of tRNAs needed to translate the universal genetic code, and has eliminated all redundant isoacceptors. The Helicosporidium plastid genome is also highly structured, with each half of the circular genome containing nearly all genes on one strand. Helicosporidium is known to be related to trebouxiophyte green algae, but the genome is structured and compacted in a manner more reminiscent of the non-photosynthetic plastids of apicomplexan parasites. Conclusion Helicosporidium contributes significantly to our understanding of the evolution of plastid DNA because it illustrates the highly ordered reduction that occurred following the loss of a major metabolic function. The convergence of plastid genome structure in Helicosporidium and the Apicomplexa raises the interesting possibility that there are common forces that shape plastid genomes, subsequent to the loss of photosynthesis in an organism.

The performance of hybrid long-span cable stayed bridges using advanced composites
Creators: name: Almansour, Husham H
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: The development of the cable-stayed bridge central span has almost reached the technical limit for traditional materials, construction technology and bridge system capability. An innovative solution has been proposed in this research, which introduces a new hybrid long span cable stayed bridge system utilizing advanced composite materials for the deck and the stay cables. The system can be constructed for longer spans, as the deck and cable stiffness and strength to weight ratios are significantly improved. This diminishes the critical compressive stresses of the traditional deck in the pylon zones, and enables the use of longer cables. To overcome the complications resulting from the need to integrate the advanced composite material micro/macro design, and the resulting mechanical properties, to the structural modeling, a holistic iterative analysis and design procedure involving Multi-Scale Modeling Technique is proposed. The Stochastic Finite Element method, using a two-phase stochastic process, is introduced as an integrated part of the analysis and design procedure to evaluate the mechanical properties of the chopped FRP material, with single or multi-fiber types. On the other hand, the "Laminas Dominant Fiber Alignment" principle, LDFA, is introduced together with a simplified rule of laminate lay-up. The resulting laminate architecture gives better static and dynamic performance than simple orientation arrangements. Four innovative deck section models have been introduced and the hybrid bridge systems are scaled to match the bridge configurations and geometric characteristics of three of the world's longest span cable stayed bridges, of central span ranged from 465 m to 890 m. The hybrid bridge system gives quite acceptable maximum deflections, while the lateral and the longitudinal displacements are very small in general. The Tsai-Hill Failure Functions have values much lower than the criterion limit. The stresses in the stay cables and the chopped FRP parts are far lower than the strength of their materials. The natural frequencies for most of the cases are within the known ranges of this type of structure. Considering the static and the aerodynamic results, it is apparent that some of the proposed deck section models are efficient and stable for extremely long bridge central spans.

description: Franchising is a known form of network cooperation.It has been broadly described in terms of the relationship between the franchisee and the franchisor.These relationships are considered as standard not only between the franchisor and franchisee but also as a foundations of network operating in concerned sectors. In this context, the question arises about the role of the franchisee in the network.In this paper, this problem will be embedded in franchise networks in the Polish banking sector. The reason for this choice is a dynamic development of banking institutions operating on a franchise basis in Poland in recent years, which testifies to their market success.
A high density of ancient spliceosomal introns in oxymonad excavates

description: Background: Certain eukaryotic genomes, such as those of the amitochondriate parasites Giardia and Trichomonas, have very low intron densities, so low that canonical spliceosomal introns have only recently been discovered through genome sequencing. These organisms were formerly thought to be ancient eukaryotes that diverged before introns originated, or at least became common. Now however, they are thought to be members of a supergroup known as excavates, whose members generally appear to have low densities of canonical introns. Here we have used environmental expressed sequence tag (EST) sequencing to identify 17 genes from the uncultivable oxymonad Streblomastix strix, to survey intron densities in this most poorly studied excavate group. Results: We find that Streblomastix genes contain an unexpectedly high intron density of about 1.1 introns per gene. Moreover, over 50% of these are at positions shared between a broad spectrum of eukaryotes, suggesting theyare very ancient introns, potentially present in the last common ancestor of eukaryotes. Conclusion: The Streblomastix data show that the genome of the ancestor of excavates likely contained many introns and the subsequent evolution of introns has proceeded very differently in different excavate lineages: in Streblomastix there has been much stasis while in Trichomonas and Giardia most introns have been lost.

description: Traversée, selon Barthes, en tant que mathesis par tous les types de savoirs, la littérature réalise de constants transferts entre ces savoirs et l’imaginaire. Parmi ceux-ci figurent des savoirs non littéraires. Ma thèse consiste à étudier le savoir médical dans trois romans, publiés à trois moments distincts (1947 pour La peste, 1995 pour La quarantaine et 2005 pour Les trois médecins) et écrits par des écrivains appartenant à trois générations différentes (Albert Camus est né en 1913, J. M. G. Le Clézio en 1940 et Martin Winckler en 1955). Dans la première partie de ma thèse, je présente brièvement les deux bases théoriques sur lesquelles s’appuie mon travail. Il s’agit tout d’abord de l’intertextualité, moins dans sa première acception, présentée notamment par Julia Kristeva à la suite de Mikhaïl Bakhtine, que dans sa reformulation plus productive qu’en ont faite notamment Laurent Jenny, Gérard Genette et Marc Eigeldinger, lequel ouvre la voie à l’épistémocritique, ma seconde base théorique, telle qu’elle est produite en particulier par Michel Pierssens. Dans la seconde partie de ma thèse, l’étude des occurrences du savoir médical dans chacun des trois romans du corpus me conduit à en présenter les différentes fonctions qu’y remplit ce savoir. Je regroupe celles-ci autour de deux grands axes : les fonctions du savoir médical qui interviennent en relation avec l’auteur d’une part (fonctions autobiographique, narrative, diégétique et axiologique) et, d’autre part, celles qui mettent en jeu le lecteur (fonctions thématique, informative, didactique et herméneutique).

description: The purpose of this article is to present the most popular forms of networking between organizations on the Polish market. These forms on the one hand may be characteristic of the industry, but on the other hand are also of historical legacy. Moreover, the most popular form of this cooperation is already known even for hundred years (this is the phenomenon of franchising). Nowadays, however, the analysis of the mentioned forms of networks has gained wider context of reference - new paradigm of strategic management.

description: Background: The optimal management of croup – a common respiratory illness in young children – is well established. In particular, treatment with corticosteroids has been shown to significantly reduce the rate and duration of intubation, hospitalization, and return to care for on-going croup symptoms. Furthermore treatment with a single dose of corticosteroids does not appear to result in any significant adverse outcomes, and yields overall cost-savings for both families and the health care system. However, as has been shown with many other diseases, there is a significant gap between what we know and what we do. The overall aim of this study is to identify, from a societal perspective, the costs and associated benefits of three strategies for implementing a practice guideline that addresses the management of croup. Methods/designs: We propose to use a matched pair cluster trial in 24 Alberta hospitals randomized into three intervention groups. We will use mixed methods to assess outcomes including linkage and analysis of administrative databases obtained from Alberta Health and Wellness, retrospective medical chart audit, and prospective telephone surveys of the parents of children diagnosed to have croup. The intervention strategies to be compared will be mailing of printed educational materials (low intensity intervention), mailing plus a combination of interactive educational meetings, educational outreach visits, and reminders (intermediate intensity intervention), and a combination of mailing, interactive sessions, outreach visits, reminders plus identification of local opinion leaders and establishment of local consensus processes (high intensity intervention). The primary objective is to determine which of the three intervention strategies are most effective at lowering the rate of hospital days per 1,000 disease episodes. Secondary objectives are to determine which of the three dissemination strategies are most effective at increasing the use of therapies of known benefit. An economic analysis will be conducted to determine which of the three intervention strategies will most effectively reduce total societal costs including all health care costs, costs borne by the family, and costs stemming from the strategies for disseminating guidelines.

Structure and regulation of a novel multigene family implicated in soybean nodule development in the context of senescence
Creators: name: Webb, Candace June
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Biology, Genetics.

description: The soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) root nodule is an organ specialized for nitrogen fixation resulting from a symbiosis between the bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum and the roots. Root nodule senescence, its last stage of development, was the focus of this study. The progression of soybean root nodule senescence was examined using nitrogenase activity. During nodule development, nitrogenase activity was first observed with the appearance of nodules and peaked just prior to flowering, which marks the onset of nodule senescence. Accordingly, nitrogenase activity declined after flowering. Although nitrate and dark treatment both caused significant declines in nitrogenase activity, darkness caused a greater decline in nitrogenase activity than nitrate. The SAN1A gene, originally isolated from senescent root nodules (Chan, 1995), and two other members of the SAN1 gene family, were characterized. These genes represent a novel family of highly conserved, tandemly repeated genes in soybean. SAN1A and SAN1B encode predicted proteins of 352 and 353 amino acids, respectively, whereas SAN1C encodes a truncated protein of 126 amino acids and is likely a pseudogene. Despite their occurrence in tandem, gene conversion does not appear to have occurred within the evolutionary history of these genes. During natural senescence, SAN1A and SAN1B expression patterns suggested that SAN1A may play a role throughout nodule development, whereas SAN1B is likely to be more important during senescence. Both nitrate and dark treatment caused a decrease in SAN1A expression and an increase in SAN1B expression. Although both SAN1A and SAN1B were expressed in all soybean tissues examined, their patterns of expression differed. These results suggest that SAN1A and SAN1B have divergent functions or that SAN1B may replace SAN1A under conditions such as senescence. Preliminary results also suggest that SAN1A may be light regulated. Finally, a test of SAN1C expression in soybean tissues showed that it is expressed, despite the fact that it encodes a truncated protein. Database searches suggested that SAN1 genes are related to plant dioxygenases. A gene tree and BLASTP searches revealed that the SAN1 gene products are most closely related to uncharacterized dioxygenases identified in Arabidopsis, rice, and maritime pine, with the closest, identifiable dioxygenases being gibberellin 20-oxidases. Thus, the SAN1 genes may encode paralogues of known dioxygenases or novel dioxygenases. The evidence collected to date suggests that the SAN1 genes encode dioxygenases with roles in various aspects of plant metabolism. Further characterization of this family may yield more clues about their role(s).

description: North America's first medically supervised safer injecting facility (SIF) recently opened in Vancouver, Canada. One of the concerns prior to the SIF's opening was that the facility might lead to a migration of drug activity and an increase in drug-related crime. Therefore, we examined crime rates in the neighborhood where the SIF is located in the year before versus the year after the SIF opened. No increases were seen with respect to drug trafficking (124 vs. 116) or assaults/robbery (174 vs. 180), although a decline in vehicle break-ins/vehicle theft was observed (302 vs. 227). The SIF was not associated with increased drug trafficking or crimes commonly linked to drug use.

Subjects: Economics

description: Market circumstances related to changes of business environment resulted in the need to find new ways to engage in competitive struggle by companies. This has led to the emergence of cases of establishing cooperation between competitors, the so-called co-opetition. Such cooperation is consistent with the network approach, and one of its key problems are flows of knowledge within it. The aim of this paper is therefore an attempt to establish, basing on critical analysis of literature, theoretical framework of conditions for forming a frame of basic conditions for exchange of knowledge in the case of co-operation of competitors.

Adaptive controller design for Internet traffic: A control theoretical approach
Creators: name: Hong, Yang
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: This thesis presents adaptive control techniques for the prevention of end-to-end traffic congestion in the Internet. Instead of using heuristics to solve the congestion problem, we have systematically applied the classical control theory in our controller design in order to always guarantee the stability of the Internet control systems, and instead of using time-domain approaches, we have employed the frequency domain techniques in our control design. To support AQM(Active Queue Management) in the router, we have designed the adaptive P (Proportional) and the adaptive PI (Proportional-Integral) window-based router controllers for the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) traffic. Our adaptive controllers self-tune only when significant changes in network parameters have caused the phase margin or the gain margin of the AQM control system to drift outside a specified interval. Using the same control theoretical framework, we have provided different controllers to support best-effort streaming media traffic under different network models that we want to study. We first design an adaptive PI rate-based controller in typical network with SISO (Single-Input Single-Output) IP (Internet Protocol) routers. We then employ the DNA (Direct Nyquist Array) method to design an adaptive multi-loop PI rate-based controller under a network with MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) IP routers. In addition to window-based and rate-based router control algorithms, we finally design an adaptive utility-based source controller based on pole-placement technique that can provide a relatively smooth source transmission rate.
